Ye Guixu's heart stirred, and the bronze-colored illustration guide in his hand suddenly burst with golden radiance, instantly condensing two slender figures of light and shadow before him.
Two slender, graceful figures appeared out of thin air before him.
One had eyes like autumn water, black hair reaching down to her waist, and a high-slit black-and-red long dress, charming and bewitching.
The other wore a purple dress that trailed on the floor, with a slender waist and straight, long legs, carrying her own lazy allure that hooked one's soul.
Yet as Ye Guixu looked at the two women, he had the lingering feeling that they were much younger than in his impression-around fifteen or sixteen years old-while their figures had already developed curves, and their dresses could barely contain their contours.
Appearing in an unfamiliar environment, the two women were initially vigilant, but as their gazes landed on Ye Guixu's slightly tender face, their entire bodies shuddered and their eyes turned red.
It was as though they were seeing someone they should never have seen.
"Master."
Stepping forward simultaneously, the two women bowed slightly in salute toward Ye Guixu, the ravines of their necklines subsequently exposed as the snowy, beautiful flesh trembled.
They leaned in very close-close enough that they were practically pressing their flesh right before Ye Guixu's eyes, an alluring fragrance wrapping around the tip of his nose.
Yet the gazes of the two women never left him, as if they feared he would vanish the next second.
Ye Guixu: "???"
Although he admitted this tofu was tender, what was going on with the two of you?
So proactive? Were they this horny?
They were basically one step away from washing his face with themselves.
"Get up."
"Yes, Master."
After rising, the two women eagerly crowded close to Ye Guixu's side, pressing against him from left and right as they reached to grab his arms.
Seeing the extremely bizarre actions of the two women, Ye Guixu acted first, pinching their necks and applying slight force to lift them up.
"What on earth is going on with the two of you? You're pressing against me and pulling my arms, and your eyes look like you're seeing someone you've known for a long time. We're clearly meeting for the very first time, right? Or have you met me before?"
He understood that the Beauty Illustrated Guide bestowed loyalty, but the reaction of the two women could not be explained by the mere word "loyalty."
"Master... do you not recognize this servant anymore?"
"Master, this servant has finally seen Master again after so much difficulty..."
The voices of the two women trembled with disbelief, as if they were about to cry in the next moment.
Ye Guixu furrowed his brows deeply: "I know you?"
Of course he knew the two women because of The Legend of Qin anime.
Yet he was not a person of that world; even if the Beauty Illustrated Guide had summoned them and implanted loyalty, they had never met in person-how could they possibly know him?
Could it be that the Beauty Illustrated Guide had implanted memories of him into them?
Ye Guixu slowly relaxed his palm:
"Speak. What is actually going on with the two of you?"
After being released, both women grew weak in the body and collapsed onto the carpet, lifting their heads to look at Ye Guixu with resentful gazes, uncomprehending of why Master would treat them this way.
They exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Guixu's current state, suddenly thinking of a possibility.
Then they slowly recounted it.
"Master, this servant is Yan Lingji. When I was eight years old, I awakened the Fire Spirit Body and burned down the village, and my clansmen tied me to the sacrificial altar as a demon. It was you who saved me and taught me skills. Then you left, and this servant hasn't seen you for five years."
As Yan Lingji spoke, the corners of her eyes flushed slightly. "We waited for you for a very, very long time."
The Tide Siren followed closely, telling her story in detail.
When she was twelve years old, Ye Guixu took her away and taught her the ways of survival,
sparing her from the fate of becoming a pawn for her family and from becoming one of the Four Ferocious Generals under Ji Wuye.
However, Ye Guixu had once told her that the title Azure Sea Tide Siren felt punchier, so she had adopted Azure Sea Tide Siren as her own moniker ever since.
"Master, we waited for you for a very long time."
Listening to what the two women recounted, Ye Guixu furrowed his brow even tighter.
He had once visited the world of The Legend of Qin and changed their past?
Furthermore, according to what they said, he did not possess his current tender appearance back then, but was already grown up.
Could it be that his future self had traveled to the past of The Legend of Qin?
This left even more puzzles swirling in Ye Guixu's mind.
The gazes of the two women clung to him from left and right, filled with reliance and lingering affection, as if they feared that with a single blink he would vanish once more.
Ye Guixu temporarily pressed down the doubts in his heart.
"You are no longer in your original world now."
Ye Guixu explained some basic information about this world to the two women.
"This servant only wishes to follow Master."
The two women pressed even closer to Ye Guixu, resting their pretty faces against his thighs like two cats that had waited for a very, very long time and finally awaited their master's return home.
Their hands still clutched his trouser legs, terrified of being abandoned once again.
Seeing the two women like this, Ye Guixu instinctively raised his hand and let it land on the crowns of their heads.
The two women shuddered, then grew soft, rubbing docilely against his palm like kittens whose fur had been smoothed down, their gazes carrying satisfied affection.
"You rest here first."
Ye Guixu patted the heads of the two women, preparing to get up and take a bath.
Having stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for many days with his nerves constantly taut, it was rare to find a place to settle down, and he wanted to soak in a hot bath to sort out his thoughts.
By the way, he also wanted to sort out what was going on with these two women.
Was it true that his future self had indeed visited The Legend of Qin and changed their past?
Or had the Beauty Illustrated Guide implanted memories related to him into them?
"Master!"
The two women lifted their heads almost simultaneously, panicked and terrified as if they had returned to the exact moment five years ago when he had left.
"I'm not leaving, I'm just going to wash up."
Ye Guixu sighed, patting their heads again as if soothing two startled little beasts.
"Then this servant shall attend to Master's bath."
Learning that Ye Guixu was not leaving, the eyes of Yan Lingji and Mingzhu instantly lit up.
In the past, they had been too young and could only follow behind him to learn skills, never having the opportunity to serve Master.
Now that Master seemed to have undergone some sort of condition, his once terrifying aura completely vanished and his body had shrunk to a child's size, all the more reason for them to take care of him.
The two women stood up immediately to undress him.
Looking closely at Ye Guixu's still-tender face, both of their heartbeats accelerated.
They both remembered how unapproachable, mysterious, powerful, and terrifyingly like a god of the heavens that figure had been back then.
Now that Master had become smaller and weaker, it instead made them feel an unprecedented closeness.
This was their only opportunity to touch a "god."
Before even taking a bath, they had already launched a "face-washing" set on Ye Guixu first.
"Wait... you two?"
Sensing that the state of the two women was wrong, Ye Guixu raised his head suspiciously.
The eyes of Yan Lingji and Mingzhu were both shining and brimming with excitement, their gazes completely transcending the scope of "attending" and looking more like they were tasting some long-lost delicacy.
"Master, this servant is changing your clothes, so please rest easy."
Mingzhu lowered her head slightly, smoothly bringing Ye Guixu's face closer into her bosom, a faint flush rising across her face as her breathing quickened slightly.
This was simply too wonderful; she could finally approach Master legitimately.
"In order to better serve Master, this servant and Sister specially caught a few... um, consulted the ways of service."
Yan Lingji's technique was crisp and decisive, yet she accidentally let a slip of the tongue escape, cutting herself off in panic midway through the sentence.
Ye Guixu: "..."
Why did it feel like the two of you were more like female hoodlums?!
Yet his clothes had already been stripped away, and the two women subsequently shed their own dresses as well.
The black-and-red flame long dress and the purple lace gauze dress successively fell beside their feet, piling into a heap and revealing two undulating, curved figures.
Before he could react, the two women embraced him from left and right and walked toward the bathing pool inside the room.
