A Moonlit Encounter
Yang Kai stepped through the rift, reappearing inside his hut, just as he had anticipated.
And just as expected—
A stunning woman lay on his bed.
The moonlight filtered through the hole in the roof, casting a soft, silver glow over the room. Its gentle rays bathed the sleeping beauty, highlighting every delicate curve of her figure.
Her folded hands rested lightly over her stomach, her chest rising and falling in a slow, rhythmic breath.
Her pale, jade-like skin shimmered under the soft glow, contrasting against the long, silky black hair that spilled around her head like a dark halo.
A thin cicada veil concealed the lower half of her face, adding an air of mystery, but the small blue gem on her forehead gleamed like a frozen star, complementing the ethereal aura she radiated.
From her slender waist to her exquisitely sculpted legs, every inch of her body seemed to defy mortal beauty, like a goddess descended from the heavens.
Yang Kai stood still for a moment, silently admiring the sight before him.
His past self would have been too overwhelmed to even look at her properly.
But now?
Now, he could only scoff at his past life's misfortune.
"Tsk. The old Yang Kai really had trash luck."
Shaking his head, he focused on what truly mattered.
📜 SYSTEM NOTIFICATION – SIGN-IN REWARDS
🔹 Ding! Host has reached the destination. Would you like to sign in?
"Yes."
🔹 Ding! Daily Sign-in completed!
🔹 Reward: Incubus Constitution
🔹 Ding! Rewards stored. Would you like to redeem them now?
"No."
Yang Kai ignored the system prompt for now, fully aware that the Incubus Constitution would likely cause unnecessary trouble if activated immediately.
Instead, he focused on the next step of his plan.
He carefully approached the bed.
Then, activating his Clone Technique, he changed the clone's face before silently leaving the room, allowing the clone to execute his plan.
The moment the clone moved closer, the sleeping beauty stirred.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and a pair of clear, intelligent eyes slowly opened.
As she began to rise, the clone suddenly gripped her wrist, preventing her from moving further.
Immediately, panic flashed across her eyes.
Her body tensed as she instinctively circulated her cultivation, preparing to attack.
But before she could, her power vanished—completely suppressed as if it never existed.
Her breathing became uneven.
For the first time in her life—
She felt powerless.
❄ "Who… are you?"
The woman's calm voice held a trace of wariness.
But the clone remained silent, merely advancing closer.
Just as the tension in the air grew unbearable—
A familiar voice rang out.
🗡 "Oi, what are you doing?"
Her head snapped toward the doorway, eyes lighting up in recognition.
"Help!"
Her voice, though weak, carried a sense of relief and desperation.
Standing there was none other than the real Yang Kai, arms crossed casually, his sharp gaze fixed on his own clone.
Without another word, he took a fighting stance.
And in an instant—
🔥 A Battle of Equals!
The clone launched forward, delivering a fierce punch, which Yang Kai countered with equal force.
BOOM!
The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the hut, obliterating what little remained of the fragile wooden walls.
Xia Ning Chang, still weakened from the previous suppression, sat stunned on the ground.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible?! These are two cultivators of the same level clashing!"
She had never seen a battle of this intensity in this small world.
As the battle intensified, their movements became so fast that they blurred across the battlefield, leaving behind afterimages and explosions of power.
The entire area shook violently, the once quiet hut now reduced to rubble.
💥 "Who… the hell are you?"
The clone smirked, wiping a trace of dust off his face.
"I should be asking you the same thing. A cultivator like you shouldn't exist here."
Yang Kai scoffed.
"Funny. I was about to say the same thing to you."
The clone chuckled darkly.
"Ha-ha… Nice, nice. You're strong, boy. It's been a long time since I fought someone at my level."
Then, he glanced at Xia Ning Chang, eyes flashing with mischief.
"But tell me, what's your relationship with that girl?"
Yang Kai's expression turned cold.
"She's my Senior Sister."
In the next moment, he delivered a crushing blow to the clone's stomach, sending it flying backward.
The clone skidded across the ground, coughing slightly before smirking again.
"Boy, you're good. Let's meet again someday."
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes.
"Who said you could leave?"
Before the clone could react, Yang Kai found a flaw in his defense—
And with a swift, decisive kick, he struck just below the chest, causing the clone to dissipate into thin air.
The battle was over.
🌸 The Aftermath – A Moment of Vulnerability
Yang Kai turned toward Xia Ning Chang, who had been silently sitting among the ruins.
"Are you alright?"
Instead of answering, she suddenly rushed into his arms, trembling.
Yang Kai's eyes widened in surprise.
Her delicate frame pressed against him, her breathing still shaky from the overwhelming events.
But then—
Something hard poked against her navel.
A small, awkward silence followed.
Xia Ning Chang froze.
Yang Kai's face twitched.
In an instant, her face turned completely red, steam practically rising from her head.
She immediately jumped back, glaring at him with a mix of embarrassment and shyness.
"Shameless!" she squeaked, her voice barely a whisper.
Yang Kai rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.
"Uh… sorry, Senior Sister. I wasn't expecting you to—"
She cut him off with a harrumph, her face still burning red.
But then, after a moment, she whispered softly—
"…Thank you."
Yang Kai, despite his enhanced hearing, almost didn't catch it.
He smiled lightly. "Anytime, Senior Sister."
Xia Ning Chang, still recovering, looked at him hesitantly.
"Junior Brother… what is your cultivation level?"
Yang Kai's smile deepened.
"Three realms beyond this world's peak."
Her eyes widened in pure shock.
As he began explaining basic cultivation knowledge, she silently stared at him, her mind racing.
"Just… who are you, Junior Brother?"
