Are you a child who hasn't grown up?

Lingzhou Yue had just arrived in Chaos City and hadn't even gone to find Master Xiao Ran's wife when she went straight to Wanhua Ward to start promoting the highest cause of Sword-Wielder: Fight the Wraith.

Xiao Ran's great undertaking of Fight the Wraith had only just begun. He hadn't even earned his first pot of gold, and hadn't even warmed his seat yet, when he returned after completing his cultivation ahead of schedule.

She's carrying Little Yu'er, whom she desperately pursued back then! Isn't this like the Imperial Harem on fire? Lingzhou Yue was covered in black lines, and the beautiful woman in her hands suddenly lost her appeal.

She stared at Xiao Ran, her shimmering eyes flashing with the light of a sword.

Upon closer inspection, Murong Yu's natal water was still present in Xiao Ran's body, indicating that the two had already Dual Cultivation and exchanging Spiritual Power.

You've already picked up a girl after just a short time of training? She'd been pursuing this woman for years without success, and Xiao Ran won her over in just a few hours...

"Are you some kind of Casanova?!" She inexplicably felt as if her precious apprentice had been stolen away.

This feeling is very subtle.

Two emotions swirled in her mind, and the icy-hot power of the alcohol coursed through her body. Suddenly, she felt two green lights appear before her eyes at the same time.

"You... idiot!"

Lingzhou Yue was furious. She grabbed Xiao Ran's shoulder, ready to throw him out of Chaos City to settle the matter.

Xiao Ran suddenly grabbed his Master's shoulder and used his Resonance Divine Sense to activate the Bone of the Blood Moon, forcibly connecting with his Master's soul. He then explained in detail the cause of the matter and the next tactics.

Lingzhou Yue turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran with a look of astonishment.

Not only are you innocent with Little Yu'er, but you're also helping Master Divine Dragon Tail Swing? I still remember the first day Xiao Ran went up the mountain, she actually fantasized about this scene!

I never imagined it would actually happen...

Sure enough, having a handsome apprentice has its advantages! Lingzhou Yue stared at Xiao Ran with a dreamy look in her eyes.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 38 Filial Piety Points!]

Xiao Ran smiled without saying a word.

I never imagined that just connecting Master with someone would earn me 38 Filial Piety Points. If this deal goes through, wouldn't I be on my way to heaven?

Lingzhou Yue composed herself and released Xiao Ran.

He turned his head and glanced at Murong Yu indifferently.

She didn't care about looks or figure at all, since she already had those herself.

What she admired was Murong Yu's unwavering devotion to the Dao, his seemingly ingrained stubbornness, his clear-headed and uncomplaining nature, and his free-spiritedness that allowed him to roam freely through the world...

Following Xiao Ran's advice, she decided to change her previous tactics and refuse to be a sycophant anymore. With her clear eyes like swords, she looked down at him and said, "The matter of the divine bird is easy to discuss. You have to accompany me to do what I love to do, such as playing a game against the Wraith first."

A plate of Wraith? Murong Yu frowned slightly. This was the first time she had heard that Wraith was calculated in plates.

Are these master and disciple even willing to eat the Wraith? Although she didn't see any spiritual exchange between Xiao Ran and Senior Ling Zhou, Senior Ling Zhou's expression clearly changed suddenly.

Something's not right...

Her gaze was cool and aloof as she politely bowed and asked, "Senior Ling Zhou, can this bird you mentioned spit?"

The casino was completely silent.

The surrounding guests were stunned and looked at each other in disbelief.

Is this really the legendary aloof and proud Murong Yu?

Lingzhou Yue's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly, her chest trembling with anger.

Murong Yu! I misjudged you! Are men really that fragrant? Lingzhou Yue said decisively.

Murong Yu was slender and graceful, with an extremely calm gaze, like a completely solidified gemstone.

"I understand. The bird isn't with you, Senior. It's with Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Xiao Ran was speechless and wanted to make a quick getaway.

She had explained everything in such detail to her Master, but she still couldn't resist her emotions and fell for Murong Yu's trick.

Murong Yu is such a shrewd woman!

Lingzhou Yue realized her mistake and quickly said, "Where the bird is is not important. Based on the principle of fairness and justice, I will not interfere this time. If you can defeat my disciple in one move, the bird is yours."

The shopkeeper panicked when he heard that a competition was going to be held.

What kind of power is there in a contest between geniuses?

"Elder Lingzhou, our gambling den is too small. Would you like to move to another location?"

Lingzhou Yue nodded confidently.

"Don't worry, they are all experts. They can decide the outcome in a small space. They can't destroy your temple."

Before the words were finished, a loud bang—

The gambling den collapsed.

A torrent of Great River Sword Intent instantly ripped off the roof, condensing into millions of swords of icy water that circled around Xiao Ran, creating a bottomless vortex of sword Qi Sea that pierced straight into Xiao Ran's dantian.

Lingzhou Yue, carrying the shopkeeper and several beautiful women, suspended in the air to watch the show.

Xiao Ran stood atop the ruins, unmoved.

Murong Yu unleashed his strongest attack— the Great River Whirlwind Sword —but it couldn't harm Xiao Ran in the slightest.

Is this the difference between a river and the sea?

Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters come from the sky, rushing to the sea never to return?

Have you not seen the sorrow reflected in the bright mirror of the high hall, where white hair, once black as silk in the morning, has turned to snow by evening?

Murong Yu suddenly understood, and in the blink of an eye, his hair turned completely white, and his face revealed a rare radiance.

Her cultivation journey had just begun when she encountered the unshakeable boundless sea, which was fortunate.

Xiao Ran glanced at her; the woman, having exhausted all her strength, suddenly had a head of white hair, which ironically made her even more beautiful...

"The bird I caught belongs to Master. If you want a bird, you have to learn more from Master."

Study...

Brilliant!

Lingzhou Yue immediately recognized his expertise.

Murong Yu replied, "Forget about the bird, we'll meet again."

After saying this, Murong Yu tossed a storage bag full of Spirit Stone to the shopkeeper as an apology and then left.

Xiao Ran was stunned, staring at Murong Yu's graceful departure, not understanding her logic.

Isn't the focus on the bird?

How could you let it go so easily? Lingzhou Yue stood to the side, her eyes twitching slightly, her gaze sharp as she stared intently at Xiao Ran, having witnessed firsthand his strategy of winning hearts and minds.

"Fool, you've corrupted her Dao Heart; she'll never escape this fate."

Xiao Ran roughly understood and laughed, "Why run away? This disciple hasn't even made a move yet, otherwise I would have punched her until she cried."

Lingzhou Yue gripped Xiao Ran's shoulders tightly, secretly exerting force until she almost drew blood.

"You rascal, do you need your master to introduce you to a mistress? If you keep going like this, you'll become my Master."

"This disciple dares not."

Lingzhou Yue turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Hurry up and rebuild the gambling den, and promote Fight the Wraith. I'll give you three days to make a fortune. After that, I will charge a one-time copyright fee to any gambling den in the city that offers Fight the Wraith games."

"You really know how to have fun!" the shopkeeper said respectfully. "Thank you, senior!"

Lingzhou Yue leaped up on her sword, snatched Xiao Ran like an eagle grabbing Xiao Ran, and flew straight towards the North City, disregarding traffic rules.

Seeing her Master charging around recklessly without any traffic police arresting her, Xiao Ran said anxiously:

"Master, where are we going now?"

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine.

"Of course I'm going to see your master's wife. I owe her a million Spirit Stone. If you can kidnap her, I won't have to pay back the money."

Xiao Ran sensed a deadly trap in the question!

"This disciple dares not."

Ah, men, they want it but dare not.

Lingzhou Yue then asked, "How is Little Yu'er?"

Xiao Ran was taken aback.

"What do you mean, how about it?"

"Is it exciting?"

"The disciple was simply searched inside and out by her using water; it wasn't exciting at all."

Lingzhou Yue's clear eyes rippled slightly, like the shimmering light of a lake, but beneath the surface lay Sword Intent! "What, you want something even more exciting?"

Xiao Ran hurriedly said:

"This disciple only wants to stay by Master's side forever. Master, please don't leave me to fight monsters alone next time, okay?"

"You're putting on a really good victim act!" Lingzhou Yue sneered.

"You're spineless! Are you some kind of overgrown child?"

Xiao Ran silently endured the scolding.

I thought it wasn't impossible...

After venting her pent-up resentment, Lingzhou Yue asked, "Is your divine beast valuable?"

Really!

Xiao Ran felt that the divine beast that controlled the Wraith Poison was of great value and should not be sold off by his Master so easily, so he said.

"It used to be a divine beast, now it's Wraith Beast. Can Wraith Beast be worth anything?"

Lingzhou Yue took a swig of wine and sighed, "If it weren't worth much, I should have given it to Little Yu'er."

Xiao Ran then said:

"Although the Nether Bird is worthless to us, it is very valuable to someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Murong Yu. The first rule of winning a woman's heart is not to give her a gift that is very valuable to her at the beginning. This will make it seem too purposeful. You can try to give her some small gifts that are not important but can show your intentions first."

Lingzhou Yue seemed to understand something, and suddenly turned her head to stare at Xiao Ran, her shimmering eyes sparkling with soft light.

"Is this your reason for only giving me a hairpin after two months of training?"

Ah, this...

Xiao Ran subconsciously glanced at his Master's hair.

Her long hair was tied in a knot at the end and secured into a braid with the Sword Moon Red Hairpin that Xiao Ran had given her.

It's absolutely gorgeous.
