You're So Corny

The top of the Xing Tian Pavilion.

At the center of the teleportation array was a circular gray stone platform, three zhang wide and three chi high, with the Dao Alliance's sword cloud emblem engraved in the middle.

Xiao Ran followed his Master onto the stone platform, and for some reason felt as if he were stepping onto a red carpet.

The stone platform was very spacious, even giving people a sense of grandeur and excitement. Standing on the platform and looking down at Li Wuxie and Chen Qingyuan, they seemed very small.

All around was Blue Light Sword Array of five swords facing each other and slowly rotating.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be five solid greatswords.

The sword's surface was engraved with intricate teleportation Spirit Runes, and the blue light was so intense that it was mistaken for sword light at first glance.

As Xiao Ran and his companion stepped onto the stone platform, the Spirit Runes on the sword formation flickered, beginning to verify their identities, whether they had paid the required Spirit Stone for passage, and to confirm their destination.

The Eastern Floating Dao Alliance had already taken care of all the necessary procedures in advance, so Xiao Ran didn't have to spend a single penny. Otherwise, he wouldn't have participated in the Heaven's Chosen Assembly.

Once the procedure was confirmed, the sword formation transmitted a divine thought to the two of them, roughly meaning:

Confirm delivery? It's not too late to get off now, but once the bus starts moving, there's no turning back.

Xiao Ran and his Master confirmed the teleportation one after another.

Immediately, the sword formation contracted, the Spirit Runes flickered, and the rotation accelerated. As the sword light grew stronger, the Spiritual Pressure suddenly increased.

The stone platform beneath Xiao Ran's feet also rotated at the same speed and in the opposite direction as the sword formation.

Xiao Ran steadied himself and endured the spinning motion.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of tension.

He carefully examined the meaning of the sword pattern, which was designed to distort space and suck people on the stone platform into a fixed Space Channel.

Xiao Ran inexplicably recalled the process of time travel. A beam of light shone on him, his face lit up, then his vision went black, and he too had entered a time portal...

Am I destined to travel through time? What if I teleport and end up in another world? Once I'm in this world, there's no turning back.

Having finally waited for the system to arrive and been bound to a fair-skinned, beautiful, and awesome Master, Xiao Ran was left with a lot of things to do and many things that needed to be done. If the teleportation triggered a second time travel and he ended up in another world, Xiao Ran would be devastated.

In the center of the rotating stone platform, Lingzhou Yue wiped the wine from her lips and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Ran's worried expression.

This is a very rare thing.

When she first met Xiao Ran, she felt that he was bold and had strong willpower.

Everyone else was incredibly nervous when they saw her, but he immediately started rubbing her shoulders and legs, giving her no chance to calm down.

The longer they spent together, the stronger this feeling became, as if he had a plan in his mind that he was executing relentlessly.

Especially after learning the Art of Resonance, I have never seen any hesitation, uncertainty, or worry or fear on his face.

He seemed to be a very reliable man, someone she trusted to entrust the Bone of the Blood Moon to.

Would a man like that be worried about a teleportation array?

Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly and asked him:

Why are you so nervous?

Xiao Ran did not hide anything.

"This is my first time teleporting, so it's understandable that I'm a little nervous."

Lingzhou Yue nodded, but thought to herself, "You were incredibly brave to become my teacher for the first time, risking your life."

"It's your first time, no wonder... If you're really scared, grab onto your master."

Another potentially disastrous question, Xiao Ran asked weakly:

"Where to catch them?"

Lingzhou Yue's face was cold.

Where do you want to grab it?

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "I want to grab the places, but I don't dare to grab them..."

Grabbing someone's shoulder can seem condescending and disrespectful.

Holding her waist would be too intimate and inappropriate.

After Xiao Ran deliberation, Xiao Ran finally reached out and grabbed his Master's cold wrist.

Perhaps because he was too worried about being transported to another world, he gripped his Master's wrist tightly, thinking that if he could travel through time, he could take his Master with him and still be invincible! His obsession ran too deep, and he accidentally gripped too tightly.

Lingzhou Yue turned her head and scolded, "You idiot! You pinched me too hard!"

Xiao Ran then realized what was happening and quickly let go.

As a result, the hand that had just been released was suddenly hooked by the Master's five fingers, and the two hands were intertwined and held together.

Xiao Ran felt a warmth in his heart, and the surrounding scenery seemed to swirl around him.

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Ran felt as if he had grasped the entire universe, firmly anchored to his Master as a spatial node, unable to travel anywhere else.

Master's hands were delicate and slender. Perhaps he had drunk too much wine, because they were a little cold when I first held them. But as soon as I held them tightly, my palms warmed up, like a hand warmer.

Lingzhou Yue, her face flushed slightly, said coldly, "Concentrate, lest your soul be torn apart."

"Oh."

The stone platform spun faster and faster until the surrounding scenery turned completely white. At a certain critical point, the space suddenly began to distort.

A beam of white light shot into the sky!

Xiao Ran's face turned pale, his vision went black, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already in the teleportation channel.

Master is still by my side.

Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and looked around.

The teleportation channel is an infinitely extending pentagonal columnar channel, with its five sides forming a closed, light blue spatial barrier.

Outside the barrier lies an abyss.

Blood mist drifted in the darkness.

This is Xiao Ran's second time visiting the abyss.

Last time, I also went with my Master, taking the Flamefree City, shrouded in the Wraith Fog, for a stroll in the Abyss.

But Xiao Ran didn't know what the abyss was.

Anyway, it's a structure that comes with the True Spirit Continent. The Abyss doesn't seem to be a three-dimensional space; it can be roughly understood as a space traversed by a wormhole.

Most spatial spells, including Space Ring, involve the architecture of the abyss.

Anything without Spiritual Power that enters will be quickly digested by the abyss itself, which is why only spiritual items can be placed in the Space Ring.

Fortunately, this is just simple spatial travel, completely different from the time travel that Xiao Ran experienced.

The blue light was like the azure sky.

The blood mist was like hell.

Riding an elevator in a teleportation tunnel is quite a pleasant experience.

Xiao Ran felt especially comfortable holding his Master's soft and gentle hand.

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine and looked at him with a quiet gaze.

"I never expected you to be so brave normally, but to be so nervous about using a teleportation array."

Isn't it normal to be nervous the first time you enter the path of cultivation? "Master, weren't you afraid the first time?"

Xiao Ran asked.

Lingzhou Yue's face showed disdain.

"The secluded path you yearn for is already a tree-lined avenue that others have trodden upon. What are you afraid of? You should be excited!"

"Are you Shakespeare?" Xiao Ran asked tentatively, "Master, aren't you afraid that the teleportation array will malfunction and send you to another world?"

Lingzhou Yue smiled wistfully.

Is there a world worse than the Dharma Ending Era?

Xiao Ran held his Master's hand tightly.

"For me, the world without (the system and) my Master is the worst."

"You're so cheesy."

Lingzhou Yue her eyes at him, then thought about it and realized she had been tricked by this kid.

"I think you're just pretending to be scared so you can grab my hand, right? I'm not going to grab yours."

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 8 Filial Piety Points!]

"Winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, brilliant!" Xiao Ran hurriedly said.

"If you don't hold my hand, I'll grab somewhere else. If that happens, my Master will kick me into the abyss, and I'll really be gone."

Lingzhou Yue fell silent for a moment.

She suddenly realized that this was probably the first time a man had held her hand.

Upon closer inspection, a man's hands are nowhere near as smooth and soft as a woman's hands...

But it's warm.

She turned her head to look at the abyss outside the barrier, her clear, shimmering eyes reflecting the blue light and blood mist.

Is your hometown... another world?

She was thinking.

East Floating City and Chaos City are millions of miles apart.

In the Cultivation World, both Spiritual Energy and Wraith Qi can hinder flight speed.

Even at the fastest speed of the Great Ascension Realm, it would take several days to travel from East Floating City to Chaos City.

It would take several years for Qi Refining cultivator to travel by sword.

But by using the teleportation array, it only takes an hour to arrive.

Space distorted, the sword formation began to slow down, and the stone platform slowly came to a stop.

Xiao Ran held his Master's hand for an hour, his palms sweating.

Lingzhou Yue quickly let go of his hand, looking disgusted, and said, "Why are you holding so tightly? My hands are all wet!"

Just as Xiao Ran was feeling embarrassed, a system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 Filial Piety Points!]

This...

They exited the teleportation array.

Xiao Ran and his Master arrived at the rooftop of a majestic fortress, surrounded by a deep, half-dried forest.

Lingzhou Yue made a last-minute decision to come a day early, and there wasn't enough time for Chaos City to arrange for someone to welcome her.

The fortress's guards quickly emerged from the underground control cave, bowed respectfully to Xiao Ran and his companion, and offered them the Dao Alliance Immortal Boat bound for Chaos City.

Lingzhou Yue waved her hand in refusal:

"No need, we have our own boat."

Xiao Ran then summoned his Sword Ship, which hovered diagonally above the teleportation array.

The senior deacon hurriedly said, "There are Netherworld Wraith lurking in the Dark Forest. A few days ago, a large-scale battle occurred on the western route. One of the parties seemed to be a group from the Saint Demon Sect returning from your sect. They were attacked by mysterious people, and the investigation is still ongoing."

Lingzhou Yue gulped down a mouthful of wine and sighed:

"Old man Qiu Ren is still too weak..."

Are the experts at the Body Integration Realm still weak?

The deacons trembled with fear.

"Regardless of strength, there are indeed unknown risks here. If the Dao Alliance's Immortal Boat escorts you two, even if something happens, the Dao Alliance will be responsible."

Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"Taking responsibility is a minor matter; just give me the fuel cost subsidy."

"Gas money?"

The deacons looked at each other, puzzled.

Lingzhou Yue immediately understood and reminded the deacons, "Spirit Stone, don't you understand?"

I'd always heard that Lingzhou Yue was greedy for money, but I never expected that her apprentice would be even more greedy than her!

They even tried to extort money from the Dao Alliance! When the leading old deacon saw the grade and size of Xiao Ran's Sword Ship, beads of sweat appeared on his deeply furrowed forehead.

"I only have one hundred Spirit Stone here. Is that enough for you?"

Lingzhou Yue.

Xiao Ran nodded with his hands behind his back.

"That's about it."

The master and apprentice, one asking for money and the other collecting it, worked together with the perfect understanding of an old married couple.
