These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu knew that she could only sulk with him and couldn't do anything else, so he sat down next to Su Mi.

The girl shifted her position slightly, as if trying to create some distance.

Wei Tu got a little closer.

Su Mi moved some aside.

Wei Tu is a little closer.

Until Su Mi could no longer tolerate it.

I don't want to talk to you right now!

"Then listen to me."

Wei Tu said with a smile, and the girl snorted and turned her head to look at the maple forest on the other side, her few strands of messy black hair gently covering her fair skin.

He raised his head, facing the moonlight, and inhaled the delicate fragrance at the tip of his nose.

"Two months from now, you will reach the fifth level of the Fusion Realm, which will meet the threshold for the sect's trials. When others ask you where you want to go, you can say that you will go wherever your senior brother goes for the trials."

"Stop being so narcissistic, I'm not..."

Su Mi turned her head and said in a muffled voice, although she didn't know if she could reach the fifth rank of the Fusion Realm in two months, she had already thought about participating in the sect trial with this annoying senior brother...

Wei Tu smiled.

"So I hope you don't go this time, or go somewhere else, as long as it's safe."

Su Mi paused for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Tu.

"Why? Is it dangerous? Then why do you want to go?"

Su Mi immediately asked three questions in quick succession, but they were all within Wei Tu's expectations. She was bound to ask those questions.

Wei Tu answered calmly.

"I'm going to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to find a medicinal herb. It's very important to me, that's the truth. But the place I'm going to is very dangerous. If you're there too, it'll be difficult to manage both sides."

Su Mi was somewhat disappointed. Although she knew that Wei Tu's words were very tactful, she could still tell that the other party was worried about her safety. Because her ability to protect herself was not very good, and in a dangerous situation, having another person with insufficient self-protection ability would be a burden.

The most disheartening thing is wanting to travel thousands of miles with someone, only to find that you are not even as good as the travel baggage.

Because one can discard one's belongings at will, but one will not discard oneself.

"I……"

Seeing Su Mi's troubled expression, Wei Tu felt sorry for her and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Listen to me, Su Su."

"Um……"

The girl looked somewhat lost and bewildered at the boy who had pulled her in front of her.

"You will reach the fifth level of the Fusion Realm in two months, which is quite an achievement. Moreover, you won't need to cultivate as hard as others; you can simply do what you are doing now."

Reaching the Dragon-Slaying Realm a year and a half later already signifies exceptional talent, perhaps even genius.

Before long, you'll break through to the Divine Realm before you turn thirty, becoming the youngest female sword immortal in the entire Immortal Continent. My talent isn't as great as yours, so from now on, I'll need you to protect me."

"Senior brother..."

The boy looked at her with a smile.

"You're the kind of girl even God wants to protect, so I don't want you to suffer at all. Su Su, I knew you in my past life."

Su Mi blinked, looking into the boy's clear eyes.

Her heart felt as if it were soaking in a jar of honey.

His words flowed so naturally, as if they were meant to be. The seemingly ethereal words of love felt so real because of his moved expression.

The girl asked.

Did we know each other in a past life?

Wei Tu nodded.

"Yes. Something went wrong in my past life, and God has made me protect you well in this life."

Su Mi was slightly troubled again.

"But I'm still so useless. I know you're going to a dangerous place. I want to stop you, but I'm afraid of delaying your plans. I want to go with you, but I'm afraid of holding you back. I can't do anything..."

Wei Tu looked into her eyes with a smile.

"But you can help me in other ways."

"Where?"

The bewildered girl gazed at the boy.

Then I saw that wickedly grinning face getting closer and closer.

Until she couldn't refuse and slightly raised her head, squinting her eyes.

In the dim light, he kissed her delicate lips.

He let out a miserable groan from his throat.

The girl, breathless and gasping for air after the deep, suffocating kiss left her tongue aching, was released.

Her face was already flushed, and her eyes were glazed over as she gazed at Wei Tu.

"You're always trying to take advantage of me and do bad things... Was I born to be toyed with by you?"

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head, gently rubbing the other person's nose with his own.

He smiled and said, "In this lifetime, we will travel to thousands of mountains and rivers, and see all the fairylands and the human world. I was born to make Su Mi happy, and Su Mi was born to accompany Wei Tu to watch the flowers bloom and wither."

She simply listened to the boy's gentle words, her heart softening like mud, even collapsing into a lake of water.

I know nothing more.

I no longer even feel the gentle caress on my heart.

He no longer noticed the roughness on his fingertips.

It landed on my neck...

clavicle……

Even the hickeys on her snow-white breasts... I don't know anymore.

She simply held him, kissed him, smelled his scent, and listened to his increasingly heavy breathing.

Immersed in the moonlight, as gentle as water.

She didn't know what the future held, but she would accompany him to the ends of the earth.

Whether they're always jealous or constantly arguing, as long as they don't separate.

Judging from Wei Tu's words, it seems their story in their past life was a sad one...

It's okay.

I want to spend my life with him. PS: After finishing this chapter, I was surprised at how well it turned out… Surprisingly satisfied; it really fits the atmosphere and mood of the book. To be honest, I don't really like tedious sweet nothings, probably because I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, so I sometimes don't get it. But I like this kind of gentle way of stating the truth, where even heavy vows turn into sweetness. Um… please vote for me!

"Master, it's time for body tempering..."

These were probably the words that Lu Qingyan found most irresistible in the past two months.

She seemed to have fallen into a strange situation.

She kept telling herself that even during physical training, such intimate contact should not happen, especially when the other person was her disciple, which would be even more contrary to human ethics.

After each workout, she would always wash herself clean, drenched in sweat, but it seemed she could never wash away the burning, youthful feeling deep within her heart.

It's like the sunlight kissing the morning dew, like the spring breeze opening the budding flowers.

She also discovered that when she slept at night, she no longer dreamed of the terrifying sword fights; instead, the scene of the boy and her training together would reappear over and over again.

The perspective changes to third person, as if another person is watching.

She would see herself immersed in pain and his comfort, as if she were a libertine drowning in an ocean of desire, having completely forgotten who she was.

Although I know that such a scene may not actually happen, and there may be some slight deviations, it is my dream, which means that I already feel that way in my heart, right?

All of this made Lu Qingyan feel conflicted and filled with a sense of unknown panic. Every time it ended, she would resolve to refuse again and stop such behavior.

However, the effects of the body tempering were obvious, and every time that young man came to her door under the moonlight and called out "Master," Lu Qingyan seemed to be bewitched.

Despite her initial refusal... her willpower was weak, and swayed by the boy's somewhat forceful words, she followed him into the icy pool, stripped off her clothes, and then self-deceivingly immersed herself in it... finally collapsing in his arms, completely naked...

This body training session is over.

As usual, Lu Qingyan lost all her strength. Ripples spread across her collarbone, her high breasts barely concealed beneath the surface. He... perhaps he had already seen it all along, or perhaps it was just her deceiving herself, and she had no right to say anything more... Her powerlessness was perhaps the best excuse to immerse herself in this warmth at this moment.

It's like deceiving yourself.

And the boy who quietly holds her will whisper in her ear.

"Is Master alright...?"

Lu Qingyan found these words strange; they didn't sound like something one would say after body tempering... it was more like...

She closed her eyes slightly, like an ostrich hiding its head.

"Um……"

She could only make a faint buzzing sound, and then she heard the boy behind her chuckle. She wanted to sit up and give him a few whacks with the rattan cane, but... she had no strength at all, and there was no rattan cane at hand.

She could only purse her lips and remain silent in a huff.

Wei Tu sighed.

"Master, I have to go to the sect trial tomorrow, so I may not be able to come back in the next ten days. Please take good care of yourself."

"Sect trials... so soon?"

Lu Qingyan didn't even know how she could have said such a shameless thing. Wasn't this just showing that she was simply indulging in the feeling of having this boy by her side?
