The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
Moreover, this Yellow Dog had marked many places on the vast Dazhu Peak, leaving its urine everywhere. This was the most troublesome matter; Tian Buyi scolded Big Yellow several times, but it still wouldn't listen. However, seeing that it often chose the bamboo in the bamboo forest or some secluded corners of the houses, Tian Buyi became too lazy to bother further. Until one day, for some unknown reason, this foolish dog went mad and inexplicably slipped into the Serene Hall, urinating at the corner of the outer wall of Zheng Tong's bedroom, instantly becoming the latest and hottest joke on Dazhu Peak.
When Zheng Tong learned of this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. However, being a senior cultivator who had achieved great success in his practice, he wouldn't get angry with a dog; he just laughed it off.
On the other hand, Tian Buyi was extremely anxious and embarrassed, desperately apologizing to his master and then dragging Big Yellow back home for a good scolding.
But despite the scolding, this dog looked lazy and foolish, showing no signs of understanding. Unable to contain his anger, Tian Buyi tied Big Yellow up with a leash in his yard and refused to give him any food. Over time, this made Big Yellow panic, pitifully squatting in the yard and barking at Tian Buyi.
The barking was loud and seemed to echo throughout the entire Dazhu Peak.
Standing in the yard with his hands on his hips, Tian Buyi looked at Big Yellow with a cold smile and said, "Foolish dog, are you scared now?"
Big Yellow wagged his tail: "Woof, woof..."
Tian Buyi shouted, "Are you going to dare to urinate anywhere again in the future?"
Big Yellow wagged his tail a few more times: "Woof woof woof, woof woof..."
Tian Buyi angrily said, "If you keep talking like that, do you believe I will let you go hungry for three nights?"
Immediately, Big Yellow wagged his tail non-stop: "Woof, woof, woof, woof..."
Just as Tian Buyi was about to say more, suddenly a voice from outside sounded with a hint of surprise: "Oh? What happened? Why are you going to let Big Yellow go hungry for three nights?"
Tian Buyi turned around in surprise and saw Su Ru had arrived at the door, walking into the courtyard. Upon seeing Big Yellow, her face lit up with joy as she walked over and gently patted Big Yellow's head, saying, "Oh, Big Yellow, we meet again. Hmm, it seems you've grown a bit since the last time I saw you; you're taller now."
Big Yellow became excited upon seeing Su Ru, his eyes sparkling as he barked repeatedly, "Woof woof woof woof," while sticking out his tongue to lick Su Ru's palm and nudging her ankle with his head, showing immense affection.
As one of the two people who saved him, besides Tian Buyi, Big Yellow loved to be close to Su Ru the most.
Su Ru giggled, clearly fond of the dog. She played with him for a while before turning back to Tian Buyi with a smile and asking, "Hey, what were you doing just now?"
Tian Buyi remained calm and suddenly produced a large bowl of bones as if performing a magic trick. He placed it on the ground next to Big Yellow and said seriously, "I want him to stop eating like a starving ghost every time. It's fine for me to buy him more food, but I'm worried he might get sick from overeating."
Su Ru nodded in agreement, clearly aware of Big Yellow's usual habits. She walked over to pat Big Yellow's head and said with a smile, "Tian Buyi is right. Big Yellow, you should listen to him."
With a bone in his mouth, Big Yellow looked up at Tian Buyi and nodded eagerly before continuing to devour his food.
Tian Buyi sighed in relief and laughed heartily, saying to Su Ru, "Big Yellow is truly a smart dog."
Su Ru covered her mouth and laughed.
After watching Big Yellow for a while, Tian Buyi led her to sit at a stone table on the other side of the courtyard and smiled, "Did you come here today specifically to see Big Yellow?"
Su Ru initially had a smile on her face but slowly withdrew it. She nodded in response and said softly, "Yes." However, she then shook her head slowly and murmured, "But not really..."
Tian Buyi looked puzzled and asked, "Su Shimei, what's wrong?"
Su Ru's expression became complex. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at Tian Buyi and found him gazing intently at her. For some reason, her heart softened unexpectedly. She sighed and then said, "Actually, I came here today because I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Tian Buyi" said, "What is it?"
"Su Ru" paused for a moment and replied, "Yesterday at 'Yuqing Palace', 'Wan Shixiong' suddenly gifted me an exquisite celestial sword."
"Tian Buyi" was taken aback, staring blankly at "Su Ru".
"Su Ru" continued, her tone seemingly a bit somber, "The sword is called 'Moyue'. I took it back to show my master, and she also confirmed that the quality of this sword is extremely high; it is a rare celestial treasure that truly deserves the title of 'Divine Sword'. Even compared to our family's ancestral treasure 'Yashenjian', it is only slightly inferior."
"Tian Buyi" gasped in surprise and said, "This gift is indeed precious. 'Wan Shixiong' is truly generous to give such a lavish present."
Suddenly, "Su Ru" lifted her head, appearing somewhat annoyed, and glared at "Tian Buyi".
"Tian Buyi" was startled. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, a flash of realization struck him. He trembled and his face turned pale as he exclaimed, "Could it be that 'Wan Shixiong' has feelings for you..."
"Su Ru" fell silent, her expression complex.
"Tian Buyi" abruptly stood up, his face flushed with excitement as he stared intently at "Su Ru". At that moment, he was so flustered that he could barely speak, stammering, "I... I... You... Sister Su, you... you think..."
"Su Ru" took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
"Tian Buyi" gritted his teeth and tried to calm his racing heart before hoarsely asking, "What do you think?"
"Su Ru" snorted softly; a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face before she replied nonchalantly, "That's strange. Why should you care what I'm thinking?"
"Tian Buyi" was left speechless, unable to respond.
Su Ru looked at him, seemingly getting angrier, and suddenly stood up, appearing ready to leave.
Tian Buyi was taken aback, a sense of foreboding sweeping over him. He felt that if this beautiful girl in front of him really walked away at this moment, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He didn't know where his courage came from, but suddenly he took a step forward and blocked Su Ru's path, saying, "Don't go!"
Su Ru looked at him quietly and said, "If you don't want me to leave, do you have something to say to me?"
Tian Buyi hesitated, and Su Ru snorted coldly, turning to walk away. Tian Buyi was in a panic, sweating profusely. Suddenly, he steeled himself as if he had made up his mind and grabbed Su Ru's hand, looking into her eyes urgently. "I... I... I like you too!"
Su Ru immediately stopped, her face turning red as she lowered her head. However, deep in her eyes, a genuine joy flashed by. She gently bit her lip and after a moment realized that her hand was still being held by Tian Buyi. A warm and solid feeling came from his palm, making her heart race slightly.
She took a deep breath and then raised her head again to look at Tian Buyi. "You like me, but if Wan Shixiong also has feelings for me, what will you do?"
Tian Buyi felt as if struck by lightning and stood there dazed. Su Ru stared intently at him, watching the various expressions of pain flash across Tian Buyi's chubby face. After a while, the muscles on his face twitched twice before he looked at Su Ru.
Su Ru didn't know why but suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Tian Buyi slowly said, "I've thought about it. Wan Shixiong has been very kind to me; he has almost saved my life multiple times during this Wilderness Journey and has taught me so much that my skills have greatly improved. I... I..." By the end, he was choked up and couldn't continue speaking.
Su Ru's lips trembled slightly, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes as she gazed at Tian Buyi and whispered, "Are you... going to..."
But Tian Buyi suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, "If it were anything else, whatever Wan Shixiong asked me to do, I would naturally comply. Even if he asked me to fight against others, I would have no second thoughts. But when it comes to you, I... I..." He repeated the word "I" several times before finally gritting his teeth. Under Su Ru's expectant gaze filled with tears, he declared, "Only you, I absolutely cannot give up. If Wan Shixiong hates me for this, I have nothing to say. Even if he wants to kill me, then so be it."
"But to make me give you up? I would rather die!"
The last few words he spoke were resolute, each word like a solemn vow, showing no hint of hesitation.
Su Ru covered her mouth, and without realizing it, tears streamed down her face. At that moment, she felt her heart stirred, as if her entire being was filled with an unprecedented joy, almost as if she could fly.
The man before her, the one holding her hand, the one who resolutely refused to let her go even in the face of death, seemed to be the best person in the world to her at that moment.
She let out a soft gasp and could no longer hold back; she threw herself into his embrace, wrapped her arms around his waist, leaned on his shoulder, and began to cry. The crystalline tears fell like pearls from a broken string, instantly soaking Tian Buyi's shoulder.
Tian Buyi stiffened for a moment, then instinctively held Su Ru close. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, a sound suddenly came from the entrance of the courtyard, like a door being blown by the wind or someone pushing it open.
Tian Buyi and Su Ru turned their heads simultaneously and were momentarily stunned.
At the entrance of the courtyard stood a White-Clad Man, one-armed and carrying a sword, gazing silently at the two of them with a desolate expression.
The mountain breeze swept through, causing his white robe to flutter gently, adding a touch of solitude to his presence.
Tian Buyi's face turned pale as he murmured, "Wan Shixiong..."
