Little Demoness, Laughable

With that in mind, Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened, and he nimbly climbed down the tree and then up the mountain.

By the time he returned to Hundred Herbs Peak, panting, Senior Sister Mu Yun was nowhere to be seen.

The Elder was in the Pill Room.

Xiao Bai had a rough day and was covered in sweat, so he turned and ducked into the Bamboo Forest to take a bath in the Hot Spring.

He also washed two sets of blue and green Instructor's Uniforms and hung them on bamboo branches to dry.

They wouldn't dry in the snow, so he'd have to wait for the Elder to come and use Wind Element Magic for a quick dry.

An hour later, the Elder arrived.

"Put on your clothes, I'll teach you Sword Riding."

Did you have to teach me Sword Riding like this?

To get revenge for being thrown down the mountain earlier, Xiao Bai, leaning against the edge of the pool, suddenly reached back.

He grabbed the Elder's ankle through the Great Cloak and unexpectedly pulled the Elder into the water!

With a splash.

Holding the beautiful woman in his arms, Xiao Bai felt his revenge was complete and said smugly:

"Sword Riding can wait. Cultivating Qi is important, but Wife Riding is the key."

Yu Hu, startled by Xiao Bai's sudden move, trembled all over.

With her cultivation, she shouldn't have been tricked by Xiao Bai's little stunt.

But for some reason, her body inexplicably went soft when Xiao Bai touched her.

She forced herself to steady her breathing and looked up at Xiao Bai from his embrace, her eyes still holding the cool detachment of someone looking down from above.

"Since we are Dao Companions, we can Dual Cultivate normally according to the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws... Can you not play such childish games next time?"

As expected of the Elder, her self-control was incredible!

So, Xiao Bai acted according to the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws.

A Concealment Formation was added to the Snow Curtain Sea of Clouds.

Xiao Bai lost his sight and hearing once more.

Peach Blossoms bloomed wantonly, melting the falling snow.

The water temperature in the pool slowly rose...

After an unknown amount of time.

[Ding--Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Dual Cultivation Spiritual Power from the Female Lead, your cultivation has been upgraded to Fetal Breath Third Layer!]

Xiao Bai felt very satisfied.

However, if possible, he still wished he could see and hear the wonderful things happening.

Considering the Elder's Golden Core Peak strength, this upgrade speed was a bit slow.

However, given that the Elder was unwell and as a Female Demon did not want to over-exploit a Mortal, the intensity of both their Dual Cultivation and any medicine used was not high.

Xiao Bai could have endured more.

If the Elder dared to use strong medicine on him, or even use her Demonic Power for Dual Cultivation, his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. He wouldn't need ten days; he could achieve Qi Refining in a single breath.

Unfortunately, the Elder had her own considerations.

Xiao Bai could only take it slow and continue with a sustainable development route.

Thinking from another perspective—eggs shouldn't be hatched in the same nest. It was time for Xiao Bai to expand his villainous Harem Group.

By evening, Yu Hu finally remembered to teach Xiao Bai Sword Riding.

Dual Cultivation during the day, Sword Riding at night... the order was completely reversed.

Xiao Bai put on his Instructor's Uniform and asked knowingly, half-teasingly:

"Why choose to practice Sword Riding at night?"

Isn't it because you've been cultivating all day!

Yu Hu suppressed her anger, her cool gaze giving Xiao Bai a glare. She said seriously:

"A fear of heights is the biggest obstacle to Sword Riding. Throwing you down the mountain earlier was to test your courage. Try practicing Sword Riding at night now, and once you're proficient, we'll do it during the day."

So that's how it is, my wife is so thoughtful!

Life is like this; if you bury your head and work hard, you will eventually be rewarded.

[Ding--Congratulations to the Host for learning the Sword Riding Technique taught by the Female Lead. It has been automatically deduced to max level... Please hurry and increase your cultivation to unleash the full power of the Sword Riding Technique!]

Even though the max level notification came quickly, Xiao Bai still proceeded step by step, orderly, making it seem like his wife's teaching was effective.

And so, Xiao Bai and the Elder tossed and turned in the sky above Hundred Herbs Peak all night, mastering various postures and techniques of Sword Riding.

Men remain boys until the day they die.

To Xiao Bai, who had his senses deprived at every critical moment, the joy of Sword Riding even surpassed Dual Cultivation.

For the next few days, Xiao Bai continued to strictly adhere to the Dao Companion etiquette as dictated by the Heavenly Origin Dao Laws.

[Ding--Congratulations to the Host for leveling up your Cultivation to Fourth Level Fetal Breath!]

[Ding--Congratulations to the Host for leveling up your Cultivation to Fifth Level Fetal Breath!]

Three days later, Xiao Bai finally met the long-lost Senior Sister Mu Yun at Hundred Herbs Peak.

Mu Yun was on her usual trip up the mountain to tend to the herb garden.

Her slender legs were submerged by the sea of flowers in the herb garden, making her appear even smaller.

Such a little Demoness, how laughable.

To speed up his leveling progress, Xiao Bai, disregarding the Elder's severe beating, boldly stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

"Where's my clothes?"

Her delicate face froze, and her sharp eyes stared blankly at Xiao Bai's stomach.

Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine, almost thinking she was going to pick a fight again over the death of his pet.

Seeing that Xiao Bai's Cultivation had advanced to Fifth Level Fetal Breath, Mu Yun was genuinely startled.

Three days apart felt like three years.

Could this guy really have Balanced Five Elements and Heavenly Waste Talent?

How is he leveling up faster than me?

"You..."

Xiao Bai quickly interrupted her question.

"Shouldn't you call me Martial Granduncle? If you feel embarrassed, you can call me Martial Granduncle, and I'll call you Senior Sister. We'll each address each other as we see fit."

Mu Yun immediately became furious and drew her Life-Bound Sword—

Azure Green.

"I'll see if your Cultivation is real!"

Xiao Bai glanced at her Life-Bound Sword.

The sword was slender and sharp, said to be retractable and flexible, like a Swiss Army knife with multiple functions. It could plow fields, weed, and even knit.

This time, she drew her Life-Bound Sword and even attached Qi Refining Realm Spiritual Pressure to its blade!

Xiao Bai said:

"How can you use your Cultivation to bully me?"

Mu Yun was glib-tongued.

"Can an elder be bullied? I'm only using my Qi Refining Cultivation. If you can last a hundred breaths, I'll consider you formidable."

A hundred breaths?

Consider me formidable?

Xiao Bai thought, You're not testing me, you're just trying to get revenge for that sword strike three days ago.

"It's not like we're Dual Cultivating, why would I care if you call me formidable? Let's bet on something concrete. If I win, you bring me my clothes."

"You won't win!"

Mu Yun let out a delicate cry, her body moved like she was riding waves, and she slashed her sword, Aura Swallowing the Sky River.

Xiao Bai had no choice but to draw his sword...

Riding his sword, he took off at full speed.

If I can't beat you, can't I at least outrun you when your Cultivation is sealed at the Qi Refining Realm?

"You think you can escape with Talisman-Enhanced Sword Riding?"

Mu Yun also took flight on her sword, accelerating to chase him.

As a result, after a chase in the air, she suddenly realized—

With only Qi Refining Cultivation, she couldn't catch up to Xiao Bai at all.

To think that the Talisman Spiritual Pressure on the Magic Sword is also at the introductory Qi Refining level. Why is this guy running so fast?

In reality, Xiao Bai's straight-line Sword Riding speed was, at most, comparable to Senior Sister Mu Yun's Qi Refining Realm Cultivation.

However, his max-level Sword Riding Technique could ride the wind and break through the mist. Combined with the max-level Butcher's Sword Technique's footwork, he flew out all sorts of tricky curves with the wind.

What kind of wicked Sword Riding Technique is this?

Mu Yun had never heard of or seen anything like it, and she was chasing behind him, almost doubting her life.

Seeing that the hundred breaths were about to pass, Mu Yun resorted to trickery, forcibly unleashing her Cultivation to catch up.

Slap!

With one kick, she struck Xiao Bai's Sword Body, sending Xiao Bai, sword and all, tumbling down the mountain.

Only when Xiao Bai was about to hit the ground did she Teleport over, grab Xiao Bai, and toss him back onto the mountain.

Xiao Bai flipped to his feet and, pointing at the Young Girl hovering in mid-air, cursed loudly:

"Are you a dog? You're cheating!"

"I'm not cheating."

The Young Girl, arms crossed, her blouse straining to a proud degree, said shamelessly:

"It's okay that you lost. I just want to make you understand firsthand that with your strength, you're only fit to be my Medicine Boy. Don't ever expect me to call you Martial Granduncle in this lifetime!"

You hate calling me Martial Granduncle so much, I bet you want to call me Husband instead!

Xiao Bai, not wanting to waste his breath on arguments, focused only on improving and said:

"Since I lost, hand over the clothes."

As long as he had the clothes, he could bind this detestable Demoness.

Just then!

A Carrier Pigeon flew through the Sea of Clouds and landed on Xiao Bai's shoulder.

A letter for me?

As Xiao Bai reached for the letter, the pigeon unexpectedly flew to Mu Yun.

"Let me see!"

The Demoness opened the letter and took a Glance.

"You're in trouble."
