"No, Xuan Yi, I'm serious, I need to stay in the Dragon Palace for a few days!!

Early October, early morning, Dragon Palace.

In the golden morning light, Xuan Yi leaned on the railing, gazing in the direction of Shen Shu'an's cave dwelling.

The cave was not too far from the Dragon Palace, so it could be clearly seen with a little magic.

Under the sunlight, it was dazzlingly golden. Looking at that blinding gold, I thought of the little white dragon, who was equally lively and had bright, sparkling eyes.

It's true that where you live reflects where you live.

Suddenly, a breeze brushed past the dragon bells hanging from the corner of the palace, and their clear, melodious sound rang out softly.

Shen Shu'an, dressed in a light blue dress, stepped out of the cave just as the bells rang.

Just one night later, the girl had grown much taller. She hummed a song, still holding a steamed bun in her hand.

The same breeze also ruffled the girl's stray hairs by her ear. She subconsciously raised her hand to tidy them up, and when she looked up, she saw the dazzling Dragon Palace in the sky.

Honestly, I never noticed it before, but after going there last night, I can't ignore it anymore.

Xuan Yi, that guy, he lives really well!

In that instant, it was as if they were looking into each other's eyes.

Xuan Yi looked into the girl's clear, icy blue eyes, his golden eyes narrowing slightly. In just a few days, she had mastered the Transformation Technique?

As the thought crossed his mind, he chuckled for a moment, then lowered his head and gently stroked a strand of his equally long, dark hair that was now on his shoulder.

  

He knew this was the case, which is why he's been racking his brains lately, only going to bed around 1 AM every night...

Shen Shuan raised her eyes for a moment, then quickly looked away.

She was very busy this morning. Although she was on her day off, she planned to practice basic swordsmanship and also go find that guy Xuan Yi.

Shen Shuan swallowed the rest of the bun in one gulp, chewed and chewed, then took out the magic sword given to her by her sister Shen Wanqiu and infused it with spiritual power.

In an instant, the pure white magic sword suddenly grew larger, until it was large enough for the girl to stand on.

Shen Shuan raised her hand to tie her long hair high, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped onto the sword.

Hmph, little swordsman, the sister I am now is not the sister I used to be.

The flying sword hummed as it ascended into the sky, and Shen Shu'an stood tall on it. As the flying sword moved forward, a gentle breeze blew by.

Shen Shu'an looked at the scenery below, ignoring the stray hairs being blown by the wind, and smiled faintly.

For the past week, she has been diligently studying sword techniques with that jade slip in hand.

Although I haven't quite grasped the true meaning of the "Cloud Void Chasing Moon Sword" yet.

But he had already practiced sword control diligently in his cave for five days, just to look cool when he went out. He had already mastered the little sword control technique!

Above, several dragons poked their heads out, their eyes crinkling as they watched Shen Shu'an riding his sword.

"How did Shu'an grow up so much overnight?"

"Sigh, this is probably what the world of geniuses is like."

"Hey, old black guy, how long did it take you to master Transfiguration back then?"

Long Ba, whose name was called, glared at Long Yan speechlessly. "I don't remember, but I do remember that a certain Long trained for four or five months back then!"

Long Yan blushed and said awkwardly, "Ahem, I won't talk about it."

On the flying sword, Shen Shu'an looked up in confusion. Why were there more emotion points in his account?

She couldn't help but look up at the clouds, and sure enough, she saw several familiar dragon figures. She immediately smiled and waved to greet them.

"Hi, Uncle Yan, Uncle Hei! Aunt Hong, Aunt Lan! Good morning!"

"Oh, good morning, Shuan!"

"Be careful when you fly on your sword, sweetie."

"Your auntie told you to come over for dinner, why didn't you come, child?"

Hearing the kind words, Shen Shuan chuckled. Dragon Island is wonderful; it's another happy day.

"Auntie, I'll definitely go next time. I have to go see Xuan Yi about something!"

As soon as Shen Shu'an finished speaking, he immediately increased his magical output, and a cold light split the clouds, leaving behind a white stream of air.

The girl on the sword was dressed in blue and white, her high ponytail fluttering in the wind, looking heroic and dashing.

Shen Shu'an couldn't help but sigh again, "What a fine sword! It's truly a fine sword!"

That's right, Shen Shu'an named this sword "Good Sword," which is simple and clear.

And they decided that even if they changed their swords, the name would continue.

Because what is being passed down is not just the name, but also the sister's affection!

"Sister, I wonder if your breakthrough to the Golden Core stage went smoothly? This sword is really quite good!" Shen Shu'an thought to herself, while sending her blessings to Shen Wanqiu: "Wishing you a smooth breakthrough, sister!"

At this moment, a system notification sounded: [Host, today's task completed. Reward: 10 points.]

Shen Shu'an nodded in satisfaction: "Yaya, you're getting better and better lately! This daily task fits my schedule perfectly!"

"That's right, host. Now that my privileges have been upgraded, I can specify task details within a certain range."

Shen Shu'an sighed inwardly. She still hadn't figured out the hidden achievement from that day, but the mission reward was really tempting.

And although she is still in the Qi Refining stage, she can faintly sense the things around her.

But divine sense is something that can only be obtained at the Golden Core stage. If she has divine sense when she is at the Foundation Establishment stage, wouldn't that be a dimensional reduction attack on other cultivators of the same period?

Shen Shuan rode his sword all the way to the Dragon Palace, arriving in just over ten minutes.

A week has passed since I asked for advice that night.

Although we gave Xuan Yi time to consider, this consideration has been going on for far too long.

Does he really have to think about it for half a month? She's gone, what's the point of him staying alone on Dragon Island?

On Dragon Island, apart from her, he rarely spoke to any other dragons. Without her, who would bring him a good lunch, and who would talk to him?

Most importantly, if Xuan Yi doesn't go, who will contribute her emotional points?

Shen Shu'an silently shed tears ┭┮﹏┭┮.

Xuan Yi had been watching Shen Shu'an for a long time. When Shen Shu'an arrived, he teleported from the top of the Dragon Palace to the second-floor terrace.

Because he knew that Shen Shu'an wouldn't use the door.

Sure enough, just as the girl was about to crash into the Dragon Palace, she suddenly swung her flying sword horizontally, gracefully leaped onto the terrace, and sheathed her sword.

The next second, "Hey, Xuan Yi!"

The girl's clear voice rang out, and the soft sunlight shone on Shen Shu'an's healthy glow, softening the smile on her lips.

She was tall and slender with beautiful features. Her hair was simply tied up with a single hairpin, without any complicated hair accessories.

I remember just a few days ago she was saying she wanted to get a neat and tidy short haircut.

She asked for his opinion, and what did he say? "Either is fine."

Good morning, Shen Shuan.

Shen Shuan stepped forward, leaned against the railing of the terrace, and glanced at Xuan Yi.

"We're so familiar with each other, yet you still call me by my full name, as if we're not that close."

Xuan Yi looked at the girl bathed in sidelight, his gaze involuntarily falling on the lifelike sunflower hairpin in the sunlight: "Don't you also call me Xuan Yi?"

Shen Shu'an blinked: "It's different, because your name has two characters."

However, Shen Shu'an didn't dwell on it and asked, "You finally have a day off today, what are you planning to do?"

Xuan Yi raised his hand, and a set of table and chairs appeared in front of the two of them. He sat down first: "You have already reached the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining? Why not break through today, so you can learn some new spells from Aunt Mei tomorrow?"

"Or, how about I practice swordsmanship with you?"

Shen Shu'an sat down in the chair and listened to Xuan Yi's words. She looked up at the person opposite her.

My gaze swept over that seemingly indifferent face, yet this same person could now engage in a lively conversation with me.

Shen Shu'an was momentarily dazed. In just one month, their relationship had become so good?

Was it because she always talked to him, played with him, practiced magic together, and discussed escape techniques?

At first, it was just for emotional value, but later, it also became genuine.

After all, even without Xuan Yi, she was alone on Dragon Island.

That feeling was the same as when she was alone in the orphanage in her previous life.

Shen Shu'an lowered his head, picked up his teacup, took a small sip, concealed the expression in his eyes, shook his head, and said with little interest, "You're already at the peak of the Golden Core stage, there's no point in fighting with you."

"And how did your Transfiguration skills improve so quickly?"

The girl spoke with a hint of disappointment, but her icy blue eyes still curved into a smile.

After all, she knew best that Xuan Yi's emotional state every night was proof of his hard work and staying up late.

How can this not be considered her motivation?

In just one week, both transformation techniques were mastered.

Look at this person now.

Her black hair reached her waist, held up by a jade hairpin. She was eight feet tall, with extremely deep-set eyes and brows.

At this moment, her eyes were slightly lowered, and her eyelashes partially obscured her golden pupils, adding to her air of nobility.

His nose was straight, and his lips, neither thin nor thick, were slightly pursed.

"If you're improving, then Xuan Yi, have you secretly made yourself more handsome?"

Shen Shu'an had a strong suspicion that she wanted her friend to be happy and handsome.

But I never imagined he was doing so well and was so handsome!

Shen Shuan gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.

She simply couldn't think of any flaws in her life other than being an orphan, all alone, lonely, and utterly bored.

Okay, thinking about it this way, there are still quite a few drawbacks.

Xuan Yi looked at the person opposite him, raising an eyebrow speechlessly: "Didn't you see what I looked like when I was young?"

At first, he was puzzled as to why Shen Shuan would sometimes get angry when she looked at him.

But ever since that afternoon nap, I saw Shen Shu'an muttering something while she was asleep—

"The Crown Prince also made me want to be a princess and live in the Dragon Palace. I'm so envious..."

After that, Xuan Yi understood.

Recalling the scene from that day, he couldn't help but smile slightly as he looked at Shen Shu'an: "What's wrong now?"

"I study Transfiguration diligently every night, but you can master it in just two days."

He explained, his tone remaining calm and unhurried.

With that face that seemed to have been born into nobility, for some reason, it was just infuriating.

Shen Shuan clutched her chest, closed her eyes briefly, and then looked up at the gold and spirit stones inlaid on the balcony railing.

Turning around, she said seriously, "Xuan Yi, I'm serious, can I stay at the Dragon Palace for a few days?"

"Waaah, I'm starting to resent the rich."
