My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Yu Chi Zhen had been living at Dan Peak for almost half a year now. She was feeling homesick and missing Li Shiwen, especially in recent days.

Li An could now control the sword energy within his body with ease. She no longer wished to stay at Dan Peak and thought about returning to Danyang City.

No matter how wonderful Dan Peak was, no matter how much it was a place of immortals or how rich it was in spiritual energy, it wasn't her home. In her heart, nothing could compare to Danyang City.

Often, home is simply where a certain person is. It could be father, mother, lover, or child. For Yu Chi Zhen, home was where Li Shiwen and Li An were.

"Brother Qin, I want to go back," Yu Chi Zhen said to Qin Ran after breakfast that day. "Peace can control his power now and won't accidentally hurt others anymore. It's time for us to return."

Qin Ran was tilting his head, watching Li Shiyin cleaning dishes in the kitchen. His Sword Immortal of Dan Peak had finally developed a virtuous and gentle demeanor, wearing an apron that gave her a unique charm.

The current Li Shiyin could handle both formal occasions and household chores. With an apron on, she was his silly disciple; with a sword in hand, she was the peerless sword immortal.

Hearing Yu Chi Zhen's words, Qin Ran turned his head to see her sitting on the sofa with Li An in her arms.

Li An was restless in her embrace, wielding a wooden sword and practicing sword techniques.

The wooden sword was carved by his aunt, and the sword techniques were taught by her too. Though his aunt could be fierce at times, she treated him well in the end.

Oh, he finally had clothes on and wasn't running around naked anymore. Since he could control his sword energy and wouldn't easily tear his clothes apart, Yu Chi Zhen had promptly dressed him.

As for his experiences running around naked everywhere...

Perhaps he was too young to remember, but the disciples of the Dao Sword Sect would surely remember and help preserve these memories. Some might record it with light arrays or light-storing stones, others might paint it, and so on.

In any case, when he grows up and faces important moments in life, there would be no shortage of embarrassing material.

"Yes, he can indeed control his sword energy now. He learned quite quickly," Qin Ran smiled, reaching out to touch Li An's chubby cheeks, praising him, "He's an excellent child."

Although Li An was quite mischievous, causing trouble everywhere in the Dao Sword Sect with Chasing the Wind, leaving few places unscathed, he could still be called a good child.

His sword energy seed was planted by Li Shiyin, with the purpose of gradually transforming his body before he began cultivation, making it easier for him to practice the sword path; and once he started cultivating, the sword energy seed would serve as his foundation.

This sword energy seed in his dantian should have been completely fine.

But when Xuanqin launched a fierce attack on Wuyi City, he, barely a month old, sensed his father was in mortal danger and forcefully activated the sword energy seed to save his father.

The consequence of forcefully activating the sword energy seed was that the sword energy leaked out, and he couldn't control it.

Since he activated the sword energy seed out of filial piety, even if he was naughty and used his sword energy to cause trouble, it was understandable.

Even if it wasn't understandable, the blame should fall on Chasing the Wind who led him to cause trouble.

Moreover, after half a year of effort, he had mastered control of the sword energy... what more could one ask from a six-month-old infant?

He truly was as good a child as one could hope for.

"He should go back to see his father too. I won't keep you mother and son any longer," Qin Ran continued with a smile. "Otherwise, when he's old enough to recognize people but doesn't know his own father, when he can speak but doesn't know how to call him dad, Li Shiwen would be devastated."

"That won't happen, Peace is very well-behaved," Yu Chi Zhen pressed her face against Li An's and smiled, "Peace, come on, say 'mother.'"

"Mother~" Li An, busy practicing his sword to be a great hero, perfunctorily called out once, just to humor these boring adults.

Qin Ran looked at Yu Chi Zhen's expression and felt relieved. As a mother, she hadn't been left with any psychological trauma from her initial encounters with Li An.

When they first returned to Dan Peak, Yu Chi Zhen unknowingly went to hug Li An and was cut all over by the sword energy surrounding him.

"For the past half year, I've been living at Dan Peak, enjoying your hospitality and care, and I'm truly grateful for the trouble," Yu Chi Zhen began making polite farewell thanks. "And regarding Peace's situation, I'm especially thankful to Brother Qin. Particularly Chasing the Wind, who has been most attentive to Li An."

Well, forget about the rest, but that fellow Chasing the Wind being attentive? He just thought it was fun...

"We're all family, sister-in-law, no need for such formalities," Qin Ran replied politely. "Consider Dan Peak your own home. This time you're leaving because you've been away too long, so I won't keep you. In the future, feel free to visit Dan Peak anytime. Have Shiyin bring you by sword flight, it takes but a blink of an eye. The spiritual energy at Dan Peak is abundant, good for the body, with life-extending effects..."

As they were talking, Li Shiyin finished cleaning the dishes and walked over. With her long hair tied back and wearing an apron, she had the gentle and virtuous air of a housewife.

"Sister-in-law is leaving?" she asked while removing her apron and naturally leaning against Qin Ran.

"Yes, I've been away too long, it's time to go back. Find some time to take us back," Yu Chi Zhen nodded.

"Find some time? Why wait?" Li Shiyin blinked and smiled, "There's no time like the present, let's go today!"

"Today?" Yu Chi Zhen was startled, not expecting Li Shiyin to be so direct, but she nodded, "That works too."

Li Shiyin stood up and went upstairs while tying her hair, saying, "Let me change clothes, and we'll head back soon. Sister-in-law, you should pack your things too..."

Seeing her like this, Yu Chi Zhen shook her head and smiled, "Still as impetuous as ever."

"Isn't that just who she is?" Qin Ran's eyes were full of fondness.

As noon approached, Chasing the Wind was called back to serve as transportation. He transformed into his original form, a huge white tiger lying on the grass in front of the small wooden house. One might wonder which was larger, him or the house.

Beside him, under the old spirit locust tree, Long Qiqi was saying a reluctant goodbye to Li An.

Before Qin Ran and the others returned, Long Qiqi had been solely responsible for looking after Li An, and those months had exhausted the poor snake to the point of stupor. After handing over her duties, she slept for seven or eight days straight before recovering.

But now, when it came time to properly bid farewell to Li An, she was quite reluctant, with reddened eyes, constantly reminding Li An to "remember auntie," afraid he would forget her as soon as he left.

Meanwhile, Qin Ran was by Sword Washing Lake, discussing upcoming study and cultivation tasks with Zhang Junyi, and planning future arrangements for the Chief Alchemy Hall with Yan Yi.

Yes, Qin Ran was also going back with Yu Chi Zhen.

Not just him, Li Shiyin was going too.

What were they going to do?

He wanted to visit Li Zhan and his wife, Li Shiyin wanted to see her parents in this world, and afterward, they would hold a wedding ceremony.

Although they had already consummated their relationship, they still needed to make it official. Even though they were cultivators who could fly, they shouldn't skip the simple formalities.

Particularly since Qin Ran was someone who valued ceremony.

Tushan Youyou stood on Chasing the Wind's back, neatly arranging large red festive gift boxes.

The boxes contained things like pills, medicinal materials, medicinal wine, spirit stones, gold, and fabrics. Previously, when Qin Ran met Li's family, he had casually handed out pills and spiritual wine like they were candies or cigarettes.

However, since this visit was to present gifts and propose marriage, proper packaging was necessary.

...The gift boxes were actually made on the spot by Tushan Youyou using magic, with peach wood as the material. Standing close, one could still smell the fragrant scent of peach wood.

"Fly steadily when you're in the air, don't drop anything," she warned Chasing the Wind while arranging the boxes.

"Rest assured, my flying technique is rock solid," Chasing the Wind replied carelessly.

"If you drop even one..." However, Tushan Youyou didn't quite trust Chasing the Wind, squinting her eyes threateningly, "See how I'll deal with you!"

Chasing the Wind's neck tensed as he suddenly remembered learning arrays under Tushan Youyou's stick.

His array learning wasn't great, but he had certainly taken enough beatings.

"You're a lady, you should be gentle," he said weakly.

"I'm a fox spirit!"

After Qin Ran finished giving instructions, he climbed onto Chasing the Wind's back and looked toward the Spiritual Locust tree, only to find Long Qiqi still crying inconsolably.

And now she wasn't crying alone - she had successfully made Li An and Yu Chi Zhen cry along with her.

Li Shiyin watched the scene from the side, feeling quite helpless, and could only turn back to look at him pleadingly.

Qin Ran shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's not like Li An won't come back. He'll return in a few years to continue his cultivation. What are you crying about?"

"Children are forgetful. Who knows, once he goes back, he might forget about me tomorrow," Long Qiqi said through her tears.

"Ah!" Qin Ran looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "Then come with us. We actually need someone to be our flower girl."

"Eh?" Long Qiqi suddenly stopped crying mid-sob. She just realized that she wasn't confined to Dan Peak, and could freely come and go as she pleased. Perhaps only Tushan Youyou had some restrictions.

She immediately cheered up, picked up Li An, kissed him on the cheek, and started jumping around excitedly, "Yay! We can go back together..."

And so, Chasing the Wind's back gained another passenger... a snake.

"So, can't you fly by yourself?" Chasing the Wind sighed and asked Long Qiqi, "If you want to go, just fly there yourself! It's not like you can't fly."

"I won't!" Long Qiqi said smugly, bouncing up and down on Chasing the Wind's back.

"You really have no idea how heavy you are..." Chasing the Wind complained.

"Didn't you say that just one of your claws is bigger than my entire body?" Long Qiqi asked.

"Forget I said that..."

Because there were quite a few people, and Chasing the Wind was genuinely worried about his father's betrothal gifts getting thrown off, he flew very slowly and steadily. They departed at noon and didn't arrive at the Li family residence in Danyang until dusk.

The massive white tiger descending from the sky over the Li family training ground had already caught everyone's attention.

Li Zhan hurriedly called Yang Yanqi to receive the gifts and ordered the butler to prepare to receive them with the highest courtesy... just for Chasing the Wind alone, his role in Wuyi City warranted the Li family's highest reception.

However, before Li Zhan and his group arrived, someone had already "received" them at the training ground... Li Shiwen happened to be practicing there.

"What's this?" Li Shiwen walked over bare-chested after Chasing the Wind landed, seeing the group of people on his back, and joked with Qin Ran, "Bringing the whole family along? What's going on? Acting like it's your own home?"

After jumping down from Chasing the Wind's back, Qin Ran pointed at Yu Chi Zhen and Li An, laughing, "Well, isn't this your own family?"

"Ah!" Li Shiwen's eyes lit up when he saw Yu Chi Zhen and Li An, exclaiming joyfully, "Isn't that my big boy?"

He quickly walked over and embraced his... wife, Yu Chi Zhen.

As for his son, his aunt was holding him. It had been a full six months since he'd embraced his wife.

However, while he wasn't so particular about propriety and wanted to kiss her right there in broad daylight, Yu Chi Zhen, being a well-bred lady, only returned the embrace briefly and firmly stopped his further advances.

Only then did he take his son from Li Shiyin's arms and shower him with affection.

After that, he finally noticed the red gift boxes on Chasing the Wind's back and immediately understood their meaning. He raised an eyebrow, looked at Qin Ran, and exclaimed, "Oh! Brother, you're really doing this?"

Qin Ran shook his head and sighed, "I had no choice. I was forced into this."

"Hmm?" Li Shiyin, holding Qin Ran's arm, gave it a firm squeeze, secretly threatening him, "What kind of talk is that?"

That's the good thing about being cultivators - no need to resort to pinching waists.

"Our destined relationship has matured, and the timing is perfect," Qin Ran said seriously. "As they say, when conditions are right, things naturally progress. It's time for us to take the next step and enter a new phase of life."

Li Shiwen couldn't help but smile watching them like this.

His usually deeply scheming brother-in-law was completely under the control of his pure-hearted sister. Remembering Qin Ran's demeanor in Wuyi City, he sighed and patted Qin Ran's shoulder: "Brother, you've suffered."

He leaned closer to Qin Ran and whispered, "When we get a chance, I'll teach you some techniques for managing your wife, guarantee you'll become the master of the house."

Qin Ran maintained a serious face and shook his head, saying, "Brother's words are mistaken. We are men who respect our wives, not fear them."

Li Shiyin secretly nodded in approval. Li Shiwen secretly shook his head.

Soon after, Li Zhan arrived with his group to receive the gifts. Seeing the presents on Chasing the Wind's back, he also understood Qin Ran's intentions and arranged for people to receive the gifts while he discussed matters with Qin Ran.

Regarding Qin Ran and Li Shiyin, they had no objections. What they discussed now was the timing of the wedding, the specific processes, and other details.

Qin Ran's previous words to Li Shiyin weren't entirely false - they really needed to meet the parents, match their birth charts, choose an auspicious date, prepare the wedding feast, and follow all the procedures.

And since he valued ceremony, as a mighty Golden Core cultivator specifically coming to the mortal realm to hold a wedding, he naturally didn't mind any trouble, agreeing to all the customs, traditions, and procedures. As long as the wedding was done properly, everything else could be discussed.

Finally, they set a series of dates and made all the necessary preparations.

Qin Ran took Li Shiyin to Qingyuan to meet his parents, and they completed all the other required procedures step by step. In the end, wearing a grand red robe, he formally married Li Shiyin at the Li family residence in Danyang, becoming husband and wife through the traditional ceremony.

It was proper, reasonable, and legitimate, witnessed by both sets of parents, heaven and earth, the matchmaker deity, and all their reader friends.
