Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows. Despite the many trials and tribulations they had endured, the group continued their journey towards the unknown safe haven. You Ruo clung tightly to Hua Qiangu, her little mouth never stopping as she chattered away about something interesting.

"Master, you said that although our journey has been full of dangers, it has also been so interesting! There must be even more fun things to come, right?" You Ru blinked her bright eyes and looked at Hua Qiangu with anticipation.

Hua Qiangu chuckled and pinched her nose, saying, "You silly girl, you're just looking forward to those thrilling adventures, aren't you? Don't just think about having fun, you have to learn some skills!"

"Oh, Master, I know! You can learn skills while having fun, hehe!" You Ruo playfully stuck out her tongue.

Just then, a dazzling light flashed, and then an incredibly radiant figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Wow! It's Sister Sha!" Hua Qiangu's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with surprise and joy. She rushed over and hugged the person tightly, her voice trembling with excitement: "Sister, where have you been? I've missed you so much! You have no idea how much I've been hoping to see you again every day!"

Sha Qianmo was slightly swayed by the sudden, enthusiastic hug, but quickly regained her balance. She smiled and gently patted Hua Qiangu's back, scolding her playfully, "Oh dear, little one, look at you rushing around like that! Your older sister is here! I have my own things to do, but I've been thinking about you the whole time. Don't keep nagging me!"

"Hmph, you've been thinking about me for so long without showing up. I thought you'd completely forgotten about me! I've been so sad for so long!" Hua Qiangu pouted and pretended to be angry as she spoke loudly, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Sha Qianmo, showing no intention of letting go.

"Haha, little one, how could your sister forget you! You are the most precious little one in my heart. That's why I rushed to find you as soon as I had a free moment. Don't be sad, look at your wrinkled face, you're not pretty at all!" Sha Qianmo said as he reached out and pinched Hua Qiangu's cheek, his eyes full of doting affection.

You Ruo, who had been staring in amazement, finally came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward, asking curiously, "Master, who is this celestial beauty? Why are you so close to her? She seems much closer than a sister!"

Hua Qiangu then let go of Sha Qianmo, but still held her hand tightly, and introduced her to You Ruo with a smile: "You Ruo, this is my sister, Sha Qianmo. She is very powerful, and she is the most beautiful person in the world! Sister, this is my new disciple You Ruo. She is a very clever and cute little girl."

Upon hearing this, Sha Qianmo immediately turned his gaze to You Ruo, sizing her up and down before saying with a smile, "Oh, little one, you've taken on a disciple already! This little girl certainly seems quite clever. You Ruo, right? From now on, learn your skills well from your master. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention your sister's name, and see who dares to lay a finger on you! Your sister will back you up, and I guarantee I'll beat those bad guys to a pulp!"

Upon hearing this, You Ruo's face flushed with excitement, her eyes shining, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Wow! Thank you, Sister Sha! I will definitely learn skills from Master! Sister Sha, you are so beautiful, like a fairy who fell from the sky! I like Sister Sha so much, I love you to death!"

"Haha, this little mouth is as sweet as honey, much better at talking than your master, so adorable!" Sha Qianmo laughed happily.

Bai Zihua walked over unhurriedly, his expression still calm and composed. After giving a slight nod as a greeting, he said, "Sha Qianmo, it's been a long time. What brings you here?"

Sha Qianmo rolled her eyes at Bai Zihua and replied irritably, "Oh, Bai Zihua, what's wrong? Do I need some reason to come see Little Dot? I just missed her and wanted to see her, is that not allowed? Do I have to have some purpose for coming? You're really old-fashioned!"

“Of course you can, but the world is not peaceful these days. You should be careful coming here so rashly,” Bai Zihua said calmly.

"Hmph, do I need you to worry about me? I, Sha Qianmo, can go wherever I want, and who can do anything to me? I'm not afraid of those demons and monsters. But you, don't you dare not take good care of the little one, or I'll never forgive you!" Sha Qianmo crossed his arms and retorted with an arrogant expression.

Dongfang Yuqing also joined in with a smile, jokingly saying, "Haha, the atmosphere is so much more lively now that Sister Sha is here! But seriously, Sister Sha, where have you been having so much fun lately? I've been thinking about you for ages."

Sha Qianmo glanced at Dongfang Yuqing and said with a smile, "I went to deal with some of the messy things in the sect. Those old guys are so troublesome, they drive me crazy! If it weren't for the little one, I wouldn't bother with them. I would have been off somewhere having a good time by now."

"Oh, I see. Is everything settled now?" Dongfang Yuqing continued to ask.

"Of course, look who I am! What could possibly be difficult for me? I took care of it in no time, and then rushed over to find Little One." Sha Qianmo proudly raised his chin.

Hua Qiangu took Sha Qianmo's hand again and said coquettishly, "Sister, now that you're here, don't leave. Come with us to a safe place. With you by my side, I feel much more at ease. I was so worried about you when you weren't here, afraid you might encounter some danger."

"Hmm... well, I'll think about it some more, since I still have some things to finish. But since you miss me so much, I'll accompany you for a while. However, if anything comes up, I'll still have to leave." Sha Qianmo frowned slightly and said hesitantly.

"Oh, sister, please say yes, okay? Please! If you leave, I'll start missing you again, and I won't be able to eat or sleep!" Hua Qiangu shook Sha Qianmo's hand and pleaded desperately.

"Alright, alright, I can't stand you little brat. I can't handle your whining. Well then, I'll walk with you for a while. But don't cling to me too much, or I won't take care of you anymore!" Sha Qianmo said with a helpless smile.

"Yay! That's great! My sister is the best! I knew she loved me the most!" Hua Qiangu jumped up and down excitedly, her joy was indescribable.

You Ruo happily chimed in, "Wow, it's so great to have Sister Sha traveling with us! It feels so much safer! Sister Sha must be incredibly powerful, able to drive all those bad things far away. I admire Sister Sha so much!"

The group continued on their journey. Along the way, Sha Qianmo and Hua Qiangu chatted and laughed, sharing their experiences over the past few days.

"Little one, you really need to talk to your sister about taking on a disciple. How did you suddenly end up taking on a disciple?" Sha Qianmo asked curiously.

Hua Qiangu then recounted in detail to Sha Qianmo the process of You Ruo becoming his disciple, from You Ruo's initial longing look to the amusing anecdotes that followed, to the moment of her formal apprenticeship—she described it all with remarkable vividness. Sha Qianmo listened with great interest, nodding occasionally and making a few witty remarks now and then.

"Haha, this girl You Ruo has quite the eye! She knows to take you, little one, as her master. She'll definitely learn a lot of skills from you in the future. And she's quite clever and cute too. I like her very much!" Sha Qianmo said with a smile.

"Of course! My master is amazing! I will definitely study hard!" You Ruo said proudly when she heard the praise, puffing out her chest.

After walking for a while, it gradually got dark.

Looking at the sky, Dongfang Yuqing exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's getting dark again! We need to find a place to rest quickly, lest we encounter any danger in the dark!"

Bai Zihua looked around and pointed to a cave not far away, saying, "There's a cave over there that looks fairly secluded. Let's go there and take shelter for the night."

The group then headed towards the cave. Once inside, Luo Shiyi gathered some dry firewood and started a fire.

Everyone sat down around the fire. You Ruo sat next to Hua Qiangu, feeling particularly at ease. Sha Qianmo sat on Hua Qiangu's other side, occasionally tidying her hair, looking like a doting older sister.

"Master, I'm so happy today! First, I twisted my ankle and Master healed it with the spiritual spring water. Now I've seen Sister Sha. This day has been so wonderful!" You Ruo said softly, her face beaming with happiness.

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Yes, Youruo, I was really happy today. I hope I can be this happy every day in the future."

Sha Qianmo laughed and said, "Haha, little one, with your big sister here, I'll make sure you're happy every day. If anyone dares to make you unhappy, I won't let them get away with it!"

Just then, a strange sound came from outside the cave, as if something was moving through the woods, rustling the branches and leaves.

Dongfang Yuqing was startled and exclaimed, "Oh dear, what's that sound? Is there some danger again?"

Bai Zihua's expression hardened. He stood up, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said solemnly, "Everyone be careful. Don't make a sound yet. Let's see what's going on!"

You Ruo also tensed up, gripping Hua Qiangu's hand tightly, and whispered, "Master, I'm scared..."

Hua Qiangu comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Youruo, your master is here, everything will be alright!"

Luo Shiyi also gripped his weapon tightly, stood up, and looked warily outside the cave.

The strange sound grew closer, and soon a dark figure appeared at the cave entrance. Upon closer inspection, they saw it was a huge black bear, its eyes gleaming with ferocity as it stared menacingly at them.

Dongfang Yuqing swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "Oh dear, what a huge black bear! What are we going to do?"

You Ruo was so frightened that she hid behind Hua Qiangu, her voice trembling as she said, "Master, this black bear is so scary! We need to find a way to get rid of it!"

Hua Qiangu stood up, stood in front of You Ruo, and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, everyone, let's go together and drive this black bear away!"

Luo Shiyi also raised his weapon and shouted, "Alright, let's attack together!"

So the group engaged in a fierce battle with the black bear.

Although You Ruo was scared, seeing everyone so brave, she mustered her courage, stepped out from behind Hua Qiangu, picked up her weapon, and charged towards the black bear, shouting, "I'm here to help too! I want to protect Master!"

With everyone's concerted efforts, after a fierce battle, the black bear was finally driven back in defeat. In the end, it glanced at everyone, turned around, and ran into the woods.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. You Ruo ran over, looked at Hua Qiangu, and asked anxiously, "Master, are you alright?"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "I'm fine, Youruo, you're very brave too!"

Dongfang Yuqing patted his chest and said, "Oh dear, that scared me to death! Luckily we chased it away, it was really not easy!"

Bai Zihua sheathed his sword and said, "It's good that everyone is alright, but we still need to be vigilant, as there may be other dangers."

The group sat back down around the fire and rested for a while, but no one dared to actually fall asleep, and they all kept a close watch on the sounds outside the cave.

As dawn broke, the group packed their belongings and continued their journey to safety.

The appearance of Sha Qianmo and his experiences along the way have become increasingly precious amidst the constant thrills and challenges, becoming a warm memory in everyone's hearts and inspiring them to continue moving forward to face unknown difficulties and dangers.
