The one who should apologize is actually me.

"Pant... pant..."

Crystal-clear beads of sweat slowly rolled down Su Yuxin's fair forehead. Her cute, long twin tails had come undone at some point, the hair ties nowhere to be found. With her hair scattered around her, she looked like an exhausted little mule, lying motionless against the pillow with her eyes half-closed.

"Ye... Brother Ye Feng... I like... I like Brother Ye Feng the most... hehehe..."

"!!!"

Hearing Su Yuxin's words, Ye Feng, who was still immersed in bliss, instantly snapped back to reality. Propping his strong, muscular arms on either side of her pillow, he looked down at the dazed Su Yuxin. The burning fire of desire in his heart was instantly extinguished by reason.

What... what have I done...

"Huu... haa..."

Panting heavily, Ye Feng took continuous deep breaths, trying to calm his nervous emotions.

Oh no. I lost control and didn't hold back. Yuxin's petite body definitely won't be able to handle this.

At this thought, Ye Feng hurriedly rolled off the bed. He reached out to touch Su Yuxin's burning forehead and anxiously called her name.

"Yuxin, Yuxin! Wake up."

"Hehehe..."

"Yuxin, look at me. Don't lose consciousness."

"I love you, Brother Ye Feng... I love you so much ♡"

Crap, normal calling isn't working anymore. It doesn't look like her life is in danger, so I can only stay by her side and see how she does.

Thinking this, Ye Feng rushed to the bathroom, found a clean towel, soaked it in cold water, and immediately placed it on Su Yuxin's forehead.

Hopefully, this will ease her physical condition a bit.

......

"Ah..."

An unknown amount of time passed before Su Yuxin slowly opened her eyes from her daze. The physical discomfort made it agonizingly hard for her to move, yet amidst the discomfort, she felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Why were such contradictory feelings appearing in her body at the same time? Even Su Yuxin herself probably didn't know.

Unable to speak, Su Yuxin stared at the ceiling for a long while. It wasn't until she regained control of her body that she slowly turned her head to look at the dark silhouette by the bed.

What's wrong with me... Ah! R-right! I was just with Brother Ye Feng... but why don't I have any memory of the middle part? It feels like my memories were extracted.

Could it be that I failed Brother Ye Feng's test, which is why I was dazed until now? Ugh... as expected, someone like me doesn't deserve Brother Ye Feng's love at all.

The sensitive Su Yuxin blamed herself for everything that had happened. Biting her lower lip lightly, tears slowly streamed down her face.

As she cried for longer, Su Yuxin's quiet whimpers turned into loud sobs.

"Wuu wuu..."

"Yu... xin?"

The strange noise woke Ye Feng, who had been guarding by Su Yuxin's side. Hearing her cries, he subconsciously assumed that he had frightened her by going too far, so he immediately took the initiative to apologize.

"Yuxin, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, I... I just..."

"I'm sorry, Brother Ye Feng. I'm not a qualified..."

The two of them spoke at almost the exact same time. Hearing this, the anxious Ye Feng and the worried Su Yuxin both froze.

"Eh?"

"Hmm?"

"Brother... Brother Ye Feng, don't you hate me?"

The frightened Su Yuxin was the first to ask her question. Her soft, sweet tone would make anyone who heard it want to comfort her.

"Hate you? Yuxin, what is that little head of yours imagining now? How could I possibly hate you?"

Hearing this, Ye Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. So Su Yuxin wasn't crying because he had bullied her too much. Then why...

"But Brother Ye Feng, my performance was just too terrible. Today was clearly a very important day for us, yet I ruined everything... Mmph."

Just as Su Yuxin continued to voice her inner fears, Ye Feng gently lowered his head and gave her soft lips a light peck, instantly silencing her.

"Alright, now it's my turn to speak."

Ye Feng smiled at Su Yuxin's suddenly shy demeanor, then reached out and tightly grasped her small hand.

"Today is a wonderful day for me. I am truly happy to be here with you, Yuxin."

"But..."

"No buts. On the contrary, I'm the one who should be apologizing to you."

Ye Feng looked up at the dim moonlight outside the window, a sentimental smile gradually appearing on his face. Seeing this, stars practically formed in Su Yuxin's eyes; Ye Feng really wasn't lying to her.

"It was my recklessness that caused you to end up like this, Yuxin. I should be the one apologizing."

Returning from Cultivation to the City, Bad News: My Cultivation Is Gone

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
