Huan Mo knew that Yun Ge had her reasons for going to the Ziling Sect. Huan Mo did not refuse; if she stayed in the Yunfu Sect, she didn’t know if she would end up killing everyone who came to discuss the Dao Companion ceremony.
In the cultivation world, to prevent conflicts between sects from harming the fundamental interests of the entire cultivation world, the locations of each sect were kept confidential. Teleportation arrays were only activated when sects needed to contact each other, usually for significant events such as centennial competitions or the opening of small realms.
In Yun Ge’s current situation, she couldn’t activate a teleportation array. Therefore, she had to rely on information purchased from Bai Shusheng and use her flying sword.
That kind of information was not exclusive to the outside world; even Qianjige has it. If it were known, Qianjige would be in trouble.
The young disciple’s body was weak and sickly. When Yun Ge left the cave, she brought out two flame beast fur blankets. She then transformed her previous flame beast fur in the storage bag into a cloak. Yun Ge, as before, added a simple hood to the cloak.
While dressing her young disciple, Yun Ge couldn’t help but sigh at her beauty.
Her face was covered by a mask, revealing only her eyes. Her gaze was enchanting, with eyes as clear as water. Her black hair spread over the pure white long-haired cloak, and the fluffy snow fell like cotton, creating a dreamy scene. Yun Ge was absent-minded as she looked at her.
Huan Mo cast a dark and meaningful glance at the distracted Yun Ge, and her lips curled up.
“Master…” When Yun Ge turned to fly on her sword, Huan Mo approached from behind and hugged Yun Ge’s waist, pressing her face against her back. The cloak was a bit large, and Huan Mo was too thin, so the cloak also wrapped around Yun Ge. “Master, are you cold? Let Mo Mo warm you up!”
Huan Mo’s voice was lively, and the warm breath brushed against Yun Ge’s neck. Yun Ge felt ticklish and couldn’t help but laugh. “No, don’t talk so close!”
Feeling Yun Ge’s laughter, Huan Mo’s chest rose and fell. She closed her eyes, covering up the panic but maintained a cheerful tone. She said, “Master, are you despising your disciple?”
“Where does the master despise Mo Mo?” Yun Ge quite enjoyed Huan Mo’s coquettishness, feeling like she had raised a mischievous daughter.
“When Master sees the disciple growing up…” Huan Mo’s tone was resentful. “Don’t think I don’t know. Every time Master hugs me, it’s like you’re fed up with me. You’re not as happy as before when pinching my face, and you never hug me anymore. Master… you used to hope I would grow taller… Do you regret it now?”
Yun Ge felt a mix of amusement and helplessness. The resentful tone made it sound like she was raising an adorable disciple, but one could easily mistake it for a girlfriend throwing a tantrum! It was surprising how she could remember all these details so clearly!
“When I hug you, it’s not because I’m fed up. I’m just thinking about how to fatten you up a bit. Look at you; you’re almost catching up to Lin Meimei!” Yun Ge
Yun Ge turned around wanting to pinch Huan Mo’s cheeks, but instead got her waist grabbed by Huan Mo whose head was buried on Yun Ge’s back, refusing to lift her head. Feeling the wetness on her back, Yun Ge then realized her young disciple was not only teasing and acting coquettishly but more so using this way to vent the subconscious sense of panic deep down.
Yun Ge sighed, “Why do you never believe your Master?” Her tone contained helplessness and indulgence.
“Master…” Huan Mo’s voice was filled with nasal sounds, aggrieved to no end, “In the past Master would let me kiss and would also kiss me. Now Master does not even kiss me anymore…”
“…” (⊙o⊙)… Little disciple, if I remember correctly your actual age should not be that of your Buddhist body but rather the age of this current body right? Yun Ge had only seen kindergarten and first and second-grade teachers kiss little kids. If a high school teacher kissed students, wouldn’t they be seen as a psycho?
“Master… you not saying anything means… means you loathe me…” Huan Mo choked up, “I knew it, Master prefers little me more…”
“Pa!” Yun Ge smiled helplessly and turned around, kissing Huan Mo’s cheek behind her, “Master only feels that you’ve already grown up, having your thoughts and space. Also this kind of intimate gesture, most children your age do not particularly like.”
Looking at Huan Mo who seemed to not differ much in age from herself, although her feelings had not changed one bit and she was still the disciple she wanted to keep doting on, there would still be some changes in many aspects. As a result, she did not expect that it would make Huan Mo feel so insecure.
Then, Yun Ge saw the one with laughing eyes leaning in and kissing Yun Ge’s cheek. “Master is the best!”
Yun Ge knew she had been tricked by this brat. She’s becoming more and more naughty! Yun Ge felt she had to worry for her future son-in-law! Speaking in modern terms, this child can be called a “Mischievous Little Devil”!
“Tricked Master successfully right?” Yun Ge was not angry. She pulled the person into her arms, “No matter when, you must believe Master. I will always be by your side, got it?” In Yun Ge’s eyes, Huan Mo was her disciple, but most of the time she raised her as her daughter, “In Master’s eyes, you are Master’s daughter. I will not abandon you no matter what I have to abandon, understand?”
“…” Clearly that should make one very happy, yet the anticipated feeling of joy did not arise. Instead, even the throbbing feeling from a moment ago across Huan Mo’s whole body due to Yun Ge’s initiative kiss had vanished because of these words.
Huan Mo even felt as though something sharp had fiercely poked the area of her heart, piercing certain fantasies of her own, stripping bare certain things she’d always been unwilling to face and laying them exposed in front of her. Huan Mo’s hands gripped fiercely in pain, the acute pain making her sober up slightly for a moment…
Daughter…disciple… for her, that was her position, and it would stay like that forever…
So if that were the case, in the future, she would have her own Dao companion, her biological daughter, then what does that make her?
“Mo Mo?” Yun Ge felt something was off.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“Master…” Huan Mo buried her head in Yun Ge’s neck, breathing in Yun Ge’s scent. Then, she took a deep breath, as if trying to absorb Yun Ge into her own body. With a muffled voice, she said, “Master, I feel uncomfortable…”
Yun Ge’s immediate reaction was, of course, to check Huan Mo’s condition using spiritual power. There was nothing wrong with her body.
Of course, there was no problem with her body; she felt discomfort in her heart…
Her master had always thought that without a Buddha body, one couldn’t cultivate. So now, no matter what, she wanted to go to the Ziling Sect to find information about Buddha cultivation. However, in reality, that was not the case. Buddha cultivation focused on the mind, not the body. Otherwise, why did she have a heart of pure kindness? Even if her dantian was destroyed, she could still cultivate. However, Yun Ge didn’t ask her, and she didn’t say because she knew that at least that way, she would still be with her, not bonded with someone else as Dao companions…
Her previous cultivation was indeed gone, but it didn’t affect her future cultivation. In some ways, it even had certain benefits. Abandoning the Buddha body was a kind of enlightenment in Buddha cultivation.

To avoid other flying beasts and beasts, the two rested on the tall and dense trees at night.
After giving Huan Mo the dry rations from the storage bag, Yun Ge looked at the surrounding terrain. She felt that the cultivation world could force someone with no sense of direction into a dead end. If someone with no sense of direction came here, they might as well never leave their house. Every place looked like twins born of the same mother. Even towering giant trees looked the same, not to mention the interference caused by the strong spiritual energy, making it even more confusing.
The two sat on the hammock that Yun Ge had prepared before, an essential artifact for traveling. Looking at the rolling sea of clouds not far away and the lingering afterglow that had already spread across the entire sky, the extreme rendering of rose color turned the turbulent sea of clouds into a bewitching rose color, like an unawakened hangover. Yun Ge remembered a saying, “People say the setting sun is at the end of the world.”
“It turns out that when you gaze to the end of the world, you really can’t see home forever.”
Yun Ge’s expression carried a faint and indescribable sadness. She looked at the distant sea of clouds, sitting beside her, with her hands around her waist. But there was a feeling that in the next moment, she would turn into feathers and never be found again. Huan Mo hugged her. “Where Master is, that is home,” Huan Mo said softly in Yun Ge’s ear.
Yun Ge then came back to her senses, realizing that she had spoken the sentence.
“Well, now, it’s the same for Master. Where you are is home. Sleep, we have to hit the road early tomorrow morning.” Yun Ge folded the cloak that used to belong to her disciple and placed it at one end, serving as the disciple’s pillow. Then she took out her blanket from the cave and covered her disciple.
Huan Mo stared at Yun Ge with bright eyes. “Master, aren’t you sleeping?”
Yun Ge wasn’t planning to sleep, but seeing Huan Mo’s pleading eyes, she couldn’t resist and lay down. Once she lay down, Yun Ge was pulled into Huan Mo’s embrace. “Master, it’s time to sleep!” Huan Mo’s eyes sparkled, and when she looked at Yun Ge, her whole person was cheerful. Yun Ge had the illusion that these eyes carried the radiance of all the stars.
With a warm blanket and a warm person beside her, Yun Ge fell asleep.
Huan Mo waited until Yun Ge’s breathing became steady before opening her reddened eyes. She was losing control more and more…
Huan Mo’s fingers traced Yun Ge’s face, wearing an ordinary mask. “Master…” A hint of hidden madness was covered under the thick affection, like an iceberg, only a small part was revealed, waiting for an opportunity, a chance for destruction…
In the end, Huan Mo just sighed. No matter what, she couldn’t bear it. Even if she had a Dao companion and children in the future, she still couldn’t bear to harm her. Huan Mo chuckled as if she had found a good solution. Just kill those who compete with her for the master. Isn’t that right?
Huan Mo knew that Yun Ge had her reasons for going to the Ziling Sect. Huan Mo did not refuse; if she stayed in the Yunfu Sect, she didn’t know if she would end up killing everyone who came to discuss the Dao Companion ceremony.
