Chapter Index
    “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault! It must be because I took the demon pill that Moonlight Immortal gave me that this happened!” Sui Chunsheng said anxiously.

    Yue Shanglan exclaimed, “Ah! It’s because he ate those two fire-element demon pills!”

    Tan Zhui, standing to the side, said, “What kind of things do you bring every day? Don’t give them to my disciple anymore.”

    Yue Shanglan replied, “I was just trying to be kind!”

    Before the few could argue, they had already arrived at the point where the fire started.

    They saw that Wugen’s whole body was spitting fire, but fortunately, his body was made of the floating wood that Tan Zhui had personally forged, so he wasn’t too badly affected.

    It was just that his hair was burnt off, and he was vomiting flames from his mouth.

    Tan Zhui quickly waved his sleeve, drawing in the nearby river water to extinguish the flames.

    After waiting for a while, the fire on Wugen’s body finally went out.

    But in an instant, thick smoke started billowing out again, causing the three of them to cough incessantly.

    Then, in the midst of the smoke, the wood on Wugen’s body began to crack, making a series of sounds.

    It was like molting, and beneath that bark, pure white skin was revealed.

    The three of them were stunned in place; this elm wood had actually transformed into human form.

    Tan Zhui was quick-witted and used magic to clothe him.

    Wugen stood there somewhat bewildered, choking on the smoke.

    He slowly opened his mouth, still speaking in his wooden voice.

    Sui Chunsheng cast two cleansing spells, allowing the three of them to see Wugen’s appearance clearly.

    He was a charming-faced young boy, like an innocent celestial child newly arrived in the mortal realm.

    Yue Shanglan was immediately mesmerized, “Little Wooden Head, you…”

    Tan Zhui glanced at him, immediately isolating him, not letting him even touch Wugen.

    Yue Shanglan was puzzled, “Why are you protecting Little Wooden Head like that? I’m not a bad person.”

    Tan Zhui raised an eyebrow, clearly showing he didn’t believe him.

    Sui Chunsheng went over and asked many questions, confirming that Wugen was alright and felt no discomfort, before finally feeling relieved.

    Wugen unexpectedly turned into a human, almost burning down Fangcun Mountain.

    But it could also be considered a blessing in disguise.

    Tan Zhui softly said, “Since that’s the case, Ah Sheng, teach Wugen to speak human language. You are the most skilled in wooden language.”

    Sui Chunsheng nodded, “I can also teach older brother sword techniques and mental cultivation methods.”

    Yue Shanglan quickly pushed forward, “Me too, me too.”

    “Ah Zhui, you definitely don’t have time to take care of Little Wooden Head, how about he becomes my disciple instead?”

    Sui Chunsheng glanced at him and whispered into his ear, “If you have any improper thoughts about my older brother, Master will castrate you and throw you down to the lower realm to be a male prostitute.”

    Yue Shanglan quickly said, “I don’t have any bad intentions!”

    Sui Chunsheng looked him up and down, clearly not believing him.

    The young man gave him a warning glare, then looked towards his master.

    A figure in moonlight had already walked far away, his sleeves still stained with blood.

    Sui Chunsheng quickly said, “Older brother, go back first. Master is injured. I need to go apply medicine for him.”

    Wugen nodded, “Go on, you brat.”

    Sui Chunsheng followed behind Tan Zhui, arriving at Water Residence.

    The door to Water Residence was not closed. Sui Chunsheng was just about to step into the room when he saw a scene.

    The young man’s face instantly turned red. Master was actually changing his clothes.

    Normally, if his clothes got dirty, he would mostly use magic to change. Who would have thought that he would accidentally catch the White Deer Immortal changing his clothes himself this time?

    Stepping through the door, he had seen it all.

    If Sui Chunsheng’s eyes weren’t currently impaired, he would have probably been able to see every inch of the changes in the person’s complexion in detail.

    Tan Zhui immediately noticed him and said with a dark face, “Get out.”

    Sui Chunsheng immediately regained his senses and hurriedly rolled out.

    After a long while, Tan Zhui, fully dressed, pushed open the door.

    The White Deer Immortal said with a cold face, “It’s getting late. Did you come to find me, teacher, for something?”

    Sui Chunsheng handed over the healing medicine, “I came to bring medicine for Master.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the moment their eyes met, a hot stream flowed from under the young man’s nose.

    Tan Zhui’s eyes trembled, “You…”

    Sui Chunsheng frantically wiped at it, his entire face flushed red. He wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

    Tan Zhui subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, but the young man didn’t dare to take it. After roughly shoving the healing medicine into his hands, he ran away without looking back.

    The White Deer Immortal looked at the young man’s fleeing figure, “…”

    He lowered his head to look at the injury on his wrist. In the past, this kind of superficial wound would have probably healed on its own without any medicine, but it seemed that it wouldn’t this time.

    He concealed his disappointment and closed the door to Water Residence.

    Several days later.

    Ever since he had a nosebleed in front of his master, the Little Immortal of the Hibiscus had been holed up at Duan Xiao Peak for several days.

    It wasn’t until the day of training in the demon realm was approaching that Tan Zhui called him over, wanting to give him some instructions.

    Tan Zhui handed him a cup of Dianchun Branch and moved the pastries on the side closer to him.

    “Are you nervous?”

    Sui Chunsheng was startled for a moment, then realized that his master was asking about the training in the demon realm. He quickly said, “Not nervous.”

    It’s just, I’m already starting to miss Master.

    Tan Zhui noticed his disappointment, and said softly, “What’s wrong, do you have something on your mind?”

    Sui Chunsheng shook his head, “I’m just wondering, what kind of spirit beasts I’ll encounter.”

    Tan Zhui took out two scrolls and said somewhat sternly, “The reason I called you here is because of this. This is this year’s list of spirit beasts. I’ve marked their weaknesses and personalities on them. Remember them. It will be helpful for your training later.”

    At first, Sui Chunsheng listened attentively, but later, he was drawn to the White Deer Immortal’s lips, which were stained with tea, appearing somewhat alluring.

    As he spoke, he revealed his snowy white teeth.

    The White Deer Immortal’s beautiful neck trembled slightly.

    He couldn’t help but remember that day in bed, when the other person trembled, when his head was lifted, the beautiful curve.

    And, the way he had left his marks on him.

    In that moment, the young man lost his focus.

    His gaze became bolder, falling on the White Deer Immortal’s back of his hand, cheek, earlobe, collarbone, slowly descending down, observing the places he had explored, where he had left his kisses.

    Tan Zhui noticed that his beloved disciple was somewhat distracted. The moment he looked up, he noticed the young man’s burning gaze and flushed cheeks.

    Tan Zhui said, “Are you feeling unwell?”

    Subconsciously, the White Deer Immortal stretched out the back of his hand and placed it on the young man’s forehead.

    It was indeed a bit hot.

    Tan Zhui said, “Ah Sheng, you have a fever.”

    Sui Chunsheng’s heart was guilty, and he didn’t refute it.

    Sui Chunsheng said, “Maybe I caught a cold.”

    Tan Zhui withdrew his hand, “It’s been cold lately, be careful to wear more clothes.”

    The young man mumbled an “en.”

    Tan Zhui met his gaze, and in the next moment, his pupils shrank slightly.

    The Little Hibiscus Immortal also sensed something was wrong. The familiar hot stream surged.

    He quickly covered his nose, left behind a sentence, “I’m going back first!”

    And then he fled, not daring to look back.

    Tan Zhui blinked his eyes, simply saying, “It seems he’s a little overheated.”

    The little wooden figure on the side swayed over to refill his tea, looking rather foolish.

    This was a little wooden figure that the White Deer Immortal had made in his spare time these past few days. It didn’t have much intelligence and was meant to take over from Wugen in managing matters on Fangcun Mountain.

    He no longer had the ability to make another Wugen, so he could only make some clumsy wooden lumps.

    Tan Zhui sorted out the cooling pills, placing them in the little wooden figure’s hands, and instructed, “Take these to Duan Xiao Peak, give them to the Little Hibiscus Immortal.”

    The wooden figure understood and, holding the medicine bottle, ran toward the door. As expected, he bumped into the door frame. In the end, Tan Zhui had to use magic to push him out so that he wouldn’t fall out.

    The wooden figure, after being helped up, shook its head and quickly ran towards Duan Xiao Peak.

    Duan Xiao Peak.

    The young man had another nosebleed, he truly couldn’t show his face to anyone.

    He frustratingly buried his head in his pillow, truly wishing he could suffocate himself to death.

    The young man, annoyed, let out a donkey-like cry and punched the pillow twice in anger.

    The innocent pillow was eventually thrown into the corner by the young man.

    Time passed quickly, and it was already time to go to the demon realm for training.

    Tan Zhui had prepared some things for Sui Chunsheng in advance, stuffing them all into his sword’s inner space before feeling at ease.

    He was not suitable to accompany him for two reasons: First, elders weren’t appropriate to go, and second, he didn’t have much divine power at the moment, so he wouldn’t be able to help even if he went.

    Yue Shanglan said, “Don’t worry, Little Chunsheng is the most outstanding among the younger generation. He will definitely subdue a divine-level spirit beast.”

    Tan Zhui said softly, “Just be safe and sound.”

    The immortals stood in front of the Sky Mirror, watching the disciples depart one after another.

    Sui Chunsheng looked back at his master one last time, before being dragged away by Yong Lan to depart.

    Tan Zhui watched the young man disappear before his eyes, instantly reappearing within the Sky Mirror.

    The disciples had already arrived in the demon realm one after another. The elders of the demon clan were already waiting for them.

    Tan Zhui saw a familiar face in front of the mirror.

    Yu Xiao Die was visibly surprised when she saw Sui Chunsheng, and then she quickly stepped forward and said, “Eh? Where’s your master?”

    Sui Chunsheng raised his eyes, “This is disciple training, how could I bring my master?”

    Yu Xiao Die nodded, “That’s true.”

    Sui Chunsheng took out the transmission bell and shook it twice, “Master, Master.”

    A voice came from the bell, “Hmm.”

    Yu Xiao Die immediately laughed, “Aren’t you also bringing your master along?”

    Sui Chunsheng did not take it to heart, “Every disciple has one.”

    Yong Lan put his arm around his shoulder, “Little Immortal, we won’t be holding on to this bell all the time.”

    He glanced at Yu Xiao Die.

    “You two know each other?”

    Sui Chunsheng, “Not familiar.”

    Yu Xiao Die immediately protested, “We’ve clearly shared drinks together before.”

    She saw something different in the young man’s expression, so she leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Why are you pouting? Did you break up with your master?”

    Sui Chunsheng’s eyes widened, as if asking how she knew.

    Yu Xiao Die rolled her eyes at him. The way you’re acting now, it’s obvious you two broke up.

    “What a failure. I even wrote a story about you two. I was planning on sending a wedding gift.”
