"All right." Ling Yun then shifted to a large tree not far from them as he brought Zhou Yu onto his lap.
Seeing that, both women breathed a sigh of relief. Although they felt that Ling Yun and Zhou Yu were not evil, they still felt uncomfortable having strangers around them, and they lay down side by side to recover their strength.
The two male disciples sat and guarded by their sides, but they repeatedly glanced at Ling Yun and Zhou Yu, who looked intimate.
Ling Yun ignored them and whispered to Zhou Yu. 'You said yourself that you are my wife, right? So you should act like a wife.'
'Tch! He deliberately took advantage of my mistake.' Zhou Yu inwardly muttered in annoyance, but she leaned against Ling Yun's chest and accompanied him to read the books. 'Don't you want to heal those two women? They might be attracted to you if you do that, especially since they're still too innocent, and you're a lustful dragon.'
'Am I that lustful?' Ling Yun asked back as his hands started to grope Zhou Yu's body, starting from her flat stomach.
Zhou Yi shivered slightly at his touch, and she looked up at him. 'See? You even dare to do this kind of thing to me now.'
'Since you are my wife, I can do anything to you, right?' Before Zhou Yu could refute him, Ling Yun had lowered his head and kissed her, and his hands moved more boldly towards her perfectly round mounds.
'Ugh! This brat!' Zhou Yu cursed in her heart, but she held Ling Yun's head and kissed him back in an upside-down position, and their tongues moved nimbly in rhythm. 'I never knew that kissing would be so enjoyable.'
"Mhn~" Zhou Yu moaned incoherently when Ling Yun sucked on her lower lip, and both hands had started to squeeze her breasts, plus he also gently rubbed her little cherries.
Even though they were a little far away, the four disciples could hear Zhou Yu's moans, and the two men closed their senses of hearing and eyes directly.
However, the two women were opposite, and they looked at Ling Yun and Zhou Yu with looks full of curiosity, especially since they had never been intimate with men.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu turned to face Ling Yun and embraced his neck, and they continued their kiss again. They took turns sucking each other's tongues, and they savored each other's nectar.
Zhou Yu's moans continued to ring in the ears of the two women, causing their chests to move up and down and their lust to slowly ignite.
'Ugh! Even though they are husband and wife, they are really shameless, and they don't think about our presence!' Qiao Lingzhi grumbled inwardly.
Nangong Nichang thought otherwise as she rubbed her lips. 'Is kissing really that fun?'
Before long, Ling Yun separated their lips and hugged Zhou Yu. 'Do you like me?'
'A little.' Zhou Yu snuggled into Ling Yun's embrace and answered him truthfully. 'After I lived with you for a long time, I started to be attracted to you, but I haven't completely fallen in love with you like Big Sis and Lei, so I don't want to do anything more.'
'I know.' Ling Yun then kissed Zhou Yu's forehead. 'Sooner or later, you will be my wife.'
Zhou Yu looked up at him with a smile. 'It won't be easy to get me, you know? So you have to fight harder if you want me to be your wife.'
'Sure! Even if it will take tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years, I will definitely conquer your heart.'
'Anyway, Big Sis already discussed things with Mingxia and the others, and they agreed for you to join the Eternal Spring Palace.' Ling Yun looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. 'Our situation is very dire, so you should join there as soon as possible, and you can look for stronger dual cultivation partners to help you improve your cultivation.'
'You're right.' Ling Yun sighed heavily after remembering his problems with the spirit race. 'In that case, we will go straight back to Yunlong Zuzhai after I get the equipment from my master, and I will help them first the day before I go to the Eternal Spring Sect.'
'En.' Zhou Yu agreed with that. 'Since Big Sis and the others will focus on protecting them, I will accompany you in the sect to protect you, but I won't appear if you're not in danger.'
'That's not a problem.'
After that, Ling Yun started studying everything written in those blacksmithing books, and Zhou Yu faithfully accompanied him.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Hong had arrived at the Heaven Secret Sect, and he immediately went to a small cottage as he shouted loudly. "Master! Help! The situation is really serious!"
"Hmm?" An old man who was meditating immediately opened his eyes after he heard Ouyang Hong's shout, but he immediately sighed and shook his head. "Why did you come back here?"
Ouyang Hong kneeled in front of the old man and explained it to him. "Master! There's a strong cultivator in greencloud forest, and that person seems to be training there."
"Then?"
Ouyang Hong immediately told him again. "We originally wanted to search for the item, but the manifestation of a vermilion bird suddenly appeared in the heart of the forest, and that caused the beast stampede to occur."
"Oh? Are you sure that is the manifestation of the vermilion bird?" The old man asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Master!" Ouyang Hong nodded repeatedly. "However, Nichang suddenly acted alone and went towards the depths of the forest, and the three of them immediately chased her."
The old man was not surprised by Nangong Nichang's actions, for he already knew her character by heart, but he seemed angry with Ouyang Hong's actions. "Then why didn't you follow them? Why did you return to this sect instead?"
"Master, I know I was wrong." Ouyang Hong immediately kowtowed before him. "However, the beasts in the forest were very strong, and we couldn't possibly defeat them, so I came back to beg you to save them."
"Don't you guys have the protective artifacts I gave you?" The old man asked again in a deep voice. "I've told you all that the artifact can withstand attacks by beasts in the Five God Realms, so you'll be safe from those beasts as long as you activate it."
Ouyang Hong trembled, listening to his master's voice. "Master, I-"
"You don't need to say anything else." The old man immediately interrupted Ouyang Hong. "I've taught you many things since childhood, but it turns out you're a coward and an unfaithful friend."
"Master-"
The old man sighed and suppressed Ouyang Hong with a bit of his aura. "I deliberately confiscated your returning jades to test your survival skills, but you actually abandoned your brothers and sisters to save yourselves. Do you think Peng'er and the others are still alive now?"
"I... I don't know, Master." Ouyang Hong replied as he shook his head vigorously.
"You've made a big mistake by returning to the sect, especially since the five of you were a team, and you've been training together since childhood. If you were with them now, I believe that you guys could overcome the beasts' attacks with your combined abilities." The old man sighed heavily before reprimanding him again. "However, your team has become unbalanced because of your return, and they won't be able to fight to the fullest of their abilities, so there's a possibility that Nichang and the others may have died because of those beasts."
Ouyang Hong's expression turned sad, and he spoke to the old man again. "Master, I know I was wrong, but I beg you to save them, and I am willing to accept the harshest possible punishment."
"Go to the altar room and kneel there for now, and I will decide your punishment later."
"Master-"
"Go now."
Ouyang Hong clenched his fists tightly and stood up, and he looked at the old man before running away to carry out his orders.
After he disappeared, the old man took out four life stones from his storage ring, and he sighed in relief, seeing that they were still shining. "Fortunately, the four of them are still alive, but Nichang and Lingzhi seem to be quite badly injured."
Suddenly, an old woman appeared in front of him, and she immediately said to the old man. "Ye Zhong, you were too harsh on your five direct disciples, you know? I know you did it for their future, but you should be a little lenient towards them."
"I know." Ye Zhong then replied to her. "Wu Qingcheng, you yourself know that the cultivation world is cruel, and I want the five of them to be fully prepared to face its cruelty before they leave our sect, so I was forced to do it for their sake."
"Do you think their clan members would remain silent if they died in that forest?" Wu Qingcheng shouted at him. "After all, they are their younger generation who have the brightest prospects, and they will definitely hold our sect accountable if they die. So you should go there and save them now."
Ye Zhong seemed unmoved about changing his decision after hearing that. "If they really die in the forest, I will bear the responsibility for their deaths."
"Tch! You are stubborn as usual!" Wu Qingcheng instantly disappeared from his sight, and Ye Zhong put away those life stones before closing his eyes again.
