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

His hypothesis was refuted.

This is similar to Conan deducing for a long time, eliminating all possibilities, and finally concluding that the culprit is actually Kogoro Mouri...

There was an unexpected and strange sense of frustration.

"Ugh……"

Yunping sighed helplessly and shook his head. He looked up at the gradually melting ice of the Northern Ice Palace on the horizon, and a heavy weight was lifted from his heart.

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard Ye Yuchan calling from inside Jingli Abyss.

"You old scoundrel! Have you finished yet? Luo Kui seems to be awake!"

"Alright, alright... don't rush me."

Returning to his usual lazy demeanor, Yun Ping flashed and instantly arrived at the bottom of the Jingli Abyss.

Surrounded by an empty cave, on a huge platform, lay the members of Yuntian Academy lying haphazardly.

Ye Yuchan remained in a duck-sitting position, slumped on the ground, her face still pale with lingering fear.

Yunping glanced at Ye Yuchan, whose injuries weren't too serious, and then turned his gaze to Fan Luokui, whom he had knocked unconscious earlier.

now.

The cherry-haired shrine maiden was lying on the ground, her lips moving slightly. Although she seemed to be about to wake up, Yunping checked her over and found that Luo Kui was still in a half-asleep state.

The girl seemed to want to say something, her lips kept moving.

The old rogue leaned closer and overheard something.

It was discovered that Fan Luokui was muttering only three words—

"Pole dancing..."

……

……

Ye Yuchan's expression suddenly changed: "This has nothing to do with me. I was just talking nonsense."

Yunping rolled his eyes at this silly person, then said irritably, "What are you still sitting there for? Get up quickly, it's over, it's time to head home."

"That's what they say..."

Ye Yuchan's pretty face flushed slightly. She turned her face away, not daring to look at Yun Ping, and spoke very softly: "But I feel like I'm exhausted... I can't walk."

Speaking of this, for some reason, Ye Yuchan suddenly recalled the scene of Yunping and Ye Xuanqiu talking above.

A strange itch stirred within me, as if an indescribable emotion was constantly churning within my heart.

She didn't dare look at Yunping, and instead blushed, whispered, "Why don't you just carry me back..."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Ye Yuchan was dumbfounded.

Why did she suddenly say something like that!

If it were the old her, this would have been just a thought that kept swirling in her head, something she would never have said aloud, even if she died.

Although the voice was very soft, it was actually said aloud...

Could it be that he was provoked by Ye Xuanqiu?

Seeing a woman who looks exactly like him calling an old rogue "husband" and such...

Ye Yuchan's mind became increasingly confused, and her pretty face flushed even more. Still not daring to look at the old rogue, she quickly changed her tune: "I... I was just saying it casually, there's no need, no..."

Before she could finish speaking...

A pair of hands, not particularly strong but steady and powerful, enveloped her frail body and lifted her into the air with ease.

"Eh?!?!"

Ye Yuchan was so startled she almost screamed, only to realize that Yunping had indeed pulled her into his arms without saying a word.

"No, you old scoundrel, you..."

"how?"

Yunping glanced at the silver-haired maid in his arms, who seemed to be struggling but had little strength, and teased, "Didn't you say I should carry you? If you don't want to, walk back yourself."

"Going back isn't out of the question..." Ye Yuchan said, blushing.

Upon hearing this, Yunping immediately nodded: "Oh, then you can go back."

After speaking, he was about to put Ye Yuchan down.

She'd only gotten halfway through the action when Ye Yuchan angrily bumped her forehead against the old rogue's shoulder, saying irritably, "Why are you so clueless? You just listen to whatever I say?"

Yun Ping slowly stopped putting Ye Yuchan down. He grinned at Ye Yuchan and said, "Didn't you say you were going to walk back?"

"I……"

Yun Ping's gaze made Ye Yuchan's heart race. She quickly coughed twice and turned her face away, saying, "I was just saying... why are you taking it so seriously?"

"So you want me to carry you back?"

"..."

Ye Yuchan feigned displeasure and pouted, then whispered, "Well... it's not impossible."

"Just consider it a little, a little... just a small discount for you..."

At this point, Ye Yuchan suddenly thought of something: "Right, it would be best to charge a fee, five million per minute?"

Yunping was silent for a second, then made a move to throw the girl out.

Startled, Ye Yuchan quickly hugged Yun Ping, her face flushing red, but she still wouldn't let it go: "No, no, no... three million?"

Yunping continued to shake the girl's body, as if he was about to throw her out at any moment.

"One million? Five hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand?"

Seeing that the old rogue still wouldn't stop, Ye Yuchan could only helplessly lower her head:

"Fine! If you don't want the money, then you don't want the money... Honestly, you're so stingy."

Yun Ping rolled his eyes at the girl and said, "It's good enough that I didn't tie you to the flying sword flight. Why are you making so many demands?"

It was at this time that...

The two heard other people's voices nearby.

"Um, teacher... Junior Sister Yu Chan... could you two please calm down for a bit and check on the other people's situation?"

Gu Xingzhuo lay silently on the ground, his expression one of utter helplessness.

Jiang Shaoguang, lying on the ground, weakly raised his right hand and said, "I agree... If you guys keep showing off, Lao Si and I might have to go first..."

These words were spoken.

It was as if they were responding to a summons.

Fan Luokui suddenly sat up from the ground.

Surprisingly, she was still in a semi-conscious state, with her eyes closed and her lips slightly parted.

"Pole dancing..."

After uttering three strange words, it lay back down.

Everyone: "..."

For some reason, Jiang Shaoguang suddenly felt that he, who had finally escaped the shadow of the "duel", might very well have to keep postponing things again because of some incident called "pole dancing".

62. Don't even think about taking a holiday!

Thus, the matter of the Far Eastern Snowfield finally came to an end.

This land, which had endured countless storms and blizzards, ultimately survived by sheer luck.

Whether it was the terrifyingly lethal Dragon Cough virus or the frozen Northern Ice Palace, everything came to a complete end after the departure of Ye Xuanqiu, the culprit.

Although it still took quite some time to bring the Ice Palace down from the sky and place it in a relatively safe location—

Hanyin City also began reconstruction, and there were no casualties in the thawed North Ice Palace. Mad Dragon Jue An also rested in peace.

It seems that everything is starting to move in a positive direction.

"So much happened during the time it was frozen..."

Arctic Palace.

Main hall.

Fang Qingzhu, looking weak, sighed helplessly. Although she was still sitting in the position of palace master, her demeanor had long lost its former majesty. Because of the previous attack by the mad dragon, she had done her best to protect the North Ice Palace. She was only able to survive because Ye Xuanqiu was still useful in the North Ice Palace.

Because her consciousness and soul were in a coma during the freezing process, it was like she had a long dream. When she woke up, she saw a young man in white standing in front of her with a smile.

Although the old rogue had changed his body and was different from when they last met, Fang Qingzhu still recognized at a glance that the guy with the unique and annoying smile was her cheap older brother.

Fang Qingzhu rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache, and then looked at Yun Ping, who was sitting in front of her with his legs crossed and looking nonchalant. She couldn't help but ask, "The Northern Ice Palace didn't seem to have suffered much loss. What did Lord Yin Hanxue Bing say?"

"It seems they've already started trying to dispel the remaining Dragon Cough virus... That stuff is extremely dangerous. Even though Ye Xuanqiu has taken the heart away, if the remaining aura leaks out, it will still be a threat to the Northern Ice Palace."

At this point, Yunping glanced at Fang Qingzhu again and said jokingly, "Speaking of which, it's been decades since we last met, how come you're still only at the Void Realm... Our family members have all already reached the Saint Realm."

"Tsk."

Fang Qingzhu gets angry whenever this is mentioned.

She rolled her eyes at Yunping and said irritably, "I don't have that ability, okay? You just talk too much... If the disciples you teach can't even cross over to sainthood, that would be truly shameful."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan and Jiang Shaoguang, who were standing next to them, couldn't help but straighten up—their expressions were incredibly awkward.

It seems that Yunping has only been back for a short time, and Zhang Ruoxue, Gu Xingzhuo, and Fan Luokui have already achieved sainthood. Although the way these three achieved sainthood was quite dramatic, they have all reached the realm of saints.

They had no way of knowing the cultivation level of the bald senior brother and the light bulb junior sister. At present, the only ones in Yuntian Academy who had not yet reached the Saint level were the two of them, Xiao Jiang, and Yuan'er.

It seems a bit embarrassing...

The one who felt the most impacted was Ye Yuchan. This girl used to be able to fight Zhang Ruoxue to a standstill, but now she's consistently getting beaten up by Ruoxue. If she says something wrong, she might get a beating, and she might suffer even more at night...

Seeing that Yunping remained silent, Fang Qingzhu did not want to discuss this sad topic any further, and instead asked, "Speaking of which, how is Luo Kui?"
