A man and a woman were soaking in a hot spring, their clothes in disarray, wrapped in each other's arms, making it all too easy for things to escalate.
Especially since she was dazed by his charm, while he was ignited by her allure.
But would things develop as beautifully as they seemed?
Of course, the supporting characters who were just there to stir up trouble would make their timely entrance.
Just then, the Second Young Master of the Yan Family stormed in, brandishing his sword and abruptly interrupting Yan Fei's romantic escapade.
Yao Guang felt a mix of relief and disappointment.
In truth, with the continuous development of the times, the Heavenly Realm was no longer as conservative and rigid as before.
The story of elopement that had long been told as a bedtime tale to the eighteen maidens by the old man was the best example.
The Heavenly Emperor's sister had already set a precedent for unions between celestial beings and demons, so it was not appropriate to impose overly strict regulations.
The Heavenly Realm needed to reform and keep pace with the times, didn't it?
So, spending a night of romance here wasn't really a big deal, as long as—no one ended up dead.
Oh no, how did I let slip the unspoken rules of the Heavenly Realm?
Ahem, returning to the matter at hand, Yao Guang felt both disappointed and quite pleased yet hesitant.
After subduing the Second Young Master Yan, Yan Fei carried him home like a chick in her grasp.
Before leaving, Yan Fei hung a piece of jade around her neck, claiming it was a gift for her, and reminded her to pack her things and return to Yan's mansion without any thoughts of staying out overnight.
Seeing the Heart Knot she had longed for, her eyes filled with tears that spilled over.
This meant that her mission had been successfully completed, a joyous occasion worthy of celebration with firecrackers.
Yet, at the same time, she felt an inexplicable attachment to this place, reluctant to leave.
Here was Yan Fei, something she could not find in the modern world.
The modern world had Computers, but this place did not.
As the saying goes, one cannot have both fish and bear's paws!
Yao Guang sighed inwardly while packing her belongings.
Now, the question lay before her: to return or not to return?
In the end, she gritted her teeth and made the tough decision to go back.
"I... I'm back..." Traveling through time was no fun for someone with low magical power like her; it was nothing short of a nightmare.
The scenes in novels where one could easily travel through time with a sneeze or a wave of the hand were mere fantasies!
She exerted every ounce of strength to finally return to the modern world, collapsing onto the ground like a puddle of mud, utterly exhausted.
The house had not been cleaned for a month and was as messy as a garbage dump. After just a short while, a small army of ants began to crawl over her, mistaking her for food and biting her fiercely.
And the culprit behind all this mess— matchmaker —sat in front of the Computer, focused intently on typing away at the keyboard.
The screen displayed the scene from a certain online game, and Yao Guang could only glance at it before being shocked into silence.
The Old Man was actually playing the game using her account!
Oh my goodness, not only had he been wiped out by the enemy team, but he had also been kicked out of the guild and was now being cursed at by thousands in the chat.
This clueless newbie, Old Man!
Filled with rage and despair, she jumped up, threw the Heart Knot around Old Man's neck, and then kicked him away while shouting, "Get lost!"
Old Man crawled out from the pile of debris, holding the Heart Knot, tears of joy streaming down his face. "Oh ho ho ho—Yao Guang, you're back! You finally got it... Wait a minute, the Heart Knot is a pair! Why is there only one?"
"What?!"
Thus, the unfortunate Yao Guang was once again sent back to ancient times by matchmaker.
Since it took some time to buy a new iPad, she returned there on the third day.
Old Man's time-traveling skills hadn't improved at all; she still fell from the sky.
The difference this time was that there was a "Meat Cushion."
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die..."
The Meat Cushion kept moaning in agony, and that voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Yao Guang jumped down with her heavy burden, only to find that the package had come loose. The iPad batteries fell like petals in a rainstorm, all landing on the Meat Cushion.
Looking at his bruised and battered face, it was hard to recognize Second Young Master Yan in such a disheveled state.
"Are you... okay?" she asked cautiously.
"You wicked woman, next time I swear I'll kill you..."
The threat was abruptly cut off as someone twisted Second Young Master Yan's ear sharply.
"It seems the lessons from these past few days haven't been enough," Yan Fei said with a cold smirk, his eyes devoid of any warmth, filled instead with icy disdain.
"Big... Brother, I was wrong! I was wrong!" With a pitiful scream, Second Young Master Yan was flung away by Yan Fei, disappearing from sight.
Meanwhile, several streets away from Yan's mansion, a "human bomb" suddenly dropped down, creating a large crater in the street.
Putting aside the commotion surrounding Second Young Master Yan, Yan Fei merely clapped his hands lightly and shot a sidelong glance at Yao Guang before brushing past her.
His long black hair flew wildly in the wind.
He was angry! Perhaps it was because she had taken the Heart Knot and left without a word.
Yao Guang silently followed behind him, struggling to find a way to diffuse Yan Fei's anger.
