I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

Fang Xuan was locked inside the space by Ning Qian.

However, it was called a "lockdown," but in reality, it was just that his senior sister said with a stern face, "Today I will punish you by forbidding you from stepping out of the space again," and he obediently nodded and walked in on his own.

The space is still the same space.

A stone platform, a tea table, and a few bright lamps.

And there's Little Black sneaking around in the corner, munching away on pills.

Upon seeing Fang Xuan enter, Xiao Hei raised its head, its mud-like body swaying slightly...

Fang Xuan ignored it and sat down at the tea table.

My senior sister said she would let him cultivate during the day and then punish him at night.

So before that, he had to sneak away.

It would be easy for him to escape; he could simply open the spatial portal.

But I can't just run away, otherwise how can I be truly imprisoned by my senior sister and then drained dry?

First, let's release a fake aura here, and then... go to the lower realm?

That sounds like it should work.

He raised his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy condensed at his fingertips.

With a gentle touch, an aura identical to his appeared on the tea table.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to cultivate.

To pass off a fake as real.

He stood up, parted the space, and stepped inside.

Before leaving, he glanced back at the lump of black mud.

"You little black devil, don't tattle!"

Little Black didn't move.

But Fang Xuan always felt that its silhouette conveyed a sense of helplessness, like "You two really know how to have fun."

The crack closed...

.......

Inside the main hall.

Ning Qian sat cross-legged on the soft couch with her eyes closed.

But I just can't calm down.

Two hours have passed...

I haven't seen my junior brother for two hours... Should I go and take a look?

No no no.

We agreed to lock up our junior brother as punishment, otherwise what if he tries to run away again?

She bit her lower lip.

Taking a quick peek shouldn't count as looking... anyway, my junior brother doesn't know.

She stood up and made way for others.

Step in.

........

In the space.

Beside the tea table, a figure sat cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed.

Ning Qian looked over and saw her junior brother's aura.

But that figure... remained motionless, unusually still.

She took two steps closer and looked more closely.

An illusion formed by spiritual energy.

She turned around and looked around; it was empty, there was nothing there.

Junior brother... ran away?

Her eyes reddened again, and she gritted her teeth.

That wretched junior brother, he ran away again! I just locked him up, and I promised to punish him...

She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

What if... what if I get tricked by some enchantress? Or what if I fall into some kind of danger?

Those women, they're all so good at seducing men...

The more she thought about it, the more wronged and angry she felt.

The suppressed desire in my heart could no longer be contained.

It seems that simple punishment won't work. My junior brother is so disobedient, he must be disciplined severely!

She raised her eyes, and her divine gaze turned dangerous.

I remembered my previous thoughts again...

She needs to train her junior brother until he's completely bedridden and can never leave her...

As for the rest... she didn't want to think about it anymore.

The only right thing for my junior brother is to stay by her side!

Yes, that's it.

They captured him, locked him up, and forcibly drained him dry until his junior brother said he would never leave her side for the rest of his life...

.......

Nether.

Xunyuan Town.

Fang Xuan walked on the bluestone path, in a very good mood.

The streets still look as familiar as I remember.

A vendor selling candied hawthorns, a stall selling sesame cakes, and children running around.

Exactly the same as before.

After all, he has only been gone for a little over a year.

He didn't like the fact that there were no seasons or weather changes in the upper realm.

He's just an ordinary person, lacking any divinity, probably because he hasn't been practicing for very long...

I've been in this world for three years now.

Three years is but a blink of an eye in the eyes of those in the upper realm.

But for him, it was still a long time; every day was vividly etched in his memory...

.......

A child on the street.

He looked about seven or eight years old, running around with a sesame seed cake in his hand, neither eating it nor not eating it.

He walked past Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan was looking at the sesame seed cake...

Um.....

Take a deep breath, then look away.

Never mind... he's no longer the Fang Xuan who used to snatch sesame cakes.

.......

Keep walking forward.

After turning two corners, we arrived at their small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was ajar.

He pushed open the door.

The little apricot tree is still there in the yard.

It's a little taller than last year, and a few new leaves are sprouting on the branches...

The lower realm is better.

There are four seasons, there is weather, and there is the feeling of being alive.

Those immortals in the upper realm have lived for tens of thousands of years, and probably have long forgotten what it means to "live".

They simply "exist".

Fang Xuan reached out and plucked an apricot blossom.

With nothing much to do in the future, he'd rather retire here.

I basked in the sun with my senior sister, drank tea, and watched the apricot trees sprout and bloom.

Occasionally, I'll tease Little Black.

It's perfect.

But he also knew that it wasn't time yet; there were still too many things to do.

The matter of Lu Zheng, the matter of the laws of time, the matter of the First Heaven.

besides......

Actually, he wanted to take his senior sister back with him, but... that's probably impossible now.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

He didn't linger and turned to leave the courtyard.

.......

Walking down the street, Fang Xuan began to think about his next step.

If I go have a drink with Chen Fan, my senior sister will probably be angry.

Hmm... it would be best if I got injured.

This will make his senior sister even angrier, and she will punish him even more severely.

But... what in the lower realm could possibly harm him?

The first level of the Golden Immortal realm, combined with the laws of time, lust, and space.

The strongest beings in the lower realm are only at the Tribulation Transcending stage, which is nothing more than a matter of one sword strike for him.

If you were to find a powerful organization and pretend to be injured...

I bet my senior sister went and secretly wiped out the entire clan the next day.

He thought again.

Go find Chen Fan, then go to the brothel to listen to a song...?

Then the senior sister would have to hang him up and discipline him.

This is just...

Cough cough, no...

He was just doing it for the mission; he didn't have any strange fetishes.

He raised his hand to clear the space, then stepped inside.

The goal is to go to Tianlan Kingdom in the Southern Frontier, find Chen Fan for a drink, then listen to music, and wait to be caught by my senior sister to complete the mission.

"I'm so happy! Senior sister, hurry up and train me!"

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan suddenly stopped and quickly shook his head.

What is he thinking?

That's not what he meant; he just said it offhand...
