After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

It seems... that rumor might be true.

The young master of the Shi family truly has a close relationship with the Qinglian Sword Sect.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Shi Yan stared at Ming Zhongle and Bai Xiaoxiao with almost malicious intent.

Bai Xiaoxiao felt as if she had been stripped naked and was being manipulated at will by that 'boy' just because Shi Yan looked her up and down like that.

Logically speaking... this shouldn't be the case.

'He'... is clearly only at the Qi Refining stage.

The fox spirit's resentment was spreading wildly.

Yet, she felt no resistance whatsoever; in fact, she even wanted to humbly grovel before him and await his instructions.

Her body was trembling.

A bizarre electric current raged along her limbs, and she vaguely felt that the base of her tail was being viciously grabbed by the other party, as if it would become visible in the next second.

Bai Xiaoxiao could only bite her lip tightly and lower her head to avoid looking at Shi Yan.

Ming Zhongle also saw the master's words.

Shi Yan could clearly see the tremor in the young man's eyes after seeing him, but he didn't show any unusual reaction. Shi Yan just smiled as always.

He saw Ming Zhongqing on Shi Yan's back.

Even though Ming Zhongle was terrified, he had no choice but to hold the girl's hand and walk towards Shi Yan, "Senior brother..."

"And my little sister..."

"Little sister, I'm so glad you're alright."

"Heh." Shi Yan's smile grew even brighter.

Part 74. Let you die? No... that's not enough. [Second Update]

Facing Ming Zhongle, Ming Zhongqing, who was lying limp and weak behind Shi Yan, did not answer.

Or perhaps... she no longer had the energy or the inclination to answer.

Ming Zhongqing gently tugged at Shi Yan's collar and whispered in Shi Yan's ear, "Put me... down."

The girl's voice was so shy it was barely audible.

If I hadn't been right next to Shi Yan's ear, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear me.

But... the tingling sensation of that damp breath blowing into my ear was still quite nice.

The teacher did not move.

Instead, he grabbed the girl's thighs and lifted her body up a bit more.

Ming Zhongqing's little hands gripped Shi Yan's robe tightly, and his little face was buried in Shi Yan's neck.

"Sorry..." Shi Yan looked at the fox girl hiding behind Ming Zhongle, and Ming Zhongle subconsciously blocked Shi Yan's view with his body.

“Ming Zhongqing’s injuries are severe; he needs to rest more.”

“Yes…” Ming Zhongle had no confidence when facing Shi Yan.

"Yes..." he could only agree, "Little sister should get some rest."

Ever since he learned that Shi Yan had attacked the fourth elder of the Shi family despite being of a higher level, Ming Zhongle had become completely timid.

He was only at the Qi Refining stage.

He had no chance of winning against Shi Yan, who was capable of killing someone in the Foundation Establishment realm, not to mention that his backer, his younger sister who was also in the Foundation Establishment realm, was paralyzed behind him.

Ming Zhongqing buried his head in Shi Yan's neck, while the girl looked down at Ming Zhongle and Bai Xiaoxiao's ankles with a melancholy gaze.

The girl bit her lips until they turned white, while Ming Zhongqing, standing in front of Shi Yan, tightened his grip on Shi Yan's clothes little by little.

Originally... after encountering the "Soul of the White Fox," she wanted to stall for time and then let everyone leave together using the jade sword.

But... when I turned around, I only saw my elder brother's back.

Ming Zhongqing once thought he was about to die, but he never expected that... in the end, it would be this nemesis who came to save him.

Like a god descending to earth, he swept away all the gloom before his eyes with a single sword strike.

Ming Zhongqing had mixed feelings.

Especially after seeing his elder brother and that...that fallen female cultivator again at the Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion.

Ming Zhongqing felt a lump in his throat, and his eyes seemed to sting. He couldn't lift his head.

She simply pressed her cheek against Shi Yanxue's smooth skin, trembling slightly.

Shi Yan felt the girl trembling on his body and couldn't help but sigh softly. He reached out and grabbed Ming Zhongqing's small hand that was tightly gripping his clothes.

Ming Zhongqing's hand trembled, and he slowly loosened his grip, which was then held in Shi Yan's hand.

"The nemesis beneath me..."

"The teacher said..."

"Besides always liking to tease herself, besides..."

"It's a girl."

"Apart from..."

"He's a womanizer."

"It doesn't seem so bad."

Ming Zhongqing then thought of the image of the girl named Shi Jiuzhou hugging Shi Yan from behind.

So close—

That girl should also be able to realize that Shi Yan is actually a woman disguised as a hairpin.

Yet they remained so affectionate.

"Girls..."

"It seems there are no problems?"

Once again, an almost forbidden thought arose in Ming Zhongqing's mind.

She lowered her head, refusing to look at Ming Zhongle.

Shi Yan's words were always sharp and confrontational towards Ming Zhongle, but no matter how much Shi Yan teased him, Ming Zhongle remained timid and did not resist.

Shi Yan's lips curled up.

Actually, it's better that he's a bit of a coward. With Ming Zhongqing on his back, it's really not right for him to strike with his sword.

But... forgiveness is impossible.

Especially after Shi Jiuzhou secretly thought to himself... that Ming Zhongle did indeed have two jade swords.

"Then... I'll leave my little sister in your care, Young Master." Ming Zhongle bowed respectfully to Shi Yan.

He was so cowardly that you couldn't even see any resentment in his eyes.

"Little sister..."

"I'm really relieved to see that you're alright."

Ming Zhongqing, who was leaning on Shi Yan's shoulder, simply turned his head away and refused to look at him.

Ming Zhongle smiled somewhat awkwardly.

He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles if he continued to stay there, and he regretted not being tempted by the spiritual energy of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

I should have left "Sword Tomb" early on.

That bastard Shi Yan... actually managed to latch onto the Qinglian Sword Sect's coattails.

but--

Ming Zhongle glanced again at the gauze skirt with blue lotus patterns on Ming Zhongqing's body.

My younger sister should have established a good relationship with the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, probably because they rescued her when they happened to be passing by.

He bent over and slowly backed away.

But he didn't see that behind him, Bai Xiaoxiao nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, watching Shi Yan with his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but she also looked frightened.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go." Ming Zhongle grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao's hand and tried to leave.

But... Bai Xiaoxiao just stood there nervously. The fox girl's orange, distinctly different eyes looked at Shi Yan with an almost servile gaze.

It's like... waiting for its master's command.

Shi Yan's smile gradually broadened into a radiant one.

She quickly realized what had happened.

Although... this was only their first meeting in this world.

but--

In the original game world, I would almost always actively seek out the "honey trap" of the "White Fox Soul" to relieve the boredom every time I entered the "Sword Tomb".

Because it is a 'monster'.

Because it is an evil spirit that wants to harm him, Shi Yan will not be so gentle.

Furthermore... the CG also leans more towards the violent aspect.

Stockholm syndrome.

Or rather...

Looking into Bai Xiaoxiao's deeply frightened eyes, Shi Yan smiled wickedly, his mouth slightly opening and closing.

It's like giving instructions.

What is meant by a golden opportunity?

Shi Yan had already figured out how to get revenge on Ming Zhongle.

Bai Xiaoxiao saw Shi Yan tremble in panic, and her head drooped down. She hurriedly followed Ming Zhongle away.
