79: Chapter 79 Isn't that the Spirit Spring?

"Master, have you forgotten something?" Ye Xuan stood in place, thought of something, and asked helplessly.

Master Shen Xi ignored Ye Xuan's resentful gaze, looked gently at Qing Luan, then hugged her and rubbed the child's small head: "Silly girl, did your senior brother bully you on the way here?"

"No! It's just that Senior Brother said my eyes are like the moon at night, and he kept calling Qing Luan 'Little Moon'."

Qing Luan hesitated for a moment, looked at Master Shen Xi's beautiful face, and still sold Ye Xuan out halfway.

"Oh?" Master Shen Xi turned back, her beautiful eyes filled with many emotions: "Pretty Boy, what do you want to say to me?"

"Well... Master, everyone gets a pile of magic artifacts as gifts when they take on a master. I don't need much, could you please gift me a few Sacred Artifacts..."

Ye Xuan looked around, left and right, and fixed his gaze on the most brilliant green lotus flower in the middle of the fairy lake: "If that doesn't work, that flower would be fine too!"

"Master, if your other disciple has them, shouldn't I have them too? I'm not asking for Immortal Scriptures or Imperial Weapons, just one of anything will do!"

With a peerless smile, Ye Xuan looked longingly at his master's fairy-like figure. Although the two were less than a few steps apart, that layer of hazy shadow still remained, and Ye Xuan could only fix his gaze where her eyes vaguely were.

"Pretty Boy, you really are thick-skinned. Not only do you want my Twelve-Petaled Sacred Snow Lotus, but you also want Immortal Scriptures and Imperial Weapons. You're dreaming!"

Master Shen Xi's gaze condensed into fragmented shadows, her dark eyebrows arched slightly, and a hint of cold halo appeared on her elegant, fairy-like face: "Go build your own house!"

Immediately, she struck out with her palm, and a cold burst of Mystic Power instantly blasted forth.

"Ouch!"

Ye Xuan felt the world spin, his backside was hit hard, and he fell directly into the fairy lake.

"Hehehe, Master, your disciple will not give up on your Twelve-Petaled Sacred Snow Lotus!"

Ye Xuan floated on the fairy lake, unwilling to give up, and shouted at Master Shen Xi's beautiful receding figure. Receiving no response, he could only pout and swim toward the shore.

Looking around, there was a spirit forest not far away, and Ye Xuan did not hesitate to rush toward it.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

A dozen spirit trees were cut down by Ye Xuan wielding the zhu xian sword. Exhausted, he flopped onto the ground and looked up at the sky; using the zhu xian sword had consumed too much of his stamina.

"They're really hard. I'm exhausted. Cutting you guys down is actually slower than just killing a few unforgivable people."

After resting for a while, Ye Xuan began to fully utilize the knowledge in his mind. Next to the small pavilion, he built a small courtyard house, though it had no side rooms, only one main room and two small side chambers.

"Finally built. Next are the small side rooms on both sides."

Ye Xuan stood with his hands on his hips, sweat dripping from his forehead, looking at his new dwelling with satisfaction.

"Senior Brother, let me wipe your sweat." A white, slender figure walked over; it was Little Moon holding a snow-white handkerchief. She trotted over, then stood on her tiptoes and began to wipe the sweat from Ye Xuan's face.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

"Hehe, you've worked hard, Senior Brother."

Ye Xuan enjoyed this service, but soon felt a bit thirsty. Suddenly, he saw a steaming spring behind the small pavilion where Master Shen Xi lived, with white mist rising above it.

"This water is delicious!"

Ye Xuan hurriedly rushed over and cupped the spring water in his hands to drink. His face, which had been pale due to the exhaustion of Mystic Power, instantly flushed with color. He felt much more relaxed, the fatigue in his eyes dissipated, and his vision became much clearer. "What's the deal with that table and two stools?"

A white jade table, along with one large and one small white jade stool, were situated right in the middle of the spring.

"Hey... Senior Brother, you... you... why are you drinking the water from there!"

At this moment, Qing Luan saw that incredible scene and couldn't help but blush as she softly reminded him.

"Huh? Why can't I drink it? I think the taste is fine. Isn't that just a spirit spring? Drinking it can even help with cultivation."

Ye Xuan looked at Little Moon strangely, then dismissively pulled her over, and the two of them sat down on the two white jade stools together.

Ye Xuan remembered that he happened to have tea cups in his spirit ring, so he took them out, scooped up two cups from the spirit spring, and handed one to Little Moon. Then, right in front of her, he took another sip, "Why can't it be drunk? You should try it too, Little Moon!"

"Stupid... idiot... stupid Senior Brother, that's the pool where Qing Luan and Master often bathe!" Qing Luan's entire pretty face and earlobes turned completely red in an instant, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground because her hands were shaking.

"Pfft... Why didn't you say so earlier, Little Moon!" Ye Xuan instantly spat out the spirit spring water in his mouth, his face also turning red. "Then, Little Moon, don't you and Master... every day..."

At this moment, he instantly recalled Master Shen Xi's true fairy-like appearance, the scene of her shedding her pure white dress and soaking in the pool...

"Stinky Senior Brother, you can't talk nonsense!"

Little Moon looked at Ye Xuan with shy anger, directly reaching out to cover his eyes and mouth, not letting him continue talking nonsense.

"Wuwuwu, stupid Senior Brother, I'm going to tell Master!"

"Wait a second, isn't it your fault, Little Moon? If you had brought Senior Brother some water to drink earlier, how could Senior Brother have ended up drinking your bathwater?" Ye Xuan shamelessly hugged Qing Luan's slender waist. This matter couldn't let Master know; if she got angry and kicked him out of Sword Immortal Peak, what would he do?

"Junior Sister, let's make a deal. Please, absolutely do not tell Master, okay?"

"No way, it's all Stinky Senior Brother's fault, I'm definitely going to tell her!" Qing Luan struggled several times, a bit angry.

"How about this? Next time Senior Brother goes to a mortal city, I'll bring you something delicious, okay?" Ye Xuan had no choice but to coax Little Moon a few times.

"Then, I want to eat candied haws!"

"Ah, just that? Ten skewers!" Ye Xuan thought she wanted something else; it turned out to be just that.

Upon hearing this, a hint of desire appeared in Little Moon's clear eyes, and her red lips moved slightly: "Deal!"

"Pretty Boy, why don't you let go of Qing Luan yet? Are you bullying your junior sister?"

Just at this moment, as Ye Xuan was about to lift his head, he discovered that Master Shen Xi was already sitting on a large chair nearby.

"This... Master, your disciple is not bullying Little Moon."

"Little Moon?" Master Shen Xi looked at Qing Luan suspiciously, discovered that the child's eyes were like a round crescent moon, and then understood. She asked, "Little Moon is indeed a good name."

"Wuwuwu... Master, why are you calling me that too." Qing Luan looked at Master Shen Xi with a dazed, cute expression for a moment, then took two steps and threw herself into Master Shen Xi's arms.
