"Well, you're not wrong. This kid is seriously rash and always do anything with his emotion. He needs to cultivate in peace, maybe somewhere without any distraction," Bai Shijue said.
"This place would be perfect for that, Master Bai," Baishe suggested. "This lair of mine is well protected from any outsider attack, and it is very peaceful for a meditation. The bright white eggs are actually edible as well, though. I doubt that an immortal like you need to eat, Master Bai."
"You're right, but my disciple hasn't reached that stage yet. In fact, he is far from that stage. He is still in his foundation establishment stage for now," Bai Shijue said. "But this lair is indeed the safest one. He also has water affinity in his spiritual root, so the lake would be perfect for him as well."
"I had to move from our previous meditation spot because of a demon cultivator's attack. Of course, I came out unscathed, but my disciple would always be in danger out there."
"Then you can put him here, and I will take care of him," Baishe offered.
"WHAT!?" Han Shun didn't know how could the conversation suddenly develop into him going to be put into this den for cultivation? He was just here to save Bai Gege!
"You heard that right, Han Shun. You will stay here with Baishe, she is an ancient spirit. She can teach you many things while you're cultivating, okay?" Bai SHijue said.
"No, I don't want to!" Han Shun refused. He glared at the white snake and looked at Bai Gege pitifully. He grabbed Bai Gege's arm and clung in his arm, "I don't want to, Bai Gege! Please don't push me away like this!" Han Shun begged.
"Han Shun, this is for the best of you. This is the safest place for you to cultivate. Why are you overreacting anyway? Who will push you away?" Bai Shijue frowned. "I will continue visiting you every night or two, but I don't think we can live together for now. You have been targeted by those demon cultivators. You can't go with me, and I don't think you should go out from this lair until you're strong enough to pass the Forest of Lost Mist."
"But--" Han Shun was tongue-tied when Bai Gege gave him a valid reason. Indeed, he was already targeted by those demonic cultivators. He wasn't strong enough to fight them and would probably become a burden for Bai Gege. Anything that would hurt Bai Gege deserved to be exterminated, including him.
He was already finishing his qi refining stage, but building the foundation and the next stage would be even more difficult and would take longer. So he had to find a safe place to cultivate to avoid being hunted.
'But what is the point of me swallowing the marble from that mysterious man in my dream if I will get separated with Bai Gege again…' Han Shun thought.
'Maybe I should've swallowed more. I don't want to get separated for too long. I don't want to be weak. I will talk to that mysterious man in my dream later and ask for more marble.'
Bai Shijue thought that Han Shun would keep being stubborn, but it turned out he just nodded weakly. Han Shun looked dispirited as he accepted, "Bai Gege, I will meditate here if that's what you want. But please, can you visit me every day?"
…
"I will try to visit you every day, don't worry, Han Shun," Bai SHijue replied. He shifted his gaze at Baishe and ordered, "Baishe, please take care of my disciple, will you? You are adept in four elements, right?"
"I am, Master Bai. I will take care of him. You don't need to worry."
"Good, he needs to be well protected from any attack and disciplined by someone who has the heart to do it. I will try to visit every day with his pet, Chinchin," Bai Shijue said. "But I have to leave now. Goodbye, Han Shun, Baishe."
"Remember, cultivate, and don't try to challenge Baishe. She is a lot stronger than you think."
Bai Gege didn't even let Han Shun hug him again. He just turned around and vanished into thin air, leaving Han Shun alone with this big, floating white snake that started circling around him.
"Master Bai is correct about his assessment to you," Baishe said. "You're brash, stubborn, willful, and hostile to anyone else. It makes me wonder why he keeps you around. He should've picked a better disciple."
"What did you say?!"
"You're stubborn, and your skill isn't even on par to start protecting Master Bai," Baishe repeated with an even worse insult. "You're such a lucky boy to be picked by Master Bai."
Han Shun gritted his teeth. This goddamn white snake dared to insult him just because Bai Gege told him to never attack her.
Baishe observed this Master Han Ye's soul, and she was right. The bait tactic was so effective.
Now the young man was determined to quickly break through his current stage because he was angry to be insulted. It was such a childish method, but since it actually worked, that meant this incarnation of Master Han was indeed just a brash kid who idolized and loved Master Bai so much.
'The good thing is that he is easy to steer and predictable. But…' Baishe looked at Han Shun, who was still in a bad mood.
'I'm afraid he will be easily influenced by anyone when it involves Master Bai. I have a gut feeling this kid could easily wreck chaos if there is a misunderstanding between him and Master Bai.'
'I have to make sure that he is mature enough before allowing him to reach his golden core.'
Baishe slowly went to the lake and dipped underwater. Her scales changed into sky blue once she emerged to the surface, "Come here, kid. I know that you can walk on the water surface, right?"
"Yes…"
"Then come here, we will start cultivating," Baishe ordered. "And I will tell you a thing or two about Master Bai since we're… old friends."
