Chu Feng saw Senior Sister Yuyan get up and walk to the door. Then, a man’s voice came from outside. But before the man could finish speaking…a miserable scream suddenly rang out.
Chu Feng stared in shock at the floor near the door, where a few drops of bright red blood had splattered.
Bang!
The door was shut, and Bai Yuyan returned to sit beside Chu Feng with a gentle smile on her face.
“All done. That annoying thing is gone. Junior brother, what other dishes would you like to eat?”
“Gone”… She couldn’t possibly mean permanently, right?
Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, then still asked, “Senior Sister Yuyan, that person just now…”
“Hmm? Person? What are you talking about, junior brother? There wasn’t anyone just now.”
Bai Yuyan said with a smile.
“But just now, I clearly heard—”
“There was only a dog barking. No person, right, junior brother?”
Bai Yuyan said with a radiant smile.
“Haha… Maybe I heard wrong.”
Chu Feng let out an awkward laugh and picked up the teacup beside him. Though his hand was trembling slightly.
Let’s hope Senior Sister Yuyan isn’t a yandere… otherwise, I might end up like Makoto.
(TN: Makoto from school days.)
After finishing the meal, Bai Yuyan waved her slender hand, and crimson flames instantly incinerated all the dishes.
Good grief, now she didn’t even need to wash them. Just straight-up cremated.
Bai Yuyan sensed the abundant true qi and aura flowing within Chu Feng’s body. He had a cultivation at peak First Rank. Then she said, “Junior brother, you’re about to break through to the Second Rank soon. When that happens, remember to come find your senior sister, okay~?”
As she said this, a faint blush appeared on Bai Yuyan’s cheeks.
Finally, the day had come. Hmph. With junior brother’s Yin-Yang spiritual root, it was almost impossible for him to break through on his own.
When the time came, she and junior brother would…
Oh my! On that day, she’d have to wear the outfit junior brother liked the most~
“Senior Sister Yuyan, actually, it’s okay. I think I can manage on my own.”
After all, last time…no, the time before that, his master had personally guided him in breaking through a realm. This time, Chu Feng figured he should be able to do it alone.
“What are you saying, junior brother?” Bai Yuyan rolled her eyes at him, then said, “You have a Yin-Yang spiritual root. If you try to break through on your own, it could cause an imbalance between Yin and Yang energies. The consequences would be very serious!”
Bai Yuyan was determined to claim her junior brother early to establish her place in the order of things. When the time came….hmph, even their master would have to call her “big sister”.
“Junior brother, you absolutely must not break through on your own. And besides, your senior sister is doing this willingly.”
After saying that, Bai Yuyan’s face flushed completely red. It was a stunning sight.
“Ugh…”
Hearing Bai Yuyan’s declaration, Chu Feng slowly closed his gaping mouth.
Just the ambiguous relationship between himself and his master was already giving him a headache. If Senior Sister Yuyan got involved too… it would definitely become a full-blown romantic war zone!
Although the doctor once told him his stomach was weak and he should stick to eating “soft rice”, now that the opportunity had really come, he realized these days, even eating soft rice takes serious skills.
(TN: eating soft rice means being supported by women.)
To live off women, you had to either be a master of time management, the reincarnation of a love god, or someone who could reach into the depths of a lonely heart.
Haaah… How he envied those “dragon-protagonists”. With one shake of their majestic bodies, enemies from all directions would bow in submission. Their harems would be filled with laughter and joy, with beautiful women getting along peacefully.
But if Chu Feng tried shaking his “tiger body”, not only would it fail to intimidate his master or Senior Sister Yuyan, there was a good chance their eyes would just turn into hearts, calling him “so cute” with every breath.

Somewhere within the spirit boat, Lin Ruo sat cross-legged. He was focusing on cultivating his body to keep it in peak condition at all times.
This time, in the martial tournament of the Great Yan, he had to take first place among the first-rank cultivators!
The Marrow-Cleansing Pill…it was simply too tempting. His spiritual root had yet to fully recover, but as long as he consumed that pill, it would undoubtedly return to its original state. No, he might even surpass his previous potential!
Right now, he had lost both his strongest offensive and defensive artifacts. But that was fine. He still had one amplifying treasure, something he had discovered in the cave dwelling of a deceased eighth-rank senior.
With that treasure, he could fight not just second-rank opponents. Even those at the third rank wouldn’t be out of reach.
The Marrow-Cleansing Pill will be mine. Lin Ruo’s!
He He He!

The spirit boat wasn’t particularly fast. At this rate, it would take another day to reach the imperial capital of the Great Yan.
On board the boat, many disciples were growing restless. After all, this was a golden opportunity to make a name for themselves!
These days, the demonic path had all but vanished, and both the demon race and the human race were exercising restraint. Though minor conflicts still occurred, no large-scale wars had broken out.
In such times, the martial tournament held by the Great Yan was a rare chance for cultivators to make a name for themselves across the entire cultivation world.
The Great Yan, being one of the top forces in the cultivation world, had invited six major sects to participate. Sect giants on the level of the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect!
Aside from the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, the Great Yan had even offered something more astonishing. A chance to undergo the Dragon Vein Baptism, with the Empress herself personally selecting the candidate from among the victors.
This announcement only made the genius disciples from every faction even more eager to compete.
Chu Feng looked down at the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect Daily in his hands and a spark of curiosity rose in his heart about this Empress of the Great Yan.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, why is the Great Yan’s Empress hosting this tournament?”
Chu Feng looked up and asked.
Not far away, Bai Yuyan’s delicate body trembled slightly. Neither she nor their master had told Chu Feng the truth. The Empress of the Great Yan had personally and explicitly requested to meet him.
“Junior Brother, are you interested in the Great Yan’s Empress?”
“I’m just a little curious, that’s all.”
Chu Feng glanced over the article analyzing the reasons behind the Great Yan Empress’s decision to host the tournament. The theories were all over the place—each with its own explanation, none conclusive.
When Bai Yuyan heard Chu Feng’s question, a sudden sense of crisis surged within her. She distinctly remembered her junior brother once saying in his past life: Curiosity is the first step toward falling for someone.
“This, uh… maybe it was just a sudden whim from the Empress. Right! Junior Brother, this Empress of the Great Yan. She’s a tyrant!”
Bai Yuyan hurriedly tried to plant a bad impression of the Empress in Chu Feng’s mind.
Otherwise, with how much her junior brother liked mature women, the moment he laid eyes on that woman, he’d absolutely be drawn in!
“A tyrant?”
Chu Feng scanned the Cultivation Daily again, left to right, top to bottom….but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find the word “tyrant” anywhere.
Instead, there were pages full of praise for the Empress’s beauty, each line lifting her image higher and higher, stirring his curiosity even more.
He wondered… how would the Empress of the Great Yan compare to his master?
“Hmph. Anyway, Junior Brother, Senior Sister would never lie to you. If you do end up meeting the Empress, you’d better keep a low profile. Otherwise, you’ll be eaten alive, not even a scrap of you left!”
Bai Yuyan warned, but then suddenly recalled that there was also a certain fox queen from the fox clan eyeing him hungrily. Ugh! Why were all these older women showing up to compete with her for her junior brother!?
However, the one Bai Yuyan remained most wary of… was still the Saintess of the Holy Land of Yaochi. In their past life, she had drunk the first soup from her junior brother and she never missed a chance to bring it up in front of Bai Yuyan.
Hmph! In our past life, she may have gotten the first taste… but in this life, that first taste will belong to me, Bai Yuyan!
Thinking of this, Bai Yuyan couldn’t help but let out a proud little snort.
Seeing his Senior Sister Yuyan in such a cheerful mood, Chu Feng scratched his head. As expected, women were impossible to understand.
