Lou Yu had previously given everything to save Nan Yu, including risking his own life. But because he had exhausted all his chances last time, he was now even more powerless. He wanted to save his master, but he could only wander around like a headless fly.

"Cough cough."

Lou Yu thought he was hallucinating, then there were two more coughs.

Each thrust was heavier than the last, and the person in her arms moved as well. Suddenly opening her eyes, Nan Yu cried out in pain, pouting and complaining:

"You stinking bastard, what a piece of trash! I'm exhausted." Looking at his little apprentice who was trying to hold back his tears, Dengxin felt a pang of heartache.

She cupped her face in her hands and kissed him twice on the lips. "I swear, this is the last time I'll die. Next time, I'll die after you die. Don't be sad, this is to make it up to you." She wanted to continue.

Lou Yu was almost scared to death by him and was in no mood for anything else. Now that the man was awake, he was only relieved.

He pulled her into his arms, not only holding her tightly but also covering her with a blanket, and wouldn't let Nan Yu sleep outside.

They forced people to sit on the inner couch.

The gaps at the top and bottom were all covered with blankets, as if only in this way could he feel safe enough and believe that his master would not leave again.

Seeing that he was really scared, Nan Yu gently nudged Lou Yu's leg with her knee. "I was just kidding. I sealed your pulse and pretended to be dead to see your reaction. Were you really worried? I'm sorry."

To help him relax, Xiao Dengxin made up some excuses.

Lou Yu ignored him and continued to hold him tightly.

Nan Yu had no choice but to lean against his broad chest, holding his large hand, and continue to soothe him. Five hours passed like this, and Deng Xin got sleepy, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

Lou Yu was so frightened that she had a stress reaction and hurriedly shook people off.

The little lamp wick was woken up, smacked its lips, and snuggled into Lou Yu's arms like a child seeking refuge in its mother's embrace, saying, "Sleepy."

But when he falls asleep, Lou Yu gets anxious, worrying that he might have died again.

Even without making a fuss, you'll still poke him.

He only felt that the wick of the lamp could give him a response; now, he felt that feeling his pulse and breathing were not enough, and that the other person had to give him a response.

The lamp wick was so sleepy, it felt like he was back in the days when he was still in the Heavenly Palace. Sometimes the Heavenly Dao would stay up all night, making his head spin. He clenched his hands behind his back, his eyes were tired, and his voice was hoarse when he turned his head to speak:

"If you're worried about me dying, just crack my finger a little, don't be too hard."

This time, Lou Yu actually agreed obediently.

Perhaps because her soul had just merged into her body, she had some rejection reaction and slept for two whole days, which terrified Lou Yu once again. If it weren't for her pulse, he probably would have gone crazy.

Every second feels like a year.

Finally, the lamp wick woke up.

So frightened, she kissed and hugged him repeatedly, as if only in this way could she feel the presence of her master.

Lou Yu finally felt it was real. He snuggled close to Deng Xin's ear and whispered, "Master, I want to hear you call me husband, for the rest of my life, okay?"

Nan Yu looked at the big dog with reddened eyes and her heart softened completely. She hugged him tightly and said, "Husband."

"Mmm." Lou Yu's eyes welled up with tears as she agreed.

"My lord."

"Hmm." The arm tightened more and more with each movement.

"I'll tell you a secret."

Lou Yu kissed the corner of Xiao Dengxin's mouth and nodded with a soft "Mmm".

"I have three names."

Lou Yu was stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes again. Was her master about to tell her his true identity?

The wick smiled slyly, "Remember this well, don't call me by the wrong name next time."

Lou Yu nodded emphatically.

Lou Yu, who was watching so intently, almost couldn't hold back. "The first one is called Shen Yuqing, the second one~" Lou Yu said in a rising tone, full of anticipation.

Lampwick: "Also called Shen Yuqing, the third one is also called Shen Yuqing, hahaha." After saying that, he made himself laugh.

Lou Yu: "..."

Tears welled up in the corners of Nan Yu's eyes and dripped down to the corners of her mouth. She sipped them, and they tasted salty. Her laughter stopped abruptly. Lou Yu hadn't cried; the tears he had shed earlier when he called her "husband" were tears he hadn't swallowed back, and they just happened to fall now.

The little lamp wick thought it had gone too far and made someone cry.

I dare not play anymore.

"Don't cry, don't cry. My name isn't Shen Yuqing, it's Nan Yu, Nan as in Nanshan, and Yu as in Baoyu." He cupped Lou Yu's face and kissed her on both cheeks. "Doesn't it sound nice?"

She swallowed back her tears, nodded, and said that as long as she wasn't called Shen Yuqing, any name would sound nice. "May I call you Lampwick?"

Nan Yu was stunned, her eyes widening instantly in horror. "How did you know I was the lamp wick?!"

His reaction startled Lou Yu, who subconsciously wanted to call him "Lampwick." The soul that entered Shen Yuqing's body was...Lampwick? Wouldn't that be a spirit?

Thinking of this, he tightened his arms and held the person firmly.

Now they dared not take people wandering around anymore.

What if he encounters someone powerful who takes him away?

It hurts, the little wick cries.

Lou Yu then loosened her grip, pressed her lips against his soft lips, and said while biting, "From now on, let's not go anywhere else, let's just cultivate here and ascend together, okay?"

Nan Yu: "Huh? I went to the human world last time, and before I even had a chance to explore, those brats broke the barrier."

Now that we've finally got a chance to teach Lou Yu a lesson.

"Thank goodness I made it back in time. How dare you cause trouble on my turf if you're seeking revenge? I often bathe in the Cold Pool; wouldn't it be creepy to have a few corpses in there? Are you trying to get revenge on me as well?"

Lou Yu lowered his eyes, his expression quite dejected, his voice low and fragile: "Besides Han Chi, I don't know where else I can take revenge."

The little wick felt sorry for her: "You can tell me."

"Shen Yuqing doesn't care about me, and you're bullying me too. I'm afraid you won't care about me anymore..."

"Who said I don't care? Didn't I expel those few from the sect?"

Given Lou Yu's qualifications and family background at the time, he would definitely be among the candidates to leave the mountain the following year. Once he left Qingxuan Sect, those wealthy young masters who had been expelled from the sect by their masters would certainly not let him go.

He was consumed by rage.

He believed that Shen Yuqing was going to kill him no matter what.

He jumped off the cliff.

Lou Yu remained silent, and even Xiao Dengxin couldn't bear it anymore.

He kissed her on the lips. "Alright, alright, let's put this behind us. We'll never mention it again. I'll take you treasure hunting. There are so many fun things to do in the world. I'm not kidding."

Lou Yu shook her head in refusal, "You'll be taken away by them."

"Don't worry, I'm very capable. I am the wick of this lamp, but not the wick of this world. In this world, I am Shen Yuqing, my good disciple~"

It is a lamp wick, but not the lamp wick of this world.

One sentence made Lou Yu frown. Combining this with his past suspicions that the other party was doing missions, he seemed to understand something. "Master comes from an advanced civilization? Or from the previous world?"

"No, that's not it. Okay, from now on, we'll be the best of friends in the world."

He reached out and shook Lou Yu's hand, grinning like two little kids.

Nan Yuhuanglou Yu's repeated visits made people feel anxious and uncertain.

Sometimes I act crazy; if I can't see my master for even a second, I feel like it's all just my imagination.

Dengxin stroked the other's head, filled with emotion. He thought back to when he first arrived, this kid was only about 1.6 meters tall, like a bamboo shoot. After a spring rain, he grew taller and taller.

The next day.

Pheasants crowed in the mountains. Xiao Dengxin stretched and snuggled into his arms. After waking up, he moved to the pillow, glanced at Nan Yu, and smiled, "Good morning."
