On his journey, Huo Feng chose to fly along routes with few people around him, not daring to fly over towns of cultivators or places where humans gathered, lest he be ambushed.
Of course, Ji Yun didn't mind this. He didn't want to cause trouble. He could talk to some Nascent Soul cultivators, but he couldn't handle some Nascent Soul experts.
Ji Yun patted Fire Phoenix on the back: "Fire Phoenix, do you have a name?"
"No, I've always been a loner and have never had a name."
Fire Phoenix speaks with a neutral voice, making it impossible to tell whether it is male or female.
Of course, Ji Yun wouldn't bother to observe you specifically. After thinking for a moment, he said, "From now on, I'll call you Little Fire."
The fire phoenix looked slightly confused. Did it now have a name? It asked, "Can I be called Ji Huo?"
"No way!" Ji Yun refused.
"Why? Isn't it better to share the same last name as you?"
"Your mother doesn't agree."
"???"
Realizing what was happening, Yuexi asked angrily, "What do you mean?"
Ji Yun pretended to be nonchalant, his eyes darting around: "Little Fire flies pretty fast. At this speed, Yuexi, how long do you think it will take to get back to the sect?"
Yuexi stared at him, then decided to let it go and not argue with him. Who would have a child with him anyway? This guy was talking nonsense.
"It will take about fifteen minutes to get back. We are currently in the northern wilderness, about five hundred miles away from our sect."
Ji Yun nodded. It would take so long. Fortunately, the Fire Phoenix's back was wide and there were feathers underneath, so it wasn't too uncomfortable to sit on.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly touched his head, saying weakly, "Yuexi, my head hurts a bit. You know, my constitution isn't as good as yours. Flying at such a high speed, and I'm afraid of heights, I'm really scared. Now my head is splitting, it's so uncomfortable."
“Then I’ll use my spiritual power to help you.” Yuexi said with a worried expression.
"No need, just lie down and rest."
Ji Yun quickly shifted, preparing to find a comfortable position to lie down.
"Okay, then lie down for a bit... What are you doing?"
Yuexi used her hand to push Ji Yun's head back. She realized that this person was going too far, wanting to lie on top of her.
Ji Yun said softly, "I don't have anything to lie on, Yuexi, can I borrow your legs to lie down for a bit?"
"No, you shouldn't lie down." Yuexi refused decisively.
"Oh dear, my head hurts so much. It's so hard for Yuexi to have a mount. I can't even make a small request. I'm so sad."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This won't do... We're just ordinary... fellow Daoists..."
Yuexi felt a little guilty. He was still just a mortal, and Gao should be afraid of him.
Ji Yun said, "What's wrong with an ordinary fellow Daoist borrowing my leg as a pillow? We're innocent and haven't done anything wrong."
"Does this mean I'm completely innocent?"
"Of course! Look, we didn't do anything. You just helped me overcome my fear of heights. Besides, I'm your master. As your disciple... isn't that what you should do?"
Yuexi looked troubled and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Then you can only lie down for a while, just this once."
“Okay, I promise this is the last time.” Ji Yun immediately agreed.
Having already experienced it once, the second time shouldn't be too difficult.
For example, when a man and woman are together, phrases like "I'll just hug you, I won't do anything," "I'll just kiss you," "Don't worry, I'll just touch you," "I won't move around," "I'll just rub against you, I won't go inside," "Who knows if this child is mine," and "Let's break up, we're not compatible" are used.
Comfortably leaning against Yuexi's thigh, inhaling the delicate fragrance, he felt content and closed his eyes to doze off for a while.
Yuexi asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Ji Yun searched for a long time but couldn't find Yue Xi's little hand.
"Much better... Where are your hands? Don't put them behind your back."
Yuexi gently patted his hand, "You... don't do anything reckless. I'll throw you down from that height. Think about the consequences."
Ji Yun grabbed that fair and delicate little hand and placed it on her chest.
"I won't let go even if you throw it down."
"Don't push your luck." Yuexi looked down at him.
Ji Yun closed her eyes, avoiding eye contact with her.
"Huff huff..."
Yuexi was so angry at his shameless behavior that she almost laughed. Looking at him pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, he... seemed quite satisfied.
Fire Phoenix was quite agitated. "I'm working hard without complaint, and you guys are all lovey-dovey up there. This is just too much!"
It pretended to encounter a strong gust of wind and swayed from side to side.
Ji Yun quickly gripped the small hand tightly and called out, "Xiao Huo, be more careful. Can't you see someone is resting?"
Fire Phoenix chirped and said, "I'm sorry, I encountered a strong wind just now and wasn't paying attention. Plus, my injuries haven't healed yet, so I couldn't keep my balance."
"Once we reach Lingyun Sect, I'll give you some pills to help you recover. For now, just focus on flying."
Hearing Ji Yun's words, it felt relieved, knowing that there would be medicine and a place to heal its wounds when it got back.
They flew for half an hour like this. If they hadn't taken the detour, they could have saved a lot of time, but Ji Yun and the other person weren't in a hurry at all.
"Stop pinching me, you're really going too far." Yuexi squeezed his fidgeting hand tightly, stopping him from continuing his antics.
"Okay, okay, I won't pinch anymore, it's my fault." Ji Yun sincerely admitted his mistake.
He didn't dare turn his head around, lest he anger her and she throw him down, which would be troublesome. After all, one must eat one bite at a time and take off one piece of clothing at a time.
He didn't dare to look up; it was quite a sight, and he was afraid of upsetting her.
After flying over a river, several mountain peaks could be clearly seen rising high in the distance.
Yuexi said softly, "We're almost there. Get up first, so no one can see us."
Ji Yun didn't take it seriously: "So what if I saw it? Anyone who dares to gossip about me, I'll make sure they pay."
"Heh, then if you need anything in the future, just handle it yourself and don't come to me."
"If I don't look for you, who will I look for? Are you still my apprentice?"
"It's been lifted. Now you are my apprentice."
"..." Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting about this. He hurriedly said, "We have a gentleman's agreement, you can't go back on your word."
"Really? I didn't know that." Yuexi looked up at the sky.
Ji Yun's eyes widened: "Wow, I never knew you were such a fairy!"
"I learned it from you."
"......"
Ji Yun stood up, and he and Yue Xi stood on the back of the fire phoenix.
When the Lingyun Sect's gatekeepers saw two people riding a demonic beast in the distance, they quickly used a communication talisman to report the news.
Before long, the sect leader arrived at the sect gate. He used his divine sense to probe and breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering the newcomer.
After landing, Ji Yun smiled and said, "Master Guo, you've come all this way to welcome me."
Guo Feng bowed and said, "Senior Ji, where did you all go? During the assessment, they said you disappeared after you went in. It caused quite a stir at the time, but thankfully nothing happened."
