In the Fifth Summit’s mystic realm.

  Jiang Lan put away the Water Repelling Pearl. It should be useless to him.

  If his strength was weak, he might need the Water Repelling Pearl in the future. But as a late-stage Human Immortal, he did not need such a thing.

  There shouldn’t be anything in the outskirts of the maze that he needed.

  The only special thing about this treasure was that Xiao Yu was the one who had given it to him.

  But it was nothing much too.

  Xiao Yu had given him many things. The gift that had the greatest meaning was probably the recording Dharma treasure.

  A recording of Xiao Yu’s bathing scene.

  Looking up, Xiao Yu was still stepping on the water like a child.

  However, in the Jade Pool, Xiao Yu probably wouldn’t play like this, right?

  For a moment, Jiang Lan was a little confused. If Xiao Yu did the same thing at the Jade Pool, what would he see in the Goddess Diagram?

  A dragon slapping the water with its claws?

  He couldn’t think of an answer.

  Then, he stopped thinking and looked at Xiao Yu.

  “Senior Sister, do you know when this trip in the mystic realm will end?”


  “Ten days to half a month at most.” Xiao Yu jumped before answering Jiang Lan.

  Half a month was a little long, but it didn’t affect anything.

  Jiang Lan nodded and looked at Xiao Yu.

  He had no intention of reading. It was not polite for him to do so.

  After playing for a while more, Xiao Yu came before Jiang Lan and said.

  “Is Junior Brother free?”


  “A little.” Jiang Lan nodded.

  He would not play on water like Xiaoyu, nor was he able to read. Naturally, he would be free.

  “Do you still have the Dragon Language book I gave you?” Xiao Yu asked as she sat opposite Jiang Lan.

  “Since I’m free now too, I shall teach Junior Brother how to write Dragon Language.”


  Jiang Lan was silent.

  “Dragon language is not easy to write. It is normal for your words to be ugly in the beginning.” Xiao Yu added.

  Seeing Xiao Yu’s serious expression, Jiang Lan could only nod.

  He was indeed quite free.

  He was still observing the three juniors from his party. There were no problems at the moment.

  Three days later.

  “You’re a fast learner, but…” Xiao Yu looked at the handwriting and found it hard to explain.

  “It’s fine, you can start learning from scratch. Why don’t you start from the basics and write your name first? Then after that, try writing my name. ”


  “Okay.” Jiang Lan nodded.

  Another three days.

  “Junior Brother, our starting point might be too high. Let’s start from the beginning.

  When I was a kid, I learned how to write from the very basics. I started with ordinary strokes, before venturing into writing numbers. Only after that did I start writing more complicated words.

  Junior Brother’s perceptivity is high. It will definitely be very easy. “Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Lan’s writing on the ground and felt that she had to start teaching Jiang Lan from the very basics.

  She needed to solve the problem from its root.

  Jiang Lan didn’t say anything. He merely nodded.

  Another three days passed.

  Under Xiao Yu’s guidance, Jiang Lan studied for nine days.

  These nine days were not all about learning.

  Occasionally, Xiao Yu would run around and Jiang Lan would follow her.

  But most of the time, she would teach him and watch him learn how to read and write.

  After nine days, Xiao Yu opened her eyes wide and stared at Jiang Lan as if she wanted to see through his mind.

  “Junior Brother, are you doing it on purpose?” Xiao Yu asked.

  These few days were the longest they had spent together.

  Previously, they had met once every three years, and now, they had spent nine days together. This was equivalent to twenty-seven years’ worth of time together in the past.

  Furthermore, they were together throughout the nine days and did not separate at all.

  Hence, their relationship was much smoother than before. There was not much estrangement between them now.

  Jiang Lan lowered his eyebrows. He looked at his own words and felt that Xiao Yu was not teaching him seriously.

  Shouldn’t it be the teacher’s problem if he couldn’t learn it well?

  He wished he had done it on purpose.

  Xiao Yu sat opposite Jiang Lan, her hands resting on her cheeks as if she was thinking.

  “Senior sister, what are you thinking about?” Jiang Lan asked curiously.

  “How long do you want me to be your teacher?” Xiao Yu looked at the words and asked.

  “If Junior Brother learns for a lifetime, I’ll have to teach for a lifetime.”


  “There’s no need to learn for so long,” Jiang Lan said calmly.

  He was about to become a True Immortal. As a True Immortal, he should be able to learn faster.

  Besides, he felt that it was not that difficult to spend some time learning how to write.

  It was likely because he was learning the Dragon Race’s language that it was harder.

  Xiao Yu rested her chin on her hands and lifted her head to look at Jiang Lan with a smile in her eyes.

  “That’s fine too. We have so much time anyway. There’s no rush. If you need a lifetime to learn it, I will teach you for a lifetime.”


  Jiang Lan was stunned. For a moment, he felt that Xiao Yu was exceptionally good to him.

  Ever since he started cultivating, he had never had any other thoughts. All his attention was on cultivating.

  Emotions were a burden to him.

  Getting engaged to Xiao Yu could be considered a mission from the sect, but he would not do it half-heartedly.

  He would not turn a blind eye to Xiao Yu’s good intentions and would work hard to respond.

  He wanted to let everything go well as well.

  Xiao Yu was indeed beautiful.

  However, Jiang Lan did not think that Xiao Yu’s beauty would affect his cultivation.

  However, after spending some time together, he felt that Xiao Yu was better than he had imagined.

  If this continued, he did not know how he would view Xiaoyu.

  “Junior Brother, what are you thinking about again?” Xiao Yu’s voice was heard.

  “I’m thinking about Senior Sister. You’re doing better than I expected.” Jiang Lan directly stated his thoughts.

  Under the sunlight, Xiao Yu smiled and jumped up.

  “Junior Brother is also very good, but what did you think of me in the past?”


  Xiao Yu was pretty curious about this.

  Beautiful, aloof, and a busybody.

  “Looking at Junior Brother’s eyes, it doesn’t seem like a good evaluation.” Xiao Yu bent down and looked into Jiang Lan’s eyes.

  Jiang Lan didn’t feel anything special when he saw Xiao Yu bending over. Xiaoyu was still a young girl.

  If she had been in her normal form…


  Perhaps he would feel that something was wrong.

  “I feel like Senior Sister is a serious person,” Jiang Lan said calmly.

  That was how it was.

  The ordinary Senior Sister Ao gave off the feeling of silence and coldness.

  However, she would try her best to fulfill her duties.

  Jiang Lan had seen it before.

  He remembered that Xiao Yu’s neck must have been injured at that time. That injury might still be there.

  However, it would disappear under normal circumstances.

  “Hmph!” Xiao Yu stuck out her tongue at Jiang Lan and made a funny face.

  It was as if she was dissatisfied with Jiang Lan’s words.

  She knew how to laugh.

  Jiang Lan didn’t refute. It was true.

  His Senior Sister in this form was not only easy to get along with, she was also very cheerful.

  It was completely different from before.

  If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it.

  After she was done with making a funny face, Xiao Yu blinked her big eyes and whispered.

  “Junior Brother, practice your calligraphy. I’ll go catch fish in the lake.”


  With that, Xiao Yu headed towards the lake.

  After entering the lake, Xiao Yu turned into a white dragon.

  It seemed like she was going to go to the bottom of the lake to catch one.

  With Jiang Lan’s late-stage Human Immortal senses, he knew that there was no danger in the lake.

  Hence, Xiaoyu was safe.

  Only then did Jiang Lan continue to write his words, somewhat absent-minded.

  He was thinking about what would happen after he left.

  If the demons wanted to use special methods to deal with the Netherworld’s Entrance, he needed to be prepared.

  If he could become a True Immortal as soon as possible, he would be able to face the demons more easily.

  He felt that being a Human Immortal was insufficient.

  Decades ago, he had killed demons. According to the information he had obtained at that time, the demons had already sent Human Immortals to Kunlun.

  This time, the scale was larger than last time. There should be at least True Immortals.

  He might not even be able to handle it.

  He still needed to become stronger.

  He decided to go into seclusion after he left the mystic realm.

  He hoped that there would be nothing special going on over the next few years.
