40: Ji Bin made a move

【Seventh Month】

【With spring in full bloom, you specifically invited Liu Caiping for an outing outside of town.】

【As the stream gurgled and willow branches swayed, you deliberately led her to a conspicuous spot.】

【"Be careful!" Seeing her step on moss, you wrapped your arm around her slender waist. The scent of the young woman's body, mixed with the smell of grass, assailed you.】

【At the same time, out of the corner of your eye, you glimpsed Ji Bin in the woods, trembling with rage, almost crushing the tree trunk.】

【You seized the opportunity to loudly recite: "Green mountains piled high, water holding mist, meeting outside the world is fate. I wish to share life and death with you, our entanglement carved on the Three-Life Stone."】

【Liu Caiping looked at you with complex emotions, touched yet helpless.】

【You feigned concern: "Caiping, what's wrong?"】

【She shook her head: "Nothing."】

【Suddenly, Ji Bin rushed out, pointing his sword at you: "Qin Chen! Stay away from Caiping from now on!"】

【You immediately put on an act, trembling and hiding behind Liu Caiping: "Brother Ji... what are you doing?"】

【Liu Caiping angrily rebuked: "Ji Bin! What madness is this?"】

【Ji Bin's eyes were red: "We've known each other for so many years, why did you fall for this good-for-nothing?"】

【"Don't forget your identity! It's impossible for you two!" he roared.】

【"Get lost!" Liu Caiping coldly snapped.】

【Ji Bin glared at you fiercely: "Qin Chen, you just wait!"】

【Watching his retreating, disheveled figure, your heart bloomed with laughter—unrequited love is like constipation; you try hard for a long time, and all you get is a fart.】

【Good thing I acted fast!】

【You couldn't help but recall your previous life—staying up all night to write a love letter to your goddess, only for her to stay up all night helping someone else kill.】

【Having learned from your past life's lesson, in this life, you became a good-for-nothing, only engaging with women physically, not emotionally.】

【You took the opportunity to lean on Liu Caiping's shoulder, feigning tears: "Is it wrong to like someone?"】

【Her body stiffened, and she gently patted your back: "No, it's not wrong... but how many people in this world can truly be free of worries?"】

【"If we cannot be together forever, what is there to fear in death?" you said with a serious expression.】

【She caressed your face, smiling bitterly: "If we can't be together... promise me you'll live well."】

【You understood—she only wanted to seize the day, not pursue eternity.】

【Perhaps there was a difference between immortals and mortals, and she was not her own master.】

【You joked to lighten the mood: "I'll make a note of this—on a certain year, month, and day, Fairy Liu touched my face, then didn't take responsibility, and even made me a cuckold for ten thousand years."】

【"Pfft!" She suddenly lifted your chin and kissed you directly—】

【Her sweet saliva mingled with her body fragrance... but what you were thinking was—entering the game with my body, it finally worked!】

【It wasn't until sunset that you reluctantly parted ways.】

【Eighth Month】

【You have completely figured out Liu Caiping's personality—cold as frost on the outside, passionate as fire on the inside.】

【She was like a wild cat burdened by invisible shackles, wanting to indulge but not daring to.】

【This type of girl loves novelty and excitement.】

【You felt it was time for the next step.】

【You took her to the bustling Nanjiang City.】

【After playing there for a few days, she was as happy as a child.】

【Nanjiang City had everything, even a branch of the capital's famous Wangyue Tower.】

【In a private room on the top floor of Wangyue Tower—you sat close together, with the entire city visible below.】

【Suddenly—Long Qi arrived with two guards.】

【This was all part of your plan—Long Qi was a notorious good-for-nothing in Nanjiang City, because he was the son of Long Yucheng, the leader of the Nine Dragons Gang in Nanjiang City.】

【The moment Long Qi saw Liu Caiping, his eyes went wide: "How should I address this Fairy?"】

【You immediately put your arm around Liu Caiping: "This is my wife!"】

【Liu Caiping's lips curled slightly upon hearing this address.】

【"Oh, a married woman!" Long Qi licked his lips, even more excited.】

【You gently said to Liu Caiping: "Wife, let's go."】

【As she stood up, Long Qi reached out to grab her—】

【Liu Caiping deftly dodged and tripped him with her foot.】

【"Bang!" Long Qi fell flat on his face.】

【Long Qi got up, wiping his nosebleed, and yelled at the guards: "Hold her down for me!"】

【You kicked both guards away—after all, you were now at the Perfected Innate Realm.】

【Seeing that he couldn't win, Long Qi jumped out the window to escape, not forgetting to leave a threat: "Don't you dare run!"】

【As soon as you left the city, you were blocked by Long Yucheng and his men.】

【Long Qi shouted from behind: "Dad, it's this kid!"】

【Just as they were about to fight—Ji Bin suddenly arrived on his Flying Sword!】

【With a wave of his hand, the Flying Swords whizzed a few times, and all those people were pierced through.】

【Long Yucheng was so frightened that he quickly activated his True Qi shield, but the Flying Sword treated it as if it were nothing, directly piercing through his chest.】

【Long Qi's legs trembled with fear, and before he could even beg for mercy, he was pierced through the chest by a sword.】

【After Ji Bin landed, he casually threw a few fireballs, burning the bodies clean.】

【Liu Caiping's face turned ugly: "Are you crazy? Why did you expose yourself!"】

【Ji Bin looked at you with a sinister smile: "Family rules, those who know die. Will you do it yourself, or shall I?"】

【You secretly rejoiced: Finally, you forced Liu Caiping to reveal her true identity!】

【You feigned a dumbfounded expression, slowly moving behind Liu Caiping: "Wife, this is...?"】

【The moment the word 'wife' left your mouth, Ji Bin instantly exploded in anger, and his Flying Sword shot towards you with a 'swish'.】

【In a flash of lightning, a cold light flew out from Liu Caiping's sleeve—】

【"Clang!" The two swords collided, sparks flying.】

【The next second, your collar tightened, and Liu Caiping lifted you onto her Flying Sword, then "whoosh" you transformed into a shooting star and flew away.】

【Ji Bin didn't pursue, but when you looked back, you could still see his figure, eyes blazing with fire.】

【Ninth Month】

【You two hid and ran, finally arriving at the Imperial Capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.】

【After buying a small courtyard in the city's outskirts, you began a life of seclusion.】

【Liu Caiping also mysteriously tinkered with some Formations in the courtyard that you couldn't understand.】

【One night, you were watching the stars in the courtyard.】

【"Wife, we're already sleeping in the same bed, is there anything we can't talk about?" You deliberately leaned your face closer.】

【Liu Caiping didn't reply. A blue glowing stone suddenly appeared in her palm: "Put your hand on it."】

【You nervously pressed your hand onto it—the stone showed no reaction.】

【"This is called a spirit testing stone," she sighed. "You don't have a Spiritual Root, so you can't Cultivate Immortals."】

【Your heart sank: "Then my whole life..."】

【"Practicing martial arts is also an option," she said with a solemn expression. "Reaching the Heavenly Human Realm can grant you a lifespan of..."】

【Mid-sentence, she suddenly faltered.】

【Though she didn't say it, you understood: with the Yao Beast invasion, where would the five hundred years come from?】

【"Is there really no other way?" You didn't give up.】

【"There is, but..." she hesitated,】

【"Taking a spirit awakening pill can forcibly Awaken a Spiritual Root, but that thing is even more useless than a pseudo Spiritual Root; the Cultivation speed is like a snail's crawl."】

【"Furthermore, with a limited lifespan, one probably won't be able to reach Foundation Establishment in their entire life."】

【"If you ask me, you'd be better off focusing on martial arts. Reaching the Grandmaster Realm is comparable to a Qi Refining Cultivator..."】

【After listening to her explanation, you finally understood.】

【The Grandmaster Realm is equivalent to the Qi Refinement Stage.】

【A Great Grandmaster can rival a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.】

【If one can Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, their strength is comparable to a Golden Core Great Cultivator.】

【You guessed—the child from the last simulation was at least a Nascent Soul old monster!】
