He accidentally bumped into the witch while flying on his sword.

Is he even a man?! He doesn't dare to do anything at a time like this!

Wasn't that guy who was so arrogant just now?

Useless thing!

Enraged, Yun Yi kicked Chen Shun before he could get up.

She was controlling the intensity, not wanting to ruin her happiness for the rest of her life.

But she forgot that Chen Shun was a cultivator who had trained his physical body.

"It's so hard...it hurts so much..." Yun Yi said, clutching her calf in grievance.

"Why did you kick me?" Chen Shun helped Yun Yi up.

"I did such a terrible thing to you, aren't you going to give me anything in return?" Yun Yi bit her lip.

"I'll owe you for now. Once I've figured things out, I'll make you pay me back one by one," Chen Shun said to Yun Yi with a bright smile.

"Then I'll be waiting for you to come and get your revenge! I'll definitely wash myself clean!"

Yun Yi smiled too.

I devoured all the sword immortals today and had a wonderful time kissing them!

The only pity is that I don't dare to kiss the sword immortal's mouth.

She skipped happily to the front of Chen Shun, her back to him as she gazed at the setting sun.

"So, do you understand now? Do you like me?"

"How can you understand that quickly?"

"You can't keep me waiting too long..."

Yun Yi turned her head and gazed tenderly at Chen Shun.

She understood that even if the silver bracelet was removed, the two of them could no longer escape.

Whether it's her or Chen Shun.

Does this count as a confession?

……

A sudden evening breeze swept up the fallen leaves beside them, erasing all traces of their brief but passionate intimacy.

Yunyi operated her phone and set that photo as her phone wallpaper.

Now, she's not afraid of being discovered by Xiaodi and Meimei.

Anyway, they both knew how they felt about Chen Shun.

Looking at Chen Shun's slightly constricted pupils and wide-open eyes in the photo, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Half of the laughter came from Chen Shun's dazed expression, and the other half from she was simply happy.

As Xiao Di said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Only a little witch who's willing to give away everything can make progress with a sword immortal.

He should be able to understand his own feelings to some extent.

"Let's go back, the sun is about to set."

"I'll listen to you."

Yun Yi moved closer to Chen Shun, and the two descended the mountain together.

May I hold your hand?

Do you particularly like my hands?

"No! I just wanted to hold your hand... when I hold your hand, that feeling is very strong."

"Alright then, since it's to help you figure out whether you like me or not, I'll let you hold my hand!"

Yun Yi opened his palm and waved it at Chen Shun.

Chen Shun grabbed the little witch's hand.

"How about we change positions?"

How do I change it?

“Like this…” Yun Yi paused for a moment.

The two people held hands.

Seeing Chen Shun's breathing become noticeably erratic and his body stiffen after their fingers were intertwined, Yun Yi secretly chuckled to himself.

It was just holding hands, look how nervous he is.

I'm going to make him completely infatuated with me later, what will he do then...?

Chen Shun gripped the slippery substance tightly in his hand, as if afraid it would slip away at any moment.

My heart was still beating fast, and I was still secreting excessive amounts of adrenaline.

The highest level of detachment from emotions—how could it be detachment from such things?

For the first time, Chen Shun began to doubt the patriarchs he had once admired so much.

It turns out that even the founding fathers weren't always right.

If the thrill in one's heart, that burning, intense, and lingering emotion, is what one has to give up to become a cultivator at the summit, then Chen Shun feels that cultivating immortality is utterly meaningless.

If one could live a hundred years and play around with the little witch like this forever, wouldn't that be much more interesting than sitting alone for a thousand years hoping for immortality?

Let's take a break from our spiritual practice for now.

"Hey, be gentle, don't hold on so tight, I'm not going to run away," Yun Yi whispered a reminder.

"Ah...sorry, I didn't notice."

Chen Shun quickly relaxed the pressure on his hands.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

"I'm thinking about the future."

"You... didn't even... think that far ahead..."

Without even confessing your feelings to her, you're already fantasizing about marriage and having kids?

Why does Chen Shun seem even more impatient than I am?

Chen Shun, not understanding why, slowed down his descent and even deliberately chose a longer route, hoping to hold Yun Yi's hand a little longer and feel that vibrant emotion more deeply.

Yun Yi may have noticed, or she may not have noticed, but she quietly let him lead her, following Chen Shun wherever he went.

Anyway, Chen Shun couldn't possibly trick her into selling him to the mountains.

……

On a huge rock at the top of the mountain, two men sat side by side, sighing and complaining.

The setting sun cast their shadows extremely long.

"How much longer?"

"I estimate it will take several more hours."

"Hey……"

"Hey……"

The two of them sighed in unison.

The one on the left seemed to have an itch on his back and reached out to scratch it, at which point the chains rattled.

The one on the right scratched it for him helplessly.

"Utterly useless."

"Screw you, I never want to have that experience again!"

Zhang Ze slapped Zhang Chi hard across the back, leaving a handprint.

Zhang Chi gave him two middle fingers.

“Relax”.

"What?"

"Be my wingman? Help me pursue Xiao Di."

"Haven't I been the one providing the assists the whole time?"

I'm serious!

"I'm not joking with you!"

Zhang Ze remained silent for a while, thought back, and realized that it was indeed as Zhang Chi had said.

He has been helping himself all along.

Zhang Chi became curious. After two years of being classmates, why did Zhang Ze suddenly launch such a fierce offensive against Xiao Di?

"Ze, when did you take a fancy to that little one?"

Do you believe in love at first sight?

"I've never been in a relationship, why would I believe that..."

"...That day at the Golden Mall, I saw Xiao Di, who was so small that she couldn't even lift a bag of snacks. She was lying on the ground, looking pitiful and blinking at me. Suddenly, I really wanted to protect her."

"I didn't realize you had this kind of personality!"

Zhang Chi clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhang Ze tried to gesture with his hands, but failed.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"I don't know if you've ever had this feeling, but suddenly at some point you find someone particularly adorable, it's a very quick and intense feeling."

Zhang Chi nodded in deep agreement, but it wasn't cute to him.
