If the expert hadn't noticed my abnormality in time, I would have been in danger today!

The expert is truly formidable, to be able to project his will directly into the Sea of Dao and pinpoint my location with such accuracy.

Legend has it that the Sea of Dao is a reflection of the boundless Chaos.

No divine abilities, no spells, no Spiritual Energy, no energy can exist within it.

Even the will of a Saint would not dare to venture in lightly; there's a high probability of getting lost in the Sea of Dao, which is far more perilous than the boundless Chaos.

Nuwa was filled with gratitude. She wanted to express her thanks, but seeing the expert's expression, she noticed something seemed unusual.

Nuwa felt quite conflicted and, after much deliberation, decided to pretend she hadn't noticed anything.

At the same time, she resolved that as long as the expert didn't bring it up, she would maintain her act and absolutely not reveal anything.

To change the subject, Nuwa quickly looked around.

"Oh, Young Master, this rope looks quite exquisite."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ping saw the rope beside him that he hadn't paid attention to earlier, but had somehow brought along.

He picked it up and gently rubbed it, saying, "I found this rope in the back mountains. It wasn't like this at first. I thought it was a bit thin and didn't seem very strong, so I happened to have some skill and re-wove it."

Nuwa's brow twitched. A rope personally woven by the expert?

No wonder it looked ordinary yet could instantly revert three demons to their original forms!

To be personally woven by the expert, this rope must have been extraordinary to begin with. Now, it's probably even more potent, perhaps reaching the rank of a Xiantian Spirit Treasure.

"Young Master, may I see it?"

"Of course, it's just a rope. I always use it to scare Da Huang, telling him I'll tie him up if he's disobedient."

"You don't know how scared Da Huang was when he heard that, hahaha. It was just a rope, and he tucked his tail between his legs, almost wetting himself."

Nuwa thought, who wouldn't be scared? Even Di Jun and Taiyi would be terrified!

Ptooey, ptooey! The expert's way of speaking is truly a blend of the refined and the vulgar. Such coarse language, spoken from the expert's lips, somehow carries such charm.

Nuwa took the rope and examined it carefully.

The more she looked, the more shocked she became.

This... could it be the legendary Demon Binding Rope?

Yes, it must be the Demon Binding Rope!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to revert demonic beasts to their original forms without using any magical power.

However, this one seems a bit different from the legend.

I understand now; it must have been refined by the expert's hands.

Nuwa shook her head repeatedly. This Demon Binding Rope was originally only effective against demons, but after the expert's refinement, it's likely effective against all cultivators, able to directly attack the Nascent Soul and restrain internal magical power.

This is truly a formidable offensive Spirit Treasure!

Seeing Nuwa staring intently at the rope, unwilling to let go, Jiang Ping thought, could Miss Feng have taken a liking to this rope?

Sigh, Miss Feng's taste is truly strange. Don't girls usually like colorful clothes, bags, or gold, silver, jewelry, and accessories? Why is she interested in a broken rope meant for tying up a dog?

Look, she can't even take her eyes off it.

If you like it, just say so. What's the big deal about giving it to you?

"Miss Feng, do you like this rope?" Jiang Ping asked tentatively.

Nuwa reluctantly put it down, gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and chuckled, shaking her head. "I don't like it that much, I just think the rope looks very pretty."

Jiang Ping's eyes narrowed into slits, his brow furrowed, and he clicked his tongue repeatedly.

Women! Your name is deceit!

Stop lying to me! You clearly have your eye on this rope. Look at your eyes, you can barely look away!

Women! Why do you lie!

"Miss Feng, if you like it, take it. If not, I'll go tie up Da Huang with it," Jiang Ping said with a chuckle.

Nuwa was taken aback and pretended to speak casually. "Oh no, Young Master, Da Huang is so well-behaved. Why would you tie him up? Since you insist, I'll accept it then."

The corners of Jiang Ping's mouth curled up slightly. Hmph, little girl. Even though I've been single for decades, dealing with a young lass like you is a piece of cake!

"Miss Feng, hurry up and put it away."

Nuwa was overjoyed.

Seeing Nuwa holding the rope with evident delight, Jiang Ping marveled inwardly.

The Primordial Era is truly strange. A rope can make a girl happy. It seems my single life is about to end in the Primordial Era.

Jiang Ping was suddenly inspired, his heart soaring with poetic fervor, and he immediately recited in his mind:

The girls of the Primordial Era, Each one is a gem. They don't want houses or cars, Come quickly, everyone! What are you hesitating for? Is there a life more miserable than being a bachelor?

After a bout of self-amusement, Jiang Ping came to his senses and quickly found a topic: "We've known each other for a while now, but I still don't know where Miss Feng lives?"

Nuwa immediately replied, "It's not too far from here. It just so happens that I met Young Master, and I found him very interesting. Plus, I wasn't particularly comfortable staying within my clan, so I came here again."

"Young Master, you don't think I'm disturbing you, do you?"

Jiang Ping quickly waved his hands, "Not at all, I couldn't wish for anything more. I quite admire a woman with such a unique personality as Miss Feng."

Nuwa's face turned slightly red. Being praised by the esteemed Young Master made her heart fill with joy.

"Then, Young Master, may I stay here with you for a while?" Nuwa asked softly.

Her heart was filled with self-reproach again. Why was I so impulsive? This request is too much. The esteemed Young Master will surely not agree.

Jiang Ping almost fainted with joy when he heard this.

Happiness truly came too suddenly. It's only been this long, and a young lady has already come to my doorstep, throwing herself into my arms.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao sensed my thoughts last time?

It really is quite miraculous. It seems next time I encounter difficulties and troubles, I should express them more to the Heavenly Dao. He will surely be able to help me solve them.

However, Jiang Ping was also a bit hesitant.

I only have one room here, and we've only met twice.

Jiang Ping said hesitantly, "Miss Feng, isn't this moving a bit too fast?"

Nuwa was taken aback, "Fast?"

Jiang Ping nodded, then scratched his head, "Look, we've only met twice. Moving in together so quickly, I think it's a bit too impulsive."

Nuwa blushed shyly upon hearing this.

This esteemed Young Master is so wicked, teasing me like this.

"Young Master, you truly have no shame!"

"I didn't say I wanted to live with you. I meant that I only have one room here, and it's not very convenient. How about I sleep outside the courtyard, and you take my room?"

Nuwa dared not usurp the host's place and ask the esteemed Young Master to move out for her. She quickly said, "Young Master, how can I possibly agree to that? The weather is fine for now. I see a Thatched Hut over there, I can stay there."

Jiang Ping inwardly praised her. The young ladies of the Primordial Era are truly sincere.

Looking at Miss Feng's attire and demeanor, she must come from an extraordinary background.

Yet, she's not arrogant at all, nor does she have any princess-like airs.

To be willing to live in a thatched hut just to be near me.

What a good girl. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry her in the future.
