"Ahh~ Senior Brother, come quickly! I've missed you so much~"

Little Fatty, who stood less than half as tall as an ordinary disciple, hopped and bounced like a rubber ball. He turned back and threw a flirtatious glance at his companion, Skinny, clearly imitating Nalan Yanran's earlier movements.

"Junior Sister, slow down~"

The skinny, stick-like disciple tossed his head stylishly, letting his hair flutter in the spring breeze. Needless to say, he was imitating Yun Shenwei.

"Senior Brother, I've been getting up early and working late these past few days, exhausted half to death, all just to prepare Little Fatty Buns for you~"

Little Fatty rubbed his belly and quickly kneaded out a lump of "mysterious black substance." As he spoke, he handed it to Skinny Stick.

"Wonderful! Little Fatty Buns are my favorite. Junior Sister, you really understand me so well~"

Not to be outdone, Skinny Stick opened his mouth exaggeratedly and raised the hand he had just used to pick his nose, reaching for the "Fatty Buns" made from that "mysterious substance."

"Mm-hmm~ Don't do that, your hand is dirty~"

Little Fatty raised his arm to twist Skinny Stick's ear, only to find that he couldn't reach. After trying to jump several times without success, he gave up and viciously twisted Skinny Stick's weak spot instead. His other hand formed an orchid-finger pose as he said sickeningly, "Junior Sister is feeding you herself, so the love is doubled. Mwah, Senior Brother~"

"After one look into your eyes, I knew I'd met the right person."

A sharp pain struck his weak spot. Skinny Stick bared his teeth in agony, and his eyes even seemed to mist over.

He first punched Little Fatty, then snatched the Fatty Buns and held them high above his head. Licking his lips, he said, "Junior Sister, don't ask. If you ask, it's Fatty Buns. One bite refreshes your mind, two bites lift your spirits, three bites banish fatigue forever. Everyone who eats them says they taste amazing!"

Just as Skinny Stick was about to lower his hand, he turned his head and inadvertently spotted Yun Shenwei and Nalan Yanran arriving at that very moment. His hands instantly turned cold.

"Ah, we're done for! He... cough, cough... cough cough cough..."

Skinny Stick was badly frightened and immediately shouted in panic, but before he could finish speaking, the "Fatty Buns" made from Little Fatty's "mysterious substance" fell into his throat.

"You damned skinny freak, done for what? He what? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Little Fatty failed to understand and assumed Skinny Stick was playing one of his usual tricks again. He punched his weak spot several times with all his strength.

The next moment, he understood...

"Shenwei Senior Brother, they're bullying me!"

As a female voice choked with tears rang out, a figure appeared beside him out of nowhere and gave him more than ten vicious slaps across the face. Skinny Stick beside him received the same treatment.

"You two have some nerve! You dared leave the Ordinary Disciple Cultivation Area during training hours, and worse still, you dared follow us! First you maliciously peeped at us, then you maliciously imitated us. Are you trying to flip the heavens?!"

Yun Shenwei's fury surged as he clenched his fists until they cracked. The aura of a One-Star Dou Zhe erupted in an instant.

Nalan Yanran's pretty face was livid, her expression utterly dreadful as tears slid from her beautiful eyes.

Ever since Nalan Yanran could remember, she had never suffered such humiliation.

As the treasured daughter of the Nalan Family in the Jia Ma Empire and the personal disciple of Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, she had always shown outsiders her proud and strong side. Every elder who had interacted with her believed she was destined for greatness! Though she was usually incredibly proud, she was still a girl. Only around those she knew best and cared about most would she reveal her girlish nature. She had come joyfully to see her little lover, never expecting to run into two perverted peeping toms.

Where was she supposed to put her face after this? The more Nalan Yanran thought about it, the more wronged she felt. In the end, she began to cry softly. Before Yun Shenwei could comfort her, rage surged within her. She suddenly rushed forward and gave the two lecherous men a beating, then covered her face and ran away crying.

"You two bastards, in a while, I'll show you what a one-day tour of heaven and hell is!"

Yun Shenwei turned to look at Nalan Yanran's gradually vanishing figure, then at the Fried Buns scattered all over the ground. The flames of rage burned fiercely in his starry eyes.

He feared most seeing the one he loved cry, and he hated most those who bullied the girl in his heart. At that moment, a monstrous murderous aura rose from him, as though he had transformed into an ancient demon emperor.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Fighting God Flame within his body seemed to sense its master's fury and could erupt at any moment.

"Brother Shenwei, have you forgotten? We actually have a great relationship. No, no... Senior... Senior Brother, listen to our expla—"

After being beaten twice, the two were bruised and swollen. Seeing the enraged Yun Shenwei, they no longer had the playful grins they had worn while imitating Nalan Yanran and Yun Shenwei. At this moment, they were scared out of their wits and regretted it so deeply their guts had turned green. They only wanted to explain themselves as quickly as possible.

"Save your explanations for later. For now, prepare to face my wrath!"

Yun Shenwei had no interest in listening to the explanations of these two oddballs. He swiftly knocked them down, then carried them to the upper reaches of the waterfall.

At the edge of the cliff, fierce winds howled. Rushing water surged beside them, while below lay a waterfall hundreds of zhang high!

"Ahh! Help!"

With a miserable scream, Yun Shenwei waved his hand and hurled Little Fatty high into the air.

"No, no, no... Oligai!"

Skinny Stick's legs trembled violently, and his pants were soaked through, but Yun Shenwei did not care. He threw Skinny Stick into the sky as well.

"Ah... You're so beautiful, Cai Kunkun, save me!"

"Woohoo! Oligai, I'm afraid of heights!"

Just as the two were about to crash into the ground, one falling quickly and the other slowly, Yun Shenwei suddenly acted and caught them one after the other.

"Do you know now what a one-day tour of heaven and hell is?"

Yun Shenwei's face was expressionless as he spoke coldly.

"W-we... we know..."

The two were so terrified they could barely catch their breath. Their bodies shook uncontrollably, and their clothes were drenched in cold sweat! Yun Shenwei said nothing and quietly watched them. Neither of them knew how to respond, and for a moment, the silence was terrifying.

"I thought you would come to your senses. Looks like I overestimated you."

Yun Shenwei tossed the two into the air one after another again, repeating the process many times.

As time passed, the two had initially been terrified and screamed desperately. But later, convinced that Yun Shenwei would not dare let go, they gradually quieted down. They neither shouted nor cried, no longer afraid.

How could Yun Shenwei let them have their way?

Every now and then, he let go once, smashing them into a sorry state without endangering their lives.

"Senior Brother, have you forgotten our friendship?"

Though Little Fatty was thick-skinned and tough, he was more timid than Skinny Stick. To avoid being scared to death alive, he could only grit his teeth and speak.

"Oh? Then tell me, what friendship do we have?"

Hearing that, Yun Shenwei immediately stopped throwing Little Fatty and instead looked at him with interest.

"Brother Shenwei... ptooey! Senior Brother, when we were kids, we were the Glory Trio! We caused trouble together every day. Later, for some reason, you seemed like a completely different person and gradually grew distant from us. After that, you became the new generation's Senior Brother of our Misty Cloud Sect. Skinny and I felt that the gap between us was too great, so we were too ashamed to take the initiative to seek you out."

The more Little Fatty spoke, the more emotional he became. Somehow, he struck a nerve and sprawled on the mountaintop, bawling his eyes out.

"There does seem to have been something like that?"

Yun Shenwei frowned, casually set Skinny Stick down, and began recalling memories from his childhood...
