If Su Jiu were truly in any danger, I would feel guilty for not going to protect her.

(This chapter has been edited to remove inappropriate content)

The voice was soft and sweet.

Like a kitten's paw, it scratched lightly at the tip of his heart.

Su Ji's heart skipped a beat.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong with this voice.

Even if that fellow Su Jiu were beaten half to death, she would only give a cold snort with a stoic face. How could she make such a sound?

Alarm bells rang in Su Ji's mind. He tried his best to steady his nerves, but his fixed point of view began to move slowly out of his control.

It was as if someone was carefully pushing the window open a tiny bit more.

As the gap widened, the scene inside the room became clearer.

And then, Su Ji saw it.

On that large, soft bed in the room.

A familiar Daoist robe hung loosely over her shoulders.

The young maiden was lying on her side on the bed, her exquisite curves slightly curled up.

Her eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.

Su Ji's mind went blank with a buzz, completely crashing.

This...

Is this the freaking [Heavenly Fox Tribulation]?

"Mmm...?"

A faint, fragmented moan escaped Su Jiu's lips.

Was he discovered?

Su Ji quickly lowered his head.

Sinful, sinful.

See no evil, see no evil...

He hoped everyone could testify for him.

It was [Peeking into Heaven's Mandate] that locked him into this perspective.

It didn't have much to do with him, Su Ji.

He couldn't switch his point of view right now, could he?

Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't take another glance.

He, Su Ji, was not that kind of sneaky, despicable person.

And so...

Su Ji watched with great relish, making "professional" critiques in his mind.

Just as Su Ji watched to the point where his Dao heart was about to waver, her eyes suddenly snapped open.

The misty haze in them instantly vanished without a trace, replaced by a look of sharp vigilance.

Cultivators would occasionally experience sudden flashes of intuition; even the most insignificant hint of being spied upon could be as glaring as a torch in the dark of night.

"Who is it?!"

A cold, low shout rang out in the room.

Su Jiu abruptly sat up.

She formed her fingers into a sword gesture, and mysterious spiritual energy coiled around her fingertips.

Su Jiu's eyes swept toward the window with absolute precision.

Su Ji was scared out of his wits.

He instinctively wanted to pull his head back and withdraw his perspective.

But this damned [Peeking into Heaven's Mandate] seemed to be stuck, rendering him completely immobilized. He could only watch helplessly as Su Jiu's murderous gaze met his own.

It was over.

He was going to be silenced.

Bang!

A loud crash echoed.

That flimsy wooden door was kicked into pieces from the inside out.

Amidst the flying wood splinters, a white figure appeared at the doorway, bringing with her an overwhelming chill.

Su Jiu stood there beautifully, her Daoist robe worn neatly and properly.

Her pure and breathtakingly beautiful face was covered in a layer of frost.

She just looked quietly at Su Ji without saying a word.

Yet Su Ji felt as if he were being targeted by a peerless great demon, every hair on his body standing on end.

"Junior... Junior Sister?"

Su Ji swallowed hard, forcing a smile that looked uglier than crying.

"Your... your door is broken."

Su Jiu did not respond to his nonsense.

With a casual wave of her hand, an invisible gust of wind swept the broken door planks aside.

"Junior Sister, listen to my explanation..."

Su Ji raised his hands high, trying to prove his innocence.

"I didn't see anything at all!"

Su Jiu's footsteps paused for a moment.

She slowly raised her head, and a ripple finally appeared in her eyes.

It was a kind of... anger mixed with shame and indignation.

"Oh?"

Her red lips parted slightly. Her voice wasn't loud, but it made Su Ji feel as if the surrounding air had grown several degrees colder.

"Since Senior Brother didn't see anything,"

"Then shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Su Jiu approached step by step, the distance between them constantly closing.

"Why would you spy on my room for no reason?"

Just as Su Ji felt he was going to be poked to death by Su Jiu's finger in the next second, the world before his eyes shattered with a boom.

Su Ji jolted awake, finding himself still sitting cross-legged on his own bed, his forehead already covered in fine cold sweat.

He panted heavily, his heart still pounding wildly.

That glance just now was far too terrifying.

Thank goodness, thank goodness it was only a glimpse into the future...

Su Ji patted his chest.

He didn't expect that after so many days, [Peeking into Heaven's Mandate] could still bring him such a lingering sense of fear.

He shook his head, trying to throw the previous images out of his mind, but found that the scene seemed to be branded into his brain with a hot iron. The more he tried to forget it, the clearer it became.

A question spontaneously arose in Su Ji's heart.

When did the scene just now take place?

Sometime within the next seven days, that was for sure.

But exactly which day?

Su Ji furrowed his brows tightly. It wasn't that he had any other dirty thoughts, but rather that the name of this tribulation was off.

[Heavenly Fox Tribulation].

It didn't sound like a good thing at all.

But in the vision, Su Jiu's appearance didn't look like she was undergoing a tribulation at all. Instead, it looked more like she was...

Ahem.

Su Ji forcefully stopped his wild imagination.

Su Jiu had helped him so much. Although he, Su Ji, couldn't be considered a perfect gentleman, he was not an ungrateful scoundrel either.

At this crucial moment, if she were truly in any danger and he didn't go to help protect her, he would feel somewhat guilty.

Cultivating immortality placed the greatest emphasis on having clear and unobstructed thoughts.

Once one's thoughts were obstructed, at best, their cultivation would stagnate; at worst, inner demons would breed, leading to Qi deviation.

Forget it, no more thinking about this.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Since the vision from [Peeking into Heaven's Mandate] showed him appearing outside Su Jiu's window at that specific point in time, there would definitely be some sort of omen when the time came.

Rather than making wild guesses now, it was better to think about how to figure out the situation without being discovered by Su Jiu, just in case that moment really arrived.

After all, he had just personally experienced the consequence of being caught red-handed.

That feeling was definitely not pleasant.
