Originally, it was supposed to be a nice camping trip, until Qin Ran was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night.
The campfire outside the tent was still burning vigorously, casting flickering light into the tent that illuminated the furtive snake-like body.
Qin Ran sat up and saw Long Qiqi with her back facing him, sneaking out like a thief.
"Where are you going?" he asked aloud.
"Ah!" Long Qiqi did not notice the movement behind her and was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around, saw Qin Ran staring at her, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Oh, uh, I need to pee urgently so I'm going to the toilet!"
Qin Ran ignored her, got up and went over to Long Qiqi, touching her he found that the sealed acupoints had been opened.
After all Long Qiqi was a demon beast, although she had transformed into a human, the locations of her acupoints and meridian pathways still had subtle differences compared to humans.
Normal methods really could not seal her for too long.
Qin Ran looked at her for a moment, then sealed her acupoints again... Unfortunately he had not learned how to dislocate bones, otherwise taking apart her bones would be even better.
"Hey! You can't seal me here at this time!" Long Qiqi became anxious and said, "People will die!"
"You forgot, you're not human," Qin Ran retorted, and no longer bothered with her as he walked straight out of the tent.
The tents were pitched on a vast wilderness, and standing there one could see very far into the distance.
Qin Ran stood in front of the tent, gazing into the darkness in the distance, where there were torches, one after another, several hundred of them, connected into a large area.
There were also sounds of people shouting, horses neighing, and the clip-clop of hooves approaching.
The ground was shaking.
An army was coming, cavalry at that!
Qin Ran was shocked awake, not only because Long Qiqi wanted to escape, but also because he could feel the ground shaking from the cavalry trampling the earth.
"Shiyin!!"
He rushed to Li Shiyin's tent and yelled repeatedly.
The cavalry were pressing in, the "boom boom" of hooves becoming clearer, but there was no movement from inside the tent.
Qin Ran shouted again: "Shiyin, Shiyin!!"
Li Shiyin still did not respond.
Qin Ran became anxious, disregarding everything, ripped open the tent and rushed inside, only to see Li Shiyin sleeping spread-eagled inside, very sweetly asleep!
"Ah! You really make me give up!" Qin Ran suddenly felt despair.
Hurriedly he went over to pick up Li Shiyin and found a coat to wrap her in.
But before he had finished dressing Li Shiyin, the boom of hooves was already approaching. Then, someone outside the tent shouted: "Who's in the tent, come out quickly!"
Qin Ran continued dressing Li Shiyin.
Seeing no movement from the tent, someone outside drew a bow and shot a few arrows into the tent.
"Come out, or die!"
Qin Ran sighed, carried Li Shiyin who was only half dressed, and walked out of the tent.
Sure enough they were surrounded, looking out he could see over a thousand cavalry halted outside, a huge black mass, and another dozen or so had circled to the back, cutting off retreat from the tent.
The torches roared noisily in the wind, clear clinking sounds of armor colliding, horses milling around, the din from the army formation, the hypersensitive but socially anxious Qin Ran felt dizzy for a moment.
He was stunned for a bit before coming to his senses, then heard someone shouting at him:
"Hey! Hey!"
He looked up to see a soldier in black armor on horseback stopped in front of him, a saber pointed at him as the soldier barked: "Hey! Speak, who are you?"
"Qin Ran of the Dao Sword Sect," he replied.
"Dao Sword Sect?" The soldier sized up Qin Ran for a moment, "A cultivator?"
Then he shouted again: "What are you doing here?"
"Passing by, resting," Qin Ran said.
"Who's the one you're carrying?"
"My disciple."
"Your disciple?" The soldier seemed to think of something dirty and laughed.
After laughing for a while, he said, "Your disciple is like this?"
He was about to ask more when someone suddenly yelled from the side: "What did he say his name was?"
This voice sounded familiar to Qin Ran.
"Qin Ran!" the soldier shouted back loudly, "He's a cultivator."
Then someone rode over from that side, arriving beside Qin Ran, the horse circling around him, looking down and scrutinizing him.
Qin Ran looked up blankly at the horseman, this person was also wearing the same black armor, but he had a bright silver spear, and his face looked somewhat familiar...
He quickly recognized him, this was Li Shiwen!
"How about it? Recognize me now?" Li Shiwen asked coldly.
For some reason, Qin Ran suddenly felt guilty, as if in an instant he had become much shorter than Li Shiwen. He subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Shiwen.
Why was this?
...Because he was holding the other's half naked sister!!!
"I didn't expect you to be such a beast!" Li Shiwen's eyes were shooting fire as he ground his teeth, seeming ready to devour someone.
As he spoke, he stabbed over with his spear.
Qin Ran freed a hand to grab Li Shiwen's steel spear, hesitated for a moment, then explained: "It's not what you think... This is an accident!"
"Then what the hell is it?!" Li Shiwen yelled explosively, jerking his spear but unable to pull it free, then said, "To think I thought you were a gentleman!"
His familiar explosive yelling finally woke up Li Shiyin.
In her groggy state, Li Shiyin heard her brother's voice and opened her eyes to look for him. Indeed there he was beside her.
Hmm? Warhorse, black armor, spear, torches, big wind, is this a battle? She must be dreaming right!?
Just as she was thinking this, Li Shiwen roared again: "Tear him apart for me!"
It really was her brother?!
Li Shiyin confirmed it and was very happy, yelling loudly: "Brother!"
Then she turned and jumped directly from Qin Ran's arms onto Li Shiwen's horse. Her tender white hand pressed on Li Shiwen's armor as she smiled and asked: "How did you get into my dream? This armor feels quite real."
Li Shiwen was taken aback, a question mark on his face.
"Did you come to fight me?" Li Shiyin was delighted, standing on the horse with hands on hips, taunting: "This time I'll let you use only one hand..."
"Shiyin..." Qin Ran called from the ground.
Li Shiyin looked back and saw Qin Ran on the ground, even more surprised: "Eh? Master!! You're in my dream too?"
Qin Ran slapped his forehead and pointed around them.
Li Shiyin followed his gesture and took a look around - the wilderness, tents, campfire - her mind gradually returned and it seemed...this was not a dream!
She lowered her head to look at Li Shiwen on the horse, very puzzled: "How did you get here?"
Li Shiwen's face was black as he asked back: "How did you get here?!"
"I went with Master to XuanQin to forge swords!" Li Shiyin replied.
"If you're forging swords then forge swords, what are you doing here? And...clothes in disarray, what's with that?!" Li Shiwen scolded.
Only then did Li Shiyin examine herself and find that her coat was only halfway on, the other half dangling crookedly.
"Eh? Who dressed me?" She couldn't remember.
"Ah!!" Li Shiwen and Qin Ran both looked up at the sky.
Li Shiwen suddenly realized he had made the same gesture as Qin Ran, and understood him in an instant - the misunderstanding was resolved...
Just then, there was a commotion in the distant formation, a soldier shouted towards them: "Demon beast!"
Li Shiwen immediately became serious. Soon a scout rode over and whispered in his ear: "General, wolf pack to the southeast!"
He nodded, then asked Qin Ran: "That white horse is yours?"
"Yes."
"Come with us!" said Li Shiwen.
Finally he withdrew his spear, raised it, and yelled loudly: "Everyone prepare to move out!"
Then he pulled the reins and headed southeast.
Li Shiyin jumped down from Li Shiwen's horse and put on her clothes properly on the ground. She asked Qin Ran: "Master, should we go with them?"
Qin Ran glanced at her and said: "Let's go!"
He went into the tent to drag out Long Qiqi, then rode out with Li Shiyin on their horses to follow the main force.

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
