It was late at night, and most of the people in Guyue City were asleep.

The cultivators in the Vulture Courtyard also sat down to meditate, and the entire Vulture Courtyard, like the Ancient Moon City, fell into a state of tranquility.

As the frosty moon began to set in the west, the door to Yan Hanxing's room opened silently.

It wasn't that his room was particularly well-designed, or that the alarm clock was silent; rather, he had set up multiple separate small barriers inside and outside his room, and even inside and outside the entire Vulture Courtyard.

After Yan Hanxing left the room, the door behind her closed silently.

Before coming out, he used his divine sense to scan the entire courtyard inside and out.

He was now certain that everyone, including Ji Fengyao, had either fallen asleep or entered a meditative state.

To his slight surprise, the only one who fell asleep was the little one he had his eye on, not Bai Yusu.

But considering this little guy's many habits that are different from those of ordinary cultivators...

For example, not avoiding fasting, taking frequent baths, etc., makes sleeping seem normal and not abrupt.

With a wave of his hand, Yan Hanxing sent a faint, almost invisible gray aura into the little female bandit's room. After pausing outside her room for a while, Yan Hanxing pushed open the door and slowly walked into her room. The door opened and closed silently, just like before.

He didn't turn on the light; the moonlight outside the window was bright enough for him to see everything inside the room.

Including the little female bandit who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

The room was filled with the sweet scent unique to the young female bandit, which was delightful to the senses.

Yan Hanxing paused before the young bandit's bed. His eyes, which shone like stars in the daytime, were now hidden in the shadows, as deep as an abyss.

The little bandit was a restless sleeper, clinging to a quilt like an octopus, with most of her body exposed to the cold.

Fortunately, she was a cultivator, so even when she was asleep, her spiritual energy would flow automatically within her body.

Otherwise, with that sleeping position, she would definitely catch a cold.

Yan Hanxing knew she wouldn't wake up, but she still tiptoed and gently lifted her robe before slowly sitting down, as if afraid of disturbing her peaceful dream.

The young female bandit had her back to the outside of the bed, so he could only see half of her full profile.

He was about to reach out and turn her around.

Suddenly, the little bandit girl rolled over while hugging the blanket, muttering something under her breath.

Even with Yan Hanxing's exceptional hearing, she couldn't understand what she was muttering in her sleep.

Her sweet and adorable tone, coupled with her innocent and beautiful sleeping face, was truly so cute that it melted one's heart.

“I didn’t want to verify it, but you are indeed different from her in many ways. Verifying it will put our minds at ease. If you are her, I can rightfully take you back, and you won’t have to suffer in this complicated world anymore,” Yan Hanxing said softly with great affection.

"If this thing isn't a monster, then it's definitely insane!"

"I think so too, and he's quite ill!"

Within the little bandit's consciousness, Ji Huo and Ji Fengyao appeared quiet as dogs, but in reality, they were watching the show and making sarcastic remarks together.

Yeah, they're just enjoying their own show.

Ji Fengyao was, after all, a cultivator at the Great Completion stage, so she felt a tiny bit more perceptive than Lu Yang and An Zijin.

She had already sensed something when Yan Hanxing set up multiple barriers inside and outside the Vulture Courtyard.

Later, Yan Hanxing released his divine sense and patrolled the entire Vulture Courtyard three times.

Ji Fengyao knew then that this guy was about to make a move.

That's why she pretended to be asleep so cooperatively.

As an eleventh-level alchemist, she cooperated perfectly by "falling under" the spell he cast into the room, which resembled a sedative or similar drug.
