After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

The spiritual energy forms a very thin yet effective barrier around the body, regulating the airflow and temperature.

He tried to "fly" forward, using his mind to drive his spiritual power. His body floated forward smoothly like a fish swimming in water, silently and slowly, with an indescribable elegance and composure.

Turn, reverse, ascend, descend...

For Golden Core cultivators, flying is almost as natural as breathing; it is a skill deeply rooted in their instinct for power!

The alley wasn't long; it ended in no time.

Outside is a busy main road.

Xu Ze took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to continue soaring, and slowly descended. The moment his feet touched the ground again, he had a strange feeling of being in another world.

The brief period of levitation, lasting only a few dozen seconds, seemed to open a door to a completely new world.

"I need to find an open space to see if I can use any spells or incantations. If I can..."

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Ze's eyes.

He needs a more secluded place.

But after the initial testing, we can only stop here for today.

After thinking it over, Xu Ze called again and asked Xiao Li to come back and pick him up.

That's right.

What concerned Xu Ze even more was the content of the secretary's phone call.

...What do you mean by saying that the game he designed has entered the closed beta stage?

Is this even possible?

Chapter 124 Mutual Destruction

"Go ahead."

After Xu Ze left, only Ding Wan and Bai Yuxi remained in the empty girls' dormitory.

A somewhat frail woman pulled out a chair, sat down, and crossed her legs, revealing their graceful lines.

How many things are you still hiding from me?

She stared intently at the girl not far away with a scrutinizing gaze.

Sunlight streamed in obliquely from the window, outlining a cold, hard halo around her.

It seemed as if a silent standoff had formed between the area where Bai Yuxi was located and the area where she was located.

"Oh dear, what are you saying, sister?"

Bai Yuxi blinked her naturally watery fox eyes, pouted her rosy lips slightly, and quickly switched to an innocent expression, her voice soft and sweet.

"I just... want to spend more time alone with my master."

As she spoke, she unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair that fell across her chest with her fingers, her eyelashes lowered to conceal the fleeting glint of cunning in her eyes:

"I promise, last night and this morning... I really just took care of my owner to rest, and I absolutely didn't do anything 'excessive'~"

She spoke the last few words softly and slowly, with a slight upward inflection at the end, which only added to the ambiguous and suggestive tone.

"Oh."

Ding Wan let out a short, cold sneer through her nose and crossed her arms.

As she watched Bai Yuxi's masterful performance, the scrutiny in her eyes intensified.

She had absolutely no belief in this little girl.

"So... the medicine in this cake was something you brought back from another world when you were reborn?"

After a cold laugh, Ding Wan deliberately dragged out her words, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"Forehead."

The fox girl froze.

She had clearly forgotten about this.

Damn, this woman is actually pretty smart!

In the real world, without the support of spiritual power and cultivation, it is obviously impossible to concoct the fox clan's 'secret medicine'.

That's because...

Bai Yuxi's brain was racing, but she couldn't come up with a logical explanation for a moment.

"Don't rush to make up stories."

Ding Wan gave Bai Yuxi no time to think of a solution, her cold voice interrupting her futile struggle.

Her body leaned slightly forward, which suddenly intensified the sense of oppression she brought.

"I noticed something was off about you a long time ago, you vixen."

As Ding Wan spoke, she deftly opened her small bag and pulled out a few sheets of paper.

His movements were unhurried, yet carried an air of unwavering confidence.

"I was thinking, how could such a coincidence happen?"

The paper was gently unfolded and placed on the small desk between the two of them.

Above are screenshots of Bai Yuxi's game records before and after entering this school!

“He’s always been great at games, I know, but you could never be a genius like him.”

“You suddenly became stronger during this period of time, and ridiculously so. Your reactions and operations are no longer within the scope of ‘normal humans’.”

Ding Wan tapped the paper in front of her with her fingertip, her gaze slightly narrowed. "You have recovered a certain level of cultivation. You are now a 'cultivator,' which is why you have such amazing physical abilities, almost like you're cheating."

Am I right?

After speaking, she slowly stood up, walked to the girl in front of her, looked at the top of her head, and said, word by word:

"Little fox?"

Bai Yuxi's fox ears twitched suddenly.

She stared wide-eyed at Ding Wan in disbelief, her rosy lips slightly parted, but she was speechless for a moment.

Why did Ding Wan discover it so quickly?!

Based solely on game data?

That woman's observation and reasoning abilities are terrifying!

And even if she found out, why did she say it?

Just like before, let's pretend nothing happened and remember nothing. Let's all keep it to ourselves and enter that world again in seven days. Wouldn't that be better?

"Now, answer my next question."

Ding Wan seemed quite satisfied with Bai Yuxi's reaction at this moment; it was a sense of control that came from confirming her guess.

Instead of pressing her advantage, she leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs again, and even appeared somewhat relaxed, though her eyes remained cold and sharp.

"The cultivation you recovered in the real world, though weak, is clearly not something that came out of thin air."

"What 'thing' is helping you? Or rather... who are you on the same side with?"

"Sister... what are you saying? I really don't understand at all..."

Bai Yuxi suppressed the turmoil in her heart and tried to make a final struggle.

She forced a pitiful smile, but her fox ears drooped uncontrollably, betraying her guilty conscience.

"Continue to play dumb, huh?"

Ding Wan raised an eyebrow and suddenly smiled, but the smile was devoid of warmth; instead, it carried a resolute air of desperation.

"can."

“But Bai Yuxi, let me tell you, you’ve already broken the rules from the moment you tried to influence him with the ‘secret medicine’!”

"You have crossed the line between us, or at least the line I believe should exist between us!"

She slowly stood up, looking down at the girl sitting on the edge of the bed. Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a nail, striking Bai Yuxi's ears:

"If you still refuse to confess now, then I can guarantee that in the next few days, that is, the time before 'time travel'..."

"I will use every means at my disposal to make you leave this school completely and get out of Xu Ze's sight."

Ding Wan paused, looking at Bai Yuxi's suddenly contracted pupils, and continued in a calm tone:

“Even if it means resorting to extreme measures, or even a fight, to send us to the detention center to ‘cool down’ for a few days… I would do it without hesitation.”

"You should know that I can do it."

She bent slightly, getting close to Bai Yuxi's pale face, her breath as fragrant as orchids, yet as cold as a biting wind:

"I can make sure that you will never have any contact with him again for the rest of your life... not even a chance encounter."

Bai Yuxi froze completely, a chill running from her tailbone straight to the top of her head.

She understood the unspoken threat in Ding Wan's words.

This woman is serious!

She was even willing to "die together" and use some extreme method to isolate herself from Xu Ze!

She was now horrified to realize that in the real world, Xu Ze seemed to "remember" only her, Bai Yuxi.

Whether or not Ding Wan stays at school these few days is completely irrelevant to her!

So, this woman...

She really could do it!

"……Ugh."

After a long while, Bai Yuxi's shoulders slumped.

"You're really ruthless."

She seemed to have all her strength drained away; the feigned innocence and naivety on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of irritability.
