165: Chapter 165 Sleeping Beauty!

"Revered Master..."

Chen Yan called out softly, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly.

It was a sharp pain!

So painful he could hardly breathe.

He rushed to the bedside in a few strides, tightly grasping Leng Qingshuang's cold little hand, and murmured:

"Revered Master! Your Disciple is back!"

"I'm back, please wake up..."

But Leng Qingshuang showed no reaction.

On her pale face, her willow-leaf brows were tightly furrowed; her usually warm red lips were now dull and tightly pursed.

Chen Yan turned to the two people still providing treatment by the bed and asked urgently, "Revered Master, Grandma Lingyun, how is my Revered Master's condition?"

Lu Lingyun and Lu Lingdan were taking turns channeling spiritual power into Leng Qingshuang.

Both looked exhausted; clearly, this state had been maintained for a long time.

When they saw Chen Yan return, although both felt relieved, they still explained helplessly:

"Kid Chen Yan, we are also... powerless now..."

"This girl Qingshuang has been unconscious ever since she came out of the Lihuo Immortal Abode."

"Her Dao Heart is shattered, and her cultivation has plummeted. She can only maintain her Physical Body because of the wind-element domain inside her!"

"We wanted to feed her Medicinal Pills, but her jaw is tightly shut. If we use force, the wind-element domain within her will automatically protect its Revered Master!"

"Once the Domain goes out of control, Qingshuang herself will also suffer greatly!"

"Therefore, we are at our wits' end!"

Chen Yan looked down at the pained expression on his Revered Master's face, his heart filled with waves of regret.

He didn't even have the heart to check the 5 favorability points he gained from completing the System task.

This Lihuo Immortal Abode is truly a scam!

That damn old man, the Will of the Immortal Abode, didn't say the difference in time flow between inside and outside was so huge!

It felt like only a moment had passed for him, so how did half a month go by once he came out?

It's also his own fault!

Dallying and procrastinating!

He should have just fought the Immortal Abode directly!

He made his Revered Master suffer so much for nothing!

[Detected the host's distress for his Revered Master and strong desire to treat her; issuing new task: Sleeping Beauty!]

[Sleeping Beauty: A gentle kiss can wake your Revered Master! Task completion reward: demon binding rope!]

Chen Yan looked at the task issued by the System, his brow furrowed, and he subconsciously began to complain in his mind.

What? System, be human for once!

You're giving me this kind of task now?

Taking advantage of someone in danger, looting a burning house, kicking someone while they're down!

Revered Master's Dao Heart is shattered, she's unconscious and in pain.

And you want me to be a beast?

[It can save your Revered Master!]

Chen Yan: "..."

Guys, what should I do!

If he kisses her, he's a beast!

But if he doesn't, he can't save his Revered Master.

Then he'd be worse than a beast!

He looked down at his Revered Master's exquisite face; though her eyes were closed and her face pale, she was still breathtakingly beautiful!

*Gulp!*

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he immediately made a decision!

"Forget it, Revered Master must be saved. If I'm a beast, so be it!"

"In any case, I'm destined to be this Master-defying Rebellious Disciple!"

He turned to Lu Lingdan and Lu Lingyun, who were still channeling spiritual power to keep Leng Qingshuang alive, and said softly:

"Master, Grandma Lingyun, please stop for a moment. I have a way to save Master!"

Lu Lingdan was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Good lad, why didn't you say you had a way to treat her earlier!"

Lu Lingyun was also full of joy: "Wonderful, our persistence wasn't in vain!"

"Quickly, tell us, how do you plan to save girl Qingshuang?"

The two of them stopped and looked at Chen Yan with curiosity.

Although Chen Yan was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, both knew he was always blessed with great fortune. Perhaps he had obtained some Opportunity outside and found a way to treat her!

They saw Chen Yan slowly stand up and, under their surprised gazes, slowly lean down.

Then.

Before their wide eyes, he puckered his lips and gently pressed them against Leng Qingshuang's lips!

Lu Lingdan: "...???"

Lu Lingyun: "!!! Whoa~~~"

She silently pulled out an image recording stone and infused it with magic power.

*Click!*

Photographic evidence!

One breath...

Two breaths...

Three breaths...

Chen Yan was already breaking out in a cold sweat!

But he waited and waited, yet no notification of task completion came from the System, nor was there any sign of his Revered Master waking up!

Feeling the two intense gazes behind him, with his lips pressed against his Revered Master's, he was already in a position where he couldn't back down!

"Damn it! System, you're screwing me over!"

"Didn't you say that if I kissed Revered Master, she would wake up?"

"What's going on now?"

"If this continues, I'll really become a beast!"

[...Host, why didn't you use the kiss to pass the nine-turn nirvana pill into your Revered Master's mouth?]

[Host, you didn't really think your kiss had healing effects, did you?]

[No way? Really?]

[Sleeping Beauty is just a fairy tale! It's for kids!]

[Host, please be more mature!]

[Oh~ Host, you just wanted to kiss your Revered Master, didn't you? Pui! Pervert! Disgusting! Beast! Shameless!]

Chen Yan: "..."

Motherfucker...

I have some choice words I'm not sure I should say!

Although he did want to kiss his Revered Master's little mouth in his heart, it certainly wasn't meant to be like this!

He slowly stood up, facing the curious and probing gazes of Lu Lingdan and Lu Lingyun, who looked at him as if he were a beast.

He coughed awkwardly: "Ahem! That, uh, I forgot it needed to be paired with a Medicinal Pill..."

Lu Lingdan: "(;￢＿￢)"

Lu Lingyun: "( • ̀ω•́ )✧"

Chen Yan was instantly embarrassed and hurriedly pulled a Medicinal Pill from the System space!

nine-turn nirvana pill!

The Immortal Pill he had specifically exchanged for his Revered Master in the Lihuo Immortal Abode!

The pill was entirely golden, and as soon as it appeared, it emitted a rich fragrance.

Nine fine pill veins appeared on its surface, each seemingly containing astonishing vitality.

"This is..."

Lu Lingdan and Lu Lingyun immediately leaned in, their faces full of disbelief!

As Revered Masters of the Dao of Alchemy, they naturally had the ability to identify Medicinal Pills!

With just one look at the pill's appearance and scent, they matched it directly with the records in the Alchemical Cauldron Chapter!

"The nine-turn nirvana pill?"

"Good lad! You really do have great fortune!"

"Why didn't you take this out earlier?"

"So you just did that earlier just to get a kiss?"

Chen Yan: "..."

Crap!

It's over now!

There's no explaining this away!

He quickly turned around: "Not saying, not saying, I'll save Revered Master first!"

He took a deep breath and gently held the nine-turn nirvana pill in his mouth, wrapping it in Spiritual Qi to prevent it from dissolving.

Then, he leaned down and puckered his lips.

Pressing them against his Revered Master's pale lips once more.

A soft sensation came over him again.

Their warm breaths intertwined.

Chen Yan's heart fluttered.

But he didn't dare delay any longer. He used the tip of his tongue to gently pry open Leng Qingshuang's teeth and passed the pill over.

*Swoosh~*

As soon as the pill touched Leng Qingshuang's lips, it turned into a warm stream of Spiritual Qi and flowed down her throat.

*Boom~*

A gentle yet vital energy instantly began to circulate within Leng Qingshuang's body.

In just an instant.

The coldness on Leng Qingshuang's body dissipated, and her cultivation, which had been plummeting due to her shattered Dao Heart, immediately stabilized.

The golden energy from the nine-turn nirvana pill enveloped her, beginning to continuously repair everything inside her!

[Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: demon binding rope!]

The task is done?

So, is Revered Master about to wake up?

Chen Yan felt a surge of joy, but before he could celebrate.

Leng Qingshuang's eyelashes suddenly fluttered.

Then.

She slowly opened her eyes...

*Swish!*

Revered Master and Disciple's eyes met.

And the key point was, their lips were still pressed tightly together.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Leng Qingshuang: "..."

Chen Yan: "..."

He even subconsciously gave a light sweep inside her mouth with his tongue...
