On the mountain path of Qingyun Sect, a young man in a dark blue Daoist robe was slowly walking up the mountain, holding a little girl's hand.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, it's still so far!" the little girl panted, her delicate baby face covered in sweat, cheeks puffed out like a baby squirrel.
The young man, Senior Brother Ouyang, stopped, looked at the sun in the sky, and after a moment's thought, said, "Don't worry, at this pace, we'll definitely reach the foot of my peak before sunset tomorrow."
"Tomorrow! Sunset tomorrow?" The little girl's face went pale. She immediately pouted and sat down on the ground, absolutely refusing to take another step forward.
The mountain path ahead wound endlessly, as if it had no end in sight.
Seeing the little girl sprawled on the bluestone slab as if playing dead, Ouyang also slowly sat down, curiously assessing his new junior sister.
In Ouyang's eyes, a panel only he could see appeared next to the little girl:
Name: Hu Tu Tu (Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox cub)
Cultivation: Core Formation Stage Five
Root Bone: 10
Charm: 7 (Minor)
Luck: 8
Music Aptitude: 10
Special Skill: Charm All Beings (Not yet unlocked)
Evaluation: This is a top-tier, underage beast-eared girl!!!
Ouyang rejoiced inwardly. Compared to those rebellious disciples on the mountain, finally, a normal beast-eared girl had arrived.
The little girl's name was Hu Tu Tu. She had just arrived at Qingyun Sect today. His master, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year, had simply given Ouyang a quick instruction before hurrying off again. Before leaving, he even let out a long sigh of relief, as if he'd gotten rid of some trouble.
And so, the scene of the two of them climbing the mountain unfolded. On one hand, Ouyang wanted to see what his master was secretly planning; on the other, he wanted to see when this new junior sister would reveal her fox tail.
That's right, the first time Ouyang saw this junior sister, he knew she wasn't human, but a Spirit Fox with an Innate Dao Body!
After all, it was impossible for him not to see the golden attribute panel next to her.
But his master, as the master of a peak in Qingyun Sect, actually took a fox demon as a disciple?
If this news were to get out, it would definitely be big news in the cultivation world!
"Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"
Hu Tu Tu glared angrily at Ouyang. This Senior Brother, despite his human appearance, had no manners at all. Even if he wasn't flying on his sword, he could at least use some Wind-element spells to help her walk.
Clearly, I'm just a little girl, yet he dragged me up this mountain path for two hours! He has absolutely no sense of cherishing a delicate girl! And this person's gaze on me is getting hotter and hotter. Could he be some kind of pervert who likes children? Is it because I'm naturally beautiful, a budding beauty who will surely be a peerless one capable of toppling kingdoms when I grow up, that this Senior Disciple Brother has already fallen for me, even while I'm still a child? Although I'm a little princess of the Fox Clan, my beauty is naturally unparalleled, but I'm only five years old now, and I absolutely don't want to be in a relationship! I, Hu Duoduo, hate Senior Disciple Brother the most! Thinking this, Hu Duoduo's eyes became wary. Like a hamster guarding its food, she clasped her hands into fists at her chest and asked again cautiously: "Senior Disciple Brother, what are you looking at?" Hearing Hu Duoduo ask again, Ouyang, who had been lost in thought, realized he had been a bit out of line. He coughed awkwardly and averted his gaze.
But Ouyang's heart was churning like rivers shifting and seas filling, as if he had just stumbled upon a massive piece of news! Good heavens, Master's surname is Hu, and this Junior Disciple Sister's surname is also Hu. Could this Junior Disciple Sister be Master's illegitimate daughter? But this Junior Disciple Sister is a fox demon with a naturally born Dao physique! Could it be— *hiss* —Master actually captured a fox? That scandalous? As expected of my Master! But if that's the case, what about all my Mistresses?!!! Even I, a transmigrator, couldn't help but sigh in shame when facing my Master, who is known as the 'romantic playboy' of the cultivation world! My Master is truly a 'blue-faced disaster'; sometimes I even have to clean up his messes for him. Now he even has a child! If those Mistresses find out, it'll be hard for them not to beat Master's dog-brain out of him! Ouyang, worried about Master's internal conflicts, felt his heart leap with joy again. With such a huge handle in his hands, what kind of excessive demands should he make? Ouyang's expression remained unchanged, but his inner ecstasy was already uncontrollable. The newly arrived Junior Disciple Sister, the old man's fatal leverage! Hehehe! Master, you wouldn't want this matter to be known by the Mistresses, would you? Thinking this, when he looked at his Junior Disciple Sister again, Ouyang once again put on a warm, smiling face and said, "Junior Disciple Sister, you've just arrived at Qingyun Sect and aren't familiar with the place yet. Your Senior Disciple Brother here is taking you to get acquainted with Qingyun Sect's paths, so you won't get lost when you go to listen to lectures on all the peaks later."
Looking at Ouyang, who had suddenly become so 'warm,' Hu Duoduo shook her head and spoke loudly: "Master already told Duoduo on the way that Qingyun Sect is one of the nine great immortal cultivation sects in the current Cultivation World. Its inner disciples number over a thousand, and its outer disciples number a hundred thousand. It controls the entire Qingyun Blessed Land, a sacred land with seventy-two peaks, and the sect's territory spans a hundred thousand kilometers! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dense, and natural treasures can be seen everywhere! Without great fortune, great blessings, and great talent, even entering the outer sect is like ascending to heaven!" Hu Duoduo recited everything about Qingyun Sect smoothly, as if she knew it like the back of her hand, making Ouyang momentarily stunned. *Qingyun Sect is that good? I thought even a dog could get in!* Ouyang slowly typed out a question mark in his mind.
I remember that year, when I first transmigrated, Master descended from the sky, crying and begging, insisting on taking me as a disciple. I even thought he was some kind of con artist from the martial world.
Ouyang had originally intended to tell Hu Tu Tu about which peaks in the Qingyun Sect were gathering places for fools, where he could freeload, and which peaks to avoid. But then, Ouyang wisely kept quiet.
After Hu Tu Tu finished speaking, Ouyang cleared his throat and said seriously, "Not bad, these are exactly what I wanted to tell you. Since you already know, I won't bother giving you a separate introduction.
Next, the most important thing I want to tell you is about our peak – and it's not just some minor situation on our small mountain!"
Seeing Ouyang's solemn expression, Hu Tu Tu also listened seriously.
After all, it was where he would be living from now on, so Hu Tu Tu naturally took it to heart.
Ouyang seriously held up a finger and said, "On our peak, besides the old man, I'm the boss!"
"Is that all?"
Hu Tu Tu looked at Ouyang's serious expression, wondering if he had misheard.
Ouyang looked at the dumbfounded Hu Tu Tu staring at him, and continued, "From now on, you'll follow me. My rules are the rules! As for the other few rebellious disciples on the peak, stay away from them; they're all crazy!"
Speaking of this, Ouyang felt a pang of deep sorrow. It was because he hadn't established his authority when those rebellious disciples first arrived at the sect, which led to him now having no experience whatsoever of being a senior disciple.
"Oh? It seems Senior Brother has a very deep prejudice against us!"
As soon as Ouyang's voice fell, a gentle voice came from behind him. Although the voice was gentle, its tone was unusually cold.
Ouyang's body stiffened. He awkwardly turned around to see a young man in a Daoist robe standing behind him.
Ouyang forced a smile onto his face and said, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Bai? You came to climb the mountain too! What a coincidence!"
