For some reason, Yun Shu subconsciously handed over the artifact full of blood to Bai Yunxian as she looked up at him, smiling for the last time before her body stopped moving.
"Shu’er..."
Before losing her last bit of consciousness, Yun Shu felt like someone called her name so sweetly that it could melt her heart even if she didn’t die in Xia Ruoling’s hands.
Ding!

The system screen appeared over Yun Shu’s head, but no one saw it. Only grieving over the loss of someone dear.
On the other part of the world,
A pair of eyes shot open as a girl sprang up on the bed.

"Damn it." Yun Shu’s head throbbed in pain, the screen flashing over her head put her in a bad mood.
Finally, it was over. She successfully changed another event carrying Bai Yunxian’s future.
"The status doesn’t really want to let me get some credit is it?"
This system of hers was too stingy, it didn’t do justice for all things she went through. How unfair...

"What’s the progress for this one?" Yun Shu asked casually as she rubbed her eyes.
"It’s considerably well this time, Host. You did well." Chen Yi appeared as he said with a satisfied grin.
Ding!
[Congratulations for progressing the side mission!]
[Mission : Clear the harem and Conquer the World!]
[Mission Progress : 10%]
[Comment : Please keep it up, Player!]
It was actually good, though Yun Shu didn’t understand why there was a sudden progress. As long as the bar went up, Yun Shu felt satisfied.
"What’s the matter with the mission to stop the Empire’s fall? The time went up?" Yun Shu felt puzzled by that. Since the two missions were connected to each other, wasn’t it supposed to be closed off?
"You didn’t participate in the last war of Bai Yunxian’s memory, but the war will still happen. Be prepared for this, Host. you can’t die in the war since it’s the real world, so do your best to keep alive." Chen Yi’s voice somehow felt like he was exhausted, but Yun Shu couldn’t exactly trace what it was.
"Now then, I should return to my duty, right?" Yun Shu said as she got up from her bed, ready to prepare herself and go out, fetch Bai Yunxian.
"Nine, Thirteen. Come forward and report."
"Congratulations, Master."
"You’ve reached the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor realm."
Right after Yun Shu called out, two shadows emerged from the darkness and knelt in front of her, congratulating wholeheartedly.
’Yeah, I missed these guys.’ Yun Shu smiled faintly before she turned expressionless once again.
"Prepare to go out, Xian’er is waiting for me."
"Yes, Master!"
The two people said at the same time as they heard her order, disappearing in the darkness again.
At the same time,
Bai Yunxian was going through the state of inscription to inherit the treasures in the Mount Ning, while Master Zhao Jie was watching over him.
’Why are his emotions suddenly becoming unstable? It was fine just a day before!’ Zhao Jie furrowed his eyebrows as he saw Bai Yunxian’s face that was distorting continuously because he couldn’t focus.
"It seems that this brat couldn’t wait to meet with that guy anymore. He’s becoming impatient. Tsk... children these days..." Zhao Jie mumbled as he shook his head and clicked his tongue, pressing his hand over Bai Yunxian’s head.
"Don’t act like an idiot and calm your mind, whatever you are anxious for, do it after you’re done absorbing the power. A little more is left, unless you want to be kept as a useless doll."
"..."
Slowly, Bai Yunxian calmded again as he continued, Zhao Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
’This brat, that brat, all of them are the same! The brat up there has a strange aura around him, I bet he won’t let it go if something were to happen to this brat here. Sigh, what a trouble!’
Being a high realm martial expert, Zhao Jie was able to sense the extraordinary strength coming from Yun Shu, though he failed to realize what it was. He decided not to mess with her.
After the aura around Bai Yunxian disappeared slowly, the pattern on his forehead flashed a light as it changed into that of a phoenix.
He opened his beautiful ruby eyes as a smile spread across his face, mumbling.
"I’m coming, My Lord."
Yun Shu stood in front of a dark cave as she crossed her arms over her chest, waiting patiently.
’My Lord is being so patient with a woman! It’s the first time since he became a playboy!’ Her subordinates were in awe but dared not show this in front of her.
Truly, Yun Shu’s reputation at the Capital for being a Playboy was well known. Even so, every lady was ready to become his bride because of his handsome face and the status he owned!
After all, even they didn’t understand how Yun Shu came to be like Bai Yunxian, the neglected daughter of General Bai. However, the Lady was so pure and innocent that it must’ve caught the attention of their playboy master!
’Poor lady...’
Nine and Thirteen shook their heads in abstinence as they sneaked glances at Yun Shu, who was getting impatient with every passing second.
They didn’t know when Yun Shu would lose her patience and run straight inside the cave.
