This Was Merely a Divine Ability

Nuwa looked excited, but when Cheng Yue saw that snake tail, his scalp tingled.

Even though he had transcended mortality and become immortal, he still could not overcome that psychological fear.

So he simply waved his hand and said,

"Your master's magic power is meager; I truly have no way to accept you as a disciple. You should seek out a fine teacher elsewhere."

"I have heard that Daoist Hongyun of Fire Cloud Cave is skilled at making friends. You may take him as your master."

"Or there are the Kunlun Three Pure Ones. As the Pangu Three Pure Ones, they are also excellent choices."

"You should be considered part of the Demon Race. You may also go among them. There should be quite a few taking disciples there, and joining them would at least offer some protection."

"As for the west, there are Zhunti and Jieyin. Those two save all living beings, so entering their sect should be easy."

"Then there are Nuwa and Fuxi. They are also Great Powers and live nearby. If you go ask them to take you as a disciple, you will surely have some hope."

As Nuwa listened to the man before her list one Great Power after another from the Primordial World, she was somewhat stunned.

But when she heard Zhunti and Jieyin mentioned, a trace of disdain appeared on her face.

After all, those two were the ones always trying to mooch off others. They were truly detestable.

Yet when she heard her own name, her face flushed again.

She muttered inwardly, Their cultivation is the same as mine. What kind of Great Powers are they? Yet you called me a Great Power. Before you, I am like a child. Does that count as being a Great Power? You simply do not want to accept a disciple!

After Cheng Yue finished going through them all, he had even described the locations of their residences more or less.

Seeing that the girl before him should have given up on becoming his disciple, he felt relieved. After all, every person he had mentioned was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Several of them even had the potential to attain the Dao and become Sages. Surely she would not keep pestering him now.

Having said all that, he prepared to rise and leave.

But just as he was about to depart, a figure rushed over.

She wrapped her arms around his thigh.

Cheng Yue looked down helplessly at Nuwa, whose reddened eyes made her seem pitiful, and sighed inwardly.

Then he looked again at her snake tail. Goosebumps nearly rose all over his body.

He hurriedly said,

"Let go of me at once! Do not behave like this. You are a young lady—what kind of propriety is this?"

Seeing the urgency on his face, and how he kept trying to pry apart her tightly clenched hands, Nuwa felt as though she had found the key to success.

Her arms immediately tightened around him even more.

Feeling her strength, Cheng Yue knew that if he forcibly pushed her away, he might tear off her arms.

Although he had prepared himself for a world where the strong preyed upon the weak, he could not bear to be so bloody toward such a pretty girl.

Even if she had a snake tail.

"Master, please accept me! You said it yourself, those people are great figures. My cultivation is so low—what if they refuse to take me?"

"I am so weak and pitiful. I hide here and there every day, living in constant fear. Master, please accept me."

Hearing that, Cheng Yue thought of his own experiences over the years. His heart softened, and he wavered slightly.

When he looked at Nuwa again, her face was certainly pleasant enough to look at.

But that snake tail was truly impossible for him to accept.

Looking at Nuwa again, he could not help but say,

"Accepting you as my disciple is not impossible, but can you transform that snake tail into a pair of legs like mine?"

Nuwa froze at his words. She looked at her snake tail and thought it was quite beautiful.

But when she looked at Cheng Yue again, she realized that he seemed to dislike her snake tail. Then she looked at his legs.

"Master, I can. Look."

As she spoke, Nuwa's snake tail began to transform, gradually becoming a pair of slender, fair, long legs.

They were like flawless white jade, straight and tall.

Paired with that breathtakingly beautiful face—

Cheng Yue could not help swallowing, and his heart wavered even more.

She was the real deal: fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs.

Actually, bringing such a beauty along would not be bad. At least he could look at her occasionally. It was pleasing to the eye.

He had been alone for so long. In his previous life, he would have been the ultimate lonely bachelor.

After all, had anyone ever seen a thousand-year-old virgin?

Thinking it over, having someone by his side would be good.

At least he would have someone to talk to now and then, rather than being as lonely as before.

While he was lost in wild thoughts, he realized that she was still hugging his thigh.

Although so many years had passed, he had spent most of them cultivating. In truth, he was still a virgin.

Now that a beautiful woman was hugging his thigh, he found it truly difficult to endure. There were even signs that he was about to perform Dragon Raising Head.

He hurriedly came to his senses. Only after silently reciting scriptures twice did he calm himself.

Nuwa looked at Cheng Yue curiously. The expression on his face seemed strange.

It even seemed a little lecherous. Although she did not know why that word had suddenly come to mind, it flashed through her head.

Moreover, a small mound had gradually risen beneath his clothes before slowly subsiding again.

She seemed rather curious about it.

After calming down, Cheng Yue looked at Nuwa's face and sighed.

"Fine. Let go. I am willing to accept you as my disciple."

Only then did Nuwa stand up, smiling happily.

But she still looked at Cheng Yue and said,

"Master, are you carrying some treasure on you? Why did I just see a mound rise from your body, only for it to recede again?"

Cheng Yue felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard that. How could he not know what she meant?

He could only clear his throat before saying,

"Your master was merely cultivating a Divine Ability. Do not ask further."

Nuwa became even more energized at the mention of a Divine Ability, and immediately asked, "Master, what Divine Ability is that? Can you teach it to me?"

Teach it?

Could that thing be taught?

Cheng Yue's face reddened. Then he let out a breath and said,

"This Divine Ability can only be cultivated by a Yang Body. You are the Yin Manifestation, so how could you cultivate it?"

"Do not rush. Your master will teach you other Divine Abilities in the future. But before that, we must leave this place and find somewhere secluded, so that I may properly teach you cultivation techniques and Divine Abilities."

At that, Nuwa's eyes lit up. After nodding, she grabbed Cheng Yue's arm.

"Alright, Master. Let us go quickly. Anywhere is fine, as long as there are Divine Abilities."

Cheng Yue glanced at his arm, feeling the yang energy within him stir slightly.

This was cheating—she was practically throwing herself at him.

But they had already delayed here for quite some time. If they delayed any longer, something might happen again.

With that, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew out of the valley.

After leaving the valley, he looked around at the surrounding directions.

The East Sea was a place of constant trouble. The North Sea had Kunpeng and a Mystic Turtle, so it was not peaceful either.

The West Sea was too close to the Western Teachings.

It seemed that going to the South Sea and finding a place to hide would be the safest option.

The Primordial World Continent would likely become unsettled in the future. He did not wish to become entangled in it.

After deciding on a direction, he flew straight toward the South Sea.
