SQLJBFDTW Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Dharma Appearance [Three Chapters Combined into One]

Chao Jianxue then recalled that a long time ago, Yu Wei had mentioned the matter of Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance to him. In short, the Nascent Soul is the first Dharma Appearance cultivated by a cultivator, the true self in their heart, a miniature version of themselves.

A Dharma Appearance has form, so it can naturally be manifested outside the body, allowing the original body to recuperate.

But Yu Wei had seen his Nascent Soul’s appearance, while Chao Jianxue had never seen Yu Wei’s Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance.

Chao Jianxue looked at his hands and feet, at the lack of power, and felt frustrated.

He was currently being held by Yu Wei with one hand, sitting in the crook of his arm, feeling like a small figurine, only wrapped in a square cloth, which he could barely consider clothing.

The height of the furniture now seemed like an insurmountable chasm to him. Yu Wei placed him on the bed, which felt like an endlessly wide terrain, the undulating quilt beneath his feet especially prone to tripping him.

Chao Jianxue ran to sit on the pillow. Yu Wei listened to the morning bell outside, his brow furrowing slightly: “Yesterday, the elders approved of Senior Brother’s sick leave, but today I have to go lecture.”

Chao Jianxue couldn’t wait for him to leave quickly. In this situation, such a giant looming before him filled him with terror.

Yu Wei thought for a moment, then said, “I’ll leave a wisp of my primordial spirit here. Didn’t Senior Brother want to see my Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance?”

Hearing him say this, Chao Jianxue’s eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded.

Leaving a wisp of his primordial spirit here would allow him to know immediately if Chao Jianxue needed to call him, enabling him to teleport over directly.

The door was gently closed, and the window was also considerately shut by Yu Wei, as if afraid he would be blown away.

Chao Jianxue remained seated on the pillow, face to face with Yu Wei’s Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance of the same size.

Yu Wei seemed somewhat shy at being stared at, turning his face away, a flush rising on his cheeks.

Because Yu Wei had intentionally manifested it, the clothes on the Dharma Appearance were intact, layered with moon-white brocade and light azure outer robes.

His face was rounder than the original, looking much more pinchable, and even when feigning seriousness, he looked extremely adorable.

Chao Jianxue waved to him, and Yu Wei stood up, stepping over the undulating quilt that resembled hills, and walked in front of him: “Senior Brother…”

Chao Jianxue pointed to the azure robe on him: “Give me that to wear.” Otherwise, he would be stuck wearing only a towel, which was rather embarrassing.

And so, the two little people exchanged clothing by the pillow. Chao Jianxue, having clothing to cover himself, felt much more at ease. He curiously pinched Yu Wei’s face, which felt wonderful to the touch.

Red clouds floated again on Yu Wei’s round face, his tone still uniquely gentle: “Senior Brother, please don’t pinch.”

He thought this appearance was too soft, and he had lost his image in front of Senior Brother, so he was quite anxious.

Chao Jianxue asked, “If I pinch you, can your real body feel it?”

“The primordial spirit is one entity, so it can.”

“Oh…” Chao Jianxue had a wicked thought.

Yu Wei was currently lecturing as the representative of the disciples, so if he did something bad here, would Yu Wei feel it over there?

Yu Wei saw the mischievous smile barely concealed in his eyes, and stood up, taking a few steps back: “Senior Brother, you…” He hesitated.

Chao Jianxue was naturally just indulging in wicked fantasies and wouldn’t actually do such a thing.

He stood up, shook the wrinkles from his clothing, mobilized his spiritual power, and floated down to the table. He picked up a half-person-high teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then invited Yu Wei to come up and drink as well.

An ordinary teacup now seemed like a water tank in comparison to the two of them, containing enough water to drink for several days.

There was nothing suitable nearby to pass the time, so the two of them sat down and dipped water to draw a chessboard on the table, beginning a game of chess.

But this wasn’t an ordinary game of chess. At Chao Jianxue’s insistence, they drew a tic-tac-toe grid—because he would naturally lose at any other kind of chess against Yu Wei, who was a young master, so tic-tac-toe was the fairest.

There happened to be rice paper on the table, so they agreed that whoever lost would tear off a strip, wet it, and stick it on their face.

Chao Jianxue might not have thought of doing this to the real Yu Wei, but the tiny Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance made his mischievous impulses stir.

Yu Wei lost. Chao Jianxue laughed and stuck a strip of paper on his forehead, finding him more and more adorable, a pink-cheeked, exquisitely carved little figure.

After his initial shyness, Yu Wei had calmed down. He pressed down the white paper strip on his forehead and looked at Chao Jianxue, who was also covered in strips, a pair of smiling eyes peeking out from between the strips.

If such days could continue, it would be wonderful if they could hide in the world in this form, Yu Wei thought.

Small, holding hands, nestled close to each other, the wider the world, the closer they became.

Chao Jianxue waved his hand at him: “Snap out of it, it’s your turn.”

Yu Wei blinked his eyes, lowered his head to look at the chessboard. No matter where he moved, it would be a losing game. His distraction just now had led him to make a mistake.

He willingly gave up: “I lost.”

Chao Jianxue stood up with a smile, stepped over the tic-tac-toe grid, and said, “There’s no more room on your face, I’m going to stick it on your body!”

He reached out a hand he had long wanted to use and tugged at him. Finally, he successfully stuck a strip of paper under the torn-open collar of his robe. Yu Wei revealed half of his collarbone, then raised his hand to cover it, his tone slightly chiding: “Senior Brother, don’t go too far.”

Chao Jianxue’s playfulness was fully aroused, and he hugged him for another round of tugging, until the two of them rolled onto the table, where he was pinned down by Yu Wei.

Yu Wei reached out and grabbed the strips of paper off each other’s faces. Chao Jianxue thought he was angry and restrained himself: “Okay, okay, I was wrong, let me up.”

Yu Wei naturally didn’t let him go so easily. He imitated his actions, reaching out a hand and lightly hooking. Chao Jianxue’s outer robe fell open.

Outer robes were naturally not as tightly worn as inner robes, only fastened with a tie. Chao Jianxue’s face immediately grew hot, feeling that he was being stared at nakedly by Yu Wei, wearing only a towel underneath, which was no different from being naked.

Yu Wei stared at his chest with a frown, as if racking his brains about where to bite.

Chao Jianxue’s spiritual power was insufficient at this time, unable to resist, and his eyelashes trembled non-stop.

Yu Wei suddenly beckoned, and a tea leaf from the tea water flew into his hand, like a large feather.

He lightly flicked it, and the water droplets on the tea leaf scattered on Chao Jianxue’s chest and abdomen. He shivered from the coolness, feeling a little afraid: “Little Martial Brother, what are you going to do…”

Touching Yu Wei’s focused, scrutinizing gaze, Chao Jianxue couldn’t help biting his lower lip, feeling that this gaze was very desirous. When their eyes met, he felt like he was going to burn up.

But they were clearly Nascent Soul Dharma Appearances now. How could he see desire in that extremely cute face? Chao Jianxue covered his eyes, wondering if he was having impure thoughts.

A coolness came from his chest. Chao Jianxue groaned and opened his eyes. Yu Wei had stuck the tea leaf on his chest, retaliating for sticking the paper strip on his collarbone?

But the coolness instantly turned into heat. Under the attack of cold and heat, he couldn’t help arching his back and letting out a low pant.

“Senior Brother looks really cute like this.”

Hearing these words, Chao Jianxue’s cheeks flushed. He opened one eye, thinking, Good for you, Yu Wei. He clamped his legs around Yu Wei’s waist, flipping him over, and then the two of them reversed positions, with him sitting on top of Yu Wei, firmly holding down his hands.

Yu Wei opened his innocent eyes to look up at him, watery and innocent, blinking.

There was no struggle at all.

Chao Jianxue said fiercely: “Didn’t you say you’re lecturing right now!”

Yu Wei said: “I am. Half of my primordial spirit is lecturing, and half of my primordial spirit is here keeping Senior Brother company.”

The corners of his lips were slightly upturned as he spoke, clearly showing mischievous intentions, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Chao Jianxue leaned down slightly, making as if to kiss him. But just as Yu Wei focused on the approaching lips, he deliberately didn’t fulfill his wish and raised his head.

“Hmph,” he patted Yu Wei’s face triumphantly, “I don’t want to kiss a kid.”

But he was also a kid right now.

Yu Wei’s eyes darkened slightly. He suddenly made a move, replicating Chao Jianxue’s earlier actions and reversing the attack once again.

This time, Chao Jianxue was lying on the tic-tac-toe grid he had drawn earlier, his back soaked.

He reached out to wipe it, and their chessboard all turned into water stains.

Yu Wei’s hair was also messed up from the rolling, strands falling on Chao Jianxue’s neck, tickling and cool. But he guessed his hair wasn’t neat either.

Indeed, at this time, Chao Jianxue’s long hair was spread out in Yu Wei’s sight, like a flowing river of ink, on the riverbed lay a rare treasure, a beautiful woman separated by clouds.

Yu Wei suddenly remembered the scene he had seen in his room at the Tianyao Sect, the abused red marks, the turbid white representing pleasure.

What kind of emotion did such violent desire require?

In comparison, he only wanted to gently kiss Senior Brother now.

Chao Jianxue waited for a long time with his eyes closed, but didn’t feel Yu Wei kissing him. He unhappily tugged at his sleeve.

But Yu Wei said: “I’ve checked these past few days. Tan Zhou is the Tianyao Sect Leader’s adopted son, but there are rumors of an illegitimate child. He only appeared openly in the Tianyao Sect ten years ago, and after Mo Zezhi fell into a slump, he replaced him as the Young Sect Leader and quickly became the Sect Leader’s chief disciple.”

Why was this person suddenly talking seriously?

Chao Jianxue didn’t understand.

But he thought about it and said, “That’s normal. The original son is useless, so even if he’s an illegitimate child, they have to push him out.”

Yu Wei said seriously: “But Tan Zhou isn’t a good person. Senior Brother shouldn’t get close to him in the future.”

“Huh? The last few times we met, he was very polite and quite similar to you…” Chao Jianxue was suspicious.

Yu Wei frowned unhappily: “I’m not like him. He…”

He had originally wanted to tell Senior Brother what he had seen, but after thinking about it, Yu Wei ultimately decided not to say it.

That scene was too filthy, and Senior Brother shouldn’t know such dirty things.

Chao Jianxue “haha”ed and said: “Alright, on closer inspection, he’s really not like you. Little Martial Brother is better looking and more considerate than him.”

Yu Wei smiled, instantly making the sunlight seem warm.

“There’s also news that Tan Zhou was often bullied by Mo Zezhi before his identity was clear. Their relationship must not be good.”

Chao Jianxue pondered: “You mean he won’t come looking for me to take revenge for Mo Zezhi?”

“That’s probably the case.”

“Then last time in the valley, wasn’t he seeking medicine for his elder brother?”

Yu Wei shook his head: “The specific details are unclear, but he’s the Young Sect Leader now, so if he was just putting on a show for the sect, it’s understandable.”

Chao Jianxue understood vaguely. He wasn’t familiar with the twists and turns of these large families.

He grasped a strand of Yu Wei’s hair that was hanging down, wound it around his fingers a couple of times, pulled him down, and blinked his eyes at him hopefully.

Yu Wei’s originally calmed down thoughts were provoked and became restless. The real body far away in the lecture hall coughed lightly, causing the disciples below the stage to feel somewhat strange.

Why did Little Martial Brother Yu seem absent-minded today, pausing from time to time? Was he unwell?

Yu Wei covered his mouth with his sleeve and took a sip of tea. He was already wrapping up what he had said today.

In the deep valley, a bell suddenly broke through the swirling snow, echoing in the various rooms of the separate residence, even shaking the window lattices.

The tea in Yu Wei’s cup also shook violently.

The disciples stood up, uncertain and surprised.

Then they heard an elder walk in and say loudly, “There’s a demon invasion! Those above the Golden Core realm, come out and guard the gate with me!”

Senior Brother!

Yu Wei walked quickly in the direction of the guest house, but was stopped by the elder, who said, “Don’t go. The demons are gathering in the direction of the guest house. Come with me to reinforce the formation!”

–

The sound of water in the hot spring stopped at some point. Chao Jianxue looked out through the crack. The world outside the window was dim. The falling snowflakes had become scattered ashes, covering the sky and obscuring the light.

Just now, when he was feeling emotionally stirred, Yu Wei had suddenly pulled him up and flew into the cabinet without explanation, gesturing for him to be silent.

The cabinet door slammed shut, and the sky changed instantly.

A fishy smell spread through the air, not the smell of blood, but the cold, fishy smell of something that had not seen the light of day for a long time crawling out of the darkness.

At Yu Wei’s signal, Chao Jianxue held his breath and stopped the flow of spiritual power. Fortunately, the two of them were small, and it wasn’t too cramped to be crammed in the cabinet. But there was a bronze bottle behind him, which felt particularly cold against his back.

Yu Wei whispered in his ear, “Demons have invaded. It’s chaos outside. I can’t come over for the time being. We have to find a way to get out.”

Having split half of his primordial spirit, Yu Wei couldn’t exert his full strength. Chao Jianxue was also injured, and even his main body was recuperating.

Gradually, the fishy stench became stronger. Chao Jianxue heard the sound of water dripping on the ground in the unusual silence.

Something crawled in along the walls of the corridor, searching for the aura of living people.

Chao Jianxue leaned back, his breath covered by Yu Wei’s palm pressing against his mouth and nose.

In an instant, Yu Wei concealed the spiritual fluctuations of the two of them, his clear eyes staring unblinkingly out through the crack.

What broke into their room was a demon of substantial blackness.

Lying on all fours, with a twisted and enormous body, it hugged the ground, as if looking for something.

Black water dripped from its body, emitting a fishy stench.

Chao Jianxue frowned and watched for a long time before he realized that this stench was the smell of demonic energy, the decaying demonic energy buried deep beneath Fumo Pass.

Creak, creak, the tables and chairs were dragged and knocked down under the demon’s movements.

It searched very carefully, even turning over the bed completely. Black water was everywhere it went, and it constantly made murmuring sounds in its mouth.

Chao Jianxue felt that hiding here wasn’t a solution. Given how carefully it was searching, it would find the cabinet sooner or later.

He reached out and touched the cold bronze body behind him.

This was a vase for flowers, with a wide belly and narrow neck, but it was enough for the two Dharma Appearances to squeeze into.

He squeezed Yu Wei’s hand and signaled him with his eyes to look behind him.

Yu Wei understood.

The two of them tiptoed into the vase, barely fitting into the belly of the vase.

As expected, the demon quickly threw the cabinet aside. The bottles and jars inside rolled all over the ground. Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei overlapped, rolling back and forth in the vase like in a barrel, and finally came to a stop.

The demon naturally wouldn’t check what was in the vase. Seeing that there was no movement in the cabinet, it went to the door.

Chao Jianxue broke out in a sweat, tightly hugging Yu Wei, and looked up. The demon’s black body slowly moved across his field of vision. In the corridor, other demons were also gathering.

These demons were actually just byproducts of a greater demon, indicating that there was indeed a greater demon in the separate residence at this time.

Once the demon left, the space twisted by demonic energy returned to normal. The sound of fierce fighting could be heard outside, as the disciples fought hard to resist the demons.

Chao Jianxue sat up and conferred with Yu Wei. They decided not to use any spiritual power or go out, to avoid being ambushed by demons from both sides.

They were in the vase, pushing the bronze vase to move slowly.

The demon had already left the corridor, but demonic energy still permeated it.

The bronze vase hugged the base of the wall, slowly rolling outward.

In such a tense moment, the two’s actions were actually very inelegant, because the vase wasn’t tall enough, so they could only roll forward.

Hugging each other, they rolled forward as if they were stuck together, while also watching the direction, applying their strength skillfully, rolling in a straight line without hitting the wall, rolling as quietly as possible.

Although rolling was simple, it wasn’t easy to meet such stringent requirements.

The two of them were covered in sweat, only hearing each other’s intertwined breathing, adjusting their speed and direction from time to time, their waists also working together to exert force. Sometimes their foreheads bumped into their chins, and sometimes their knees scraped against each other.

In short, they finally rolled to the door with great difficulty, Chao Jianxue’s waist was sore, and his arms were swollen. The square towel he was wearing had also scattered in the rolling, and he was now wearing only Yu Wei’s robe in a vacuum.

Fortunately, he had tied a knot on Yu Wei’s robe so that it wouldn’t roll off too, leaving him completely naked.

But one thing was rather embarrassing. Yu Wei’s robe was made of thin material, and it was smooth against his skin. They had just rubbed against each other like that, and he had a distraction that shouldn’t have been there.

Chao Jianxue was covered in sweat, wanting to ignore something that wasn’t living up to expectations, so he tightened his muscles and pressed his legs tightly together.

He watched Yu Wei’s reaction, who was also panting softly, unsure of his situation. In any case, Chao Jianxue didn’t dare to stick so close to him anymore.

Rolling forward again, there was a string of steps.

The steps were steep, and rolling down them might cause them to fall into a mess. In addition, there were demons crawling in the courtyard. The door to leave the guest house was close at hand. Reluctantly, they climbed out of the bronze vase and quickly flashed over.

Sure enough, as soon as they mobilized their spiritual power, the demon sensed it and pounced on them.

Chao Jianxue threw out a demon-subduing magic tool. Half of the demon’s body was shattered. Then several more demons flashed out of the shadows.

Without the Only Sword, Yu Wei could only keep sending out spiritual power to attack the demons. The two of them dodged and flew, holding hands, and finally broke through the main gate of the guest house, not looking back as they ran forward.

Yu Wei knew where his real body was, pulled Chao Jianxue over the water pool filled with demonic energy, stepped on the snow-covered branches, jumped onto the roof, and ran.

The demons chased after them relentlessly, following them closely like shadows that were getting closer and closer. The demonic shadows loomed, and long, slender, wet hands stretched out to catch and devour them.

Chao Jianxue only looked back once and immediately shuddered and turned his head, focusing on the back of Yu Wei’s head.

Because they were moving so fast, his hair and robes were flying. It was indescribably cold and handsome. Chao Jianxue’s heart pounded, half because of the current crisis and actions, and the other half because he was conquered by Little Martial Brother’s cold and fearless temperament in the face of danger.

Every time they encountered danger, Little Martial Brother seemed fearless, but that wasn’t the case. Chao Jianxue knew that he was also afraid. It was just that he was used to standing in front of others, so even if he was afraid, he would firmly hold his hand and lead him away.

The sound of fighting was getting closer.

Yu Wei shouted in a deep voice, “Jump!”

Chao Jianxue jumped without hesitation. The two of them instantly took to the air. The demon’s fishy hand almost brushed against the back of Chao Jianxue’s neck.

The view was inverted. The long wind hit his face. Yu Wei, the Dharma Appearance holding his hand, suddenly disappeared. He grabbed at empty air.

Chao Jianxue opened his eyes wide. Below the eaves of the pavilion, Yu Wei, covered in blood, was wearing his moon-white robes and reaching out his hands to him.

He was caught steadily, and then the Only Sword flashed with spiritual light. The demon chasing closely behind Chao Jianxue was cut in half on the spot. Black blood poured down in mid-air. Yu Wei turned and didn’t get splashed by a single drop.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, catch!” On the other side, a disciple threw a magic tool to Yu Wei. He took it and flew directly to one end of the formation, throwing it out. A huge net of spiritual energy instantly spread out. Under the urging of several people, it became a demon-binding net, capturing all the demons in front of them.

A sharp-eyed disciple pointed at Yu Wei’s arms: “What’s that?”

Chao Jianxue immediately shrank his head back.

After he fell into Yu Wei’s arms just now, Yu Wei had hidden him in his robes, as if he was hiding a doll.

Yu Wei protected him and said to the disciple, “It’s something important to me.”

Seeing this, that person didn’t ask any further questions and continued to fight the demons that entangled them.

Chao Jianxue shrank under Yu Wei’s clothes, his face pressed against his chest, listening to the powerful and steady heartbeat within, which dispelled half of his tension.

Yu Wei had a faint lotus fragrance on him, which he found very pleasant. He couldn’t help wondering if people born in the “Jade Green One Leaf Boat” would all have such a pleasant lotus fragrance.

He was in the place closest to Yu Wei’s heart. No matter how fierce the demons roared outside, he wasn’t afraid. Even if Yu Wei’s movements made him feel a sense of weightlessness from time to time, the rollercoaster he hadn’t ridden in his previous life, he was now riding in this life.

But as long as he was close to him, Chao Jianxue felt very safe.

He didn’t know how long they fought. Unknowingly, Chao Jianxue felt a little sleepy. His spiritual power had just been consumed, so it was best to rest and recuperate.

Suddenly, he heard a sword cry like a dragon’s roar. A disciple exclaimed in surprise, “It’s Lord Qishan! Lord Qishan is here!”

Chao Jianxue, huddled in Yu Wei’s arms, heard the words clearly. He learned that the elders and several teachers in the separate residence had already gone to search for the demon’s tracks.

Lord Qishan said, “I was originally in seclusion, but who knew that the demon would escape while I was unprepared. There must be something here attracting him to possess, so we must find it as soon as possible.”

Lord Qishan walked towards the guest house with his sword. Seeing Yu Wei, he asked, “Where is Jianxue?”

Chao Jianxue frantically drew an X on Yu Wei’s chest, meaning not to reveal his current situation, in case Lord Qishan could see his demon blood.

Yu Wei covered his chest, also stopping Chao Jianxue’s movements, maintaining a calm expression on his face and saying, “Senior Brother is very safe now.”

“Alright!” Lord Qishan took a deep look at his strange actions, but said, “I believe you, kid.”

After a day and night of fighting, the demonic tide accompanying the greater demon was finally wiped out. This discussion conference could be described as thrilling and exciting. Fortunately, those who came were disciples who had achieved some success. With proper cooperation, there were no casualties.

Several elders also ferreted out the location of the greater demon. It turned out that a disciple from the Northern Border Sect had become demonized and attracted the greater demon, almost causing a catastrophe.

It was also said that it wasn’t just because of this, but also because of theDemon Clan invasion the previous day, which must be related to the demon invasion.

Demon Clan were always cunning and treacherous. A magic tool stained withDemon Clan blood was also found in the demonized disciple’s room. From this, it was inferred that theDemon Clan had lured him to practice evil arts, which led to his demonization. The demonic energy after demonization, combined with the demon-summoning formation woven byDemon Clan blood, led to the birth of this greater demon.

When the several Zhenjun arrived, the greater demon had not fully merged with the demonized disciple, which gave them the opportunity to encircle and kill the greater demon.

“Encircle and kill? Was it really killed?”

“No.”

Several disciples whispered.

In the long run, demonic energy cannot be killed, especially the greater demon that has accumulated demonic energy in Fumo Pass for a long time. The so-called encirclement and killing was only to temporarily disperse his form. Demonic energy gathered in the heavens and earth, and would be suppressed back to Fumo Pass in the encirclement and killing.

But in this way, this greater demon lost the form it had gained by accumulating power, and it would take who knows how many years to regain the power to rush out of Fumo Pass.

The elders were going to discuss the subsequent mountain-guarding formation of the separate residence, and they also invited Lord Qishan to attend. The disciples learned the whole story and had to return to the guest house to clean up the mess.

The good hot spring pool was now all stirred up by the black water of the demons.

Lord Qishan stopped Yu Wei at this time: “I heard from the Sect Leader that Jianxue went to Dongyuan with you?”

Yu Wei nodded: “Yes.”

“There are many powerful clans in Dongyuan. Were there any unusual events on the road? Did you make any friends?”

Yu Wei: “I only made friends with a Ying Three Young Master.”

“Oh, the Ying clan.” Lord Qishan smiled. “The Dream Butterfly Manor has a good reputation. It’s good for you to make more friends. Did Jianxue cause you any trouble?”

Yu Wei became uncharacteristically awkward: “No, Senior Brother is very good.”

Lord Qishan said: “That’s good. He doesn’t have enough talent, so I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future.”

Chao Jianxue listened, and his face slowly turned red.

–

Back at the guest house, there were complaints everywhere.

The floors, beds, and hot springs were all floating with a layer of black demonic residue, which needed to be thoroughly cleaned.

Although they could use spiritual power to control the tools to clean, the spiritual power would fight with the demonic energy, so the disciples had to wipe the floors by themselves.

Yu Wei helped Chao Jianxue tie up his braids to prevent them from falling down and getting stained with residue.

Originally, Yu Wei wanted Senior Brother to find a clean place to sit, but after taking him around the house twice, he couldn’t find a good place to sit. It was safest on him.

Chao Jianxue sat on Yu Wei’s shoulder and handed him clean towels.

The spiritual energy attracted water to rinse the entire inner room, so everything was wet. Outside, it was still snowing, and people were coming and going in the corridor, carrying rags and dirty water buckets, rubbing shoulders and pushing each other.

From time to time, someone would let out a howl of “Ouch,” “Damn,” or “It’s really hard to wipe.”

Yu Wei waved his sleeve, and the door closed, isolating the noise in the corridor outside.

Chao Jianxue had never seen Little Martial Brother wipe the floor. He had always found it difficult to imagine someone like Yu Wei doing such strenuous work. Ordinary housework could be improved with practice, but the Wuwu Sect was supported by spiritual power and was always spotless, so the disciples didn’t have the opportunity to wipe the floor.

But it seemed that Little Martial Brother could do everything… right?

Chao Jianxue and Yu Wei looked at each other, contemplating the increasingly dirty floor.

Yu Wei put away the dirty rag and said shyly, “Sorry.”

Chao Jianxue expressed his understanding: “It’s normal, it’s normal, you haven’t done this kind of work before.” He didn’t need to in the sect, and he didn’t need to when he was the successor to the family head in the One Leaf Boat. Thinking of it this way, it was already very difficult for Little Martial Brother to manage so many things outside of cultivation, and he could also cook porridge, fold quilts, and comb and tie other people’s hair.

Yu Wei looked around at the terrible environment, the slightly knitted eyebrows between his eyes revealing some unease.

Chao Jianxue slid down his sleeve, flew around in mid-air, and also felt that staring blankly was pointless. He flew back to sit on Yu Wei’s shoulder, grabbed a section of his hair, and fell into thought.

Yu Wei sighed, “Let’s just use magic.”

He directly used a cleaning spell, but the spiritual light immediately entangled with the demonic energy in the dirt. With a clang, the two groups of light fought and knocked over the table again.

“…”

Chao Jianxue waved away the rising dust and coughed, “Let’s just do it by hand, slowly, we can always get it clean…”

He felt that he couldn’t let Yu Wei do everything. This body was a little small, but it was flexible, so he still had to contribute.

Chao Jianxue rolled up his sleeves, tied up the corners of his robe, jumped off Yu Wei, took a square towel of appropriate size, and began to wipe from the door outward. Some of the residue stubbornly resisted, so he squeezed them into smaller pieces.

Yu Wei looked at his determined expression, and didn’t insist on letting him sit on his shoulder again. He picked up the mop and worked hard to drag the dirty water out the door.

It was even more tiring than ordinary cultivation!

Finally, it was coming to an end, and the floor was gradually becoming radiant.

Chao Jianxue cast a spell to spread the newly delivered clean pillows and quilts, and he was so tired that he stopped to rest for a while.

He looked at Yu Wei, and the more he looked, the more new and strange it seemed. It was difficult for ordinary people to see a celestial-like Little Martial Brother Yu squatting and wiping the floor.

“Little Martial Brother!” He called out, and Yu Wei turned his face, which had a few spots of black mud on it.

Coupled with his somewhat confused look because he was focused on wiping the floor, he looked a little silly.

Chao Jianxue couldn’t help but laugh. He flew in front of him, reached out his hand, and padded it with a section of clean sleeve to gently wipe away the black spots.

Then he showed it to him with a smile.

Yu Wei’s gaze was gentle, he leaned forward, and his lips touched his forehead.

The hot spring pool was the next big project.

But the elders finally remembered how tiring this was and uniformly used magic tools to take away all the sewage. After the disciples cleaned up, the gurgling hot spring water re-emerged from the Crypt. The new water was full of spiritual energy, which allowed the flowers and trees by the spring to quickly grow new leaves in the rustling snow,Promote fresh buds.

Also, taking advantage of this opportunity, the hot spring pool was re-arranged. A screen was placed in the middle of the two rooms, and the black stones in the spring also re-grew branches and vines,White flowers.

Being able to soak in such a spiritually rich hot spring in the last two days was a blessing in disguise for the disciples, and the cleaning was even morehard working.

At night, Chao Jianxue sat by the clean pool to absorb spiritual energy.

He was too small now to dare to enter the water.

Yu Wei took fresh spiritual fruits back, put on a special bathrobe, slowly went into the water, and moved the wooden tray containing the spiritual fruits to Chao Jianxue’s feet.

Chao Jianxue was too focused, and his clothes were already covered with a thin layer of snow. More white petals fell on him. His spiritual power already showed signs of revival and recovery. His body was surrounded by a halo, making his eyebrows and eyes sacred, but when he opened his eyes, he had a charm that tempted people to kiss him.

Seeing Yu Wei looking at him without saying anything, he smiled and said, “Are you tired? We had to exorcise demons and wipe the floor. I’ll give you a massage later?”

Yu Wei said, “Can Senior Brother do that?”

Chao Jianxue raised his arms and legs and looked at them, saying, “I can, right? The Dharma Appearance just looks small, it’s not like it doesn’t have any strength.”

He told Yu Wei to spread out his palm, stood on it, and squatted down to pinch his arm.

Yu Wei smiled so hard that his hand trembled, and Chao Jianxue almost lost his balance, hugging his wrist, and retaliated by gently biting him.

It only left a small red tooth mark.

Yu Wei raised his hand and moved him in front of him. In the dim yellow light, the face of a hibiscus flower was close at hand, smiling affectionately in the rising water vapor. As if afraid of startling him, he only whispered, “Senior Brother, don’t bite, it hurts a little.”

Chao Jianxue felt that his palm was a good place to be, warm, able to see this beautiful face up close, ensuring that he wouldn’t fall down, and there was a faint fragrance that made him feel refreshed.

He simply sat cross-legged in Yu Wei’s palm, with the hot spring water reaching his knees, and the spiritual energy gradually grew.

“Senior Brother’s hair…” Yu Wei untied his braids, “It’s dirty here.”

He cupped water in his hands and simply poured it down on the dirty place. The warm water flowed down his hair, and Chao Jianxue’s neck was numb, and he shivered slightly. His clothes were half wet, and he was speechless when he met his sincere gaze.
