Changbai Mountain is shrouded in a blanket of white all year round, a white that is serene, lonely, and chilling.
The Mushroom Master sat with his eyes closed in the Wind Pavilion.
Yufeng Courtyard is the highest point of Changbai Mountain, and Wind Pavilion is the highest point of Yufeng Courtyard. It feels somewhat like a tongue twister, and one wonders what the owner was thinking when naming it.
The Mushroom Master sighed softly, "Riding the wind away and returning with the wind, the celestial realm has ample Spiritual Energy, but what is the purpose of a lifetime of cultivation? I'm tired; living is exhausting!"
"Master! Master!"
"Big Brother!" Li Baobao's slightly angry reprimand halted Yao Ming's loud shouting.
At that moment, Li Xiaonan awoke. He opened his eyes slowly, wondering where this vast expanse of white was. Was Master and Big Brother's chaotic shouting part of a Journey to the West performance?
Li Baobao surveyed the surroundings and scolded, "Why are you shouting so loudly! What if you cause an avalanche? Do you think there aren't enough living beings crushed under the snow already?"
Yao Ming chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head in embarrassment.
The Mushroom Master swayed slightly and appeared before them, his expression cold. "Did I not tell you to return after the ninth day? Are my words no longer heeded?"
Yao Ming shrank his head back, hiding behind Li Baobao, and said sheepishly, "Well... it was Junior Sister who wanted to come back..."
"Master!" Li Baobao's eyes filled with tears as she suddenly knelt before the Mushroom Master with a thud. This action truly startled him.
"Girl! What are you doing? Get up!"
Li Baobao shook her head through her tear-filled eyes. The tears splattered out and instantly froze into ice pellets, becoming lethal weapons in the human realm. "Please, Master, save my master!"
The Mushroom Master frowned slightly. "Your master?" His gaze finally landed on Li Xiaonan, and he was taken aback. "Yuan Ying!"
Li Xiaonan also looked up, finally meeting those seemingly impenetrable three-layered eyes. So this is Baby's master! Hmm?
He widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed, "Another immortal?" Damn! So it turns out immortals are not that rare. Let me count how many there have been—this is the fourth one! I'm almost running out of fingers!
Mushroom Master was also taken aback and said calmly, "So it's you, little brother! How did you know? Never mind, never mind! His Flesh is destroyed; I can't save him! You all should hurry down the mountain!"
Li Baobao panicked, "Master, how can there be someone in this world you can't save? Master, please! As long as... as long as you can save him, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life! Never leaving your side!"
Li Xiaonan tilted her head and coldly scrutinized Mushroom Master.
No way! It seems that immortals are indeed strange; they even like master-disciple romances! Do they really want to imprison their female disciples for life and toy with them?
No way! I won't let my wife be handed over to someone else!
He shifted his position, revealing his bare upper body, and said to Li Baobao, "Baobao, I'm fine! Look at me, I'm strong!" As he spoke, he patted his chest but ended up coughing violently.
Li Baobao felt a pang in her heart and gently patted Li Xiaonan's head. "Master, stop comforting Baobao. Baobao knows you're in pain; it's okay! Master will definitely be able to save you!" With tears welling up in her eyes, she looked pleadingly at Mushroom Master.
"Alas... when I say I can't save him, I really can't! Xiaoming, hurry and take your junior sister down the mountain!"
Yao Ming glanced awkwardly at Li Baobao, clearly indicating that both the master and junior sister would listen to the master!
"Junior sister, let's go down the mountain first... I'll think of a way for your master later..."
"No way! No way! I'm not going!" Li Baobao instinctively tightened her grip around Li Xiaonan, as if she wouldn't survive the next second if Mushroom Master didn't save him...
With a thud, Li Baobao's arms pressed against her own soft chest, causing Li Xiaonan to be crushed...
Mushroom Master curiously sensed the change in the surrounding air. Instead of dissipating into nothingness, Li Xiaonan transformed into stardust and slowly began to gather from all directions.
A booming laughter echoed through the air: "Hahaha! I'm here! None of you are leaving!"
Mushroom Master's brows furrowed in alarm. "Oh no! He's coming!" He waved his hands to protect his two disciples behind him.
A swirl of light and shadow slowly appeared before the three, revealing a man in white robes with hair as white as snow, his two sword-like eyebrows also a striking white, sending chills down their spines.
He was basking in the glory of his dramatic entrance when suddenly the temperature around them dropped a few degrees, and a mass of black mist began to coalesce.
"Woo woo woo... I've been squished again... woo woo woo..." A Handsome Face emerged before everyone, long black hair cascading down to his waist, his sorrowful expression tugging at their hearts.
"Master! I... I didn't mean to!" Li Baobao cried out, looking at the reformed Li Xiaonan with guilt.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand and said, "Don't cry, don't cry! It's fine, it's fine! It doesn't hurt or itch; it just feels strange inside..."
He furrowed his brow slightly, sensing the changes in his body. With each disassembly and reassembly, it felt as if this body was no longer his own; each time he seemed to merge with something else.
The white-haired man exclaimed in shock, "Yuan Ying! Ha! What a good thing! Old tree, aren't you going to come home with me? You've played long enough! Oh? Are these two your disciples? Medicine Ginseng, Banyan Tree? Not bad, not bad; just right for decorating the medicine garden and courtyard. Hahaha!"
Mushroom Master glanced back at Li Baobao and Yao Ming with a complex expression and said lightly, "They have nothing to do with me."
The white-haired man laughed heartily. "Good! If they have nothing to do with you, then it's even better. I'll just take them with me!"
"You!" Mushroom Master was momentarily speechless, unsure how to counter the man's words.
Li Xiaonan, bare-bottomed, wandered around. The sudden appearance of this immortal felt strangely familiar; he seemed different from any immortal he had encountered before.
"Yo yo! Handsome boy, you're tempting me! How did you know I like this?" The white-haired man giggled flirtatiously, exuding a Charming demeanor.
Li Xiaonan was startled, his lower half trembling involuntarily. "Who... who is tempting you... don't say such things!" He turned to run but was caught by the white-haired man's grip on his delicate ankle, leaving him suspended in mid-air.
"Master!" Li Baobao gasped in surprise. She didn't care about the formidable power of the suddenly appearing white-haired man; a green vine shot out from her sleeve and struck at him.
With a light breath, the white-haired man caused the green vine to instantly wither away into ash.
He sneered. "Your master doesn't dare to act recklessly; you little girl dare to sneak attack me! You look quite charming; if you cultivate well, you could become a Demon Immortal. At that time, just like I did for your master, I'll give you a mark. As long as you serve me well, I'll grant you an immortal title!"
"I'm not interested! Let go of my master!" Li Baobao was about to strike again when he was stopped by the Mushroom Master.
The white-haired figure chuckled, carefully examining the bare-chested Li Xiaonan, even going so far as to pervertedly flick at that cute little brother.
"Ah!" Li Xiaonan screamed, flailing his arms and legs as he struggled free, shouting, "You filthy immortal, let me go! Bastard!"
"Oh? The Yuan Ying has solidified, not bad, not bad! How did you know my name is Soulmate? But soon I will be your master, so how can I let you call me by my name directly? Watch how I train you!" With that, he slapped Li Xiaonan's pale bottom.
"Ah! Wuwuwu!" Li Xiaonan cried, truly crying for the first time in his life after being spanked by a strange male pervert. He could already imagine the days to come.
I don't want to be a little boy! I don't want to be violated! I don't want to be gay!
"Master, Baby is coming to save you!"
"Junior sister! Senior brother is here to help you!"
With that, both of them charged at Soulmate. Soulmate smiled slightly, continuing to pat Li Xiaonan while retreating gracefully.
Li Xiaonan thought to himself, why does this guy love to show off so much? He'll get struck by lightning sooner or later!
His bright little eyes turned around quickly, and Li Xiaonan immediately thought of a way to escape.
I've already been violated twice; getting violated once more shouldn't be a problem!
He looked up at Soulmate, his gaze softening as he said lightly, "So comfortable... you... you... can go a bit harder..." Ugh... this is disgusting...
Soulmate smiled and said, "Oh ho! Not bad! Worthy of my attention!" With that, he raised his hand high.
Li Xiaonan tightly shut his eyes as a wave of intense pain exploded behind him. He shouted, "Ah!" as his Yuan Ying body shattered once again.
"Master! Give me back my master!" Li Baobao's cheeks were covered with white spirals as roots shot out from behind him like white whips.
Li Xiaonan had not perished; instead, he floated gently in the air, contemplating what to do next.
Sigh... I finally escaped. This time, I won't condense; I'll just disperse and see what this Soulmate can do to me! Why did this suddenly appearing Soulmate want to capture my master? And judging by Mushroom Master's demeanor, he seemed completely unwilling to resist, almost as if he was waiting for death!
The Soulmate stared at the suddenly vanished Nascent Soul, momentarily taken aback before bursting into laughter. "Interesting kid! Once I deal with that old wooden man and his two disciples, I'll come find you!"
With a swift turn of his body, he extended his claw-like hands toward Yao Ming and Li Baobao.
"Don't harm my disciple!" Mushroom Master’s expression turned cold as he summoned a wooden shuttle that flew toward the Soulmate.
"Hmm? Has the little one made some progress in cultivation? How peculiar, truly peculiar. But I am still your master; you remain a mere Demon Immortal!" He clapped his hands together, and a brocade pouch embroidered with Leisurely Clouds and Wild Cranes appeared in his grasp. With a sharp command, he declared, "Collect!"
The three of them, along with the surrounding air, were all sucked into the pouch in an instant.
Yao Ming gazed at the azure sky, the vast fields of medicinal herbs, and the white cranes frolicking by the creekside. He asked in a daze, "Master, where are we? Who was that person? How can they be stronger than you?"
With a soft pop, Li Xiaonan once again condensed into his Nascent Soul form, but he appeared even smaller than before, shrinking from the size of a palm to that of a thumb.
"Master! You're still alive!" Li Baobao exclaimed joyfully as he rushed forward to catch the tiny Nascent Soul. He felt a sudden weight and nearly dropped him.
Mushroom Master glanced around, shook his head, and sighed. "This is a long story..."
