Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

He shuddered.

It's more terrifying than seeing a ghost.

Nie Zhao leaned against the corridor, arms crossed, sleeves wrapped with a deep red sash, and a steel wrist guard on the outside, a smile playing on his lips.

"A-Ting is the crown prince of the dragon clan. They are the most loyal of all dragons, whether to friends, family, or lovers."

"To leave without saying goodbye is seen as a complete break in the eyes of the dragons."

Xie Weixing suddenly realized.

No wonder Tan Suiting was so angry.

Their dragon race is so fierce.

But he didn't know that? Ignorance is no excuse, and besides, he's human, at most a lion.

Bullying a braised lion's head meatball?

Seeing the person in front of him deep in thought, Nie Zhao straightened up.

"He grew up in the East China Sea and was later brought back to the Fenghua Sect. Apart from me and Chunri, he has never known anyone since childhood."

Xie Weixing was stunned for a moment.

Nie Zhao raised his hand, his subconscious thought was to run.

The palm strike landed lightly on his shoulder, carrying a reassuring fragrance. A clear smile curved her lips: "His cultivation is very high, but his mind is no different from a child's. Just coax him a bit."

For the first time, Xie Weixing felt that this senior sister who had turned him into Natasha by a ball of fire wasn't so scary after all.

"...Oh, I see."

"He likes sweet pastries," Nie Zhao withdrew his hand and reminded him, "Have an outer disciple bring them back for you. He's not allowed to go down the mountain on his own."

Xie Weixing nodded, fawningly saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister. You're so kind, so gentle, and so beautiful."

Nie Zhao paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly: "You call me that quite naturally. You should be glad that I was in seclusion when you and Shen Chunri sneaked down the mountain."

"Otherwise," she smiled radiantly, exuding charm, but her words were chillingly cold, "you two probably won't be able to get out of bed right now."

Xie Weixing's fawning expression vanished instantly, and the next second he took off running.

Nie Zhao grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back violently: "Tell Shen Chunri to come to the back mountain to find me."

Xie Weixing's voice trembled: "Huh?"

"I'm going to give her special training."

*

Shen Chunri squatted on the ground: "Is Xiao Tan angry with you? No wonder she's been ignoring everyone these past few days. You should repent properly."

"Do you have any medicine that will make someone forgive me as soon as they take it?" Xie Weixing made up a story.

"Yes, I do. Soul-Stealing Pill. One pill and everything will be perfect. Do you want it?" Shen Chunri replied. "But to drug the Dragon Prince, really? You're incredibly bold."

His expression held a hint of admiration.

"Is there anything that isn't medicine, but that can make him forgive me?"

"Are you mentally ill? Why would you prescribe medication when there's no other way?"

"Can't you medicine practitioners put in a little more effort? You can't even figure this out? Does that mean you can't prescribe medicine?"

Shen Chunri: ?

The whole conversation was like a medical dispute.

Xie Weixing clicked his tongue, looking somewhat melancholy. He glanced at her and casually asked, "Why are you squatting like that?"

Shen Chunri remained calm: "My left leg is broken. It's being treated with medicine."

She waved her hand dismissively: "It's nothing, just a superficial injury. I made a special medicine for it, and it'll be fine by tomorrow."

Xie Weixing: ?

Can you please stop describing a broken leg as casually as losing a hair? It's terrifying...

Were you lying to him before? What about the ancestral teachings of the Feng Hua Sect, the gentleman follows his heart and has no intention of staying long?

Actually, they're all dead. Is it really possible for anyone to leave this sect alive?

"Is it really broken?" He gently touched it with his foot.

Shen Chunri hissed, "Uh."

"Hungry? Grab a Snickers bar."

"What?" Shen Chunri looked up and sighed. "Don't you think my life has been miserable ever since Senior Sister came back? I got special training again today. It's okay that my leg is broken, but if I hadn't been fast enough, I would have died in the Phoenix Fire."

When Nie Zhao was giving special training to his junior brothers and sisters, Feng Jilan and Feng Yu never interfered.

The eldest sister's status in the Feng Hua Sect is comparable to that of a panda.

"Wake up," Shen Chunri, heartbroken from the beating, squatted on the ground, pulling at the grass at her feet. "Now that you're so powerful, can you try to usurp Senior Sister's position?"

Xie Weixing shuddered: "Me?"

"Uh-huh."

Xie Weixing also squatted down and answered very seriously, "Big sister, what you said shows a complete lack of manners. Maybe it would be quicker to just let me hang myself in my room."

Shen Chunri, whose illusions were ruthlessly shattered by Xie Weixing: "..."

"You stinking lion!" She threw a blade of grass at Xie Weixing's face. "You damned lion! What good is an eighth-tier spirit beast except for its ears?! I despise you!"

After saying that, she stormed off, limping along, showing great determination despite her disability, though she almost twisted her ankle.

Xie Weixing removed the grass from his face.

Oh, so he's the one who got bullied.

[We... are... not... stinky lions...]

[Xie Weixing is not... Giant Furui... No...]

[This is hilarious! I thought Little Dragon Prince was angry about something, but it turns out it's because Father Xie was in seclusion and didn't tell him.]

[Are there any dragons this cute?]

[Oh dear, I've upset my husband, I need to go and coax him.]

[Hmm? Is Dragon Palace level 1?]

[Beauty 1: Correct, Beautiful, Stunning, Suitable]

[Handsome, charming, older, sexy guy, you better just sit back and let him dominate you!]

[Xiao Long is tall and there's a size difference between him and Xie's father. Delicious!]

Most importantly, our Dragon Palace is young and energetic.

[Actually, when shipping these two, I never even considered who was the top and who was the bottom.]

[Pure Love is Invincible]

[Oh my little lion, how adorable! Go and make up with Long'er!]

[Isn't the sect election the day after tomorrow? Oh, then I'll be seeing the main characters soon, right?]

[If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten who the main character in the original book was.]

[Those three seem to have just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and Su Boyu isn't very strong in combat, so they can only rely on warming talismans.]

[Focusing intently on Xie Weixing, all attention was drawn to this sleepy little one and this little dragon prince...]

[Those haters who criticized my son at the Golden Core stage have fallen silent again; they know they can't win now.]

[Little Jade Treasure didn't really cultivate seriously to begin with, but he'll have a powerful backer later on. Just wait and see when the Demon Lord arrives.]

[Even the disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect like him. The number one swordsman, Yan Chenxiao, is already in the late Golden Core stage. Beating Xie Weixing would be a piece of cake for him...]

[After listening to you guys brag for so long, I thought you were incredibly powerful. But now it seems that this so-called Demon Lord isn't even as awesome as Feng Jilan, and the direct disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect isn't as awesome as the Senior Sister.]

[Agreed, Feng Hua Sect is strong even without Xie Weixing joining, I can't think of how they could lose.]

[If it weren't for the protagonist's halo and the overwhelming cheat codes, the Feng Hua Sect could have easily beaten Su Boyu and his group to a pulp.]

[I've wanted to say this for a long time... The original novel about the Feng Hua Sect portrays it as a genius sect whose destiny has been stolen.]

Xie Weixing asked an outer disciple who had gone down the mountain to buy some supplies to bring back a bag of sugar crisps wrapped in oil paper.

But Tan Suiting never returned; it was said he spent the whole day cultivating at Hanxin Lake.

Xie Weixing was meditating in his room, circulating his spiritual energy. He was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the door next door.

He instantly snapped out of it and pushed open the door to go outside.

"Little Dragon Prince," Xie Weixing said with a smile, "Want to grab a late-night snack together?"
