Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

*Snap...*

A soft sound was heard.

It sounded like water droplets falling; if the room hadn't been so quiet, it would have been hard to hear.

Ji Nanbei cupped Xiao Jingxi's small face in his hands, puzzled.

But then, tears began to slide down the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"No... I'm just happy!"

Ji Nanbei smiled and ruffled Xiao Jingxi's hair.

[A reward of 100,000 Demonic Path Points and a Grade 5 Spiritual Treasure, the Bee-Attracting and Butterfly-Attracting Robe, have been added to the system space.]

Xiao Yixian is numb.

Ugh! Stop showing off your love like that! There's someone else here!

I just said that nobody wants to see him, and you're acting like this? Don't I lose face?

Finally realizing that her personality was holding her back, Xiao Yixian silently sulked.

I don't know who I'm angry with.

Fortunately, Ji Nanbei was experienced in coaxing young girls, and in just a few words, he turned Xiao Jingxi from tears of joy into a blushing, embarrassed face.

Well, I guess you could call that a talent.

They always manage to ruin everything, even when the atmosphere is just right.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Jingxi suddenly said:

"Can I... hold you and sleep for a while?"

Ji Nanbei was somewhat puzzled.

He had never seen Xiao Jingxi sleep; Xiao Jingxi usually replaced sleep with cultivation.

In fact, almost all cultivators are like this; once they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they basically give up sleeping.

Cultivation not only allows you to conserve your energy but also improves your cultivation level, making it more cost-effective than sleeping too much.

But... who could resist an adorable little sword fairy?

"No! Don't do strange things with my body!"

Xiao Yixian is vehemently opposed.

However, the objections were ineffective.

Ji Nanbei once again ignored Xiao Yixian's opinion, infuriating him.

Holding Xiao Jingxi in his arms, the room fell silent.

Feeling enveloped in warmth, Xiao Jingxi lowered her guard and closed her eyes...

In fact, such a state is definitely a luxury for cultivators.

Although this cultivation world is not the kind of world where fighting and killing are commonplace and conflicts are severe, it is still cruel.

Even your closest relatives might stab you in the back.

There are very few times when you can let down your guard.

Xiao Jingxi gradually fell asleep in the warmth.

And Ji Nanbei…

It wasn't that he was a saint, but rather that he was simply incapable of doing anything truly evil.

After activating the system, Ji Nanbei simply consumed 60,000 Demonic Path Points to shield the negative effects of the Nine Yuan Pill Body talent for two hours, took out some pills, and began cultivating.

Xiao Yixian was still in a state of impotent rage.

I'm so angry!

Time flows on. (Hmm, am I using this too many times?)

Xiao Yixian's cultivation level has been raised to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It can be said that the Nine Yuan Pill Body is truly domineering. No matter what kind of pill it is, it can use its medicinal power to cultivate without worrying about pill poisoning or any aftereffects.

The improvement was incredibly rapid.

The time has come for Ji Nanbei to possess another body.

Seeing that Xiao Jingxi was still fast asleep, Ji Nanbei did not wake her and silently left, returning to his original body.

Having regained control of her body, Xiao Yixian was about to push Xiao Jingxi away.

However, being so close, Xiao Yixian felt a little reluctant.

Xiao Jingxi's current state reminded her of herself; she too longed for a safe embrace, a place where she could forget everything and fall asleep peacefully.

And... she's really beautiful.

In the end, Xiao Yixian did not make any changes and simply maintained the status quo.

however…

After Ji Nanbei left, Xiao Jingxi, who had been sleeping, seemed to sense something, her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Their sleepy-eyed appearance is quite adorable.

So much so that Xiao Yixian couldn't help but want to rub Xiao Jingxi's arm.

At this moment, she finally understood some of Ji Nanbei's happiness.

She's so cute!

However, just as Xiao Yixian reached out his hand, Xiao Jingxi instantly stood up, his figure transforming into a blur as he flashed to the side.

Xiao Yixian: ?

What's wrong with this guy? Is someone stupid?

Puzzled, Xiao Yixian stood up and extended her hand to Xiao Jingxi again.

Xiao Jingxi immediately retreated.

At the same time, his expression was serious and his gaze was cold.

"What do you want to do?"

That sounds like an interrogation.

Xiao Yixian: ? ? ?

Oh no, you were sleeping soundly in my arms just now, and now you're turning your back on me?

Although it's a different soul...

But surely the reactions shouldn't be so drastically different!

Were you serious about taking half a step back?

Such a small action can cause such great harm.

Damn it!

Xiao Yixian added another mark to Ji Nanbei's name in her mind.

It must all be his fault!

Returning to his original body, Ji Nanbei breathed a long sigh of relief.

Well, we've finally dealt with a major issue.

Right now, with Xiao Yixian following Xiao Jingxi, there shouldn't be any problems.

Xiao Yixian's cultivation can be pushed forward slowly. The Nine Yuan Pill Body is incredibly efficient. By pushing forward his cultivation in this way, there is no need to worry about the side effects of the Nine Yuan Pill Body.

Meanwhile, the healer also has a method. After the Demonic Path Competition ends and they return, they can begin to treat him.

Now, we can focus on dealing with this Demonic Path Competition.

Ji Nanbei then remembered the reward for the mission.

It seems to be something... a flowery dress that attracts bees and butterflies?

A fifth-grade spiritual treasure isn't considered low.

However… there's a hidden danger: this magical treasure appeared as the second option…

It's hard to believe that it's a legitimate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, Ji Nanbei had previously obtained a bee-attracting and butterfly-attracting pendant, which seemed to originate from the same source.

Goodness, they even released a set.

"That 'Bees Attract Butterflies' technique seems rather improper. My master was influenced by it back then, but the influence didn't seem to be too deep... After all, it's a decent cultivation artifact. Never mind, let's take a look at this treasure robe first."

Take out the flowery dress that attracts bees and butterflies from the system space.

As soon as Ji Nanbei unfolded the book, he felt numb.

It was a short robe similar to a trench coat. Ji Nanbei couldn't tell what kind of material it was, but it felt smooth and had a beautiful sheen, so it was obviously made of top-quality material.

Butterfly wings fluttered on the cuffs, and numerous stars were embroidered on the back, so real and dazzling.

The main color is dark red, but it is complemented by several other colors.

It's really beautiful.

But it's flashy, and really flashy.

It's that kind of flashy, socially conscious kind of thing.

Breathtaking!

Holding this flowery dress that attracts bees and butterflies, Ji Nanbei's mentality began to crumble.

He wanted a protective garment that could provide basic defense.

But... this is just too outrageous!

Just as Ji Nanbei was sighing, the door to the room was pushed open.

Without a second thought, Ji Nanbei hid the extremely flashy dress.

Lin Mengxi walked in and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, there's a party in Jumo City tonight, with lots of stalls. I heard many people from the three sects are outside. It's a warm-up for tomorrow's Demonic Path Competition. How about we go check if there are any pretty demonic enchantresses?"

Ji Nanbei rubbed his forehead.

Seriously, there are so many things to complain about.

There were so many things to complain about that even Ji Nanbei, who doesn't usually criticize his senior sister, couldn't help but speak up.
