"Hey~ Senior Brother, come quickly! I missed you so much~"

Little Fatty, who was less than half the height of an ordinary disciple, bounced and jumped like a rubber ball. He turned back and threw a flirtatious glance at his skinny companion. Clearly, he was imitating Nalan Yanran's earlier actions.

"Junior Sister, slow down~"

Skinny Stick casually tossed his head, 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 Fatty Steamed Buns for you~"

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

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

Not to be outdone, Skinny Stick opened his mouth wide in an exaggerated manner and raised the hand he had just used to pick his nose, reaching for the "Fatty Steamed Bun" made of "mysterious substance."

"Mhm~ Don't do that, your hand is dirty~"

Little Fatty raised an arm, intending to twist Skinny Stick's ear, only to find that he could not reach it. After several unsuccessful jumps, he could only give up. He viciously twisted Skinny Stick's weak spot instead, while his other hand struck an orchid-finger pose. In a sickeningly sweet voice, he said, "Junior Sister feeds you herself, so the love comes doubled. Senior Brother, mwah~"

"Once our eyes met, I knew I'd found the right one."

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

First, he punched Little Fatty. Then he snatched the Fatty Steamed Bun and held it high overhead, licking his lips as he said, "Junior Sister, don't ask. If you ask, it's Fatty Steamed Buns! One bite refreshes the mind, two bites lift the spirit, three bites banish fatigue forever. Everyone who has tried them says they taste incredible!"

Just as Skinny Stick was about to lower his hand, he turned his head and accidentally spotted Yun Shenwei and Nalan Yanran, who had just arrived. His little hand instantly turned ice-cold.

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

Skinny Stick was badly frightened and immediately cried out in panic. But the moment the words left his mouth, the "Fatty Steamed Bun" made from the "mysterious substance" on Little Fatty's body dropped straight into his throat.

"You damned skinny bastard, what's over? He what? What are you trying to say?"

Little Fatty did not understand. Thinking Skinny Stick was playing one of his usual tricks again, he punched his weak spot several times.

The next moment, he understood...

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

As a woman's tearful voice rang out, a figure flashed to his side at some unknown point and rained more than ten vicious slaps down on his face. Skinny Stick beside him received the exact 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 on us, then you maliciously imitated us. Are you trying to turn heaven upside down?!"

Yun Shenwei's anger surged as his clenched fists cracked. The aura of a One-Star Dou Shi erupted in an instant.

Nalan Yanran's pretty face was livid, her expression utterly miserable. Tears even slid from her beautiful eyes.

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

As the treasured jewel of the Gama Empire's Nalan Family and the personal disciple of Yun Yun, the Yun Lan Sect's Sect Master, she had always shown outsiders a proud and unyielding side. Every elder who had interacted with her believed she was destined for greatness!

Although 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 to see her little lover, brimming with joy, never imagining that she would run into two perverted peeping creeps.

Where was she supposed to put her dignity after this?

The more Nalan Yanran thought about it, the more wronged she felt. In the end, she actually began to cry softly. Before Yun Shenwei could even comfort her, her anger flared up. She suddenly stepped forward and gave the two sleazy men a savage beating, then covered her face and ran away crying.

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

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

What he feared most was seeing the person he loved cry, and what he hated most were those who bullied his beloved. At this moment, a monstrous killing 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 really good relationship. No, no, no... Senior... Senior Apprentice Brother, listen to our expla—"

After being beaten twice, the two were bruised and swollen all over. Seeing Yun Shenwei's furious face, they no longer had the playful, smirking expressions they had worn while imitating Nalan Yanran and Yun Shenwei. At this very moment, they were scared out of their wits, their guts practically turning green with regret. They only wanted to explain themselves as quickly as possible.

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

Yun Shenwei had no interest in hearing these two oddballs explain. He struck with blinding speed, knocked them both down, then carried them to the upper reaches of the waterfall.

At the edge of the cliff, wild winds howled. Beside them roared rushing water, and below lay a waterfall hundreds of zhang high!

"Ah! Help!"

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

"Don't, don't, don't... Let's go!"

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

"Ah... Chicken, you're too beautiful! Cai Kunkun, save me!"

"Woohoo! Let's go! I'm afraid of heights!"

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

"Now do you know what a one-day tour of heaven and hell is?"

Yun Shenwei's expression was blank as he spoke coldly.

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

The two were so frightened that they could barely catch their breath. Their bodies shook uncontrollably, and their clothes were drenched in cold sweat!

Yun Shenwei said nothing, merely watching them quietly. The two did not know how to respond either, and for a moment, the place was terrifyingly silent.

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

Yun Shenwei tossed them into the air again, one after the other, repeating this many times.

As time passed, the two had initially screamed desperately in terror. But later, convinced that Yun Shenwei would not dare let go, they gradually fell quiet. They no longer screamed, nor were they afraid.

How could Yun Shenwei possibly let them have their way?

Every now and then, he would let go once, leaving them battered and filthy from the fall, though not enough to endanger their lives.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, have you forgotten our friendship?"

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

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

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

"Brother Shenwei... ptooey! Senior Apprentice Brother, when we were children, we were the Glorious Trio! We got into trouble together every day. Later, for some reason, you seemed to become a completely different person and gradually grew distant from us. After that, you became the new generation's Senior Apprentice Brother of our Yun Lan Sect. Skinny Stick and I felt that the gap between us was too great, so we were too ashamed to take the initiative to find you."

The more Little Fatty spoke, the more emotional he became. Somehow, something struck a nerve, and he sprawled atop the mountain, bawling loudly.

"Seems like there was such a thing?"

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