Chapter 513: Soak Ye Tian?
Divine Martial Mountain, towering thousands of feet high and reaching the clouds, adorned in a blanket of shimmering white snow, looked exceptionally beautiful as the morning sun shone down upon it.
At the foot of the mountain, three individuals dressed in thin clothing attracted the attention of many passersby.
"Another one seeking the path, I bet. It's not easy to enter the Divine Martial Mountain."
"Up there are all Immortals."
"Mommy, are there really flying Immortals in this world??"
"Of course, I can fly while holding you, Little Fairy."
Snow was falling heavily, and a young woman happily played with a porcelain doll, breaking the stillness of the scene.
"Gurgle gurgle~~~"
"Yum, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I want more."
Xiaozi squinted her eyes as she clung to Ye Tian's arm, pouting cutely.
"It does taste pretty good."
Ye Tian nodded. He hadn't tasted such a delicious pancake roll in a long time. As he reached into the bag, he said, "You want more? Here, I'll get another for my little glutton!"
But when he moved his hand around, all he got was an empty, crinkling sound.
Looking down, he saw that where there had been three or four pancake rolls just moments ago, the bag was now empty.
He awkwardly shook the empty bag, glancing at Xiaozi, and found himself in a quandary. "It looks like they're all gone..."
Poof! Xiaozi couldn't help but laugh, pouting exaggeratedly as she said, "What should we do then? Xiaozi is so hungry; I need to grow stronger."
Ye Tian: "..."
Since this girl learned to stand, stomping her feet and acting spoiled became routine—it was just... too... too cute.
Ye Tian could only look back at Fang Qintian, who was holding two pancake rolls, his mouth covered in oil, making it clear he had eaten quite a bit.
"Gulp~~~~"
Seeing Ye Tian's gaze, Fang Qintian swallowed the two pancake rolls in one big bite, burped contentedly, and looked at him innocently.
Ye Tian broke into a cold sweat. I'm not going to steal your food! Was there any need for such hurry? It's like you haven't eaten in ages!!
"Brother Xiao Tian, hurry up, Xiaozi is so hungry."
"I can smell another one in your hand."
Xiaozi stretched out a finger from her sleeve, pointing at Ning Xuan as she said, "Can I have a bite, just a small one?"
Before Ye Tian could react, the half-eaten pancake roll in his hand was already taken.
Xiaozi pulled her scarf to her left ear, her eyes squinting into crescents as she brought the pancake roll to her cherry-red mouth, leaving a faint reddish lip mark right where Ye Tian had bitten.
Ye Tian laughed as he pinched her nose, "You really are a little glutton, but you're still so slender—any more and you'd be too plump, any less and you'd be too thin, making all the women in the world envious."
Such a close encounter with a breathtaking beauty. Even though her eyes were gray and colorless, her heart was open and pure.
"Brother Xiao Tian, here, I'm full now."
Xiaozi said, chewing her cheeks slightly, extending a finger to wipe the oil from the corner of her mouth, "You don't mind my saliva on it, right?"
"Of course not, you can have all of it."
Ye Tian shook his head gently, looking at her with warmth as he handed the pancake roll back to her.
"No, you eat it."
Xiaozi quickly placed it back into Ye Tian's hand, raising her head with a little expectation and plea in her tone, her face somehow turning rosy.
Girls' thoughts are elusive—she said she was very hungry just now, but after a few bites, she's full. Really now....
"Alright then, I'll eat it."
Ye Tian awkwardly smiled, looking at the faint reddish lip print, then at Xiaozi's bashful expression. His face turned a bit unnatural as he took a bite.
"Hmm, I've finished it." Ye Tian finished the pancake roll in two or three bites and, pointing at the magnificent Divine Martial Mountain, said, "Xiaozi, once your eyes are healed, I'll take you around the beautiful landscapes of Huaxia."
"Okay." Xiaozi's voice was as soft as a whisper, holding onto her clothes, "Brother, did we just have an indirect kiss?"
"Brother? Why aren't you talking?"
Ye Tian: "..."
This Xiaozi, she's no longer pure, purposely setting me up?
"Ahem, Xiaozi, who taught you that?"
Ye Tian asked softly.
"It was... it was Grandma Qian Xunyue. She said you wouldn't kiss me directly, so I should look for an indirect opportunity...."
Xiaozi became more embarrassed, her face turning even redder, making her even more charming.
It turned out to be Grandma Qian Xunyue who taught Xiaozi this—no wonder, as a woman who had mingled in the mortal world, she knew these things.
"Hey, they're coming."
Ye Tian didn't know how to respond as he saw two rays of light descending from Divine Martial Mountain.
Fang Qintian's eyes flickered with light, squinted as he looked up, and his Fangtian Halberd was ready for action, murmuring, "I didn't expect strong people of the Primordial Martial Realm here. No wonder this is the force cultivated by the Young Master."
The two who arrived were none other than King You and Elder Jian.
Seeing Ye Tian, their bodies shook, their eyes filled with excitement, and they knelt down, "Greetings Pavilion Master."
"Alright, we know each other well, so let's skip the formalities."
Ye Tian waved his hand helplessly, seeing their bowing behavior. It was something decided by the Divine Martial Pavilion's Heaven Pavilion Elders; he didn't like it much, but couldn't refuse their goodwill.
"Pavilion Master, you came back! I missed you so much."
"During the days you were gone, I couldn't eat or sleep well. I was so overwhelmed."
As soon as Elder Jian saw Ye Tian, he started complaining like a child, making several amusing facial expressions.
"Elder Jian, don't... don't act like that. I'm straight."
Ye Tian pulled Xiaozi back a step, looking warily at Elder Jian, who could be his grandfather.
"Wow, Pavilion Master has another beauty by his side. Congratulations, what joyous news."
Elder Jian smiled sheepishly, his eyes showing amazement as he gazed at Xiaozi, quickly switching to flattering someone else.
Meanwhile, King You and the Sea Suppressing Dragon General Fang Qintian exchanged fiery glances, like sparks flying in the air, full of fighting spirit.
"Alright, alright, let's talk as we go up."
"If others see the Divine Martial Pavilion elders acting so comically, where would our image be?"
Ye Tian snorted coldly, interrupting the silent clash between King You and Fang Qintian, dragging Xiaozi into the air.
"Alright, Pavilion Master, wait for me."
Elder Jian stroked his beard and quickly followed, as did King You and Fang Qintian.
In the vast clouds of Divine Martial Mountain, several pairs of eyes watched the diligent disciples practicing their martial arts.
"Very good, the disciples of Divine Martial Pavilion have made significant progress over the years."
Ye Tian said with full praise, observing the spirited disciples whose cultivation levels had increased considerably since his last visit, something that couldn't have been achieved without the elders' efforts.
"Of course, I have been dedicated."
"However, King You and Senior Xue Kuang contributed the most, providing us with numerous cultivation techniques and martial arts."
Elder Jian's face blossomed with pride.
King You also had a beaming smile, as being praised by Ye Tian was better than a breakthrough in cultivation.
"Wan'er, how did you manage to win over the Pavilion Master? Tell Sister Mo."
"I won't tell anyone else."
A melodious voice reached their ears, causing Elder Jian and King You's smiles to immediately fade.
