After arriving at the desolate borders of the Demon Realm, a hint of expression finally returned to Tian Chan's dazed face.
Raising a hand to wipe the corner of her eye, she found a tear track that had appeared at some unknown time.
"I..."
Tian Chan fell silent. Before this... she had never known she could be so fragile. Her emotional defenses were so easily broken, reducing her to tears. She had cultivated immortality for a full twenty thousand years... hailed as the leader of the righteous path, bearing the heavy responsibilities of the Nine Heavens, but in the end, she was still just a girl.
What she had experienced in Jiang Che's immortal boat over the past few days felt like a nightmare.
After adjusting her mindset, Tian Chan waved her delicate hand. In an instant, her robes changed, and she reverted to her male disguise.
"Palace Master Tian, you have finally returned!"
An immortal riding a magical artifact hurried over to Tian Chan.
"What is it? Has the Evil Spirit Realm attacked?" Tian Chan frowned.
"No, but the Evil Spirit plane has massed its army at the Demon Realm border once again. There might be another bloody battle!"
Tian Chan waved her hand. "I understand. Go and tell the cultivators... our Heavenly Dao Palace is not lacking in Lifespan Extension Pills. Anyone who can achieve merit... will be rewarded with them."
"Palace Master, are you alright?" The immortal from the Heavenly Dao Palace keenly noticed a hint of exhaustion in Tian Chan's demeanor.
"I am fine. I have recently been comprehending the path of the Immortal Emperor," Tian Chan dismissed it with a wave.
Of course she was exhausted. The experiences of the past few days were like a purgatorial nightmare to her, especially since her Dao heart had already been shattered to pieces.
...
"Palace Master, these are the Lifespan Extension Pills Yunya obtained from Young Master Jiang. This time, there are a total of... over eight hundred pills. It is enough to handle the upcoming immortal war."
Yunya walked up to Tian Chan and offered a jade bottle with both hands. Though the bottle was small... the Lifespan Extension Pills inside had been compressed to the size of mung beans, packing it to the brim... Each one was a top-grade pill capable of extending a lifespan by ten thousand years.
Tian Chan's body stiffened, a look of sorrow in her eyes as she gazed at Yunya.
While eavesdropping on Jiang Che's immortal boat, she had learned... her junior sister Yunya had actually known all along that she was a woman. The person she loved had always been her, regardless of gender. It was just that Tian Chan had strongly resisted it at the time, as she was deceiving everyone.
She had feared that exposing her identity would invite her junior sister's disgust.
But now... it was too late to say anything.
"Junior Sister..." Tian Chan lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with despair.
"Senior Brother... please accept this bottle of immortal pills." Yunya raised her hands, looking incredibly obedient, which completely broke through Tian Chan's emotional defenses!
"Enough!!!" Tian Chan shouted loudly, and then directly dispelled her male disguise.
She revealed her breathtakingly beautiful yet sorrowful face.
Yunya looked up, momentarily entranced. She only knew that Tian Chan was a woman, but she had not realized... that her senior sister was this beautiful.
"Junior Sister... you clearly knew my true identity, why didn't you say anything?" Tian Chan's voice trembled.
However, Tian Chan continued to stare at her blankly, not saying a word.
Tears welled up in Tian Chan's eyes as she pulled Yunya straight into her arms and burst into tears.
"It's my fault. I ruined you... Please, don't go to Jiang Che anymore, okay?"
"It's all my fault! I was too stupid!"
Tian Chan placed her hands on Yunya's shoulders, crying a river of tears. The tears she hadn't shed in over twenty thousand years of life had all been shed over these past few days.
However, what she saw in Yunya's eyes was not pleasant surprise, but calmness. "Senior Sister... please accept this bottle of Lifespan Extension Pills."
"I... I..." A look of horror surfaced in Tian Chan's eyes as she looked at the bottle of pills.
She had seen it with her own eyes... how Yunya had earned these Lifespan Extension Pills from Jiang Che, one by one.
Eight hundred top-grade Lifespan Extension Pills!
"I don't need them... You never have to go to Jiang Che again. Just stay in the Dao Palace, play your zither, and comprehend the Dao..."
"But—" Yunya hesitated to speak, then lifted her face, actually revealing a bright smile.
"But what if I've fallen in love with Young Master Jiang?"
Beep! The host has scammed Tian Chan, earning 2 billion points.
Beep! The host has scammed Yunya, earning 2 billion points.
"You..." Tian Chan was at a loss for words. She saw a brokenness in Yunya's eyes; her junior sister Yunya had gone mad.
"How could you possibly fall in love with him? You two were merely making a transaction!"
Yet Yunya's eyes still held a smile. "Senior Sister, at first I really disgusted myself and only treated it as a transaction. But... now I realize, I seem to have fallen in love with him!"
"He can give me more than enough love."
At the mention of Jiang Che, a happy smile actually curled the corners of Yunya's lips.
The sight of it sent a chill through Tian Chan's entire body.
What was Junior Sister Yunya saying? She fell in love with Jiang Che? How could that be possible!!!
"Junior Sister Yunya... do you know what you are saying?" Tian Chan's voice was trembling.
Right at that moment, Yunya reached out her delicate hand and snatched a small, jade-white bottle from Tian Chan's waist.
"Yunya, you—" Tian Chan instinctively tried to take it back.
"Palace Master... where did you get these top-grade Lifespan Extension Pills?"
Yunya curled her lips, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"These are left over from before," Tian Chan said, looking slightly panicked.
"Oh..." Yunya nodded to herself. "I thought you had also gone to see Young Master Jiang, Palace Master!"
"I didn't, but I already have a way to obtain Lifespan Extension Pills... Junior Sister... there is no need for you to wrong yourself anymore. Your Senior Brother... Senior Sister will back you up."
Yunya shook her head, glancing at Tian Chan's wrist... the chastity mark on it was still there.
It was strange to say, but in the past, she had stood firmly and unwaveringly by Tian Chan's side. Even now, it was the same; she could sacrifice everything for Senior Sister Tian Chan!
But—she still wanted to see Tian Chan looking utterly regretful, which was why she deliberately put on this broken, ruined facade.
Seeing her once lofty and unapproachable Senior Sister Tian Chan feeling regret over her broken state... brought her an extraordinary sense of inner satisfaction.
Perhaps, she could drag Senior Sister Tian Chan down from her pedestal and make her fall into depravity together with her!
Ah, Senior Sister Tian Chan... someone as perfect as you should become just as rotten as me.

"Husband! Please give me some wine, I can't take it anymore... It feels like ants are crawling all over my body right now!"
Li Qinghuan clung to Jiang Che's calf, on the verge of crying from desperation. Her face bore the flush of drunkenness as she hugged his leg, refusing to let go.
Jiang Che: "......"
He felt like he had made a terrible mistake. He really shouldn't have used the peerless immortal wine to tempt Li Qinghuan. Now, the woman was completely addicted to it.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
