29: Chapter 29 Gu Yi, the master of mediating disputes, believes that the whole family should be together!

"Revered Master, the wind is strong here, and you have just stabilized your Realm. Please, do not let your anger flare up."

Gu Yi's voice was extremely gentle, his deep eyes filled with concern. "As for this Divine Soul... she is accustomed to speaking without thinking. Given your noble status, Revered Master, it is not worth lowering yourself to her level."

The moment his words fell, Gu Yi's gaze swept without warning toward Ji Meier, who was sitting on a bluestone watching the show.

There was no longer any trace of the previous anxiety in his eyes; instead, they revealed an unquestionable dominance.

Ji Meier was swinging her two snow-white legs, preparing to see how this little devil would wrap things up. Immediately afterward, she felt an irresistible, invisible suction force suddenly erupt along the contractual bond of the millennium soul-nurturing wood.

"Aiyah—" Ji Meier felt her body lighten, and her semi-substantial, enchanting body, condensed from Divine Sense, was pulled directly over by Gu Yi from across the air.

Before she could even react, "Smack!" A crisp, melodious sound of a slap echoed through the bottom of the empty cliff.

Gu Yi's large hand landed unceremoniously on the astonishing, well-endowed curves of Ji Meier. The force of this blow was perfectly judged; it neither harmed her Divine Soul nor failed to deliver a powerful show of deterrence, causing her semi-transparent skirt to ripple violently.

"I let you out to get some fresh air, not to talk back to Revered Master." Gu Yi kept a straight Face, his tone severe, looking every bit like a head of the household reprimanding a disobedient concubine. "Why haven't you retreated to the side to reflect on your mistakes?"

Ji Meier shuddered from the slap.

In her past life, she was a renowned powerhouse at the Dao Integration Stage; when had she ever been publicly... humiliated like this?

A layer of mist instantly clouded her Soul-stealing fox eyes, and she reached out to cover the burning area. However, looking at Gu Yi's cold, warning gaze, this old enchantress was not angry; instead, a strange tingling sensation emerged from the depths of her Soul.

She knew very well that Gu Yi was killing the chicken to warn the monkey, doing this deliberately for the Revered Master who was currently in a fit of rage, to give the other party a way to back down with Face.

"You hurt me so much..." Ji Meier bit her red lips and gave Gu Yi a charming, resentful roll of her eyes. She did not continue to fan the flames, but instead, extremely cooperatively, followed the step Gu Yi had given her, obediently floating back to the shadows several feet away and shutting her mouth honestly.

This smooth-as-flowing-water "spanking" punishment not only instantly resolved the tense deadlock but also left Fei Yuechan and Senior Sister Mu Qingxue dumbfounded.

The ice sword in Fei Yuechan's hand had long since dissipated into ice dust.

Looking at the beautiful enchantress who had obediently retreated to the side, the monstrous rage in her heart was diluted by an extremely strange emotion. This Rebellious Disciple not only dared to lay hands on his Senior Sister but also had such a top-tier Divine Soul by his side who was so obedient and at his beck and call?

"Junior Brother Gu..." Mu Qingxue, who had been hiding in her fox-fur cloak, finally found a chance to interject. Her clear eyes still held the massive confusion brought by Ji Meier's earlier words, and she looked at Gu Yi, her voice trembling with helplessness.

"That Senior just said... Revered Master had already been detoxified in the hot spring. Then... our Formation fusion just now, were you lying to me?"

This question was also the fatal weakness that Fei Yuechan could not Face right now.

She bit her lip tightly and turned her head away, not daring to look into her eldest Disciple's pure and flawless eyes.

Facing this Soul-piercing interrogation, Gu Yi's expression did not show the slightest panic.

He released the wrist he was holding, stepped forward, and naturally wrapped his left arm around Fei Yuechan's slender waist, while extending his right arm to pull the fox-fur-clad Mu Qingxue into his embrace as well.

This extremely bold and presumptuous action caused both high-and-mighty Fairies to stiffen simultaneously.

"How presumptuous!" Fei Yuechan was ashamed and furious, instinctively wanting to break free, but she found Gu Yi's arm like an iron clamp. Moreover, the aura of his Creation Immortal Body was pouring into her body, soothing her tense nerves and leaving her unable to muster even the slightest bit of true resistance.

"Senior Sister, I have never lied to you." Gu Yi rested his chin gently on top of Mu Qingxue's head, his tone incredibly sincere and serious. "The ten-thousand-year cold poison in Revered Master's body has long since penetrated the bone marrow. The incident in the hot spring only removed the surface toxins and saved Revered Master's life. But those extremely cold Origins that have already eroded the internal organs could erupt and backlash at any moment."

Gu Yi looked directly into Mu Qingxue's eyes.

"Only with your Extreme Yin Sword Body, combined with the circulation of the Yin and Yang Formation, can we reach the deepest parts of Revered Master's Meridians, completely eradicate those remaining hidden dangers, and help Revered Master break out of the cocoon like a butterfly, stepping into the Soul Transformation Stage in one go. If you don't believe me, Senior Sister, you can feel the endless, harmonious Qi within Revered Master's body right now."

Mu Qingxue was slightly stunned.

She was a Sword Cultivator, extremely sensitive to Qi. She carefully sensed the pressure from Fei Yuechan beside her and found that it was indeed as Gu Yi said; the power was neutral and peaceful, no longer carrying the oppressive cold of the past, but instead revealing a trace of the Extreme Yin Origin she was extremely familiar with.

This was the result she had exchanged for by giving of herself without reservation in the Formation earlier.

"So... that's how it is." Mu Qingxue's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled securely.

In her simple logic, as long as Revered Master truly needed her, and as long as her earlier sacrifice was valuable, that was enough. As for what advantages Junior Brother Gu took in the process, that was only natural after they became "Dao Companions."

A look of relief bloomed once again on her cold, pretty Face, and she obediently pressed her cheek against Gu Yi's chest, nodding slightly.

Having pacified one, Gu Yi turned his head to look at Fei Yuechan, who was still wearing a cold Face in his left arm.

"Revered Master." Gu Yi tightened his left arm, holding Fei Yuechan even tighter, and whispered into her ear, "This Disciple knows he was wrong. I should not have kept it from you and set up this Yin and Yang Formation on my own initiative."

"You still know you were wrong?!" Fei Yuechan gritted her teeth in anger at his twisting of facts. How could she not tell that Gu Yi's words just now were purely to coax that silly girl, Qingxue? What deep-seated hidden danger? It was clearly an excuse he fabricated to drag Qingxue into the water as well!

"You deceitful Rebellious Disciple, what do you take us Revered Master and Disciple for..." Although Fei Yuechan's voice still carried anger, the terrifying pressure of the Soul Transformation Stage had long since dissipated. At this moment, she was more like a little woman who had suffered a great grievance but had nowhere to vent it.

"I take you both as the treasures that I, Gu Yi, swear to protect with my life." Gu Yi interrupted her questioning.

"Revered Master, you often say that the path of cultivation is long and lonely. I do not wish for you to suffer the cold poison alone, nor do I wish for Senior Sister to spend her life lonely, accompanied only by her sword. Since Heaven has allowed the Qi of the three of us to completely merge today, then from now on, we are a family."

Gu Yi's eyes were as deep as the night sky at the bottom of the cliff.

"Regardless of how the world sees it, regardless of the Sect's rules. You cherish Senior Sister, Senior Sister respects you, and I love you both. A family means being together, complete and whole, never to be separated."

These rebellious words, yet filled with intense emotion, deeply shook the Dao Heart that Fei Yuechan had guarded for hundreds of years.

She looked at Gu Yi's eyes, which did not seem fake, and then at her eldest Disciple Mu Qingxue, who was curled up in his right embrace, her eyes full of expectations for the future.

The wood was already carved into a boat.

The Extreme Yin power within the two of them and the Pure Yang Immortal Body had already formed an inseparable bond; even if she wanted to kill Gu Yi, she feared that the stubborn girl Qingxue would be the first to draw her sword and block her. What's more... how could she herself bear to do it?

Recalling the ultimate experience in the hot spring, like walking on the clouds, the last trace of resistance in Fei Yuechan's heart was finally completely defeated by the sweetness and helplessness surging into her heart.

"You... you insatiable scoundrel." A faint mist of water welled up in Fei Yuechan's beautiful eyes, and she raised her powdery fist, striking Gu Yi's chest not too lightly or heavily.

This punch did not use any True Origin; rather than a punishment, it was more like the coquettishness and compromise between lovers.

She did not break free from Gu Yi's embrace again but obediently rested her head on his shoulder, forming a strange yet incomparably harmonious and beautiful picture with Mu Qingxue on the other side.

"Giggle, congratulations to my little scoundrel for getting your wish and enjoying the blessings of having both women." In the shadows not far away, the now-honest Ji Meier issued a soft, glutinous congratulation at the right time, though the sourness in her tone could not be covered up.

Gu Yi ignored her, simply feeling the completely different yet equally alluring body temperatures of the two stunning beauties in his arms, a very subtle curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.

[Ding! Detected that the host, relying on extremely high emotional intelligence and thick skin, has successfully resolved a high-difficulty Shuraba crisis!]

[Core Luck heroines (Fei Yuechan, Mu Qingxue) have initially reached a state of harem harmony.]

[Villain Points + 1000!]

Gu Yi's mood instantly improved greatly. He circulated his Creation Immortal Body, dispelling all the coldness in the surrounding air, forming a warm-as-spring spiritual power shield around the three of them.

"The night is deep, and the cliff bottom is bitterly cold. Revered Master and Senior Sister have just had a Breakthrough, and your Realms are not yet stable. Tonight, let this Disciple provide close protection for you both to consolidate your cultivation."

Gu Yi's words were spoken with high-sounding justification. But in this posture of holding one in each arm, as for what this "close protection" actually meant, I fear that even the emotionally dense Mu Qingxue vaguely sensed something unusual.
