Chapter 1: A Beautiful Woman Descends from the Sky on a Forest Path



Chapter 1: A Beautiful Woman Descends from the Sky on a Forest Path

In the lush, green forest, where trees grow in abundance and flowers, birds, fish, and insects gather, a path stretches into the distance.

On the path

A white horse walked quietly along the path, its horseshoes making a clattering sound as they hit the ground.

On horseback sat a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, holding a folding fan and a blue jade flute hanging from his waist. He was wearing a blue robe and humming a tune as the white horse carried him along the path.

"Master, really. Did you have to kick me out? It's just that I'm much stronger than him!"

As he finished humming the tune, the young man Helian Yun Shen couldn't help but complain about how his master had forcibly kicked him out of the house.

…………

"Ah!"

In a small town in the north-south border region

An elderly man in his sixties or seventies was packing his things when he couldn't help but sneeze. He put down what he was holding, rubbed his nose, and muttered something under his breath.

"It must be that brat Yun Shen talking about me!"

His words hit the nail on the head, immediately reminding him of his disciple Helian Yun Shen's constant nagging. After saying this, the old man looked in the direction Helian Yun Shen had left, his eyes filled with a mixture of affection and helplessness.

"Yun Shen, the reason your master is sending you away is not because he dislikes you. It's because your talent is simply too great, and your master has nothing more to teach you."

I hope you can meet a better mentor and develop your talents even more effectively.

"Being by my side is only holding you back."

After saying that, he sighed.

He stopped thinking about it and quietly continued tidying up his belongings. The old man kept everything that had just happened deep in his heart, no longer dwelling on it.

…………

Forest path

Helian Yunshen quietly let the white horse carry him forward. At this moment, he had already picked up the jade flute hanging at his waist and was playing his own beautiful and melodious tune.

The beautiful melody attracted birds from the forest to follow, fluttering their wings and circling around Helian Yunshen, dancing gracefully to the beautiful music.

"who!"

The soft rustling sound in the forest reached Helian Yunshen's ears. The beautiful melody stopped for a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

next moment

A figure fell from the sky toward him. Seeing this, Helian Yun Shen circulated his inner energy and leaped off his horse to catch the falling woman.

"Is...is it a woman?"

Feeling the different touch of the man's body in his arms, Helian Yun Shen's cheeks flushed involuntarily, and he uttered those words somewhat shyly.

"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business!"

Before Helian Yun Shen could even land and steady himself, a threatening voice came from not far away.

The sound made Helian Yun Shen look up and see two men with long knives and fierce expressions chasing after him. Helian Yun Shen could only guess that they were after the woman in his arms.

"This is none of your business, you should leave."

The woman held in Helian Yun Shen's arms was breathing unsteadily and pleading weakly with him not to interfere in the matter.

Looking at the woman in his arms, Helian Yun Shen remained silent.

He quietly placed the woman on the horse's back, while he himself faced the two burly men with menacing faces.

“Under the clear sky, I can’t stand by and watch the two of you bully a weak woman.”

"If you can't stand it, then die with her!"

Without further ado, the two added Helian Yun Shen to their kill list. Holding long swords, they attacked Helian Yun Shen, who then opened his folding fan.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The two burly men looked at Helian Yun Shen with suspicion!

Is this kid scared out of his wits?

Never mind all that, just kill them first.

The long sword fell, striking Helian Yun Shen with perfect accuracy, just as the two thought they had killed him.

The dead Helian Yun Shen in front of them disappeared, and another Helian Yun Shen appeared behind them.

"what happened?"

"What the hell!"

The two were shocked by the scene and exclaimed in disbelief.

In the eyes of the woman on horseback

The two burly men clearly hadn't moved; they were merely standing still, wildly waving their long swords, while the young man stood beside the white horse with the air of a graceful youth.

"what have you done?"

"No...nothing!"

Hearing the question from the woman in his arms, Helian Yun Shen didn't dare look at her and spoke shyly. The moment he finished speaking, the two burly men suddenly pointed their weapons at their own men.

The two men unleashed their attacks on each other.

this moment

Helian Yun Shen closed his folding fan, and the two burly men, who seemed possessed by evil spirits, regained their senses and looked at the situation before them. They then looked at Helian Yun Shen, spitting blood as they questioned him.

"What...what exactly did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, I just let you compete with each other."

When facing the two men, Helian Yun Shen's shyness vanished, replaced by a cold smile. The moment he finished speaking, the two burly men collapsed to the ground, filled with resentment.

'This guy looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet he's already reached the peak of the Free and Unfettered Realm. Could he be the person I'm looking for?'

The woman glanced at Helian Yun Shen out of the corner of her eye. She could clearly sense Helian Yun Shen's strength; at her age, she had only just entered the Vajra Mortal Realm.

This young man was already at the peak of the Free and Easy Realm, and he didn't seem to have just entered it, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to easily defeat these two.

"Young lady, the people chasing you have been dealt with. You're alright now, you can..."

After saying "yes," Helian Yun Shen had no idea what to say next. Over the years, he hadn't had much contact with women and didn't know how to get along with them.

I don't know how to get along with her if she stays, but it feels a bit heartless to ask her to leave, especially since she's injured.

"Young hero, would you accompany me to the next town? I'll leave once I've recovered from my injuries!"

Helian Yun Shen's shy demeanor brought a gentle, spring-like smile to the woman's face. However, what she really wanted to do was test the waters and see if this young man was the one she was looking for.

However, one cannot be too explicit in saying such things.

"If...that's good!"

Helian Yun Shen remained shy, not daring to look at the woman. His words were also somewhat hesitant, displaying the innocent demeanor of a young man.

"Young hero, my name is Yuexi. May I ask your name?"

“My name is Helian Yun Shen. You can call me Yun Shen, that’s what my master calls me.”

"Is it alright for me to call you by such an intimate name?"

Yueyao looked at Helian Yun Shen with a gentle and beautiful smile, and teased him. These teasing words made Helian Yun Shen blush even more.
