"Tired!?"

Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, then almost laughed.

I thought she was homesick, or missed Little Fatty and Black Rabbit, but I didn't expect it to be this reason.

"Alright, since you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll go catch a dragon and roast it; you can eat it when you wake up."

"Ah ah, thank you, Master! You're so kind, Master!"

Yi Cheng rubbed her little eyes again, then happily ran into the house, huffed and puffed as she climbed onto her spirit stone bed, and fell asleep on her back.

"Hmph—"

Da Bao excitedly rushed into his bamboo grove, hugged the tender white bamboo shoots, and happily began to nibble on them.

A short while later.

When Little Fatty and Black Rabbit, who were patrolling the mountain, heard that Yi Cheng had returned, they ran back excitedly, only to find that Yi Cheng was asleep and they couldn't wake her up no matter how hard they tried.

"What's wrong with Yicheng? She came back and just went to sleep, and she won't play with us?"

"Yeah, that's right. Yi Cheng is becoming increasingly disloyal."

"Black Rabbit, why don't we sneak down the mountain to find my sister?" Little Fatty suggested.

"But we're so cute, what if we get kidnapped by demon traffickers?" Black Rabbit scratched her head. "And I can't find my way home."

"..." The chubby boy pouted and remained silent, finally sighing, "Oh well, let's go eat grapes and talk about it when Yicheng wakes up."

"Okay, let's talk about it after Yicheng wakes up."

...

noon.

The Qin beast captured a wicked dragon and brought it back.

After roasting the meat, Qin Shou tried to wake Yi Cheng to eat, but found that the little one was sleeping too soundly and couldn't be woken up, so he just let her sleep.

For the next two days, Yi Cheng didn't wake up.

Qin Shou sensed something was wrong and specifically checked Yi Cheng's body, but found nothing wrong.

So they assumed that Yi Cheng had simply overexerted herself and was being a bit sleepy.

But for two months in a row, Yi Cheng remained like this, and Qin Shou finally became anxious.

I, a dignified immortal, cannot even find the reason...

"Master, what's going on?"

"System..."

"System, system, system, system..."

Okay, stop arguing. It's nothing serious, just let her sleep.

"Phew, that's good."

Qin Shou breathed a sigh of relief.

He still believed Tongzi's words.

After all, as a transmigrator, everyone knows that a 'system' is an invisible cheat code that is 'omnipotent' and 'infallible'.

"Master, when will Yicheng wake up?"

Little Fatty stared wide-eyed at him expectantly.

"I don't know, Yi Cheng is too tired from playing and will sleep for a long time." Qin Shou smiled and patted the little fat boy's head, saying, "You should also go cultivate quickly, and try to become a Demon Emperor in the Integration Realm by the time Yi Cheng wakes up. Then, you can brag to Yi Cheng as much as you want."

"Yes, yes, I, the Koi King, am going to become the Demon Emperor!" Little Fatty raised his little fist excitedly. "Sister said that the Demon Emperor is an extremely powerful being among the demon race. I'm going to scare Yi Cheng to death, hehehe..."

"Black Rabbit, let's go cultivate quickly."

Little Fatty covered his mouth and ran off to cultivate with a happy grin.

"Yes, yes, I, Grandpa Black Rabbit, will also become a Great Demon Emperor!"

Black Rabbit also seemed very excited.

He is now a rabbit with dreams.

Da Mei said that her mother had told her a story about a beautiful mountain in the fairy realm where many beautiful elves lived. The elves would weave many beautiful little clothes from clouds, and the black rabbit wanted to carry the whole mountain to Da Mei.

Qin Shou looked at the backs of the two chubby little boys and shook his head with a smile.

Dusk was approaching.

The evening sky was shrouded in a hazy glow.

The entire sky resembles a piece of colorful, dazzling glass.

Qin Shou sat under a peach tree on the hilltop, petals fluttering down and covering his shoulders.

The immortals have nothing to do; they observe the mountains and rivers with their palms.

He saw a desolate land with countless black cracks extending outwards, from which all sorts of eerie and malevolent energy surged forth, accompanied by many strange and bizarre creatures... Da Mei cleaved open a chasm with her sword, isolating the eerie and malevolent energy from the humans behind her. As a Confucian sage, she sat here for sixty years, offering up a red gourd to continuously absorb the malevolent energy gushing from the abyss.

A faint golden light emanated from her body, a manifestation of her merit in protecting humanity.

This situation is occurring in various states one after another.

The scene then shifts to a deep mountain forest, where a massive riot by demons is raging. A tall, stunningly beautiful woman walks through the forest, wielding a water-colored glass sword. With each step she takes, icy sword energy spreads, freezing countless demons to death... Her white dress is stained with blood, her face is exquisitely beautiful, and she holds the hand of a little girl with blue hair in her left hand.

"Master, it's snowing!"

Just then, a little girl standing nearby suddenly stretched out her delicate white hand to catch a snowflake from the sky and said in a clear voice.

"Um. "

Nangong Liuli tilted her head back slightly, the snowflakes falling into her eyes, turning into an indescribable coolness.

"Missing your mother again?"

"Yes, she's the best mother in the world, how could Jingjing not miss her?"

The little girl tilted her head back and said:

"Master, is there someone you miss?"

Nangong Liuli paused:

"...I think so."

"Master, are you also thinking about your mother?"

"no. "

"So who are you thinking about?"

“A…beast.”

"...Master, is it because I haven't studied enough that I didn't understand what you meant?"

"Right... So you must study swordsmanship diligently, so that you can rid the people of beasts you encounter in the future."

“..............”

"hehe. "

On the hilltop, Qin Shou watched this scene, shook his head, and smiled.

The scene then shifts again—

It was a dilapidated city, shrouded in eternal night, forever without light.

Evil spirits often appear around the city, devouring humankind.

On that dilapidated city wall sat a handsome young man, with the sun and moon hanging from his shoulders, transforming into a terrifying sword aura that enveloped the entire city, in order to resist the ghostly creatures in the darkness.

"Brother Yun, when can I learn swordsmanship from you?"

A snotty-nosed little boy ran up the city wall, clutching a wooden sword, and stared at the handsome young man in front of him with adoration.

"Grandpa said, 'Brother Yun, you are the kindest and most skilled swordsman in the world.' He also said, 'If I could learn even a tenth of your skills, Brother Yun, I could protect the people of Sunset City.'"

"Haha, you want to become a great swordsman so you can marry the rich kid next door, right?"

Yun Anran laughed heartily.

"No...I...I didn't."

The little boy blushed immediately and stammered.

"Alright, I told you, once you've swung the sword 100,000 times according to my method, I'll teach you swordsmanship and make you the most powerful swordsman in the world."

"Brother Yun, how much longer do I have to wield my sword?"

"Hmm... at your current pace, it'll probably take seven years."

"Ah! So long!" the little boy said with some worry. "I'm seven years old now, and Sister Yuanyuan is nine. Will she be married in seven years? My mother said that girls here can get married at fourteen. And even if I start learning swordsmanship, I can't become a great swordsman overnight!"

"Haha, and you still say you're not doing this to marry Erniu!" Yun Anran laughed, pointing at the little boy.

"I...I..."

The little boy's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Seeing this, Yun Anran patted his head and said, "Tiezhu, you must remember, it's natural for boys to like girls. Don't be shy or afraid. Learn to be brave and express your feelings to the girl you like."

"But..." Tie Zhu paused, then said somewhat dejectedly, "Grandpa said our family is worlds apart from Sister Yuanyuan's family..."

"Hey, look at you, you think this little difficulty is enough to stop you?"

Yun Anran immediately interrupted the little boy, patted his head and said:

"Someone like you wants to be my disciple, Yun Anran?! Isn't that just embarrassing me, your master?!"
