The cockatiel, still shaken from its near-death experience, screamed, "Mommy! Mommy!"
With a descent, it stumbled and flew toward a figure not far away.
Only then did everyone realize that the scream came from a young woman.
She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a simple white tank top that perfectly accentuated her shapely youthful figure.
She wore light blue high-waisted denim shorts, revealing a pair of straight, slender, and dazzlingly white legs, and white sneakers, exuding youthful energy.
Her long, jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, which made her skin look even whiter than snow, and her features were so exquisite that she looked like a figure from a painting.
Especially her big, watery eyes, which were filled with panic and lingering fear, made her look pitiful and even resembled the popular superstar Fan Shuishui!
"What the hell!"
The blond-haired kid behind Du Zhe gasped first, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets. "This...this girl is way too hot!"
Even Zhou Yang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but be impressed and secretly praised her.
What a beautiful girl with a pure and innocent look, yet also a touch of wildcat charm!
With looks and figure like that, she'd be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
Xu Yao glanced at Zhou Yang discreetly, her lips pursed slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.
Hmph, men, their eyes practically pop out when they see a pretty girl.
The beautiful woman had obviously also noticed the commotion, especially Zhou Yang's astonishing move.
She held the still-shaken cockatiel tightly in her arms and walked over quickly.
Her face still bore the blush of shock and pallor, her large eyes were watery, and her voice was sweet and soft, with a trembling tone of lingering fear.
"Th...thank you so much! Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my little treasure...it might have..."
When she got to the sad parts, her eyes reddened and her voice choked up.
"It was nothing, don't mention it."
Zhou Yang waved his hand, his expression remaining calm, as if he had merely flicked away a fly.
"By the way, my name is Wu Sisi, and I live in this villa area."
The beautiful woman sniffed, trying to calm her excited emotions, and gave Zhou Yang a sincere and grateful smile, with two shallow dimples even appearing on her cheeks.
"Thank you so much for saving my baby!"
She lowered her head and gently stroked the golden feathers of the cockatiel in her arms, speaking softly as if she were coaxing a child.
"Little Bao, be good, quickly thank this great hero who saved you."
What happened next made Du Zhe and the group of energetic young men's eyes widen in disbelief!
The cockatiel actually tilted its fluffy little head and, in a somewhat muffled but unmistakable childish voice, called out to Zhou Yang, "Th...thank you! Thank you, brother!"
Zhou Yang reached out and gently stroked the cockatiel's fluffy little head, a gentle smile on his lips.
"You're welcome, little guy. Remember next time, don't fly around like that."
"Wow! Mr. Zhou, you were so cool just now!"
The blond kid's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "What... just now, a leaf flew into the sky and shot down an eagle? Am I dreaming?"
A group of energetic young men instantly erupted in chaos.
Purple Hair was the first to react. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Zhou Yang, pleading, "Master! Take me as your disciple! I want to learn your divine skills!"
Seeing this, the others didn't care about anything else and all knelt down with a thud, kowtowing and shouting.
"Master, I want to become your apprentice too! Please teach me your secret techniques!"
In an instant, the small garden of the riverside villa area was filled with rainbow-colored heads, creating a scene resembling a large-scale sand sculpture.
Du Zhe was so angry that his face turned green, and he went up and slapped the blond-haired man on the back of the head.
"What are you doing?! Trying to steal my master?! Have you no manners at all?! If you keep causing trouble, believe me, I'll make you go back to school for retraining!"
The group of energetic young men wouldn't listen to reason, clinging to Zhou Yang's legs and refusing to let go.
"We're willing to be Brother Du's junior apprentices. We'll do anything as long as we can learn from you!"
Wu Sisi, holding her cockatiel, was also stunned by what she saw.
She blinked her big, bright eyes and said somewhat shyly, "Um... can I... can I learn from you?"
"You were really amazing just now! I've dreamed of becoming a female knight-errant like those in martial arts novels since I was a child..."
Xu Yao, who had initially found it amusing, now had a subtle change in her expression.
Another beautiful woman has arrived, and she wants to become Zhou Yang's apprentice?
Why are there always these pretty girls around men...?
Looking at the colorful group of "youthful spirits" in front of him, and Wu Sisi with her girlish heart, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile wryly and rub his forehead.
He sighed and shrugged helplessly: "Teaching you is not impossible, but I really don't have that much time to practice with you."
"So, if you have any questions in the future, just ask Du Zhe. He is my last disciple and he will teach you. I will only be responsible for supervising."
"Of course, if you want to be my disciple, you have to be obedient!"
"Okay!"
The blond-haired guy jumped up on the spot in excitement, "From now on, we're brothers! Brother Du will protect us, we'll definitely listen to you!"
Purple Hair immediately added insult to injury, "Yes, yes, we promise to follow the rules. If we dare to misbehave, Master will personally deal with us—"
As he said this, he subconsciously shuddered, clearly still remembering the scene of that leaf slicing through the sky.
Wu Sisi hesitated for two seconds, then nodded earnestly and said, "If possible, I would also like to become Du Zhe's senior brother. Please guide me in the future!"
Xu Yao finally couldn't hold back any longer. She wrapped her arm around Zhou Yang's arm, pulled hard, and muttered something under her breath.
"Well... since everyone else is able to learn it, shouldn't I get to benefit from it too?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, but it carried a hint of jealousy.
Zhou Yang glanced down at her, understood her meaning, and whispered teasingly in her ear.
"Of course, but this 'kung fu' can only be taught privately at night."
Xu Yao's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she punched his chest with her little fists, but still nodded obediently.
...
As night fell, the two returned home.
The soft bedroom lighting accentuated Xu Yao's alluring curves.
She was leaning against the headboard scrolling through her phone when a man suddenly leaned in and pulled her into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing..."
Before Xu Yao could finish her coquettish complaint, her slender waist was grabbed, forcing her to tilt her delicate face up and meet his gaze.
"Besides picking leaves and flying flowers, there are actually many other things you can learn."
Zhou Yang's tone was ambiguous, each word like a flame licking at the heartstrings, "Want to give it a try?"
"Who's afraid of who?"
The girl tried to remain calm, but her breathing was already disordered.
Her almond-shaped eyes welled up with tears, and before she could react, her chin was grabbed—
The next second their lips met, like flames devouring ice and snow!
In the midst of their conquest and territorial expansion, she was utterly defeated, leaving only faint gasps and shy moans echoing in every corner of the room...
In the hazy night, their shadows intertwined, inseparable.
