The Undercover Villain Transmigrates, The Female Protagonists Are Worried

Jade Lake's Sacred Peak, inside a thatched cottage.

Su He prepared eight large dishes to welcome Qin Tianjiao back.

With the Jade Lake's Sacred Master absent, the two juniors were like tigers away from home, and the monkey reigned supreme, enjoying good wine and food to their heart's content.

Before long, Su He was already flushed from drinking, her eyes glazed.

"Sister, don't drink anymore, you've had too much!"

"What? Even when the Master is away, you want to control me? Let me tell you! I am the senior sister! You have to listen to me! Drink!"

Qin Tianjiao saw that Sister Papaya was already on the verge of drunken madness... He confiscated the alcohol and lifted her up, carrying her back to the bedroom. The room only had a bed where he and the Master slept. After a moment of thought, he lifted her up again and took her out of the room.

Xiao Yi's previous room was now empty. Qin Tianjiao threw Su He onto the bed, but she was still struggling to continue drinking.

"Go to sleep! What's the point of drinking!"

Qin Tianjiao lay down and held Su He in his arms. Before long, the woman in his arms began to breathe evenly.

Familiar surroundings and familiar people always bring the greatest comfort to the heart. Before long, Qin Tianjiao fell asleep too.

The next morning.

Qin Tianjiao was awakened by an itchy sensation in his nostrils. Without opening his eyes, he reached out his hand.

"Smack..."

"Ouch..."

Su He felt a sharp slap on her back, causing a burning sensation, and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"You naughty brother!"

"The touch is nice, let me massage you..." Qin Tianjiao smirked.

"Hmph... you know your place..."

Five minutes later...

"Tianjiao, no need to massage me, I'm not in pain anymore..." Su He said softly.

"Tianjiao, can you tell me what has happened in these three and a half years? Why did the Master suddenly go into seclusion? Did she get mad at you?"

"Not really? Maybe the Master had some insights in her cultivation? You've made quite a big change in these three years. Little Mountain God and I have traveled hundreds of miles around here. Even the birds and beasts are scared off when they hear our names!"

"You're amazing, Junior Brother! No wonder there are so few Spirit Beasts now... they must have been scared off by you."

"That's nothing. We even ate the son of the Sect Leader's mount! If it wasn't for the Sect Leader's personal plea, his mount wouldn't have been spared!"

As Qin Tianjiao bragged, the story became more and more exaggerated... The mount of the Sect Leader was a thousand-year-old spiritual crane, and the most incredible thing was that it had quite a talent for Sword Dao!

Its two wings had been trained into flying swords, and every time it attacked, thousands of feathers poured out like a rain of swords...

It had the strength of the Unfettered Realm's peak cultivation level, just one step away from becoming a Great Monster King in the Self-Liberation Realm.

But Su He was already in awe... even the heavens would shake their heads at this!

"Ah... Junior Brother, you've had such an exciting three years, and I wasn't by your side. It's all the Master's fault for making me go into seclusion..." Su He pouted disappointedly.

"It's also because you're too lazy, even though you have the Wood Spirit physique and good talent, with enough cultivation resources. If you had worked harder, you wouldn't have ended up like this..." Qin Tianjiao said.

"Hey... don't move, let's have a good chat!" Su He wriggled and said.

"I'm not weak either. I've already reached the Transcendent Realm. Besides, the Master is so powerful, I can never surpass her even if I cultivate until death... and you're so powerful, you'll protect me, right?"

"But if your cultivation level remains low, one day, the Master and I will dig a pit on the back mountain and bury an old lady with white hair, full of wrinkles, and a hunched body."

Qin Tianjiao felt Sister Papaya's body stiffen in his arms...

"...I don't want to be buried alone, I want to be buried with you, Tianjiao..."

Su He felt sad, helpless...

"Sister, you have the Wood Spirit physique, eating a Flat Peach will greatly benefit you..."

"Eat a Flat Peach... last time I took you to the Flat Peach Garden, we were in big trouble... the Elder said if I took you there again, he would skin me alive..." Su He said with some trepidation. As the caretaker of the Flat Peach trees, Su He had revealed the secret key to the Flat Peach Garden to Qin Tianjiao, which allowed him to successfully sneak into the garden.

After several reprimands from the Elder, he had completely lost patience with these two incorrigible rascals...

"Why did you have to steal? You're so useless! Let's go get them openly this time!"

"You're crazy, Junior Brother! The Elder is now guarding the Flat Peach Garden every day. Whenever I go there, he keeps an eye on me, scaring me... Oh! Speaking of scaring, I remember, that guy surnamed Xiao you brought back from the mountain is dead!" Su He said.

"Who??? Xiao Auntie is dead???"

Qin Tianjiao was shocked, and the image of that stunning beauty instantly appeared in his mind.

Back when he first arrived, it was Auntie Xiao who comforted his young heart with her warm embrace...

"It's not Auntie Xiao, it's Auntie Xiao's son who died. They say he jumped off a cliff. His clothes were found under the cliff in the back mountain, along with a large pool of blood... and some body parts... it's pretty certain he's dead."

"Xiao Yi... at least it's not Auntie Xiao..." Qin Tianjiao's heart sank and then lifted again.

But then he felt something was off!

"System, wouldn't I be notified if a Son of Fortune I've interacted with dies?"

[Ding! The death of a Son of Fortune under your control will trigger a notification for the host. Wild Sons of Fortune do not belong to the host, so there is no notification.]

"Ah, even though Xiao Yi didn't meet the performance targets, he was still a valuable asset. Now he's gone..."

Qin Tianjiao felt a bit sad. He had not only saved him but also healed his leg, and brought him to the Jade Lake Sacred Land, yet he had quietly passed away. Was this how he repaid the cultivation he received from this Saint Child?

Now that he was gone, Auntie Xiao would be devastated!

"Hey? Where are you going, Junior Brother Tianjiao?"

Su He, watching Qin Tianjiao sit up and prepare to get out of bed, asked.

"You go back to sleep. I'm going to see Auntie Xiao. She's also my maid, I can't ignore her. You don't need to follow. When you wake up, start cultivating!"

"Why are you being so mean... Cultivate! Cultivate! Defeat the Master! Take back Junior Brother! Just five more minutes... the last five minutes..."

Qin Tianjiao flew through the air, and the disciples of Jade Lake who saw him return all greeted him with enthusiasm, some subtly, some flirtatiously, and some even blew kisses...

With something on his mind, Qin Tianjiao didn't linger as he usually did, and quickly arrived at the residence of the inner sect.

Seeing the door of the small courtyard, Qin Tianjiao felt as if he had returned to the scene of knocking on Auntie Xiao's door for the first time in Cloud State.

"Knock, knock..."

"Who's there?"

"It's me..."

"Tian... Tianjiao..."

*Creak...*

The door opened, and Auntie Xiao, whose appearance hadn't changed at all, was already in tears... these three years had been too hard for her... the sorrow and helplessness in her heart weighed on her like a mountain.

And the person who had once sheltered her from the wind and rain had finally come...
