Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 354 Believe it or not, I'll use you as a sacrifice to the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

I must say, the Three Immortals Brew brought by Bixiao is really delicious.

For the first time since arriving in this world, Yu Ding had a wonderful sleep.

I also had a dream.

He dreamt of some happy things from his past life, so much so that a smile appeared on his lips.

"The earth shakes the high hills, a landscape of streams and mountains has been beautiful for a thousand years; the gate faces the sea, where three rivers converge and flow for ten thousand years!"

"Odd signs change, even signs remain the same; the sign is determined by the quadrant!"

"Any object, when not acted upon by an external force or by a balanced force, will always remain at rest or in uniform linear motion until an external force acts on it, forcing it to change this state."

"The red sun rises in the east..."

As the melody of the last seven words began, Yu Ding suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

Before dawn, the traditional string and wind instruments were still playing, and the courtesan in the courtyard was still performing her song.
Bixiao was cracking sunflower seeds and tapping her legs to the rhythm, looking completely absorbed.

It all seems like it just happened a short while ago.

"A dream of the brothel?"

Yu Ding lowered his head and pondered for a moment before glancing at Bi Xiao.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was really listening to the music and seemed unaware of anything.

The events in his dream were his biggest secret, one he kept hidden from everyone, and naturally, he couldn't tell anyone.

It seems I can't go to sleep easily... Yu Ding shook his head. He just wanted to relax but ended up having a dream.

"Hey, Yu Ding, you woke up so quickly?"

Bixiao saw Yuding get up and exclaimed, "Or have you been pretending to be asleep all along?"

Yu Ding stared straight at her, then fell straight down.

"You..." Bixiao was so angry that she wanted to punch Yuding, but she had to give up when she remembered the relationship between Yuding and Yang Jian.

Soon after, the courtesan finished her song and was greeted with thunderous applause.

Then she began to act as the atmosphere ambassador, coordinating with ten guests in the courtyard to play some drinking games and pitch-pot games. The losers had to pay money and drink alcohol.

Yu Ding was 'drunk' and passed out, so he naturally didn't count, but Bi Xiao, the 'young master' next to him, couldn't escape it.

How are you supposed to play against players who have been around for thousands of years...? Yu Ding silently mourned for the guests around him. Fortunately, these kinds of games are constantly being updated.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep Bixiao's heart.

A mortal's lifespan is at most a hundred years, not even a fraction of Bixiao's.

Wandering through kilns that are thousands of years old—cough cough, a place of refined elegance—even a pig would become a master of seduction.

To put it bluntly, these people are not even in the same league as Bixiao.

As expected, Bixiao could easily win these games even without using her immortal power; even the calculation ability of mortals in Go was no match for her.

After several rounds of games, Bixiao lost a few rounds as well.

Soon it was late at night, and the courtesan excused herself that she was tired and went back to her room, leaving only a group of refined gentlemen eagerly waiting.

"Run away, run away!"

Bixiao sneaked over, grabbed Yuding, and tried to run away.

"What's the point of strolling around at this hour? Do you own a house in this city?" Yu Ding remained motionless.

Bixiao became anxious: "No, Brother Yuding, it's time for you to wake up."

Yu Ding asked groggily, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Your sister's here?"

All the guests turned to look at them, and then their faces broke into knowing smiles.

This brother-in-law is something else, bringing his brother-in-law to such a fun place...

Bixiao's face darkened as he transmitted his voice, "No, Brother Yuding, are you really unaware or pretending not to know? Everyone is waiting for the courtesan to stay overnight!"

Yu Ding rolled his eyes: "I already said it's my first time here, how would I know?"

Just then, a maid came out of the courtesan's room and came to Bixiao, saying, "My mistress invites Biyu to come in for tea."

"You actually used a fake name..." Yu Ding looked at Bi Xiao in surprise, only to see Bi Xiao roll her eyes back, as if to say, "Who comes here using their real name?"

Yu Ding thought about it and it seemed to make sense. If even the voice and appearance had been changed, how could the name not be changed?

"It's all your fault, this time there's even more trouble."

Bixiao silently transmitted her voice: "Go find somewhere to deal with this yourself."

"This trouble is your own doing, it's all my fault for making yourself so handsome. Who would even look at you if you were as ordinary as me?" Yu Ding declared that he wouldn't take the blame.

Bixiao, who was walking, paused, turned around and looked the unremarkable jade cauldron up and down, and said with disdain, "I'd rather go through the trouble."

Yu Ding: ...

Since the courtesan had kept the guests there, the guests were naturally unwilling but had no choice but to leave.

As they left, they all glanced at Yu Ding, their eyes filled with sympathy.

I brought my brother-in-law along to play, but he ended up paying for everything and then snatched it away from me so I wouldn't get to play! What a terrible person!

A middle-aged man in his forties put his arm around Yu Ding's shoulder as they left the brothel. He said earnestly, "Brother, as someone who's been there, I have to tell you, next time you go out to have fun, just go alone."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't bring anyone else, it's best to go alone, especially your brother-in-law, otherwise it's a waste of money and you won't have any fun."

Yu Ding glanced at the middle-aged man who had his arm around his shoulder with a strange expression.

It's no exaggeration to say that even the slightest movement of his shoulder could reduce this mortal to ashes.

However, he still explained confidently, "I never bring money when I go out to play, so this money isn't mine."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, the crowd looked at Yu Ding with even more sympathy.

The middle-aged man sighed, "No, brother. Alas, a man without economic power is like someone with a broken spine. Take care."

Then they clasped their hands in a fist salute to the jade cauldron and left one by one.

Even after walking a distance, they kept shaking their heads, expressing their sympathy for the man's plight.

Yu Ding: ? ? ?
"The dignified Jade Cauldron Immortal finally made it to the mortal realm, and was even pitied by a group of mortals."

Suddenly, Bixiao appeared on the wall, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard she was doubled over: "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Yu Ding: (▼⊿▼)
It seems that good looks really do have power!
He looked up at Bixiao, who was still laughing uncontrollably, and said, "Have you laughed enough? Do you believe I'll use you as a sacrifice for my Immortal-Slaying Sword?"

While wiping away tears of laughter, Bixiao said leisurely, "Is that so? Then I can only resort to the Golden Dragon Scissors."

"Without that treasure, the Golden Dragon Scissors will be difficult to deal with..." Yu Ding snorted, "Are you so happy to be my brother-in-law?"

Bixiao was even happier: "Come on, which of my two older sisters do you fancy? Just say the word, and I'll deliver it to your door."

Yu Ding's face darkened further. He realized that Bi Xiao's shamelessness had put him in a very passive position.

And it seems like they're always trying to push it out!
"Do you still want to be with my disciple?" Yu Ding pulled out his trump card.

Upon hearing this, Bixiao seemed to have lost her footing, her momentum weakened, and she leaped down from the brothel wall, saying:
"Alright, alright, Brother Yuding, I was wrong and I won't dare to do it again, okay?"

"You little brat, you think you can't be dealt with?" Yu Ding nodded slightly: "You didn't tell your sisters about my disciple setting the dog on you last time, did you?"

"I had my second sister take a look. Why are you looking at me? Don't you know how powerful your apprentice's dog is?"

Bixiao said irritably, "Didn't you see how it chopped off a piece of flesh and skin from my mouth? It hurt like hell! Who knows if that dog was poisonous?"

Qiongxiao found out... Yuding remained as calm as an old dog, but a sudden panic rose in his heart.

Rabies is 100% fatal to mortals, but this is a primitive world where gods roam everywhere, so it won't kill them.

But if it weren't an ordinary dog... Yu Ding wasn't sure if it might contain a rabies virus that could threaten the lives of immortals, so Bi Xiao's actions were correct.

If Qiongxiao finds out, Yunxiao will soon find out too.

Although he and Bixiao have become very close after exchanging secrets at the brothel, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao are still unaware of this.

If they just vent their anger by going to their door, that would be fine, but the real fear is that they'll hold a grudge and accumulate anger for the Great Tribulation of the Gods...

In an instant, Yu Ding felt the threat of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation surge by two points.

"What's wrong with my second sister? No, Yu Ding, why do you look so serious?" Bi Xiao said, "My second sister may be scary, but you don't need to be this afraid, do you?"

Who's afraid of her? I'm afraid of the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation... Yu Ding coughed and said, "I'll immediately inform my disciple to go to the Three Immortal Islands to apologize and clear up the misunderstanding."

Actually, with his current superhuman speed, he's confident he can escape from there.

After all, in the original Investiture of the Gods, after Randeng entered the formation, seeing that the situation was not good, he very disloyally abandoned the Twelve Golden Immortals and ran away.

Since Ran Deng was able to escape, there's no reason why he, as the primordial 'Flash,' couldn't escape, right?

However, his main goal was to ease tensions with the Three Immortals and avoid creating unnecessary trouble, which would also make it easier to change their fate.

Bixiao said, "There's no need for that. I can clear up this little misunderstanding."

"No, it's the teacher's fault for not being strict enough with the students. I must go in person to express my apology."

Yu Ding said solemnly, "I'll also pay a visit to those two fellow Daoists."

If this trip can resolve the misunderstanding and lead to a new friendship, that would be wonderful.

Yu Ding raised his hand, forming a sword-finger gesture. His fingertips glowed, and with a few swift strokes, he wrote a glowing letter in the air before pointing towards the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

"go with!"

Instantly, the entire letter shrank into a single point of light, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and disappeared into the night.

"So what do we do next?" Bixiao asked.

Yu Ding said, "Rest for the night, and prepare some gifts for the two fairies tomorrow."

Immediately, the two returned to the courtesan's room, where the courtesan had already fallen into a deep sleep under Bixiao's spell.

After inquiring about Yunxiao and Qiongxiao's preferences, Yuding began preparing gifts.

Qiongxiao is skilled in both medicine and poison, so Yuding naturally took out a few volumes of medical classics from the Jade Void Library as a gift.

Although Yu Ding had some knowledge of poisons, he wouldn't presume to teach this poisonous woman anything.

As for Yunxiao... the gift for her is the most difficult to find.

Because Bixiao described her eldest sister as having a quiet and calm personality, without any obvious preferences.

Finally, Yu Ding asked Yang Jian to take with him a seamless celestial robe woven from clouds, a gift from the Heavenly Court.

"Brother Yu Ding, I'm the victim here, okay?"

Bixiao looked at Yuding with a resentful expression: "Why does my sister get a gift while I get nothing?"

"Because you're so lecherous..." Yu Ding said seriously, "Can't I help you win over my clueless disciple?"

Bixiao nodded in satisfaction and said with emotion, "Brother Yuding, I regret not having met you sooner. How come I didn't realize you were such a good teacher and friend sooner?"

“I am a member of the Jade Void Sect. Your prejudice against me is a mountain that blocks your wise vision.”

Yu Ding said, "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move it, but fortunately you moved it yourself, so it's not too late now."

"No, stop. I'm starting to find you, Yu Ding, and your disciples pleasing to the eye."

Bixiao raised her hand and said, "The rest of you are still the same. It's fine if everyone goes their own way."

Effort does pay off... Yu Ding raised an eyebrow and sighed with emotion.

If they still can't escape the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation in the future, he is now 98% confident that he and Yang Jian can escape unscathed.

"By the way, Brother Yuding, I heard from my elder sister that when you went to Biyou Palace last time, your foundation was completely destroyed and you lost all your magic power. What exactly happened, and how are you recovering now?" Bixiao asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding's expression immediately turned bitter, and he sighed, "Let bygones be bygones!"

Bixiao asked even more curiously, "No, please tell me."

I promised my master I wouldn't tell... Yu Ding sighed inwardly, otherwise he wouldn't have let go of the opportunity to play the victim.

Guanjiang Estuary, Zhenjun Temple!
Yang Jian stood in the courtyard, frowning as he looked at the glowing letters spread out before him, and sighed softly.

"The Three Immortal Maidens are indeed not so easy to deal with."

Yang Jian sighed, "My master is exhausted from running around, suffering all kinds of hardships. He even has to swallow his pride and apologize. Alas, it is my fault that my master is not at peace!"

Yang Jian immediately instructed the six brothers of Meishan to keep watch over the Guanzhou territory, then took the Heavenly Robe and headed in the direction indicated by the Jade Cauldron.

The next day, at the pool at the foot of the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Bixiao, are you ready yet?"

Yu Ding sat cross-legged by the pool at the foot of the mountain and shouted up the mountain, while Bi Xiao was bathing in the lake at the top of the mountain.

In Bixiao's words, after visiting the brothel, mortals would cover themselves with orange peels, but she had to bathe and change clothes to go back.

Otherwise... it can't be hidden!

Yu Ding's assessment of this can be summed up in just two words: professional!
To avoid dying, Yu Ding also washed himself in the pool, while Bi Xiao washed herself for almost half a day.

Yu Ding, who had endured waiting for two lifetimes, was speechless. Girls were already slow, but he didn't expect the goddesses and immortals here to be even slower.

He felt that after so long, even a layer of skin would have to be rubbed off by now, right?
"Come on, come on!"

Upon hearing those four words again, Yu Ding's face turned completely dark: "My disciple has arrived."

Whoosh! A gentle breeze followed, and Bixiao, now fully dressed, appeared: "Where? Where?"

So you can be fast too... Just as Yu Ding was about to say something, a golden light suddenly arrived from afar, landing and transforming into Yang Jian.

"Disciple pays homage to master!"

Yang Jian bowed to Yu Ding and then looked at Bi Xiao, saying somewhat awkwardly, "This junior greets Lady Bi Xiao."

"No need for guests..."

Bixiao smiled and reached out to help, but Yuding slapped her hand away and glared at her fiercely.

I've told you several times to be careful, not to take the initiative, and to use your official title when you're in a crowd...

Bixiao coughed lightly, suppressing her smile, and raised her hand in a gesture of support, saying calmly, "Erlang Zhenjun, there's no need for such formalities."

Yang Jian glanced at Yu Ding and Bi Xiao with some suspicion.

Yu Ding asked, "Did you bring the Heavenly Robe?"

Yang Jian said, "I brought it!"

Yu Ding nodded slightly: "Alright, let's go."

Yang Jian wanted to ask about Xiaotian Dog, but after being interrupted by Yu Ding, he had no choice but to shut up.

“Disciple, you fly fast on the clouds, take your master with you,” Yu Ding said deliberately.

Yang Jian was taken aback, not understanding what his master meant, but since he had already said it, he replied, "Okay."

"It seems that Yu Ding's cultivation level has not yet recovered."

Bixiao's eyes flashed, and the three of them immediately rode on clouds toward the Three Immortal Islands.

The vast land was boundless, and the East Sea was even more expansive and boundless.

Yang Jian was worried that Bi Xiao would pester him on such a long journey, but to his surprise, Bi Xiao remained indifferent and hardly said a word the whole way.

Even if they only exchanged a few words, it was with his master, and the two of them were chatting and laughing.

It seems Master has completely severed ties for me… Yang Jian’s eyes flickered with a sense of relief, wondering how Master had managed to do it.

and also……

When did Master become so close to the people of Biyou Palace?
Yu Ding gave Bi Xiao an approving look.

Bixiao nodded with a smile in her eyes, thinking about the two sentences Yu Ding had told her.

What you can't have always seems more alluring.
Those who are favored are often fearless...

Yang Jian remained silent the whole way after seeing Bi Xiao, who had reverted to her aloof fairy mode and didn't even glance at him.

The entire journey was speechless.

After a long time, the Three Immortal Islands came into view in the distance.

PS: I only wrote a little over 4,000 words today because I slept during the day. I'll go to bed early tonight and write earlier tomorrow. It's true that if you push yourself, you can adjust your sleep schedule. I'll try to update twice tomorrow. If you have any monthly tickets, please give me some to wake me up.
