My cultivation is too warm

Xu Mo, hiding in the shadows, watched the unfolding events with a sense of bewilderment.

I thought that the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons could finally stand up in front of Elder Ouyang.

Regardless of the beginning or the process, the final outcome was always the same: the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons ended up in a fit of rage.

Under the reluctant and persistent pleas of the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons, Elder Ouyang finally reluctantly agreed to continue being taught by him.

However, three rules need to be agreed upon: the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons must correct his attitude and not be too arrogant.

In Elder Ouyang's words, he was giving face by letting the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons teach him; if the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons dared to continue being so arrogant, he would just let him teach him directly.

Want to swear? You think you're being polite?

Faced with Elder Ouyang's unusually firm stance, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons was ultimately forced to agree.

After all, he had finally gotten this opportunity to reprimand Ouyang the brat, so how could he possibly miss it?
So what if he couldn't be too arrogant? He tolerated it. As long as he could see Ouyang Xiaogui humbly asking him for advice, it was enough to make him feel extremely satisfied.

Besides, if Ouyang Xiaogui accidentally makes a mistake, wouldn't it be right for me to scold him a few times?
It's just a matter of being careful with the words. As a strict and dedicated teacher who cares for his students, he is the least tolerant of students going astray and will strictly correct them.

The old man of ten thousand demons fixed his gaze on Elder Ouyang, his eyes darting around, a smug look on his face as he thought, "That's right, strictness isn't arrogance. As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces outstanding students."

Hehehe, Ouyang brat, I hope you won't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good.

Seeing the smug expression on the face of the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons, Xu Mo silently left.

He could guess the outcome without even thinking about it, and he felt that continuing to watch would be too cruel for the Old Man of Ten Thousand Demons.

Let's leave, I can't bear to look!
A few days later, Nuannuan suddenly found Xu Mo.

At this moment, Nuan Nuan was still wearing a fiery red robe.

Yes, it's a big turkey wrapped in a bright red cloth, with only its head showing, the rest of its body completely covered by the bright red cloth.

And to avoid looking so ridiculous, Nuannuan even drew feather patterns on her fiery red robe.

Unless you get close, it still looks like a proud and imposing turkey, and from a distance, it does look quite the part.

Looking at Nuan Nuan's appearance, Xu Mo was a little surprised. If he remembered correctly, hadn't Nuan Nuan's feathers already grown out?
He remembered clearly that a few years ago, when he and his senior sister Lin Miaoqing had just returned from a trip, she was covered in beautiful feathers and looked very pretty.

That was the first time he had ever seen Nuan Nuan covered in feathers.

How did it change so much in the blink of an eye?
Faced with Xu Mo's question, Nuan Nuan shyly bent her neck, lowered her head, and blinked as she replied:

"The disciples gave very positive feedback on the robes made from my feathers before, so I thought, since I don't need to go out or fight, these feathers on my body aren't really of much use, so I might as well use them to make robes for my disciples."

"In this way, if they need to go out and carry out any dangerous missions in the future, we can provide them with more protection."

Upon hearing Nuannuan's words, Xu Mo was immediately stunned.

At this moment, he felt extremely remorseful. Why had he been so blinded by greed and tricked Nuannuan into coming to Wuyou Peak?
Nuannuan is such a wonderful Primordial Crimson Phoenix. She was living a perfectly good life on Lingmiao Peak, enjoying every day.

It can also stay with its favorite peak master, Jiu Miao.

As a result, he was tricked into coming to Wuyou Peak because he wanted a strong person to be in charge.

Not only that, but he also tricked it into thinking that if it wanted to understand the feelings of the Nine Wonders Peak Master for his disciples, it should be like him, integrate into the disciples' lives, and stand in the same position as the Nine Wonders Peak Master in order to understand that feeling.

Now, Nuannuan has completely transformed into an "old mother," devoting all her energy and love to the disciples of Wuyou Peak.

It treated the disciples of Wuyou Peak with even more kindness than a human mother would treat her own child.

Every moment, all his thoughts were focused on his disciples.

How can I repay such a heavy love?
Even ten lifetimes wouldn't be enough to pay it back!

As Xu Mo thought about it, his eyes welled up with tears. How could Nuan Nuan be so touching and heartbreaking?
It was clearly just a simple-minded Primordial Crimson Phoenix, but because of itself...

This feeling of indebtedness is just too painful.

"Peak Master, why are you crying?" Nuan Nuan looked at Xu Mo in surprise.

Then it suddenly widened its eyes, "Could it be that, Peak Master, you already know about Jiu Miao's matter? Are you happy for him? In your human terms, you're crying tears of joy, right?"

"Hmm?" Xu Mo rubbed his eyes and looked at Nuan Nuan with some confusion, asking, "What's wrong with Senior Jiu Miao?"

Nuannuan tilted her head and said in surprise, "Eh, Peak Master, you don't know? I thought you did. If that's the case, then why are you crying, Peak Master?"

Xu Mo waved his hand. "It's nothing. I just remembered something."

He then continued, "Nuan Nuan, you haven't told us about Senior Jiu Miao yet."

"Oh." Nuannuan tapped her neck and continued, "Jiumiao is getting married, and that's why I came to see the Peak Master."

"Oh, I see." Xu Mo nodded lightly. He had thought something had happened to Senior Jiu Miao, but it turned out to be a knot... a knot...

"Huh?" Xu Mo stared wide-eyed at Nuan Nuan with disbelief, and asked excitedly, "Nuan Nuan, what did you just say?"

Could it be that there's something wrong with his ears?

The Nine Peaks Master is getting married? Who is his bride? Is it his prodigy junior sister, Fairy Xuanli?

Wasn't Fairy Xuanli unable to appear in the present timeline because her breakthrough was interrupted, resulting in her incomplete state? If that's the case, how can she get married?

Could it be that she has already achieved a breakthrough? But how long has it been? Isn't it said that it takes a very long time to restore and complete the previous Dao? And the chances are extremely small.

But if it's not Fairy Xuanli, then who did Peak Master Jiumiao marry?
To be honest, after hearing about the story of Peak Master Jiu Miao and Fairy Xuan Li, even as an outsider, I would feel extremely resentful if they couldn't be together.

Peak Master Jiu Miao could only marry his prodigy junior sister, Fairy Xuan Li. Seeing Xu Mo's incredulous expression, Nuan Nuan nodded and replied, "That Jiu Miao guy is getting married."

The emotions in his words were somewhat complex, a mixture of joy and surprise, a faint sense of loss, or perhaps other emotions; in short, they were complicated and difficult to discern.

This feeling is similar to the mixed emotions of joy and sadness that family members experience when their daughters, sisters, or cousins ​​get married.

Xu Mo also sensed Nuan Nuan's emotions, but he didn't know what to say. After all, Nuan Nuan had been dependent on the Nine Peak Master since birth, and in Nuan Nuan's heart, the Nine Peak Master was the most important person to her.

It's normal for this person to feel uneasy and apprehensive now that there's another person in their life.

However, he also sensed one thing: Nuannuan's joy for the Nine Peaks Master was genuine.

Therefore, he felt that he didn't need to comfort Nuannuan.

He then asked Nuannuan, "Who is Senior Jiu Miao's Daoist partner?"

Xu Mo stared at Nuan Nuan with a somewhat uneasy expression, anticipating its answer, afraid of hearing an unfamiliar name from Nuan Nuan.

“It’s his junior sister, Fairy Xuanli. Peak Master, you should know her, right?” Nuannuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was Fairy Xuanli, that was fine.

Immediately, a happy smile appeared on his face. It was truly a cause for celebration that the Nine Wonders Peak Master was able to achieve a happy ending with his beloved, domineering and protective junior sister, Fairy Xuanli.

Even he, an outsider, felt a sense of fulfillment.

Then he said somewhat impatiently, "That's wonderful! This is a joyous occasion! When will Senior Jiu Miao and the others' wedding be held?"

If it is Fairy Xuanli, Nuannuan is also familiar with her. In that case, the three of them can definitely live happily ever after.

Unexpectedly, Nuan Nuan sighed and said with a helpless expression, "This hasn't been decided yet. I came to see the Peak Master because the Sect Master asked you to go and talk to Jiu Miao. Jiu Miao is too stubborn."

"Huh? What's going on?" Xu Mo asked, somewhat surprised.

Nuannuan replied helplessly, "Because that guy Jiu Miao was unwilling to marry Fairy Xuan Li. The sect leader heard that the Three Yuan Saint Lord was also unwilling to marry his current wife. In the end, it was Peak Master, your father Wuyou Lingnong who persuaded him."

“Now that guy Jiu Miao is absolutely unwilling to get married, the sect leader is thinking of having you, the descendant of Wuyou Lingnong, try to persuade him. Anyway, the sect leader has no other choice.”

"Huh?" Xu Mo's expression changed in surprise, then he asked angrily, "Nuan Nuan, tell me properly why Senior Jiu Miao is unwilling to marry Fairy Xuan Li? What's going on? Why is this happening? Has he gone mad?"

Xu Mo muttered to himself, "It's no wonder he reacted this way; I just can't understand it."

If I remember correctly, the Nine Wonders Peak Master has always been thinking about his junior sister, Fairy Xuanli. Moreover, he has remained single to this day, and the clothes he wears for countless years were sewn for him by Fairy Xuanli herself.

While everyone believed that Fairy Xuanli had perished, he firmly believed that his junior sister was still alive. This seemed to be a kind of trust, but wasn't it also a way of refusing to accept reality?
Therefore, it can be seen from these various behaviors that the Nine Peaks Master deeply loves his junior sister, Fairy Xuanli.

Now that they've finally achieved their goal of getting married, the Nine Wonders Peak Master disagrees.

Isn't this nonsense?

What does it mean to be disappointed in someone for not living up to their potential?
Xu Mo felt this way right now. Although Peak Master Jiu Miao was his senior, and using that term was a bit inappropriate, it was the truth.

He was genuinely worried about Peak Master Jiu Miao!

Seeing Xu Mo's excited reaction, Nuan Nuan said with some empathy, "That's right, the sect leader and other elders have tried to persuade him many times, but that guy Jiu Miao is like a madman, he won't listen to any of their advice."

Seeing this, Xu Mo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and continued to ask, "Why doesn't he agree? Nuan Nuan, please tell me properly."

Upon hearing this, Nuannuan sighed and said, "Peak Master, you should know about Fairy Xuanli's condition, right? She can't stay in the present world now; she can only exist in the past and the future."

"It's not that she can't come to the present time and space, but that her strength is too great. If she were to forcibly descend, the entire universe and endless time and space would shatter and collapse."

"Even when she saved Jiu Miao and fought that so-called number one evil in the heavens last time, she brought her attack from the past and future to the present time. She herself still dared not set foot in the present time."

Xu Mo fell silent upon hearing this. Did this mean that Fairy Xuanli had not yet recovered?
Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "If that's the case, how do they get married?"

He had previously thought that Fairy Xuanli had recovered, but if she hadn't, it seemed impossible for them to even be together.

Upon hearing this, Nuan Nuan's expression immediately fell, and she said with a worried tone, "Although Fairy Xuan Li cannot descend to the present world, she can infinitely approach the present time and space in the past or future time and space."

"It is a fraction of a second different from the present time and space. Although it is not in the present time and space, ordinary people cannot perceive it at all. Only when they actually come into contact with it can they feel it. There is a strange barrier between the two, which makes it impossible for them to truly come into contact."

"However, if it's just about spending time together, there's no problem; you basically won't notice anything unusual."

"Fairy Xuanli wants to give it her all to improve herself, but she herself lacks confidence and is unsure if she can succeed. If she fails, then she is afraid..."

"Therefore, she wanted to fulfill her wish and marry Jiu Miao before that happened."

“But Jiu Miao disagreed with Fairy Xuan Li taking risks. He wanted Fairy Xuan Li to proceed step by step, gradually accumulating experience and recovering, rather than fighting a desperate battle and risking her life.”

“Jiu Miao said that he also wanted to marry Fairy Xuan Li and live a happy life with her, but he hoped for a long time and to be able to stay with Fairy Xuan Li forever. Therefore, he could not marry Fairy Xuan Li under these circumstances.”

"This..." Xu Mo fell silent upon hearing this.

I never imagined the situation would be so complicated.

I initially thought that the Nine Peaks Master had backed down, feeling that he was not good enough for Fairy Xuanli or something.

If that's the case, he would definitely punch the other person to wake them up.

But if it's the situation now, he's in a dilemma. What should he do?
