A month later.

  The sun shone on the courtyard of the Ninth Summit.

  Jiang Lan and Xiao Yu were walking in the peach forest. They were heading outside.

  Jiang Lan’s hand still had quite a few scratches.

  Although it was not as obvious as before, it was not that fine either.

  “Junior Brother, you have to think of something.” Xiao Yu laughed.

  It was as if she was not worried at all.

  She tried very hard, but…


  She still couldn’t control her dragon transformation process.

  Jiang Lan didn’t say anything. This dragon made things difficult.

  He had suffered many injuries in the past month, but there were no obvious results.

  He felt rather helpless.

  He did not mind.

  They were all superficial wounds.

  As for the method, he had indeed thought of it, but the effect was minimal.

  They still needed to slowly work things out.

  There was no rush. The future was long.

  Since his Senior Sister was unable to control it, he did not mind.

  Recently, the number of dragon scales that appeared on her had been decreasing. Although his hands could still transform into dragons and his dragon horns could also grow out.

  But it was harmless.

  It was just some injuries.

  “Senior Sister, you can read more books. It’ll be easier for you to calm down,” Jiang Lan said on the way.

  Sometimes, he would just read to remain calm.

  But most of the time, he would choose to clean the Ninth Summit instead.

  The more ordinary something was, the easier it was for people to calm down.

  “If I do so, will I become like Junior Brother, reclusive and taciturn, like a reclusive elder?” Xiao Yu jumped in front of Jiang Lan and retreated.

  Her gaze was naturally on Jiang Lan.

  “Senior Sister is thinking too much,” Jiang Lan replied.

  It was not that exaggerated.

  The reason why he gave his Senior Sister the feeling that he was an old man was because he was a human.

  He was already six hundred years old.

  He was not exactly young anymore.

  As for his Senior Sister, she had just reached adulthood.

  When he first met his Senior Sister, she was actually still a baby dragon.

  Now…


  He glanced at Xiao Yu and still felt the same.

  She had grown taller, but her personality had not changed.

  “I can’t be led astray by Junior Brother. Otherwise, we’ll be staring at each other for an entire day.” Xiao Yu came to Jiang Lan’s side and placed her hands behind her back as she spoke seriously.

  “When I’m not here, will Junior Brother resume your routine of cultivation?” Xiao Yu asked.

  “En, I will continue to cultivate until Senior Sister returns,” Jiang Lan replied softly.

  Xiao Yu smiled.

  Below the Ninth Summit.

  Xiao Yu stood in front of Jiang Lan and said.

  “Junior Brother, close your eyes.”


  Jiang Lan: “…”


  Before he could close his eyes, Xiao Yu’s hand once again covered his gaze. Then, he felt Xiao Yu move closer to his mouth.

  He touched it lightly.

  “Look, I didn’t transform.

  Junior Brother still has some credit. “As Xiao Yu spoke, she lowered her hand.

  Jiang Lan saw that Xiao Yu didn’t transform into a dragon and seemed to have become used to such an act.

  Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw that Xiao Yu was unable to hold it in.

  Hua la!

  She immediately returned to his normal appearance.

  Jiang Lan was silent.

  It was true that she hadn’t dragonize.

  “Remember the rule of fair trade. Junior Brother now has to bring me a present when you go out.” A clear and pleasant voice reached Jiang Lan’s ears.

  After he agreed, Ao Longyu rode her sword towards the Jade Pool.

  “I’ll be back in a few days.”


  Not long after, Jiang Lan saw Xiao Yu vanish from his field of vision.

  It was indeed not suitable for Xiao Yu to stay in the Ninth Summit for long.

  The Netherworld Aura would bring her a lot of trouble.

  It had been a month.

  “Looks like I need to find a time to build a wooden house in the Jade Pool.”


  Jiang Lan thought.

  He would have to go up for some time.

  A wooden house similar to the Netherworld Cave would do.

  It was easy to repair and build.

  It wouldn’t take months to build a house like the one in the courtyard.

  …


  In the courtyard, Jiang Lan watered the vegetative egg with some spirit liquid.

  He began to walk towards the Netherworld Cave.

  It was still early, but he had been reading recently.

  He could indeed cultivate now.

  He and Xiao Yu had absorbed the gifts from his master. They were still useful for their advancement.

  It was just that it was more useful to Xiao Yu than to him.

  But it could still aid him in his cultivation.

  Right now, he just wanted to see how long it would take before he absorbed all of the benefits.

  After he started cultivating, Jiang Lan returned to his previous routine.

  He would cultivate at night, and study and clean the courtyard during the day.

  The passage of time was rather ordinary to him. It was like flowing water that sounded from the bottom of his heart, but it did not wake him up. Instead, he was immersed in it.

  Only when he saw Xiao Yu would he be able to walk out of his training state.

  Three months was fast for him.

  During this period, Xiao Yu visited.

  Due to the aura of the Netherworld, she could not stay for that long, but she did not stay for just a day like before they got married.

  It did not affect his cultivation.

  Morning.

  Jiang Lan woke up from his cultivation.

  He had absorbed all the benefits.

  His golden body had reached a new height, and his advancement was now closer.

  If it had been forty years before, it would only be thirty years now.

  It was very impressive.

  …


  After walking out of the Netherworld Cave.

  Jiang Lan felt that the sun was scorching hot.

  After absorbing the benefits he had gotten from the marriage, he could also rest for a while.

  However, Xiao Yu did not come down today.

  After some thought, he decided to make a trip to the Jade Pool to build a small wooden house.

  There were not many restrictions when he went to the Jade Pool, and there were too many restrictions when his Senior Sister came to the Ninth Summit.

  Amongst them, the most severe was naturally the aura of the Netherworld.

  His Senior Sister could leave the Jade Pool for a longer time, but she could not stay in the Ninth Summit for long.

  With this thought in mind, Jiang Lan flew up on his sword.

  He headed to the Jade Pool.

  The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and there was a gentle breeze.

  It reduced the heat.

  After a while.

  In front of the Jade Pool.

  After reminding Xiao Yu, the path to the Jade Pool opened.

  The Jade Pool was extremely special. If outsiders wanted to enter, they would need the Jade Pool Goddess’ permission.

  Other than the Goddess, there was basically no one who could step onto the Jade Pool.

  Jiang Lan relied on the engagement to go up.

  If others wanted to step onto the Jade Pool, they would have to fight against the entire Kunlun.

  In just a few breaths’ time, Jiang Lan saw a beautiful woman standing at the edge of the Jade Pool.

  She had long black hair and a calm expression on her face. It was as if there was a type of coldness that appeared on her body, making her seem distant.

  When Jiang Lan approached, the aura that repelled people a thousand miles away disappeared from Ao Longyu’s body.

  Jiang Lan landed in front of Ao Longyu. Ao Longyu looked at Jiang Lan without saying a word.

  A moment later, Ao Longyu took out a wooden sword and handed it to Jiang Lan.

  “Junior Brother, you forgot about this last time.”


  Jiang Lan: “…”


  In the past, he would embed the wooden sword with his sword intent at night, but recently, he had to help his Senior Sister get used to not transforming into a dragon at night.

  After receiving the wooden sword, Ao Longyu immediately transformed into Xiao Yu. She jumped up and laughed.

  “Why did Junior Brother suddenly run up here?

  Did you think of a way to help me? ”


  “Not yet.” Jiang Lan shook his head, then sat at the side and started his task.

  Xiao Yu jumped to Jiang Lan’s side and sat down.

  She placed her hands on the rock and shook her feet. She smiled at Jiang Lan.

  “Junior Brother, I suddenly realized something.”


  “What is it?” Jiang Lan asked Xiaoyu.

  “I think we’re husband and wife now, so I’ll—” Her eyes narrowed with amusement.

  “Can I call you my husband now?”
