78: Chapter 78 Disciple Pays Homage to Master

"Wuu... you stinky Senior Brother, clearly you were so afraid of Master Shen Xi, yet you still tried to act tough."

Ye Xuan stood there with Little Moon on his back, unable to react for a long time. Suddenly, a slight tremor at his toes brought him back to his senses.

"Senior Brother, why are you still standing there like a fool? Hurry up and take me back to Sword Immortal Peak!" Finding that Ye Xuan still didn't respond to her, Little Moon became a bit angry. A glimmer of cunning flashed in her clear, beautiful eyes as she stretched out her small hand and vigorously ruffled Ye Xuan's hair: "Hehe, were you stunned by Master Shen Xi's celestial beauty? Today was the first time Master Shen Xi has revealed her true face in front of a man. Senior Brother, you were really scary just now."

"That's true, Master Shen Xi was really scary." Ye Xuan came back to his senses and helplessly reached out to grab Little Moon's restless little hands: "Cultivation is like walking ten thousand miles; that, too, is cultivation."

"Alright, Little Junior Sister, let's go!"

Ye Xuan curled his lips, seemingly having thought of something fun, and reached out to give Little Moon a hard smack on her behind.

"Wuuuu... Senior Brother, you hit me on the butt!"

"Who told you to mess with my hair just now? This is a return gift."

Ye Xuan chuckled twice. Ignoring Little Moon's protests, he adjusted his mood and rushed towards the outside, but he stopped awkwardly after only a few steps: "Little Moon, which way is Sword Immortal Peak?"

"Hmph... go left first. Yes, that's this way. Then go right. Yes, that's right, just like that."

Little Moon, as if riding a mount, began to unscrupulously direct Ye Xuan toward Sword Immortal Peak.

Truth be told, the Cangqiong Holy Land was truly massive.

The two of them had already been walking for about an hour, yet they still hadn't arrived.

"Little Junior Sister, is Master Shen Xi always this cold?" Seeing that they hadn't reached Sword Immortal Peak yet, Ye Xuan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Little Moon shook her small head, negating Ye Xuan's question: "Not at all. Master Shen Xi used to be very gentle with me, and she was super nice. She would always come to Sword Immortal Peak to pick me up."

"Perhaps it's because Senior Brother made Master Shen Xi unhappy just now. Even for me, that was the first time I had ever seen such an expression."

Ye Xuan's face flushed, and he whispered a rebuttal: "Nonsense, Master Shen Xi was testing me, alright?"

Those silver longswords formed by Sword Intent didn't carry a shred of killing intent. If Master Shen Xi had truly been angry, those silver longswords would have likely turned him into a hedgehog long ago.

"Hmph, and I wonder who it was that stood there blankly, not moving an inch, after seeing Master Shen Xi leave just now." Little Moon squinted her crescent-moon eyes and revealed the truth with a dark belly.

"Little Moon, it's really far."

Ye Xuan tried to change the subject, casually finding an excuse to complain.

"Hmph, just go up another ten miles and we'll be there."

They had already been walking for an hour and a half when Ye Xuan finally saw the base of the Sword Immortal Peak that Little Moon had mentioned. He looked up blankly at the mountain peak that pierced the clouds and was filled with celestial mist: "Little Moon, how do we get up there?"

"Hehe, Senior Brother might not know, but the Snow Spirit Dress I am wearing is actually a Royal-grade treasure. It can fly!"

Little Moon on Ye Xuan's back giggled twice and clumsily took out a handkerchief to wipe the bean-sized sweat from Ye Xuan's forehead.

"What??? Little Moon, so you've been lying to Senior Brother the whole way?" Ye Xuan suddenly turned his head, looking at Little Moon with a smile that wasn't a smile, and raised his left hand, looking very much like he was about to make a move behind him.

"Wuu... it's not my fault, it's just that Senior Brother carrying me feels so comfortable..."

Under Ye Xuan's gaze filled with resentment, Little Moon admitted defeat, lowering her head and saying from time to time with a guilty conscience.

In such a short time, the favorability that had just stopped had already risen to eighty. Seeing this, Ye Xuan didn't feel very angry anymore.

"If you dare to lie to Senior Brother again next time, I'll make sure you can only sleep on your stomach!"

"Senior Brother, I won't dare to do it again." Little Moon lowered her head, blushing with shame and fear as she said: "Senior Brother, then you have to promise me you won't hit my behind whenever you want..."

"Hmm, alright, Senior Brother will remember that."

Ye Xuan held Little Moon in front of him, one hand wrapped around her slender waist: "Now, take Senior Brother and fly up together."

Upon hearing this, Little Moon had no choice but to use spirit stones to activate the Royal-grade Snow Spirit Dress she was wearing.

"Buzz—" This Royal-grade treasure, which looked like a celestial dress, instantly emitted a portion of its power, carrying Little Moon and Ye Xuan together as they flew towards Sword Immortal Peak.

"Little Moon, what did you grow up eating?" Ye Xuan had black lines on his forehead. He glanced at the exquisite figure of Little Moon in his arms and couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Little Moon was wrapping her small hands around Ye Xuan's neck. Hearing Ye Xuan's words, her pretty face turned even redder: "Senior Brother is so bad."

At this moment, both of them could feel each other's breathing.

Sword Immortal Peak was considered the highest of the suspended celestial peaks located in the center of the Cangqiong Holy Land.

This place was like a fairyland, with nine celestial cranes circling in the sky and white clouds and mist swirling around the peak.

Sword Immortal Peak was huge, at least a thousand miles in size.

Several spirit gardens were planted with seventh-grade spirit herbs that would make the secular world go crazy with greed. Several small springs spat out one after another dense streams of spiritual energy, and a hundred-zhang-sized celestial lake stood in the very center.

And on the celestial lake, there was only one small island, on which stood a simple Snow Spirit Wood pavilion, as simple and mysterious as Master Shen Xi.

"Master Shen Xi, I'm back!"

Little Moon carried Ye Xuan and flew towards the small island on the celestial lake.

"Is this a spirit vein?" Ye Xuan was again shocked by the luxury of this place.

Those large and small spirit springs, as well as this celestial lake, were all spawned by spirit veins. In other words, even a drop of water here could be considered a precious spirit herb.

"That lotus flower is truly beautiful." Ye Xuan's gaze was suddenly attracted by the dozens of white lotus flowers in the middle of the lake. He counted them and saw there were ten petals, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Could that be a Longevity Great Medicine?"

"Pretty Boy, from now on, I, Master Shen Xi, will be your master."

The Spirit Wood door opened automatically, and Master Shen Xi, dressed in plain white robes, walked out from within and glanced at Ye Xuan indifferently.

"Disciple Ye Xuan pays respects to Master!" Ye Xuan finally came back to his senses. He looked at the blurry celestial shadow in front of him, but still knelt on the ground and performed the kowtow ceremony of three kowtows and nine prostrations.

"To be able to see my true face without being affected—Pretty Boy, based on this alone, you are already many times stronger than anyone else in this world." Under Master Shen Xi's hazy celestial shadow, her voice sounded like celestial music, making one's heart calm down.

"Even if you possess two kinds of rare divine bodies, if you hadn't passed this test, I would not have accepted you as a disciple."

Upon hearing this, although Ye Xuan was happy in his heart, he still stubbornly asked: "Then... Master Shen Xi, can you not call me Pretty Boy? Where do I look like a Pretty Boy?"

"Oh? Then what do you want me to call you? Little Xuan?"

Master Shen Xi's gaze suddenly turned strange when she looked at Ye Xuan, as if she was holding a grudge about what happened at Cangjian Peak before.

Hearing the eunuch-like title from his master, Ye Xuan immediately agreed, saying repeatedly: "No, Master Shen Xi, you'd better call me Pretty Boy."

"Very well, Pretty Boy. From now on, you are my, Master Shen Xi's, person. There are no extra rooms on Sword Immortal Peak, so if you want to stay here, you must build a new house yourself." Master Shen Xi looked at Ye Xuan with a smile that wasn't a smile and arranged everything.
