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

"No way," Ye Yuchan quickly retorted, "I'm behaving very well now, have I caused any trouble lately?"

Yunping glanced at the silver-haired girl sitting in the wheelchair and thought to himself, "You're just not lucky. If you didn't have this wheelchair, you'd be lucky to escape to heaven."

After all, Ye Yuchan was probably the most restless of all the disciples.

Seeing that Yun Ping didn't answer, Ye Yuchan chuckled and then asked, "Then, what is this Yang Que Ying Huo...?"

"He belongs to the type who is too arrogant and too lonely. If you have to say, he chose a completely different path from Yin Hanxue and the others."

"Oh~"

Ye Yuchan roughly understood, "Self-illness, right?"

The old rogue's face darkened, and he silently came behind Ye Yuchan, made fists with both hands, and delivered a lightning-fast venomous strike to the girl's temples.

"It hurts..."

Amidst the silver-haired girl's cries of pain, Yunping seemed to want to expel all the jumbled thoughts from her head. "I think I must have corrupted you. Look at your junior sisters, which one of them has a brain full of mush like yours?"

"Ruoxue! Her brain is even more mush than mine!"

Yunping smirked: "I've remembered those words. I'll tell Ruoxue exactly what they said another day."

"Hmph~" Ye Yuchan snorted coldly, then muttered under her breath, "Anyway, Ruoxue can't beat me..."

……

It seems Yunping needs to think of a way to discipline this girl.

That being said, Ye Yuchan is not wrong.

"If I had to put it in a way, I'd say he was misanthropic." Yunping slowly released his hands, tilted his head back, and looked up at the top of the palace that reached the clouds. "Yang Que Yinghuo's personality wasn't very good, and he wasn't a creator at all. In that void before the ancient era, he didn't choose to try to create life like the other extremes."

"Because he felt that the creatures he created were inferior and not worth cultivating. Even if they were cultivated, they should be slaves."

"Ugh..." Ye Yuchan made a disgusted expression, "He's just like some monarchs from the old days..."

"I suppose so. It's because of this arrogance that he's always been disliked by the other extremes. To be honest, I've only met him a few times, but he's been quite nice to me."

How could it not be good?

Ye Yuchan thought to herself, if someone treats you badly, and you slap them so hard they're half-paralyzed, wouldn't that be utterly discredited? You'd practically throw away all your dignity from the Blackwater Abyss.

"But it's not his fault."

Yunping suddenly sighed, as if he were quite moved.

"After all, no matter who it is, after living for countless years, everyone will feel a sense of loneliness. It's just that he has a lot of pride too."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan looked up at Yun Ping's profile.

As always, it was as bland as water.

But for some reason, this calmness caused Ye Yuchan a subtle heartache.

She hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and asked softly, "Then... old rogue, are you lonely? You've lived for a long time, haven't you?"

"I?"

Yunping paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Yuchan.

The figure from my memory overlapped with her again, and suddenly my vision was filled with a layer of snow white.

He shook his head, then revealed a carefree smile: "Just kidding, where would I be lonely? I still have my dear disciples with me."

"Tch~" Ye Yuchan's pretty face flushed slightly, and she snorted coldly: "I'm not going to mess around with you. Hurry up and go find that Yang Que Ying Huo."

Yunping smiled knowingly, and then led Ye Yuchan up the dazzling golden steps in front of the palace, arriving at the extremely tall crimson gate.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yunping placed his hands on the door and pushed it inward.

boom!

There were no towering flames, no scorching heat waves, only pure blackness.

Completely different from the blazing sun that hangs high in the sky outside, once you push open the door, there is absolutely no light inside, as if you have stepped into another world.

This led Ye Yuchan to mistakenly believe that the old rogue had pushed the wrong door or opened it incorrectly.

However, her naive idea was quickly shattered by an unexpected turn of events.

"Someone's coming! Someone's coming!"

From somewhere in the pitch black, a rather sharp yet childish voice rang out.

It sounded like a child's footsteps, filled with joy and excitement, accompanied by a crisp and pleasant tinkling sound.

"Who? Who is it? Have the adults returned?"

"I don't know, boss, boss, you have to go check..."

"I don't want to go alone, I want everyone to go together!"

"They must be someone from outside..."

—In the darkness, the sounds of young children talking to each other could be heard.

child?

There are even children in this place?

Ye Yuchan blinked curiously, her spiritual energy slowly gathering in her eyes. Just as she was about to take a good look at what the child in the palace looked like, fire suddenly broke out all around her.

Beams of light instantly illuminated the surroundings, and the leaping flames became the source of light, illuminating the ground floor of the palace in an instant.

Ye Yuchan looked around and found that the space was exceptionally vast, about the same size as the hall where they had dined in the capital. However, the interior decorations were pitifully sparse, and most of them were unknown rocks and some things that looked like ash.

Just then, Ye Yuchan finally saw the innocent-looking child...

boom!boom!

The ground beneath her feet began to shake violently, the terrifying tremors comparable to an 8-magnitude earthquake nearly causing Ye Yuchan to fall off her chair. The intense sound waves made Ye Yuchan instinctively use her spiritual energy to block her ears, thus preventing her eardrums from rupturing.

But this was not an earthquake, and the rumbling sound was not the sound of the ground shaking, but the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"As expected, they are outsiders! People I've never seen before!"

A rather childish and somewhat shrill voice came from the mouth of a round creature that was over ten meters tall and weighed in the tons.

—This guy doesn't look like a child at all!!

Moreover, these creatures have bright red skin with no visible blood vessels. Although they still have large limbs, their heads are not human heads, but rather the heads of rather bizarre birds...

It looks like a parrot that's eaten too much and is also related to an orange tabby cat...

Yes, a super giant parrot.

Even Yunping felt a headache coming on, thinking to himself that if this thing were in Monster Hunter, it would definitely be a monster that drops armor sets...

Ye Yuchan was almost scared out of her wits. She had seen tentacle monsters and twisted demons before. In fact, she could accept the appearance of such creatures if they didn't speak.

But why do these monsters speak in such a melodious and pleasant way, like children?

Is the guy who created this creature a surprisingly adorable character?!

"Outsiders..."

The enormous bird head slowly lowered, its crimson eyes staring at Ye Yuchan with curiosity and anticipation.

"Are you here to be our friends?"

"friend……?"

Ye Yuchan tilted her head, her voice rising several octaves in fright, and instinctively said, "No...we're here to find someone..."

"You're not here to be friends with us?"

"No... mmm..."

Before Ye Yuchan could finish speaking, Yunping flashed forward and silenced her with a kiss.

Ye Yuchan immediately wanted to remove the old rogue's hand, but Yunping gave her a meaningful look, signaling her to look ahead.

boom--

In an instant, several more creatures, nearly identical in size to the giant parrot in front of them, emerged from the distance. Their faces held a hint of anger, as if they were quite annoyed with Ye Yuchan and her companions.

Their reddish skin gradually turned a lava-like golden yellow, making them look exceptionally delicious... ugh, exceptionally terrifying.

The parrot-like monster that led the charge narrowed its eyes and said in a low, childish voice, "You're not here to be our friends? Outsiders?!"

Suddenly angry?!

Yunping smiled and waved his hand, "How could that be? We're here to be friends with you!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, absolutely true."

"Would you like to be our friend?"

"Extremely happy to."

Upon hearing Yunping's name, the anger on the parrots' faces vanished instantly, replaced by a remarkably gentle demeanor.

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, Ye Yuchan was nearly terrified...

Only after Yunping removed his hand from her mouth did Ye Yuchan have a chance to ask a question:

"What...what's going on?"

Yun Ping shrugged helplessly and said calmly, "These are called extreme 'friendly' people. Seeing the appearance of these monsters reminds me that there seems to be such a race."

"Extremely friendly? What does that mean?"

"It means you have to be friends with him, otherwise he will be unhappy and become very annoyed, just like he did just now."

Ye Yuchan was immediately shocked. "What kind of logic is this? You have to be friends with everyone you meet?"

"How would I know?" Yunping waved his hand, indicating that he had no knowledge in this area either.

"That……"

Thinking of this, Ye Yuchan couldn't resist her curiosity and, looking at the parrot monsters that had started chattering, quietly said something.

What if you don't want to be friends with him?

Yunping quickly answered this question.
