118: Chapter 118 Shocking Change

[Time passed bit by bit.]

[Dantai Yanya watched helplessly as the spy she had carefully arranged slung an arm around her elder brother's shoulders, acting like brothers.]

[The two drank all the way from discussing cultivation to what kind of girls they each preferred...]

[Your eyes were hazy with drunkenness, but your consciousness remained completely clear.]

[As for suppressing spiritual energy while drinking?]

[Apologies, but I am a body cultivator as well.]

[Although Tantai Jin was already on the verge of Core Formation, as long as he hadn't crossed that threshold, his pure physical constitution couldn't compare to yours at all.]

[Then, the two of you staggered to your feet arm in arm. Just as Dantai Yanya was about to step forward to support him, you pushed her away as if unconsciously.]

["Go 'way, I wanna switch to another place to drink with him~!"]

[Dantai Yanya was just about to say something when she was interrupted by a voice in her mind.]

["You fool, why don't you just matchmake them directly?"]

[Hearing this, Dantai Yanya's eyes lit up. She was very clever—otherwise she wouldn't have been able to scheme against an old fox like the Moon God.]

[However, she was extremely dull when it came to matters of romance between men and women. At this moment, she finally had an epiphany.]

[If you knew what had happened, you would definitely say to her face:]

[Thank you, Moon God, for delivering such a powerful assist!]

[Dantai Yanya smiled wickedly as she led the two semi-conscious people into the bedroom. Only after closing the door did she walk out with a look of utter self-satisfaction.]

[Only then did you slowly open your eyes. Looking at her departing back, you turned over, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.]

[When Tantai Jin woke up, he immediately realized something was wrong; a strange, delicate fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.]

[A faint, pleasant scent filled his nose. He slowly opened his eyes, and what met his sight was a fluffy, furry head.]

[Surprisingly, there was no feeling of repulsion in his heart.]

["Mm~"]

[A soft, charmingly playful hum sounded. You slowly lifted your head, your watery eyes bumping straight into the man's gaze.]

[In the next moment, a flush rapidly crawled across your face, spreading all the way down to your neck.]

["Ah..."]

[Just as you were about to cry out in alarm, Tantai Jin swiftly covered your red lips with sharp eyes and quick hands.]

[You blinked your eyes, which were filled with embarrassment, anger, and panic.]

["This..."]

[Even someone as calm as Tantai Jin was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to explain the situation before them.]

[After a long pause, he suddenly squeezed out a sentence:]

["I will take responsibility."]

[Seeing the love threads slowly wafting out from him, you almost burst out laughing on the spot, and your struggling strength gradually weakened.]

[This battle, which should have been the toughest, was won by you in the easiest manner possible.]

[After a long silence, the two of you finally sat across from each other at the table.]

["Nothing happened last night; you don't need to take responsibility for me."]

[Your expression was calm, your tone as tranquil as unruffled water.]

[Yet it was precisely this nonchalant appearance of yours that felt like a fine thorn, poking an indescribable, strange irritation into Tantai Jin's heart.]

[You were the most unique woman he had ever seen in his life. Even though he had been hazy with alcohol last night, the unpretentious boldness and free-spirited nature you displayed while drinking with him had long left a deep mark in his heart.]

["Then we..."]

[After a moment, Tantai Jin asked as if casually.]

[You thought for a moment and nodded at him with quite a bit of appreciation:]

["We can be confidants."]

[You were very satisfied with the period of time that followed.]

[For a cold person like Tantai Jin, if you didn't find the right entry point, you probably wouldn't be able to stir a single bit of his emotion in a lifetime.]

[But once a crack appeared, those emotions would pour out like a surging tide.]

[With a little more effort, there was a chance to break through to Dual Spiritual Roots in this simulation!]

[...]

[Five years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[On this night, after wrapping up your drinking session with Tantai Jin, you were sitting cross-legged in a spiritual pool, digesting the gains from your cultivation during this period.]

[Over the past five years, the two of you didn't go to Xuanding Pavilion. Instead, you roamed the outside world together.]

[You had no objections either; after all, Tantai Jin's luck was truly heaven-defying, as he could often rely on intuition to discover hidden treasure troves and secret realms.]

[Sometimes you even wondered whether this guy was a son of luck as well.]

[But during these five years of staying together day and night, you didn't notice anything abnormal about him.]

[Dantai Yanya had left five years ago. Her situation was truly strange, and you weren't willing to spend a long time with her. Although your mission wasn't considered complete, she still told you a big secret before leaving.]

[The turmoil near Jiushuang Plain last time was caused by the Moon God, a prodigy from ten thousand years ago belonging to Tingxue Divine Pavilion.]

[Having already anticipated this, you weren't surprised.]

[As for Zhou Xiaonuan... she probably got lost.]

[Three years ago, during an exploration of a secret realm, she was lured away by something, and once she went, she never came back.]

[But it didn't matter. You seemed to have a premonition that your lifespan limit would likely arrive within these few years.]

[Just as you were pleasantly planning your future, a biting killing intent suddenly locked onto you.]

[You snapped your eyes open, only to see that the intruder was none other than Tantai Jin. His gaze at this moment was extremely unfamiliar, as if looking at an enemy who had killed his father.]

["Enchantress!"]

[You narrowed your eyes slightly, your voice still unhurried.]

["Brother Tantai, we were just drinking and enjoying ourselves moments ago. How did you turn hostile in the blink of an eye?"]

["Shut up!"]

[A trace of struggle flashed through Tantai Jin's eyes, which quickly turned into resolute killing intent.]

[In the next instant, an incomparably sharp slash cut through the air, coming straight for your head.]

["Boom!"]

[The entire spiritual spring was completely shattered by this strike. Your figure slowly emerged dozens of feet away, looking with a sad expression at the familiar yet strange man in front of you.]

["Tantai Jin, we have at least five years of friendship. You must give me a reason for killing me."]

[Hearing this, Tantai Jin's movements paused, and he stopped his attack after all.]

[He looked at you with a complicated expression, moving his lips as if he had a thousand words stuck at his mouth, yet didn't know where to begin.]

["The way you are now... it's like you're a completely different person. Are you still Tantai Jin?"]

[You stared intently at the man whose demeanor had changed drastically, making non-stop guesses in your heart.]

[Body seizure? Clone? A substitute with the same appearance? Or could it be...]

[Now savoring the word 'enchantress' again, you carefully observed Tantai Jin's expression and saw his look of profound grief and pain.]

[Your gaze grew much deeper, becoming even more certain.]

[Rebirth!!!]
