15: Chapter 15 Ouyang Liuli Suddenly Arrives at the Door

Cao Yang watched Su Xuan slowly walk away, feeling very happy in his heart.

Originally, thinking about the Seal on Second Senior Sister, Cao Yang was somewhat worried. He was afraid it might cause trouble for his pursuit mission, but he didn't expect that pursuing Second Senior Sister would actually be much smoother; he hadn't even done much yet, and the pursuit was almost complete.

That's right, after Cao Yang's bold confession just now, Su Xuan's favorability had reached 89. This increase was both fast and significant.

Just as Cao Yang was about to return to his Immortal Cave, he noticed his Master, Ouyang Liuli, flying toward his Immortal Cave from not far away.

Cao Yang was also very confused. It had been several days since his Master brought him back to the Sect, and she hadn't come to see him once. Why the sudden visit?

Just as Cao Yang stopped, Ouyang Liuli arrived.

Cao Yang quickly bowed. "Disciple Cao Yang greets Master."

"Mm, no need for such formalities. I came here today primarily to check on your Cultivation progress," Ouyang Liuli said with a smile and a nod.

Just as Cao Yang was about to speak about his Cultivation, the System's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Ding! Detected a compatible pursuit target: Ouyang Liuli. Complete the mission for a reward of 7 sign-in opportunities. Mission time limit: three days."

Cao Yang was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze.

What's with this System? I'm not a villain, how could I do something like this? Besides, when I first met Master, you didn't give me any pursuit notification!

"Ding! Host, the System only reminds the host of targets that have the potential to be successfully pursued."

"Ah?"

What does the System mean? Is it saying that when I first met Master, my cultivation was too low to succeed, but now my cultivation is sufficient? Or is it saying that Master might actually be open to a Master-Disciple relationship?

Or maybe it's both. Hiss!

System: ...

Seeing Cao Yang's strange expression, Ouyang Liuli was very confused.

She spoke up, "Disciple, are you alright?"

Cao Yang quickly snapped back to reality and replied, "Master, I'm fine. Let's head into the Immortal Cave first, and I'll tell you in detail about my Cultivation over the past few days."

Ouyang Liuli didn't suspect anything and replied, "Alright."

The two entered the Immortal Cave and sat down at the stone table.

Cao Yang poured a cup of tea for Ouyang Liuli and said, "Master, have some tea first. This is Spirit Tea that I bought with my two Senior Sisters at the Xianlin Pavilion."

Ouyang Liuli nodded and took a sip. "Not bad, this is high-quality Spirit Tea."

"Wait, that's not right. High Grade Spirit Tea is only available in Xianlin City. How did you buy it? You've only been out for a few days; in that amount of time, you wouldn't even have reached Xianlin City."

Ouyang Liuli noticed something was amiss and questioned him.

Cao Yang replied calmly, "That's right, Master. Originally, the one with the highest cultivation among us was Second Senior Sister, and she was only at the Golden Core Peak. A few days wouldn't be enough to travel to Xianlin City and back."

"However, because of me, Fifth Senior Sister is now at the Void Refining Realm, just like you, Master."

"What? Xue'er is in the Void Refining Realm? How is that possible?"

Ouyang Liuli was so shocked she almost stood up. Initially, she didn't believe it, but she cried out instinctively.

Cao Yang continued, "Not only that, I am also at the Undergoing Tribulation cultivation level."

After Cao Yang finished speaking, he released the aura of his Undergoing Tribulation cultivation.

When Ouyang Liuli heard Cao Yang say he was at the Undergoing Tribulation stage, her first instinct was to teleport out of the Immortal Cave.

But just as she tried to move, she found she couldn't. The surrounding space was locked, and a terrifying aura weighed down on her, making her nearly unable to stand.

Ouyang Liuli was utterly shocked and said in extreme terror, "You aren't my Disciple. Who exactly are you?"

"What are you trying to do by sneaking into the Sect?"

Cao Yang wasn't surprised by his Master's reaction.

In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Anyone would instinctively remain vigilant toward the powerful.

Cao Yang waved his hand to set up a Barrier before withdrawing his Undergoing Tribulation aura.

He smiled and said, "Master, don't be nervous. I am indeed your Disciple, Cao Yang. It's just that I've awakened memories of my past life, and my cultivation is simply due to some preparations I left behind in that life."

"Sit down first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Ouyang Liuli was helpless; she couldn't escape. The person before her was an Undergoing Tribulation powerhouse. Regardless of whether what he said was true, she could only comply for the time being.

Seeing Ouyang Liuli sit down, Cao Yang slowly told her about his fabricated past life as a peerless expert, his Awakening memories, and important matters regarding his and Fifth Senior Sister's cultivation.

Ouyang Liuli was left dazed, completely losing her usual demeanor as a Void Refining powerhouse.

"So, Master, since I can raise Fifth Senior Sister's cultivation, I can naturally raise yours as well."

Cao Yang began to reveal his true objective!

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Liuli shook her head repeatedly. "No, no, that won't do. You are my Disciple, and besides, Xue'er has already entered into a relationship with you. We can't do this; I am your Master!"

Cao Yang coaxed her persuasively, "Master, think about it. It's only been a few days for Xue'er and me, and our Realms have increased so much. At this rate, it won't be long before we undergo Ascension and become immortals. Don't you want to achieve Immortal Ascension and gain eternal life?"

"Immortal Ascension..."

Ouyang Liuli's heart also yearned for it. That was an immortal! Although her Aptitude wasn't bad, she had cultivated for hundreds of years just to reach Void Refining.

She couldn't even say for sure that she would become a Mahayana Almighty, let alone an immortal!

Seeing Ouyang Liuli was wavering, Cao Yang quickly added, "Besides, Master, Second Senior Sister has already agreed to be my Dao Companion. With my conditions, I can lead the other Senior Sisters to quickly Breakthrough their Realms and achieve Immortal Ascension. Sooner or later, they will all be mine. At that time, if only Master is left alone in the Tianxuan Realm, won't you be lonely? The Senior Sisters will miss you too."

"As long as Master agrees, you and my Senior Sisters can be together forever. Moreover, I will lead you to keep growing stronger, reaching the Peak and witnessing the scenery from the top."

Ouyang Liuli hesitated, torn between her choices.

She felt that what Cao Yang said was right and made a lot of sense. But when she thought about her status as their Master, she wondered how she could face them, falling into another bout of internal conflict.

Seeing that hope was growing, Cao Yang added: "Master, you don't need to feel embarrassed about your status. Xue'er knows and has agreed to let me find Dao Companions with Heaven-Defying Aptitude. Only in this way can our cultivation continue to grow rapidly and become stronger and stronger."

"Compared to others, I believe Xue'er would rather her own Master become stronger. Rather than letting some outsider benefit, it's better for her own Master to receive the advantage."

Hearing this, Ouyang Liuli scoffed, "Improper! You're the one who would benefit!"

Cao Yang quickly followed up, "Right, right, right, we benefit together."

Under Cao Yang's continuous persuasion, Ouyang Liuli finally agreed.

After all, it was Immortal Ascension!

Isn't the point of Cultivation to become an immortal and live forever?

There was no way to refuse this. She simply couldn't refuse!

Seeing Ouyang Liuli agree, Cao Yang quickly moved closer and pulled her into his arms.

Ouyang Liuli gave Cao Yang a sidelong glance but didn't pull away. She just looked up at him and said with an expectant face, "Can you promise that no matter how powerful you become in the future, you will always love me?"

Cao Yang looked into Ouyang Liuli's eyes and said, "I will. No matter what happens in the future, I promise to always love you."

After saying that, he raised his hand to swear an oath, but he was stopped by Ouyang Liuli.

Cultivators cannot swear oaths lightly; otherwise, it is easy for Heart Demons to appear.

However, Ouyang Liuli didn't know that these things weren't an issue for Cao Yang.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Cao Yang lowered his head.

Before they knew it, the two had reached the stone bed.
