Chapter 1101 Just Go with the Flow

Is the wild horse going berserk?

Song Chunxue quickly got up. Oh no, she had forgotten about Stubborn Donkey these days. Could he be planning to cause trouble?

She quickly rummaged through the food on the plate, not even bothering to drink her tea, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth as she walked.

Changfeng and Changyun ran even faster, saying, "Master, don't rush. Let's go take a look first, have some tea, and then come back."

Song Chunxue really wanted to drink tea, but she hadn't had any water by now.

Tu Dan'er placed a bowl of tea in front of her. "My master said that the stubborn donkey is not something that ordinary people can understand. You should go yourself, Aunt."

"I'll go with you." Xie Zheng was about to get up.

"Eat slowly, especially if you have a sensitive stomach." Song Chunxue pressed down on his shoulder and handed him a small porcelain bottle. "Take a few pills before meals from now on."

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal sat on the highest step, with Master Han standing half a meter away beside him.

Watching Song Chunxue's departing figure, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal muttered, "Is my disciple always this infuriating?"

"What do you mean by that?" Master Han asked with a smile. "Have you taken a fancy to that stubborn donkey?"

“No wonder your son took a liking to it. That stubborn donkey is no ordinary one. How did she manage to pick it up?” The Moon-Companion Immortal stroked his beard. “When I was her age, I was so poor that I couldn’t even afford a donkey.”

Master Han laughed unkindly, "Then you're about the same as Zhang Chengxuan."

“Yes,” said the Moon-Accompanying Immortal, looking at the rolling white clouds in the distance. “Although her past life was quite miserable, this life is enough to make people envious. I would rather have had an even more miserable past life, so that I could be like her in this life, with opportunities everywhere.”

Master Han slowly and methodically picked up the last rice noodle with his chopsticks. "What kind of opportunity is Third Senior Brother going to give her?"

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal shook his head. "I don't know either. It shouldn't be an ordinary opportunity. After all, not everything can be called an opportunity."

Master Han slammed the plate onto the kitchen counter, took out a pot of wine, and handed it to him. "You haven't set a date for them to become Daoist partners yet? What, do you expect her to have a baby?"

"She's had enough children already, don't add to her burden. You know she can't afford that kind of delay."

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal gazed intently at the changing sky. "Of course I know, I definitely won't let her suffer that hardship again. I'm just calculating which day is the best, one that won't harm her."

Master Han remained silent, looking down at the jade thumb ring on his thumb.

Funerals bring bad luck, while happy events bring misfortune.

Choosing an auspicious day for happy events is very important; otherwise, minor troubles may arise.

After a moment, he laughed and said, "If you have good intentions, you can be free from all taboos. Don't be so serious. If you're too selfish, you won't be able to be considerate of everyone."

He knew that his senior brother valued the two of them highly, which was why he had been hesitant to set a date.

"By the way, what about Fangyue?" Banyue Immortal asked helplessly. "That girl is really stubborn. Even though we said it was a doomed relationship, she just wouldn't cut it off. Hesitation only leads to more trouble. I don't know what she can't bear to part with such a fickle man."

Master Han smiled slightly, “Perhaps the mundane and tasteless path of cultivation is not as exhilarating as the excruciating pain. Otherwise, why don’t mortals drink plain porridge every day? The fact that foods like bitter melon, houttuynia cordata, and stinky tofu are so popular proves the complexity of human nature.”

The Moon-Accompanying Immortal laughed, "What, you're even more indifferent than I am? Why don't you want to ascend?"

"Isn't it good now? Whenever I want to be worshipped and have a good job to live a good life, I'll go for it. Are you comfortable now, Senior Brother? Do you regret ascending to heaven a little later?"

"..." The Moon-Accompanying Immortal was speechless, unable to even feel angry.

Master Han looked at him, his tone tinged with an unpleasant indifference, yet a smile played at the corners of his mouth.

After ascending to heaven, there are no emotions or ups and downs, and humanity is eliminated. Although the feeling of a pure, peaceful, comfortable, and dust-free soul is wonderful, it is inevitable to feel tired after a long time.

Although he used to call Fangyue silly, he now admires her stubbornness.

This is why, even though he didn't need to be entangled with the mortal world, he still came to this place and took in two new disciples.

Of course, he is one of the few.

People strive for higher positions, water flows downhill; survival of the fittest, natural selection, moving forward is the right path.

But some people still hope to move at a slower pace.

...

When Song Chunxue arrived at the front hall, she saw the unruly donkey that had broken free of its reins, digging a large hole in the beautiful grass, and the carefully maintained shrubs and flowers on both sides of the road were almost completely destroyed.

Song Chunxue frowned, took out a riding whip from her storage ring, and strode aggressively toward the stubborn donkey, cracking the whip forcefully as she went.

The sound of something cutting through the air startled the stubborn mule who was in a fit of anger, and he subconsciously took two steps toward her.

When he saw the whip in her hand, he turned sideways and ran back, glancing at Song Chunxue out of the corner of his eye as he ran.

His self-righteous act left Tu Dan'er and the others speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"This little brat is quite clever. He knows his martial uncle is angry, so he's toned it down a lot."

“Changyun and I have been feeding him from time to time lately. Why did he suddenly throw a tantrum? Is it because Master hasn’t looked after him in a long time?” Changfeng couldn’t help but sigh. “He’s just a horse, how can he have such a temper?”

"Otherwise, why would it be called Stubborn Donkey? It's even more stubborn than a donkey. Master even gave away the Qilin. I wonder if he has the patience to raise this Stubborn Donkey." Changyun said helplessly, "It's a pity that Stubborn Donkey doesn't like us. Otherwise, we could serve it good food and drink and even give it a bath. This horse is becoming more and more majestic, and there's a faint white mark between its eyebrows."

Wuji put his hands on his hips and said, "Then let's try our best to conquer him. If our martial uncle can do it, why don't we give it a try?"

Changyun secretly felt that his master shouldn't have given away such a spirited horse.

Just take good care of it.

So what if she has a bad temper? Just go along with it.

Sure enough, Song Chunxue, holding a piece of fruit she had picked from who-knows-where, said to the stubborn donkey, "Come here, I won't hit you."

The stubborn donkey stopped in its tracks, scrutinizing her carefully, its ears twitching as if considering whether to believe her.

But thinking that she hadn't thought to visit him even once in all these days, the stubborn donkey immediately turned his head to look at the sky, looking arrogant and dissatisfied.

[This little beast is insulting you. It's clearly a horse, but it acts like it's possessed. I've heard of sycophants, but never horse spirits. Don't you think this horse has become a spirit?]

Song Chunxue was speechless. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

She put her hands on her hips and said to the stubborn mule, "Look what you've done! If you want me to come, then come and find me directly. What kind of skill is it to destroy someone's carefully tended garden trees?"

"Pfft~" The stubborn donkey snorted, suddenly feeling extremely aggrieved, and brayed a few times, squeezing its heavy head into Song Chunxue's arms.

At this moment, Xie Zheng and Zhang Chengxuan walked over slowly, talking to each other.

The stubborn donkey suddenly trotted straight towards Xie Zheng, bowing its head and butting against him.

"Pfft pfft~"

The stubborn donkey pawed at the ground while nudging Xie Zheng with its head, seemingly very dissatisfied with him.

Zhang Chengxuan laughed, "This stubborn mule is blaming you for not letting your junior brother see him, hahaha~"

The next moment, the stubborn donkey turned and walked towards Zhang Chengxuan, affectionately rubbing against his arm before resting its head on Zhang Chengxuan's shoulder.
