After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"Master..." Nestled in Shi Yan's arms, Shi Jiuzhou gently tugged at Shi Yan's sleeve.

Compared to her previous resoluteness, the sword spirit girl's face now showed more vitality and humanity, or perhaps... a touch of greed.

Sometimes she would even make a wish.

If only Master Shiyan could stay in the "Sword Tomb" forever.

Or... how wonderful it would be if her master could take her away from the "Sword Tomb".

Unfortunately not.

She... was destined to never leave the "Sword Tomb" or the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

According to the unofficial information the master received in a previous life.

Players must reach the Feathered Realm, or even the Ascension Realm, before they can subdue the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilions" and turn the sword spirit girls into their adorable storage servants.

However... it wasn't until Shi Yan 'suddenly died' that the game's expansion reached the Tribulation Realm.

There's still one more step—enlightenment—that's needed to reach the Ascension Realm.

Shi Yan helped the girl up by supporting her shoulders, and she looked into Shi Jiuzhou's lingering and reluctant eyes.

The time for "Sword Tomb" to close is fast approaching.

The next time we meet... will be at least a year from now.

But... in truth, both of them knew it.

A year later, Shi Yan will surely have already broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm, successfully crystallized, or even successfully formed the Core.

Once you pass the Foundation Establishment stage... you can no longer enter the "Sword Tomb".

The next time they meet might be more than ten years later, when Shi Yan, who is about to ascend to immortality, returns and takes her away from this prison.

Both of them knew this clearly, but neither of them said it aloud.

"Master...aren't you going out to meet them?" Shi Jiuzhou hugged Shi Yan tightly, the girl's shoulders trembling.

Shi Yan shook his head.

After parting ways with the people of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, we can also part ways after we leave.

But... Kyushu.

I don't know when I'll see a girl again.

Click-click—

It was as if a clock was ticking on both of their heartstrings. Just before they were about to be teleported out of the "Sword Tomb," she leaned down and hugged the girl's head tightly.

Before leaving... she could stay a little longer for the girl.

A white light swept across the "Sword Tomb".

Shi Jiuzhou could clearly sense that all the cultivators inside and outside the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" had been teleported away.

But... it's as if she's unwilling to face reality.

She felt as if she were still in her master's warm embrace, and the sweet taste on her lips continued to invade her mouth.

Shi Jiuzhou opened his eyes.

She froze.

This is not a dream; Master Shiyan really was not teleported out of the "Sword Tomb".

Shi Yan was also stunned.

She looked up and subconsciously reached out to knead the soft flesh of the girl's waist, watching the girl whimper and nestle in her arms.

Holy crap, this isn't a dream.

I... am truly trapped in the "Sword Tomb".

Part 81. Master Jiuzhou - Limited Edition Ribbon Gift Skin.JPG [Third Update]

Your wish came true!?

Shi Jiuzhou grabbed Shi Yan's wrist as he played with his waist.

The master's body... felt so real and soft.

Master Yan was indeed left inside the "Sword Tomb".

but--

Along with the joy came a great deal of panic.

She was indeed very happy that Master Shiyan stayed in the "Sword Tomb". But...but...Master Shiyan had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and could not completely abstain from grains.

Apart from the spiritual herbs and plants, the "Sword Tomb" is basically an endless wilderness with no living creatures.

The evil spirits and malevolent swords that roam within the "Sword Tomb" often bear the name of "Soul of XX".

The master said that the master could not find much to eat.

In other words... Master said his master would starve to death here.

Shi Jiuzhou's divine sense instantly swept across the entire "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" and began to extend outwards, sweeping across the entire "Sword Tomb".

All the cultivators who entered the "Sword Tomb" have been teleported out of the "Sword Tomb".

but why?

Why did the master say that the master did not have it?

The girl looked flustered and confused.

On the contrary, Shi Yan remained very calm.

She reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek, pressing the edge of her thumb against the corner of the girl's lips.

Shi Jiuzhou was forced to sit in Shi Yan's lap in a rather aggrieved posture, tilting his little head upwards.

In this position, the girl is forced to maintain a posture with tears in her eyes and soft panting.

"Don't panic." She gently kissed Shi Jiuzhou's tear-filled eyes, and Shi Jiuzhou's delicate hand, which was clinging to Shi Yan's shoulder, grasped it.

It's different from all the later dungeons in the game.

"Sword Tomb" is a purely welfare-oriented dungeon.

Even the final trial in the "Sword Tomb"—the Sword Spirit Girl—is part of the perk itself.

Yes, in every sense of the word.

Therefore, Shi Yan was not flustered.

I was probably only kept here because I met some certain conditions.

It is very likely a blessing in disguise.

"Ming Zhongqing, those people from the Qinglian Sword Sect, and that man and woman..." Shi Yan reached out and cupped the girl's legs, then simply picked her up in his arms.

"Has everyone else left?"

"Eee..." The sword spirit girl let out a soft sob and curled her feet up shyly.

She nodded.

In order to 'bewitch' Master Shiyan, or... perhaps he was 'bewitched' by Master Shiyan.

The girl dressed herself up as the 'ribbon gift' that Shi Yan had mentioned.

She was only casually covered by a few pink ribbons, leaving large swaths of her snow-white skin exposed.

Although I know... the ribbon formed from the essence of swordsmanship is different from a ribbon in the conventional sense.

No matter how difficult the move I make, I won't expose myself.

But... the shame in her heart still made Shi Jiuzhou subconsciously hug Shi Yan's neck tightly, and the feeling of being lifted up made her heart beat wildly.

Shi Yan pushed open the girl's bedroom door.

squeak-

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Shi Jiuzhou's entire body trembled involuntarily.

Although he knew that there was no one else in the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" except for himself and Master Shiyan, the feeling of being dressed like this, being held in Master Shiyan's arms, and walking in the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" still made Shi Jiuzhou feel dizzy.

However... I don't object.

As long as Shi Yan is still by my side, and as long as there is no one else, it is... barely acceptable.

Can...

It's clear that there are more than just the two of them in the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

As Shi Jiuzhou's door opened, the clicking and clattering sounds that had been echoing in the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" suddenly stopped.

"Sister Jiuzhou, I've come to find you..."

Shi Jiuzhou turned his head blankly and looked utterly bewildered. A short, chubby, and innocent-looking little girl was standing inside the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" holding a gold ingot.

The little Pixiu was also dumbfounded.

Alas...

Sister Jiuzhou is using increasingly cheaper fabrics for her clothes.

Wait, why is Sister Shiyan still in the "Sword Tomb"?

Only when Shi Jiuzhou's eyes became empty and unfocused did the little Pixiu's voice fall like pearls on a jade plate.

"Looking for you..."

"I've played...it."

"Eee-yah-yah-yah!!!" The sword spirit girl vibrated in Shi Yan's arms, quickly shrinking into a jade sword, and then darted back into her room.

bang-

The door to the girl's bedroom was slammed shut.

The little Pixiu tilted its head, seemingly not yet realizing what had happened.
