276: Never again after Chapter 276

Master Shen Xi and Ye Xuan vanished like shooting stars, leaving only the soft echo of Master Shen Xi's voice lingering slowly across the empty ground.

"Gone?"

Lin Binger leaned half-reclined on the ground, her exquisite curves and graceful bearing on full display, her beautiful eyes staring straight into the surrounding silence.

"Could it be that the world is about to face a great upheaval? Is that why they didn't kill me?"

Lin Binger murmured to herself, as if the blood feud had finally been settled and the obsession in her heart had dissipated along with it, the heavy mountain she had carried for years finally removed, leaving her feeling an unprecedented sense of ease and freedom.

She looked up at the sky, where the blazing sun shone brilliantly, dazzling and bright, driving away the endless darkness and casting boundless radiance.

"Still, he really is an interesting little rascal!"

Bathed in the splendid sunlight, Lin Binger's captivating eyes couldn't help but recall Ye Xuan, who had wanted to take her life but ultimately could not bring himself to do so.

"They are quite an interesting pair of master and disciple, too!"

Lin Binger seemed to suddenly understand something and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Although they called each other master and disciple, their way of interacting was more like a pair of flirting lovers.

"From now on, there will be no more Lin Ruoer in this world, only Lin Binger. I owe you a life, and one day I will surely repay you twofold!"

Lin Binger whispered, her voice as soft as a passing breeze.

Immediately after, a holy and majestic aura radiated from her entire body, and her figure vanished instantly from the spot, as if she had merged into the world itself.

...

Cangqiong Holy Land, Sword Immortal Peak, where the mountains were green and the waters clear, surrounded by swirling clouds—a breathtaking, fairyland-like paradise.

"Ah! It hurts, Master, please go easy, you're going to pull my ear off! I beg you to spare me this once, from now on, I promise I will never dare to make you angry again!"

Suddenly, a miserable cry echoed through the mountains, breaking the peace and beauty.

A void passage slowly opened, and two figures in white robes emerged—Master Shen Xi and Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Master Shen Xi's slender, delicate hand was tightly gripping Ye Xuan's ear, showing no signs of letting go.

Ye Xuan, meanwhile, wore a bitter expression, his hands constantly begging for mercy, looking thoroughly disheveled.

While enduring the sharp pain in his ear, Ye Xuan carefully reached out and gently took hold of Master Shen Xi's delicate hand that was pulling his ear.

Instantly, a silky, smooth, and delicate sensation flooded his heart, making his mind wander.

"You rebellious disciple! I thought taking you as a disciple would save me some trouble, but I didn't expect you to be such a troublemaker, constantly causing problems for your master everywhere you go!"

Feeling her hand being tightly held by Ye Xuan, Master Shen Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she immediately released Ye Xuan's ear, pulling her snow-white hand back from his palm.

"Master, I missed you so much!"

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the towering Sword Immortal Peak and feeling the fresh air blowing through the mountains, Ye Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

His deep and sharp eyes were fixed on the beautiful, celestial-like woman before him—Master Shen Xi.

Unable to suppress the surging emotional impulse in his heart, Ye Xuan took a large step forward.

Just as Master Shen Xi was stunned and at a loss for what to do, he quickly reached out his arms and wrapped them tightly around her slender waist.

His fingers gripped her soft, willow-thin waist tightly, while he greedily inhaled the charming fragrance emanating from Master Shen Xi.

This elegant fragrance, like a mixture of orchids and musk, was intoxicating and impossible to resist.

At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn't help but bury his face deep into Master Shen Xi's cloud-like, dark, and beautiful hair.

Suddenly subjected to such intimate and audacious behavior from her disciple, Master Shen Xi's body trembled involuntarily.

She had never expected this rebellious disciple to perform such a brazen act, and for a moment, she was completely stunned.

Master Shen Xi's figure was slightly smaller than Ye Xuan's; when they stood face to face, the top of her head was exactly level with Ye Xuan's forehead.

However, for her height, she was already quite outstanding among many female cultivators, especially those long, straight, beautiful legs that were particularly eye-catching and charismatic.

"Rebellious disciple, let go, release your master!"

After a brief shock, Master Shen Xi finally regained her senses. Her pretty face, hidden beneath a white veil, turned bright red instantly, her shyness and unbearable embarrassment evident.

She hurriedly pushed Ye Xuan away with force, her figure drifting backward like a phantom for several yards to maintain a distance from him.

Then, she glared at Ye Xuan with eyes full of shyness and anger, as if trying to look through his eyes to see the thoughts deep within his heart.

"Master, I really missed you..."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful face before him and those eyes that seemed to be able to bewitch one's soul, Ye Xuan's mind wandered.

He took a light step and slowly moved forward, a fawning smile on his face, his eyes full of attachment, as if he couldn't wait to pull her into his arms again.

"Let go!"

However, before Ye Xuan could get close, Master Shen Xi scolded him coquettishly, her tone mixed with a hint of annoyance. Despite this, her pretty cheeks remained as flushed and alluring as the evening glow.

Faced with this sudden change, Master Shen Xi was secretly annoyed. How could this disciple, who was usually obedient and submissive, be so brazen today?

She even had an impulse to strike out with her palm and kill this disrespectful, rebellious disciple on the spot.

In the end, however, Master Shen Xi gently extended her delicate hand and waved it casually. A gust of wind whistled past, knocking Ye Xuan directly into the immortal spring nearby.

"Splash!" Water splashed everywhere. Ye Xuan, soaked to the bone, emerged from the water in a disheveled state. With a face full of grievance and dissatisfaction, he muttered, "Master, it was just a hug..."

"Hmph, Pretty Boy, you'll get what's coming to you later!"

Standing more than ten yards away, Master Shen Xi glared coldly at Ye Xuan, a flash of slyness in her beautiful eyes. Then, her figure vanished without a trace like a phantom.

"Master, don't go!"

Ye Xuan hurriedly climbed out of the immortal spring and used his magical power to steam the water off his body.

Immediately after, he walked quickly to the spot where Master Shen Xi had just been standing, trying to find the scent she had left behind.

Unfortunately, apart from the faint, lingering fragrance in the air, that peerless figure was long gone.

"Why is Qingluan not here? Did she go to the Cangjian Peak cliff?"

Ye Xuan wandered around Sword Immortal Peak while thinking to himself. He looked around, trying to find that familiar figure, but could not see her anywhere.

Suddenly, he realized that it had been a while since he had seen his cute Little Moon.

He had already returned, and in the past, Little Moon would have appeared immediately and stuck by his side, so why not today?
