Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Yu Huaizhou had fallen asleep at some point.

When I woke up, it was dark.

Yu Huaizhou rubbed his eyes, got up and put on his coat and shoes. He went out to look for Sheng Yuan but couldn't find him.

So he put his hands together, chanted an incantation, and followed the aura left by his master, then followed the light in his hands to the back of the sleeping quarters to find him.

The layout of the main peak is different from that of Zhushan Peak. Yu Huaizhou didn't know the way at all. He only knew that he kept looking around along the way, and finally arrived at Wenyang Hot Spring.

The place was vast, winding and turning, and Yu Huaizhou finally found the small hot spring where Sheng Yuan was.

Yu Huaizhou looked at the figure in the center of the hot spring and did not move forward.

The pavilion was surrounded by lush green bamboo. The curtains on all four sides of the pavilion were fluttering in the breeze, and one could vaguely see the hot spring inside, with steam rising and clouds of mist swirling around. In the center of the hot spring, a man stood with his back to him, his hair disheveled, motionless, yet surrounded by a blue light like smoke. The circular array was complex and Yu Huaizhou could not understand it.

Suddenly, the formation vanished, and the blue light obediently returned to Sheng Yuan's body, whereupon he stood up.

Through the gap in the curtain, Yu Huaizhou saw him suddenly stand up. His eyes were met with long, half-wet hair hanging down to his waist, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and water droplets on his fair skin.

Yu Huaizhou blushed upon seeing this and quickly turned to leave.

"Since you're here, why run?" Sheng Yuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "Your third senior uncle's tracking skills are quite good."

When Yu Huaizhou realized she had been discovered, her face turned red all the way to her neck. When she turned around, Sheng Yuan had already left the hot spring, changed his clothes, and dried his hair, which he casually held back with a jade hairpin.

"...Master, I didn't mean it." Yu Huaizhou was a little embarrassed.

Sheng Yuan didn't tease him any further, but said, "It's alright, since you're here anyway, why don't you go soak in the hot spring up there?"

Sheng Yuan raised his hand, gesturing for him to come over.

Each of the small hot springs in Wenyang Hot Spring has a different therapeutic effect. The hot spring that Sheng Yuan told Yu Huaizhou to soak in is very close to the one that Sheng Yuan soaked in; it's just a few steps away.

"Soak for only half an hour," Sheng Yuan instructed.

Yu Huaizhou obediently went upstairs to soak in the hot spring, while Sheng Yuan stayed in the pavilion to rest.

Sheng Yuan walked across the wooden floor to an open space, and with a wave of his hand, a chair appeared, along with a small incense burner.

Sheng Yuan sat in meditation with his eyes closed. Yu Huaizhou swam to the edge of the hot spring, lifted a corner of the curtain, and could still see Sheng Yuan's back as he meditated.

Yu Huaizhou rested his hands on the platform by the hot spring, his head on his arm, staring at Sheng Yuan's back, lost in thought.

Half an hour later, Yu Huaizhou changed into the clothes that had been prepared in advance and came out, going downstairs to Sheng Yuan's side.

Seeing that Sheng Yuan did not react, Yu Huaizhou walked to the chair, sat on the footstool, and stared up at Sheng Yuan's face.

His master had very fair skin, long eyelashes, and deep-set eyes.

According to his third senior uncle, when Master made his first appearance at the disciple-acceptance ceremony, many people wanted to become his Daoist partners, but he was a blockhead who only wanted to cultivate and had no interest in such matters.

Thanks to his talent and hard work over the years, his master became the first and only Nascent Soul cultivator among his generation of disciples, surpassing even the sect leader and many elders in cultivation.

The grandmaster had become quite adept at helping his master refuse marriages because he had done so many times.

Judging from his appearance and powerful cultivation, Master certainly has the ability to charm everyone.

Given their current status, whoever becomes the Daoist partner of the Master will become the head wife of the Pure Cultivation Sect.

Yu Huaizhou just stared at him, his eyes meeting Sheng Yuan's open gaze.

As soon as Sheng Yuan opened his eyes, he saw Yu Huaizhou staring at him, and adjusted his sitting posture.

Seeing Sheng Yuan put his legs down, Yu Huaizhou rested his head on Sheng Yuan's thigh; he had wanted to do this for a long time.

Sheng Yuan reached out and rubbed his head.

Actually, when I was a child, I often saw Senior Brother Bai Si leaning against Third Uncle like this. Third Uncle was usually very serious, and he was a little scared.

Now he has a master to rely on.

Yu Huaizhou lay on Sheng Yuan's lap, his head being stroked by Sheng Yuan, and he looked at Sheng Yuan and laughed.

Is there anything else that's bothering you?

"No."

The hot spring was indeed effective; he felt very comfortable at that moment.

"Master."

"Ok?"

Yu Huaizhou stopped laughing and said, "I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that you couldn't come to save me, and I was forced to marry Geng Jilan. I..."

His voice grew softer and softer, tinged with a hint of sobbing.

Sheng Yuan quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, dreams are the opposite of reality. With your teacher here, such a thing will never happen."

Yu Huaizhou asked tentatively, "Will Master always stay with me and protect me?"

"Yes." Sheng Yuan answered without the slightest hesitation, "I will always be with you and protect you."

For some reason, Yu Huaizhou stared at Sheng Yuan's eyes, which reddened and filled with tears.

"My father once said that to me too."

When Yu Huaizhou first transformed into a human, he was still a child. At that time, he was ignorant about everything in the world. Yu Yibai happened to meet him and saved him.

Yu Yibai's appearance became Yu Huaizhou's enlightenment in this world, and also the first person Yu Huaizhou trusted.

“Things are unpredictable. If it weren’t for that great battle, many people wouldn’t have broken their promises. He didn’t mean it,” Sheng Yuan explained, patting his head.

Among those who did not return from that great battle were the original owner's master, uncles and aunts, as well as fellow disciples and sisters.

Bai Chen was left in the sect by the former sect leader to guard it, while his Daoist partner, the original owner's senior sister, also sacrificed herself on the battlefield. The senior brother has been raising Bai Si, the only child left to him by his senior sister, for many years.

In fact, there are many more tragedies. For every person who dies, there are people who grieve and suffer for them.

"I know."

Yu Huaizhou's voice was very soft, as he tried to hold back his sobs.

This was no secret within the Qingxiu Sect. He never blamed his father, but he always felt envious watching his third senior uncle and senior brother Bai Si get along when he was on Zhushan Peak.

On Mount Zhushan, he was the nephew of his third senior uncle and the only inner disciple of the sect leader, so even when the sect leader practiced fasting, no one bullied him.

His third senior uncle clearly cared for him; otherwise, no one would have pretended to befriend him while actually using his status to avoid punishment. At first, he thought they were sincere, but after being beaten so many times, he finally saw through their facade.

The human heart can be divided into good and evil, and one's thoughts are not easily seen through. This was the most memorable lesson he learned in the classroom at Mount Everest.

"He was a man of great righteousness, and he died to protect the common people. He died a worthy death."

Sheng Yuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears that he couldn't help but shed, and then said, "The word 'sacrifice' itself is a tragedy, and anyone who is willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the common people is great. We sing praises to such great people, and we also hope to do our best to reduce such tragedies of unavoidable sacrifices."

Yu Huaizhou nodded, "Disciple has learned a lot."

"Don't cry. From now on, your teacher will protect you and stay with you."

"It's so good to have a master!" Yu Huaizhou stared at Sheng Yuan's gentle smile, his tone filled with deep trust and reliance.

But Sheng Yuan could hear the bitterness in his words.

Sheng Yuan patted his head tenderly.
