Chapter 36: Does Love Need a Reason?

Released:

Chu Feng had just obtained another artifact. Including the Azure Needle Talisman that Senior Sister Yuyan had previously given him which also belonged to Lin Ruo, that made two.

Normally, it’s the protagonist who reaps benefits from others, but this time, it was the other way around. He was the one extorting the protagonist. It felt like turning the heavens upside down.

Holding two items that originally belonged to the protagonist made Chu Feng a little uneasy, but it wasn’t a big problem. “If the protagonist can use them, why can’t I?”

Chu Feng watched as the Ninth Elder picked up the unconscious Lin Ruo and walked off without so much as a glance back.

Now that things were resolved, Lu Xiyue naturally had no reason to stay any longer and left the Disciplinary Hall with Chu Feng in tow.

Seeing the Moonlight Sword Fairy finally leave, Huo Lie let out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness no fight broke out….otherwise, the entire Disciplinary Hall might’ve been reduced to rubble.

After that, Huo Lie turned to Elder Mo who was still slumped on the ground and said,

“Elder Mo, you acted without reporting, passing judgment without distinguishing right from wrong. You’re suspended from duty for three years to reflect.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Mo sprang to his feet. His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude.

“Understood!”

Just a three-year suspension, and his elder status wasn’t even revoked….he could hardly believe it.

Back at the peak, Lu Xiyue’s mood had more or less improved. Although her plan to expel Lin Ruo had ultimately failed, at least she had managed to gift Feng’er a magical treasure.

“Thank you, Master, for arriving in time.”

If his master hadn’t shown up when she did, Chu Feng didn’t even know where he might’ve ended up.

“So, how does Feng’er plan to repay Master?”

Lu Xiyue smiled slyly as her delicate fingers began to pinch Chu Feng’s soft cheeks.

She was getting quite fond of it. Right now, Feng’er was still young; his entire body was soft and squishy, and it felt amazing to pinch.

Once he grew up, his cultivation would improve, his physique would become sturdier, and his body would turn firm and hard. It would be nowhere near as nice to pinch as it was now.

“Mmph mmph mmph…”

Chu Feng tried to speak, but all that came out were muffled sounds.

As for resisting…at his current strength, he probably couldn’t even pry one of his master’s fingers off.

Lu Xiyue pinched his cheeks for quite a while. When she finally let go, his cheeks were red, but strangely enough, there was no pain at all.

Of course, Lu Xiyue wouldn’t dare hurt her precious Feng’er. Even while pinching, she had been incredibly careful. Otherwise, even a high-grade artifact would’ve been reduced to scrap metal in her hands.

Lu Xiyue was just about to give Feng’er a proper lesson when a message came from the Sect Master. He wanted her to come immediately.

“Tch!”

Lu Xiyue was clearly annoyed, but she had no choice but to go.

“Feng’er, be good and stay here. Don’t wander off. Master has some matters to take care of and will be back soon.”

She gently patted Chu Feng on the head as she spoke.

“Okay, Master!”

Chu Feng watched as his master turned into a streak of light and flew off. So cool… He wondered when he’d be able to fly like that too.

What had happened today made Chu Feng realize one thing. Within the world of cultivation, strength was everything.

He hadn’t expected that in his previous life, he had to compete relentlessly, and now, even after arriving in the cultivation world, it was still the same. If you didn’t strive, if you didn’t fight to improve, your fate would be at the mercy of others.

“Forget it, forget it. Time to cultivate! I love cultivating! Progress every day!”

With that declaration, Chu Feng was just about to begin his cultivation when suddenly, a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind.

“Heehee, guess who?”

The voice carried a playful tone. But from the familiar smell alone, Chu Feng already knew who it was.

“Senior Sister Yuyan, right?”

“Nope~”

Warm breath tickled his ear.

“Oh…I mean, the most most most beautiful Senior Sister Yuyan!”

Only then did Bai Yuyan release her hands.

As light returned to Chu Feng’s vision, he turned his head and saw that Senior Sister Yuyan was extremely close to him. So close, in fact, that he could clearly count every one of her long eyelashes.

Even though he had seen her stunningly beautiful face many times before, being this close still made Chu Feng’s breath catch for a moment. He found himself momentarily dazed.

“S-Sorry, Senior Sister Yuyan…”

Realizing his slip, Chu Feng immediately put some distance between them.

Whew—

He must have looked completely lovestruck just now.

If he stayed in that ambiguous atmosphere a moment longer, he feared he wouldn’t be able to resist kissing those moist, cherry-like lips right in front of him.

“If Junior Brother enjoys looking, you can keep looking. I’m not the kind of woman who’d make a fuss over it.”

Bai Yuyan said with a soft puff of her cheeks, clearly a little pouty. Honestly, he’s still being so guarded with me?

It shouldn’t be like this. She had been pursuing him so intensely, and with Chu Feng’s innocent and straightforward personality, it should’ve been easy to win him over.

Unless… Master got involved?

If that were the case, then what kind of move did Master make?

“Senior Sister Yuyan… I’ve always wondered. Why do you like me?”

Chu Feng still couldn’t understand it…. even now. Not just Senior Sister Yuyan, but even their master… He was just average in appearance, had mediocre talent, and didn’t possess any kind of seductive physique.

“Does liking someone need a reason?”

Bai Yuyan took a step forward, drawing closer to Chu Feng.

“But I just think… it’s too absurd. It feels like a dream. After all, Senior Sister Yuyan, you’re so beautiful.”

Chu Feng said.

After hearing him, Bai Yuyan took Chu Feng’s hand and placed it on her cheek.

“Look, Junior Brother, right now, you’re touching your Senior Sister’s face~ Doesn’t this sense of reality tell you it’s not a dream?”

Bai Yuyan spoke slowly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep affection. It was bold, intense, and completely undisguised.

Chu Feng not only felt the warmth in his palm but also the delicate softness. It all felt unmistakably real.

Seeing her junior brother’s hesitation, Bai Yuyan said, “Actually, Junior Brother, you don’t need to overthink it. Just like I said that night, you can simply pretend none of this ever happened. We can still be close senior and junior disciples, just like before.”

“But wouldn’t that be too unfair… to you, Senior Sister Yuyan?”

If Chu Feng really did as Senior Sister Yuyan said, wouldn’t that make him a scumbag? No, that wasn’t acceptable. He was a warrior of pure love!

Chu Feng admitted he wasn’t a gentleman, but he wasn’t someone without principles either.

“Junior Brother, do you really want to know?”

“Yeah.”

“If that’s the case, even if I talked for ten thousand years, I still wouldn’t be able to finish. Would you be willing to stay by my side and listen to me tell it slowly?”

As Bai Yuyan said this, a shy blush appeared on her fair cheeks. Her long lashes fluttered, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like two brilliant gems.

For a moment, Chu Feng didn’t know how to respond.

Senior Sister Yuyan really knew how to tease!

At that moment, a certain dialogue suddenly came to Chu Feng’s mind:

Does loving someone require a reason?

No reason?

Or does it?

In the end, Chu Feng chose to stay silent. He didn’t know how to respond to Senior Sister Yuyan’s feelings. Logically speaking, having such a stunning beauty openly pursue him…why overthink it? Just embrace the glorious relationship.

But when it actually happened, Chu Feng found himself completely at a loss.

Bai Yuyan pulled her slightly dazed junior brother into her arms and said softly, “Junior Brother, there’s no need to rush to answer right away. In this life, we have a long time. We can get to know each other, little by little.”

Just then, a mature and alluring woman appeared. Seeing her two disciples embracing, her beautiful eyes narrowed.
