In the early hours of the morning, by the Qinhuai River, before dawn, Nie Yunzhu rose from her bed, washed up, brewed a pot of tea, and then stepped out of the small building's front door.

Is he not coming? Nie Yunzhu wondered, yet a faint hope lingered in her heart. How long had it been? Ever since he entered the Jianghu and became the leader of the Base Party, he had grown even busier. For a long time, he came every day, then once every two or three days, but now, he hadn't been seen for over half a month.

She didn't know how long this life would last. With a slight sigh, Nie Yunzhu turned and re-entered the house.

“Yunzhu…” Inside the room, Ning Yi sat calmly on a chair, his dark, bright eyes looking at Nie Yunzhu with an inexplicable sparkle.

“Ning Yi, when did you come in?” Nie Yunzhu asked, not without surprise. It seemed his martial arts had advanced even further.

“Ah…” Ning Yi gave a wry smile. He stood up, his pure white long robe swaying slightly. He walked to the window, gazing at the long, winding river, as if seeing something far off—where the sun had just risen, peeking above the clouds.

“Jumping out the window again!” Nie Yunzhu muttered. She brought the preserved egg and lean pork congee, which she prepared every day, to Ning Yi, placing it on the windowsill, before leaning her head on his shoulder.

Ning Yi embraced Nie Yunzhu from behind, looking at her apologetically. “I’ve wronged you.”

He had expected Nie Yunzhu to vent her dissatisfaction, but to his surprise, she smiled contentedly. As if in a dream, she murmured, “I’m not wronged. Even if you don’t come for a thousand days and nights, I’m not wronged. I love you, and I’m very happy.”

As she spoke, Nie Yunzhu took the preserved egg and lean pork congee and brought it to Ning Yi, gently scooping a spoonful into his mouth. At the same time, she said, “Eat quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold. I know you’re busy, very, very busy, and you have important things to do after eating. I know, deep in your heart, there has always been the girl named Yunzhu who deeply loves you…”

It seemed to be this simple happiness. Under the sunlight, Ning Yi ate the congee spoon by spoon, while the woman who had given her all for him watched him tenderly. Nie Yunzhu knew this was her man, even if she only possessed a fraction of him. She still loved him this way, without regret or resentment.

After a long while, when the congee was finished, Ning Yi told Nie Yunzhu, “I have to go.”

“Mm.” Nie Yunzhu tugged at Ning Yi’s collar, lowering her head as she said, “Be careful in everything.”

Ning Yi left, leaving behind the girl who worried about him. After a long time, she finally lifted her head. She looked up at the light, gazing at the sky at the purest angle of forty-five degrees. Nie Yunzhu stretched out her hand, as if touching the light, yet unable to grasp it. After a long while, she softly said, “I don’t like looking at the sky; I just don’t want you to see the tears I shed for you.”

As she spoke, tears had already fallen. The teardrops fell to the ground, creating no ripples. They seeped into the carpet and eventually vanished without a trace.

Suzhou.

An inn in Luoyang City.

Lu Hongti walked in from outside the door, handing a letter to Ning Yi. She sat down indifferently and, after Ning Yi finished reading the letter, asked, “Are you really going to participate in that ‘Martial Arts Convention’?”

“Is there a problem?” Ning Yi said. Ever since he obtained the martial arts manual *Lotus Manual* from a cave and diligently practiced for three years, he had already developed the ambition to become the foremost expert in the world, like “Lonely Snow Blower.” He needed challenges, he needed limits. Only then could he break through his own shackles and reach the realm of great mastery. He was not doing this for himself, but for countless beautiful women.

Because the manual stated: “To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself.” Only upon achieving great mastery could one be intimate with women; otherwise, at best, all meridians would be severed, all cultivation lost, and one would become a cripple for life. At worst, their “bananas” would be gone forever!!!

For the women who loved him, hated him, cherished him, and longed for him, he had to do this.

“Alright. I won’t stop you,” Lu Hongti said. She stood up, went behind Ning Yi, and gently embraced him. Lu Hongti then said, “Please, don’t die. No matter what, I’ll wait for you.”

Instantly, the atmosphere grew heavy. Ning Yi nodded heavily, but could this truly work?

“There are ten days left until the convention. Don’t disturb me during these days; I need to cultivate in peace!”

Lu Hongti acknowledged and walked out. Then, Ning Yi pulled out a delicate rectangular box from his embrace. The Sony brand logo on it was particularly striking!

He muttered to himself, “Damn this *Lotus Manual*, who would have known? This martial arts manual is actually a single-player WOW game! You can only gain power by completing it, but this final level, I just can’t get past it. Otherwise, I would have been able to ‘make babies’ ages ago! Damn it, which transmigrator left behind such a curse…”

And so, Ning Yi plunged into a strenuous struggle.

Day one: failure.Day two: failure.Day three: failure.Day four...Day five...Day ten: still a failure.

Ning Yi collapsed miserably onto the bed. To hell with WOW!!! This is unbearable.

Ning Yi washed up and walked out of the room. Outside, all the members of the Base Party organization were gathered, a surging crowd filling the entire inn.

“Bananas will win!”“Long live Bananas!”“Bananas are infinitely powerful!”“Bananas update a million words monthly!”

In infinite entanglement, I hereby murmur that Banana’s explosive update capability is not strong! Are there any powerful updates?! Any? Any?!

Ugh, this extra story is such a letdown…
