Hold Me

The name Nong Zhu was renowned throughout Xuanxuan Island. The roar of the Ancestor Nanming caused the winding, meandering path below to rumble and awaken everyone. Those busy at the foot of the mountain quickly looked around, their gazes finally settling on Nong Zhu. Nong Zhu knew quite a few people here, having frequented the area before.

"Hehe! Long time no see! You guys are busy!" Nong Zhu waved to everyone with a smile, but as soon as he turned around, his face turned sour, and he quickly darted away. As soon as he shot out of the cave, he shouted, "Old man Nanming, what are you yelling about? I wouldn't even want this pile of scrap metal you have here if you gave it to me for free."

The two stood less than half a meter apart, their eyes locked, sparks flying. Nong Zhu gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand, and shouted, "Give me back my things!"

"When did I ever take your things?" the Ancestor Nanming retorted.

Nong Zhu wiped the spittle off his face and spat back, "Old Bi asked me to bring this; you just took it."

"That was given to me by Bi Changchun. You were just a messenger. When did it become yours?" The Ancestor Nanming wiped the spittle from his face and turned to shout at Flying Dragon, "Go!"

The Flying Dragon whooshed into the sky, and the Ancestor Nanming swiftly followed. He landed firmly on its back, and the Flying Dragon, carrying the two, quickly passed through the mist. Nong Zhu caught up in mid-air, standing side-by-side with the Ancestor Nanming without hesitation, both letting out a cold snort. The Flying Dragon was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a black dot on the distant horizon...

Crossing mountains and rivers is nothing to them. After traversing the vast Demon Ghost Domain, Nong Zhu and Ancestor Nanming arrived above Shuntian Island on their Flying Dragon. As soon as they arrived, they heard Bi Changchun's voice ringing out in the air. "Brother Nanming, your arrival at my Shuntian Island is a great honor!" As he spoke, Bi Changchun's slender and graceful figure appeared outside the main house. This great master personally came to greet them.

Two figures flashed down, and the Ancestor Nanming bowed and said, "I dare not!" His temper was considered bad in the Cultivation World, but when he saw Bi Changchun, he still did a good job of basic etiquette and dared not be presumptuous in front of this world-renowned number one expert.

Nong Zhu looked at the direction of the plantation with a suspicious expression and asked, "Old Bi, what's wrong with Ziyi?" He had just seen Ziyi acting crazy, waving her arms and jumping around, while he was still in the air.

Bi Changchun ignored him and waved to the Ancestor Nanming, saying, "Please come in!" The Ancestor Nanming thanked him and looked up at the Flying Dragon with its wings flapping in the air, shouting, "Find a place to stay quietly and don't disturb the peace of Shuntian Island."

He then went inside with Bi Changchun. The Flying Dragon in the air let out a low howl, turned around, and flew away obediently, landing in a corner of Shuntian Island.

Nong Zhu teleported to the abandoned plantation, where he saw Ziyi making strange movements. She hadn't even noticed him standing next to her for a while, and had managed to make herself drenched in sweat. He was startled and asked, "Ziyi, what are you doing?"

Ziyi suddenly stopped, turned around and saw it was her master. She immediately burst into tears, throwing herself into Nong Zhu's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Nong Zhu's heart clenched, and she patted her daughter's shoulder gently, comforting her, "Ziyi, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"Yue... Yue Qianchou ...he..." Ziyi sobbed uncontrollably. Nong Zhu's eyes widened, and she shouted, "Yue Qianchou, you bastard, how dare you bully Ziyi! Get out here!"

This sound was no less than a thunderclap, immediately provoking Bi Changchun's resounding rebuke. "Nong Zhu, what do you want to do?" Although his voice was not as loud as Nong Zhu's, the resounding power of his voice, which was like a demon-slaying weapon, struck Nong Zhu without missing a single word, shaking people's hearts.

The Ancestor Nanming, who was sitting cross-legged with Bi Changchun inside the house, secretly chuckled to himself and casually remarked, "This fellow is no good." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he was stirring up trouble and immediately corrected himself, asking, "Who is Yue Qianchou?"

"That is indeed my disciple's name," Bi Changchun said, a hint of pride in his voice. The Ancestor Nanming let out a long "Oh." He silently noted the name; a disciple who could make Bi Changchun so proud must be an extraordinary person. He nodded and said, "Brother Bi's disciple must be a talented individual; I'd like to see him for myself."

"Hehe! Brother Nanming, you're a little late. My apprentice left a day earlier," Bi Changchun said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing Bi Changchun's outburst, Ziyi from the plantation stopped crying and Nong Zhu, whose face was ashen, saying, "Master, he didn't really bully me, he just said I'm stupid?"

Nong Zhu was furious and said, "How could my apprentice be stupid? Even if he's stupid, he's still smarter than him. He's..." His expression suddenly twisted, and he turned around and asked, "He just said you're stupid, and you're crying like this?"

The Ziyi lowered her head and said sadly, "Elder Bi taught us the same Method Formula. I was indeed slower than him in comprehending it, so I asked him to teach me. But after teaching me for a short time, he said he couldn't stand me and that I was too stupid and couldn't be carved. So he left me alone and left the Demon Ghost Domain."

Upon hearing this, Nong Zhu was stunned, feeling both joy and worry. She was happy that Bi Changchun was truly kind enough to pass on the Method Formula to her daughter. However, she was worried because she sensed her daughter was becoming somewhat dependent on Yue Qianchou, which was a bad omen!

The Cultivation Method created by Bi Changchun was unprecedented and unparalleled in the world. Ziyi was dumbfounded when she saw it; she had absolutely no idea what it meant, let alone how to learn it. Nearly driven to despair, Ziyi became attached to Yue Qianchou. As a result, Yue Qianchou was also nearly driven to despair by Ziyi, discovering that this woman was like a mule—she simply couldn't learn no matter how he tried. However, Ziyi was relentless and wouldn't let go, impossible to shake off.

Originally, Yue Qianchou had planned to wait for the Ancestor Nanming to arrive so he could witness the refining of the spiritual treasure. However, after hearing Bi Changchun say that the preparation alone would take a month or so Yue Qianchou couldn't wait any longer. Finally, when Ziyi pestered him again, he scolded Ziyi and then resolutely bid farewell to Bi Changchun.

Bi Changchun complete control over both of their actions and deeply understood his disciple's pain. He himself was exceptionally talented; if he were to teach Ziyi in this way, he too would be furious. Therefore, he agreed to Yue Qianchou's departure, while also giving Yue Qianchou: "If you truly encounter difficulties from Spirit Transformation stage cultivator, try your best to resolve them yourself. If you are truly unable to handle it, feel free to mention your master's name; I'd like to see who dares to touch you." His words were laced with murderous intent.

Bi Changchun immediately crafted three communication jade pendants for Yue Qianchou. These pendants weren't actually for transmitting messages; rather, each contained a wisp of Bi Changchun's Divine Sense. In other words, if Yue Qianchou encountered any trouble and crushed a pendant, Bi Changchun would immediately sense where his disciple had gone.

Perhaps due to the great distance, even with Bi Changchun's cultivation level, he wouldn't be able to arrive in time, but the place where Yue Qianchou's accident happened next will be earth-shattering...

Yue Qianchou happily took the jade pendant and left. Damn, this time they're really letting him do whatever he wants! But as happy as he was, he knew one thing: these three jade pendants shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary. Using them for every little thing would be an insult to his abilities...

Before leaving the Demon Ghost Domain, Yue Qianchou chatted with Yu Ji for a while, telling her to focus on her cultivation. After leaving the Demon Ghost Domain, he found a secluded spot and vanished in a flash...

Utopia hadn't returned for a long time, and as soon as Yue Qianchou appeared, he stood beside Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen wasn't surprised. She knew that he was the only one who could suddenly appear beside her in Utopia. She looked up at him with a faint smile, put down the Azure Nether Sword in her hand, stood up, and gently asked, "You've come."

Yue Qianchou nodded, gazing at her serene and Jue Tian beautiful face for a long time, unwilling to look away. The moment he saw her, he felt his entire body and mind completely relax; at this moment, he was truly himself. It was always like this; he was infected by her, becoming like her, without desire or wants!

She had no demands of him, no ties to him, and never even threw a tantrum. She only understood and supported him unconditionally, without reservation, everything was done silently, forever without complaint or regret.

"I really want to put this sword away, but I know you'll be unhappy. It pains me to see you suffer like this. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given you this sword." Yue Qianchou shook his head and smiled bitterly as he looked at the Azure Nether Sword on the bed.

"Since you know I'll be upset, then don't bring it up again," Bai Suzhen said softly, glancing at him from head to toe. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she asked, "Why are you covered in so much mud?"

"Ha! I've been practicing a kung fu recently, all sorts of grueling training." Yue Qianchou recalled the process of practicing the bird-fighting exercise, his face full of helplessness, seemingly not feeling any effects so far.

"Change into something else! So your parents and Ping'er won't worry if they see you outside." Bai Suzhen said, gently leaning closer and reaching out to help him take off his outer garment. Yue Qianchou took out another garment from his Storage Bag, and after removing his dirty clothes, Bai Suzhen took the clothes from his hands and helped him change back into them.

Afterwards, both of them wore knowing smiles, Yue Qianchou opened his arms and said, "Let me hug you."

Bai Suzhen tilted her head as she watched him, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and leaned against him with a faint smile. Yue Qianchou gently pulled her into his arms, burying his face in her hair. Inhaling the delicate fragrance, he murmured, "I'm going to leave the Huaxia Cultivation World and travel around."

Bai Suzhen felt his heartbeat, a faint sense of satisfaction on her face, and gently asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

"As long as I can see you every time I come back, I have endless motivation when I'm out here. That's more important than anything you do," Yue Qianchou said, turning his head with a touch of heartache.

Bai Suzhen looked up and said, "I have already helped your parents take the 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill,' and the effect seems to be quite good. Go and take a look!"

"I understand." Yue Qianchou hummed in agreement, then suddenly asked softly, "It seems you've delegated all authority over matters concerning the Misty Palace to Ping'er."

"Hmm! Is there a problem?" Bai Suzhen asked. Yue Qianchou shook his head and didn't speak...
