Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Yun Zhi considered herself to be someone who remained unfazed in the face of issues, capable of analyzing problems calmly.

For instance, the horrifying Thunder Tribulation she encountered during her Pass Tribulation, the first time she exchanged blows with an Immortal, and when she discovered that Lu Yang possessed exceptional magical talent... Although some issues remained unresolved, at the very least, she maintained her composure.

After she listened to Fairy Eternity's words, her mind indeed struggled to cope.

Plop.

Lu Yang was so scared that he dropped the Spirit Fruit in his hand, and it rolled off to who knows where.

"I, I am Lu Yang."

Lu Yang hurried to reveal his true form; if he let Fairy Eternity continue, she might utter some earth-shattering statements.

At that time, if Eldest Senior Sister couldn't bear to lay a hand on the Fairy, then he would be the one out of luck!

...

In the guest room, Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity knelt side by side, earnestly listening to Yun Zhi's scolding.

With a ruler in hand, Yun Zhi paced back and forth in front of the two, who shivered from fear, not daring to make a move, not even daring to raise their heads, in case they received a strike from Yun Zhi's ruler.

"Senior Fairy, there are some things that one must not talk about carelessly; they could easily cause great chaos, do you understand?"

"I can understand that you want to protect Junior Brother's feelings, but you can't go too far. If outsiders were to hear this, they might think something happened between you and Junior Brother, tarnishing both of your reputations."

"I was wrong, I will never lie again," Fairy Eternity said with her head bowed, showing a sincere attitude. If it weren't for her limited cultural level, she might have even felt the impulse to write a letter of apology.

Seeing Fairy Eternity sincerely admitting her fault, Yun Zhi's emerging sense of alarm also subsided greatly.

It was enough to scare them a bit; she couldn't really beat them with the ruler.

Unfortunately, the Emperor's Chair was placed on Sky Gate Mountain, and she hadn't brought it with her, so Yun Zhi picked a random chair from the guest room to sit in front of them and listened to Lu Yang recount what happened.

"So you mean, the problem originated from the Laurel Tree, which caused Junior Brother to suffer misfortune while lighting it, shrinking your body?"

"Not just me, all the disciples of the Immortal Palace shrunk too."

Yun Zhi nodded, the matter was neither too big nor too small. As Elder Zhou Yulu had said, the shrinking and loss of Cultivation Level were temporary; as long as they stayed indoors during this period, it wouldn't create any problems.

Of course, it would be best if there wasn't someone like her who had sneaked into the Immortal Palace secretly.

"Eldest Senior Sister, do you have a way to help me revert to my original size?" Lu Yang looked at his all-capable Eldest Senior Sister with hope—the body of a child was really inconvenient, requiring him to jump onto chairs and stretch his hands to grab Spirit Fruits.

Yun Zhi didn't provide an answer and simply waved him over, "Come here, let me check."

"Oh."

Yun Zhi pinched Lu Yang's cheek and touched his little head, then shook her head in disappointment, dashing Lu Yang's hopes: "It won't work, I'm not skilled in the way of pharmacology; your situation can only recover with time."

Fairy Eternity showed a puzzled expression. Was this matter really that difficult?

She wasn't skilled in pharmacology either, but reverting Little Yang back to normal was quite easy for her, a mere trifle. However, once reverted, she wouldn't be able to knead Little Yang as casually as she could now.

Miss Yun had just taught her not to lie, so she must be telling the truth now, which proves she truly lacks the capability.

In this regard, it seemed Miss Yun indeed couldn't match up to her. Fairy Eternity thought delightedly, finding another aspect in which she surpassed Miss Yun besides intelligence.

"Don't you have suitable clothes?" Yun Zhi noticed that Lu Yang's clothes were abnormally loose.

"No."

"In that case, find me a piece of clothing, and I'll tailor it for you."

Lu Yang's face lit up with joy. "Eldest Senior Sister, you know how to tailor clothes too?"

"I learned it when I was young, but I haven't used the skill in a long time. I hope I haven't gotten rusty."

When Lu Yang went to look for clothes, he realized that other than the clothes he was wearing, all his other garments were stored in his identity token.

And right now, he had no mana to access his identity token.

Yun Zhi stepped in, retrieving a set of clothes from Lu Yang's identity token. This wasn't related to cultivation level; it was a privilege of the Acting Sect Master.

She carefully sized up Lu Yang, had a clothing design in mind, and with her finger acting as a blade, tailored the clothing to fit Lu Yang's current size.

Then she took out a sewing kit from her own identity token and began to make clothes for Lu Yang—cutting, sewing, designing patterns, handling pleats...

Yun Zhi moved smoothly, her actions not at all like someone who hadn't sewn in a long time as she claimed, and indeed, quite the opposite, Lu Yang had never seen anyone whose craftsmanship in this area surpassed that of Eldest Senior Sister.

"It's done."

With a flick of the garment, Yun Zhi finished a beautifully crafted set of clothes with a white base and blue edges, which Lu Yang accepted with extreme care as if it were a precious treasure.

After all, this was the first time he had received something hand-made by Eldest Senior Sister. Not to mention its practical value, the sentimental significance alone was exceptional.

"By the way, Fairy Senior, did you say that you wanted the people of the Fairy Palace to drink water from the Twin River?" Yun Zhi suddenly remembered the real purpose of their visit.

"Yes, didn't they say they wanted children? Drinking water from the Twin River is just what they need."

"Are there any particulars to be noted about drinking the river water, like how much one should drink at a time?"

"The things created by this Immortal aren't so finicky. Just drink a bowlful, and it won't matter if you drink more or even take a dive into the river. Drinking more won't result in four kids."

"Also, a person can only drink water from the Twin River once in their lifetime. Drinking it a second time will have no effect, and it will be no different from ordinary river water."

Yun Zhi nodded to herself. It seemed the Twin River and the Mother-child River were much alike in their use, differing only slightly in effect.

"Then, Junior Brother, take good care of yourself in the Fairy Palace. Whenever you want to come back to Seek Dao Sect, just return," Yun Zhi said as she stood up to say goodbye, acknowledging that despite some twists and turns, their goal was ultimately achieved.

After saying farewell to Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang asked Fairy Eternity to close her eyes and not to look at him.

"I'm going to change clothes."

"Don't worry, this Immortal won't peek," she replied.

Lu Yang rustled and fussed as he put on the clothes. They fit perfectly, and his whole demeanor was revitalized. Before, he had been wrapping himself up in clothes like a blanket, looking like a patient.

Not long after Lu Yang had changed his clothes, he heard a knock at the door from Lan Ting, "Elder Brother Lu Yang, are you there?"

"Come in."

Lan Ting entered, dressed in new clothes and holding another set while sporting a mischievous smile.

"Elder Brother Lu Yang, the Elder just came down the mountain and bought clothes for everyone. However, he wasn't aware of your situation and bought only women's clothes. Perhaps you could make do... Eh, you already have clothes to wear?"

Lan Ting was surprised to see Lu Yang wearing fitting clothes and realized his plan had fallen through.

"Oh, right, I just happened to bring a child's clothing with me," Lu Yang replied with a chuckle, as he couldn't very well say that Eldest Senior Sister had just made him a new set of clothes on the spot.

Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang with a peculiar expression. Why would Elder Brother Lu Yang carry children's clothing with him?
