I only want to win over the fairy.

"I was just kidding," Bai Yi continued. "Actually, I don't like sunsets at all because I don't have the extra time to stop and appreciate them, and I don't have any friends to sit down and appreciate them with. So even if I can't see them, I won't feel regretful. But in my imagination, there is a sunset."

"A sunset enjoyed with someone important to you must be the most beautiful. Unfortunately, such a scene is just a fantasy of mine."

"But if this fantasy could become a reality, I think the scenery would probably look something like this."

The afterglow of the setting sun, the vast sea of ​​clouds, and the gentle breeze are refreshing and invigorating.

Tianxuan Peak has a beautiful sunset.

His tired eyelids slowly closed. He finally couldn't resist the exhaustion of his body and mind. The questions he had been wanting to ask in his heart had been answered. The tension no longer needed to be maintained. Now he just needed to rest a little in the warm sunset.

Xiao Jinxuan looked down at Bai Yi's sleeping face, and with the smallest possible movement that wouldn't disturb his rest, she took a strand of her own hair and his hair, infused it with her spiritual power, wove it into a tassel, and tied it around Bai Yi's waist.

If that's what you expect, then we'll give you a response.

Chapter 50 You're right, the cultivation simulator is made by...

Bai Yi is a very easy-going guy.

He always manages to handle many of the big problems that trouble him.

He excels at everything from raising animals and cleaning to cooking and handling sect affairs; he's outstanding in every way, except...

I couldn't sense any attachment or affection for this world from him.

From the moment they first met, Xiao Jinxuan noticed Bai Yi, not because the place he appeared in was the Primordial Ancient Land, one of the ten most dangerous forbidden zones for life, nor because he lacked spiritual roots, but because of his panic, fear, and confusion.

The sight of someone in an unfamiliar environment with nothing to rely on resonated with her, so she approached the person and decided to bring them back to the Xuantian Sect.

At first, the other person was very excited and curious about everything in the world, but this only lasted for less than two weeks. He started to smile less and less and talk less and less.

In the end, it completely turned into a cultivator who only knew how to cultivate in seclusion in his cave, and as long as he had enough fasting pills and spirit stones, he would not take a single step out.

Seeing the other person like this, Xiao Jinxuan felt both happy and sad.

She was happy because the other person, like herself, understood that she no longer had any acquaintances in this era, and that she was all alone facing this endless world of despair.

She was sad because she saw a reflection of herself in the other person, and she didn't want him to become nothing more than a machine that only knew how to cultivate.

Perhaps, trying to deepen the other person's connection with the world would be a good idea.

She had fantasized that if she could make some changes, she might be able to find her place again in this era that didn't belong to her, but she didn't do so because she had nothing in common with the people here.

Compared to the sect elders who had revered her for nearly a hundred years, she felt that Bai Yi, whom she had only known for a very short time, was more likely to understand her.

So she tried to make Bai Yi a different person. She arranged some jobs for him, all of which were things she wanted in her fantasies but dared not ask for in reality. She hoped that he could change, and she also hoped that she could take a step to change herself.

However, to her surprise, Bai Yi did not change as expected after receiving her orders. Instead, he seemed to have received some divine revelation or a life goal, and then he became like a puppet, completing the tasks assigned to him.

When she saw Bai Yi carrying out the tasks she had been given with lifeless eyes, and greeting the other disciples in the sect with a smile, she understood that his loneliness and pain were even more severe than her own.

He had items left to him by his family, items that held his memories, but he had nothing.

Realizing this, she overheard Bai Yi saying that he liked her junior sister, so she began to look for a suitable candidate.

During this period, Bai Yi cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. In less than half a year, he went from a complete novice who knew nothing about cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining. He was undoubtedly a genius. Unfortunately, this was his limit.

At the time, she believed that Bai Yi would be utterly desperate and heartbroken because he had lost his path to immortality, and would choose to commit suicide. Therefore, she always disagreed with him going down the mountain and wanted him to stay obediently on Tianxuan Peak.

Unexpectedly, after studying a bunch of nonsensical things on his own, the child actually tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although he failed, he did break through the ninth level of Qi Refining and reached the tenth level.

To be honest, she still finds it unbelievable.

For someone without spiritual roots to cultivate is like trying to fill a basket with water—it's destined to be a waste of time. But Bai Yi managed to do just that, which almost completely overturned his own understanding.

However, he still made no progress. Just when she thought Bai Yi would suffer another setback because of this, he suddenly stopped being withdrawn and started to return to his initial cheerful state, looking like a normal person again.

This is a good sign.

Then I found him a junior sister with exceptional talent. Since I don't know how to teach, I can only entrust her to tutor him. This is also an opportunity for him to deepen his connection with the world.

Judging from the results, it was a great success.

Then, just three days ago, he told himself not to lose because he couldn't express himself, and to respond to the other person instead of doing nothing and saying nothing. This made her realize something.

Perhaps Bai Yi had long considered Tianxuan Peak as a place to stay, but he hadn't realized it or responded to it yet.

So this time she decided to respond.

So she used her own hair and Bai Yi's hair to weave a tassel as her response.

but....

I'm so nervous! After what happened, how am I supposed to talk to him now? Will keeping a stern face make him think I'm not listening to him at all?!

What if he thinks the tassels I made are rubbish and blames me for cutting his hair?

What should I say after we meet?

Good morning?

—It's already noon.

I'm relieved to see you're alright.

Is it really okay to tell someone who has just woken up that they are fine?

Do you like the tassel I gave you?

Ugh! None of them will work! There's absolutely no way you could greet someone like that!

Furthermore, the elders have been contacting me non-stop these past few days, urging me to attend the sect conference. In addition, people from other immortal sects and the Human Emperor Sect have come to visit me. What should I do?

Sigh, thankfully I took on a disciple who can help take care of Bai Yi, otherwise I would probably be even more miserable these days.

I feel so hopeless. I can't see any future in my life. I just want to stay in a hot spring forever and never have to come out.

Thinking this, Xiao Jinxuan, who was soaking in the hot spring, pulled her head, which was the only part of her body that was sticking out, back into the water and began to blow bubbles.

Glug glug, glug glug...

On the other side, Bai Yi, who had just woken up, was rubbing his still aching head. Before he could get out of bed to pour himself a glass of water, a pair of slender, delicate hands handed him a glass of water.

After drinking a glass of clear, sweet water, he immediately felt much better.

"Thank you so much, Qingyu."

The memories in his mind were like paste, some still faint impressions, but he couldn't recall them no matter what he tried, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

The memories of the White Emperor that he had read and memorized did not disappear with the loss of that power, but those that he had not read or only vaguely remembered had vanished without a trace.

As he sorted through his memories, the simulator popped up automatically, with a large "death" character prominently displayed at the top.

You are dead.

[Rating - Average.]

Please choose one of the following rewards.

【①, Low-level spirit ghost】

【②, *The Illustrated Guide to Kyushu Cuisine*】

【③, Talent: Traveler】

[Note: Your new player bonus has expired. In future settlements, ratings below Epic will no longer receive any rewards.]

[Note: This simulator requires a large amount of energy. The simulator's energy has been depleted. To continue using it in the future, each use will require 648 high-grade spirit stones.]

? ? ? ? ?

You fucking bastard!

Why would I, who have already time-traveled, still have to spend 648 yuan on this crappy game of yours?!

Is this simulator from NetEase?

It was free at first, but after playing for a while, it suddenly started charging without any warning. They even reduced my rewards. This arrogant attitude is exactly the same as that of a certain game that claims to be a shining example of domestic games!

Are you going to blatantly change the rewards I've already received and then compensate me with 98,000 low-level spirit stones?

I understand that you need energy to start a new round of simulation, but isn't it a bit much to not give rewards for ratings below epic? How am I, a noob player who relies on the guaranteed reward, supposed to survive?

Forget it, let me see how this simulation was played to be this bad.

With a thought, the simulator screen in front of him began to display what had happened, and his expression immediately fell.

[In the year 1145 of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, you persisted in your cultivation, remaining detached from worldly affairs.]

[In the year 1146 of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, you were still cultivating, detached from worldly affairs.]

In the year 1147 of the Ten Thousand Immortals Calendar, disheartened by your inability to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you secretly left the Xuan Tian Sect. Due to Xiao Jinxuan's severe injuries and the Xuan Tian Sect's heavy losses at the hands of the ancient emperor Li Yu, they paid little attention to you.

In the year 1148 of the Wanxian Calendar, you saved a young girl who had fallen off a cliff.

You wiped out a band of mountain bandits and rescued countless imprisoned civilians; you encountered a village plagued by drought, and you led them to dig wells and explore groundwater, solving the villagers' drinking water problem; you met a severely wounded cultivator by the lake, healed him, and then embarked on your journey once more.

You travel throughout Central Continent, savoring the diverse culinary cultures of each region; you journey to Flame Continent, experiencing its culinary delights; you travel to Phoenix Continent, exploring its diverse culinary cultures...

You have passed away peacefully at an advanced age.

At a glance, the AI ​​identified it as pure flying.

If you don't know how to play, just VIP me with 50 top-tier spirit stones, and I'll teach you how to play this game step by step, okay? Look at the skills you're using, it's like a carefree, parentless wind man, completely useless!

Oh no, at least the Happy Wind Man has happiness, but you're just an AI, you don't even have happiness.

At first, I thought your cultivation simulator was a completely different breed from NetEase and Tencent, but now it seems they're all cut from the same cloth, and you're just deceiving my feelings.

Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare. According to the rules of spirit stone currency, one top-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 10 high-grade spirit stones. However, while one top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten high-grade spirit stones, ten high-grade spirit stones may not be enough to exchange for one top-grade spirit stone.

If it were just 648 high-grade spirit stones, Bai Yi wouldn't think it was too expensive, but top-grade spirit stones...

Damn it! Why don't you just rob someone?!

I currently only have 1,300 top-grade spirit stones on me!

That's barely enough money for two simulations; it's like emptying my savings.

I can't gamble recklessly anymore. I have to think things through carefully, otherwise my savings will be tied up in debt before I've even had a few chances to play.

Chapter 51! His whole body was tattered and mangled.
