After everyone learned about Long Xiao Wu's desire to return to the Dragon Domain, they invited everyone to visit. After some discussion, they decided to go together. Zhao Yang also wanted to see the Dragon Domain, but before that, he wished to visit the Southern Domain Sky-reaching Forest to see the Demon Empress and the Demon Queen. At that moment, Liu Rou rushed in with news that the Five Great Sects were under attack. Seeing Zhao Yang safe and sound, she threw herself into his arms. Zhao Yang was overjoyed; he always smiled like a child when he saw Liu Rou. After greeting her, Liu Rou conveyed a few words from Consort of Rain to the head of Xuanfo Temple and expressed her desire to accompany Zhao Yang and Long Xiao Wu to the demon realm before heading to the Dragon Domain.
"By the way, Brother Zhao Yang, I brought someone with me. She's waiting for you at the entrance," Liu Rou suddenly said.
"Who is this mysterious person?" Zhao Yang asked, pinching Liu Rou's cheek as they approached the entrance of Xuanfo Temple. There, he saw a slender woman standing with her back to him, exuding a cold aura, resembling a fairy.
Zhao Yang felt a pang in his heart and immediately embraced the woman, softly saying, "Qingxue, I've missed you so much."
The woman did not move or reject him. She had once been forbidden by her father from getting close to any man. However, when she first saw that calm boy facing the Eight Great Offerings at Myriad Spirit Sect, she felt her heart stir for the first time. That feeling deepened when he shared half of his Invisibility Talisman with her and risked countless powerful cultivators to save her; she could never forget him.
"You already have..." Yu Qingsnow began but hesitated. "Someone?"
Yu Qingsnow was referring to Zhao Yang already being with Liu Rou and where that left her.
"Qingxue, forgive me. I love both of you dearly; you are equally kind and beautiful—one graceful and gentle, the other enchanting and spirited. I will strive to improve myself so that I may be worthy of both of you. If I ever let you down in this life, may I be struck by lightning and suffer endlessly..."
Before Zhao Yang could finish his sentence, Yu Qingsnow gently covered his mouth with her delicate hand. Nervously, she said, "Don't say that. Some things shouldn't be spoken aloud; I trust you."
Though Yu Qingsnow was proud and aloof, her love for Zhao Yang allowed her to accept this situation. She didn't want anything bad to happen to him; otherwise, she would regret it for life. It didn't matter if Master Ice Snow Consort deeply loved Divine Healer or if Consort of Rain loved Sun Daoren—they couldn't be with their beloved ones. All she needed was to know that Zhao Yang loved her and that she loved him in return; that was enough.
In fact, when Liu Rou arrived, she had already shared these matters with Yu Qingsnow. Initially cold and distant, Yu Qingsnow found it hard to accept. However, as she reflected on the chaos in the world and how much pressure Zhao Yang had to bear alone, she realized that neither she nor Liu Rou were ordinary women. Moreover, her King Yu's Zither's seventh string could very well cost her life. If that happened, her beloved Zhao Yang would undoubtedly be heartbroken. She thought about what would happen if one day she could no longer be by his side—who would he love then? Gradually, she came to terms with it. Besides, Liu Rou treated her like a sister from their first meeting, which helped dissolve the knot in her heart.
Nangong Wuxin and Long Xiao Wu were delighted to see their senior sister Yu Qingsnow appear. Song Baliang laughed heartily upon seeing everyone gathered together: "Since my junior brother's beloved is here too, I'll go slaughter that cow on the back mountain! We'll have beef for lunch—it's from the Mang Mountain Spirit Cow; the meat is exquisite!"
The crowd looked at Song Baliang with sympathetic expressions. Song Baliang chuckled foolishly and asked, "What's wrong?"
After asking, he felt a chill run down his spine. Turning around, he saw Datong Zen Master standing behind him and said, "Master, good morning. Just making a joke early in the morning."
Datong Zen Master had a blank expression and replied, "You ate my two cows before, didn't you? Come with me."
With that, Datong dragged Song Baliang into the Forbidden Technique Space. Inside, anguished screams echoed: "Master, I won't do it again! I absolutely won't tell you that it was my junior brother who went with me!"
"Zhao Yang, you come in too! Don't think I won't dare to hit you just because your wife is here!" Datong Zen Master roared. He had worked hard for years to raise those spirit cows, only to have them secretly roasted by his two disciples.
"Datong, you can't beat them now," Great Compassion Zen Master reminded from outside the Forbidden Technique Space.
"It's only right for a master to discipline his disciples; they wouldn't dare retaliate," Datong shouted back.
"When have they not retaliated? Their cultivation levels are higher than yours now," Great Compassion Zen Master advised.
Inside the Forbidden Technique Space, there was a moment of silence before a voice chanted, "Amitabha, monks should speak but not fight."
Datong Zen Master recalled that time when Zhao Yang seemed to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage and had once knocked him out inside the Forbidden Technique Space.
Song Baliang emerged from the Forbidden Technique Space with tears on his face, his left eye noticeably swollen. Datong's tone softened as he said, "Song Baliang, since we have guests, go to the back mountain and kill my Mangshan Spirit Cow for everyone to enjoy. Oh, and leave a cow leg for me."
"Uh-uh, monks don't kill or eat meat," Great Compassion Zen Master reminded.
"Yes, Datong, we can't break the rules, especially the obvious ones. That person is still watching in the forbidden area behind the courtyard. Besides, even if he doesn't care, he still has to oversee things..."
Upon hearing the words of the other Divine Monks, Datong Zen Master felt like he could die from frustration. He gritted his teeth and muttered, "But that's my cow," before turning back to the Meditation Room.
The others burst into laughter. Zhao Yang took out a stalk of Holy Medicine from his Cosmic Bag and said, "Today it's on me! I'll personally cook, and I'll add Holy Medicine to the dishes. Eating it will definitely be a great boost and beneficial for our cultivation." After that, Zhao Yang pulled out a small porcelain bottle and added, "This contains wine brewed from Earth Spirit Spring; everyone gets a cup!"
Excitedly, they headed towards the back mountain to prepare the cow and cook. Just then, a young man dressed in black appeared, claiming he was looking for Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang was pleased to see him and introduced him to everyone, saying, "This is Yuan Shu from the Feng Shui Three Schools. His skills in Feng Shui are extraordinary. By the way, he's your grandfather's disciple."
Yuan Shu quickly got acquainted with everyone, and they all enjoyed eating meat and drinking wine together. During this time, Zhao Yang secretly sent a cow leg to Datong, who was sulking in the Meditation Room. When Datong saw the cow leg Zhao Yang brought him, he grumbled, "I knew it was you, you little sly one."
Zhao Yang chuckled and replied, "Master, I didn't take your cow for free! I still have half a bottle of Earth Spirit Spring wine that belongs to you—no water added—and here’s a Holy Fruit that I've treasured for a long time. Please accept it."
Datong Zen Master nodded and said seriously, "Alright, just leave it there. Your friends are waiting for you; go on."
Once Zhao Yang left, Datong couldn't help but smile widely. He eagerly grabbed the cow leg and started gnawing on it while savoring the Earth Spirit Spring wine sip by sip. He had wanted to ask Zhao Yang for some of this wine several times but never found the courage to do so. To his surprise, Zhao Yang had taken the initiative to bring it to him this time. He had heard from Song Baliang that Earth Spirit Spring was hard to come by; now that Zhao Yang had turned it into wine and even gifted him half a bottle, he felt grateful for having taken on this troublesome disciple after all.
