Are you still alive?

The next day.

Hot Spring Cliff.

The mist dissipated, and the sun shone brightly.

A gentle breeze blows, the water glistens, and the small hot spring reflects the scenery of the sea.

The scattered peach petals drifted into the water; half were pulled underwater and eaten by colorful Warm Water Fish, while the other half tumbled down the cliff with the current.

Beautiful endings often turn out tragically.

Xiao Ran never cared about appearance.

Wearing only his underwear, he lay on a floating, Fully Automatic Massage Bed, enjoying the gentle mountain breeze, colorful peach petals, and rhythmic massage in the pool.

With legs crossed and a glass of freshly squeezed mixed fruit juice beside me, I enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

The massage bed is the length of one person, but wider than one person and slightly narrower than two people, which is quite particular.

The bed surface is entirely black, and although it is made of imitation leather, it feels very skin-friendly, warm, and smooth.

While the effect of automatic massage cannot compare to that of Bing Bing, soft hands, it has the advantage of a large massage area and continuous massage without suddenly uttering any frightening words.

Martial Aunt Yinyue left him three days' worth of Wraith Cleansing Pill, three times a day, three pills each time, similar to the way to take cold medicine.

For Xiao Ran, swallowing the Great Wraith Wraith Core and being infected with the Wraith Poison was no different from catching a cold.

The residual Wraith Poison in the physical body was gradually absorbed into the Qi Sea by the Wraith Core.

His Pill Wall became increasingly stable, firmly sealing off the Nether Force. Unless Xiao Ran released it manually, not even a single drop of Nether Force would leak out.

It would be bad if I were to have a Wraith Human with my Master in the future.

Although his strength had increased dramatically, considering that Little Mist might be Gao Shi, Xiao Ran did not practice or test his Netherworld Power on Sword-Wielding Mountain these past few days.

But he felt good about himself.

Unless you encounter a cheater like your Master, you can easily defeat most Nascent Spirit Severing cultivators.

He could easily defeat non-combat fighters like Martial Aunt Yinyue with a single punch.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that swallowing the Wraith Core had gone too smoothly.

Could it be that Master deliberately gave him the food?

Perhaps because they saw that he was too weak to deal with the Apostle, they forced him to grow stronger by turning him into a villain.

The saying "turning evil makes you stronger, turning good makes you weaker" is common sense in all high-martial arts worlds.

Wouldn't it be better to use the villain's power to fight the villain?

Xiao Ran can perfectly control the power of the dark transformation. Wouldn't it be wonderful to pretend to join forces and merge with the enemy? For Xiao Ran, controlling the power of the Wraith Core is not difficult at all.

At the very beginning, in order to fully release the power of the Wraith Core, he made his entire body pitch black and hard. After activating the Resonance Power, he quickly suppressed the Nether Force.

The power of the Wraith Core and the Dragon Vein Power are perfectly integrated, like yin and yang twins.

The entire Qi Sea realm has been elevated, radiating a strange divine radiance.

But these past few days, Xiao Ran has been pretending to be very injured, in pain, and weak, lying on the massage bed.

Enjoying the pampering of Bing Bing and Chuyan, he would get hungry, thirsty, or need to pee.

When hungry or thirsty, one should be fed something Bing Bing.

When she needed to pee, she asked Chuyan to hold her hand and help her.

Lingzhou Yue could only stare helplessly from the side; the wine in her hand no longer tasted good, and the sketchbook no longer looked appealing.

Sunlight falls on Lingzhou Yue's beautiful face, and shimmering waves reflect her smooth, jade-like body.

Seeing that Xiao Ran's massage bed occupied half of the pool, she couldn't swallow her anger.

He put down the wine pot, clutched his ample chest, cleared his throat, coughed twice, and said with a touch of authority, "I'm a little tired."

Xiao Ran squinted at the sky, enjoying the warm sunshine, and casually replied, "My hands hurt, let Bing Bing massage them for you."

Lingzhou Yue suppressed her anger and said coldly:

"I'm a little sleepy."

Xiao Ran continued looking at the sky, patted the mattress and said, "Then Master, come over, it's not impossible for us to squeeze in and sleep together."

Lingzhou Yue swallowed hard, staring longingly at the massage bed.

"Get out of bed and paint. Your teacher wants to see your paintings."

Xiao Ran then said:

"The New Year is coming soon, I'm not in the mood to paint."

Lingzhou Yue's eyebrows twitched slightly. After thinking for a moment, she swallowed her anger and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Xiao Ran only said:

"Self-reliance leads to abundance."

Helpless, Lingzhou Yue decided to go all the way and simply throw her hands up and act coquettishly:

"I want you to feed me!"

Xiao Ran knew exactly what his Master wanted and was completely unmoved by her tricks.

He took out a pastry, and just as he reached out to feed it, he deliberately channeled his inner power into his palm, sucking the pastry clean, leaving only charcoal ash.

"This disciple is now covered in Wraith Poison. Look, the pastries have all turned to ash."

Lingzhou Yue understood, so she retrieved the wine pot, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a hint of resentment:

"Alright, you're holding a grudge. Let's just say it's my fault."

Xiao Ran used a straw as a straw to drink some juice, then looked up at the sky again and said, "Master is not wrong."

Lingzhou Yue stared at Xiao Ran's massage bed and began to seriously reflect.

"I shouldn't have buried you on purpose."

Xiao Ran shook his head. For cultivators, the damage from burying someone is less than that from tickling them.

That's not the point.

Lingzhou Yue thought for a moment, then pretended to be frank and said:

"Alright, I shouldn't have risked feeding you the Wraith Core."

Xiao Ran took a sip of the refreshing freshly squeezed juice before turning to the side.

Under conditions of clear visibility without fog, I stared at my Master's body.

All I could see was the blinding backlight and the shimmering waves.

"No, Master fed me the Wraith Core to help me improve my strength. The Great Wraith Wraith Core may be dangerous to others, but to me, it's like popping candy."

Lingzhou Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief; all her hard work had paid off.

"At least you still have some conscience."

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 10 Filial Piety Points!]

You think you can get rid of me with 10 Filial Piety Points?

Xiao Ran, with grand ambitions, remained unmoved. He activated his Resonance Divine Sense to protect himself from the glare and stared at his Master, saying, "This disciple is wondering, if my Wraith Core power can absorb Master's sword energy, could I then have a child with Master and contribute to the Dharma Ending Era?"

Is my precious apprentice really this clever? Lingzhou Yue blushed slightly, took a sip of wine, and pretended to be flushed.

"It doesn't matter who you have a child with, do you really like your teacher that much?"

Xiao Ran nodded very seriously.

"Yes, Master is magnanimous, and the next generation will have good nutrition."

Lingzhou Yue has grown up so much, she never thought this thing could be an advantage.

Although Xiao Ran's gaze was somewhat lecherous, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

"When it comes to having children, you can't just consider the next generation; you also have to consider the parents' wishes... And you? What do you like about your teacher?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said:

"I'm also malnourished."

Lingzhou Yue crossed her arms, revealing deep cleavage, and gave Xiao Ran a Xiao Ran look.

"Go to hell."

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

Being scolded can actually increase Filial Piety Points, how wonderful.

Xiao Ran lay on his side on the massage bed, facing his Master, his hand supporting his cheek, his body swaying rhythmically as he was massaged.

He seized the opportunity to ask, "And what about Master? What does Master like about me?"

Lingzhou Yue stood proudly with her arms crossed, her red lips slightly upturned.

"I'm sorry, I don't like weaklings, but there's nothing I can do. If I really want to find a man to be my partner, you're the only option in the entire Cultivation World. I have no choice at all."

Xiao Ran:

"Well..."

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine, feigning melancholy.

"I hope that the Dharma Ending Era will not become so severe that everyone is obligated to have children."

Xiao Ran thought to himself that it was already good if everyone was obligated to have children. If the situation forced him to, a handsome guy with excellent genes like him might be taken by the Dao Alliance to be a stud.

"Considering Master's health, things like having children need to be prepared in advance. We can't wait until the situation deteriorates rapidly in the Dharma Ending Era, and then have a disciple go to heaven after just one wedding night."

Lingzhou Yue's fresh red lips parted slightly, her sword-like eyes reflecting shimmering water as she stared directly at Xiao Ran and said, "Are you also a puppet? How can you say such cheesy things with such a righteous face? Your master hasn't even decided to marry anyone yet, aren't you ashamed?"

In this Dharma Ending Era, do you still have time to be ashamed of yourself?

Would a real man who massages his Master's shoulders and legs on his first day on the mountain be ashamed?

Xiao Ran said solemnly, "Who said you have to be a couple to have children? Any healthy couple can have them."

You still want to get something for free? Lingzhou Yue's forehead was covered in black lines, her sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly, she put her arms over her chest and said with great difficulty, "I didn't expect you to be such a good person who loves the world and cares about humanity. Good, very good."

Xiao Ran wasn't doing this for free; he wanted to accumulate filial Filial Piety Points to become stronger and save the world. Therefore, he pretended not to see the anger in his Master's words and simply smiled:

"Would you like some juice, Master?"

"In no mood!"

The Lingzhou Yue trembled, stirring up ripples on the water.

"I said I won't drink anymore, and I won't drink anything from you again. I won't look at your trash paintings either. With that free time, I'll go kill a few Wraith and contribute to the Cultivation World."

That's quite an awareness! Xiao Ran probed, "This disciple is Wraith, why doesn't Master come to kill me?"

Lingzhou Yue gritted her teeth, her clear, sword-like eyes flashing with a chilling light.

"You said it."

"I said it."

"Alright, today I'm going to clean house!"

Lingzhou Yue, rose abruptly, carrying Wine Bamboo Tube in her left hand and a sword in her right.

The world suddenly changed color, and streaks of sword energy tore through the air with eerie, ear-piercing sonic booms.

Lingzhou Yue's eyes turned slightly cold, her face was aloof, and she slashed at Xiao Ran with her sword without any mercy.

Brush--

However, Xiao Ran was prepared.

He flipped himself into the water, lifted the massage bed with both hands, and used the bed as a sword to block his Master's earth-shattering sword strike.

As if stopped by a terrifying force, Lingzhou Yue's sword move came to an abrupt halt, the tip of the sword hovering an inch above the mattress.

The violent shockwave it generated instantly leveled the Sword Bamboo.

The remaining sword energy flew out in all directions, tearing apart the ethereal clouds and mist, as if cleaving a chasm in the sky.

The Fully Automatic Massage Bed remained perfectly still, as if a gentle breeze were blowing.

They had it figured out perfectly.

In the instant that the mattress blocked his Master's sword move from a distance, he seized the opportunity to counterattack.

Gathering dark energy in his palm, he unleashed a devastating palm strike from beneath the mattress.

Lingzhou Yue was still worried about whether the mattress had been damaged by the sword energy when Xiao Ran unexpectedly struck her from under the mattress with an indescribable palm technique.

Moment!

A Righteous Sword Qi, carrying the tides of heaven and earth, roared out! Xiao Ran had positioned himself in advance, and his palm's Nether Force absorbed most of the sword aura.

However, this Righteous Sword Qi was too violent and too persistent.

Xiao Ran was still pierced through the palm by the sword energy, his hand was covered in blood, and bone fragments were sticking out.

However, he remained steadfast in his Green Mountain!

With his left hand, he threw off the mattress, grabbed his Master's right shoulder, and with a horizontal rear naked choke, tripped his Master and threw him into the pool, where they twisted together.

In an instant, sword energy surged like a dragon, spreading in all directions.

Xiao Ran felt as if he had been pierced by ten thousand swords, his internal organs completely riddled with holes, and he was instantly covered in blood.

Lingzhou Yue stared blankly at Xiao Ran, too shocked to speak, and even forgot to resist...

She was hugged by a man!

For a thousand years, this was the first man in her long life of a thousand years who dared to embrace her.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1000 Filial Piety Points!]

Stimulated by the loud system notification, Xiao Ran faced the Righteous Sword Qi head-on, refusing to let his guard down.

The powerful sword energy roared out, growing stronger and stronger, stretching endlessly as if it had no end.

Even after Xiao Ran lost consciousness and the Pill Wall was shattered, he did not let go.

Xiao Ran's Pill Wall shattered, but no new Pill Wall was formed.

This means he's lost even his Qi Refining Cultivation Level and has become a mortal...

Logically speaking, if a cultivator's Pill Wall shatters and their Qi Sea collapses, their physical body will inevitably perish.

However, within Xiao Ran's Boundless Qi Sea, there is a black hole space formed by the Great Wraith Wraith Core, whose terrifying suction force draws all the Spiritual Energy within the Qi Sea into its surroundings.

Although the Pill Wall was shattered, the Qi Sea still maintained its integrity and the Spiritual Pressure of the Spirit Severing Realm.

At the same time.

The Sword Bamboo forest was in a mess.

Bing Bing had just picked some fruit from the Orchard and brought it over for Xiao Ran to juice.

Stepping over the tall Sword Bamboo that had been collectively cut down and fallen to the ground, he saw Xiao Ran in the distance, barely clinging to life after being humiliated by sword energy, and quickly ran over.

After running a few steps, he was grabbed and forced to stand behind a boulder.

"Shh-"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chuyan.

"Sister Chuyan, what are you doing?"

Chuyan Yan crouched down, Mind Concentration her breath, and secretly observed the backlit pool water not far away.

Previously, she designed a hot spring membrane garment and made a sample garment using the Sword Spirit Sewing Machine, intending to have her Grandmaster try it on. However, she witnessed such a stimulating scene.

Seeing Xiao Ran pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords gave me goosebumps all over.

Xiao Ran is too ruthless!

So this is the kind of suffering one has to endure to win over their Grandmaster...

She admired him so much that she didn't even realize she'd been cheated on.

"You absolutely mustn't go there!"

Bing Bing frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

"But Xiao Ran is injured."

Chuyan shook her head, her expression meaningful.

"You don't understand, he's secretly very happy."

Bing Bing examined it carefully and said:

"I can feel the immense pain he's enduring right now. His Pill Wall has even shattered; it's a miracle he's still alive. How can he still be happy?"

Chuyan felt a pang of sadness, yet also a thrill, and said with a touch of anticipation:

"Idiot, they're about to have a baby."

As it turns out, even the Master's Qi Sea was weakened after unleashing such a violent sword aura.

As for Xiao Ran, even the Pill Wall) was breached...

Lingzhou Yue didn't know what to say. Being hugged so tightly made her feel a little numb, and she said weakly:

Are you still alive?

Xiao Ran was still alive, of course. After all, he had used his physical body Qi Sea to withstand the attack, so his Spiritual Power consumption was minimal. Compared to his Master, he was practically still alive and kicking.

"Now that Master's Qi Sea is almost empty, is it time to take another step forward?"

Lingzhou Yue was speechless.

"You..."

In the fallen Sword Bamboo, Chuyan excitedly pointed ahead and said to Bing Bing, "The most exciting part is coming!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cracking sound came from the edge of the pool, and sword energy, like a dragon, soared into the sky.

Xiao Ran also ascended into the sky, and fragments of gray linen stained with blood slowly drifted down from the sky.

Like petals drifting above the pond...

[Congratulations, host, you have gained 10,000 Filial Piety Points!]
