Red Cloud's Troubles: I Think She Might Like Me!

Outside the Wuzhuang Temple, in the square, several children were competing in supernatural powers.

As those supernatural powers landed on the jade stones paved in the plaza, or struck the edge of the plaza, they stirred up layers of green runes, protecting everything around them.

Bai Ze sipped his sweet soy milk, occasionally glancing at Wu Chu and Hong Yun in the hall. Yoyo lay to the side, intently watching Huanglong fight Old Round.

Not long after, it felt Bai Ze's little paws poking at its waist.

Yoyo glanced at it sideways and asked, "What?"

Bai Ze gestured towards the Main Hall with his lip, "Do you think they're arguing about sweet versus savory tofu pudding? Anyone who drinks savory tofu pudding is a heretic!"

Seeing Wu Chu and the others drinking tofu pudding, Bai Ze asked this question.

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue retorted with disdain, "Those who drink sweet tofu pudding are heretics!"

Little Mingyue nodded in agreement, adding, "Do you think Master and the seniors are as bored as you? You heretic who likes sweet tofu pudding!"

Bai Ze chuckled and said, "You actually like sweet tofu pudding too, don't you? It's just that your master likes savory tofu pudding, so you say savory is better. That's not right. You have to have your own principles. Just because he's your master doesn't mean you can abandon them. Look at me, even though Senior A Chu likes savory tofu pudding, I still stick to my own principles, don't I?"

"Bullshit! We've always liked savory tofu pudding!" Qingfeng reiterated.

Bai Ze sighed and shook his head, looking like a hopeless case, which made Qingfeng and Mingyue grit their teeth in anger, but they couldn't prove that this wish was their true thought.

Yoyo glanced at Bai Ze, then pouted, "Boring!"

The Little Qilin Di Kun, who was squatting on the ground drawing circles while chewing on a blade of grass, nodded and said, "It's really boring! Old Round is obviously just feeding his senior brother some moves. He hasn't even used his Three Heads and Six Arms supernatural powers. It's so boring!"

Bai Ze laughed and said, "If Old Round used his full strength, Little Yellow Dragon would be defeated in two or three moves. What would be the point of this battle then? This is giving you an opportunity to integrate what you have learned and to make full use of your cultivation to the greatest extent possible. It's not just about winning or losing..."

"I understand that principle, but I just feel that Old Round isn't putting enough pressure on me. Look at my senior brother, he handles it so calmly, that pressure is clearly insufficient."

As they were talking, Old Round's attack suddenly became faster, his staff flashing like a dragon, with great force and weight.

Huanglong's spear suddenly transformed into a longsword. He moved with agility, no longer engaging Old Round in direct combat, but instead using parrying and drawing techniques, supplemented by his supernatural abilities, to barely manage to defend himself.

After Old Round used his Three Heads and Six Arms technique, Huanglong followed suit. However, when the two of them used the same technique, Old Round was clearly more skilled.

Little Yellow Dragon was soon forced into a state of flustered activity.

"Now that's starting to get interesting!"

The Little Qilin grinned and plopped down on the ground.

Not far away, Feng Yi noticed the Little Qilin's unseemly sitting posture and couldn't help but glance at him with her phoenix eyes. Upon meeting Feng Yi's gaze, the Little Qilin immediately sat cross-legged, straightening his back considerably, and spat out the grass stalks from his mouth.

Meanwhile, inside the Main Hall, after a childish argument, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi once again experienced Wu Chu's cunning.

Then, Hong Yun brought up something that everyone found somewhat amusing.

"Lately, I've been feeling that Butterfly Lady's gaze towards me is a bit off!" Hong Yun said, quite troubled. "I think she might have fallen for me!"

Zhen Yuanzi retorted with disdain, "Hasn't Butterfly Lady always liked you?"

"That's different!" Hong Yun shook her head. "The affection I had before was my respect and love for my master. But ever since I came back from A Chu's place and saw A Chu and his two wives get married, the way she looks at me has always made me feel strange."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

He felt that the shapes of these Primordial World myths were becoming more and more different; first there were the Eastern King Duke and the Queen Mother of the West, and now there were Hong Yun and Butterfly Lady.

It seems that my wedding with Houtu and the Houtu has had quite a significant impact.

The future Ancestor Hong Yun! Who would have thought that this free-spirited, unrestrained, and unconventional fellow would one day find himself caught in this emotional vortex?

However, both the Butterfly Lady and this current emotional issue seem to be inextricably linked to Wu Chu. If they hadn't gone to the Heavenly Nether Valley to play, they wouldn't have encountered the Butterfly Lady, who only had a wisp of her Primordial Spirit left. In any case, she is not mentioned in the history of Primordial World mythology. Perhaps the Butterfly Lady Caiyi, will be killed before she even becomes famous!

If Hong Yun hadn't met Butterfly Lady, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to take her as his apprentice, and without taking her as his apprentice, Butterfly Lady wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to know Hong Yun further.

If she hadn't become very close to them, Butterfly Lady probably wouldn't have had those romantic thoughts. After all, if she were focused on cultivation and didn't think about emotional matters, she certainly wouldn't have gotten deeply involved. Even if she did, she could have easily extinguished those thoughts.

The vast majority of beings in the Primordial World do not have romantic feelings, because even if they did, they could easily suppress such thoughts without affecting their cultivation.

If Butterfly Lady were willing to sever these thoughts, the current problem wouldn't have arisen. So, she must be unwilling to sever this thread of affection!

Just like Wu Chu's affection for Houtu and the others, no one is willing to easily give up this feeling, nor are they willing to be beings without emotions who only know how to cultivate.

Moreover, since the Old Demon Luohou has not yet created the Demon Realm, he is even less likely to have any inner demons. Among the Three Clans, there are quite a few strong individuals who have reproduced.

The impact of romantic love on spiritual practice is not actually that significant; everyone has ways to control these emotions.

If she doesn't sever those ties of affection herself, given Hong Yun's personality, it would indeed be difficult for Butterfly Lady not to be attracted to him after spending so much time with him.

Whether it's the Ancestor Hong Yun from the original Primordial World mythology or the current Hong Yun, he is a person with considerable personal charm. Even though he is usually a bit outspoken and speaks his mind, there are still quite a few beings who like him.

Wu Chu didn't know if Hong Yun had encountered such emotional problems in the original Primordial World mythology, but now, influenced by them, Butterfly Lady also wanted to take her relationship with Hong Yun a step further, which was completely understandable.

Isn't it normal for people to follow suit?

After laughing for a while, Wu Chu, looking like he was enjoying the drama, asked, "Is it like how Xiao Yu usually looks at me?"

Hong Yun thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, that's the look in his eyes. Lately, he's even been staring at me blankly, which makes me feel really strange."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu burst into laughter again.
