These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Although it was later proven that the two hadn't done anything, Lu Qingyan forbade them from sleeping together again.

"Let's not talk about that... Today it's mainly because... um, senior sister, I have a question for you."

"Ah."

Jiang Ying stared intently at the boy's shoulder blades.

Gently rub your fingers on it, feeling the skin and the bones.

The fingertips made small circles.

Wei Tu was preoccupied with other things and thought the application wasn't finished yet. Although he sensed that Jiang Ying's finger movements were a bit off, he didn't think much of it.

"What if one day you discovered that everything you learned in the first half of your life was actually leading you down the wrong path?

Jiang Ying pursed her thin lips and said calmly.

"Then we won't practice."

"Uh...it's that simple?"

It was simpler than Wei Tu had initially imagined.

"Hmm... I don't want to become a peerless master."

"Is your cultivation level that high, Senior Sister...?"

"It's just to protect my junior brother."

Upon hearing these words, Wei Tu felt something pressing down on him, pressing tightly against his back.

Despite her cold and seemingly personalityless nature, the girl's body was soft and supple.

Pressing against the peaks of her shoulders and back, the hot breath exhaled onto her neck made her cheeks feel slightly flushed.

Instead of panicking and turning over, Wei Tu remained lying on her stomach, smiling gently as she asked.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

Jiang Ying closed her eyes and simply did what she wanted to do.

"I don't know... I just want to lean against you like this, like before."

She didn't know why, but Wei Tu did.

The feelings planted in childhood always ferment little by little. If I had realized it earlier and not simply regarded it as sibling affection, it wouldn't have ended up like that.

"Senior sister..."

Wei Tu wanted to say something.

"I don't want to hear what you're saying right now..."

The girl said this and closed her eyes.

She could only gently press her cheek against his back and inhale his scent.

The girl, who had nothing but swords since childhood, had no idea what love and affection meant to others.

All she knew was that she couldn't bear to part with this junior brother, and that she could only be happy when she was with him.

She didn't care what kind of feelings these were; she just wanted to see him every day, to see him smile at her, and to be gentle with her.

I can tolerate anything.

However, she still heard what the boy said.

"Um... this is the last thing. Senior sister, if I were to tell you one day that I want to teach you swordsmanship, would you find it strange?"

"will not."

Jiang Ying gave her answer almost without hesitation.

Wei Tu was stunned.

"why?"

"There's no reason why. I've always agreed to whatever you ask me to do."

"okay."

Her cheek gently brushed against the boy's strong shoulders and back, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in her chest.

It felt like ants crawling through my veins... itchy... and then gathering from under my armpit to that tip...

Gently rubbing against it, even through the clothes, you can feel the body heat penetrating the fabric.

Wei Tu twitched his fingers; the upper finger moved, and the lower finger also moved.

Each red bean, like a jade bean, sways gently; one should know the deep longing that seeps into one's bones...

When Wei Tu struggled to get out of bed, the wounds on his body had already begun to scab over.

Jiang Ying had already left the room for a while, so she naturally couldn't stay here, otherwise she would be whipped again tomorrow morning.

Wei Tu, of course, had no idea that he could get it back in the future; he was simply thinking about what he needed to do next.

With past experience, reaching the threshold of the Fusion Realm is just a matter of time and not difficult.

I need to spend more time reading books in the library in the coming days, so it's best to correct Lu Qingyan's problem as soon as possible.

However, he still needs some evidence to support his claim.

As for the other matter... that old thing that almost destroyed everyone... Wei Tu already has a solution.

This is closely related to one's own level of strength, so it cannot be delayed.

The cultivation stages are roughly divided into: Foundation Establishment, Overlord Body, Fusion, Dragon Slaying, and Godhood.

The Overlord Realm is the tempering of the body, while the Fusion Realm is a completely new stage, the unification of the soul.

The Dragon Slayer Realm doesn't refer to actually being able to slay a few dragons. Rather, it means that at this level, one is vastly different from ordinary people, even significantly more so than those at the Fusion Realm. That's why the Five Immortal Continents have the Dragon Slayer Ranking.

Those who reach the Divine Realm are basically aiming for ascension.

These kinds of human conflicts have almost disappeared now, so having a title is no longer important.

The Dragon Slayer Ranking, on the other hand, is a list that showcases the strength of every exceptionally talented cultivator. It may not have any real practical use, but the authority of a person on the list is equivalent to that of a thousand troops, which is not just an empty boast.

Wei Tu has no interest in the Dragon Slayer Ranking now. In his previous life, he never dropped in rank from the moment he entered the ranking until he reached the top and then entered the God-Gazing Realm in one fell swoop, which took only four or five years.

This speed is unprecedented.

There's one more person we can't forget...

Wei Tu suddenly thought of a figure.

The boy stood up, went to the windowsill, and picked up a leaf that was still very green.

A person picks up flowers and leaves.

It will be beautiful when dawn arrives.

But what if a ferocious beast comes?

Therefore, one must carry a sword and a knife.

Wei Tu closed his eyes and looked up at the clear, bright moon.

The energy stirred slightly within the meridians, then intensified until it boiled over.

The intense heat within his dantian rapidly coalesced and then exploded in an instant.

As the waves within his Qi Sea rippled, all the Qi rapidly merged, making it almost impossible for Wei Tu to stand still in that instant.

His body swayed precariously.

Until that energy suddenly spread out and returned to his meridians...

The realm of fusion has been reached.

For many, this is the most crucial hurdle in the path to immortality.

The boy was only sweating a little on his windowsill.

"How about fresh snow."

An aged voice echoed inside the Baoguang Hall.

The sect leader, Ran Xinxue, dressed in a black dress, appeared in the Baoguang Hall and bowed her head to the owner of the voice.

"Ancestor... the competition is over."

In the dim light, without candlelight, the aged figure was not clearly visible.

"how?"

"Su Mi of Xuejian Peak and Jiang Ying of Xiaoyuan Peak both won."

"Hmm...not bad. Just as I expected. Are there any better prospects?"

Just as Ran Xinxue was about to shake her head, she remembered a little incident that had happened earlier that day.

She paused, but still didn't say anything.

That's just a statement.

"The sect competition is just a minor test; it is only during the trials that we will know who is truly talented."

"Yes, you should look carefully. My days are numbered, we can't delay any longer..."

"Disciple understands..."

"Go."

Ran Xinxue nodded, bowed respectfully, and then turned and left Baoguang Hall.

Appearing under the cold moonlight, this woman, with her unique temperament, aloofness, and exceptional skills, showed a hint of melancholy for the first time.

For a moment, she clenched her fist.

But eventually, it slowly loosened.

Moonlight spilled across the ground, illuminating the green pines in the mountains and the gently flowing stream.

Finally, it cascaded down from her cascading black hair.

The ground was covered in frost and snow.
