“Uh… ahaha, I won’t interrupt you two. Please, carry on!”
Seeing that he had just ruined someone’s special moment, Liu Zhitong slipped away immediately.
Still, who would’ve thought that Brother Zhang had such amazing luck with women?! Ugh! So painful!
Burning with jealousy from the Great Single People Alliance!
After Liu Zhitong left, Chu Feng stumbled out in a fluster.
Bai Yuyan tidied her tousled hair. Her face was now flushed with a deep blush. At this moment, a hint of coldness flickered in her eyes toward that disciple who had barged in. She had gone to such lengths to carefully set this whole thing up!
Still, at least she managed to enjoy a little sweetness.
Bai Yuyan licked her cherry lips, then followed out as well, also pretending to be flustered.
“Sorry, Junior Brother. What I just did… I had no other choice.”
It would’ve been fine if she hadn’t brought it up, but now that she did, Chu Feng found himself recalling that soft sensation and stammered, “I-It’s fine. Besides… if anything, Senior Sister Yuyan’s the one who got the short end of the stick.”
After all, he was a man, and Senior Sister Yuyan was a woman. Thankfully, this was a cultivation world. If this were ancient times, wouldn’t he be expected to take responsibility for what had just happened?
Wait a second! Why was he even having such thoughts?! He wasn’t some playboy; he was a warrior of pure love!
“I’m not at a loss here, Junior Brother. Besides… I like you.”
As soon as she said this, the blush on Bai Yuyan’s cheeks deepened further. It was as if saying those words had used up all her courage, and she lowered her head slightly.
Hearing what Senior Sister Yuyan said, Chu Feng didn’t dare respond carelessly. He opened his mouth but, in the end, chose to stay silent. It was better to sort out his relationship with Master first. Otherwise, if Senior Sister Yuyan got involved too… the Grim Reaper might come calling for him.
After leaving the Technique Pavilion, Chu Feng had chosen two spells. One was “Touch Stone, Turn to Gold,” and the other was “Three-Breath Sword Draw to End the Fight.”
Just hearing the name made Chu Feng curious. What kind of technique could end a battle in just three breaths?
After parting ways with Senior Sister Yuyan, Chu Feng headed to the Mission Hall to claim his reward. That was his original goal, after all. What happened at the Technique Pavilion had been a complete accident.
Also, just moments ago, his communication jade slip had received a message from his master.
The Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect was massive. Even flying on a sword would take a long time. To accommodate disciples with lower cultivation levels, the sect had set up many teleportation arrays throughout.
As long as you had a token to activate the array and selected your destination, you’d arrive in no time.
This time, Chu Feng was meeting his master at a different location. Recalling her previous instructions, he pushed open the door.
Light curtains hung all around, and in the center of the room were two meditation cushions, with a layer of carpet laid underneath. Lu Xiyue was kneeling gracefully on one of the cushions.
This time, Lu Xiyue wore a black dress, which sharply contrasted with her fair, almost glowing skin. Her exposed shoulders were porcelain-white, and her delicate collarbones were fully visible.
The deep V-cut design of the dress created an exaggerated curve as it was supported by her ample chest.
The skirt spread loosely around her, revealing a pair of full, shapely legs. So tempting they looked like they could break bones with a lick.
Her outfit showcased the essence of mature charm to perfection. Yet, Lu Xiyue wore a cold, aloof expression on her face. Oh, that contrast seriously~.
Chu Feng was stunned the moment he stepped in. His master’s allure was overwhelming, especially considering what had just happened with Senior Sister Yuyan in the hidden compartment…
The thought alone stirred the desire he had barely managed to suppress. He quickly pinched himself to regain control.
Lu Xiyue was very pleased with Chu Feng’s reaction. All that effort spent getting dressed hadn’t been in vain. Her shy little Feng’er really was cute~
Chu Feng knelt properly on the other cushion. “Disciple pays respect to Master.”
“Feng’er, has your cultivation gone smoothly these past few days? Any difficulties?”
Lu Xiyue asked gently. Although she was indeed tempted by Feng’er, as his master, she still had a duty to fulfill. In her past life, she had almost forgotten about this disciple altogether. But this time, she was determined to teach him well.
“Reporting to Master, everything is going smoothly.”
When Chu Feng was cultivating, he felt that even staying up all night didn’t leave him tired the next day. In fact, he felt refreshed and full of energy. If nothing else, this cultivation method was certainly great for overall well-being.
“Then, what about the bottleneck in your cultivation?”
With Lu Xiyue’s level of cultivation, she could naturally tell at a glance that Feng’er had reached a bottleneck. That was why, after seeing him last time, she had made some special preparations.
“Well, I do have some questions about that… Master, how did you overcome bottlenecks in your own cultivation?”
Chu Feng still had only a limited understanding of cultivation. It was only recently that Senior Sister Yuyan had taught him how to cultivate and circulate true qi.
“Cultivation is not something that can be rushed. Ultimately, it depends on you, Feng’er. If you rely on pills to force a breakthrough, over time, your foundation will become unstable, and your strength will suffer greatly.”
Lu Xiyue spoke with a hint of warning in her tone. She wanted to make sure Feng’er wouldn’t become greedy for quick progress and take pills to break through. The consequences simply weren’t worth it.
“Understood, Master! I won’t do that!”
Chu Feng nodded obediently. He understood the logic. Ever since arriving in this world, no so-called “system” had appeared to help him. He had to figure everything out on his own.
Haah, if only there were a system. He could complete quests, level up in no time, and there’d be no side effects either.
“But I do have a method that can guide you through breaking through the bottleneck and help you gain experience for future breakthroughs without the side effects of pills.”
“Really, Master? What is it?”
“Does Feng’er want to know?”
“Of course! With such a good method, I have to at least give it a try.”
Seeing the look of anticipation on Chu Feng’s face, Lu Xiyue appeared hesitant, as if torn by inner conflict. After a moment, she let out a soft sigh, as though making a difficult decision, and slowly uttered two words.
When Chu Feng heard them, it was like a bolt from the blue. He froze on the spot.
“Th-This… This can’t be right, Master. Is that really the only way?”
Lu Xiyue’s expression was full of seriousness as she replied, “Feng’er, this is the only way. Would I, your master, ever lie to you?”
“In that case… I think I can break through the bottleneck on my own.”
After all, something had already happened between him and his master once. And if it happened again, there’d be no way to make sense of their relationship anymore.
“Feng’er, do you know that during a breakthrough, if anything goes wrong, the lightest consequence is qi deviation? Worse than that, you could suffer a major drop in cultivation or even damage your foundation. I don’t want that to happen to you.”
Lu Xiyue gently raised her fair hand and caressed Chu Feng’s head. Her expression was full of care. As if saying, Master would never harm you. This is all for your own good.
“And besides, I’m more than willing to do this.”
Hearing his master’s words, Chu Feng was left speechless. This… what was he supposed to do now? Was he really supposed to just lie down, stop thinking, and leave everything to his master?!
Seeing Feng’er still wavering, Lu Xiyue slowly pulled his head into her embrace and whispered,
“Don’t worry, Feng’er. I won’t ask you for any kind of commitment. As long as you’re safe and sound, that’s enough for me.”
With that, Lu Xiyue gently cupped Chu Feng’s face, and her red lips slowly pressed down onto his.
In the next moment, all the light curtains in the room quietly fell.
