Ling'er and Li Yue threw themselves into Yun Tian's arms.
"Husband! Brother Yun Tian! You're back! I missed you so much!"
Yun Tian looked at Ling'er and Li Yue in his arms and said,
"I missed you both too."
As he spoke, he rubbed the two girls' heads.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Yu Yan, the teacher I found for Little Yue'er. From now on, she'll teach Little Yue'er how to cultivate."
Ling'er and Li Yue looked at the woman behind Yun Tian, and their first thought was,
Her legs are so long! She's so beautiful!
Hearing the girls' assessment of Yu Yan, Yun Tian said,
"That's not all. Yu Yan isn't just beautiful—her cultivation is at the Spirit God level. She's injured right now, so her cultivation has dropped to the Legend rank, but that's fine. She can still teach Little Yue'er without any trouble."
Ling'er and Li Yue looked at Yu Yan.
"Hello, Sister Yu Yan!"
"Mm, hello."
"Yun Tian, I'll only be teaching Li Yue, right?"
"Yes, just Little Yue'er. You can call her Little Yue'er from now on too."
"All right, understood."
Then she looked at Li Yue.
"Little Yue'er, come here."
"Okay, Sister Yu Yan."
Li Yue came over to stand before Yu Yan.
"Yun Tian, have you examined Little Yue'er's soul sea?"
"I have. It has a Flame Form," Yun Tian said. He had examined Li Yue's soul sea before.
"A Flame Form? Then it's somewhat similar to mine."
"But even if they're similar, every soul sea is unique. She could use my cultivation method, but it wouldn't be the best fit."
Hearing Yu Yan's words, Yun Tian said,
"You don't need to worry about that. I have a cultivation method. You only need to teach Little Yue'er how to apply it, and tell her about the outside world to broaden her horizons."
"Oh? You have a cultivation method?"
"Yes."
Yun Tian brought out a ball of light from behind his back, then pressed it to Li Yue's forehead. It slipped straight inside, and Li Yue immediately began absorbing its contents. After quite a while, she opened her eyes. The moment she saw Yun Tian, she threw herself at him and hugged him.
"Brother Yun Tian, this cultivation method suits me perfectly! Thank you, Brother Yun Tian. You're so good to me!"
Yun Tian stroked Li Yue's head.
"Of course. You're my little girl. If I'm not good to you, who else would I be good to?"
Hearing Yun Tian call her his little girl, Li Yue blushed instantly. She shyly looked up at him, thought for a moment, then bit her lip. As though she had made up her mind, she leaned in and kissed his cheek. Yun Tian was a little surprised when he felt it; he hadn't expected the girl to do something like that.
After giving him a quick kiss, Li Yue immediately slipped out of Yun Tian's arms and ran into the house. Ling'er said,
"Husband, I'll go check on Little Yue'er."
With that, she went into the room too.
Once Li Yue and Ling'er had left, Yun Tian turned back to Yu Yan and found her laughing behind her hand. He said,
"What are you laughing at?"
"Huh?"
Caught off guard by Yun Tian's question, Yu Yan said,
"Nothing. I just noticed that Little Yue'er seems to like you, and she got all shy."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. I know how charming I am, but I can't control it."
Hearing Yun Tian's words, Yu Yan said with a smile,
"I can see that, given how shy Little Yue'er got. But it's not quite that exaggerated. Take me, for example—I wouldn't act like that."
After hearing what Yu Yan said, Yun Tian asked,
"Oh? Really?"
As he spoke, Yun Tian moved closer to Yu Yan. Watching him draw nearer and nearer, she even began to stammer.
"O-of course it's true."
"I couldn't possibly act like Little Yue'er."
As Yu Yan spoke, Yun Tian thought for a moment, then slipped his arms around her waist, making her cry out in surprise. Looking down at Yu Yan in his arms, he asked again,
"Say that again. Is it really true?"
