After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Watching Shi Yan's actions, the Peach Blossom Fairy's eyebrows almost curved into a beautiful arc.

"All right……"

"I should go and prepare in advance." The woman gracefully rose and bowed to Shi Yan. She looked at the small hands that were both open and clenched, which were revealed through the pure white mandala, and took her leave with a smile.

Only then did Shi Yan release his grip.

The Pure Color Mandala let out a long sigh, its entire body leaning back.

The girl murmured softly, "I'm...I'm going to drown..."

"This is nothing like Loulan..."

Holding the soft, pure-colored mandala, she returned to the Tanlou.

Yun Susu, who was almost completely exhausted of spiritual energy in the morning, has now barely recovered and is taking care of things in Tanlou.

This is the strength of a cultivator who has reached the half-step enlightenment stage.

Regardless of other factors, its recovery speed is unmatched by ordinary cultivators.

Teacher Yan greeted the girl.

Yun Susu looked at Shi Yan and her shoulders shrank back, showing a mixture of fear and a longing for closeness.

really--

Even the most lifelike painted scrolls can't compare to real people.

A real person is much more useful than a scroll.

But... looking at Shi Yan, Yun Susu couldn't help but wonder if she had embarrassed herself yesterday.

They lost face way too quickly.

Her chaotic thoughts were all tangled together, making the girl even lose the courage to look Shi Yan in the eye.

The breath they exhaled, mixed with spiritual energy, turned into wisps of white spiritual mist that floated upwards.

Yun Susu vividly demonstrated to Shi Yan what it means to be a steampunk princess living in reality.

"Yesterday...yesterday..."

"Thank you for your hard work yesterday, Sister Su Su." Shi Yan looked at Yun Su Su, whose eyes were so misty they were about to overflow with tears, and whose ear tips were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

He preemptively gave the girl a way out.

"No...it's nothing." Yun Susu's small hands were twisted together.

"He actually taught me such an important technique as the 'Seventeen-Year Cicada' personally."

"Saving people is more important." Just looking at the girl's smiling face so close to her, Yun Susu felt as if she were tied up and placed on a stove.

He couldn't help but curse himself for being so useless.

Since I began to comprehend the scroll painted by my sister Shiyan, it must have been at least a thousand or eight hundred years.

Why are you still so disappointing when you finally meet Shi Yan in person?

He had originally wanted to show Shi Yan his power. But... when he saw that smiling face, his consciousness seemed to blur.

Huhu——

A strong wind seemed to rise around us.

Everything is drifting away from her.

The world seemed to freeze in that moment.

Yun Susu bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself down.

She wanted to cheat.

"Just... just this once."

Click—

From Shi Yan's perspective, the girl's shoulders seemed to sway slightly.

Yun Susu, who seemed not to have fully recovered, almost collapsed. Shi Yan quickly stepped forward and supported Yun Susu's shoulders. The girl's shoulders trembled slightly, and her expression seemed even more radiant.

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow.

Master Yan, who had also practiced the "Seventeen-Year Cicada," could sense that the girl had just activated the "Seventeen-Year Cicada."

She looked at Yun Susu, who had completely calmed down.

Did he actually use the "seventeen-year cicada" metaphor to calm himself down?

They really have some pretty good ways to cheat.

"Did Sister Shiyan sense the 'Seventeen-Year Cicada'?"

Gently straightening her voice and pretending to be nonchalant, Yun Susu removed her hand from Shi Yan's shoulder.

Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

"That……"

"Sister Shiyan should have already mastered the basics of 'Seventeen-Year Cicada'."

"Aunt Ming prepared a dinner for Sister Shiyan, right?"

"After returning from the banquet, Sister Shiyan can use the 'Snow Cold Technique' to... teach... teach Sister Xiaxia..."

"It's the 'seventeen-year cicada' now."

"it is good."

"Then... I'll go change into a dress for the banquet first." Not daring to look at Shi Yan again, Yun Susu moved her legs almost as if she were fleeing.

Watching Yun Susu's hasty retreat, Shi Yan wrinkled his nose at the Pure Color Mandala that he had tucked into his arms.

She smelled the aroma of "food".

"she……"

"Shh—" Shi Yan gently covered the mouth of the Pure Color Mandala.

The banquet prepared by the Peach Blossom Fairy was lavish and suited Shi Yan's taste perfectly.

At the previous banquet, she had carefully observed the dishes that Shi Yan liked and ate the most, and then prepared more dishes with similar flavors.

Although in Yun Susu's or Yun Shushu's view, Aunt Ming had only slightly changed the style, the feast was still as abundant as ever.

A sulking "idiot" like Du Gui would be even less likely to notice the subtlety involved.

But... Shi Yan could still sense it.

I could sense the peach blossom fairy's thoughtfulness.

Who wouldn't like such a big sister?

Raise your wine cup to the peach blossom fairy, and inside the cup sways and ripples... a clear, peach-scented wine.

Beside Shi Yan, Yun Susu was already half-drunk.

The girl was slightly drunk and still stammered, "Shi...Shiyan, my sister..."

"This wine..."

"You can't drink...you mustn't drink..."

The peach blossom fairy silently pulled the girl into her arms.

"Hmm!" The girl's eyes widened.

Shi Yan didn't care that much, but... looking at the girl's blushing face, he felt more and more that this guy might really have some kind of relationship with Mo Shu.

They all love drinking.

She clinked her wine cup against the peach blossom fairy's.

This wine isn't so bad to drink.

Shi Yan knew that the peach blossom demon only wanted to exchange some spiritual energy with him using wine.

Aunt Ming had no intention of plotting against him.

That was a deal that was out in the open... no, Shi Yan didn't really like the word "deal."

That was a gift I gave to her.

Let alone a little bit of spiritual energy, what difference would it make if she were given even a little bit of her heart's blood?

Anyway, the peach pit made it clear that it was meant to be planted.

It's better to take the initiative yourself.

As I said before... who could resist such an understanding older sister?

Supporting Yun Susu, the Peach Blossom Fairy and Shi Yan exchanged cups.

She looked at Shi Yan, "Lord Shi Yan... are you preparing to leave, is that right?"

Perhaps Miss Su Su can't tell.

But... the peach blossom fairy, who has lived through many more years, can sense it.

That feeling was just like when Lord Loulan looked at Lord Jingse Mandala and Lord Lingyao back then.

The peach blossoms have feelings.

The teacher was somewhat surprised.

Du Guidu, who was standing to the side, was taken aback.

The master said...are you getting ready to leave?

"She's similar to Lingyao and that girl you saw back then—" Shi Yan downed the peach wine in one gulp. Under the rather repressed gaze of the peach blossom demon, a bright bead of blood slowly seeped from the girl's fingertip and dripped into the wine cup.

Master Yan pushed the wine cup towards the peach blossom fairy.

"I think... you prefer this one."

"I encountered the same calamity as her."

"How could this be..." The peach blossom fairy even forgot to take the wine cup.
