Let's go play together

Little Yu simply hugged Su Luo without explaining why.

What had happened during this time?

Su Luo couldn't figure it out.

After a long while, Little Yu finally let go of Su Luo.

"It's nothing," Little Yu said, having sorted out her thoughts a little.

"You don’t look like it’s nothing."

"Su Luo, are you free later?"

Su Luo thought for a moment. The current arc of events had concluded, and now was a time for reflection, so there wasn’t much to do.

"I’m free."

"Let’s go out and have some fun."

Su Luo was surprised to hear such words from Little Yu.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Let me see."

Little Yu took out the Immortal Cultivation Travel Guide, a book she had collected long ago but never used, left to gather dust in the storage room.

"So you’re serious? Since when did Little Yu have this idea?"

Usually, Little Yu was always training and rarely suggested going out for fun.

If Su Luo hadn’t taken her out before, she would never have gone on her own.

"I want to create more memories with you."

After hearing Li Siyi’s words, Little Yu realized that she and Su Luo didn’t actually have many shared experiences. Most of their time together was spent cultivating—or rather, Little Yu cultivating alone.

The most frequent image in her mind was of Su Luo lying around.

That really wasn’t right.

Su Luo checked Little Yu’s condition—her health was fine, and she wasn’t suffering from qi deviation.

Why was she suddenly saying these things?

But still...

"Sure, if you want to go, I’ll accompany you. Where do you want to go?"

For Su Luo, most places in the cultivation world were already familiar.

But that wasn’t a reason to refuse Little Yu.

"How about here?"

Qianjue Mountain, the tallest peak in the South Continent.

Its only notable feature was its height—no secret realms, no fierce beasts.

"Alright."

Since Little Yu was taking the initiative, the destination didn’t matter much.

So Su Luo and Little Yu set off for Qianjue Mountain.

Just like that.

At their level of strength, few places in the cultivation world posed any real danger.

Before leaving, however, Su Luo sent a message to Jiang Ningshu.

Of course, using the diary.

"Jiang Ningshu, Little Yu and I are going out to have fun. You should find somewhere to enjoy yourself too."

He couldn’t let Jiang Ningshu stay in the Heavenly Demon Sect—if she were exposed, it would be troublesome.

As for Nangong Xiyun, Su Luo also had a way to relay the message safely without being detected.

Su Luo summoned Xiao Pa, almost forgetting he had this ability.

Xiao Pa appeared, looking around in confusion. There didn’t seem to be any battle to fight.

Still, she was happy to see Su Luo and immediately started begging for treats.

Food was always her first thought, rubbing against Su Luo’s leg without a trace of her former tsundere attitude.

Su Luo naturally indulged her, but also included a note: "Little Yu and I are going out to have fun. You’re free to do as you please."

"Take this to your master."

Xiao Pa nodded obediently and vanished.

The message reached Nangong Xiyun without issue.

Nangong Xiyun found it strange. "They just left like that?"

Free to do as you please?

Nangong Xiyun decided to make her escape. If Su Luo was gone, why should she stay? It wasn’t like she was actually contributing to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Besides, the Heavenly Demon Sect was going into hiding. As the East Extreme Demon Lord, her disappearance wouldn’t raise eyebrows—this figure had vanished frequently in the past.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ningshu had the same thought. She had planned to leave anyway.

With Su Luo gone, there was no reason to stay in the Night Mysterious Forest.

Then she ran into Nangong Xiyun.

Jiang Ningshu said, "Nangong Xiyun, Su Luo and Little Yu went out to have fun. What do you think?"

"What’s there to think? It’s not the first time they’ve gone out together."

"It feels different this time."

"You’re overthinking it."

"Maybe. So, where are you headed?"

"Back to the Seven Stars Sword Sect. Care to join?" Nangong Xiyun wasn’t actually inviting her—she knew Jiang Ningshu wouldn’t come.

"No need. I’ll wander around for a while."

And so, they went their separate ways.

......

Su Luo and Little Yu disguised themselves slightly before setting off—well, heading to Qianjue Mountain.

After all, they were rather high-profile figures.

In fact, Su Luo was even more notorious than Little Yu, having stirred up enough trouble to earn a spot on the Heavenly Demon Sect’s most-wanted list.

They tried to keep a low profile, but accidents happened.

"Hey there, this is a robbery."

Three bandits appeared.

They had been searching for someone earlier but didn’t hesitate to target Su Luo and Little Yu.

Su Luo shook his head. "You’ve picked the wrong people."

"Hmph, you might not realize it, but we’re at the Foundation Establishment stage. Hand over your valuables if you want to live," one of them sneered.

Somehow, Su Luo found this amusing.

That tone made it sound like they were far stronger.

Still, Foundation Establishment was nothing to scoff at for most people.

"Right, right, you’re so impressive." Just as Su Luo was about to act—

Little Yu moved—but only to hide behind Su Luo. "Su Luo, I’m scared."

Su Luo was baffled. What was up with Little Yu?

This act was a little too fake.

The bandits, however, were pleased. "Heh, fear won’t help you. You’re just unlucky today."

The three attacked—but in a single exchange, Little Yu drew her sword and cut them down.

They died without understanding what had happened.

"So… what was that ‘I’m scared’ act about?"

"I wanted to try the normal procedure."

The normal being robbed procedure? That didn’t apply here.

Su Luo sighed. "Too bad. You’re already a powerhouse now."

At the Dongxu stage, pretending to be a newbie was just excessive.

"You used to act all the time, Su Luo."

"But did you need to act?"

Su Luo had his reasons—did Little Yu have one too?

"No, but maybe I like being protected by you."

"That’s not how it usually goes. You’re always the first to charge in."

As they were talking, another group appeared.

Their uniforms made it clear they were with the earlier bandits.

This time, though, they weren’t robbing anyone—they were chasing a little girl, around twelve years old.

"Hahaha, run all you want—you can’t escape!"

They were clearly toying with her.

Then they saw their dead comrades.

"Who the hell are you?"

They surrounded Su Luo and Little Yu, weapons at the ready.

Su Luo ignored them and asked Little Yu, "So, how do you want to handle this?"

In other words—still acting?

Little Yu decided against it. Once was enough. "This is getting tedious."

The bandits, furious at being ignored, attacked.

But as expected, Little Yu dispatched them effortlessly.

The little girl, though saved, was still terrified—and now afraid of what Su Luo and Little Yu might do to her.
