He turned his head slightly and looked to his side.
There, a woman dressed in white, with an unparalleled beauty, lay quietly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings, as if still savoring the events of the previous night that had overturned her decades of cold and aloof understanding of cultivation.
She was no longer simply the secondary body of Yuechan, nor was she the high and mighty main body whose will was ultimately suppressed and erased.
She is... Qingyi.
A brand new being "created" by Shi Hao himself, which combines the essence of both, but is dominated by kindness and pure consciousness.
At this moment, the usual coldness and aloofness on her face had faded, and the humiliation and confusion she had felt were washed away.
Instead, there is a fresh and refined beauty, like a lotus after the rain, with a touch of languor and shyness after cultivation, so beautiful it makes one's heart flutter.
Seemingly sensing Shi Hao's gaze, Qingyi's long eyelashes trembled even more violently.
She slowly opened her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, and met Shi Hao's gentle, smiling gaze.
boom!
Last night's embarrassing memories flooded back like a tidal wave!
Qingyi felt her pretty face suddenly become burning hot, as if it were being scorched by flames!
"Ah!" she exclaimed softly, instinctively pulling up the thin animal skin blanket to cover her beautiful body completely, leaving only her large, watery eyes, filled with shyness and a hint of panic, pouting at Shi Hao. "You... what are you looking at?! No... don't look!"
Her infinitely shy demeanor completely betrayed any trace of the aloofness of the former Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect. She was clearly a shy and coquettish little woman who had just tasted the forbidden fruit.
Looking at her adorable appearance, Shi Hao's heart softened. He couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss her smooth, full forehead, softly laughing, "Okay, I won't look, I won't look. My Fairy Qingyi, are you awake?"
"Hmph! Who...who is yours..." Qingyi blushed even more at his intimate gestures and address, her heart pounding like a deer. She couldn't say anything more and could only bury her face in the quilt, whimpering in protest.
Seeing her adorable reaction, Shi Hao was in a great mood and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The two played around for a while longer, and then practiced their cultivation again before Shi Hao finally got up and dressed, feeling refreshed.
Inside the blankets, Qingyi's pretty face remained flushed. She dared not come out, but secretly peered through the gaps in the blankets at Shi Hao's tall, strong, and powerful back. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with complex emotions that were hard to describe.
This guy... although he can be really bad at times, like a little thug, but... he also seems... kind of reassuring?
……
When Shi Hao finally "persuaded" the still shy Fairy Qingyi, and the two tidied their clothes and walked out of the stone house, the witch who had been waiting in the courtyard immediately cast a teasing and amused look at them.
She leaned lazily against the peach tree by the door, toying with a delicate peach blossom in her hand.
Seeing the two of them come out, especially seeing Qingyi's pretty face, which, although she tried to remain calm, still couldn't hide her shy blush, and the lingering, languid charm unique to women between her brows.
The witch's alluring peach blossom eyes lit up instantly!
"Oh~" she drawled, her voice full of teasing, "Our bride and groom, you've finally decided to come out? The sun's practically high in the sky!"
"I thought... you were planning to stay inside for ten days or half a month to have a proper 'in-depth exchange'?"
The witch's words were full of ambiguous hints, causing Fairy Qingyi, who had just mustered the courage to step out of the room, to blush and turn hot again!
"What...what nonsense are you spouting?!" She was both ashamed and angry, pointing at the witch, her voice trembling!
That vixen! She's absolutely despicable!
Shi Hao blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. He quickly coughed twice, trying to change the subject: "Ahem! Sister Witch, don't joke around so early in the morning."
"A joke?" The witch blinked her innocent-looking eyes, then turned her gaze to Qingyi, looking him up and down before clicking her tongue in amazement. "But... little brother, your 'methods' are truly amazing! In just one night, you've actually managed to transform this high and mighty Moon Fairy...?"
She could clearly sense that although Qingyi still retained the aura and appearance of Yuechan, her inner soul and will had undergone earth-shattering changes!
No longer the coldness and arrogance of before, but with a touch of gentleness and purity belonging to the secondary body, and even a faint trace of... dependence on Shi Hao?
"I didn't expect you two to actually merge, and with the secondary body's consciousness taking the lead?" Curiosity gleamed in the witch's eyes. "It seems... the effect is quite good, Sister Yuechan?"
She still habitually calls him "Yuechan".
However, this time, Qingyi was neither angry nor indifferent as before.
She took a deep breath, seemingly having finally mustered her courage, and raised her beautiful face—still flushed but filled with a resolute spirit—to meet the witch's gaze. She spoke clearly, word by word:
"From this day forward, there will be no more Yuechan in the world."
"Please call me—371—72 Qingyi!"
Although her voice was still clear and cold, it carried an undeniable determination, as if she were announcing her rebirth to the whole world!
“Qingyi?” The witch was slightly taken aback when she heard the name, and then her charming peach blossom eyes curved into crescents again. “Hehehe… What a name! What a name! Clear as water, with ripples gently spreading, it does match your current… well, ‘pure and flawless’ appearance.”
··Requesting flowers·····
Although she still spoke with a hint of teasing, there was a subtle but serious look in her eyes as she looked at Qingyi.
It seems that this former mortal enemy has truly... changed.
The three chatted casually for a few more minutes, mainly about the witch teasing Shi Hao and Qing Yi, which made Qing Yi feel extremely embarrassed and indignant, while Shi Hao had no choice but to deal with it.
It was in this atmosphere filled with playful banter and ambiguity that they met.
suddenly!
Ding Dong!
A crisp and pleasant notification sound rang out unexpectedly deep in Shi Hao's mind!
Shi Hao was slightly taken aback.
A chat group?!
Since the last interaction with the ruthless empress and other goddesses, the chat group seemed to have fallen silent again. I didn't expect it to be active again today.
He subconsciously sank his thoughts into his mind.
On the familiar, brightly lit chat group interface, a brand new system notification suddenly popped up!
[Ding! Group system notification!]
[Increased interaction activity detected in this group, and a significant increase in the strength of an existing member (the Desolate Emperor), meeting the conditions for group chat advancement and expansion!]
To promote harmony and mutual assistance across all realms and enhance exchanges and interactions between different civilizations, the system will randomly invite another new member to the group!
[Randomly selecting potential newcomers who meet the criteria... Screening complete!]
[Ding! Newcomer [Tu Shan, Under My Protection] has joined the Goddesses of the Heavens Mutual Aid Chat Group!]
..................
Tushan? Under my protection?!
Upon seeing this extremely familiar, yet domineering, or rather, chuunibyou-ish name, Shi Hao's lips twitched slightly!
This...this familiar taste!
If he remembered correctly, the owner of this title should be...
In the world of "Fox Spirit Matchmaker," there is the Tu Shan King, Tu Shan Hong Hong, who possesses unparalleled demonic power yet is extremely protective and arrogant!
Moreover, judging from this timeline... it seems to be when she was a child?
The little fox demon who is known as the "strongest fighter in Tushan" but whose heart is filled with confusion and struggle?
"Holy crap! It really is her?!" Shi Hao was both surprised and delighted!
Surprisingly, another heavyweight figure was actually brought into the chat group! And from a completely different anime/manga fandom!
The good news is that this future Demon King of Tushan was incredibly cute and cuddly as a child! I just wonder... if she likes drinking animal milk?
Ahem, it seems I've gotten the wrong idea again...
Just as various thoughts were churning in Shi Hao's mind.
The chat group instantly became lively again after the addition of this "overbearing" newcomer!
The first one to chime in was, as always, Huang Rong, the group's "atmosphere maker" and "social butterfly"!
[Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong]: "(Sprinkling flowers) Wow! Another newcomer! Welcome, welcome! A warm welcome!"
【Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong】: "Huh? 【Tushan, under my protection】? This name... is so... so domineering! It sounds like a big sister! This sister must be very powerful, right?"
Following closely behind was Yan Lingji, who was equally eager to stir up trouble.
【Baiyue-Yan Lingji】: "Hehehe~ Another little sister has arrived? 'Tushan, I've got your back'? That's quite a boast~ I wonder if this older sister is pretty? Is she as domineering as her name suggests?"
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "(Clenched hands emoji) Welcome new fellow Daoist to the group. Tushan seems to be a holy land of some demon race? Fellow Daoist's name is so extraordinary, your cultivation must be astonishing."
Yun Yun remained composed, but a hint of curiosity was also evident in her tone.
[Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi]: "Welcome."
Lu Xueqi's words were concise and to the point, her aloofness remaining unchanged.
[The cold and aloof Queen Medusa]: "Tushan? The fox demon clan? Hmph, I'd like to see what makes you think you can 'protect' them!"
Queen Medusa seemed somewhat sensitive to the identity of the "demon race," her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny and provocation.
[The quick-witted Feng Baobao]: "Oh, another newcomer. (Picking her nose emoji) Her name is so long, shall we call her Sister Zhao from now on?"
Bao'er's thought process is always so unique...
Even the ruthless empress, who had been lurking in the shadows and silently comprehending the Samsara Wheel, seemed to have been drawn to this newcomer's "unique" name and made a rare appearance.
[Ruthless Empress]: "..."
Although it's just an ellipsis, it's enough to show that this big shot is also keeping an eye on things quietly.
The goddesses in the group were filled with unprecedented curiosity and anticipation for this newcomer, whose title was extremely "domineering" and who was "Tu Shan, I've Got You Covered"!
However, the group members' enthusiastic welcome and various speculations were met with resistance.
The newly joined member, however, has yet to respond.
A brief silence fell over the chat group.
Could it be... that this newcomer isn't online? Or... that they disdain to pay them any attention? (Mountain)
