The room suddenly plunged into dead silence.
Su Jiu's tearful, sorrowful cry still echoed in Su Ji's ears.
He saw her clear eyes, now covered in a thick layer of mist, looking as if she had suffered the world's greatest grievance.
She was ashamed and indignant, yet completely at a loss.
Right at that moment, something inappropriately popped up to make its presence known.
[Engaging in conversation with Su Jiu. Target meets aesthetic standards. Romance options triggered.]
[Option 1: Say nothing and continue watching (Reward: Su Jiu's affection +1, triggers Spiritual Energy Tide)]
[Option 2: Listen to her, close your eyes, and explain that you didn't do it on purpose (Reward: Su Jiu's affection -0.1, and afterward be strongly condemned by Su Jiu for suddenly visiting when she explicitly said she needed to consolidate her cultivation.)]
[Option 3: Shout "I came at a bad time, see you tomorrow, Junior Sister," and then slip away (Reward: Su Jiu will act as if nothing happened)]
Looking at the three options popping up before him, Su Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
What in the world was this?
Was he, Su Ji, the kind of despicable person who would take advantage of someone's precarious situation?
Yes.
Without a moment's hesitation, he tossed the latter two options straight to the back of his mind.
Su Ji would never do anything that decreased affection points.
Su Ji's attention landed on the words "Spiritual Energy Tide."
Although he had never experienced this phenomenon himself, he had read about it plenty of times in those novels.
Every time it appeared, it meant a heaven-sent opportunity.
Countless cultivators would fight bloody battles just to claim a spot at the center of the tide; even the annihilation of entire sects was a common occurrence.
To think he would actually stumble upon it today.
And from the looks of it, the center of this Spiritual Energy Tide seemed to be right here in Su Jiu's room.
Su Ji instantly figured out the cause and effect.
No wonder this little fox Su Jiu chose this exact moment to consolidate her cultivation instead of sooner or later, and even had the audacity to ask him for so many spirit stones.
It turned out she had long used the secret arts of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan to divine this opportunity.
He, Su Ji, had contributed both money and effort, worrying about her safety and fearing she might suffer qi deviation, which was why he had taken the trouble to come over and act as her Dao Protector.
Mooching off a wave of the Spiritual Energy Tide wasn't too much to ask, right?
At this thought, the last trace of guilt in Su Ji's heart vanished into thin air.
Not only did he not look away, but he stared even more righteously, leaning in a bit closer to get a better view.
"Wu... don't look... I'm begging you..."
Su Jiu's voice was now laced with pleading.
She felt like she was going crazy.
Her entire body felt as if it were being gnawed by countless ants, making it nearly impossible for her to even stand straight.
Meanwhile, the guy at the door was planted there like a stone statue, completely motionless.
That undisguised gaze...
This unprecedented sense of shame instantly washed away all her reason.
Su Jiu's vision went dark, her legs gave out, and she fell straight backward.
Thud.
A soft sound.
The entire fox crashed to the floor, along with the broken spear in her hand that she hadn't even had the chance to use.
Almost at the exact same moment Su Jiu fell.
A sudden anomaly erupted!

Su Ji stroked his chin.
It didn't seem quite right to just leave like this.
Whether out of emotion or reason, he ought to...
A meaningful smile appeared on Su Ji's face.
He slowly walked over to Su Jiu's side and crouched down.
Then, he gently pinched Su Jiu's exquisitely beautiful face.
Hmm, feels nice.
Just as he was about to stand up and leave.
Su Jiu's long eyelashes suddenly fluttered.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
