"From now on, I will rely on myself."

Lu Youmei took out a pair of scissors from her travel bag. Looking at her long pink hair that reached her thighs, she gritted her teeth and cut off a large section, leaving only the part that reached about her chest.

Then she took out a hairband and skillfully tied her hair up.

“From today onwards…Lu Youmei can no longer be as weak as before.”

Lu Youmei muttered to herself, preparing to walk towards the door to go out with her master, who was only slightly older than her.

Suddenly, she felt weak all over, as if some force had pressed her down to the spot.

But soon, the feeling disappeared. Although Lu Youmei hesitated, she ultimately just took it as her own illusion.

-

what happened?

Leng Yihan looked around in bewilderment.

She was completely unable to move at that moment; her body was being controlled by someone else.

She tried to speak, but no sound came out; only a strange yet familiar voice muttered to itself.

As her gaze shifted, Leng Yihan finally saw herself in the mirror—a pink-haired little girl with a ponytail.

"...?" Just as a look of doubt appeared on Leng Yihan's face, she suddenly realized something.

This is, Dewy Plum!

What happened? What just happened? I remember I just went to bed to rest for a little while because I was tired, right?

How did it suddenly turn out like this?

Even though Leng Yihan was completely baffled, she couldn't control her body, which meant... she had to use a first-person perspective to see what appeared to be Lu Youmei's memories from who-knows-how-long past.

Lu Youmei walked out of the room, and Leng Yihan immediately recognized the person standing at the door, after all, she had been bullied by this person before.

The Demon King, or rather... the Four Beginnings.

"Master, I am ready."

Holy crap? Your relationship after that... a master-disciple romance?!

“…Okay, let’s go.” Si Chuming glanced at Lu Youmei’s short hair, said nothing, and led the way, with Lu Youmei following behind.

After that, Leng Yihan continued to witness Lu Youmei's life.

There were tears, and there were laughter.

Time flies, and the sect's martial arts tournament, held every three months, has arrived.

Those of the same rank as Si Chuming were naturally crushed by him without any mercy, just as Leng Yihan had predicted.

Lu Youmei's formidable combat power is just like her master's; at the same level, it's an overwhelming victory.

The two of them instantly became the brightest new stars in the entire Bright Moon Sect.

Leng Yihan saw all of this, and an invisible pressure unknowingly weighed on her. The source of this pressure was Si Chuming.

To think that I would have to deal with such a genius... this is no ordinary challenge.

The two were immediately given special attention by the sect. Lu Youmei also showed her amazing talent, which was in no way inferior to Si Chuming's. Her cultivation level rose rapidly, and her foundation remained extremely solid.

After Lu Youmei advanced to the second stage, Si Chuming took her to the sect's miscellaneous storage area to accept a hunting mission.

Speaking of which... the path they're cultivating now isn't the path of Heaven, is it?

Leng Yihan had long ago realized that the cultivation system was different; it was neither magic nor the cultivation of the Heavenly Dao.

So what is it?

Leng Yihan believed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, her subsequent dreams would surely reveal the answer.

Lu Youmei and Si Chuming were always together. On the surface, they were master and disciple, but in Leng Yihan's eyes, the atmosphere was completely that of a couple.

Of course, only Leng Yihan could see this atmosphere, since no one else could see into the couple's daily life at home.

After that, Lu Youmei developed feelings for Si Chuming.

No, it was already love, she said it herself, among her few close friends in the Bright Moon Sect.

At this point, three years had passed, and it was the third year since they entered the Bright Moon Sect.

Leng Yihan herself hadn't expected time to pass so quickly, as if someone had pressed fast forward for her.

"Xiao Mei~ You've really fallen for Senior Brother Chu Ming? Don't forget you're his disciple."

"...I don't know either, but when I see him, my heart beats so fast, and I want to stay by his side forever..." Lu Youmei buried her head in her knees, hiding the blush on her face.

Girl... you're definitely in love...

"Well... how about we give it a try and go after him? It seems like your senior brother also has feelings for you, so there's definitely a chance!"

"...I will try my best, but not now!"

From that moment on, twelve-year-old Lu Youmei had a great dream: to marry her master!

But... it seems a bit difficult.

Their lives were sometimes peaceful, sometimes intense. When they were fighting outside, Leng Yihan could clearly feel Lu Youmei's fighting and her thoughts. Leng Yihan could sense all of this.

These things are also very important to her.

Time flew by again. It was the fifth year since Lu Youmei joined the Bright Moon Sect. Si Chuming went into seclusion for the first time in a long time, and even sent Lu Youmei away from his residence.

This time, Si Chuming's advancement was not just a simple breakthrough; he also needed to undergo a tribulation of lightning!

First grade refines the whole body; second grade opens the dantian; third grade condenses true qi; fourth grade opens the spiritual elixir.

The current Si Chuming is undergoing the tribulation of the opening spirit pill!

There is only one fifth-rank sect leader in the entire Bright Moon Sect.

The fourth rank of the fourth grade of the Fourth Rank is already very close to his.

"This child...we cannot keep him."

The sect leader looked at the thunderclouds that were slowly gathering and sighed.

Luck is elusive and difficult to comprehend.

Two geniuses have emerged from one sect.

A 22-year-old fourth-grade elixir.

And a fourteen-year-old with a third-grade true qi.

The emergence of two geniuses is both a blessing and a curse for the Bright Moon Sect.

"The tribulation lightning is coming!"

347 Dewy Plum Blossoms (15)

"The tribulation lightning is coming!"

A disciple of the Bright Moon Sect exclaimed in surprise. Si Chuming stood calmly in the area that the sect had specially prepared for him to help him overcome his tribulation.

Seeing this, Si Chuming also subconsciously tensed up—though he didn't know why.

"Grandmaster...Master, will Master be alright?"

Standing behind the sect leader, Lu Youmei asked with some anxiety.

"...I don't know, perhaps it depends on his luck." After a long silence, the sect leader spoke, this time without repeating his usual saying, "Everything is cause and effect."

At this point, I simply couldn't bring myself to make that kind of joke anymore.

“Master…” Lu Youmei bit her pale lips, still holding a doll in her arms.

This is a bear doll that Si Chuming sewed for her by hand five years ago because he was worried she would be bored.

The thunder came quickly, and as the dark clouds gradually thickened, even the spectators knew something was wrong and hurriedly moved further away from Si Chuming.

"This is not good..." Even the usually calm Si Chuming felt uneasy after seeing this lightning tribulation.

Others might not know, but he, who was undergoing tribulation, already knew at this moment what kind of tribulation he was about to face.

【Nine Dragons Purple Gold Calamity】

The most difficult tribulation is the lightning tribulation for a fourth-grade Spirit Opening Pill.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, lightning struck down, vaguely forming the shape of a purple dragon, which chased after Si Chuming.

"Nine Dragons Purple Gold Calamity!" Lu Youmei's pupils shrank, and she hugged the doll even tighter.

Nine Dragons Purple Gold Calamity...

Leng Yihan also took a deep breath to calm down. Lu Youmei had previously investigated the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation. If Leng Yihan remembered correctly, this [Nine Dragons Purple Gold Tribulation] seemed to be the highest difficulty fourth-grade Heavenly Tribulation.

Just when Leng Yihan was about to face a difficult tribulation, and even if she did, she would be severely injured and need several days of recuperation, what happened next exceeded her expectations.

The battle between Si Chuming and the Heavenly Tribulation was fierce, and the Heavenly Dao energy that was leaked out greatly benefited every disciple of the Bright Moon Sect after being absorbed by it.

The energy they absorbed through this leakage may very well become a crucial part of their future tribulation.

Then Si Chuming survived the heavenly tribulation.

And so, what seemed like a thrilling ordeal passed by uneventfully for Si Chuming.

Just when Leng Yihan thought that Si Chuming might have suffered some internal injury, Si Chuming returned directly to his residence—it seems that Leng Yihan was right.

Seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation of Si Chuming had passed, Lu Youmei jumped out of the window without saying a word and headed straight for Si Chuming's mansion.

Previously, Si Chuming was worried that Lu Youmei might do something outrageous while he was undergoing his tribulation, so he entrusted her to his master, who was also the sect leader of the Mingyue Sect, and asked him to keep a close eye on Lu Youmei.

Now that the Heavenly Tribulation has passed, the Sect Master naturally will not stop Lu Youmei.

Then, after returning to the mansion, as expected, Si Chuming's secluded cultivation place was locked, and Lu Youmei simply stopped and sat down in front of the entrance to the secluded cultivation place.

Young lady, I know you're anxious, but Si Chuming is seriously injured, and he might not emerge from seclusion for a long time... You might as well go and see if there are any herbs that can heal the injuries from the Heavenly Tribulation.

Leng Yihan thought to herself, but Lu Youmei couldn't hear her.

Lu Youmei sat in front of Si Chuming's secluded cultivation place for an hour. An hour later, the stone door of Si Chuming's secluded cultivation place was suddenly opened, and Si Chuming walked out calmly.
