Bai Shijue had a feeling that something wasn't right, so he put Chinchin on the ground and jumped into the lake.

He swam towards Han Shun, but in the midway there, he suddenly felt something grab his ankle and drag him quickly to the lakebed. 

Bai Shijue was surprised, but he wasn't fast enough to swim back to the surface. He was forcefully dragged down until he stood right in front of Han Shun. 

Han Shun opened his eyes, and the golden circle around the pupil started dilating again, turning his purple into pure gold. He embraced Bai Gege and hugged him tightly.

Han Shun buried his face in Bai Gege's neck. Han Shun created a bubble so they could hug each other freely.

"Bai Gege…" 

Bai Shijue was surprised, but after making sure that Han Shun was fully conscious right now, he finally hugged Han Shun back. 

Han Shun was a head taller than Bai Shijue now. He was already 18 years old and had a well-developed body, including down there, which disturbed Bai Shijue because Han Shun actually had an erection.

[O—Okay, I don't want to ruin the moment, but… damn, that's so big…]

[Pupa: What big?]

[He is the size of Javier. I think the bulbous tip and the color must've been similar as well. His sexual vitality must be as strong as Javier's… I hope, hehe.]

[Pupa: Aren't you the one who said that you don't see Han Shun romantically? And now you want to get fucked by him?]

[What? Who said that I want to get fucked by him? I'm just saying, you know. Besides, did you forget about my cock measuring system? The moment I touch a cock, I will automatically measure it.]

[Pupa: That damn useless ability has been occupying your mind for too long.]

[Aish, you're a party pooper, Pupa. It's an amazing skill to have! You have to make sure that the man you're courting with have worthy bed skill and size!]

"I thought you already forgot about me, Bai Gege…." Han Shun whispered softly.

"Who said that? I will never forget about you," Bai Shijue sighed. "And you should know that I think about you every day. I want to visit you and give you my homemade cooking, but I can't because it will disturb your fully focused cultivation."

Han Shun smiled bitterly, but he didn't show it to Bai Gege, "Is that true, Bai Gege? Or is it just your way to make me feel better? I thought you've replaced me…."

"I don't have any reason to lie. And no, you're not being replaced at all, you're still my one and only disciple," Bai Shijue said. This was actually correct because he didn't give any cultivation training for Han Min, only martial arts so he could defend himself. Han Min should be able to fight against 10 strong fighters and would still win. 

'Lies, that's a lie….' Han Shun thought. 'I've been replaced, right?'

At first, Han Shun didn't want to believe it because he always knew how much Bai Gege cared for him. 

But his own fear and anxiety ate him up. He got depressed every time he thought of Bai Gege and that new kid sharing a bed and having sex. He knew that Bai Gege was such a pure immortal, but his fear had already gotten him.

"Bai Gege, please touch my heart, and you can see the golden core you requested," Han Shun said. "I've obtained my golden core. Can we leave to the immortal realm now? I want to spend more time up there than in this world…."

"We need time. I will explain it to you after we go home. Oh, we have to eat first. I've prepared a lot of food for you. I cooked it all by myself," Bai Shijue said. "Let's go up."

Han Shun nodded, and the bubble floated up until they emerged from the lake. Han Shun and Bai SHijue walked side by side as Baishe was waiting for them at the lakeside. 

"You two scared me so much!" Baishe said. "I thought Han Shun went rampant or something."

Bai Shijue chuckled lightly, "He just wants some alone time with his teacher. I think he is okay now, right, Han Shun?"

Han Shun nodded, but he quickly grabbed Bai Gege's hand. He intertwined his fingers with Bai Gege's fingers, showing his possessiveness in front of Baishe. 

"Well, I can see that he still misses you a lot, Master Bai," Baishe commented.

"That cannot be helped. Let's just eat the food. I've cooked a lot for the three of us."

Bai Shijue said, shifting the attention because he could still feel Han Shun's hot gaze lingering at his back. 

Baishe, Bai Shijue, Han Shun, and Chinchin ate together. It was incredibly relieving for Han Shun because it had been four years since he had eaten anything. He missed Bai Gege's cooking, anything that Bai Gege touched, honestly. 

"Gege, I want to eat that one…." Han Shun pointed at the rice cake. 

"You can eat it on your own," Bai Shijue said, but Han Shun acted spoiled in front of him. He was so shameless that he didn't care if Baishe was looking at him right now. 

"But Han Shun wants Bai Gege to feed it to me…." Bai Shijue sighed and grabbed a rice cake. He started feeding Han Shun, who looked at him with a hot gaze. 

"Anything Bai Gege feeds me always tastes the best," Han Shun said. 

Baishe stared at the two lovebirds— Well, it seemed that it was only one lovebird right now, and the other was still trying to dodge the obvious attraction they had. 

Baishe couldn't take her eyes off those golden eyes of Han Shun. Just because you had successfully broken through the bottleneck and achieved, your golden core didn't mean that your eye colors would magically change into golden. It was something out of her expectation.

"What happened with your eyes?" Baishe asked. "Did something happen while you're cultivating? Because that's not supposed to happen."
