She held back the impulse to grab the deadly weapon of incomparable power and turn this guy into the next Holy Virgin.
Qiū Xiǎozhū opened the umbrella and then realized that the handle had small engraved characters.
"If you don't get up, will it be sunny?"
Upon reading those four words, Qiū Xiǎozhū looked at Táng Yú with a look full of compassion.
"Where did you get this umbrella?"
"Sister Zǐtóng gave it to me last time."
"I can tell that you have feelings for me, but women only slow down the speed at which I can draw my sword, so I didn't give her the chance to court me."
Táng Yú let out a shy laugh.
Qiū Xiǎozhū laughed mockingly.
Although she rarely interacted with the disciples, she knew that the granddaughter of the Grand Elder was something special since she only showed interest in girls.
"Hurry up and come, pick the herbs and let's get back to delivering the mission."
After Táng Yú approached, Qiū Xiǎozhū raised the umbrella.
Then, she realized a problem.
The height difference between her and Táng Yú was really too large.
With all her effort to lift the umbrella, it barely covered Táng Yú's head, as if she were placing a straw hat on her.
"Master, what if I carry the umbrella instead? Don't strain yourself."
Táng Yú noticed that walking like this was completely impossible.
After handing the umbrella to Táng Yú, Qiū Xiǎozhū realized a new problem.
As soon as Táng Yú raised the umbrella, due to the distance, she was completely exposed to the rain's attack.
They looked at each other in silence.
Qiū Xiǎozhū twisted her mouth and said, "Do you have another umbrella? If not, let's just sacrifice ourselves and get a little wet. The master is fragile; she can't withstand the wind and rain."
It wasn't that she really couldn't endure it; as an expert at the [Celestial] level, this small problem was nothing.
What worried her was her little white dress.
If it got wet, it would soon look almost transparent.
"No, what if I carry you, master? You hold the umbrella, and we won't get wet."
"Alright."
Qiū Xiǎozhū thought for a moment and found it to have some logic. Before Táng Yú could bend down, she jumped onto her back.
Wrapping her legs around her waist, she wiggled her feet and asked:
"Will my shoes dirty your clothes?"
"Do you want me to take them off and carry them?"
"Up to you."
"Then, master, hold the umbrella well."
Táng Yú passed the umbrella to Qiū Xiǎozhū and then took off her shoes, holding them in her hands.
The two walked under the rain through the forest.
Along the way, Qiū Xiǎozhū occasionally threw some leaves, getting rid of the beasts and insects lurking around.
"Master, how much further do we have to walk?"
After walking for about 30 minutes, the rain finally slowed down a bit.
Meanwhile, Qiū Xiǎozhū, who was on Táng Yú's back, was almost falling asleep.
Yawning, she looked around and said:
"About ten more minutes. Did you make any marks along the way?"
"I forgot."
"It's fine. If you get lost next time, I don't care at all."
"Master, you're tough on the outside but soft on the inside."
Táng Yú smiled and then asked, "By the way, master, how long have you been at the middle stage of the [Celestial] level?"
"Not long, why?"
"When do you think you'll advance?"
Táng Yú couldn't help but feel curious.
Last time, when she saw the records in the library about the old Dragon King of the Yè family.
The records showed that the old Dragon King, with outstanding talent, hadn't managed to advance to the third level of the [Celestial] level after three years of seclusion.
Is it really that hard to reach the top of the [Celestial] level?
"Who knows."
Qiū Xiǎozhū's face showed a slight confusion for the first time.
Two years ago, her cultivation had slowly advanced, in other words, she was just one step away from reaching the union state of the [Celestial] level at the Third Level and reaching the top of the [Celestial] level.
But the Nine Heavens Alliance hadn't had anyone make that final step for many years.
Even the old monster from the Yè family, whom she deeply hated, hadn't managed to do it back then.
"Is it that hard? I've read several books, and I think the reason you haven't grasped the union of Heaven, master, is that you haven't fully experienced the seven emotions and six desires yet."
"The seven emotions and six desires?"
"Yes, for example, the suffering of love. Master, it's obvious that you've never been in love."
"…"
"Master, what if you try it with me? A burning and passionate love will surely help you break the block and achieve your breakthrough."
Qiū Xiǎozhū was too tired to tell her to shut up.
She simply covered Táng Yú's mouth with her hand, unwilling to listen to any more nonsense.
Fall in love with him?
Bah!
After reaching a large cliff area, the rain had decreased considerably.
Qiū Xiǎozhū jumped off Táng Yú's back and looked up at the cliff.
Several meters above their heads, a small stone-leaf plant was growing.
These herbs could only grow under extremely strict conditions, but they were one of the necessary herbs for making the Concentration Pill.
Therefore, it was common to send inner disciples to collect herbs.
Táng Yú looked up a couple of times and felt that her neck had almost healed from the pain. She showed a bitter smile and said:
"Master, if we fall from here, would it be considered a workplace accident?"
"I don't know if it's considered a workplace accident, but either way, I'll find a nice spot to bury you."
Qiū Xiǎozhū comforted her.
"What warm words, master!"
Táng Yú, touched, said: "But as the saying goes, when master and disciple are united, their strength is unstoppable. We'd better climb together."
Qiū Xiǎozhū looked up and gave Táng Yú a side glance: "However, I refuse."
"At night, I'll make you steamed yellow fish stew with snow sauce, grilled white fish with asparagus..."
"Alright, alright, I'll help you this time. Besides, it would be good to collect more herbs to complete the mission."
Qiū Xiǎozhū swallowed, though she didn't know what those dishes were, they sounded very sophisticated.
Of course, it wasn't because she wanted to eat, but to fulfill her duty as a master.
Soon after, the two began climbing the rock like spiders.
This extremely steep cliff, even with specialized equipment, could be a challenge for the best climbers.
However, for them, experts in ancient martial arts, it wasn't a big problem.
In just a few minutes, both had climbed more than 20 meters.
Qiū Xiǎozhū, being much stronger than Táng Yú, climbed much faster and occasionally gave instructions for Táng Yú to follow her steps.
"Really, the master is good to me."
Táng Yú, grateful, looked up at the wind that moved Qiū Xiǎozhū's skirt.
Today, the master was wearing that little and pretty white dress.
Táng Yú had been lucky enough to see it once, although after that, the master didn't let her wash that kind of clothing.
No one expected that after so much time, they would meet again in this way.
[Are you okay, my friend?]
Táng Yú, in her heart, greeted the little white dress.
Hearing Táng Yú's strange mental expression, Qiū Xiǎozhū felt confused and looked down. She discovered that he was staring up at her.
"What is he looking at?"
Just when she was thinking this, the rock Qiū Xiǎozhū was holding onto broke.
At that moment, completely distracted, Qiū Xiǎozhū lost her balance and fell.
Táng Yú was about three meters below her.
Just as she was falling, she landed on him.
Or rather, she fell right on his face.
