Mountains and rivers moved backward rapidly in front of his eyes like rolling curtains, and the strong wind rumbled in his ears.
At this moment, Ye Anping only felt that his body was flying ahead, and his soul was chasing after him. Moreover, his whole body was shaken by the spiritual power of this escape technique, and he couldn't even use the protective spell.
If a-stage cultivator didn't use his own spiritual energy to protect them, even acultivator would have a hard time withstanding this spiritual escape technique, let alone acultivator.
He could feel Si Xuanji's anger. She did not use her power to protect him, and the pressure of this spiritual escape technique fell on his freshly formedbody without any cover.
However, he could also tell that Si Xuanji seemed to be worried that he would really be injured, so she deliberately slowed down her speed.
Or perhaps he underestimated his tolerance for pain.
The pain brought upon him by this spiritual escape technique was only slightly heavier.
It made him feel like he was getting a full body massage, painful but also somewhat refreshing.
But a question arose:
---Where was Si Xuanji taking him?
Since leaving theSect, they had been flying for about two hours. Now, the sun had risen directly above their heads, and the mountains underneath had become an endless blue ocean.
Further south of theSect was the border of the-- the, bordering the mortal world.
So...
Just as Ye Anping was thinking about the possible destination, suddenly an isolated island on the sea surface sped toward him from the horizon.
On the island, there was a small mountain, with a golden light on the top, shining like a lighthouse. However, a closer look showed that it was actually a temple built of pure gold.
The temple wasn't big, and it wasn't much different from theSect eight years ago.
But Ye Anping recognized at a glance theSect, one of the main five sects of the Immortal Family.
Awareness followed the 'no-thoughts' mind. Although Grandmaster Zhiming, a-stage cultivator, was in charge and this was indeed one of the five major sects of the Immortal Family, there were only a little more than a hundred disciples in the sect.
As for why Si Xuanji brought him here?
The island on the, where theSect was located, was the most blessed paradise in the four regions. Several successfulcultivators came to theSect to borrow land from the sect masters to pass the tribulation.
Ye Anping originally planned to find a place with abundant spiritual energy in theorto pass the remaininglightning tribulations. It would be too much trouble to come to theSect; something like killing a chicken with a cleaver.
But killing a chicken with a cleaver was a sure thing.
---How great to be protected by the Great Immortal Xuanji!
Si Xuanji lowered her head and looked at Ye Anping, who she was holding by his armpits, letting him be battered by the wind. She recalled what happened in front of the old man Zu Yuan just now, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
There was quite a desire in her heart to throw him down and let him swallow a few hundred gallons of water in theand then fish him back. After living for so long, this was the first time she suffered such a big setback!
However, if she did that, Ye Anping would definitely be seriously injured.
She couldn't bear to...
The contradictory emotions of hate and love flooded the plains under theSect's robe.
Then, the little tiger's belly began to growl...
Purple spiritual light flashed above the temple. Some cultivators who were sweeping leaves with brooms heard the sound of air breaking in the sky and looked up. Then, they were directly tossed by a gust of wind and rolled to the side.
In front of a pure gold statue of the Buddha in the main hall, Grandmaster Zhiming, wearing a golden cassock, rested one hand on his chest, tapping the wooden fish with a stick in his right hand. Feeling Si Xuanji's aura, he turned his head to look.
The main hall door was blown open by a gust of wind. Si Xuanji, carrying Ye Anping, landed behind him. She threw Ye Anping to the ground, then raised her head and crossed her arms. "Baldy, lend me your land!"
"..."
Grandmaster Zhiming stood up in front of Si Xuanji, silently looking down at her from his seven feet height as if he were a giant. Then, he glanced at Ye Anping, who was lying aside and cupped his hands. "Red Moon, the Buddhism precepts..."
Si Xuanji raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"..."
Grandmaster Zhiming closed his mouth as he leaned over to pick up his wooden fish and put it back in his sleeve, then went straight out of the hall.
After he walked beyond the walls of the outer temple, a spiritual star-like light suddenly condensed into a light wall around the main hall of theSect, sealing the inside and the outside.
Grandmaster Zhiming turned around and looked up at his temple with helpless resignation.
He felt that if he hadn't agreed right now, Si Xuanji would have poured lard into his disciples' food.
Realizing that many disciples were rushing over at this moment, Grandmaster Zhiming sighed. "These days, Buddhist teachings will be taught in theat the foot of the mountain."
"...Oh."
...
Meanwhile, in the main hall.
Ye Anping lay on the ground and stared blankly at the pure gold statue of the Heavenly Buddha. He felt that although his body had arrived, his soul was still chasing him on the sea.
Suddenly, a white jade foot stepped directly on his chest.
The force was not strong, Si Xuanji seemed to have deliberately restrained it a little, not wanting him to be really hurt.
Ye Anping recovered from his daze. He shifted his gaze from the face of the Heavenly Buddha statue to Si Xuanji's face and saw that she was really angry at this moment. Her yin-yang eyes were sad, glad, surprised, and suspicious.
"You fooled me?!"
"Red Moon Matriarch... I didn't mean to do that, but..."
At this point, the jade foot on his chest gently touched his chin and pressed against his mouth.
The big toe slowly brushed across Ye Anping's chin, touched his Adam's apple, and gently pinched it with another toe before finally returning to his chest. It reached into his clothes, pulling it open and revealing Ye Anping's well-defined collarbone.
The toes gently fiddled with the hollow of his collarbone.
Si Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly, her mouth slightly opened and closed, and she asked softly, "Still quibbling?"
At this time, Ye Anping glimpsed that the mask of Si Xuanji's tiger was now soaked...
He was still unsure of Si Xuanji's thoughts, but this scene made him feel relieved.
Ye Anping suddenly grabbed her ankle and sat up.
Si Xuanji's long black-and-white hair, tied up with a headband, spread out like a sheet underneath her. Her small hands, placed on both sides of her cheeks were also pressed down by Ye Anping's palms.
"Red Moon, you promised me that if I formed my, you would be my cultivation partner."
Si Xuanji bit her lip and turned her head away. "How bold are you! You dare to offend your superiors. Since you knew that I was the leader of theSect, why didn't you show any fear when facing me before? Haven't you heard that I am very petty?"
Smiling helplessly, Ye Anping said, "Senior, what you said now doesn't sound like something that the leader of theSect would say."
"..."
"When I formed my core, you came to my place every twelve days to help me restore my body with the dual cultivation method, right? Master Tianji."
"How did you know?"
"Before you left the first day, you accidentally left a pair of underwear. I sniffed it and recognized your smell."
?
Si Xuanji turned around with a frown. "You even smelled it?!"
"Since that time, I have been in love with you. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I really couldn't survive the seventy-two thunder tribulations. But I'm just the leader of a smallSect. I look up to you, how would I dare disrespect you?"
"You are quite disrespectful now... Woo---"
Their lips met, but after only two breaths, they broke apart again.
Si Xuanji's cheeks were slightly flushed. She lowered her eyes to avoid Ye Anping's gaze and whispered, "In terms of age, I could be your great, great, great... grandmother."
"We cultivate immortality, what do we care about age? Besides..." Ye Anping was silent for a while before smiling. "You don't make me feel the sophistication of a mature person. You are quite inexperienced in love affairs."
"I have always dedicated myself to the immortality path, and had no interest in mundane things like love between men and women."
"What about now?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
After the question, there was a long silence in front of the Buddha statue.
Si Xuanji bit her lip lightly and shifted her gaze away from Ye Anping's face, then back to him.
She felt that it was very embarrassing to say what she was thinking now.
She was Red Moon, the Matriarch of theSect, who covered the sky with her hand and moved the stardust with her fingers.
In the past, acting was acting, but she was, after all, the leader of theSect!
How could she talk about love like a little girl?!
So annoying!
After a long stalemate, Si Xuanji gritted her teeth, twisted her body slightly, and directly switched between offense and defense, sitting on Ye Anping's belly with her buttocks.
Si Xuanji looked up at Ye Anping and said softly, "Xuanji."
"...Hmm?"
"Xuanji is fine."
Then, just like Ye Anping pressed his hands to hers just now, she also leaned forward and pressed Ye Anping's big hands under her palms.
Her delicate jade fingers stretched between Ye Anping's fingers and then clasped them in the palm of her hand.
Looking down at Ye Anping, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't think that after becoming my cultivation partner, I will behave like those little girls, Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue, and act cute to you. If you want to suppress me, wait until your cultivation level is on par with mine."
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, and said the truth without any confidence, "To be honest, I don't have the confidence to break through the Void."
"I don't care. You're my cultivation partner now. If you can't break through and dare to leave me widowed, I'll go to the underworld and capture you after you die. When you cross this line, you must remember that you are my man in life and my ghost after death."
"..."
"You are not allowed to die before I let you die, and you are not allowed to leave me before I let you go."
The yin-yang's eyes widened slightly, and the black-and-white pupils seemed to reflect the stars, dazzling and charming, yet deep and terrifying.
However, the slightly childish voice diluted the fierceness, making her sound like a child trying to be threatening.
Although her words were harsh, he felt like laughing.
Si Xuanji straightened her back as she put her hands on Ye Anping's chest and tossed her long hair behind her ears. "For thousands of years, you are the first person who impressed me, and you should be the last one. From now on, you must satisfy me, please me, and love me unconditionally."
Ye Anping propped himself and sat up, touched his forehead with Si Xuanji's, and hugged her waist. "I promise."
The graveness on Si Xuanji's face gradually relaxed after this. She gently pushed Ye Anping's hair aside and kissed him softly.
"ThisSect is one of the best places for the spirit. You have passed the firstlightning tribulation. Although you're almost there, you cannot slack off. You have to pass the remaining thirty-five tribulations here."
"Can I inform my sisters? You suddenly brought me here, and they are still in theSect..."
"I have asked Shuirou to go and tell those girls that you are looking for a place to form your."
"Did you plan this?"
"Guess~"
At this time, a severed hand suddenly moved its fingers from behind Ye Anping's waist and crawled out like a caterpillar
Si Xuanji turned her head to look and raised her hand to touch it, but Gu Mingxin seemed to think it was Ye Anping, and suddenly grabbed her hand.
However, after touching for two breaths, it found that it was not Ye Anping's hand and immediately pinched the back of her hand hard.
Si Xuanji raised her eyebrows slightly and slapped Gu Mingxin's hand on the face of the statue of the Buddha nearby. Then, she wrapped it around the head of the golden Buddha with a golden thread.
Ye Anping turned to look at the golden Buddha and then at the other golden statues around him that he couldn't name. They looked like the golden statues of the previousSect's leaders, and he felt a little ashamed.
Although these golden statues were just ordinary objects, they were carved lifelike, and the eyes were like those of living people, and you could even feel their sight.
But the next moment, Si Xuanji's voice pulled him back.
She leaned close to Ye Anping's ear, gently bit his earlobe, and whispered softly,
"I'm hungry."
"..."
Ye Anping closed his eyes slightly, then hugged Si Xuanji, and pressed his lips on hers.
As the spring breeze rose, Gu Mingxin's hand slapped the Golden Buddha who was making the Dharma Seal on his face, but he could not express pain. He could only watch helplessly as the two people below mixed a strange earthy fragrance in the temple that was filled with sandalwood fragrance.
The sun and moon had set into theseveral times.
The two left their marks everywhere: on the lotus, on the ground, on the beams, by the window, and in the arms of the golden Buddha statue.
Suddenly a thunder rumbled, and thetribulation cloud enveloped the sky above theSect.
Only then, did the two people separate, as if waking from a dream.
One meditated and entered a state of concentration, while the other sat on the offering table and reached out to pick up the fruit and melon seeds on it, waiting at the side.
The golden Buddha statue thought it was finally over, but unexpectedly, after the golden lightning struck Ye Anping, the two people once again invited each other to hug, nibble their ears, touch each other, and merge into one in front of it.
Perhaps because she disliked its dull expression, the little girl with yin-and-yang eyes invited the young man to draw on its face.
"It's so ugly, add some blush... hehe..."
"Xuanji, if we do this, aren't we breaking the precepts and will be punished by heaven?"
"You are a rebellious star, are you still afraid of heaven's punishment?" Si Xuanji grabbed Ye Anping's wrist, put the brush in his hand, and tapped the forehead of the golden Buddha. "Hurry up, you also draw... or I'll draw on you..."
"Sigh..."
Ye Anping felt a little helpless and expressed a little apology to the golden Buddha in his heart, then he took the initiative to add a "turtle" on its forehead.
Well, as long as Si Xuanji was happy.
Before leaving, he would spend some time cleaning it up, and it should be fine if he knocked the wooden fish drum for a while.
Buddha is merciful~
Grandmaster Zhiming should be too.
