Lord of the night.

Chapter 1388 The Undisappearing [Two-in-One]

Bi Yunyan, who was listening from the side, seemed to understand but not quite, and couldn't help but say, "Since it's so troublesome, why don't we just give up these benefits?"

"Is this something you can just give up so easily?"

Yan Beihan and Fang Che asked in unison.

Then they both sighed.

So Fang Che began to confuse the issue: "But why would Flying Bear God... seek me out? I was just a nobody back then, wasn't I? This doesn't make sense!"

Yan Beihan rolled her eyes and said, "The person Flying Bear God really wants to find is me! Husband, don't flatter yourself."

"You?" Fang Che was stunned: "You clearly came looking for me first!"

"But I came to you specifically to find me! Putting aside the issue of luck-telling, let me ask you..."

Yan Beihan was certain of this: "Whether it's the Yin-Yang Realm or the Three Realms, who is Little Bear closer to?"

"I love you!"

Fang Che and Bi Yunyan spoke in unison.

Although the truth is that Fang Che was impatient with carrying around the little trinkets, which is why the bear often followed Yan Beihan around, what was truly evident was that it was closest to Yan Beihan: because Yan Beihan liked them the most!

She has the most patience to play with the little one.

"Of the three realms, who was found first?" Yan Beihan snorted.

"You! Little Whitey came looking for you first!"

The two spoke in unison again.

"Who are you calling 'Mom'?"

Yan Beihan became arrogant.

Fang Che and Bi Yunyan remained silent at this point, since they had never heard Xiaobaibai and Xiaoxiong call them "Mom."

"After all, I carry the most fortune of the righteous sect. If Little Bear doesn't come to me, who else will he come to? And you... are also connected to me."

Yan Beihan said, "So it makes perfect sense for you to come to me. If you came directly to me, I might kill you, since we worship the Heavenly Centipede God. It's certain that Little Bear needs some funds to ensure his safety."

"..."

Fang Che said, "That's a stretch. I think it should be me..."

"You weren't qualified back then."

Yan Beihan suddenly gritted his teeth, as if remembering something: "Later, you suddenly displayed the power to control water, and I suddenly remembered that you had this power to control water in the Yin-Yang Realm, right? You lecherous scoundrel, you used water to slap my butt and drown me back then...you bastard!"

Fang Che covered his head and ran away, pleading, "Wife, have mercy! I didn't mean to..."

Bi Yunyan watched with sparkling eyes, finding it particularly amusing.

Hmm, splashing water on your butt? What's the story behind that? I'll definitely have to ask about it later.

After a long while, Yan Beihan sat down, panting heavily.

They abandoned the pursuit.

The main problem is that I'm too weak to keep up.

"Let's get down to business."

Fang Che pleaded for mercy in a humble voice while making a righteous and awe-inspiring suggestion.

Then he posed the question: "I still feel that the little bear should mainly be looking for me... rather than you."

"Alright, alright! I'm looking for you, okay?"

Yan Beihan rolled his eyes and said, "You're important! You're the chosen one, you've attracted the favor of the gods, okay?"

"That's more like it."

Fang Che hummed in response.

"And the second thing?" Fang Che asked. "Didn't you say there were four things?"

"The second thing is what we gained from this Cloud Weapon Ranking. Although we used our cultivation to get here, I strictly warned you two along the way to try not to let your spiritual energy and consciousness fluctuate."

Yan Beihan said, "And the most correct thing to do is... to keep the spiritual energy from fluctuating during these three months! This is the experience that Chief Duan once told my grandfather. Especially when one's cultivation has not yet reached its peak, this kind of enlightenment followed by the dormancy of true energy is much more important than rapidly advancing in realm during this period!"

Fang Che's face twisted in disbelief: "You're not unaware of the patriarch's wager, it was only just made! How can you achieve it without cultivation?"

"Just because we don't cultivate ourselves doesn't mean our spiritual energy doesn't cultivate."

Yan Beihan rolled his eyes and said, "Just don't consciously try to activate it. Instead, let the divine power in the clouds fluctuate and guide the spiritual energy to surge and move forward naturally. What are you thinking?"

She stood up, stretched, and revealed her incredibly beautiful and exquisite curves, making Fang Che drool without even realizing it. He drew a line on the table and said, "For example, this is the ocean wave; so who drives the ocean wave? And from ancient times to the present, has the ocean wave ever stopped?"

"This is called the power of nature!"

"Our current stillness is to allow divine power to be activated. Without our awareness, divine power transforms into the natural force of heaven and earth, stimulating the natural power of the spiritual energy within our bodies to create turbulent waves..."

Yan Beihan said softly, "Let the spiritual veins in your dantian naturally form a sea."

"Understood!"

At this point, not only Fang Che understood, but Bi Yunyan also understood.

"Moreover, after I told my grandfather about this time I was with you, he said that it would be best to walk, to use the divine power of mountains and rivers, to sense the pulse of the earth, to merge with the mountains and rivers, to connect with the water veins, and to respond to the vitality of the earth and the vitality within the body. This is the best method of cultivation this time."

Yan Beihan asked, "What do you say, Patriarch?"

"So it's like divine power flowing naturally, and then we, like ordinary people, measure our way through the mortal world step by step, just like when we are born into this world? In this way, the spirit and form are united, and the life force of heaven, earth, and humanity is in harmony?" Fang Che asked.

“Yes!” Yan Beihan’s eyes shone brightly.

"Since Grandpa has said so, what can I say? Let's just walk over there."

Fang Che said, "At our pace, we can walk at least 300 li a day, no matter what. Half a month should be enough to get there."

Yan Beihan blushed and asked cautiously, "Won't Father and Mother be angry that we arrived too late?"

"That can't be."

Fang Che said, "They had no idea we would come looking for them. Even my own trip there was a surprise."

"hey-hey……"

Yan Beihan laughed foolishly and said, "That's good. Don't blame your daughter-in-law for delaying the trip."

"Will not."

Fang Che said softly, "After all, it's for the sake of cultivation. And when you and I travel in the martial world, cultivation is related to our safety. It's only right that we put our hearts into it. Parents can understand."

"Hey hey hey..."

Yan Beihan's simple smile held a hint of trepidation as he asked, "The third thing is, what gifts should I prepare for this visit to my parents?"

Even Bi Yunyan started to get nervous when this was mentioned.

"I always feel like nothing is quite right, and I can't perfectly express my feelings..."

Yan Beihan asked, "What is Father's cultivation level now? What is Mother's cultivation level? They should match the cultivation levels."

Fang Che touched his nose and said, "Our father's cultivation is quite high. Before we entered Yunlan River, he was a Saint of the third rank... and he should still be now. As for our mother... she should be... a King-level expert now, right? Not quite an Emperor-level one."

"puff!"

Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan almost burst out laughing at his comment about a "King-level expert".

It has to be said that the King level... is now a very distant goal for these three.

"As for gifts... my parents don't care about gifts. Bringing you two back is the best gift for them."

Fang Che smiled and said, "It's alright if it's simple."

"That can't happen!"

Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan objected in unison: "This is the most important event in life, how can it be simple!"

"We need to discuss this further."

"And what about the fourth thing?"

Fang Che asked.

"I haven't figured out how to tell you the fourth thing yet..."

Yan Beihan smiled mischievously and said, "These three things, especially the matter of the little bear... are enough for us to consider."

Fang Che was also helpless: "Let's just take it one step at a time. The sect is still maintaining the status quo, but the higher-ups have begun to prepare to change course; and our current cultivation level is neither high nor low, which is exactly the stage where it is completely useless, which is also very uncomfortable."

Yan Beihan also sighed.

Indeed.

Among the younger generation, they are all outstanding. But when it comes to truly important matters, as Fang Che said, they can't get involved in anything!
It's still at the shrimp level!

"But this time, Grandpa told me to tell you that after this upgrade is over, you can try to see what level the Five Elemental Gu can handle."

Yan Beihan reminded him, "Grandpa takes this matter extremely seriously! Don't try to fool him."

“I value it more than my grandfather.”

Fang Che smiled wryly, then said, "I killed Huo Churan this time, and I didn't say anything, did I?"

Yan Beihan scoffed: "A mere ignition of a fire, killing him is no big deal. What does the Flame Demon dare to say? I'll be the first to deal with him! Don't worry."

"..." Fang Che raised his eyebrows: "This is all thanks to Lord Yan. I should take good care of you and let you rest well as a way of repaying him."

"ah!"

Yan Beihan jumped up abruptly, frantically slapping away the hand that was on his thigh, and shoved Bi Yunyan into his arms: "Let your concubine serve you, I need to think about something..."

call out!
Yan Beihan ran off in a flash.

The concubine stared blankly in the direction the first wife had fled, her face full of misery: "I haven't recovered yet either..."

The Donghuzhou Tianxia Escort Agency welcomed three strange clients.

He was a young master from a prominent family, who, along with his wife and concubine, were separated from their guards when they were attacked by bandits.

Very miserable.

When concubines arrived, they were always carried by men, their bodies were very weak, and they couldn't move at all.

The three of them went to Tianxia Escort Agency to place an order, hoping to be escorted home.

And they toured the beautiful mountains and rivers along the way.

They offered three times the price and paid a large sum of money in advance.

The Tianxia Escort Agency immediately accepted the order and dispatched a team of six elite escorts to escort the young master and his two wives on their journey.

A luxurious carriage was provided.

But as soon as they left the city, the young master and his two wives seemed to regain their energy and insisted on walking, saying that they wanted to measure the magnificent landscape beneath their feet with their own footsteps.

This explanation left the notorious bodyguards of Tianxia Escort Agency utterly speechless!
We've been running around every day until our feet hurt, and you guys still insist on 'measuring this 'magnificent landscape' with your own feet'?
I'm so damn angry!
What are some good measures?

Where is the magnificence? I don't see it at all.

All I could see was a clear blue sky and a beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival scene.

The Cloud Weapon Ranking opened on the 15th of July, and twenty days have passed since then, almost to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The mountains are already ablaze with color, the forests are dyed in vibrant hues of red and yellow, and the leaves of some trees that shed their leaves early have already begun to fall one by one, golden petals drifting down.

The confluence of the Qianshui River nearby, under the setting sun, resembles a flowing golden ribbon across the earth.

A flock of wild geese flew south across the sky, their clear voices breaking the silence of the night with their melodious songs.

The three looked at the sky, listened to the gurgling of the river in the distance, and the rustling of the leaves in the forest beside them.

They all felt an indescribable peace in their hearts.

"Wild geese, startled by the northern cold, fly south."

Fang Che sighed.

Yan Beihan rolled her eyes and glared at him.

She reached out and naturally wrapped her arms around Fang Che's waist, pinching him hard with two fingers.

That's incredibly audacious.

One sentence sums it up for both my family and my grandchildren!

"The scenery is beautiful! Nature is beautiful! The sound is beautiful! The taste is beautiful!"

Bi Yunyan's heartfelt exclamation.

The head镖师 (bodyguard) and five镖师 (bodyguards) of the Tianxia镖局 (escort agency) were filled with complaints.

I didn't really see anything beautiful about it; all I felt was repeating the same route day after day, an endless cycle.

Hey……

However, the six demonic bodyguards were all rigorously trained. As you could see, they were all tall and upright with serious and solemn faces, and they even exuded a sense of righteousness.

They were conscientious and disciplined throughout the journey, which demonstrates their strict adherence to rules.

Moreover, he never speaks carelessly, not even when walking on the street or resting at night. He certainly doesn't discuss things like good versus evil.

The phrase "keep your mouth shut" truly applies to them.

Seeing the professionalism of these six people, Yan Beihan and Fang Che were extremely satisfied, which shows that the Tianxia Escort Agency's continuous killing and reorganization during this period has been quite effective.

For example, these six people, and I'm not exaggerating: they would be undisputed role models in any escort agency!

Even when they took a break each night to drink some alcohol to relax, the six of them would do it in groups of three. And if three people drank, then three of them would inevitably refuse!
"The world's best security escort agencies have been trained."

Yan Beihan transmitted his voice to Fang Che.

"As of now, Tianxia Escort Agency has been successfully trained."

Fang Che said, "But in the long run, we still need to continue."

"You trained him solely through killing?" Yan Beihan asked.

“It’s a different situation.”

Fang Che pondered for a moment and said, "But I must say, an extremely strict system is the only way to make people learn to be upright and disciplined. This applies to both the Guardians and the Sovereign Cult."

"In a sense, people are all inherently base."

Fang Che smiled faintly: "For example, you and I, being beaten to death by Chief Master Duan and Grandmaster Sun every day to practice our skills, are faster than us practicing on our own."

Yan Beihan almost burst out laughing: "You're right."

As they traveled, the six bodyguards were secretly discussing and communicating with each other.

"Look at these three, who are they?"

"Unrecognizable."

"But I'm certain that these two women are definitely not as ordinary as they appear."

"How to say?"

“Look at their figure, temperament, composure, gait, etc. ... Even though they have put away some of their own habits, they are still extraordinary.”

"Moreover, sometimes when the wind blows in your face and you walk behind them, you can smell a delicate fragrance that not every woman can possess."

"They must be two absolutely stunning beauties!"

"As for that man, he's no ordinary person either."

"That's for sure. What ordinary person could possibly find two stunning beauties as wives?"

All six of them were seasoned veterans.

Although their cultivation level is only at the Emperor level, their insight is extremely sharp.

"I have to say, these three... if they weren't our bodyguards, given our previous style, wouldn't they have been three easy targets? We could have killed them, robbed them, and lived happily ever after."

"Heh... If you're not afraid of death, go ahead and try. These three... I reckon crushing us wouldn't be any more difficult than crushing a bedbug."

"Do you think that kind of composure, elegance, and fearlessness can be cultivated simply by being carefree? Do you think that kind of domineering air, that sweeping gaze, is something that an ordinary young master can possess? Do you think that kind of innocent and romantic nature in a woman can be nurtured in an ordinary family? Do you think that kind of superior demeanor can be cultivated without wielding power?"

"If you want to die, you can slit your own throat or hang yourself anywhere, just don't drag the brothers down with you!"

"Nothing much happened along the way. I'm just curious, what's the deal with only traveling 500 li a day? Are they really just out sightseeing?"

"That's good."

The head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) leading the group was quite philosophical about it: "As long as nothing goes wrong along the way, it's not a problem to travel a little slower."

Walking through the mountains and forests, stepping on fallen leaves.

Yan Beihan secretly transmitted her voice to Fang Che: "I really like this feeling of every step forward, as if I am connected with the pulse of the earth, breathing together and sharing the same rhythm... I really want to take off my shoes and walk barefoot."

Fang Che smiled: "I feel the same way."

As for Bi Yunyan, she chattered away the whole way, almost without stopping.

But Fang Che understood that this girl was actually more pitiful than Yan Beihan. She had hardly ever gone out to play in her entire life.

It was rare that nothing happened this time; it was just a simple trip, which allowed this usually lively and playful girl to truly have a great time.

Truly carefree, truly unrestrained!
"Being a concubine is so great!"

This girl has already made this kind of remark seven or eight times in just two days!

She even ran to a clear mountain stream, caught a few small fish without using her cultivation, and excitedly called for them to be grilled and eaten.

Her little mouth was rimmed with black from eating, and her starry eyes were narrowed with immense joy.

That evening, she sat on the mountaintop with Fang Che and Yan Beihan, looking at the Cloud Weapon Ranking still shimmering with golden light in the sky. Leaning against Fang Che's chest, her little head resting on his chest, the happy smile on her face never disappeared.

Yan Beihan leaned against the other side, gazing absently at the sky. A gentle smile played on her lips.

Under the starlight, in the cloud-based weapon rankings, there are names of themselves: Fang Che's name, and Bi Yunyan's name.

The stars twinkle and their golden light shines upon the world, giving one the feeling that our names are one with the starry sky.

Fang Che was also filled with emotion, holding the beauty in his arms.

He said from the bottom of his heart, "In this life, I only hope that the smiles on your faces will never disappear, never disappear."

Yan Beihan nuzzled his chin with her little head.

She whispered, "It won't disappear."

When their eyes met, they both noticed the sweet smile on each other's lips.
