Chapter 164 My Master is Simply a Goddess!

High on the main seat of the platform, Leng Yueli was dressed in a purple-gold robe and wore a jade crown. Her exquisite face was like eternal mystical ice, lofty and untouchable, cold and breathtakingly beautiful.

Who could have imagined that this Ninth Heaven of Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse, with her world-shaking pressure, had been so compliant and sobbing under Su Ye last night?

"Purple Bamboo Peak has arrived—!"

Following a loud cry from the Deacon Elder, a spirit boat broke through the clouds.

Su Ye, dressed in white with an ethereal temperament, led his three stunning Junior Sisters—Jiang Wanyin, Lin Qingzhu, and Qin Yurou—as they descended upon the chief seats of Purple Bamboo Peak like celestial beings.

Just as he took his seat, an extremely cold yet faintly coquettish voice transmission reached Su Ye's Sea of Consciousness.

"Rebellious Disciple! Were you a dog last night? Your Revered Master's waist is still sore and weak! If the other Peak Revered Masters notice anything today, I will definitely skin you alive!"

Sitting on the high platform, Leng Yueli's jade-like hand tightened slightly around her teacup. While she appeared as steady as Mount Tai on the surface, her eyes shot a fierce glare at Su Ye.

This bastard, relying on the isolation Formation last night, had forced her to call him "Good Brother" over a dozen times. It was an utter disgrace!

The corner of Su Ye's mouth curled up as he unceremoniously sent a voice transmission back.

"Revered Master clearly said 'more' last night, yet now you're blaming your Disciple? Besides, I did it to help Revered Master stabilize your Realm. Instead of rewarding me, how can you return kindness with enmity?"

"You... lewd! Shameless!"

Leng Yueli was so flustered by his blunt words that the tips of her ears turned hot, and she nearly spilled her tea.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the fluttering in her heart, and continued her warning: "Stop grinning like that at me! Your three Junior Sisters are very shrewd. If they find out that I have already... been devoured by you, I will strike you down with my sword and then kill myself!"

"Don't worry, Revered Master. They were questioning me with your silk threads this morning, but I easily fooled them. In their eyes, you are still that cold and strict good Revered Master."

Su Ye sent the transmission while taking a light sip of the spiritual tea on the table.

"What?! They found out?!"

Leng Yueli was so startled that her body trembled, and a sliver of her freezing Tribulation Transcendence Stage pressure involuntarily leaked out.

*Crack, crack, crack—*

A layer of frost instantly formed on the jade floor of the platform, causing several nearby Peak Revered Masters to look over in surprise, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Junior Sister Leng, are you dissatisfied with today's match list?" The Holy Revered Master, Mysterious Mechanism Master, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously.

"...It's nothing, I just felt the weather was a bit hot." Leng Yueli replied with a cold face, making up a random excuse, though her pink fists were clenched tightly under her wide sleeves.

She gritted her teeth and sent a transmission to Su Ye: "Yeer! Just you wait! If you dare come to the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion tonight, I will definitely drain you dry!"

Su Ye raised an eyebrow: "I'd like nothing more."

...

"First match of the finals: Lin Qingzhu of Purple Bamboo Peak vs. Sun Hao of Taiqing Peak!"

As the Referee Elder gave the order, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Lin Qingzhu, dressed in green and carrying a freezing longsword, drifted onto the arena like a Moon Goddess.

Opposite her, Sun Hao of Taiqing Peak had a somber expression, his eyes flashing with undisguised malice. Since Taiqing Peak's Eldest Senior Brother had been crippled by Su Ye yesterday, the entire Taiqing Peak blamed Purple Bamboo Peak for the debt.

"Junior Sister Lin, forgive me!"

Sun Hao didn't bother with any opening etiquette. Before his voice had even faded, he suddenly crushed a blood-colored jade talisman on his chest!

"Boom—!"

An extremely violent and bloody spiritual power erupted from within Sun Hao. His eyes turned crimson instantly, and his cultivation was forcibly boosted from the Golden Core Middle Stage to the half-step Nascent Soul!

"It's the Blood-Burning Qi Exploding Talisman! Taiqing Peak actually used such a forbidden item!"

"How shameless! This is a martial competition for sparring!"

Exclamations and angry curses immediately erupted from below the stage.

"Die!" Sun Hao roared. The long saber in his hand transformed into a blood-colored blade light dozens of feet long, carrying the momentum to split mountains as it hacked down towards Lin Qingzhu's head!

This strike wasn't for sparring at all; it was aimed at destroying Lin Qingzhu's Foundation!

Lin Qingzhu's expression changed slightly. Her longsword unsheathed, and a freezing Sword Intent soared into the sky as she tried to block it.

But that blood-colored blade light was too overbearing, instantly shattering her protective sword aura!

"Qing Zhu!" Jiang Wanyin and Qin Yurou cried out in unison.

At this critical moment!

"Seeking death!"

Accompanied by a thunderous cold shout, a white-clad figure appeared in front of Lin Qingzhu as if teleporting.

Su Ye's eyes were icy. He didn't even draw his sword. His right hand became a palm blade, and Primal Beginning Purple Qi wrapped around his fingertips like a physical substance as he casually swiped at the blood-colored blade light!

"Bang—Crack!"

The blood-colored blade light, which could even kill a half-step Nascent Soul, shattered into pieces instantly under Su Ye's swipe, as if it were made of paper!

A powerful counter-force surged back, slamming heavily into Sun Hao's chest.

"Pfft—"

Sun Hao spat out a large mouthful of blood and was sent flying over a hundred feet like a broken kite, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena, his life or death unknown.

The whole place fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at Su Ye standing in the center of the arena with his hands behind his back in disbelief.

"One hit! With just a casual strike, he had insta-killed Sun Hao, who had taken a forbidden drug! Just how terrifying was the strength of this Eldest Senior Brother of Purple Bamboo Peak?!"

"Eldest Senior Brother..." Lin Qingzhu looked at the broad back shielding her, her beautiful eyes shimmering. She felt her heart beating faster than ever before.

"Presumptuous!"

On the high platform, Taiqing Peak Elder Wang Daoyuan could finally no longer sit still. He stood up abruptly, and his Nascent Soul Stage Peak pressure erupted.

"Su Ye! How dare you publicly interfere in an arena duel and even strike to heavily injure a fellow Disciple! You have absolutely no regard for the sect rules! Today, this Elder must cripple you!"

Wang Daoyuan roared, disregarding his status as he transformed into a streak of light. His hand turned into a giant spiritual power ghost claw, lunging straight for Su Ye on the arena!

Su Ye sneered, just about to draw his sword to meet the attack.

"Boom—!"

A freezing pressure thousands of times more terrifying than Wang Daoyuan's suddenly descended from the platform!

Above the Taichu Great Hall, heavy snow began to fall in an instant! The moisture in the air froze immediately, turning into countless ice spikes suspended over everyone's heads!

The spiritual power ghost claw reaching for Su Ye was frozen into an ice sculpture mid-air, then shattered into ice shards with a "snap"!

"Wang Daoyuan, who gave you the guts to touch my Disciple?"

Leng Yueli slowly rose from the main seat. With every step she took, an ice crystal lotus bloomed in the Void Realm beneath her feet.

She looked down at Wang Daoyuan, her Ninth Heaven of Tribulation Crossing Realm killing intent released without reservation. It forced Wang Daoyuan to his knees with a "thud," coughing up blood and unable to even lift his head.

"Peak... Peak Master Leng... Su Ye broke the rules..." Wang Daoyuan struggled to argue.

"Rules?"

Leng Yueli sneered, her voice echoing through the clouds: "Your Taiqing Peak Disciple used a Demonic Path forbidden item like the 'Blood-Burning Qi Exploding Talisman' first, intending to destroy the Foundation of my Purple Bamboo Peak Disciple. If it weren't for my Yeer's timely intervention, Qing Zhu would have already perished!"

"Instead of punishing your own wretched Disciple, you old dog actually dared to strike at my Yeer?"

Leng Yueli waved her jade hand, and an ice-blue Sword Qi instantly sliced through the Void Realm, directly severing Wang Daoyuan's right arm!

"Ah—!" Wang Daoyuan screamed in pain, rolling frantically in a pool of blood.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience were as silent as cicadas in winter, their breathing having even stopped.

So overbearing! So protective! This Leng Yueli was simply a female goddess of slaughter!

"Holy Revered Master, do you still intend to favor Taiqing Peak in this matter?" Leng Yueli's gaze turned coldly toward Mysterious Mechanism Master.

Mysterious Mechanism Master smiled bitterly and quickly announced: "Sun Hao of Taiqing Peak used a forbidden drug in violation of the rules and is disqualified! Elder Wang Daoyuan acted impulsively and is fined ten years of salary and ordered to reflect in seclusion! This match goes to Purple Bamboo Peak!"

Upon hearing this judgment, Leng Yueli snorted coldly. She slowly withdrew the snow filling the sky and sat back in her seat.

But in the Sea of Consciousness, she immediately sent an extremely anxious Divine Sense to Su Ye.

"Yeer! You aren't hurt, are you? Did that old dog injure you just now? If I had known, I would have just killed him with one sword strike!"

There wasn't a hint of coldness in that voice; it was clearly that of a little wife anxious for her husband!

Su Ye looked up at his Revered Master on the stage, who was pretending to be cold and aloof. His heart warmed as he transmitted: "Thank you for protecting me, Revered Master. I'm fine, but... the way Revered Master protected me just now was truly beautiful."

Leng Yueli's fair face turned slightly red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Yet, she still replied arrogantly: "Stop being so glib! I just didn't want anyone bullying my Purple Bamboo Peak!"

...

The subsequent matches lost all suspense.

With a great powerhouse like Su Ye presiding, combined with the fierce combat power of Lin Qingzhu, Jiang Wanyin, and Qin Yurou, Purple Bamboo Peak swept through all opponents like dead leaves in the wind.

At dusk, the Seven Peaks Martial Competition officially concluded.

Purple Bamboo Peak firmly took first place with a staggering lead in points, securing more than half of the Holy Land's resource allocation!

Returning to Purple Bamboo Peak, the entire mountain was buzzing with excitement.

"Long live Eldest Senior Brother!"

As soon as Su Ye stepped into the courtyard, his three Junior Sisters rushed over like a gust of fragrant wind, surrounding him in the middle.

Jiang Wanyin grabbed Su Ye's left arm, pressing her impressive chest tightly against him: "Eldest Senior Brother was simply too cool today, saving the beauty on the arena! Wanyin will host a banquet in my Immortal Cave tonight to personally pour wine and peel crabs for you!"

"Second Martial Sister is dreaming!" Lin Qingzhu hugged Su Ye's right arm without backing down, "Eldest Senior Brother saved me! It's only right that I serve him! I've learned a new set of massage techniques and will relieve his fatigue tonight!"

Qin Yurou couldn't squeeze in, so she anxiously hugged Su Ye's waist from behind: "No, no! Eldest Senior Brother is mine! I've refined a Tenfold Great Tonic Pill and want to eat it with him tonight!"

Seeing his three Junior Sisters almost coming to blows over who he "belonged" to tonight, Su Ye felt a massive headache coming on.

Just then, that familiar voice, filled with intense jealousy and warning, rang out in his mind again.

"Su! Ye!"

Far away in the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion, Leng Yueli was watching this scene through a water mirror, so angry she nearly tore the place down.

"If you dare touch them tonight, or go to any of their Immortal Caves, I will immediately activate Purple Bamboo Peak's Mountain Protecting Grand Array and blast you all out!"

"Get your ass over to the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Revered Master is waiting for you in bed... if you don't come, face the consequences!"

Hearing the tone in his mind that sounded as if his Revered Master was about to devour him, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Su Ye's forehead.

On one side were three top-tier Junior Sisters, as fierce as wolves and tigers, clinging to him relentlessly.

On the other side was his tsundere Revered Master, a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert who had already washed up and was waiting for him in bed, ready to go berserk if he broke their appointment.

This playboy lifestyle really wasn't something an ordinary person could handle!

"Ahem..." Su Ye coughed dryly and suddenly released a sliver of Nascent Soul Stage pressure, gently shaking off his three Junior Sisters.

With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the starry sky, his face filled with a heavy expression as if he were worrying about the nation and its people.

"Junior Sisters, I appreciate your kindness. But..."

Su Ye sighed, his tone tragic and heroic: "In today's martial competition, I forced myself to strike and shatter the Blood Blade, causing the Spiritual Qi that Revered Master suppressed last night to riot again! Revered Master just sent me a divine transmission, ordering me to go to the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion immediately. She wants to personally set up the 'Supreme Yin Yang Heart Locking Formation' to treat my injuries throughout the night!"

"What?!" The three women turned pale with shock.

"Therefore, tonight's banquet is canceled." Su Ye looked at the three of them with eyes full of deep affection. "Rest well and don't worry about me. No matter how painful the healing process is, your Eldest Senior Brother will definitely pull through!"

Having said that, Su Ye didn't give them a chance to speak further. He transformed into a streak of light and sped impatiently toward the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion.

The three Junior Sisters left behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Yurou bit her finger, her face full of worry: "Eldest Senior Brother is so pitiful; the treatment must be very painful..."

Lin Qingzhu frowned: "Strange, why did I feel like when Eldest Senior Brother flew away just now, the corner of his mouth... seemed to be smiling?"

Jiang Wanyin looked toward the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion, a suspicious light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

"Don't you think... Revered Master has been having Eldest Senior Brother go to her place for 'treatment' a bit too often lately?"

Jiang Wanyin looked toward the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion, a suspicious light flickering in her beautiful eyes.

"Don't you think... Revered Master has been having Eldest Senior Brother go to her place for 'treatment' a bit too often lately?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Qingzhu and Qin Yurou, who had been bickering, instantly fell silent.

"Second Martial Sister, you mean..." Lin Qingzhu was quick-witted, and her brow immediately furrowed.

Qin Yurou widened her innocent eyes even further and exclaimed, "Could it be... could it be that Revered Master thinks Eldest Senior Brother showed off too much on the stage today and wants to secretly punish him in the cave mansion?!"

Jiang Wanyin rolled her eyes at her and poked Qin Yurou's forehead with a slender finger.

"What is that little brain of yours filled with all day? Revered Master is so protective; how could she punish Eldest Senior Brother for something like that? I'm afraid... Eldest Senior Brother's injuries are even more serious than we imagined!"

Jiang Wanyin took a deep breath, her full chest heaving violently, her tone grave: "Think about it, Eldest Senior Brother went for treatment all night yesterday. Today, he forced himself to shatter a half-step Nascent Soul blade glow—that's the taboo backlash of the Taichu Purple Qi Art!"

"Eldest Senior Brother always reports the good news but hides the bad. What if he can't hold on alone in the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion?"

"No!" Lin Qingzhu suddenly gripped her long sword, her gaze resolute. "We can't let Eldest Senior Brother endure the pain alone. I'm going to stand guard outside the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion! Even if I can't help, I'll know the situation immediately!"

"I'm going too! I'm going too! I'll bring all my healing Medicinal Pills!" Qin Yurou stamped her feet in anxiety.

The three women looked at each other and instantly reached an unprecedented consensus, transforming into three streaks of light and quietly creeping toward the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Moon Embracing Cave Mansion.

Chilly mist swirled, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost materialized.

As soon as Su Ye passed through the barrier of the Mountain Protecting Grand Array, he felt a bone-chilling cold rush toward him.

On the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Bed in the center of the hall, Leng Yueli sat upright.

She was still wearing that noble and cold purple-gold robe, her long black hair cascading like a waterfall down to her slender waist. Her exquisite face was covered in a layer of frost, making her look like an inviolable deity from the Nine Heavens.

However, if one looked closely, they could see that this world-shaking Tribulation Transcendence Stage Great Power had an unnatural flush spreading across her earlobes.

"Rebellious Disciple, why haven't you knelt before your Revered Master!"

Leng Yueli feigned composure and barked coldly, trying to regain her dignity as a Revered Master.

Instead of kneeling, Su Ye walked forward swaggeringly with his signature wicked smile and sat down unceremoniously beside her on the Profound Ice Bed.

"Revered Master, there are no outsiders here. Why put on the airs of a Peak Revered Master?"

Su Ye wrapped his arm around Leng Yueli's slender waist and leaned close to her translucent earlobe, softly breathing hot air.

"Besides, your Disciple just brought great honor to Purple Bamboo Peak on the stage. Is this how Revered Master rewards a hero?"

"You... how insolent!"

Leng Yueli's delicate body trembled violently, her entire being turning soft from the intense masculine aura radiating from him.

She instinctively wanted to push Su Ye away, but when her jade-like hands pressed against Su Ye's solid chest, they were weak and couldn't muster any strength.

"What hero? You acted rashly today. What if your Foundation had been damaged by that Wang Daoyuan from Taiqing Peak?!"

Leng Yueli bit her red lips, a trace of lingering fear and annoyance flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Revered Master... Revered Master's heart was nearly jumping out of her chest on the stage just now, do you know that!"

Seeing his usually high-and-mighty, decisive Revered Master acting like a frightened little woman coquettishly in his arms, Su Ye's desire for conquest instantly exploded.

"So Revered Master was worried about her Disciple just now?"

Su Ye lowered his head, his gaze burning as he stared at Leng Yueli's luscious red lips.

"Who... who's worried about you! Don't flatter yourself!" Leng Yueli turned her head away tsundere-style, gritting her teeth and refusing to admit it, but her racing heart betrayed her.

"Since Revered Master doesn't care, then your Disciple will take his leave. After all, three Junior Sisters are still waiting in the cave mansion to throw a victory banquet for me." Su Ye made a move to stand up.

"You dare!"

Leng Yueli grew anxious and grabbed Su Ye's collar, the words slipping out.

As soon as she spoke, she realized she had lost her composure. Her cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and even her fair neck was stained with a layer of pink.

Seeing Su Ye's half-smiling, teasing gaze, how could Leng Yueli not know she had been played by this little thief?

"Fine then, you even dare to trick your Revered Master!"

Leng Yueli was filled with shame and indignation. She stopped pretending and grabbed Su Ye's collar, pulling him down hard onto the Profound Ice Bed.

"Tonight, without Revered Master's permission, don't even think about stepping half a foot out of this Moon Embracing Cave Mansion!"

Su Ye took the opportunity to pin her down. Looking at the exquisite face so close to his, he laughed softly, "As you command, my lady Revered Master."

Inside the hall, the Supreme Yin Yang Heart Locking Formation roared to life, isolating all presence from the outside world.

Clothes were shed, and the room was filled with the colors of spring.

The extreme cold Spiritual Qi of the Ninth Heaven of Tribulation Crossing Realm intertwined with the violent Primal Beginning Purple Qi inside Su Ye's body, transforming into the most original Yin and Yang Qi as it circulated wildly within them.

(Ten thousand words of indescribable healing process omitted here...)

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

The clouds gathered and the rain ceased; the Spiritual Qi within the cave mansion gradually settled.

Leng Yueli lay limply on Su Ye's broad chest, as if all her strength had been drained. Even moving a finger felt like an effort.

The corners of her eyes still held traces of unshed tears, left behind from being bullied too harshly by this "Rebellious Disciple."

"You bastard... you never know how to cherish your Revered Master..." Leng Yueli complained with a voice as thin as silk, her long jade-like legs giving Su Ye a dissatisfied kick.

Su Ye toyed with her smooth long hair while lightly kissing her smooth forehead.

"Revered Master is wronging me. It's clearly because Revered Master's 'Supreme Yin and Yang Art' is too overbearing that your Disciple had to go all out."

"You still dare to talk back!" Leng Yueli gave Su Ye's waist a sharp pinch, making him hiss in pain.

She looked up, her beautiful eyes full of seriousness and warning.

"Yeer, Revered Master is warning you one more time: what happens between us must never be known by anyone! Especially not by Qing Zhu and the other two!"

"If they find out that Revered Master... that Revered Master actually had an illicit affair with her eldest Disciple, where would the face of the Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak go? When that time comes, Revered Master will simply kill you with one sword and then end her own life in the Primordial Origin Holy Land!"

Seeing Leng Yueli's nervous appearance, Su Ye found it amusing. As a veteran playboy in his past life, his methods of soothing women were perfected to a tee.

"Don't worry, Revered Master. Your Disciple's work has always been airtight. In their eyes, Revered Master will always be that high-and-mighty, pure and noble Peak Master Leng."

Su Ye promised solemnly.

However, just as he finished speaking!

Buzz—!

The Mountain Protecting Grand Array outside the cave mansion suddenly sent a very slight ripple of Spiritual Qi!

Immediately following that, a crisp and anxious shout echoed clearly through the empty cave mansion via the array's communication talisman!

"Revered Master! Eldest Senior Brother! Are you inside?!"

It was Qin Yurou's voice!

"Eldest Senior Brother! We brought top-grade healing Medicinal Pills! Is your injury heavy? Revered Master, please let us in to see Eldest Senior Brother!" This was Lin Qingzhu's pleading voice.

Jiang Wanyin's voice followed closely after: "Revered Master, Eldest Senior Brother suffered this backlash to save Qing Zhu; we really can't rest easy! If we can't see with our own eyes that Eldest Senior Brother is safe, we will kneel outside the cave mansion all night!"

Boom—!

The moment she heard those three voices, Leng Yueli's brain went "buzz," as if struck by the divine lightning of the Nine Heavens, turning completely blank.

"They... they... why are they here?!"

This dignified Ninth Heaven of Tribulation Crossing Realm peerless expert, who could destroy mountains and rivers with a wave of her hand, was now so scared she lost her composure, scrambling around the Profound Ice Bed like a guilty little girl who had been caught stealing.

"It's over, it's over! We've been discovered! They must have heard something outside!"
