#272 - Chapter 272 You have grown up and need to learn to be independent
The next day, early in the morning.
Ye Kong woke up early and went to the edge of the Bitter Sea to fish.
The Earth Mother was already there, waiting expectantly.
"Ye Kong, just take me once, please? If you take me, I'll agree to any condition you set!" Earth Mother pleaded bitterly.
"Why do you insist on going to the Desolate Forbidden Land?" Ye Kong couldn't help but ask.
"I just want to see Hong's tomb," Earth Mother said directly.
"To me, Hong is like a father. He was buried in the Desolate Forbidden Land, and as his child, I want to offer him incense."
Earth Mother spoke very sincerely, as if it were true.
"Are you sure it's not for the food?" Ye Kong turned his head suspiciously.
Earth Mother was stunned, and retorted, "Am I, the Earth Mother, the kind of person who only thinks about eating?"
"You're not a person," Ye Kong said.
"Then I'm not just a spirit who only thinks about eating either. I am the spirit of the earth, a very noble, powerful, and formidable spirit of the earth, not a glutton," Earth Mother said, hands on her hips, annoyed.
As the spirit of the earth, her identity and strength were both very strong.
Wherever she went, as long as someone recognized her identity, they would treat her as a guest of honor.
Even the Great Emperors of the Immortal Cultivation World would treat her with respectful courtesy.
After all, her status was what it was.
But in Ye Kong's eyes, Earth Mother was just a glutton.
And a shameless one at that.
Who would steal fish in the middle of the night if they were normal?
Who would eat the Kui Cow clan to extinction if they were normal?
"Alright, alright, Spirit of the Earth, if you have the ability, go yourself," Ye Kong couldn't listen anymore.
"I don't have the ability," Earth Mother readily admitted.
Ye Kong: …
He saw Ye Qingjun walking out of the Carefree Pavilion and waved his hand to shoo Earth Mother away.
"Go play somewhere else, I'm going to teach my disciple."
Earth Mother watched Ye Qingjun come out and muttered, "I can take Ye Qingjun."
"You dare! If you dare to ruin my disciple, tricking her into going to the Desolate Forbidden Land, I'll break your legs," Ye Kong said directly.
Earth Mother pouted and said nothing, silently merging into the Jade Pure Willow Branch.
A moment later,
Ye Qingjun rubbed her eyes and walked to Ye Kong's side, sitting under the willow tree and leaning on Ye Kong to continue sleeping.
"Qingjun," Ye Kong called out softly.
"That's right, you have to rest by yourself, cultivate alone, you can't always cling to your master, you're a big kid now," Ye Kong explained.
"But I've only been born for a day or two," Ye Qingjun said.
One sentence left Ye Kong speechless.
In terms of age, Ye Qingjun was an infant, but in terms of body, she was a teenage girl.
"Although you've only been born for a day or two, you're not small anymore," Ye Kong continued.
Hearing this, Ye Qingjun scratched her head and said, "But I'm afraid when I'm alone."
"Afraid of what?"
"Afraid of the dark, even more afraid of being alone," Ye Qingjun continued.
She was now like a blank sheet of paper, not yet stained by any ink. She would feel fear when she was alone in the dark.
And her closest person was only Ye Kong, so she would run to find Ye Kong late at night.
Earth Mother saw an opportunity and, taking advantage of Ye Qingjun's sleep, quietly slipped out of the Jade Pure Willow Branch and sat on the other side of Ye Kong, whispering:
"I'll help you take care of the child, you take me to the Desolate Forbidden Land!"
Hearing this, Ye Kong took a deep look at Earth Mother and pondered for a moment.
"Alright, you help me take care of Ye Qingjun, and I'll take you to the Desolate Forbidden Land," Ye Kong said directly.
It wasn't good for Ye Qingjun to always be clingy. Although she didn't understand anything, after all, men and women were different.
It would be fine if Earth Mother took care of her.
"Let's see how it goes in two days. If it goes well, I'll take you there," Ye Kong said.
"No problem!" Earth Mother said confidently, she was very confident.
As the Mother of the Earth, wasn't taking care of a child simple?
Ye Qingjun slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.
After waking up, Ye Kong gently tapped Ye Qingjun's brow, passing on the cultivation method to Ye Qingjun.
"Study hard, this is the cultivation method you need to learn," Ye Kong said to Ye Qingjun with a smile.
"Mmm," Ye Qingjun nodded.
Lin Yaoyao walked over from Peach Mountain, looked at Ye Qingjun, and asked, "Weren't you at Peach Mountain last night?"
She got up this morning to call Ye Qingjun to practice, but when she opened the door, she saw that Ye Qingjun wasn't there.
The room was also very tidy, not like it had been lived in.
"I wasn't," Ye Qingjun said directly.
"Then where did you go?" Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but ask.
"I went to find Master," Ye Qingjun said, leaning on Ye Kong's shoulder.
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao was stunned and looked at Master in surprise.
"You… you rested together last night?"
"That's right," Ye Qingjun nodded.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yaoyao was greatly shocked.
"Master, this is not right, at least should not be!" Lin Yaoyao was somewhat disappointed in Master.
How old is Little Sister!
You not only tricked people into coming up the mountain, but also…
Seeing that Lin Yaoyao had misunderstood, Ye Kong couldn't help but say, "Disciple, you have misunderstood."
"Misunderstood? You didn't rest together last night?" Lin Yaoyao asked, looking at Master coldly.
"That, disciple, although we rested together, we didn't do anything."
"What else did you want to do, Master?"
Ye Kong: …
Well, it can't be explained clearly.
"Ye Qingjun is just a child, alone since childhood, she regards Ye Kong as a father," Earth Mother said from the side.
"Child?" Lin Yaoyao looked at Ye Qingjun, who was one meter forty-five.
"Let me put it this way, she is just a blank sheet of paper, not yet stained by any color, and she will feel fear and fear when she is alone."
"And Ye Kong is the first person to enter her world, both teacher and father, understand?" Earth Mother continued to explain.
Lin Yaoyao instantly understood.
"That, Master, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you," Lin Yaoyao apologized awkwardly.
"It's okay, I'll let the Earth Spirit take care of her," Ye Kong looked at Earth Mother.
"I will also take care of Junior Sister," Lin Yaoyao said.
Ye Qingjun looked at the fierce Senior Sister, took Ye Kong's hand, and said weakly:
"Senior Sister is so fierce."
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao was stunned, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I am your Senior Sister, if you listen to me, I won't be fierce to you, if you don't listen to me, I will hit you."
"If you hit me, I'm not afraid, I have Master," Ye Qingjun took Ye Kong's hand.
"Heh, I can hit your Master and she won't care," Lin Yaoyao said, hands on her hips.
Ye Qingjun couldn't help but look at Master for help.
"Qingjun, it's okay, you cultivate well, listen to your Senior Sister and it will be okay, if she hits you, come and tell me," Ye Kong said with a smile, comforting her.
"Hit her butt!" Ye Qingjun said.
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao lowered her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ye Kong smiled and didn't say anything, letting Ye Qingjun follow Lin Yaoyao to Peach Mountain to cultivate.
