291: Chapter 291 is too rude

Master Shen Xi parted her vermilion lips slightly, her beautiful eyes closed as she spoke in an ethereal, heavenly voice, offering earnest instructions to Ye Xuan.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ye Xuan beamed with joy, carefully tucking the soul avatar holding the golden divine sword back into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Hand over the Master Shen Xi Token and the puppet to me."

Master Shen Xi's voice was melodic and lingering. Although her tone was indifferent, Ye Xuan keenly sensed the underlying concern for him within her words.

"Master must be intending to help me upgrade the puppet's power."

Ye Xuan understood her intent immediately and hurriedly presented the Master Shen Xi Token and the puppet to Master Shen Xi, thinking to himself.

"Refine!"

As expected, just as Ye Xuan had surmised, Master Shen Xi once again unleashed her divine ability, sealing an unparalleled, fierce attack into the Linglong Jade Talisman.

Immediately after, she raised her hand to retrieve the half-step Supreme body of the Sinful Saint, and a snowy-white flame of heavenly spiritual energy rose from her palm.

"Hum—"

Accompanied by a low humming sound, Master Shen Xi exerted her full strength, controlling this mysterious and holy flame to begin smelting the puppet and the Supreme body together.

"Here, I have done my best! With the Supreme body, this puppet can help you block attacks from Great Saints and also help you suppress all enemies in the Saint Realm. It can be considered invincible in the Saint Profound Realm!"

Half an hour later, Master Shen Xi wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead and handed the upgraded puppet and the Master Shen Xi Token back to Ye Xuan.

"Master, you've worked hard!"

Ye Xuan took the puppet and the Master Shen Xi Token, carefully putting them away, then looked at Master Shen Xi with a pang of heartache. He could see a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that the smelting process had consumed much of her energy.

He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to wipe the sweat from Master Shen Xi. When his hand was about to touch her forehead, Master Shen Xi's body trembled slightly, but she didn't dodge; instead, she allowed Ye Xuan's hand to rest on her forehead.

Ye Xuan's palm gently caressed Master Shen Xi's forehead, as if he were cherishing a precious treasure. His movements were very natural, without a hint of pretense, conveying a sense of sincere care.

At this moment, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere; the distance between the two grew smaller, and their breathing became rapid.

"Master, your disciple has a gift I would like to give you!"

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the agitation in his heart, and said softly.

Ye Xuan naturally wouldn't forget what Sister Xian Linglong had said when she left.

"What gift? Take it out!"

Master Shen Xi's beautiful, flawless eyes blinked slightly, and she spoke to Ye Xuan in a murmuring, ethereal voice. There was a hint of curiosity in her tone; she wanted to see what kind of gift her rebellious disciple was going to give her.

In Master Shen Xi's boudoir, Ye Xuan and his Master sat cross-legged on a soft couch. At this moment, Master Shen Xi was looking at Ye Xuan with some curiosity.

"Is what Sister Xian Linglong said reliable? If I give that luo shen flower to Master, will her attitude toward me really become like it was before?"

Ye Xuan's deep eyes secretly gauged his Master's expression while he muttered to himself, unsure if he should listen to the Empress Sister.

"What on earth is it? Why are you so coy? It's just a gift for your Master; bring it out. No matter what it is, I will like it!"

Seeing Ye Xuan hesitating, Master Shen Xi couldn't help but feel even more curious.

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, then took an exquisite jade box from his bosom and carefully handed it to Master Shen Xi.

"Master, please don't chop me later!"

Seeing the infinite curiosity flowing in his Master's beautiful eyes, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

While praying silently, he carefully took out the luo shen flower, which was glowing with a pink divine light, and placed it gently between himself and Master Shen Xi.

"A Divine-grade immortal herb? You certainly put some thought into this!"

When Master Shen Xi saw the Saint-grade medicinal herb, her beautiful eyes immediately brightened, and she spoke softly to Ye Xuan. However, just after she smelled the fragrance emitted by the flower, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Something's wrong... This flower is problematic! Rebellious disciple, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Master Shen Xi seemed to recall something and instantly saw through the true purpose of the Divine-grade immortal herb before her.

She held her breath, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring fixedly at Ye Xuan. Her tone was full of interrogation, and she even raised her hand in a gesture as if to strike Ye Xuan!

"M-Master, Sister Xian Linglong said that as long as I give this flower to you, you will treat me as well as you did before!"

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Ye Xuan immediately changed his strategy and, without hesitation, relayed the words about the luo shen flower to Master Shen Xi.

"Hmph, luo shen flower!"

Hearing this name, Master Shen Xi let out a cold snort, but the anger in her eyes did not fade in the slightest.

Master Shen Xi's ethereal voice carried a touch of coldness, and the killing intent contained within it made her wish she could fight a battle with Xian Linglong on the spot, but unfortunately, the latter had already left this place!

"I will settle this account with her when I have the chance later. As for you, Pretty Boy, you really are my good disciple! Before giving me this flower, did you not know what it was used for? Are you intending to betray your master and destroy your ancestors on purpose?"

Master Shen Xi's beautiful eyes flashed with a bone-chilling coldness as she aggressively questioned Ye Xuan.

"Oh heavens, Sister Xian Linglong has ruined me. Today, I might really be turned into Little Xuan by Master!"

Seeing Master Shen Xi already enraged, Ye Xuan was now in a dilemma.

He clearly felt the chilling Sword Intent emanating from his Master. That sharp, unparalleled Sword Intent seemed to have firmly locked onto his legs; if he dared to move even a step, he was afraid he would have to change his name to 'Little Xuan' in the future.

"I'll risk it all!"

Gazing at the aloof, peerless, ethereal, and stunningly beautiful Master Shen Xi before him, Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and made an extremely bold move.

He saw him pounce forward without hesitation, tightly hugging Master Shen Xi's slender, soft waist, and pulling her into his embrace.

"Rebellious disciple, how dare you—"

Master Shen Xi's delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful eyes wide open, unable to believe what she was seeing. She had never imagined that Ye Xuan would actually do such a daring and reckless thing.

However, Ye Xuan's next action left her even more dumbfounded, and an uncontrollable surge of shame and anger welled up in her heart.

"Master, I like you! You can only be mine!"

Ye Xuan looked straight into Master Shen Xi's eyes without fear, his tone firm and sincere.

He suddenly took a step forward, dispelling the hazy immortal aura around Master Shen Xi, and took off the white veil on her face, seeing the dreamy, immortal face he had missed for so long and thought about day and night.

After several months, Ye Xuan once again witnessed Master Shen Xi's breathtakingly beautiful face.

Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as if carved from jade.

Her features were like a painting, and her eyes revealed a deep and charming radiance, possessing an indescribable beauty that left Ye Xuan dazed for a moment.

Her vermilion lips parted slightly, trembling, as if she wanted to say something, but she was left speechless by Ye Xuan's sudden actions.
