The next morning, Fang Xuan was woken up by a faint cracking sound.
He opened his eyes. Sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the curtains, just like yesterday.
But along the edge of the ceiling, a thin crack appeared, looking like a mark left by a stone hitting glass, spreading outward at a visible pace.
He sat up.
Outside the window, the rooftop across the way still had the same quilts airing out, and the children were still running around below.
But the color of the sky wasn't quite right; it was a blue so vivid it looked painted on, with a few clouds hanging there, completely motionless.
Fang Xuan looked down at the person in his arms.
Ning Xian was still asleep, her breathing very light.
The cracks in the ceiling grew deeper. He knew this world was starting to collapse.
It seemed the laws of time were no longer interested in playing along with him.
He slowly pulled his arm away and gently rested her head on the pillow.
He got out of bed and stood by the window.
The blue of the sky was fading like a bleached canvas,
revealing a grayish-white void behind it.
Fang Xuan activated the laws within his body, and his aura began to slowly surge back.
But then... the system's voice suddenly rang out again.
【Imposing punishment on the useless sex slave Fang Xuan. You are permitted to return only after completing three hundred and ninety-six tasks in this realm! Hmph! This is the penalty for disregarding the system's warnings!】
Fang Xuan ignored it, continuing to exert control over the fractured laws of time.
The system grew anxious.
【Re-consolidating this realm—】
Fang Xuan's hand paused... What?
Before he could react, a massive force surged out of the void.
Then his tongue lolled out, and he fainted...
【Comparing original world training value acquisition. Low acquisition detected. Erasing...】
【Reloading world...】
...
When Fang Xuan woke up again, the cracks on the ceiling were gone.
The sky outside the window had returned to its normal blue. The clouds were moving, and the children downstairs were laughing.
Fang Xuan stared at the ceiling for a long time before slowly sitting up.
Ning Xian was sitting by the bed, holding a bowl of medicine with a serious expression.
She lowered her gaze and handed the bowl over, her little face earnest as she spoke, “Junior Brother, you overexerted yourself just now... you fainted. You have to nourish yourself properly...”
Fang Xuan opened his mouth. “Huh?”
“No, Senior Sister, that was because...” He wanted to mention the system.
“Be quiet and drink up.” Ning Xian put on a fierce face and held the spoon to his lips.
Junior Brother needs to get better quickly so we can do proper business.
Looking at her fierce little act, Fang Xuan couldn't help but laugh. “Mm... alright...”
Ning Xian watched him drink the restorative tonic, and the fierce expression on her face softened. She couldn't help but look a little smug at her success.
But she quickly forced herself to look serious again, hiding her pride.
She looked down and stirred the medicine in the bowl, pretending to be very focused.
Fang Xuan thought she was adorable.
Well... Senior Sister really should have the Great Love personality.
But why is it that she's always...
...
“I'll take Senior Sister out to play today...” he began.
Ning Xian interrupted him. “No. Now that you've taken your medicine, we should obviously be doing proper business...” She kept a straight face, acting perfectly serious.
“...” Fang Xuan fell silent.
He should have known...
Ning Xian continued feeding him the medicine, one spoonful at a time, very carefully.
“Drink up. We're doing it as soon as you finish.”
Fang Xuan looked at her, not at all intimidated. “Just make sure Senior Sister doesn't run away again later...”
Ning Xian paused, then muttered under her breath, “Junior Brother was the one who fainted. Who knows who will be the one running...”
Fang Xuan didn't say anything. He simply raised his hand, and a flicker of crimson light condensed at his fingertips.
The laws of lust swirled in the morning light like a wisp of red smoke.
The hand Ning Xian was using to hold the bowl visibly stiffened.
She stared at that light, her throat bobbing as she swallowed. Then, her body began to tremble as a reflexive reaction...
Her voice was already starting to shake. “Junior Brother, I... I think it's better if we... rest for a few days.”
“It's not up to Senior Sister anymore...” Fang Xuan said.
But before he could finish, Ning Xian shoved a spoonful of medicine into his mouth, blocking his next words.
Then she hurriedly set the bowl down, hopped off the bed, and ran out in her slippers.
Fang Xuan watched her retreating figure in a daze.
Her white short-sleeved shirt, her legs that made his head spin, the pitter-patter of her slippers—she even tripped a little at the door.
However, he didn't give chase.
Where could this silly Senior Sister of his possibly run to?
If she ran to the sofa, they would do it on the sofa.
If she ran to the kitchen, they would do it in the kitchen.
By the window, in the entryway, on the dining table—anywhere was fine...
