Chapter 1081

At first, Ichika, Yoyō, and Satsuki didn't understand Sanjiu's idea.

Until they went to Dalaotian and met Zhang Taixuan in person, her thoughts changed instantly, becoming identical to Nakano Sanjiu's, and she joined Nakano Sanjiu's game.

"I never thought Sanjiu liked Warring States generals and wanted to play a general game with Brother Taixuan!"

Nakano Sanjiu remembered the game and felt how bold she had been back then; her fair, jade-like cheeks flushed crimson as she shot back defiantly: "Ichika, you're no different—you wanted to play roleplay with Brother Taixuan too!"

"Stop talking, stop talking," Nakano Satsuki covered her face. "If you keep going, what will it turn into?"

She didn't even know what had come over her back then—she'd just dazedly joined in.

Now she thought about it, her heart had pounded wildly, as if she'd been drunk.

Nakano Nino sniffed: "What's there to fear? Everyone will go through this eventually! Hmph, and that Sigong Huiye and Hayasaka Ai were there too, ruining our fun."

Nakano Sanjiu sighed: "They knew Brother Taixuan long before we did. Honestly, it was us who intruded on them."

"Hmph," Nakano Nino shook her head. "Love doesn't follow first-come, first-served. Sanjiu, you believe that too much—you'll get hurt."

Nakano Ichika's expression turned foxlike. "That's right, Sanjiu. When you get the chance, strike hard—never show weakness. When the time comes, call me too—I'll help you share the burden."

Nakano Sanjiu was speechless: "Isn't that last line the only thing you really wanted to say? Fine, let's go back. We have no idea how much time has passed—if we're late for school, it'll be bad."

Nakano Ichika's expression was like a fox's as she said, "That's right, Mikki. When you find a chance, you have to strike—absolutely never show weakness. When the time comes, call your big sister along too. Big sister will help you share

Nakano Satsuki gasped in alarm. "We forgot about school!"

Nakano Yotsuya was speechless: "That last line is what you really wanted to say, isn't it? Fine, let's head back. We have no idea how much time has passed—if it makes us late for school, that wouldn't be good."

Nakano Nino was unconcerned. "We're practically divine beings now—whether we attend school or not doesn't matter."

With that, the group returned to their home.

They pulled out their phones, checked the time, and found only a few hours had passed—immediately relaxing.

The time flow discrepancy was naturally Zhang Taixuan's doing.

He supported the five sisters' desire to enjoy school life.

Nakano Yoyō was astonished: "We stayed there for a month, yet only a few hours passed in our world? Does that mean we can go to Taixuan's realm every weekend?"

Nakano Sanjiu's eyes lit up: "Exactly!"

Nakano Nino: "Great idea!"

Nakano Satsuki felt uneasy—eager yet shy: "Are we really going again?"

"If you don't want to go, the rest of us will go alone," Nakano Ichika smiled lightly. "You can just buy some meat buns for meals."

"No way!" Nakano Satsuki's eyes hardened. "If you're all going, I'm going too. We're sisters—we face everything together."

Nakano Yoyō giggled: "I knew you wanted to go too."

"I did not!" Nakano Satsuki denied, embarrassed. "I'm just tagging along with you!"

"I don't want to." Hearing this, Nakano Itsuki's gaze grew firm. "If you're all going, of course I'm going too. We're sisters, after all—we naturally advance and retreat together."

They humored her, watched TV for a while, then went to rest.

In the week that followed, the Nakano sisters shocked the entire school.

Perfect scores in every subject, athletic prowess in all sports.

In an instant, they rose from the bottom of the class to become the school's #1.

The teachers at first refused to believe it; after verification, they reluctantly accepted that the Nakano sisters were all geniuses.

When Nakano Maruo heard the news, he wept with joy and brought the five Nakano sisters to Zero's grave.

"Zero, Ichika and the others have all become accomplished!"

At first the teachers didn't believe it. Only after a round of verification did they helplessly accept the fact that all five Nakano sisters were geniuses.

Hearing this, Ichika and the others felt slightly embarrassed.

They weren't just smarter—they'd become adults too.

Would their mother be angry if she knew?

Nakano Ichika and the others, hearing this, instead felt a bit embarrassed.

Three years had passed in the Han world.

After three years of development, the Han world had changed.

Modern high-yield crops, modern technology, and transcendent immortal arts.

The people's lives had improved a thousandfold—even commoners had more food than they could eat, could have meat every meal, no different from people in the future.

No, because of infrastructure issues and because Liu Che had not intervened personally,

the people of this era had not yet experienced the changes brought by modern information technology.

Aside from civilian life, there was the military.

In three years, Liu Che trained a force of twenty thousand elite soldiers, based on the Nine Divine Spells of Taixuan.

Each soldier could fight as if he were a thousand men.

Aside from civilian affairs, it was military matters.

In three years, Liu Che trained a force of twenty thousand fierce soldiers, based on the Nine Divine Incantations of Taixuan.

Each of these soldiers could hold off a thousand.
