These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"You're really good at chatting. Here you go."

Bai Youwei took the obviously clean bowl, but still looked at Wei Tu with some hesitation.

Have you used this bowl before?

"Bah bah bah!"

Wei Tu spat a few mouthfuls into the bowl in Bai Youwei's hand.

Although there are no obvious water stains, the disgusting effect is obvious.

Bai Youwei stared wide-eyed at Wei Tu, “You…!”

He raised his hand to smash the bowl at Wei Tu, but at that moment Wei Tu picked up the fish soup.

"There are only two bowls. If you break it, you'll have to use the one I just finished drinking from."

"How could you be so shameless?!"

Bai Youwei wanted to cry but had no tears.

Wei Tu was very happy, "Sorry, my favorite thing to do is bully girls, the prettier the girls, the more I want to bully them."

"lecher!"

Bai Youwei blushed and stood up to go to the river to wash the dishes.

It was washed so clean, so shiny, as if they had washed away all the porcelain decorations before coming back.

Then he took the fish soup out of the casserole and took a sip.

The slightly hot fish soup began to release its fresh and fragrant aroma as it passed through her mouth, and the pleasant feeling after it entered her lungs made the girl let out a soft gasp.

Then he immediately felt a little embarrassed and became very serious, but his ears turned red.

Wei Tu didn't even look at Bai Youwei, just kept eating and talking.

"First come, first served; don't blame me if I finish it."

"Damn it...! Glug glug..."

Bai Youwei immediately abandoned her ladylike demeanor and drank the soup in big gulps, practically fighting with Wei Tu over it. Originally, Bai Youwei thought Wei Tu was just talking and couldn't stand her girlish behavior, but she didn't expect this bastard to be serious!

He really is competing with me!

Finally, she poured the soup out of the clay pot, making Bai Youwei so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.

After eating and drinking their fill, Bai Youwei followed Wei Tu back into the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and this time it went much more smoothly.

As if strolling through a quiet forest, Bai Youwei, having achieved her goal of obtaining the Sunfire Grass, appeared relaxed and carefree. Walking beside Wei Tu, one couldn't help but admit that Wei Tu, without his long hair tied up, looked more like a bewitching woman. A man with feminine features is already striking, let alone with such a physical appearance.

No wonder girls like Su Mi and Jiang Ying are so devoted to him... Moreover, he is already at the Dragon Slayer Realm at such a young age. It would be difficult to find such a special man in the Yuanjian Sect... no, in the entire Nanjian Prefecture.

"By the way, did your conversation with Lu Chengyuan earlier mean that you would have reached the Dragon Slayer Realm before you came here?"

Bai Youwei recalled what had happened before and couldn't help but ask.

Wei Tu nodded and carefully searched every possible corner.

"Pretty much, but there's no need to break through at that time. People in the sect will sense it, and it won't be stable enough."

"Is it stable here?"

"It's not the best-case scenario, but since I'm about to lose my life, this is the only way."

Wei Tu smiled, as if those bloody battles were just a passing cloud, leaving no trace.

Bai Youwei couldn't help but admire the boy's composure; it was frighteningly steady. No matter the situation, you would never see him panic. He always looked at you calmly, as if he held countless possibilities within him, and the key was that he always managed to do so.

"found it."

Wei Tu finally found the flower growing at the boundary between yin and yang on a sunny hillside.

Two flowers bloom, one slightly red, facing the sunlight.

A pale flower leans against the shadow.

Wei Tu carefully picked it and put it into his Qiankun bag.

"Yin-Yang Grass... Why do you want something like that?"

"you know?"

Wei Tu looked at Bai Youwei with some surprise.

Bai Youwei nodded. "There are many such things in the Northern Desert."

Wei Tu smiled and said, "Don't tempt me with things like that. I only need this one."

Bai Youwei sneered, "Who tempted you? You're so shameless."

"well enough."

Wei Tu touched his face, which made Bai Youwei laugh.

"Wei Tu, you really have many faces. Sometimes you seem silly and innocent, and other times you are insidious and cunning."

Wei Tu nodded, accepting the other party's assessment with equanimity.

"You have to be different with different people and different situations. Don't think I'm despicable. You'll learn some things sooner or later."

Bai Youwei squinted her eyes.

"So how did you do that? You grew up on Little Iris Peak. Is this what Lu Qingyan taught you? And your cultivation level has increased so quickly. In just half a year, you have already crossed an entire Fusion Realm... This is astonishing anywhere."

Wei Tu smiled and headed back the way he came.

“You have no idea what I’ve been through. I’ve endured every kind of hardship you can imagine. I’m not some kind of genius; I just don’t want to bow down to God.”

"..."

Bai Youwei silently kept these words in her heart.

The two traveled from the depths back to the outer perimeter, taking a day or two to walk and stop.

Bai Youwei would eat some simple ingredients prepared by Wei Tu, and they were surprisingly delicious.

The two slept together at night, seemingly warming each other with their body heat, but without doing anything inappropriate.

Even Bai Youwei herself didn't know what kind of relationship she had with the boy.

As she approached the outer perimeter, Bai Youwei sensed something was amiss.

"It seems... we haven't encountered a single person?"

Wei Tu nodded. "Perhaps they've all gone back to the coordinates?"

"I don't know, I don't feel well..."

Bai Youwei couldn't quite explain this intuition.

Wei Tu glanced at Bai Youwei, "What I really find bad is that the jinxes that girls usually jinx come true."

"Hmph, don't blame everything on your jinx, that's just keen insight."

"You've become narcissistic too."

Wei Tu laughed.

Bai Youwei wanted to give Wei Tu a smack on the bottom, but when Wei Tu looked at her, Bai Youwei blushed and immediately walked ahead.

The two successfully returned to the coordinates, but what puzzled them more and more along the way was that there was no one else around.

There are traces of people coming and going, but you just can't seem to find anyone.

When they arrived at the stone tablet at the coordinates.

But then they discovered...

"What's going on..."

Bai Youwei looked at the stone tablet, which had been almost completely flattened, leaving only the traces of broken walls, with slight astonishment.

Wei Tu frowned and looked around repeatedly until he came to an open space. He squatted down and reached out to brush away the layer of soft soil.

He saw dark red bloodstains seeping into the soil.

Bai Youwei walked over and said somewhat anxiously.

"I didn't see Uncle Liang! There was no one else either, and the coordinates were destroyed!"

Wei Tu nodded and took a deep breath.

"Going back won't be so easy..."

"what do you mean?"

"Other forces have their eyes on our Yuanjian Sect."

Wei Tu's calm words made the girl gasp.

"Who could it be...and why would they do such a thing?"

Wei Tu shook his head.

"We don't know for now, but they probably won't let anyone go. We need to be on guard from now on and not trust anyone, not even our fellow disciples."

"It's gotten to this point?"

Bai Youwei had a strange feeling at this moment, as if the only people she could trust and rely on were him and herself.

Is this considered... mutually dependent?

Wei Tu frowned, looking in one direction until his gaze settled on a crooked tree.

He walked over, and Bai Youwei followed.

Bai Youwei's eyes gradually widened, her face turned slightly pale, and her breathing became rapid.

Wei Tu took a deep breath, his heart pounding slightly, because he and Bai Youwei saw Liang Xingsu's head hanging high on the crooked tree, two terrifying eyes staring at them...

"Uncle Liang..."

Wei Tu pulled the girl next to him.

"Let Uncle Liang wait here for a moment, and we'll take him back together."

Bai Youwei was overwhelmed with sadness. She wasn't a cold-blooded woman to begin with, and seeing her elder, who had been chatting and laughing with them just a few days ago and had such a good personality, die such a tragic death was especially unacceptable to her.
