The Secret Realm’s Transformation

Before Chris could recover from her shock, all the angels vanished from her sight the moment she blinked again.

It only lasted for a moment.

Rather than saying she had disappeared, it was more accurate to say that there was no trace of her ever having existed.

She constantly felt as though she had glimpsed a familiar face, but as soon as she focused, the clue would slip away from her mind.

The woman from before, enveloped in a will that seemed to consume everything, was truly frightening.

The secret realm began to tremble violently, and she blinked, gasping in surprise.

”What’s happening?”

”This is a change in the secret realm. We should retreat.”

A secret realm could change due to a fortuitous alignment and, after a few days, would be purified into a small paradise suitable for cultivation.

But these changes couldn’t be observed by others, much like Schrödinger’s cat.

”Yes!”

What seemed like a desperate situation had suddenly changed.

They had not only eradicated the evil within the secret realm but had also triggered a transformation in it—an unprecedented event.

At that moment, the cultivators who hadn’t entered the secret realm were looking up at its entrance in awe.

The eerie blue flames had been replaced by a golden light, and instead of an unsettling aura, a divine energy now emanated from within.

No one could believe that the secret realm they had struggled to approach was now completely conquered by three girls.

It was impossible.

They would have bled profusely just from getting close, and with the girls’ foundation-building cultivation, entering should have been suicidal.

Yet, as the girls retreated safely, all they could do was stare in disbelief.

Among the three beautiful girls, Bai Wanting was the least conspicuous.

But since the others were unfamiliar faces, she was naturally assumed to be the leader.

Ever since that day, Bai Wanting’s fame had soared, with rumors suggesting she was already at the golden core stage, merely pretending to be at the foundation-building stage.

Some even whispered that she was a succubus, draining men’s essence each night to nourish herself.

But no matter the gossip, it couldn’t dampen the girl’s excellent mood.

‘♬‘

Bai Wanting skillfully added ingredients and adjusted the fire to low, a wisp of purple smoke rising from the bottle with a ‘plop’ sound.

”Perfect!”

Before she knew it, she had prepared sixty bottles of essence… would Xiaoqian be alright?

”Mmm…”

”How could he not be? After all, this is my love.”

”I must make sure he drinks every drop.”

She carefully packed the small bottles and picked up the lovingly prepared ‘wife’s bento,’ gracefully walking out the door.

****

The soft clinking of keys and the creaking of the door startled Mingqian from his daze.

”Sleeping again, you lazy bum?”

”You’re finally back!”

”Haha, do I miss you that much?”

Bai Wanting’s cheeks flushed slightly, feeling his longing for the first time.

”Have you finally decided to let me take care of you for the rest of your life?”

”If that’s the case, I don’t need this anymore.”

She tucked the medicine into her bosom, her voice softening.

”What are you talking about? I was about to starve to death if you didn’t come back!”

”I, I tell you, I’d rather starve to death and jump off this place than surrender!”

His stomach growled, interrupting his words.

It had been two days since he last ate.

”Haha… Here, I’ve prepared a special lunch for you, Xiaoqian.”

Bai Wanting opened a cute lunchbox, revealing a large heart-shaped egg omelet.

It was as if a red-haired guitarist would appear, saying, ”It’s delicious, right?~”

Despite its terrifying appearance, the enticing aroma made Mingqian dizzy.

He reluctantly admitted that his mouth was watering, betraying him.

”This is a meal made with all my love, ah~”

”N-no…”

But Bai Wanting had already fed him a spoonful.

The soft rice and smooth egg flowed down his throat, tempting him for more.

He couldn’t deny it… the food was incredibly good.

”Eat up, eat up, and you’ll be fine.”

After that, he no longer resisted, allowing Bai Wanting to feed him until the meal was finished.

But the girl kept staring at his lips for some reason.

”What are you thinking?”

”I want to kiss you, to stick out my tongue.”

Mingqian’s eyes widened, shocked that someone could think of such things while eating, like some cults calling white stockings ‘white chocolate,’ which he didn’t agree with!

At least it should be black stockings.

”No, no! My kisses are only for those I like!”

”I like you.”

”I don’t like you.”

”…Naughty, but it’s okay.”

Bai Wanting’s flushed face suddenly darkened, and she turned to pour a cup of tea.

”Here, Xiaoqian, have some tea… oh no, medicine.”

She tried to feed Mingqian the steaming cup of tea.

”I have hands! I don’t need you to feed me; I can drink it myself!”

Mingqian didn’t believe it was just ordinary tea, pushing away Bai Wanting’s snow-white hand in displeasure.

”Tsk.”

He didn’t miss the faint sound of her tongue clicking.

”It’s just a regular cup of tea, and feeding you is my responsibility.’

”I don’t remember agreeing to have a maid. And why is your tea black? Are you sure you didn’t add anything?”

”I added a bit… something slightly kidney-tonic.”

”I’m not kidney-deficient! I want regular tea!”

Bai Wanting slowly lifted her foot, encased in stockings, and brought it close to his head.

The proximity allowed him to smell her natural fragrance, not that he was a pervert; it was just that Bai Wanting clearly wasn’t sweating, so she didn’t have an unpleasant odor.

”You can choose to be stepped on, drink it, or do both at the same time.”

Mingqian pushed her foot away, but before he could resist further, the ‘violence’ Bai Wanting applied to a certain part of his body made him yield.

A gentleman may be killed but not humiliated!

”Fine, it’s just a kidney-tonic, I’ll drink it!”

”That’s better, Xiaoqian. Drink every drop, ah~”

Bai Wanting gently brought the cup’s edge to his lips, slowly lifting the cup as he swallowed the tea with an unfamiliar taste.

Bai Wanting smiled satisfactorily.

Mingqian blinked, feeling his body becoming unusually hot.

”Is the air conditioner on? Why am I so hot?”

”No, it isn’t.”

”Is it already summer? That’s strange…”

”It’s not strange, Xiaoqian. You’re just accepting my overflowing love.”

”You! Did you drug me!”

”What do you mean by drug? I only added a bit of my love…”

”You’re lying! You said it was only kidney-tonic! I can’t give in… wuuu…”
