Bai Yi: Of course I'm stewing you! What, did you think I was stewing myself?

Bai Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes still closed as his voice echoed mysteriously through the room.

"Wukong, why aren't you resting properly in the side room? What brings you climbing through my back window in the middle of the night?"

"And that little girl outside the window, don't your hands get tired clinging to the frame?"

"The night is deep and the dew is heavy. Doesn't it get cold for your little body, lying out there?"

Those words made Qian Renxue's little face flush bright red.

It seemed she had been found out!

Sun Wukong, kneeling on the floor, froze for a moment and glanced back out the window, then broke into a grin.

Sun Wukong didn't mind Qian Renxue following him. At most, he thought this rosy-cheeked junior sister of his liked to join in the fun.

With that thought, Sun Wukong knocked his head heavily against the floor before Bai Yi's bed and called out.

"Master! This disciple received a hint from you in person during the day and has come to receive the method!"

On the bed.

Bai Yi slowly opened his eyes and shook his head with a chuckle.

"You monkey, your comprehension truly is extraordinary. You actually saw through the riddle I made by tapping you three times with my finger today."

At those words, the people of the Douluo Continent suddenly saw the light.

"Holy shit?! Three taps on the back of his head meant he should come through the back door at the third watch?!"

"My heavens... This Divine Being even used a secret signal to pass on the Dao?!"

"This Soul Beast actually understood the Divine Being's secret signal?!"

Inside Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's stiff zombie face turned red, then pale, then green and purple.

Disturbing his rest?

A heinous crime?

Expelled from the sect?

Tang San awkwardly turned his head away and pretended to look at the moon in the sky.

The others, as if they and Tang San had all been born to the same mother, simultaneously pretended to look at the moon in the sky.

Yu Xiaogang felt the blood and Qi churning in his chest, and he nearly spat out another mouthful of blood!

Why?!

Why did this Divine Being from another world have to go against his theories as the Grandmaster every time he did anything?!

Within the Heavenly Screen.

Bai Yi knew nothing of Yu Xiaogang's thoughts.

He raised a hand slightly and gave a gentle sweep of his sleeve toward the window.

"Since you're here, come in. What kind of behavior is hiding outside the window?"

A soft breeze brushed past, and Qian Renxue felt her body rise weightlessly into the air. She floated into the room and landed steadily beside Sun Wukong.

A little ill at ease, Qian Renxue twisted the hem of her clothes, lowered her head, and called out softly.

"Teacher..."

Bai Yi looked at the little girl beside him, as if carved from pink jade, and said with a chuckle.

"You girl, you're a handful too. Never mind, since you're already here, listen from the side."

Hearing that, Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief, which turned to delight in an instant.

Listen?

Teacher was going to pass on the Dao!

Sun Wukong knelt on the floor, scratching his ears and cheeks as he spoke urgently.

"Master! This disciple is slow-witted and only half understood the Great Dao you spoke of today. I only wish to beg for a true, wondrous method to escape calamity and misfortune and attain eternal life! Please grant my wish, Master!"

Bai Yi's expression grew slightly solemn as he looked calmly at Sun Wukong.

"The path to eternal life has a thousand methods and ten thousand mysteries."

"I have here a volume of the Guardian Dao Profound Art, called the Nine-Nine Profound Art."

"This cultivation method is the supreme means of becoming a Saint in the flesh. It contains the wonders of ninety-nine transformations, comprehends the workings of heaven and earth, and reverses one's state to return to the innate."

"Once mastered, your physical body will neither die nor be destroyed, nor be worn away by countless tribulations. Water and fire cannot harm it, nor can wind and thunder damage it. Even when the Three Calamities and Nine Difficulties befall you, you can evade and dispel them with your countless transformations."

"Wukong, this method is profound and difficult, and exceptionally dangerous. Only one with great perseverance and great opportunity can cultivate it."

"Are you willing to learn it?"

The moment Sun Wukong heard this, his whole body began trembling with excitement.

It could grant eternal life?

It could make him indestructible?

It could even let him evade calamities and tribulations, and grant him ninety-nine transformations?!

He had only sought eternal life, yet there were so many other benefits, including indestructibility?

"I'm willing! I'm willing! This disciple is willing! Master, please pass it on to me quickly!"

Sun Wukong kowtowed again and again, his head banging against the blue brick floor.

Bai Yi smiled faintly and swept his hand through the air.

A simple, ancient-looking jade slip appeared out of thin air, shining with golden light. Arcane, obscure divine runes from the primordial age flowed faintly across its surface, making it extraordinarily wondrous.

Bai Yi flicked a finger, and the jade slip floated gently into Sun Wukong's furry hands.

"I bestow this scripture upon you. Go to the side hall and study it on your own. Remember, you must never rely on this method to commit violence or kill wantonly."

"This disciple obeys! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Sun Wukong cradled the scripture as though he had received the greatest treasure, then did three somersaults on the floor like a child.

Across the Douluo Continent, countless Titled Douluo powerhouses stared wide-eyed.

This was a cultivation method that could make the physical body indestructible and grant ninety-nine transformations!

"Open it! Hurry up and open it!"

"Even if I only get to see one word, I'd gladly give up my entire fortune!"

"Everyone in Spirit Hall, get paper and brushes! Quickly, get paper and brushes and copy down the scripture!"

Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and a host of other powerhouses standing at the continent's peak stared unblinkingly at the scene on the Heavenly Screen.

As long as Sun Wukong opened the scripture, as long as the Heavenly Screen showed even a single line, this opportunity would surely allow them to become gods.

But in the next moment.

The Heavenly Screen's viewpoint shifted slightly, passing straight over the jubilant Sun Wukong without showing even a corner of the jade slip, and settled on Qian Renxue!

"Pfft!"

Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sword Douluo Chen Xin spat a mouthful of blood onto the Seven Kill Sword.

It wouldn't let them see!

The Heavenly Screen wasn't giving the people of the Douluo World any chance at all to see the Divine Being's method!

Then what was the point of putting up the Heavenly Screen? Just to make their mouths water?!

No one remembered that when Bai Yi first passed on the Dao, most people in the Douluo World had struggled to understand it and had even suffered a backlash from the sound of the Dao.

This was not a cultivation method they could look upon.

Within the Heavenly Screen.

Bai Yi rose unhurriedly and looked at Qian Renxue, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Xue'er, what are you standing there for? Come with me."

Qian Renxue came back to her senses and obediently trotted along behind Bai Yi on her little legs.

They left the room and passed through several quiet corridors, eventually arriving at a secluded courtyard deep within the Daoist temple.

Moonlight spilled over the center of the courtyard.

A great cauldron stood there, a full two or three zhang tall, its entire body gleaming an ancient bronze color!

Five-colored divine light flowed across the cauldron, and the power of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—faintly intertwined and churned in the air.

Qian Renxue suddenly caught a fragrant scent and felt warmth spread through her whole body.

The six-year-old child curiously approached the edge of the great cauldron, stood on tiptoe, and craned her little head to peer eagerly inside.

Then she raised her head and looked at Bai Yi, speaking in her childish voice.

"Teacher... You brought me here in the middle of the night. Did you make such a big pot of good soup on purpose, to stew something tasty for me and nourish my body?"

Bai Yi looked down at the little girl before him, whose eyes sparkled with lively mischief, and smiled faintly.

"Of course not!"

Hearing that, Qian Renxue's interest was piqued.

"Then what is it?"

Bai Yi stepped forward and gently brushed Qian Renxue's forehead, speaking with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Of course I'm stewing you."

"What, did you think I was stewing myself?!"
