Chapter 5 — Salty Fish Sister: Slipped to the Fairy Peak

The cave is dark, damp, and dense with mist. We hold our breath as we walk, each step extremely light, our spiritual senses as tight as a string. Suddenly, To Dao Dao's voice rang out from deep inside —— "Lord Demon Lord, the plan has changed... Lam Tieu Ngu must be eliminated!" Immediately after, a hoarse, deep male voice echoed, containing murderous intent: "Is just a small Qi Refining person worthy of your 'Blood Killing Order'?" Me: "..." The system quickly warned: "Warning! Detected the aura of Demon Cultivator Nguyen Anh period! Host request: retreat immediately!" I turned around, my eyes were sparkling as if I was about to cry, I tried to pull Tieu Han's sleeve, signaling with my eyes: "Run!!" But —— Tieu Han's eyes were cold, cold air spread, and he suddenly pulled out his sword: "Don't pull out." Then rush straight into the cave! Me: “！！!” “Are you really crazy?!” In the cave, sword light tore through the darkness. Tieu Han's long sword is like a silver moon, his moves are fierce and sharp, yet he is evenly matched with Ma Ton Nguyen Anh Ky! Every time the sword energy collided, rubble fell like rain, and the air current swirled into a roaring hurricane. Behind, To Dao Dao hid next to a rock, her eyes flashed with a poisonous light.\ When she saw me lurking close to the cave wall, she suddenly curled her lips, pulled out three Dinh Soul Dinh from her sleeve: "Lin Tieu Ngu! Go and die!" Me: “！！！” In a blink of an eye, my body instinctively reacted —— “Pop!!” I lie down on the ground! Three Dinh Hon Dinh "swoosh, swish, swish" flew past the top of the head, pinned deep into the cliff, the rocks shattered! To Dao Dao: “???” It's clear that the target is me, but I'm still alive. Taking advantage of her bewilderment, I immediately rolled on the spot, crawling and crawling, shouting loudly: "Senior Brother Tieu! Save my life aaaaa!!!" Tieu Han forced back Ma Ton with one sword, turned around and pulled me behind him with one hand, his voice was low like the sound of metal colliding: "Hide behind me." Me: “……” “Big brother… Have you finally remembered that I'm just a salty fish?!” Ma Ton smiled fiercely, filled with murderous aura: "Boy! Today, you can't protect her!" As he finished speaking, he burst out with a torrent of demonic energy, causing the entire cave to shake as if it was about to collapse! Tieu Han's complexion changed slightly, his eyes were as deep as the abyss. Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his finger and drew a blood mark on the sword: "Thien Cuong Sword Formation - Open!" OMMMM!!! A dazzling stream of golden light exploded, the sword energy turned into layers of light nets, carrying heavenly power like thunder, pressing straight towards Demon Venerable! Demon Venerable roared, was forced back several feet by the sword energy, and rubble fell loudly! At that moment, To Dao Dao stood behind, her eyes flashed with a ferocious light, suddenly pulled out a blood-red dagger, and silently rushed forward - stabbing straight into Tieu Han's back! Me: “Be careful!!!” “Poof!!” Following my instinctive reflexes, I flew straight towards her, a precise straight shot from the salty fish —— “BAM————!!!” The familiar golden light exploded from my body again! To Dao Dao screamed, was thrown far away, hit the cliff with a "BAM" sound, and fell unconscious! Ma Ton was just about to strike again, when he witnessed this scene, his face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, his voice trembled: "You... you are 'that person'?!" He took a step back in horror, glanced at me with fear, then turned and ran, not daring to turn back! Me: “???” “Wait… what are we doing?!” The system was very serious and slowly said: “Host, yes It seems that the Demon Cultivation World... knows about your 'Salty Fish of Light'." Me: “……” “That… what the hell is that again?!” The mist subsided. To Dao Dao was seriously injured, unconscious, and was immediately escorted away from the scene by law enforcement elders and patrolling disciples. Tieu Han retracted his sword and slowly turned around to look at me. His eyes were complicated, the light in his pupils fluctuated, as if he was thinking about something that was difficult to put into words. “Just now…” I immediately raised my hands above my head, screaming in despair: “I swear! I was just scared!! It has nothing to do with me!” Tieu Han: "..." He was silent for a long time. Finally —— He stepped up, raised his hand, and gently ruffled my hair: “Let's go home.” Me: “?!!!” “Wait… did you just… pat my head?!?!” The “ting!” system a voice, voice full of excitement: “Congratulations host! Tieu Han's good feelings +10086!!!” Me: “……” “System, you… are you sure it's not broken?!” System: “It's not broken, but... perhaps you just accidentally bound a 'hidden boss'.” Me: “……” “What boss???” After only three days, the entire fairy gate was in turmoil! The first shocking news - To Dao Dao's collusion with demon cultivators was completely exposed, she was stripped of her cultivation, expelled from the sect, from a jade bone fairy to a powerless mortal. Second shocking news — Tieu Han's true identity has been exposed! It turns out that he is "Heavenly Sword Immortal Venerable" - the world's number one sword cultivator from a hundred years ago, who fell in the great war between Fairy and Demon, and is now reincarnated! Me: “……” “Let me ask, what thigh am I holding right now?” The system leisurely said: "Host, congratulations - The thigh you are holding... is Golden Immortal level." Me: “……” “Then…?” System: “Then you can lie in the sun even more safely.” Me: “6.” At dawn, Tieu Han carried his sword and appeared in front of my courtyard. Me: “……” Immediately curled up and hid under the blanket, pretending to be dead professionally: “Senior brother Tieu… Today… is not suitable for practicing swords…” Tieu Han: “Not here to practice swords.” I opened my eyes: “???” “So… what are you coming for?” Tieu Han didn't say a word, he threw a token straight into my hand. On the token were engraved two sparkling golden words —— “Dao Lu.” Me: “！！！” “Dao… Dao travel order?! Brother… are you… forcing me to marry you?!” System: “Congratulations host! You have been forcibly bound by a reincarnated Golden Immortal!” Me: “……” “In other words… I was forced into a forced marriage?” System: “Not wrong. Absolutely accurate.” Top 1 headline — “Shocking! Thien Kiem Immortal Venerable is cold and cold, but directly 'forcibly' worships Taoist companion and junior sister!" Top 2 title — “Decoding: Why does Thien Kiem Immortal Venerable value a salty fish that often slips?” Top 3 headlines — “Danger of forced dual practice! Sister Linh: ‘I just want to be a fish drying in the sun QAQ!’” Me: “……” “You all… misunderstood!!” 6 “Dao… Dao companion?!!” I held the command token tightly in my hand, my fingers trembled slightly, and I raised my head to look at Tieu Han's cold, frosty face. "Senior brother Tieu... This joke... is not funny at all..." \\Tieu Han remained expressionless, his voice faint: "It's not a Taoist couple. It's... a fake protector." Me: “???” He took out a jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip opened, each sparkling golden word appeared in the air, emitting a faint radiance: "Thien's secret - this woman carries the destiny of heaven, needs guardian by her side... until the day she ascends." Me: "..." The system leisurely "translated": "In short... you are Thien Dao's beloved daughter, Tieu Han has the duty to watch over you to avoid being killed by heavenly lightning." Me: “……” “Wait… then why does it say ‘Dao Lu’ on the order?!” Tieu Han glanced, his voice still cold as usual: "Mistakenly." Me: “？？？” “Did you take the wrong engagement contract?!” All immortals: “Did you hear that?! Lam Tieu Ngu and Tieu Han have signed a training contract!!!" Me: “……” “I swear! This is blatant slander!!!” On the way down the mountain, the salty sea breeze hit my face. I was munching on a gourd candy, my mouth opened and I asked: "Senior brother Tieu, where are we... going?" Tieu Han stood on the sword, hands clasped behind his back, aura like a fairy descending to earth, eyes straight towards the horizon: "East Sea." I chewed candy: "What are you going to do?" Tieu Han did not turn his head, his voice was calm: "Find... your fish tail." Me: “？？？” “Sorry, what did you just say???” The system seriously warned: "Host, detected keyword 'past life memories'." Me: “……” “Wait… was I really a fish in my past life?!” System: “No. You… are a Koi carp.” Me: “……” “Good guy… No wonder the more I lie down, the stronger I get! Turns out this is a lucky carp buff!” The waves are rolling, white like lightning, the sky and ocean blend into an endless blue strip. In the distance, in the middle of the vast sea, a mysterious fairy island is hidden, covered with a thick layer of mist, filled with spiritual energy, as magical as a dreamland. Tieu Han retracted his long sword, his voice was light, his eyes calm as water: "Here we are." I looked towards the mist covering the fairy island, and an indescribable uneasiness suddenly arose in my heart...

“Whoa!!!”
