Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

At least, in the end, she chose to stand up for Yunping instead of trying to escalate the situation.

Although this girl particularly enjoys stirring up trouble, she can still clearly distinguish right from wrong. Her actions clearly demonstrate that she is on Yun Ping's side and is voluntarily stepping forward to act as Yun Ping's shield.

And they haven't caught up yet, probably because they felt things had gone too far and they're still dealing with internal matters at Piaoxiang Pavilion.

"Hmph." Ye Yuchan snorted coldly, her little mouth pouting unconsciously, and muttered under her breath, "Then why are you so affectionate with her? It's making me..."

"Huh?" Yunping didn't hear clearly.

Ye Yuchan glared at him and said, word by word, in an annoyed tone, "Nothing!"

To this, the old rogue could only helplessly shrug and say that women are indeed women, their minds are truly hard to fathom.

It was at this moment that Zhang Ruoxue suddenly stopped and looked up at the silent full moon in the night sky—

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask this..."

"Hmm? What's the problem?" Yunping turned around and looked at the girl who had suddenly stopped, puzzled. "Is it a physiological problem?"

(Twist)

Sitting in her wheelchair, Ye Yuchan expressionlessly gave Yunping's waist three rounds of fat.

Zhang Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Yunping, put the little teddy bear on her head, and then pointed to the bright moon above.

“We’ve been here for a while now, haven’t we? Although we only went to that Fragrant Pavilion, you played many pieces there, so it feels like more than ten hours have passed.”

Yun Ping nodded seriously, but he immediately understood Zhang Ruoxue's doubts: "About that, it should take about seven or eight hours."

"If that's the case, then why..."

She pointed to the pitch-black sky above, where it seemed impossible to see anything outside, her strange gaze wandering over the full moon.

"It's still night? And the moon here is ridiculously big... and shows no sign of disappearing..."

Yes.

Looking up at the sky, the bright moon almost filled the entire sky. If the full moon I saw in the Kun Tian Domain was like a white jade plate, then the full moon now was like a calm lake. The difference between the two was several times.

Such a strange phenomenon cannot be explained by mere chance.

Speaking of the moon, Ye Yuchan suddenly remembered: "I remember that skinny shopkeeper said something like the Netherworld was a place very similar to the Secret Realm, and it seemed to be very close to the moon?"

"Oh, I do remember that..."

Ye Yuchan looked up at the sky and said, "That's why the moon is so big, like a pancake."

"Have you evolved from having nothing but money on your mind to having nothing but food on your mind?" Yun Ping remarked casually. "Speaking of which, your appetite has increased quite a bit lately."

"Who knows, maybe I'm going to grow taller?" Ye Yuchan also found this a bit strange.

Yunping glanced at the girl's chest, which was a notch below Zhang Ruoxue's, and chuckled, "I think you'd better not dream about this kind of thing. You're already set in your ways; no matter how much you eat, it won't make you bigger..."

(Twist)

The waist meat was once again subjected to a critical hit enhanced by spiritual energy!

Yunping's HP -1, remaining HP 999999998...

The old rogue chuckled awkwardly, and under Ye Yuchan's gloomy gaze that was almost dripping with water, he forced a smile and ended the topic, then straightened his expression.

"In short, this place, which is the underworld, is eternal night in the truest sense."

"Eternal Night?" Ye Yuchan tilted her head. "Does that mean there's no daytime?"

"That's right, there's no daytime here, and no sun, so ordinary people basically can't survive here—after all, everything depends on the sun to grow."

Ye Yuchan smirked: "I think ordinary people probably couldn't cross that river either..."

"But speaking of which, is Eternal Night... the entire Netherworld like this?"

“No.” Yunping shook his head and pointed to his feet: “Once we leave this place, which is the Netherworld, there will still be daytime in other places, especially the Yangque Fire Domain that we are going to next. Although the Yangque Fire Domain is also within the Netherworld, due to the existence of the Yangque Yinghuo… it is equivalent to a sun, so it will basically enter a near-eternal daytime.”

"From eternal night to eternal day, the difference is too great." Ye Yuchan had a rather peculiar thought: "Won't I have trouble adjusting to the time difference?"

Yun Ping narrowed his deadpan eyes and stared at Ye Yuchan: "Your thoughts jump around too fast..."

Zhang Ruoxue continued to gaze at the sky, feeling the restless spiritual energy within her body, and murmured softly, "So that's how it is, just as I thought..."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

Yunping could tell that Zhang Ruoxue had stopped walking not just because she was curious about the question.

Her complex and somewhat somber face suggested that she had other thoughts.

Upon hearing Yun Ping's words, Zhang Ruoxue paused, her expression hardening slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in her deep blue eyes.

She opened her mouth, the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them.

Seeing her like this, Yun Ping smiled faintly, stepped forward, put his arm around Zhang Ruoxue's shoulder, and looked at her very gently: "Just say what you want to say, just ask what you want to ask. You are my disciple, we are like family, don't hesitate, just say what comes to mind."

"Um……"

Zhang Ruoxue nodded subtly and took a deep breath.

She then revealed what was on her mind.

"I want to stay here... to remain in the Netherworld."

……

"Eh?!?!?!"

Ye Yuchan was so startled that she almost jumped off her wheelchair, a surprising action that attracted the attention of many cultivators around her.

She quickly lowered her voice, but her beautiful eyes were still fixed on Zhang Ruoxue in shock: "Why are you staying here? This place is so dangerous, Ruoxue..."

"This is the most convenient place for me to cultivate, isn't it?"

Zhang Ruoxue interrupted Ye Yuchan.

With a faint smile, she hugged Xiao Han and stroked its soft fur. "I just feel that following the teacher like this, although you'll see a lot and broaden your horizons, you'll also get harassed by X, and it seems like you won't get anything that can improve your strength..."

Yunping: "Hey, you just said 'sexual harassment,' right? I didn't sexually harass you at all!"

Zhang Ruoxue ignored Yun Ping's rebuttal and continued, "Moreover, my cultivation level and realm are the lowest among everyone. If this continues, I will only drag everyone down... Even now, I am still a burden."

“A burden…” Ye Yuchan took a deep breath, looking at Zhang Ruoxue with a complicated expression, “How could you be a burden…”

"So, you want to stay here and cultivate your skills?"

Before Ye Yuchan could finish speaking, Yun Ping interrupted her, asking Zhang Ruoxue with a solemn expression.

Zhang Ruoxue nodded firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Is that so...?"

Yun Ping looked at Zhang Ruoxue with satisfaction, patted the girl's head, and grinned, "Alright, your teacher grants permission~"

Ye Yuchan was immediately startled, "You old rogue, you really want to..."

"If Ruoxue wanted to do this herself, there was no need for the teacher to stop her, was there?"

"But this is the Netherworld. Leaving her alone is..."

"I'm fine."

Zhang Ruoxue gave Ye Yuchan a reassuring smile, "Teacher, you and Yuchan can go to the Yangque Fire Domain together. Besides, I'm not alone."

She smiled and picked up Xiao Han from her arms, "Isn't there still Xiao Han here?"

"Woof?!"

The teddy dog ​​named Xiaohan paused, suddenly feeling as if it had been drawn into some strange event.

Ye Yuchan's worry lingered on her face for a long time. She stepped forward reluctantly and looked at Zhang Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, are you really sure?"

Zhang Ruoxue chuckled, her smile looking somewhat silly: "Well, there's nothing I can do~ I don't have much talent or ability, so I can only rely on this opportunity to work hard."

Try your best... huh.

Looking at Zhang Ruoxue now, Yunping felt as if he were looking at himself from a long, long time ago, with the same silly smile and saying that he could only rely on his own efforts.

Because... I don't have the talent.

Indeed, leading her into the world of martial arts was the right decision.

"Since that's the case, I will bestow upon you this treasure~"

Yunping raised his right hand slightly and suddenly held a pendant in his hand.

He handed the item to Zhang Ruoxue, who looked puzzled, and explained, "This pendant was given to me by an old friend with whom I formed a bond. He should be living in the southwest corner of the Netherworld now, where there is a pharmacy. Take this pendant to him; he has many things that can help you."

Zhang Ruoxue took the pendant and put it into her storage ring.

"Then, shall I go there now?"

Yunping nodded. "Going there now shouldn't be any problem. His pharmacy won't close down because business isn't good."

"Understood."

Zhang Ruoxue nodded, glanced reluctantly at Ye Yuchan's worried face, and took a deep breath.

"Well then, Yu Chan, I'll be going now."

"Ruoxue..."

"Don't worry~" Zhang Ruoxue smiled reassuringly again, turning around as she said, "I'll take good care of myself, don't worry."

Ye Yuchan: "..."

After saying this, Zhang Ruoxue left directly. Since she wasn't like Fan Luokui, who had no sense of direction, Yunping wasn't worried that she would get lost.

Gazing in the direction Zhang Ruoxue had left, Yun Ping swiftly cast several spells with his right hand, causing the subtle spiritual energy to transform into countless specks of light that eventually drifted away into the night sky.

"Hey, you old pervert!"

Ye Yuchan's rather dissatisfied voice came from beside her: "Are you really that comfortable leaving Ruoxue to cultivate alone in a place like this?"

"Of course I'm at ease. In fact, I would be more worried if it were anywhere else."

"Huh?" Ye Yuchan felt like her brain was really not working properly.

He pointed to the ground and asked, "Where is this?"

This is such a stupid question...

Without a second thought, Ye Yuchan replied, "The Netherworld."
