"Huh? I said that?"
“I remember every word Master said to me,” Wei Yuan said. “However, if Master finds my hair too long and inconvenient, please cut it shorter so that it will be easier to wear hairpins.”
"Keep it, it looks great like this." Wei Yuan's words reminded Yu Tang of his time in modern times, when he would always take a second look at anyone with long, straight black hair.
It was as if some unseen force was guiding him, leading him to search everywhere for Wei Yuan's shadow.
After taking a bath, Yu Tang sat at the stone table in the courtyard and watched Wei Yuan practice his sword.
After observing for a while, Xiao Jin and Bai Feng went to Qinghuai Valley together.
"Master!" Xiao Jin greeted Yu Tang warmly.
"Bai Feng pays respects to Divine Lord Yu." Bai Feng followed, glancing left and right at Wei Yuan. Their eyes met, and they already knew the intricacies of the situation.
Xiao Jin whispered in Yu Tang's ear, "Have you and Wei Yuan made up?"
"Yes, we've already talked it out." Yu Tang smiled and tapped Xiao Jin's forehead, then glanced at Bai Feng and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "And you? So you've finally brought Bai Feng back to your parents' home to meet me, the head of the family?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin's face instantly turned bright red: "Master, please don't speak so loudly!"
"You only said I shouldn't speak loudly, so does that mean you really mean you're bringing him to meet your parents?"
"That's basically the gist of it." Xiao Jin said shyly, clutching the hem of her clothes, "He also remembered what happened before, and it turns out we really were in love."
But we've been missing out on each other all along, so this time we must cherish each other!
"That's more like it." Yu Tang looked at Bai Feng, then at Xiao Jin, and found him pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.
He called Bai Feng over and, like an old father giving his daughter a wedding, gave her many instructions. Afterward, the four of them planned to have a meal together in the courtyard.
The head chef was Wei Yuan.
With the memories of serving his master for 100,000 years, plus the experience of the previous nine worlds, Wei Yuan is now an all-rounder; there is nothing he cannot do.
Seeing Wei Yuan busy, Xiao Jin was reminded of that time in the past.
He nudged Bai Feng beside him, then pointed at Wei Yuan: "Bai Feng, when will you be able to cook like the Lord God?"
The cat's eyes were wide and pleading, and Bai Feng's heart softened instantly.
"Soon..." He stood up and walked towards Wei Yuan: "You just wait until I surpass him."

"Master, what exactly is this Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao that the Supreme God spoke of?" After watching Bai Feng walk away, Xiao Jin asked Yu Tang, "You still haven't told me."
"And what else is it that you and he must face life and death together?"
The atmosphere became somewhat somber when this topic was brought up.
Yu Tang thought for a moment and then answered Xiao Jin, "It refers to our ending."
Since he had no intention of hiding anything, Yu Tang told Xiao Jin everything he knew.
After hearing this, Xiao Jin felt a tightness in her chest and her nose stung with tears.
"Master, do you really have no other choice? Are you content to live only for two hundred years?"
“Actually, I have a vague feeling that this is not a complete dead end.” Yu Tang said, “Wei Yuan told me that his soul fragments are connected to ten worlds. After ten lifetimes of love tribulations, Yang Tiandao will erase the traces of his existence and also erase everyone’s memories of him.”
That would mean the collapse of ten virtual worlds he controlled, ultimately burying Wei Yuan's soul.
"But what if I choose to go back to these worlds and bring back Wei Yuan's soul before they completely collapse?"
A glint flashed in Yu Tang's eyes, and he said, "I am confident that I will not forget him even after ten worlds."
Even if I become a god, no matter what tricks Yin Yang Heavenly Dao uses, I will break them.
And he kept in mind that his primary task was to bring Wei Yuan's soul back.
“I’m not willing to live only two hundred years with Wei Yuan.” Yu Tang whispered to Xiao Jin, “I only said those things to help him let go of his inner turmoil.”
"And I will tell him all about this method when this world is about to end, so that he won't be able to refute me."
Little Jin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter through her tears: "I knew you had a way, Master! I was so scared just now, I thought you had given up and were going to leave me with the Lord God!"
"How is that possible?" Yu Tang's gaze fell on Wei Yuan in the distance.
Looking at the tall, handsome young man, her expression softened even more.
"This time, I will absolutely not let go again."
Afterwards, Xiao Jin and Bai Feng sat in Qinghuai Valley for a while longer before leaving.
After all, Xiao Jin is quite perceptive in this regard; he doesn't want to be a third wheel for Yu Tang and Wei Yuan!
With Xiao Jin gone, the courtyard became much quieter. Wei Yuan sat down opposite Yu Tang and poured himself a cup of tea.
She couldn't take her eyes off the man no matter what.
The absurdity of the past few days, coupled with Yu Tang's initiative, has left him so happy he's completely lost his bearings.
This was something he never dared to dream of. Now that his wish has come true, how can he remain calm and composed?
My throat felt dry, so I couldn't resist pouring myself another glass.
It wasn't until I drank five cups of tea that I felt a little better.
Yu Tang watched his actions closely and sighed inwardly: This little lecher.
He tapped the table with his finger and asked Wei Yuan, "You said that this world is a complete replica of the world you and I lived in 100,000 years ago. Does that mean that Wanku Mountain and those sects that are conducting research on demons also exist?"
"Yes, they exist too."
“Take me to see,” Yu Tang said. “In my previous life, I misunderstood you for so long because of this matter. Now I want to understand just how chaotic the human and divine realms were back then.”
Wei Yuan said worriedly, "But Master, you have to suppress your cultivation level when you go to the mortal realm. The higher your cultivation level, the greater the backlash you will suffer in the mortal realm..."
"You're making it sound so serious now," Yu Tang said with a smile, asking Wei Yuan, "When I went to the human realm to find you before, you even snapped at me. Why didn't you show any concern for me then?"
Wei Yuan's face darkened instantly, and he said, "I'm sorry, Master, I was just ignorant back then."
Yu Tang was just joking, but seeing Wei Yuan making such a big fuss, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He simply got up and gave Wei Yuan a light flick on the forehead.
"I've already beaten you up, let's just consider this a closed chapter."
As he spoke, he hooked his little finger around Wei Yuan's finger: "From now on, we'll make a promise that neither of us will say anything hurtful to the other. Let's pinky swear it."
Wei Yuan was slightly taken aback. He recalled that Yu Tang had done something similar to him in previous worlds.
The guilt and pain in my heart dissipated almost entirely in an instant.
She reached out and hooked her finger with Yu Tang's, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Yes, I promise Master, we'll pinky swear for a hundred years and never change our minds."
Because Wei Yuan said that Wanku Mountain had been almost completely destroyed during the three years he went on a rampage.
Therefore, Yu Tang and Wei Yuan did not choose to go to Wanku Mountain when they descended to the mortal realm this time.
Instead, they set their first stop at the Qingcang Sword Sect, the largest sect in the human realm.
Wei Yuan said that the sect leader of this sword sect was one of the followers of Yin Tian Dao and also one of the leaders of the masked cultivators at that time.
In order not to alert the enemy, Yu Tang and Wei Yuan not only suppressed their cultivation levels, but also placed restrictions on their faces.
To ordinary people, they were just two ordinary-looking young men.
They arrived just as the Qingcang Sword Sect was recruiting new disciples.
Most of them were teenagers, lining up to take tests in front of the spirit orb.
It is said that this is only the first hurdle; one must pass a qualification test before proceeding to the other tests.
"Hmm... the age requirement is under fifteen." Wei Yuan saw the enrollment notice, turned to look at Yu Tang, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He said, "Master, according to this, we must transform into teenagers to blend in with these children. Do you want to transform?"
Yu Tang felt a chill run down her spine when she saw his strange smile, but she still nodded: "Of course it will change."
After saying that, he made a hand gesture and transformed into a boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old.
He's almost a head shorter than before, and his skin isn't very fair, but he looks healthier. His originally angular and handsome features have become rounder, and the extra baby fat makes him look quite adorable.
"Is it alright?" His voice was a bit hoarse from puberty, and he looked up at Wei Yuan with an innocent and youthful air.
“Very good…” Wei Yuan never expected that his casual remark would earn him such a treat.
I was overjoyed.
Seeing the strange look in his eyes, Yu Tang said, "I've changed, are you going to change too?"
"My disciple will naturally transform as well." Wei Yuan's mind raced, and he quickly came up with an idea. He made a hand seal and transformed into a little girl in red.
A question mark slowly appeared above Yu Tang's head.
"Why would you turn into a girl?"
But the next moment, Wei Yuan pounced on him, grabbed his arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Because even though we're good-looking, we still need to come up with a plausible identity for ourselves..."
Yu Tang got goosebumps from his coquettish voice and asked him, "What does this have to do with you becoming a girl?"
Before Wei Yuan could answer him, a disciple of the Qingcang Sword Sect walked over, carrying a booklet and a pen, and asked them, "Are you also here to take the entrance test? Please state your names and backgrounds."
Wei Yuan immediately replied sweetly, "Brother, hello, my name is Gu Yuan'er, and he is my fiancé named Chi Yu. We are from the Gu family in Anze City. I hope you can give us a chance to test ourselves..."

"Alright, you two hurry up and line up." The disciple looked at Wei Yuan and Yu Tang, his eyes slightly darkening.
Turning around, Yu Tang could still hear him joking with the other disciples, saying that they were already engaged at such a young age, unlike them who hadn't found a good match yet.
After they had gone some distance, Yu Tang looked down at Wei Yuan and said, "Your lying skills are getting better and better."
“However, if you want to create such an identity, you don’t necessarily have to become a woman.”
Even if you remained a man, I would still be willing to make our relationship public and say you are my fiancé.
Wei Yuan's arms around Yu Tang froze, and he stared blankly at Yu Tang, making Yu Tang feel embarrassed. She covered his eyes with her hands.
