Fairy, please don't do this!

……

As soon as Gu Jinzhao came out of Lin Qingci's room, he saw the calico cat with its paws tucked in, lying on the railing of the corridor, dozing off with its eyes half-closed.

He asked with some curiosity, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The calico cat drooped its eyelids listlessly, its tone slightly aggrieved: "Lin Qingci is a restless sleeper. She held me tightly in her arms in the middle of the night, and I couldn't breathe."

The more I struggled, the tighter she held me, muttering things like, "Senior brother, don't abandon Qingci..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinzhao was first taken aback, and then his expression suddenly changed.

How could Lin Qingci utter such words that were both sorrowful and full of deep affection at this moment?

Even if he rushed to the Lin family to save her, he would only feel gratitude and a little goodwill at most, certainly not to this extent.

Therefore, there is only one explanation.

Lin Qingci is also on her second playthrough...

Chapter 12, How can childhood sweethearts stand up to a junior sister who suddenly appears out of nowhere?

Is my junior sister also on her second playthrough?

"My life is over!"

Gu Jinzhao felt that although his body was warm, he estimated that it would cool down soon.

What kind of hellish difficulty is this?

He had originally planned to lower his junior sister's favorability, which is why he rushed to the Lin family in such a hurry.

Now, things have gotten even better. The junior sister he saved is actually on her second playthrough, and her affection for him is already maxed out.

Moreover, she has not lost her sword essence in this life. As long as she cultivates diligently, her cultivation level will soon surpass his.

If she finds out that she and Mu Yiren have already signed a marriage certificate, wouldn't she be in trouble again?

Gu Jinzhao forced himself to calm down: "There's still a chance to save him!"

Clearly, the plan to jump ship has been blocked from both ends, leaving only the option of layering armor!

Fortunately, although Lin Qingci and Mu Yiren are both on their second playthrough, they are still unaware of each other's background.

Since that's the case, not only should we not expose this secret, but we should also keep it a secret from each other.

This is equivalent to having two... no, two pure love routes under one foot, allowing one to live a peaceful life for a while.

Of course, secrets can't stay hidden forever, and this matter will be exposed sooner or later.

Therefore, we must improve our strength as soon as possible before we are discovered.

The problem is that although his cultivation aptitude is quite good, it is far inferior to theirs.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath: "It seems that I can only go to that woman and practice that quick success method."

The woman's name was An Wanxi, and she was sealed on the top floor of the Demon Suppression Tower of the Qingyun Sect.

She will only appear in the world when the Demon-Suppressing Tower collapses.

Those who can be kept at the very top are naturally beings comparable to the big boss.

In fact, An Wanxi was the Holy Maiden of the Gu Clan a thousand years ago. She once unified the six departments of the Gu Clan, united the demon clan and the human clan, and suppressed the demon clan that was ravaging the world within the Nine Netherworld.

At that time, the six tribes of the Gu clan were independent of each other, and the difficulty of unification was comparable to that of Qin Shi Huang sweeping across the six kingdoms.

An Wanxi was able to succeed because she cultivated the forbidden technique of the Gu Clan—the "Six Elements True Demon Technique".

Although this method follows the plundering path of demons devouring others to strengthen themselves, it uses the flesh, blood, and soul of demons as sacrifices to nourish themselves.

To put it bluntly, it's like Murong Fu of Gusu using their own methods against them!

As she slew more and more demons, An Wanxi's strength increased by leaps and bounds under the blessing of this technique, eventually reaching the half-step super grade.

However, quick success methods inevitably have drawbacks.

The drawback of the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" is that it breeds demonic nature, which becomes increasingly difficult to suppress as one's cultivation level increases.

After the great battle, fearing that An Wanxi would completely lose control, the six departments of the Gu Clan took advantage of her still-healing injuries to use the Gu Clan's divine artifact to destroy her physical body and annihilate her soul.

Unfortunately, her strength was too terrifying; even if her physical body shattered, her soul could not be erased.

Ultimately, it could only be divided into four parts and suppressed in the four corners of the world.

One of the divine souls was sealed in Qingyun Mountain in Qingzhou, which is now the Demon Suppression Tower of Qingyun Sect.

Gu Jinzhao stroked his chin thoughtfully: "She only has a quarter of her soul left. Even if she is demonic, I have the imperial dynasty's fortune protecting me, so I should be able to suppress it and prevent it from going out of control."

He had tried this method in the game, and it did work.

The only trouble is that to reach the top of the Demon Suppression Tower, one must reach the seventh rank to safely deal with the layers of demons.

However, once you enter the True Yang Sword Palace and obtain the semi-immortal weapon [Crimson Sky], the problem will be solved.

"Um......"

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard a very faint groan of pain.

"Junior sister, what's wrong?"

Gu Jinzhao, who had been standing quietly waiting, felt a tightness in his heart upon hearing the sound and rushed in without thinking.

"The medicinal power of Danxia Warm Jade Dew is too strong, I... cannot absorb it."

At this moment, the medicinal liquid in the bathtub was bubbling with fine bubbles. Lin Qingci gripped the edge of the tub tightly with her fingertips, and her skin was flushed red.

Her snow-white shoulders and neck were taut, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her collarbone, sliding down her skin and mixing with the red medicinal liquid.

Gu Jinchao frowned, disregarding the difference between men and women, and quickly walked around behind the screen. He grabbed her wrist and felt it was burning hot to the touch.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the sword bone was damaged, which had even blocked the most basic circulation of Qi, thus preventing the sword from mobilizing enough spiritual power to neutralize the medicinal effects.

If only ordinary pills for nourishing qi and blood are used, they can be absorbed naturally even without the aid of spiritual power.

But he happened to buy the finest [Danxia Warm Jade Dew], whose medicinal power was immense and vast, all of which gathered in the Qihai acupoint.

If it is not dissolved with spiritual power, it may burst the meridians.

With his mind racing, Gu Jinchao dared not delay. He quickly made a hand seal and pointed his fingers like a sword, directly striking the Qihai acupoint.

"Well……"

As spiritual energy surged in, Lin Qingci's delicate body trembled slightly, and her originally pale cheeks suddenly flushed crimson.

However, the burning red color on his body gradually faded, and the medicinal effects began to nourish his flesh and bones.

Seeing that her expression had softened slightly, Gu Jinchao said with a hint of guilt, "It was my fault for being negligent and forgetting about Junior Sister's sword bone."

"It's not my fault, Senior Brother... He just wanted me to recover quickly."

Lin Qingci had already leaned on his shoulder without him noticing. Her breathing was slightly rapid, and her slightly parted lips were a little dull in color, with her soft and moist little tongue faintly visible.

Water droplets rolled down her smooth chin, flowed over her delicate collarbone, skimmed over her full, high breasts, and finally disappeared into the water, creating ripples.

A warm breath came over him, and Gu Jinchao subconsciously lowered his eyes.

His gaze met those misty, watery eyes, and below that, a slender, jade-like figure veiled in fog.

As the medicinal effects were gradually absorbed, the originally murky red water turned into a clear, light color, reflecting two bright, white moons.

Perhaps due to the gentle effects of the medicine, she felt a slight pain, her delicate body trembling slightly, her shapely buttocks appearing and disappearing underwater, rippling with alluring waves.

Her wet, dark hair clung to her snowy back, outlining her graceful waistline and revealing a captivating allure.

Gu Jinzhao's heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked away and asked in a low voice, "Junior Sister, are you feeling better?"

"Better."

Lin Qingci blushed and shyly responded.

In fact, she knew before the medicinal bath that she could not fully absorb the medicinal power of the [Danxia Warm Jade Dew], but she did not mention it.

The purpose was naturally to get closer to my senior brother.

Although it was a little embarrassing, Lin Qingci understood that only by doing this could she gradually make her senior brother like her.

In her dream, she was too fragile, which meant that even though their relationship was already very close, they never broke through that thin veil.

In the end, Mu Yiren got there first.

So what if they're childhood sweethearts?

The one accompanying her senior brother now is Lin Qingci.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage; how can a childhood sweetheart compete with a junior sister who suddenly appears out of nowhere?

"The remaining medicinal effects are gradually being absorbed. Please call me if you need anything, Junior Sister!"

After helping Lin Qingci absorb all the medicinal power, Gu Jinzhao hurriedly left the room without looking back.

Gazing at that disheveled figure, Lin Qingci's lips unconsciously curved into a charming smile.

If she had been so proactive in her past life, how could she have ended up with such a tragic fate?

Chapter 13, Is My Junior Sister Seducing Me?

After closing the door, Gu Jinchao frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.

Since my junior sister is on her second playthrough, she will not only achieve the Innate Sword Body in the future, but also cultivate the Dao of Alchemy. How could she not know how strong the medicinal power of the [Danxia Warm Jade Dew] is?

If you knew that, why didn't you remind him before?

This was clearly an attempt to seduce him, or rather, an offensive.

"My junior sister is playing on her second playthrough, so naturally she's thinking of seizing the initiative."

'However, she didn't know that Sister Yiren was also on her second playthrough, while I was on my sixth.'

'In that case, it seems we can certainly put this into practice!'

Gu Jinchao sat down on the wooden railing outside the door, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.

According to the game's storyline, he should have been the one to win over the female lead, but now it's the other way around, with the female lead winning him over in the second playthrough.

That's good too. As long as we keep both ends stable, we can have more time for cultivation.

Of course, there's a prerequisite!

You must not reveal yourself, and you absolutely cannot let Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci discover that you are both on the second playthrough.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinzhao picked up the calico cat beside him and placed it on his lap: "What did Xiaoli see just now?"

The calico cat licked its paws and said without hesitation, "Lin Qingci was taking a bath when the young master barged in, and then somehow they ended up hugging each other."

Gu Jinzhao's face darkened, and he suddenly had the urge to cut off the cat's food.

It was clearly Lin Qingci who had an accident during her medicinal bath, and he went in to save her, but it all turned out differently in her mouth.

If Mu Yiren found out, she might go sharpen her knife.

"When I went out to buy pills just now, I also bought some of the new food from Baiweizhai. It tastes quite good."

Gu Jinzhao suppressed his chaotic thoughts, took out an oil paper package from his bosom, and opened it to reveal a bunch of luscious and juicy candied fruits.

In an instant, an enticing aroma wafted everywhere.

"It smells so good!"

The calico cat's eyes lit up, and it pounced, only to miss.

Gu Jinzhao gently stroked her furry body and asked with a smile, "What did Little Fox see?"

The calico cat twitched its whiskers, its little face scrunched up, looking quite troubled.

She wanted to eat, but she had also promised her mistress to keep an eye on the young master and to write down any overstepping of his bounds.

The two of them had hugged earlier, so they should definitely remember that.

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly and kindly reminded her, "Didn't you just fall asleep here?"

Are you asleep?

Yes, I think I fell asleep.

Since you're asleep, you naturally can't see or hear anything.
