She was fair-skinned and delicate.

Encased in hard, cold jewels, he could even imagine how soft they must feel!

Outside the golden cage, a path paved with gold, spirit stones, and shattered jade, the soul leaped and twirled barefoot above. Its toes were taut in an arc, its soles cut by the jade fragments, and even each toe was so endearing…

In the original story, Shang Yanting's eyes reddened, his throat began to dry, his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly, and large dragon scales uncontrollably appeared behind his ears!

"Filthy magic!"

In the original story, Shang Yanting couldn't help but shatter the illusion before him with a single palm strike. The mind-stirring phantom vanished, and a sharp, piercing laugh seemed to mock him, causing him a splitting headache and driving him to the brink of madness.

"Small businessman?"

Jia Xitong, sitting next to him, was startled by his sword-wielding movements in his dream and quickly woke him up when she heard his painful screams.

Are you alright?

What's wrong with your head? Does it hurt a lot?

Jia Xitong hugged the arm that was patting his head and channeled spiritual energy into him to make him feel a little better.

However, Xiao Shang, regaining her senses, shoved her away as if she were poison, saying, "Stay away from me!"

Jia Xitong fell backward and landed on her bottom.

She looked at Shang Yanting in the original work with a blank expression. She and the host had also been ambushed by Ji Zha before, but they hadn't reacted as strongly as he had.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I told you, don't come any closer!"

In just two hours, Jia Xitong had no idea how she had suddenly transformed into a monstrous beast.

She stood there, staring blankly at him, showing none of the allure she had displayed in the illusion. But the fact remained: she had almost caused him to be ambushed by the remnant soul of the Flood Dragon Clan!

A dream caused Shang Yanting's attitude towards her to change dramatically.

From now on, stay as far away from him as possible.

From now on, I can't look at him.

From this moment on, no talking is allowed...

Anyway, according to Shang Yanting's requirements in the original novel, Jia Xitong is now practically invisible.

Moreover, in the original story, Xiao Shang now throws a tantrum at the slightest disagreement, and won't say what happened when asked. Giving him chicken soup is also useless.

This is really torturous.

What a naughty child...

Jia Xitong doubted the significance of her visit more than once, and her feelings of goodwill and pity for Xiao Shang dropped from 90 to 59!

I didn't provoke him, so why should I take it out on him?

I haven't harmed him, so why should I stay away from him?

She fed him well every day, making sure he was well-fed and satisfied.

Take him everywhere to search for treasure;

He was cared for in every way;

Why does he treat himself like this?

He went too far!

Even a clay figure has some backbone, let alone Jia Xitong, who is a precious little darling cherished by her host.

Jia Xitong got angry and simply stopped talking to him.

The two barely spoke to each other for the next few days.

The only communication they had was that Jia Xitong, out of consideration for her husband, told him where the important treasure was. All of this was because of her husband!

Then, when the time came, Jia Xitong ran away without leaving a single word.

The valley, usually quiet, seemed no different from usual without her. However, in the original story, Shang Yanting noticed her disappearance in an instant.

He paused his meditation on the sword intent on the vigorous stone, turned to look at the now empty grass, and pursed his lips slightly.

After a while, he picked up his longsword again and slashed at the volcanic stone. As if venting his anger, each attack was more powerful than the last.

##

On the other side.

Xianlong Peak.

Jia Xitong sulked for half a month in the original world, but when she returned home, she felt that even the air was sweeter than in the original world.

She took a deep breath, letting out all the pent-up anger she'd accumulated in the original world. The original Xiao Shang was an idiot; if she continued to meddle with that idiot, she'd be the biggest idiot herself!

ah!

She's so angry!

"woke up."

A sudden sound from the side startled Jia Xitong, who was breathing heavily.

She turned around and looked at Shang Yanting, whose features were similar yet completely different, and lunged at him.

"Ugh—you're so annoying!"

She lay on top of Shang Yanting, slapping him repeatedly with both hands to vent the anger she had suffered at the hands of the original author, Xiao Shang.

Shang Yanting let her lie on top of him, patting and making a fuss like a naughty child, and reached out to hug her waist to prevent her from rolling off the bed.

It took Jia Xitong quite a while to finally finish catching her breath.

Then she sat up and threw herself at Shang Yanting, exclaiming, "Honey, host! I missed you so much!"

One minute I think about it, the next I hate it.

"You've been cultivating for half a month, who offended you?"

Emotions are so complex.

Shang Yanting touched her face, then looked at her and probed her with his spiritual energy. Finding that her spiritual energy was normal, he was slightly relieved.

But the dragon horns have cracked again?

With a wave of his hand, the pair of dragon horns that Jia Xitong had hidden parted, revealing no obvious cracks. Perhaps Karl would have to take another look at them.

As for hating him to death...

"Are you still angry because I fed you the Primordial Taiyi Pill in the Tianyuan Hall?"

After much thought, Shang Yanting realized that this was probably the only answer. Thinking of Bai Yu Zhenjun, who had deliberately acted arrogantly based on his appearance in the main hall that day, he frowned slightly.

He's only a little over three hundred years old. What kind of seniority does he have among a group of old people who are at least five or six hundred years old, and at most a thousand years old?

"If you enjoy talking with respected and knowledgeable elders, I have recently met a few truly distinguished seniors."

Shang Yanting said slowly, "If you want to chat with these senior figures, I can invite them over and let them stay at Xianlong Peak for a while."

What defines a true senior figure?

That makes it sound like the True Lord Baiyu is being improper.

Jia Xitong, considering that she hadn't seen him in a long time and that absence makes the heart grow fonder, decided not to hold it against him.

"By the way, how are your discussions about demonic cultivators going?"

When the topic of that meeting came up, she asked with some curiosity.

After all, he had attended the conference, but because Shang Yanting was impulsive, he ended up attending for nothing.

During the few days that Jia Xitong was cultivating, Shang Yanting did a lot!

He then picked out the most important things and told her, "We have already dispatched advance cultivators to survey the situation in the demonic cultivators' territory. In addition, the entire continent has begun searching for the demon lord, the Son of Annihilation."

"Our martial arts cultivation base is so large, it won't be easy to find someone."

Jia Xitong really wanted to ask which unlucky person had accepted such a difficult task. But then Shang Yanting suddenly said, "Actually, it's not so bad."

He looked at Jia Xitong, who had an incredulous expression, and rubbed her head. "Before Jimie died, his child had already been born. This means that Jimie's son is now over nine hundred years old."

This one piece of information alone is enough to eliminate many people.
