There is a Bagua on Fengqin Mountain 1

“Ah-Jun”.

Huaiwen turned around, looked at Xuan Ye, and calmly advised, "I want to go back to Fengqin Mountain. I won't go back to Luofu with you."

Xuan Ye's face was serious, but his eyes showed determination. He stepped forward and took a deep breath: "I know, I'll go with you."

The setting sun shone through the clouds onto the two of them. Huaiwen hadn't expected Xuanye to say such a thing. She had prepared other arguments to persuade Xuanye, but now it was all useless.

Huaiwen looked up and met Xuan Ye's gaze. His deep eyes shone with a star-like brilliance. She had to begin a new thought.

It seems that ever since she started spending time with Xuan Ye, he has not given her the feeling that everyone says he is.

The inner voice asks again, why is this?

“Ah-Jun”.

Huaiwen looked up at the sound and saw Zhenli leading the other priests forward: "The priests who came down with me will handle the matter of the cat demon. As for Canglun and the others, they need to heal their injuries now, so we need to go back."

Huaiwen nodded.

"If you have anything else to say, then say it." Zhenli glanced at the little priests who were itching to act but trying to control themselves, and then gave the four of them some space.

As soon as the examiner left, Mo Heng immediately stepped forward, grasped Huai Wen's hand, and said solemnly with teary eyes, "You must attain immortality and become a god. We will definitely meet in the realm of gods."

“Okay…” Huaiwen nodded in response, slightly surprised.

Mo Heng kept expressing his gratitude to Huai Wen, but when Huai Wen tried to let go of Mo Heng's hand, he found that Mo Heng held it even tighter. Huai Wen paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Cang Lun and the others, whose faces showed an expression of normalcy.

But soon Huaiwen noticed that the other three people's usual expressions had become tense and anxious, and their faces were filled with fear.

"Alright, alright, Mo Heng, you're going to break that girl's hand." Cang Lun stepped forward and pulled Mo Heng away. "Miss A-Jun, I'm sorry, he's just a bit sentimental, he didn't mean anything by it."

Huaiwen chuckled awkwardly, "I know."

"Miss A-Jun, no matter what, we still want to thank you and your partner for your help along the way." Cang Lun said with a smile, "Next time we meet, I'll show you my skills with a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!"

Rong Yun swung his hand and stepped forward: "With your cooking skills, forget it. Be careful people don't get diarrhea from eating it."

As expected, the three started arguing. Huaiwen watched, a feeling of happiness welling up inside him. Soon, Shi Yuluo stepped forward and offered a few words of advice, and the group stopped arguing. Then, the four of them exchanged a knowing glance and respectfully wished Huaiwen well: "Ajun, may all your wishes come true and may you attain immortality."

We will meet again in the Divine Realm.

It was sunset, yet it never lost its warmth. In the afterglow, Huaiwen smiled gently and waved goodbye. The stars will rise after nightfall, and blessings will be answered with the rising and setting of the sun.

Onikiri rushed over, smiling and praising the group of priests, then thanked Genye for protecting Huaiwen. As they talked, the two little demons even started acting. This made Huaiwen blush.

Well, to put it simply, aside from her family, Ruan Shiyun and Ruan Huaiwen have never hugged anyone else, let alone lay in the arms of a man. Recently, however, she has been in the arms of the Demon King Lingshan Xuanye, enjoying intimate contact with him.

Huaiwen couldn't bear to interrupt the two little ghosts' hard-won good mood, so she turned away and stopped looking. However, she met Xuan Ye's eyes, and her face turned even redder. She could only turn her face away, cough a few times, and signal to Oni-slayer to stop playing around.

However, the turbid energy on the two little monsters was healed by the Heavenly Spring Water that Zhenli brought from the God Realm, and now they are full of energy. They are so engrossed in their performance that they don't notice Huaiwen at all, and even repeatedly demonstrate the scene where Xuanye catches her.

In contrast, Xuan Ye watched her with complete openness and gusto, clearly enjoying the performance of Onimusha: Demon Slayer. Towards the end, Huai Wen gave up struggling and calmly watched the two little demons from the side.

At this moment, Xuan Ye walked over to Huai Wen and sat down next to him, very close together, and deliberately asked, "What do you think of their performance?"

"Pretty good. Quite a lot of inner monologues." Huaiwen didn't look at Xuan Ye; her smile was enigmatic.

"Looks like you know a lot about this."

“I—” Huaiwen turned to look at Xuan Ye, unconsciously pouting, and then asked in return, “You, as the lord of a region, know more than I do, don’t you?”

Xuan Ye raised a flirtatious eyebrow, his face lighting up with delight. He shifted his body and nudged Huai Wen, a broad smile on his face, and replied in a languid voice, "Hmm, I know a little. So—will you sleep with me tonight?"

With a whoosh, Huaiwen moved her buttocks away, waved her hand to indicate that men and women should not touch each other, and began to stammer, "You mean even your demon realm has such distinctions!"

Xuan Ye found it amusing. He first gave an "oh," then moved closer to Huai Wen, teasing him without changing his expression: "Didn't we sleep together for two nights too?"

Huaiwen leaned back: "There's a reason for that. Besides, there's an empty space in the middle, so don't talk nonsense."

Xuan Ye gave a cheerful yet meaningful "oh" to himself. He was about to ask when the two little demons, Onikiri and Onikiri, who had been playing, came running over and stood between them, obediently asking where they were going next.

"Yes, where are we going to sleep? It's already dark," Xuan Ye added, trying to hide his smile.

Huaiwen glared at Xuan Ye, thinking how childish this demon king was. But it was indeed getting dark, and they really should find a place to rest. Huaiwen stood up and stretched his body: "Where else can we go? Let's go back to that little hut."

That night, Huaiwen couldn't possibly lie in the same bed with Xuanye, as Onikiri was sandwiched between them. But the next day, for some reason, Onikiri slept on the lower level, and she and Xuanye lay together again.

Forget it, she should just accept her fate. The Demon King is quite a tough opponent.

Huaiwen got up, went outside, stood under the eaves, and looked at the sunny weather. She thought that Fengqin Mountain must be calm and peaceful.

Before returning to Fengqin Mountain, Huaiwen tried to persuade Xuanye to go back to Luofu, but he wouldn't listen. So she lied through her teeth, "Fengqin Mountain doesn't allow disciples to bring outsiders in. If they want to, they have to ask permission. But you know, given your status, it's not appropriate for me to..."

Unexpectedly, Xuan Ye laughed and replied, "That's easy, I'll just be your creditor."

"I don't owe you any money..."

"Then you owe me a favor."

"Oh dear—" Huaiwen's voice was so charming that she didn't even realize she was being coquettish.

Xuan Ye took it to heart, feeling delighted and quite pleased. The Oni-Slayers and Oni-Kiri were nearby, and it was the first time they had ever seen their master in such a shy and adorable state.

Well, when they were acting, they felt that their master and the little follower that their master was talking about were very close!

They noticed this little follower the very first day they met him. Their owner, Huaiwen, was much more patient with him than with others. Considering they might not have eaten pork, but hadn't they at least seen a pig run? The atmosphere between the two was rather peculiar.

Huaiwen asked him helplessly how he could be so eloquent.

Xuan Ye chuckled: "Didn't you tell me to learn it?"

Huaiwen was trying to recall when she had said those words when her memory flooded back. She had indeed made Xuan Ye read books and imitate human speech while she was in Luofu…

The culprit was actually herself.

She was the only one left to clean up the mess, but she seemed to have a new idea the moment she met Xuan Ye's gaze. She agreed to let Xuan Ye return to Fengqin Mountain with her, but he couldn't appear in human form; he had to transform into a small animal. The idea was that the small animal could come up the mountain without needing to report.

Onikiri stared wide-eyed; they had never heard of this before and had learned something new today.

Xuan Ye stared intently at Huai Wen, seemingly trying to glean something from her eyes, but she was very patient and didn't give him a chance. Helpless, Xuan Ye sighed, "Then you have to promise me a few things."

"What is it?" Huaiwen asked cautiously.

"First, you must take me with you wherever you go. Second, no one else can get close to me. Third, we must stay together at all times; you must protect me."

Huaiwen pondered his words for a moment, then asked sincerely, "Are you serious?"

He's just a demon king, why does he need her protection?

The other party replied quite frankly, "Otherwise what?"

Huaiwen pursed his lips, inwardly sighing – this demon is not benevolent!

When they returned to the foot of Fengqin Mountain, Huaiwen and Onikiri were both wondering what kind of small animal Xuanye would transform into. The Demon King arrogantly snorted and transformed into a soft, white puppy, appearing steadily in Huaiwen's arms.

"Are you a puppy in real life?"

The puppy shook its head.

"Then what is your true form?"

The puppy wagged its tail, pouted, and didn't say anything.

Huaiwen couldn't hide her smile and couldn't help but reach out and stroke the fur of the puppy Xuanye in her arms. It felt so good. No wonder Xuanye liked to pet her so much when she turned into a kitten.

Xuan Ye seemed to enjoy being touched, even making soft "uh-huh" sounds. Huai Wen found it really cute and touched him for a while longer.

After a long pause, Huaiwen finally spoke: "Lord City Lord, you can't stay in my arms forever. Please get down and walk."

"I'm an injured puppy, please hold me."

Huaiwen laughed and lifted him up: "Where are you hurt? You're fine, otherwise I would be the one getting tired."

Huaiwen tried to put Xuanye on the ground, but Xuanye refused to budge. Huaiwen gritted his teeth and tried again, but he couldn't overpower Xuanye.

Huaiwen sighed and asked, "Are you really trying to work me to death?"

Xuan Ye pouted, "I've already become your pet, can't you treat me well?"

Huaiwen felt a pang of sympathy for his pitiful appearance; who could bear to hurt such a poor, well-behaved dog? She glanced at Onikiri and saw that the two little demons also had pitiful eyes, clearly pleading for Xuan Ye.

“Alright,” Huaiwen conceded, “but you have to behave.”

The puppy was satisfied and rubbed against Huaiwen obediently.

Huaiwen was bewildered by the puppy—

Fortunately, the playful warbling of orioles in the mountains drew her attention away from the puppy. After a moment, Huaiwen picked up the puppy and went up the mountain.

As its name suggests, Fengqin Mountain is a place where the wind produces melodies at certain times as it blows through the forest. These melodies are not man-made, but rather arise from the mountains and forests themselves.

But if you want to carefully trace the origin of music, you will most likely have to look to nature to discern the sounds the trees make, the sounds the flowers make, and the melodies the birds add...

Aside from the pleasure of listening to music at Fengqin Mountain, this is the closest place to the realm of the gods. It is said that many officials in the divine realm cultivated themselves at Fengqin Mountain before attaining immortality. Therefore, Fengqin Mountain is also known as the Mountain of Ascension to Immortality.

It is the place that cultivators of immortality most want to come to.

However, Fengqin Mountain has always accepted disciples based on affinity; those who come seeking worship are not accepted if there is no affinity.

This makes it even more mysterious.

When the arched door formed by the fusion of four large banyan trees appeared before Huaiwen, Onikiri and the little dog Genye couldn't help but wonder, how could this place be so natural and simple?

“I quite like this. You guys don’t?” Huaiwen asked deliberately.

How could Onikiri not like it? He shook his head frantically, saying no. Xuan Ye lazily said, "I have no objection."

"Don't say anything after you go inside."

"We'll see."

Huaiwen picked up the puppy again, looked it into his eyes, and warned, "Be careful, or I'll leave you here."

Xuan Ye turned his face away: "If you're not worried about me causing trouble."

These words silenced Huaiwen again, but she couldn't let Xuan Ye always be one step ahead of her, so she angrily threw Xuan Ye to the ground and strode inside. The little dog Xuan Ye could only follow her in, wagging its tail.
