#42 - Chapter 42 Erha Erha, repair your own home
Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, the Flower Altar.
Here stood a massive circular altar, resting upon a square platform.
Surrounding the Flower Altar, hundreds of flowers clustered, releasing a fragrant aroma.
Spiritual birds scattered petals in the air, creating a beautiful and pleasant environment.
Many male and female disciples, hand in hand, walked onto the Flower Altar, entrusting their life tablets to each other.
Under the witness of heaven and earth, they exchanged forehead kisses, becoming Daoist partners.
The hall master of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak would present each of them with half of a jade pendant, symbolizing their union.
Once on the Flower Altar and joined as Daoist partners, they could remain together for life.
Of course, if they wished to separate eventually, they had to seek the hall master and obtain their permission before parting.
After separation, they had to wear a flower-shaped jade pendant, proving they once had a Daoist partner but had separated later.
Ascending the Flower Altar was not easy; it required passing three trials to prove their sincerity and genuine feelings for the other.
Only those who passed the three trials could ascend the Flower Altar; those who failed could only be told: "Welcome to try again next time!"
Thinking about it, her cheeks flushed red.
Ye Kong looked up at the Flower Altar, indeed quite remarkable.
When it comes to marriage, one has to look at Ten Thousand Flowers Peak; the Flower Altar of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak is a unique symbol.
Each peak has its unique symbol; Ten Thousand Flowers Peak has the Flower Altar, Beast Taming Peak has the Spirit Beast Garden, and Heavenly Sword Mountain has the Sword Cave.
Free and Unfettered Peak…
Ye Kong thought, his Free and Unfettered Peak seemed to lack a symbol.
This could be something to consider.
The Bitter Sea should count, right?
After looking around, Ye Kong lost much of his interest and said, "Let's go."
Coming to the Flower Altar was purely to endure public displays of affection.
Su Qingwan glanced at the Flower Altar and followed behind Ye Kong, leaving.
"Where did your master go?" Ye Kong asked Su Qingwan.
"Master, and Little White, are also missing," Lin Yaoyao reminded.
"Little White is missing?" Ye Kong finally reacted.
Lin Yaoyao: …
"It's okay; Little White is just playful. He won't get lost on Ten Thousand Flowers Peak," Ye Kong said with a faint smile.
When Ye Kong and the others returned, many male and female disciples mistakenly thought they had become Daoist partners, feeling heartbroken.
"Alas, I missed my chance after all."
After wandering around Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, Ye Kong found Little White in a garden.
"Little White, it's time to go back," Ye Kong called out.
Upon hearing Ye Kong's voice, Little White immediately ran out of the garden.
He didn't want to stay with Liu Ruqing any longer.
"Senior Sister Ruqing, farewell," Ye Kong said with a slight bow.
"Junior Brother, stay and play a while longer; the Ten Thousand Flowers Assembly isn't over yet," Liu Ruqing said.
"No, it's getting dark, and my two disciples should return to cultivate. If they continue playing, their hearts will become wild, hindering their cultivation," Ye Kong said with a faint smile.
Lin Yaoyao: …
I've never been so speechless in my life.
Little White: …
I didn't want to come in the first place; you were the one who wanted to bring me!
I can't wait to go back!
Ye Kong led Little White and Lin Yaoyao out of Ten Thousand Flowers Peak, returning to Free and Unfettered Peak.
Liu Ruqing and Su Qingwan stood in the air, watching them leave.
After they had gone far, Liu Ruqing slowly said, "Disciple, have you fallen for Ye Kong?"
"No… no," Su Qingwan said softly, lowering her head.
Liu Ruqing smiled and said, "I won't interfere with whom you like, but Junior Brother Ye's physique is too weak, and his cultivation is lacking."
"After the Nine Peaks Competition, his Free and Unfettered Peak will likely be gone."
"You can like him, but you must consider the future carefully. Although Ye Kong has someone protecting him, his status will plummet after the competition."
"Think about it carefully."
After Liu Ruqing finished speaking, she flew back to the elegant courtyard.
Su Qingwan stood in the air, watching Ye Kong's back.
Don't worry, I will protect him!
…
Beast Taming Peak.
After Ye Kong and the others left, the disciples of Beast Taming Peak immediately returned to report to Qin Shou.
"Senior Brother, the Peak Master of Free and Unfettered Peak has already left Ten Thousand Flowers Peak."
"Is the Moon Gazing Hound ready?"
"It's ready; it has already been lured to Free and Unfettered Peak."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou immediately smiled and said:
"Good, once something happens at Free and Unfettered Peak and they ask for help, we'll use the excuse of going to help to search for the Little Black Ant."
"Senior Brother Qin Shou is wise!" The disciples of Beast Taming Peak praised.
"Is there any movement from Heavenly Sword Peak?" Qin Shou then asked.
"No."
"Either burst forth in silence or perish in silence. With Chen Changqing's temper, he's probably brewing something bad. I've given him ideas again, so it probably won't be long before he explodes."
"When that time comes, we'll have a good laugh," Qin Shou said with a sinister smile.
…
Free and Unfettered Peak.
After Ye Kong and the others returned, Little White and Lin Yaoyao went back to Peach Mountain to cultivate.
For them, it was just a simple outing; even if many things happened, it didn't affect them in the slightest.
They continued doing what they were supposed to do.
Ye Kong sat by the Bitter Sea, taking out his fishing rod to fish. Half an hour passed, and it gradually became dark.
It's getting dark; time to sleep.
Ye Kong stretched lazily and was about to go back to sleep when he suddenly sensed something approaching from behind.
Turning his head, he saw that it was the dog that was having fun with Junior Nephew Qin Shou last time.
The Moon Gazing Hound stuck out its tongue at Ye Kong and suddenly pounced on him.
"You licking dog, stay away from me!" Ye Kong slapped the Moon Gazing Hound away.
The Moon Gazing Hound fell to the ground, questioning its dog life.
That man is so strong; I can't afford to provoke him.
Just as the Moon Gazing Hound was about to go down the mountain, it suddenly stopped.
In the sky,
a ray of moonlight shone through the dark clouds, illuminating the Moon Gazing Hound. The Moon Gazing Hound howled at the moon.
"Awoo!"
Instantly, its body rapidly grew larger, comparable to a small mountain peak.
Its fur stood on end, and its claws were as sharp as thorns.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and its strength soared. After entering a berserk state, it slapped Ye Kong with its paw.
"Hey, I told you to stay away from me, but you still came over. Do you want to be beaten?"
Ye Kong shook his head and gently waved his palm.
The mighty spiritual power directly enveloped the Moon Gazing Hound, extracting all the berserk power from its body and beating it up.
The Moon Gazing Hound was beaten until it lay on the ground, only as tall as Ye Kong's knee, beaten into just a dog, no longer daring to bark.
Ye Kong looked at the Moon Gazing Hound in front of him and felt that this thing looked very familiar.
Like a husky, its fur was black and white, and its intelligence was very low.
It could imitate wolf howls and dog barks.
Ye Kong looked at the husky in front of him and pondered, "My eldest disciple has a cat. I'll get Little White a pet too, so he won't sleep in every day."
"From now on, you will be called Erha," Ye Kong said to the Moon Gazing Hound.
"Woof!" Erha responded, filled with fear towards Ye Kong.
"Remember to bark a few times every morning to wake up my disciple," Ye Kong instructed.
Erha: ???
I'm a dog, not a rooster!
"Go build yourself a doghouse to sleep in. Don't howl or run around at night, and most importantly, don't bite randomly, or I'll stew you."
After Ye Kong warned it, he turned around and went back to Free and Unfettered Pavilion to sleep.
Although he didn't know where the husky came from, it was not bad to take it in for Little White.
Erha lay on the ground, questioning its dog life.
Build my own doghouse?
Although I am a dog, I feel you are more…!
