"Is that so..."

"The Primordial World is truly unfathomable..."

After helping Old Ancestor Minghe quell Shenni's rebellion, Shi Yu bid farewell to Minghe and intended to return to Kunlun Mountain.

The journey had been exhausting. The Primordial World's waters were far deeper than he had imagined, filled with too many ancient secrets.

Although he was a Tai Xu Shui Yun He, adept at water, the Primordial World's waters were too deep. A single misstep could drown him.

After Shi Yu concealed his cultivation...

He flew east, towards Kunlun Mountain. Along the way, he passed a peculiar mountain peak. It stood out amongst the surrounding ranges, so he decided to rest there.

"Damn, is this Flat-Top Mountain?"

Because the mountain's summit was flat, the Tai Xu Shui Yun He flapped its wings and landed on top.

Looking around, he spotted a cave dwelling on the mountainside. The area outside the cave was rugged with strange rocks, overgrown with weeds and thorns.

"Damn, it really is Lotus Cave!"

Three large characters were inscribed in an ancient script above the cave entrance. After searching around and finding no Spiritual Treasures, he walked out of the cave.

Shi Yu turned to leave, but just then, cries for help rang out.

"Help! Can anyone save me!"

A woman in a white dress, her face filled with terror, fled through the forest, desperately calling for help.

Upon seeing Shi Yu, a flicker of hope ignited in her eyes. She rushed towards him, hiding behind his back.

"Where do you think you're going, big sister!" x2

Close behind, two giant beasts, one gold and one silver, pursued her. They were enormous, and each step they took shook the earth.

The woman trembled behind Shi Yu.

"Kid, don't meddle in our affairs. This girl is food we've captured," the golden giant beast rumbled.

The silver giant beast roared, startling countless birds. "Yeah! If you interfere, we'll eat you too!"

"You two carry on, I'm already out of the way!"

Shi Yu chuckled and flickered, appearing on a distant boulder.

Suddenly, the world fell silent...

"Why didn't you save me?"

The woman looked at the departing Shi Yu, pleading. She couldn't understand why he wouldn't save her.

"Why should I save you?"

"A gentleman does not save!"

Shi Yu remained unmoved, standing on the boulder.

"Fine, I knew it wouldn't work~"

The woman smiled helplessly, revealing her true appearance. She had a graceful figure, curves in all the right places, exuding a beguiling charm.

"Esteemed fellow Daoist, how did you see through my scheme?" the woman asked, looking at Shi Yu with confusion.

"A desolate mountain, a beautiful woman, and wild beasts?"

"Do I look like an idiot?"

Shi Yu sat cross-legged on the boulder. The moment the woman appeared, he knew something was amiss.

"Then let's try another method!"

The golden giant beast suddenly shrank, transforming into a burly man clad in golden armor and wielding a golden sword.

"Brother is right!"

The silver giant beast did the same, becoming a strong man in silver armor holding a silver sword.

"Fine, fine, fine! If your brains aren't enough, you resort to force, huh?"

Shi Yu slowly stood up, arms crossed, a look of indifference on his face. "You think you can lay a hand on me?"

The two burly men exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "Don't be arrogant!" With that, they brandished their swords and charged forward.

Shi Yu lightly raised a hand, the Cloud Void Water Fan appearing in his grip. He fanned it gently.

Water vapor rapidly gathered around him, instantly forming a water curtain that blocked his front.

The golden and silver swords struck the water curtain, only causing ripples. Then, the Taiji Diagram reflected on the water's surface, repelling the two.

"What kind of spell is this?" the two exclaimed in shock.

Shi Yu sneered and tapped his finger. The water curtain transformed into several water snakes that coiled towards them. The two hastily swung their swords to defend themselves but gradually began to falter.

At this moment, the woman cried out, "Oh, you two idiots, attack together!"

The three combined their strength, managing to temporarily fend off the water snakes' attack.

Seeing this, Shi Yu formed a hand seal and chanted, casting the Taiqing immortal arts, mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and a massive pillar of water descended from above, aiming straight for the three of them.

The three were terrified and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The water pillar swept them up.

"Go!"

Shi Yu waved the Cloud Void Water Fan, and the giant water tornado exploded with a roar, kicking up dust and smoke.

When the dust settled, the three of them had collapsed on the ground.

"Hmph, don't play such cheap tricks next time."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he patted the non-existent dust off his clothes and took a step forward, arriving in front of the three.

"I see neither malevolent energy nor karma on you three. It seems this is your first time!" Shi Yu folded his fan and tucked it into his waist.

"Senior has sharp eyes indeed. We two were originally a pair of Spiritual Treasures who coincidentally attained sentience and just recently took human form!"

The armored strongman and the other armored strongman said with tearful faces. Their lives were so bitter! They had just transformed into human form and encountered this great demon, Shi Yu. All their ambitions were ruthlessly shattered!

"And you~"

"This little sister~"

Shi Yu looked at the woman. She was soaked, and her charm had increased even more. Her true form was indeed a White Fox.

"Qing Qiu, or Tu Shan?"

"Tu Shan..."

"Junior has just entered the mortal world and doesn't understand the rules. I hope Senior will forgive me."

"These two are my newly recognized younger brothers. Senior, they are quite good, just a bit mischievous. Please don't make things difficult for them!"

The woman mumbled, lowering her head. Her wet hair covered half her face.

"That won't do. If you make a mistake, you must atone!" Shi Yu said.

"Ah?" x3

The three exclaimed in unison. No way, didn't they say there's true affection in the Primordial World? This senior is so unreasonable!

"Names!"

"Tu Shan Yue..."

Shi Yu nodded slightly upon hearing Tu Shan Yue's name and said, "Little Yue Yue, although today's events didn't cause great harm, we can't just let it go. Since you three have taken form, you should know the rules of this Primordial World."

Tu Shan Yue bit her lip and said softly, "Senior, we truly know we were wrong. We hope Senior can tell us how to atone."

The armored strongman and the other armored strongman echoed her words, their eyes full of regret.

Looking at this fellow, he seemed gentle and refined, but who knew he was so powerful? We brothers are Golden Immortals too!

"Come back to my mountain with me. My master happens to need two Daoist Children to tend the furnace and one housekeeper!" Shi Yu said after some thought.

"We..."

The three exchanged glances and were about to speak when Shi Yu directly revealed his hidden cultivation. His late Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation was instantly displayed.

"We agree, Senior!"

The three immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move...

"Oh right, what are your names?"

"My name is Jin Sha Shou, and his is Yin Sha Wu. We are brothers, the transformed forms of a pair of Golden and Silver Swords..."

"My master is an old man, quite advanced in years. Your names are too complicated, I'm afraid he won't remember them~"

Shi Yu removed the Cloud Void Water Fan from his waist and tapped his head. "How about this: you'll be called Golden Horn, and you'll be Silver Horn!"

"Tch, this name isn't imposing at all! My brother and I are going to be mountain kings!" The armored strongman clenched his fists and stood up abruptly.

"Oh?"

The Cloud Void Water Fan unfurled, and the might of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure spread out. The armored strongman, being the transformed form of a Spiritual Treasure, lost his footing and fell down again...

"I almost forgot, you two look too fierce. Become a bit cuter, otherwise, when guests come to our Kunlun Mountain, they'll think it's some bandit's den~"

Shi Yu waved his hand, and the two strongmen transformed into two young Daoist Children with doll-like faces.

"We'd rather die than surrender! There's a saying, a true man born between heaven and earth..."

Seeing their appearance, the two decided to fight him.

"I just returned from the Sea of Blood. Martial Uncle Minghe said he was quite bored. How about you two don't come back to Kunlun Mountain with me, but go to the Sea of Blood to keep Martial Uncle Minghe company!"

As soon as Shi Yu finished speaking, the newly resolute Golden Horn and Silver Horn softened again...

"Greetings, Young Master! We are the Master's little Daoist Children! We won't go anywhere!"

It's a joke! The Sea of Blood! There's also a saying that adaptability is the mark of a true man!

Afterward, Shi Yu threw out an appointment letter for Golden Horn and Silver Horn to sign. Although it was an appointment letter, it was no different from a contract of servitude...

"Little Yue Yue, what have you decided? Your two younger brothers have already agreed to come with me!"

Tu Shan Yue slowly stood up and nodded. Suddenly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she came to Shi Yu's side.

"You said you're a disciple of Kunlun Mountain, right!"

"I've heard from people in my clan that Kunlun Mountain is the dojo of Sanqing, so you're a disciple of Sanqing!"

"Mhm, my master is Taiqing!"

Upon hearing Shi Yu's reply, Tu Shan Yue was stunned at first, then jumped up excitedly.

"Calm down, I'm dizzy~~"

"Dizzy about what?"

"It's nothing, I'm not dizzy anymore~"

"You really are a Taiqing disciple!"

"Yeah, the genuine article. And you've asked that question countless times..."

On the way back to Kunlun Mountain, Tu Shan Yue kept asking, and asking, and asking~
