Even though Ye Feng said it so amiably, Cangxuan still wore the expression of a dead fish.
"Don't be so heartless. Aside from wanting to fuck you, I'm basically harmless the rest of the time. I can even be beneficial to you."
"..."
No, no, no, that first part is already a very serious problem.
"Do you always speak so... 'unreservedly'?"
"There is nothing I do that cannot be told to others. I am just that much of a righteous and upstanding person."
"...I don't think the phrase 'righteous and upstanding' is supposed to be used that way."
Just then, a pink light shone in the distance. A massive formation covered the sky, rotating like a celestial body and blooming with magnificent splendor.
Immediately after, Cangxuan saw a small, sparrow-like black shadow dart out from the grass in the distance, running in the opposite direction of the formation as fast as it could.
It was muttering things like, "This is so unfair! Lady Fu Xuan can still use the [Divine Foresight Matrix] here? I'm dead if she catches me!"
Cangxuan withdrew her gaze, only to notice that Ye Feng hadn't looked over there at all.
He was just smiling happily while looking at... her legs.
"..."
"Ah, don't misunderstand. I just heard from a wise man that if you're looking at a woman and she won't look at you, then you should look at her legs."
"..."
Cangxuan's feeling of "speechlessness" became almost tangible in that moment.
Swoosh—
Another streak of pink light shot off in the direction the small, bird-like figure had fled.
Cangxuan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you concerned?"
"This is our private time as lovers. Let's not talk about other girls, shall we?"
Cangxuan fell silent for a moment before asking, "Alright, then I'll ask directly. What exactly is going on with this place?"
Hearing this question, a pleased expression appeared on Ye Feng's face. "So you really don't know anything, Cangxuan."
"?"
Cangxuan's expression froze. "Was I supposed to know?"
Ye Feng just smiled without saying a word.
He then began to explain.
Cangxuan listened with great concentration.
The way this world existed surpassed all of her previous hypotheses. It was impossible to support with any mathematical theory, nor could a structural model be built.
Attempting to analyze it would be a fool's errand.
"That's only natural. If it could be modeled, little snake—that is, Mebius—would have done it long ago."
"...Dr. Mebius?"
Cangxuan's voice trembled slightly. "So she really didn't die..."
"I'm not sure about her main body, but the one here is a memory simulation."
"So it's a memory simulation?"
Cangxuan had heard rumors about the existence of the Elysian Realm.
Then, Ye Feng suddenly added, "No, that's not right."
"What's not right?"
"Describing them as 'memory simulations' isn't entirely accurate. They truly have developed 'their own personalities' and 'independent consciousness.' The fact that they can appear in my world is the best proof of that."
"Oh."
Cangxuan let out a noncommittal "oh," seemingly uninterested in the topic.
"By the way, Cangxuan, where's your sister?"
"Hmm?"
Cangxuan looked at Ye Feng with alarm.
"Don't you want to catch up with Mebius? She really misses you two, you know."
"No."
"Don't be like that. The three of you little ones can play some basketball, some shogi, maybe make some music."
"Why basketball and music? And what is shogi?"
Cangxuan felt that there was a hidden meaning in Ye Feng's words.
Besides, it was quite rude. What did he mean by "three little ones"?
"You know, Ro-Kyu-Bu!, The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!, and Angel's 3P!. The number of people is a little off for some of them, but you can make it work."
Cangxuan blinked, completely baffled by what he was saying.
"It's fine if you don't understand. You just have to do it. Don't think that just because I like big tits and long legs, I don't have a lot of love for little lolis too."
Cangxuan didn't want to reply.
Is this what they call the 'mad ramblings of an evil god'? Although she couldn't understand it, she felt as if she had been "contaminated."
Ye Feng looked up at the sky. "It's still early. This is a rare opportunity, Cangxuan. Would you like me to give you a tour of this place? Don't worry, I won't lay a finger on you, although you are indeed quite delicious."
At the mention of 'delicious,' Cangxuan subconsciously pressed her legs together slightly.
The last time in the kitchen, she had gotten her whole leg wet.
This cool-headed scientist from the Previous Era, a pioneer from the age of Shenzhou, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Cangxuan really wanted to refuse directly, to say, "That won't be necessary," but her reason told her that Ye Feng wasn't deceiving her, and this was an excellent opportunity to gather information.
Besides... if Ye Feng really wanted to do something, could she even resist him here?
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Ye Feng smiled faintly and led the way.
...
Chiyou Islet.
Ji Lin sensed that Cangxuan had fallen asleep and felt extremely anxious.
"It's okay, big sis was just looking through the 'logs' and got a little tired, that's all. She'll be fine after some rest."
A feather floated beside the golden sword, emitting a bright orange glow.
Fenghuang Down housed Danzhu's soul, while the Xuanyuan Sword carried Ji Lin's.
Danzhu's voice was as energetic as ever, as if all the sorrows of the world had nothing to do with her.
"This one is worried about Cangxuan entering that world..."
"You mean the 'strange world' we encountered before?"
Cangxuan and Danzhu had naturally told Ji Lin about their encounter in Ye Feng's world. However, they had omitted the parts that were not suitable for children.
The body of Ji Lin's sword swayed up and down. "Yes. I fear Cangxuan might face danger going in there alone."
"It's fine, it's fine! That 'Evil God' is actually a pretty nice person. Not only did he settle us on the familiar Taixuan Mountain, but he also gave us delicious food. Besides, the 'Evil God' could probably trap us there, but he still let us out. So, even if big sis goes back, she won't be in any danger."
The body of Ji Lin's sword hummed, as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself.
The "danger" she was talking about was not the same thing Danzhu was referring to.
At the same time, Ji Lin had also learned from Danzhu about a pastry called a "cream puff."
What Ji Lin was worried about was Cangxuan becoming that kind of delicacy.
Anxious, strange patterns on the sword's body began to glow with an eerie light. Danzhu saw them and was intrigued. "Ah Lin, these patterns..."
"Eh?"
These patterns were her master's marks, a "secret" that couldn't be seen by others.
Previously, Ji Lin had hidden them well with a "flowing light," but because she was distracted by Cangxuan's situation, they had become visible.
Danzhu exclaimed in admiration, "—They're so pretty! Did you have these patterns before?"
"Umm..."
Ji Lin wanted to dodge. If she had a human form, she would definitely be covering herself with her hands in shame right now.
But right now, she was just the body of a sword; she had nowhere to hide even if she wanted to.
Being "stared" at by Danzhu like this felt exactly like walking naked through a bustling city...
"N-No, don't look..."
"Eh? Why not? They're so beautiful."
Danzhu became even more enthusiastic. The feather floated around the sword, trying to get a thorough look from every angle.
Ji Lin was so ashamed she felt like she was about to drip.
