The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

The morning light pierced the room through the window cracks, and the dust motes in the air danced in the light. The scent of the morning light also slipped into the room through the cracks, waking the fairy from a good night's sleep.

Feng Yu held the sleepy fairy tightly, his warm lips pressed against her forehead: "Awake? It's still early, sleep a little longer."

"Mmm." Still savoring the dream, Shen Yao closed her eyes again, burying her head in Feng Yu's arms, enjoying the warmth and sense of security.

Back in the cage, her husband kept kissing her hair and gently patting and stroking her back with his large hand.

Shen Yao snuggled up to him, nuzzling against his neck, her voice lazy and groggy from just waking up: "Are you comforting the baby?"

"Mmm." The immortal's voice was hoarse, carrying a heart-stirring allure: "You are my baby."

Shen Yao looked up and smiled at him. The unease from last night seemed to have vanished completely, and neither of them mentioned it.

The couple hugged for a while with their eyes open, and Feng Yu asked her, "Can't you sleep?"

Shen Yao's fingers teased his Adam's apple: "Can't sleep? Can we do something else?"

Feng Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, her voice growing even hoarse: "Yanzhou, wait a little longer, wait until I'm better..."

Shen Yao complained, "If your scars don't heal, will you have to be a vegetarian forever? Husband, you're too good at holding back."

Feng Yu's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he boldly teased her, "What? My wife can't hold back anymore?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Yao playfully punched his chest, then scrambled to her feet, dressed quickly, and got out of bed without a second thought. She glared at him before leaving the bedroom.

The immortal lord on the bed closed his eyes. After a night of wild thoughts and anxiety, he could finally sleep peacefully for a while.

Shen Yao opened the window of the stands. It was still early, and Huo Die hadn't gotten up yet.

She pushed the right door a crack open, saw that her husband was asleep again, and gently closed the door, deciding to go out for breakfast first.

There was a canteen in the theater. Following Xian Tang's directions, Shen Yao ordered breakfast and found a corner by the window to wait for her Eight Treasures Congee and Pie.

There are always birds that rise earlier than the early worms. Today, the early birds spotted their target early and easily caught the early worms.

"Good morning, young lady, we meet again." Tu Xiaoxiao sat down opposite her as if they were old friends, her fox-like eyes crinkling with a smile, a perfect chance encounter.

What a coincidence! Out of politeness, Shen Yao replied with a standard smile, "Good morning."

"Haven't seen you all night, did you miss me, young lady..." Tu Xiaoxiao deliberately dragged out her words, and as Shen Yao's expression changed in alarm, she said the second half: "...the tail?"

Such blatant flirting made Shen Yao's expression unpleasant. She straightened her posture and said seriously, "I already stroked the seven-tailed fox's tail last night, and I don't want to stroke it now. If you have nothing else to say, you may return to your seat."

"So you've gotten what you wanted, young lady." Tu Xiaoxiao stood up in disappointment: "Then I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye, young lady."

As he turned to leave, the fox tails suddenly sprang out, eight snow-white, fluffy tails sweeping across Shen Yao's face and neck, and brushing past the back of her hand that was resting on the table.

Shen Yao was stunned by this fluffiness attack! Her blood rushed to her head.

This aroma! This feel! How can there be such an outrageous creature in the world!

"Ah... I'm sorry." Tu Xiaoxiao gathered her eight fox tails into her arms, her face full of apology: "I didn't mean to, I just had too many tails, sometimes I just couldn't control them..."

Shen Yao felt that he was deliberately seducing her, but she couldn't get angry at all. There was no way she could be angry when such an adorable creature was being cute.

"It's not safe to stay here any longer," Shen Yao said, then quickly walked to the counter, ordered some more breakfast, paid ten coins, and asked it to be sent to Ruyixuan. She then fled the dining hall as if she were escaping.

She walked to the entrance of Qingyi Tower and met Xiantang, who was leading her to the dining hall.

Xiantang bowed to her and said, "Honored guest, there has been a slight accident at the theater. The theater will be closed today. You may wait in your room or stay in the theater. All food and lodging expenses will be waived. The incident happened suddenly, so please bear with us."

Shen Yao asked, "What accident happened?"

Xiantang looked around and whispered to Shen Yao, covering his mouth with his hand, "I think you look kind and don't seem like the kind of person who would do evil. Let me tell you something: this morning, a distinguished guest died suddenly in his room. The murderer has not yet been found. But don't worry, the master is investigating and has also increased the patrols."

Shen Yao: "How could this happen?"

The idle hall was filled with complaints: "We didn't know! It's so hard on us. We were supposed to have a holiday, but we have to work overtime."

Shen Yao: "How long will it take to find it? What if we can't find it?"

Xiantang looked troubled: "The murderer should still be in the theater, and we don't know when we'll be able to find him."

Shen Yao also looked worried. Staying for a while wouldn't be a problem, but she had made an appointment with Lu Guoguo to pay respects to her aunt today, so she could only inform Guoguo by sending a message.

Xiantang asked considerately, "Is there something troubling you, young lady?"

Shen Yao: "No, it's just that I have to break my promise."

Xiantang looked around again and whispered to her, "If you have something to do, you can find a cultivator from one of the four major families on the third floor to vouch for you and then you can leave."

Xiantang, fearing she might not know, explained it to her clearly: "However, the cultivators from the Long, Lu, and Hua families left last night. Now, only the Tu family from Lingxiao Pavilion and Lingyu Pavilion remains."

"If you know anyone, ask them to vouch for you so as not to delay your plans."

"Even if you don't know anyone, you can still ask. The Tu family cultivators are all very nice."

Shen Yao said she understood, thanked Xiantang, and then returned to Ruyi Pavilion.

Huo Die had already gotten up, but Feng Yu was still asleep.

It was still early, and Shen Yao didn't know if Lu Guoguo was awake yet, so she decided to send her a message later.

Breakfast from the canteen was delivered quickly. Shen Yao woke Feng Yu up to eat breakfast. After breakfast, she told them what Xian Tang had said. Huo Die did some quick calculations and said, "I didn't expect that a guest would die in the theater these past two days."

That's strange. Father's calculations must be accurate, and Xiantang has no reason to lie. It's likely that the theater manager concealed the truth about the blockade.

The situation was very strange. After discussing it, everyone agreed that they couldn't stay there any longer and had to leave.

It would be easy for them to leave; they could simply force their way out, anywhere, but that would get them embroiled in trouble, turning white into black, especially since they were immortal cultivators.

Forcing their way in was definitely not an option. Fortunately, Shen Yao had added Tu Jiaojiao's WeChat last night, so she sent a message to Tu Jiaojiao asking if she could vouch for them.

Tu Jiaojiao quickly replied: "Sorry, Yaoyao, I left with Brother Longxuan last night and don't know what happened at the theater, but my second brother is still there. I'll ask him to come and help you."

Feng Yu frowned in displeasure: "Her second brother, is that the male fox from last night?"

He heard it clearly last night: Tu Jiaojiao said that her second brother, Tu Xiaoxiao, was that flirtatious eight-tailed fox demon.

Recalling the shock of the eight-tailed monster attacking her noodles in the cafeteria, Shen Yao felt a pang of guilt and didn't dare to utter a sound...
