I Want to be More Prim and Proper

Mu Yu tucked Tian Ran in after carefully rolling out of bed, ensuring he would not wake her up. Mu Yu offered Xiaoshuai a snack so that the latter would spend the night at Village Chief Bu’s place for the night. Mu Yu went to sit on a rock at the tallest peak at Formation Sect to peer eastward, soaking up the warm sunrays as he ran through Dustfallen Mental Cultivation.

“Oh, damn, jumped all the way to Ascension Realm Fourth Layer overnight after sleeping with Tian Ran.”

“Why did you choose to develop your relationship with her when you’ve prepared yourself to lose your life? Don’t you find yourself selfish?” impugned Ju Mang.

“What do you reckon the correct decision was, then?”

“You should leave her so that she can find someone who loves her more than you do.”

“Nobody loves her more than I do – minus her parents.”

“You certainly don’t sound like you’re prioritising her over yourself. If you like her, you need to learn to push her away. Ruthlessness now will be kindness in the future.”

“That’s silly logic. She has no shoulder to lean on right now. If I push her away, where will she go, wander around until Third Heaven Palace kidnaps her? After I rescue Shifu and Dad, they will take care of her on my behalf. I can leave her side once she has someone to take care of her. Everyone will have to say their goodbyes sooner or later. Until then, I want to do what I can for her and enjoy what time we have together.”

“... That still doesn’t justify what you did with her. You’ve given her hope.”

“Why do you have so much to say about it? I blocked your consciousness out last night, didn’t I?”

“I share your body! I wasn’t even given a heads up before you decided to oppress me!”

Mu Yu gently ran his hand along the gap in the rock, brushing the plant that had grown despite the harsh weather. “Haha, I guess that’s the difference between you and I,” Mu Yu stated, thinking, I know I only have feelings toward Qiao Xue because of you and Xuan Ming. Otherwise, I only like Tian Ran.

Upon returning to Formation Palace, Village Chief Bu, who was eating a clay oven roll he prepared himself for breakfast, waved Mu Yu over. “Xiaoshuai told me about last night. Youth sure is prime time, hahaha.”

“Hehe, be humble, Grandpa. Be humble...” Mu Yu dipped a piece of bread in soy bean milk to eat, then went over to kick the bed Xiaoshuai was still snoring on. “Breakfast is ready!”

“Present! Present!” Xiaoshuai bolted over, almost tripping over. “Old Fraud’s gray oben bwed (clay oven bread) is nice.”

“I just feel... a bit uneasy. My parents’ whereabouts are unknown, and I don’t want to lose even you.”

Mu Yu assured Tian Ran with a hand hold, “You won’t. I’ll take care of you until we find your parents.”

“About last night...”

“We shared a beautiful dream.”

Xiaoshuai declared, “I’m sharing a bed with Sister Tian Ran tonight. You can sleep on the ground, Mu Yu.”

“Get out of here.”

“Everywhere is Home Inn” in Pill City, which was closed after Daoist Yuande was attacked, finally opened up again in recent days and announced Pill Cauldron Sect had nine rank seven pills, a hundred rank six pills and a thousand rank five pills for ultimate immortals who contributed to the resistance against elemental demons – under the condition that the ultimate immortals showed up at Ultimate Immortals Monument on 8th October to decide on the nine mystic immortals.

The promotion and conditions led to cultivators pouring to the inn in hopes of obtaining more information to support their hopes of procuring a pill. Sadly for them, the proprietor did not have as much information as they hoped because he was only in charge of following instructions.

Another two cities had fallen, and the majority of the injured were members of the eight great sects, compelling cultivators to distance themselves from the eight great sects and advocate the movement to select the nine mystic immortals.
