Ye Chuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and Bai Qianshuang immediately lifted her head, feigning composure with a light cough.
Her eyes flickered a few times before she saw Ye Chuan staring at her.
"What were you trying to do just now?"
"Nothing," Bai Qianshuang replied expressionlessly.
"Really nothing?" A hint of amusement flashed in Ye Chuan's eyes as he noticed Bai Qianshuang glancing away guiltily. "Nothing means nothing."
Ye Chuan didn’t press further—after all, his spiritual sense had already detected what Bai Qianshuang had been about to do.
"In that case, let’s continue cultivating."
"Mm." Bai Qianshuang seemed to relax momentarily, but soon tensed up again, her beautiful eyes lowering. "Why did you touch my thigh?"
"Aren’t we cultivation partners?"
Bai Qianshuang paused. Ye Chuan’s logic was hard to refute, but her voice still trembled slightly. "It tickles."
"Your sensitivity is just high. You’ll get used to it after a few more times," Ye Chuan chuckled.
Hearing this, Bai Qianshuang obediently stopped resisting.
Yet, the fluctuations in her aura betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
When the moment felt right, Ye Chuan pulled her closer, burying his face against her chest. "A hug."
"…?" Bai Qianshuang stiffened like stone.
"Ever heard? Hugs give you strength and lift your mood," Ye Chuan mumbled, his face completely nestled against her.
Bai Qianshuang froze for a moment, as if recalling something, then gradually relaxed.
A hand rose gently, stroking the back of Ye Chuan’s head.
Ye Chuan was taken aback, surprised by the tenderness of her touch.
"Ye Chuan, did your mood improve?" Bai Qianshuang whispered. "If I can help you, I’m willing."
Ye Chuan: "…"
He lifted his head, meeting her cool yet unexpectedly soft gaze.
"Ahem." For some reason, Ye Chuan couldn’t hold her stare. "Let’s stop here for today. I have things to do."
With that, he quickly stood and headed to his room.
Watching his hurried retreat, Bai Qianshuang seemed to understand something. She raised a hand to her lips and giggled softly.
……
Back in his room, Ye Chuan sat on the bed, arms crossed, puzzled.
"Tch, why did I chicken out just now?"
"Lilith, any ideas?"
"Pfft. All talk, but you crumble when faced with a girl’s sincerity," Lilith’s teasing voice echoed in his mind.
Ye Chuan: "…"
"Whatever." He ruffled his hair and flopped onto the bed.
Lilith materialized, yawning before floating to a corner of the bed—then deftly retrieving a juice bottle from the mini-fridge.
"Slurp~" She sipped her drink, legs swinging idly.
The room was silent except for the sound of Lilith drinking, while Ye Chuan lay with his hands behind his head.
After a while, Ye Chuan glanced at her. "Lilith, you’ve been appearing more often lately."
"Maintaining my soul isn’t an issue anymore," Lilith replied, propping her cheek on one hand as a math book hovered before her, pages flipping rapidly via magic.
It was unclear whether she actually understood any of it.
"But I still need spirit essence," Lilith reminded, side-eyeing him.
"I don’t like being stuck like this."
Ye Chuan shrugged.
He hadn’t encountered any supernatural adventure worlds in a while, and the meager spirit essence from the real world was far from enough for Lilith.
"I’ve seen you before," Lilith suddenly remarked.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chuan blinked.
"Never mind. Just a random thought." Lilith dissolved into purple light, returning to the jade pendant on Ye Chuan’s chest.
"Huh?"
Ye Chuan stayed in his room until dinner. Ke Ning emerged briefly to eat before vanishing again.
Lan Xiaoke remained in her orb form, though her aura had grown dense—Ye Chuan guessed she’d materialize within days.
As for Bai Qianshuang, she kept stealing glances at Ye Chuan during dinner, making the atmosphere oddly tense.
After a shower, Ye Chuan holed up in his room, waiting for midnight’s refresh.
When the clock struck twelve, he collected his daily rewards, the props dropped by his tenant Sunflower, and tended to the herb garden.
"A few Dabunius and some items." He organized his inventory before focusing on the adventure tab.
The Tianxuan Continent was still in revival mode, so Ye Chuan turned to the Aiser Continent.
Whatever, let’s go!
His vision blurred…
When it cleared, he found himself standing on a bustling street.
It was daytime, and the crowd wore distinctly Western-fantasy attire—knight armor, witch robes, leather armor—giving the vibe of an MMORPG.
"Now that I think about it, logging into adventure worlds daily really does feel like gaming."
Ye Chuan treated them as separate games: Tianxuan Continent was one, Aiser Continent another.
Different worlds, different playstyles.
"When will the system unlock the ‘bring tenants into adventure worlds’ feature?" Just as he grumbled, his phone vibrated.
[Detected sufficient adventure world activity. Daily Quests unlocked.]
[Daily Quest: Aiser Continent

[Item: Return Scroll

"Oh? Daily quests now?" After some research, he discovered completing them would log progress, with rewards scaling by streak.
One reward caught his eye—

……
[Daily Quest Streak: 66

"Huh? I can bring tenants into adventures and recruit from them too?" The new items surprised him.
