In this world, what is love?

During the three days that Xiao Ran was away from Sword-Wielding Mountain.

Chuyan had no Xiao Ran in serving Lingzhou Yue like Xiao Ran had ever had. She had long since become Pastoral Fairy, obsessed with cotton planting, silkworm raising, weaving, and tailoring, even more so than she had been with her Grandmaster.

And so, Lingzhou Yue returned to her previous carefree state, where no one took care of her. She was fed by herself, and the rest of the family was not hungry. She would take baths, play with Bamboo Tile, and lazily recline on pine branches to look at picture books.

After looking at it for a while, Lingzhou Yue realized that the main plot of "Horse Breaks the Sky" was actually about fighting monsters and leveling up. Just refining medicine took more than ten pages to draw, and the romance plot progressed very slowly.

Besides the female lead Yun Yun, there are also supporting female characters like Gu Xun'er, Medusa, Little Fairy Doctor, and Nalan Yanran, which seriously distract from the romantic storyline, making it difficult for Xiao Yan and Yun Yun to have any sweet moments together, which makes her very anxious.

Perhaps due to her physical condition, she was unable to form a relationship with a man, Lingzhou Yue placed many long-dormant feelings from her girlhood on Yun Yun.

That's when he unusually took a keen interest in reading Xiao Ran's painting, "Horse Breaks the Sky".

The more I watched, the more something seemed off. Yun Yun had very few scenes; the entire story revolved around alchemy, monster-fighting, martial arts training, and ambiguous relationships with the female supporting character.

Especially that Medusa, she always seemed like an old married couple with Xiao Yan, Gu Xun'er even seemed like she was already betrothed to him.

Meanwhile, Yun Yun was still alone in her room at the Cloud Mist Sect, just like how bored she was right now...

What a terrible story!

I've given up!

Xiao Yan is a scumbag, not worth mentioning.

Her beloved apprentice is still the most filial and devoted.

They both have the surname Xiao, one is an author and the other is a protagonist. How can there be such a big difference between people?

Thinking of his disciple, the disciple arrived.

Lingzhou Yue's eyes flickered, and she sensed Xiao Ran's Spiritual Pressure from a great distance.

She sat up cross-legged, stretched languidly on the pine branch, and thought:

The wonderful time of being waited on is back!

Xiao Ran is so much better. He always thinks of his Master and is concerned about Master. He went to the Divine Martial Kingdom on business and returned so quickly. He's so much better than Xiao Yan! Thinking this, I saw Xiao Ran returning on his sword. Before he even arrived, he called out from afar—

"Master, I've brought my wife back!"

Lingzhou Yue stretched halfway, then suddenly wilted.

For a moment, she felt as if she had just read Xiao Ran's autobiography.

Can you really bring your wife back after just three days in the Divine Martial Kingdom?

You're even better than Xiao Yan! Lingzhou Yue sharpened her sword, but temporarily restrained her impulse. She wanted to see what Xiao Ran's wife was like first, and whether she was the type he liked.

Xiao Ran landed on the Sword Plaza on his sword and saw his beautiful Master sitting cross-legged on a branch. She still had that long-lost graceful and ethereal beauty.

Having not seen his Master for three days, Xiao Ran missed him dearly. He came up to fulfill his filial duty and embraced Bing Bing, who was dressed in his blue robes, to greet his Master.

"So, this is my wife, Bing Bing. Does Master like her?"

You've even put your clothes on...

Lingzhou Yue smiled but didn't say anything.

Before I knew it, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and it was as if a gravitational black hole had appeared overhead, gathering all things in the world to its center.

Xiao Ran looked up and sensed that something was wrong.

The Wraith?

No! This Spiritual Pressure is even more terrifying than that of the Wraith! Xiao Ran shivered all over and was about to ask his Master what to do when the black hole above his head suddenly dispersed, transforming into a towering wave falling from the sky.

"Master, be careful—"

In an instant, Xiao Ran knew that his Master was angry, but he still pretended not to know and, like a moth to a flame, leaped towards his Master.

In return, however, came the merciless waves.

Xiao Ran was struck diagonally by a wave that came from the sky, and was sent flying eastward like a cannonball, crashing into the base of Morning Dawn Peak.

In an instant, the entire Morning Dawn Peak began to shake, a shaking that lasted for a full hundred breaths.

Disciples who didn't know the situation might have thought it was an earthquake.

Why is Master so angry? Didn't we agree to find a wife he likes and have a threesome? Xiao Ran pondered for a long time underground, bearing the pressure of the entire mountain, and truly understood the immense pressure.

Half an hour later, Han Erleng and Wang Tiezhu dug a pit at the foot of the mountain and pulled him out.

The two men brushed the dirt off Xiao Ran's body.

"Uncle-Master Xiao, the entire Morning Dawn Peak was almost shaken to pieces. You and the elders went too far."

"Many disciples on the mountain went to the Discipline Hall to complain, but only the two of us were willing to delay our cultivation to painstakingly dig out our uncle. We may not have done anything meritorious, but we have certainly put in the effort. You see..."

"Damn it! Who's disturbing my sleep?"

Xiao Ran groggily opened his eyes, but his sleepy eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

He didn't even glance at Han Erleng and Wang Tiezhu, his face filled with melancholy as he recited to himself. "What is love in this world? It makes people willing to die for each other. A pair of lovers flying across the vast sky, their old wings have weathered many winters and summers..."

Xiao Ran's gaze was both affectionate and bewildered. He recited a poem, then his figure flashed, his back looking forlorn, and he returned to Sword-Wielding Mountain on his sword.

Only Han Erleng and Wang Tiezhu remained, frowning as they pondered the poem left by Xiao Ran.

"What is love in this world? It makes people willing to die for it..."

"How much heartbreak must my uncle have suffered to be able to compose such a wonderful poem?"

The two chewed carefully, completely forgetting about asking Xiao Ran for a kickback.

Prepared to be scolded, Xiao Ran returned to Sword-Wielding Mountain with trepidation.

It turned out that Master, Chuyan, and Bing Bing were playing Fight the Wraith on a stone table in a pavilion by the water.

The big Orange Cat, as usual, was fishing by flicking its tail in the crevices of the rocks by the water, trying to Fanghua.

The three people by the pool were chatting and laughing, having a great time and completely forgetting his presence.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran return, Lingzhou Yue's smile vanished, and she solemnly declared, "I hereby declare that from today onwards, your wife belongs to me."

Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing a smile, and deliberately asked:

"So, my wife, are you satisfied?"

Lingzhou Yue nodded without a smile, looking just like a mother-in-law testing her daughter-in-law's housework skills.

"Your wife is amazing, especially her Card Skills in Fight the Wraith, they're really good."

How could my wife not be moisturized?

Xiao Ran set the Fight the Wraith rules for Bing Bing in the Battle of the Netherworld: when fighting against her Master, her win rate is 51%; when fighting against others, her win rate is 99%.

In other words, an invincible master of the Fight the Wraith was almost defeated by his Master.

Although the Master did not win, this kind of joy is also one of the pinnacle experiences of competitive sports.

If the Master feels that losing is just due to luck, he will have the desire to keep playing.

However, Xiao Ran had no intention of deceiving his Master.

"This is Fight the Wraith puppet that I specially commissioned in the Divine Martial Kingdom. I bought it specifically to play cards with my Master."

Xiao Ran confessed.

Lingzhou Yue was suddenly taken aback.

Upon closer inspection, it really is a puppet!

She was completely unaware that, although she could easily discover it with a simple use of her advanced divine sense, the puppet was far too realistic. Not only was it complete with flesh and blood, but its intelligence was also indistinguishable from that of a real person.

Even now that she's confirmed to be a puppet, she still finds it unbelievable that she's touching Bing Bing all over, feeling the realistic body temperature and texture.

"So soft and warm!" Lingzhou Yue asked curiously, lost in thought.

"Isn't it a waste to use such a beautiful female puppet only to Fight the Wraith?"

"Not only Fight the Wraith, Bing Bing will also give you a back massage and shoulder rub."

As Xiao Ran said this, he went over and massaged his Master's shoulders.

Bing Bing understood immediately and gave Lingzhou Yue a back massage.

The purpose was to let the Master feel, through comparison, that Bing Bing's skills were in no way inferior to Xiao Ran's, and even more varied than Xiao Ran's.

Lingzhou Yue was clearly enjoying herself, closing her eyes to experience the difference between the two.

While rubbing his shoulders, Xiao Ran whispered in his Master's ear, "The storm that suddenly appeared just now was too strong. Even I couldn't withstand it and almost fainted. Master, are you alright?"

Lingzhou Yue frowned slightly.

Didn't he realize it was my Cultivation Method? That makes sense, Xiao Ran had never seen this move before, and the power it triggered wasn't her own.

Even though he couldn't handle it, he still rushed forward without hesitation, almost causing him to faint.

Lingzhou Yue remained calm and composed, her shimmering, clear face fully unfolded like a painting.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment for a long time before slowly speaking.

"At least you still have some conscience."

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 588 Filial Piety Points!]

Xiao Ran was startled.

He turned to look at Bing Bing, and they smiled at each other.

Is this all thanks to Bing Bing playing with him?

Or was it thanks to his own self-sacrifice in saving his master?

Or is it calculated by combining all factors? In any case, it wasn't in vain that I slept for half an hour on the foundation of Morning Dawn Peak.

Chuyan, who was standing to the side, had already realized that Bing Bing was a puppet, but she was still amazed by Bing Bing's lifelike physique and intelligence that was comparable to that of a human.

She got up and compared herself to the puppet, carefully examining Bing Bing from the inside out.

Thinking that if the puppets of the Divine Martial Kingdom could be so realistic, in a few hundred years, without the invasion of the Wraith, the humans of the Divine Martial Kingdom would probably become extinct.

"There's something wrong with your puppet. It's much better than me at Fight the Wraith, but it can't beat our Grandmaster."

Xiao Ran coughed twice and hurriedly explained, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation. Doesn't this prove that Master's Fight the Wraith skills against the Netherworld have greatly improved?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran activated his Formless Stealth and secretly slipped Chuyan a Sword Spirit Sewing Machine that he had specially customized for her.

Chuyan's face lit up. Without examining it closely, she only noticed the sewing Spirit Runes and immediately recognized it as a treasure.

"I see. I was too arrogant. I need to learn more from my Grandmaster in the Fight the Wraith."

Learning to Fight the Wraith from her Grandmaster... There's nothing wrong with that statement, which is why she could say it without batting an eye.

"You can't fool me."

Lingzhou Yue shook his head, raised the wine jug, and gulped down the wine. After finishing the jug, he had the clear-headed look of a wise man.

"One must face the gap squarely, even the smallest gap is still a gap. My Card Skills are not as good as Bing Bing's at the moment, but if I continue to study Fight the Wraith, I will definitely be able to make up for this gap in time."

Xiao Ran smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, "This 2% gap is a chasm that you, Master, can never bridge!"

Chuyan's face flushed slightly, her mind wandering far away, her thoughts completely elsewhere than on Fight the Wraith.

Although she had never seen a sewing machine before, she could understand the weaving Spirit Runes inside, so she guessed that it was a magical artifact that could quickly weave clothes according to a design.

Knitting clothes is a slow process, so Chuyan would design what she considered to be the most perfect version from scratch before she would start knitting.

However, if she had a quick knitting tool, she could design and knit many of her designs simultaneously, modifying and perfecting them as she went, without having to rely on imagination.

She stared blankly at Xiao Ran for a moment, not expecting that this idiot was actually quite thoughtful and cared about her needlework business.

Is this what he has to offer to flirt with girls everywhere?

Could it be that he also wants me to have his child? Chuyan trembled with fright and didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was so excited that she ran away as if she had found a treasure.

She couldn't wait to try out Xiao Ran's sewing machine and design a New Year's outfit for her Grandmaster.

Seeing Chuyan to her Disciple Quarters, Lingzhou Yue turned her head and looked at Xiao Ran with a hint of resentment.

"Fool, do you think I don't know your little tricks? Since you can set up the technical difficulty of the Fight the Wraith, why not just let her help me win? Are you afraid of losing credibility and no one will believe you? In your eyes, my skills are not even as good as a puppet?"

So Master saw through it all along? I underestimated her!

But where did this unfounded confidence come from? Xiao Ran hurriedly asked:

"Bing Bing's skills are professional, even surpassing those of her apprentices."

"That's good. Having someone to learn from as a teacher will help us both improve."

Lingzhou Yue tilted his head back and drank, looking quite carefree and content, and said meaningfully:

"Although her vibration skills are not as good as yours, she has a wide variety of techniques, which I like very much. You have done a great job this time."

"As long as Master is happy."

"Seeing how well-behaved Bing Bing is, I'm starting to regret not going to the Divine Martial Kingdom. So, how was Divine Martial Kingdom?"

Lingzhou Yue asked curiously.

"It's very exciting."

Xiao Ran truthfully replied, "This disciple even encountered the Great Netherworld."

Lingzhou Yue had some doubts.

"The Divine Martial Kingdom also has a Great Underworld? I don't believe it."

Xiao Ran then took out the Great Wraith Wraith Core that he had painstakingly obtained by sleeping with his master and handed it over to Master.

"This is the Great Wraith Wraith Core, Master, please take a look."

Lingzhou Yue frowned. This was Spirit Severing level Great Nether Core... This kid was strong! "The Great Wraith Wraith Core is so small, who are you trying to fool? Let me study it carefully, so you won't be cheated by the people selling Wraith Core."

As she said this, she casually Great Wraith Wraith Core to her waist.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 288 Filial Piety Points!]

Xiao Ran smiled without saying a word, his filial piety Filial Piety Points.

Seeing that half-smiling expression, Lingzhou Yue sensed that he was still hiding a treasure.

Do you have any other treasures that I can help you take a look at?

Xiao Ran thought for a moment.

The two million Spirit Stone I earned will be kept for emergencies and I don't plan to hand them over to my Master for the time being.

Master has already taken over Bing Bing; Xiao Ran plans to keep the massage bed for himself to rest on.

All I had left in my pocket was a crib.

After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and took it out anyway.

"I have a treasure here that holds all my treasures."

Lingzhou Yue one look and realized that the shaky little wooden bed was completely unsuitable for her figure.

"What kind of bed is this? And why is it movable?"

Xiao Ran truthfully replied, "This is a multi-functional baby crib."

Lingzhou Yue was taken aback.

"A crib? Can a surrogate mother still get pregnant?"

Bing Bing, standing to the side, covered her mouth and laughed:

"This was custom-made by Xiao Ran for you, Master— "

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ran turned off the puppet's spiritual source with a thought.

Xiao Ran picked up the conversation, deliberately teasing:

"This is the latest model of puppet from the Divine Martial Kingdom. Of course it can get pregnant. Master, you are not even as good as a puppet."

You idiot!

Lingzhou Yue's eyes twitched slightly as she suppressed her anger. She glanced at Xiao Ran and said with disdain, "With your limited skills, you can only bully puppets."

Even my Master is questioning my sexual prowess? Xiao Ran was unconvinced and decided to speak lewdly.

"Actually, this crib was prepared for the disciples and the Master. In the Dharma Ending Era, talented people are the most important resource. The Master's unparalleled talent in Fight the Wraith must be passed down from generation to generation."

Lingzhou Yue's words caught in her throat, and she stared in disbelief.

Xiao Ran's words, at first glance, sounded like blasphemy and disloyalty, but upon closer listening, they actually made some sense.

This left her speechless. After a long pause, she finally said, "I never imagined you would have such a noble heart for saving the world. As for Dao Companion, in terms of talent, you are indeed worthy of me as your master. Now that you have my Blood Jade Bone, we are practically one, even closer than ordinary Dao Companion. So your idea is very reasonable and logical."

Xiao Ran:

"So..."

Lingzhou Yue changed the subject:

"It's a pity you're too weak. I don't want you to die before the baby is born. I don't want our master-disciple relationship to end up as life-and-death buddies."
