“Achoo, achoo.”
Under the moonlight, Zhou You sneezed incessantly.
Zhou Chen quickly ended her Cultivation, “Second Master, did you catch a cold?”
“I never get sick.”
Zhou You’s eyes flickered, “I guess some little vixen is thinking of me.”
Zhou Chen giggled, “Is it Second Mistress?”
Zhou You tilted his head, looking at the dim moon in the night sky, “It must be. She must be waiting for me somewhere, hoping I can find her and give her a warm hug.”
Zhou Chen couldn't stop laughing.
If her grandfather was majestic, then her Second Master was even more interesting than his peers and would spoil her.
This feeling was particularly comfortable.
“Let me tell you.”
Zhou You shifted his butt, and Zhou Chen also leaned her ear closer. “My trip down the mountain this time is to marry seven or eight Second Mistresses for you.”
Zhou Chen was surprised, “Seven or eight? Then what should I call them?”
Zhou You paused, “What?”
Zhou Chen spread her Left Hand, “Look, I call you Second Master, and your first wife, I call her Second Mistress, right?”
Zhou You nodded heavily, “Naturally.”
Zhou Chen continued, “Then what should I call your second wife?”
Zhou You laughed, “Of course, Third Mistress.”
Zhou Chen said, “If she’s Third Mistress, shouldn’t she be Third Master’s wife? If I had a Third Master.”
Zhou You sat up straight, his expression much more serious. “Little Second Mistress?”
Zhou Chen asked again, “But if you marry three, can the second one still be called Little Second Mistress?”
“Cough.”
Zhou You sat up even straighter. His already limited brain completely stopped functioning at this moment.
Zhou Chen tilted her head, looking at Zhou You who was close at hand, “Second Master, what should I call them?”
Zhou You was silent, clasping his hands together.
From a feeling perspective, this question wasn't important.
But why was it so irritating?
Yes, what should they be called?
“Careless.”
After a long while, Zhou You raised his hand and pushed away Zhou Chen’s small Face. “I was careless about this.”
Zhou Chen whispered, “Second Master, if you’re hungry, just call me. I’ll roast lamb legs for you. We got a lot of ingredients from that wave during the day.”
Zhou You sighed, “If I had children, they would definitely have to be as filial to me as you are.”
This feeling was truly wonderful.
Obedient and filial.
Most importantly, he didn't need to raise her himself!
Zhou Chen playfully stuck out her tongue, retreated to Li Wanji’s side, and sat quietly to Cultivate.
Under a shadow, Xiao Jing’s eyelids lifted slightly. He had naturally heard that conversation. He hadn't thought much of it before, but now he suddenly realized that the relationship between these two seemed different from what they had imagined.
Second Master?
After all that, these two are relatives?
“If he’s a true Second Master, then his age must be older than he looks.”
Xiao Jing thought to himself, “If he’s a distant elder, then it’s different.”
At this moment, Zhou You lay quietly on the grass, his hands clasped behind his head.
He was wondering if Master missed him?
He had gone down the mountain, so it must be very lonely on the mountain, right?
There was no one to talk to him.
“Hmph, I have to teach him a lesson and let him know how lonely it is without me.”
Zhou You’s lips curled up, “When I’ve had enough fun, I’ll bring him a few old women to keep him company. I’ll pay the betrothal gifts for him; it’s the least I can do as his disciple.”
Or…
Zhou You’s mood was joyful, “Didn’t he fall in love at first sight with an old woman from the Moon Emperor Sect when he was young? I’ll find a rope later, tie her up directly, and bring her back to him.”
Moon Emperor Sect…
I heard there are countless beauties.
Every one of them young and beautiful, and coupled with the Cultivation Technique they Cultivate, it's simply peerless in the world.
“Suddenly, I want to go to the Moon Emperor Sect.”
Zhou You’s mind became active, “When I Breakthrough to the Tuotai Realm… no, it has to be the Spirit Connection Realm, and then see what my Blood Spirit is. That way, I’ll have Face, won’t I? The old fellow cultivated me for so many years; I can’t let him lose Face.”
The night passed peacefully.
By dawn, the old dog got up, yelping and barking.
Li Wanji also barely gained the ability to move, but her Face was still pale.
Seeing Zhou You continue to look in the direction of One-Blade Gorge, Xiao Jing couldn’t help but speak first, “Zhou Gongzi, how about I accompany you to One-Blade Gorge? They can stay here. After we finish our business, we’ll come back for them?”
Zhou You’s eyes flickered, and he agreed with this point.
The old dog’s injuries were not very serious, but if they truly fought, it might have an impact.
Li Wanji had become a burden on this trip and absolutely could not continue forward.
Zhou You nodded, “Alright, Xiao Chen, you stay here and take care of them. We’ll be back very soon.”
Zhou Chen said worriedly, “Then Second Master, you must be careful.”
Li Wanji said anxiously, “How can you go by yourself? How will you protect yourself without Xiao Chen?”
Upon hearing this, the old dog and Xiao Jing both looked at Li Wanji.
This was strange.
A little girl in the Tuotai Realm protecting the highly esteemed Zhou Gongzi?
Could she have injured her brain?
Zhou You laughed, “It’s settled then. Old dog, take it easy. Xiao Jing and I will rush back as soon as we confirm the matter of the Sand Dagger.”
The old dog nodded heavily, “Don’t worry, with me here, there will be no accidents.”
As he spoke, he gave Xiao Jing a look.
The meaning was self-evident: if the situation was bad, run quickly; don't rush in foolishly.
Xiao Jing nodded imperceptibly, and immediately quickened his pace with Zhou You, heading forward.
With only two of them traveling, the speed was much faster.
Furthermore, they intentionally avoided the jungle areas where Yao Beasts were entrenched, reaching a canyon in less than half an hour.
The canyon was a hundred li long, and from their position, they could indeed see some cave entrances on one side of the canyon.
One-Blade Gorge, Thirty-Six Caves.
This was the home address of that big white dog.
Zhou You wasn't going to visit relatives, so he naturally didn't care where the Thirty-Six Caves were. His current goal was to absorb the earth dog's essence blood and then find the Sand Dagger.
In an instant, Zhou You collected his thoughts and sensed the situation within the canyon.
“So many.”
Zhou You chuckled, “Third and fourth-grade Yao Beasts are everywhere, there are over a dozen fifth-grade ones, and sixth-grade… Oh, there’s also one whose aura is very deeply hidden. Could it be a seventh-grade?”
Xiao Jing’s expression tightened, and he occasionally looked around.
The only question he still hadn't figured out was where Zhou You’s Dao protector was hiding?
Why couldn't he ever find him?
Zhou You took out the demon slayer token with his Left Hand and gripped it tightly against the scabbard.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but become a little more nervous, “Should we make a plan? We can’t just rush in here.”
Zhou You looked at Xiao Jing, “A man can have nothing, but he must have courage. Because that is a quality we men must protect with our lives in this lifetime.”
Xiao Jing immediately straightened his back.
Zhou You looked down, “How can one obtain the Sand Dagger without entering the dog’s lair? Young man, you are still too young.”
