I'll Give It to Master

Without any metaphor or implication, Xiao Ran truly crashed into a wad of water.

To be precise, it's a Water Sphere.

The Water Sphere was about ten feet tall, clear and transparent, with no Spiritual Pressure, as if it did not exist.

It was very fast, appearing almost suddenly in front of Xiao Ran and intercepting him head-on.

Xiao Ran was trapped in the Water Sphere. He could feel the moisture in the water, but his clothes were still dry.

My heart was inexplicably calm, without any ripples. I had a feeling of transcending the material world and seeing my own soul and Dao Heart. My body felt very comfortable, as if I were a child swimming in my mother's amniotic fluid.

But once you try to struggle and break free, the terrifying force from all directions in the water binds and wraps your body tightly, suffocating you.

Xiao Ran understood.

If you're not struggling violently to escape, but just moving slightly, the force that tightly envelops your body is actually quite comfortable.

I'll just move it around, I won't pull it out.

Three feet away from Xiao Ran, in the center of the Water Sphere, sat a woman sitting cross-legged.

Nascent Soul Cultivation Level.

The horizontally inserted topknot is eye-catching and beautiful, but it gives people a feeling of being too willful.

The woman had delicate, water-patterned eyebrows, bright red gemstone eyes, and a face as white as jade. Her makeup was extremely simple and clean.

On her left shoulder, there was a tear in her clothes and the flesh of her shoulder, from which blood slowly flowed out and then disappeared in the water.

At first glance, her temperament is somewhat aloof and not stunning; she doesn't seem to fall into the category of beauty.

Upon closer inspection, her features are quite beautiful; she's a natural beauty. The more you look at her, the more you sense an indescribable, profound, and soul-stirring inner clarity.

She was slender, almost too thin at first glance, not even as curvy as Chuyan.

Upon closer inspection, her legs, which were crossed, were firm yet curvaceous, and her hips had a beautiful curve. Her slender figure was similar to that of her Master, which showed that she had been meditating for many years and had been sitting for a long time.

She was about the same height as her Senior Uncle, her chest was a little small but not flat, and her overall figure was extremely agile. She seemed to be sitting cross-legged and still, but it felt like she was floating in the world, changing in countless ways.

It seems to blend into the universe in another way, possessing a kind of natural and harmonious beauty.

Xiao Ran understood; he was a pragmatist.

Xiao Ran didn't understand how this woman found him, since he was wearing a yellow and black Farmer's Robe and had activated the second-level Resonance to merge with heaven and earth. Unless they met face to face within ten feet, it would be difficult for anyone to discover him.

"Who are you?"

The woman spoke, her clear, cool voice echoing through the water, creating a lingering resonance.

It sounds pretty exciting, aside from being cold.

Xiao Ran didn't answer. Although he had a rough idea of the woman's name, he still asked, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name?"

The woman spoke slowly.

"Great River Gate— "

Hearing only half of what was said, Xiao Ran's feet trembled, his figure flashed, and he suddenly struck, tearing through the water waves, pulling himself out of the Water Sphere's grasp.

It raced north at full speed, continuously unleashing powerful bursts of speed, and after traveling hundreds of miles, it once again crashed head-on into the Water Sphere, sinking into its warm and boundless embrace.

The woman was calm, yet carried a faint, Great River Sword Intent as she finished speaking.

"... Murong Yu".

Is this the woman that Master longed for but could not have?

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "When Master overexerts himself, he suffers from severe anemia and dehydration. No wonder he fell for Murong Yu. Who doesn't love the pleasures of love?"

Of course, the Master's failure was also inevitable.

This woman's demeanor may seem aloof, but she is actually colder than aloof—she has no feelings for men or women at all.

Let alone romantic feelings, just look at the temperament and thoughts in his eyes. He doesn't even care whether he is human, beast, flower, or grass. He is like a rock submerged in water. He is a typical type who is single-mindedly devoted to the Tao.

But this rock is a beautiful gem.

But it is still just a stone.

Even if Master is as beautiful as a fairy and as handsome as an unparalleled man, he could never make a stone's heart move.

Xiao Ran was about to spout nonsense and lie about his identity when Murong Yu stared at him and said directly, "You are Xiao Ran of Zongzhi Mountain."

Ah, this...

Xiao Ran thought about it carefully and realized it made sense.

He's Qi Refining Cultivation Level, incredibly strong, and handsome... anyone could guess that.

Xiao Ran took a breath. His withdrawal just now was not actually an escape, but rather an attempt to head north as far away from Gentleman as possible.

This place was relatively safe. As fellow prodigies, Murong Yu was not an enemy. He simply lingered in the embrace of the clear water, Resonance with the water and becoming one with it.

"What do you need me for?"

Murong Yu frowned slightly. For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between her own body and the body of the man in front of her.

The prodigies of the Dao Alliance are never given away for nothing.

She firmly believed this.

But this man seems to be afraid of something.

"You're not afraid of me, you're afraid of something else, what are you running away from?"

Xiao Ran understood.

This woman found him by following the scent of the Single-Winged Bird; her nose was sharper than a dog's! He suddenly had a brilliant idea—if he took this woman to Master and acted as a matchmaker, wouldn't that earn him another wave of Filial Piety Points? Anyway, this woman was a stone, and his Master would definitely still lose; wouldn't it be wonderful to earn Filial Piety Points for free? Although Xiao Ran was avoiding Gentleman, not the Single-Winged Bird, he still lied without changing his expression. "I'm hiding from a very strange Single-Winged Wraith Bird. This place is not safe to stay in for long; let's go to Chaos City and talk about it there."

Murong Yu remained calm and said, "If you want to travel with me, you'd better hand over that bird. The beast core is yours, but I will kill it myself."

Are you really that convinced the Nether Bird is on me? You kill the bird but don't want the divine beast's core, what are you after?

Xiao Ran didn't quite understand this woman's thoughts; in any case, she seemed a bit off.

"Judging from your shoulder injury, it seems you fought with it. I couldn't escape your Water Palm. Even you couldn't kill that bird, how could I possibly kill it?"

Murong Yu shook her head calmly.

"Even I can't outrun that bird, how could you possibly escape? Yet you have no blood on you, which means you didn't kill it. If I'm not mistaken, that bird is currently in your Space Ring. You're in such a hurry to run because you're worried that the bird's owner will come after you."

This woman is not quite right in the head, but she is also too smart.

A woman suddenly becomes less lovable when she becomes intelligent.

Xiao Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

I underestimated this generation of prodigies...

"In any case, it's too dangerous here. Let's go to Chaos City to discuss this in detail."

Murong Yu, however, remained unmoved and insisted:

"I must kill this bird myself. If you are reluctant, or worried that the Wraith Beast of the Nether Beast is not worth much, I can give you money."

Now that you've mentioned this, I'm wide awake! This is going to be a huge profit.

Xiao Ran hurriedly said:

"I caught the Nether Bird, but I used a special spatial spell to send it to my Master. My Master is in Chaos City. If you want to kill the bird, you can come with me."

Murong Yu stared directly at Xiao Ran, her beautiful gem-like eyes seemingly able to see into people's hearts.

You are lying.

Xiao Ran remained completely calm and tossed out his Space Ring.

"I am a famous filial disciple of Zongzhi Mountain. The Space Ring is here. See for yourself."

Murong Yu inspected the Space Ring and found only plant seeds, dried meat, and pastries...

He then tossed the ring back to Xiao Ran.

Where is your Heavenly Pride Ring?

Xiao Ran put away his Space Ring, curled his lip, and said, "It's with Master too. If you don't believe me, search him."

Xiao Ran was surprised that Murong Yu actually searched him.

They searched not only his clothes, but also his body.

Water was poured directly down his throat, the cool, warm water reaching his blood vessels and limbs, washing over his entire body, and finally stopping before the Boundless Qi Sea.

It was as if the little girl was seeing the sea for the first time.

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly removed the water.

Xiao Ran felt that the water was sweet and smooth, without any obstruction, and it washed his whole body clean and pure. He felt as if he had been sublimated, and he was almost ready to chant Amitabha.

Murong Yu remained calm, her heart as still as water.

"Your Dao Heart is stronger than your Master's. I underestimated you. Let's go."

Xiao Ran nodded slightly.

When dealing with a smart woman, tricks are pointless; being assertive and skilled in bed is the only true way to win her over.

As the water rippled, Murong Yu, riding the water, carried Xiao Ran swiftly northward.

As the speed increased, the sphere gradually transformed into Water Drop shape, taking into account both aesthetics and aerodynamics.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but praise him.

"That's amazing."

Murong Yu closed her eyes and remained silent, her face slightly flushed.

She was always calm and composed, but Xiao Ran's comment that she was very impressive almost broke her composure.

In her opinion, Xiao Ran was much more capable.

Xiao Ran was clearly in her water, but she couldn't feel his presence. To put it bluntly, she didn't feel him at all; he was even less noticeable than a needle!

If I hadn't followed the scent of the Nether Bird earlier, I would never have been able to find him in the vast, Dark Forest.

What's even more impressive is that he couldn't sense Xiao Ran's presence at all.

Murong Yu suppressed her emotions and flew at high speed.

Suddenly, Xiao Ran frowned and said:

"There might be Beast Tide ahead, let's take a detour."

Murong Yu slowly opened her eyes, her heart finally at peace.

"Can you bypass your own Dao Heart?"

Xiao Ran didn't understand until Murong Yu led him into the Beast Tide ahead.

An hour later, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood covered the withered trees and the earth, resembling a scene of hell.

Murong Yu's Water Drop -shaped Water Sphere was also stained crimson with his own blood, and could not be completely dissolved.

Xiao Ran didn't make a move the whole time; he simply observed the woman quietly.

Her Great River Sword Intent was profound, but her killing spree was anything but effortless.

She didn't even use her ultimate move; instead, she brutally slaughtered them one by one, her face pale and lifeless throughout, which was terrifying to watch.

Cruel, bloody, and stubborn, yet logically flawless.

Murong Yu noticed Xiao Ran's confusion.

Normally, she wouldn't offer any further explanation.

But the man before her seemed to have a higher level of Dao Heart than she did, so she needed to humbly explain and learn from him.

"Not all diseases have a cure. Regardless of identity or race, and regardless of purpose, killing will end with killing."

Xiao Ran nodded.

Pretend to understand.
