12: Chapter 12: Master tearfully tied up his beautiful hair!
"What are you all still standing there for?"
Everyone shuddered and turned to see Leng Qingyue's beautiful face covered in frost.
"Do you not know where the Cliff of Reflection is? Do you need me to personally take you there?"
The Disciples were as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to say another word.
They could all tell that Senior Sister Leng was taking out all the anger she had received from that Outer Sect Disciple and Revered Master on them.
"No, we wouldn't dare! We're going right now!"
"Senior Sister Leng, please appease your anger!"
Not daring to court disaster, the group of people mounted their Magical Artifacts and flew off toward the Cliff of Reflection in a dejected manner.
Watching the receding backs of the crowd, Leng Qingyue suppressed the churning emotions in her heart and turned to fly back to the Main Hall.
However, in front of the hall doors, that purple-clad figure was already waiting there.
"Qingyue, go into the hall and wait first."
Yu Linglong's voice betrayed no emotion, yet it made Leng Qingyue feel extremely uneasy.
"As your Revered Master, I need to take Manager Cao to the back mountain's Herb Garden to familiarize him with the environment and find him an Immortal Cave to settle in."
After saying that, she turned around, seemingly unwilling to meet Leng Qingyue's gaze.
Cao Kun followed behind Yu Linglong with a beaming smile.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at Leng Qingyue.
That look was full of provocation.
She watched the two figures disappear in the direction of the back mountain.
Leng Qingyue stood alone before the empty Main Hall, her cold and beautiful face filled with confusion and incomprehension.
Revered Master actually wants this manager to take care of the back mountain Herb Garden, a place even she, a Personal Disciple, has only set foot in a few times!
And she even wants to arrange an Immortal Cave for him?
An Outer Sect Disciple, a lecher—what right does he have?
Could it be... just as she thought, that he is a Male Concubine Revered Master is keeping on the side?
From the beginning, when she swatted Lin Fan away without a word, to personally admitting that lecher's identity, and then... to silently allowing that lecher to pull on her arm and act spoiled.
All of this made Leng Qingyue feel it was extremely surreal.
Revered Master is acting as if...
Someone has caught her by some fatal weakness!
As soon as this thought emerged, Leng Qingyue's heart tightened.
She had been adopted by Yu Linglong since childhood; in her heart, Revered Master was both a strict teacher and her only relative.
Moreover, she was her only hope to rid herself of the cold poison in her body and set foot on the immortal path.
She would never allow anyone to harm Revered Master, nor would she allow anyone to take Revered Master away from her side!
A strong sense of crisis, mixed with a jealousy she hadn't even noticed herself, surged into her heart.
No, I must go and see!
...
On the other side.
Cao Kun stood at the back of the sword, his hands naturally encircling the voluptuous and curvaceous body in front of him.
With soft, fragrant jade in his arms and that intoxicating body fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, Cao Kun felt a wave of comfort in his heart.
"Revered Master, this Flying Sword of yours isn't good enough. The speed is too slow, and the space is small; it's quite cramped for two people to stand."
Cao Kun's chin rested lightly on Yu Linglong's fragrant shoulder, his warm breath puffing against her ear.
"Revered Master, your waist is so thin. Have you not been eating well lately? Your Disciple will make you something delicious in the future."
"..."
Yu Linglong's body stiffened slightly, but she didn't respond.
"Revered Master, why aren't you speaking? Are you moved by your Disciple's filial piety?"
Cao Kun feigned confusion, and the arms around her waist moved up a few inches without a trace.
"..."
The answer he received was still silence.
Heh, learned to be well-behaved?
Cao Kun sneered in his heart.
Is she changing strategies?
Thinking that if she plays dead, I won't have any options?
Naive.
Cao Kun also lost the mood for further verbal teasing and simply shut his mouth.
Yu Linglong noticed the movement behind her had stopped and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
This Rebellious Disciple seems... to really fall for this tactic.
As long as she didn't resist, didn't speak, and acted like a puppet, he would soon find it boring.
Yes, from now on, she would do just that!
Just as Yu Linglong was making up her mind, the Flying Sword reached the depths of the back mountain.
In the center of the valley sat a two-story, exquisite Pavilion, simple and elegant.
"We're here."
They arrived in front of the Pavilion.
Yu Linglong immediately broke free from Cao Kun's embrace and put some distance between them.
"This is the Herb Garden where I usually cultivate Spiritual Plants, and the Pavilion will be your residence. If you need anything, you can send a message to me."
After speaking, she turned around, about to leave on her sword.
Staying in this place for even one more second made her feel disgusted.
However, how could Cao Kun let her leave so easily.
"Alas, Revered Master, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
Yu Linglong turned around abruptly and looked at Cao Kun: "What do you want to do now?"
"Nothing, nothing," Cao Kun waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Disciple just feels a bit tired."
He pointed to himself and started playing the victim: "Revered Master, think about it. Your Disciple flew all the way from the outer sect on a sword; my spiritual energy consumption is huge."
"Just as I arrived at the mountain gate, before I could even catch my breath, I was surrounded by Junior Sister Leng and a dozen Senior Brothers as if I were a traitor. The fight was truly thrilling."
"Now I'm truly exhausted, both physically and mentally. My two legs almost don't feel like my own anymore."
Yu Linglong watched his performance coldly, not saying a word.
This Rebellious Disciple has a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation and was full of vigor when he fought just now, and now he's telling her he's tired?
Only a fool would believe him!
Seeing that she was unmoved, Cao Kun simply pushed open the door of the Pavilion and lay down on the Cloud Bed.
"Revered Master, you know that your Disciple is now your Herb Garden manager. If I wear out my body and delay the cultivation of Spiritual Plants, that would be your loss."
"So..."
Cao Kun grinned, saying words that almost made Yu Linglong fly into a rage on the spot.
"Revered Master, you are a person of great compassion. Coming in to massage your Disciple's legs and relax my muscles wouldn't be too much to ask, right?"
"Cao! Kun!"
Yu Linglong gritted her silver teeth.
Asking her, an Elder at the Late Golden Core Stage, to massage the legs of a Rebellious Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage?
"Hmm?" Cao Kun raised an eyebrow, and his left hand hidden in his sleeve moved imperceptibly.
Yu Linglong's body trembled. That feeling that made her both afraid and hateful brought her back to her senses.
Resist?
The consequences of resistance were more than she could bear.
After a long time, Yu Linglong took stiff steps, walking to the bedside one step at a time.
Beside the Cloud Bed that was tainted with her own scent, she crouched down.
A pair of soft, boneless jade-like hands lightly landed on Cao Kun's calves.
The force wasn't great, and it was even a bit clumsy.
Clearly, this high-and-mighty Hehuan Sect Elder had never served anyone in her life.
"Tsk." Cao Kun lay back comfortably, hands behind his head, legs stretched out leisurely. "Revered Master, your skill isn't up to par. Have you not eaten? Use more force."
"..."
Yu Linglong took a deep breath and increased the force in her hands.
The lingering scent of her own body on the Cloud Bed surrounded her nose, but now it made her feel incredibly disgusted and mocked.
Cao Kun squinted his eyes, enjoying the service of a Golden Core Cultivator, his mouth still not stopping.
"Revered Master, this Cloud Bed is quite nice. It's soft and fragrant, like sleeping in the clouds, and it's full of your scent... it smells so good."
"By the way, Revered Master, you must come to this Pavilion often, right? Otherwise, how could it be so clean?"
Yu Linglong pressed her red lips together, acting as if she hadn't heard.
She only wanted to end this nightmare-like torture as quickly as possible.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Alright." Yu Linglong stopped her hands. "Now, can this seat leave?"
She stood up, impatient to escape.
"Leave?" Cao Kun slowly sat up, looked at her, and shook his head. "You can leave, but... your Disciple feels that Revered Master's sincerity doesn't seem to be enough."
Yu Linglong's body tensed instantly, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart.
"What... else do you want?!"
Cao Kun didn't answer.
He just raised his hand and lightly patted the edge of the bed beside him.
"You... are... dreaming!"
Yu Linglong screamed sharply, the humiliation and anger she had accumulated finally exploding at this moment.
She turned around, wanting to rush out of the Pavilion; even if it meant her Divine Soul being damaged, she would never accept such an insult!
However, before she could even take a step.
Buzz—!
"Ah...!"
An irrepressible groan of pain escaped from her throat.
Yu Linglong's legs went soft, and she could no longer support her body's weight. She fell to the ground with a thud.
That strange power ran wild inside her body, leaving her without any strength.
"Cao Kun..."
Her voice was broken, carrying a hint of pleading.
"What on earth... what do you want... to let me go!"
"Sword, new, new!"
Inside the Pavilion, it suddenly became very quiet.
Cao Kun just sat there on the bed, no longer speaking and without any movement.
Leaving Yu Linglong unable to see any emotion.
But it was precisely this calm that made her feel the most fear.
Time passed, second by second.
Every second, for Yu Linglong, was like a slow torture of a thousand cuts.
Her pride, her dignity, and her reserve as a Golden Core powerhouse were all being crushed bit by bit in this confrontation.
This Rebellious Disciple didn't want her resources or her protection.
What he wanted was everything she had.
It was her complete submission, from her body to her Soul.
No one knew how long had passed.
The last glimmer of light in Yu Linglong's eyes also dimmed.
She came to Cao Kun's side and tied up her beautiful hair.
[Ding! The Jade Beast has completely given up resistance and entered a state of deep submission!]
