Aether Continent, log out.
Back in his own room, Ye Chuan looked around and then lay down flat.
He was tired and needed a break.
He rolled over.
"Hmm, feels like something's missing." Ye Chuan looked left and right before finally calling out,
"Xiao Ke—"
The door opened, and a white-haired girl poked her head in. "Ye Chuan, you lookin' for me?"
"Come here and stay with me for a bit."
"Me?"
Pulling the soft and squishy Lan Xiao Ke into his arms, Ye Chuan buried his face into the warm "pillow" before closing his eyes for a nap.
Lan Xiao Ke scratched her head, confused.
Was Ye Chuan going to sleep this early today?
She let him bury his face in her lap to sleep while she pulled out her phone and started scrolling.
Ye Chuan slept for a short while. When he woke up, he found red marks on his face from the pressure, and Lan Xiao Ke was also snoring away, drooling with her eyes shut.
Seeing her chubby thigh pressing down on him, Ye Chuan couldn't help but think her sleeping posture was beyond unsightly.
"Wake up." Ye Chuan pinched Lan Xiao Ke's baby-fat cheeks.
"Mmm, huh?!" Lan Xiao Ke responded dazed at first, then immediately sat up.
"Ye Chuan, you're awake?! I wasn't sleeping just now, okay? I was staying with you the whole time, being your bear pillow!"
"I was so good, can I get a raise in my allowance?"
"Are you sure you weren't sleeping?" Ye Chuan glanced at Lan Xiao Ke's drool, then pointed at the red marks on her own face from her nap.
He didn't even know where to begin roasting her.
"If only you were half as enthusiastic about cultivation as you are about allowance," Ye Chuan said.
"Ye Chuan, you talk like a nagging old lady."
"Just stating facts." After getting out of bed, Ye Chuan heard Lan Xiao Ke say,
"By the way, Ye Chuan, Qianshuang has been acting weird lately. Have you noticed?"
"Weird how?" Ye Chuan looked back at Lan Xiao Ke, seemingly not understanding what she meant.
"Like, Qianshuang has been staring at the mirror in a daze lately. Do you think she has a secret?" Lan Xiao Ke gestured.
Staring at the mirror in a daze?
What's there to daze about?
"I didn't know about that." Ye Chuan thought for a few seconds and then asked, "Where is Qianshuang?"
"I don't know. She should be outside."
Ye Chuan led Lan Xiao Ke out of the room. The living room was empty; even Lan Xiao Ke had been cooped up in her room playing games earlier.
"Hmm—" Ye Chuan looked around and released his divine sense, discovering that Bai Qianshuang wasn't home either.
She was either out or had gone to the Heavenly Profound Continent.
After all, since the destruction of the Qingyun Sect, Bai Qianshuang could freely travel back and forth to the Heavenly Profound Continent. He occasionally heard her mention things about the Jade Void Sect.
"Maybe you should go to the Heavenly Profound Continent to help out too," Ye Chuan said to Lan Xiao Ke.
"Me?"
"Yeah."
"I can't even go there." Lan Xiao Ke knew that not just anyone could travel to another world, so she grinned, not at all afraid of being thrown in by Ye Chuan.
"There is a way." Ye Chuan held up a finger.
"First, I'll turn you into a soul body, then find a magical treasure to store you in. After I enter the Heavenly Profound Continent, I'll let you out and resurrect you."
Lan Xiao Ke: "Soul body... store... resurrect..."
A few seconds later, she reacted. "Ye Chuan, you actually want to slaughter me!!!"
"Evil cultivator!"
"How can you be like this? I don't want to!! No, no, no!!!"
"Mean Ye Chuan, turning your back on me the moment you got what you wanted!"
Lan Xiao Ke started rolling around on the floor like a child. She looked both ridiculous and cute, but of course, Ye Chuan wouldn't actually do such a thing; he was just seeing how she would react.
As Lan Xiao Ke was rolling around, a nearby door opened.
A familiar black-haired girl stepped out slowly and immediately saw Lan Xiao Ke squirming on the floor.
"Xiao Ke...?"
Seeing Lan Xiao Ke rolling all over the place, Bai Qianshuang seemed confused about what she was doing. A metaphorical question mark appeared on her face.
"What happened?"
Lan Xiao Ke immediately lunged forward and hugged Bai Qianshuang's leg. "Ye Chuan is bullying me!"
"Bullying?"
Lan Xiao Ke quickly repeated what had just been said. After hearing it, Bai Qianshuang said to Ye Chuan very seriously,
"Ye Chuan, that's not good."
Seeing Bai Qianshuang scolding him so solemnly, Ye Chuan couldn't help but laugh. "I was just joking."
"Humph," Lan Xiao Ke huffed.
"However, that is indeed a method, though there are gentler ways to extract a soul," Bai Qianshuang said to Lan Xiao Ke. "Want to try?"
Lan Xiao Ke trembled all over and took two steps back. "You two... you're both crazy... I'm not doing it!"
As Lan Xiao Ke ran backward, she bumped into something soft and fell onto her butt.
Looking up, she found a girl in a white robe standing behind her—no, this face was very familiar!
Bai Qianshuang.
It was also Bai Qianshuang.
Lan Xiao Ke looked at the Bai Qianshuang in front of her, then at the one beside her.
"Qianshuang has split into two!!!"
The white-robed "Bai Qianshuang" glanced at Lan Xiao Ke, then looked up at Bai Qianshuang. "Is she the disciple you took into the Jade Void Sect?"
"Yes, my junior sister," Bai Qianshuang replied.
"Mediocre talent, no spiritual foundation," the "Bai Qianshuang" said flatly.
Lan Xiao Ke: "?"
"Sword Spirit." Ye Chuan recognized this person who looked exactly like Bai Qianshuang. He had heard her mention a few days ago that she wanted to bring the Sword Spirit to this world to take a look.
"Senior Ye." The Sword Spirit gave a bow. Since Ye Chuan was a benefactor of the Jade Void Sect, the Sword Spirit naturally respected him immensely.
"Sword Spirit?" Only then did Lan Xiao Ke understand the other's origin.
"But you two..." Ye Chuan looked at Bai Qianshuang and the Sword Spirit.
Standing together, they looked like twins.
"Can't you tell us apart?" the Sword Spirit asked.
"I can," Ye Chuan said. Their auras were different, making them easy to distinguish, but in terms of appearance, they were identical.
"But after all this time, why do you still use Qianshuang's appearance?"
"I am a Sword Spirit and was originally formless. Having been nurtured by my master's spiritual energy for so long, this is the result," the Sword Spirit explained.
"Eh—" Lan Xiao Ke, however, couldn't tell. "I can't tell the difference!"
"You'll know once you improve your strength," Ye Chuan said, glancing at her.
"Ugh..." Lan Xiao Ke stared intently at Bai Qianshuang and the Sword Spirit, finally coming to a conclusion.
"Then let's play cards together! We'll get to know each other fast that way!"
Bai Qianshuang: "..."
Sword Spirit: "?"
Ye Chuan: "..."
Ye Chuan flicked Lan Xiao Ke's forehead, then put an arm around her and led her out. "Alright, ignore this girl. Qianshuang, why don't you take the Sword Spirit for a walk around this world first?"
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
