7: Chapter 7: Is this Fairy Dew guaranteed to ripen?

Life in the Immortal Cave was even more unbearable than Fei Yuechan had imagined.

In the past, when she would go into seclusion, she could sit for months or even years, drinking wind and eating dew, losing track of the passage of time.

But now, with her cultivation tightly sealed by that strange dark-gold mark used by Gu Yi, she had not only lost the ability to abstain from food but could not even do the most basic task of resisting the wind and cold.

Here on the harsh Guhan Cliff, she truly understood the fragility of what it meant to be a "Mortal".

What made her feel even more desperate was that the Rebellious Disciple who claimed he would "personally take care" of her had truly kept his word.

From that morning on, Gu Yi had brazenly moved into her Guanghan Cave Heaven.

Every morning, Gu Yi would punctually bring warm spiritual spring water, calling for her to wake up and wash with a tone so gentle it made one's skin crawl. At night, he would use the excuse of "preventing the cold poison from rebounding" to forcibly pull her into his scalding embrace, compelling her to rest together.

Fei Yuechan had resisted, and had even gone on a hunger strike.

But Gu Yi simply did not buy into that.

If she refused to eat, Gu Yi would use a mouth-to-mouth method, extremely domineeringly forcing the spiritual liquid that replenished Life Qi into her mouth until she was blushing, panting, and forced to compromise.

Under this absolute physiological suppression and Gu Yi's "attentive care," which was like a frog being boiled in warm water, Fei Yuechan discovered that her hatred for this Rebellious Disciple had subtly become less and less pure.

That feeling was like a thorny rose growing on the edge of a cliff. She knew the thorns would prick, yet she couldn't help but want to drink the drop of sweet dew on the petals.

At noon that day.

Outside the Immortal Cave, wind and snow raged, but inside, due to Gu Yi's presence, it always maintained a comfortable, constant temperature.

Fei Yuechan leaned lazily against the dark ice jade bed.

Although the moon-white outer robe she wore was loose, it still could not hide her breathtaking, graceful curves. After being nourished by Gu Yi's Chaos Creation Qi over the past few days, her cheeks, which had originally been as pale as paper, had finally regained some of the rosy glow belonging to a vibrant woman.

She looked at Gu Yi, who was sitting not far away at a stone table with his eyes closed in meditation, and a look of extreme complexity flashed in her beautiful eyes.

These past few days, besides "taking care" of her, Gu Yi spent most of his time just like this, sitting there quietly, not knowing what he was contemplating.

The secrets on this Rebellious Disciple seemed to be even more numerous than those of her, his Revered Master.

But at this moment, Gu Yi, sitting at the stone table, was not Cultivating as Fei Yuechan thought.

His mind was completely immersed in the [Destiny Villain System] panel that had just opened deep in his mind.

"System, open the villain shop."

Gu Yi muttered in his heart.

With a faint blue light flashing, a translucent virtual mall interface that only he could see slowly unfolded before his retina.

Gu Yi browsed the items in the shop with great interest.

The style of this shop was indeed completely different from those mindless Systems in his imagination that would sell things like the Immortal Execution Sword or Pangu Axe at every turn.

[Item List]:

[Soundproof Barrier MAX] (Price: 500 Villain Points): Can isolate all Divine Sense and sound detection; those below the Soul Transformation Stage cannot perceive it. An essential item for home and travel, or when walls have ears.

[Truth Serum Immortal Brew] (Price: 1000 Villain Points): After drinking, it allows the target to let down all psychological defenses for half an hour and reveal their deepest, truest thoughts. (Note: Invalid against targets whose cultivation is two major Realms higher than the host.)

[Ice Silkworm Silk Black Stockings] (Price: 200 Villain Points): Woven from top-grade ice silk spun by ice silkworms from the far north, not only is the touch extremely silky, but it also has a weak Spirit Gathering effect. The style is novel and has great visual impact. (Note: Only for female cultivators to wear.)

[immortal maiden jade dew] (Price: 300 Villain Points): Brewed by collecting morning dew from above the Nine Heavens, supplemented with the stamens of a hundred flowers. The taste is extremely sweet; not only can it quickly restore a Mortal's physical strength and Life Qi, but long-term consumption can also maintain youth and beauty, making the skin emit a strange fragrance...

Looking at these rows of dazzling items, Gu Yi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

This was no villain shop; this was clearly a top-tier erotic goods store disguised in the cloak of Cultivation.

However, Gu Yi didn't feel disappointed.

Although the things in this shop couldn't be used to slash people, they were absolutely Divine-Grade aids for conquering the heroine and adding spice to life.

Gu Yi's gaze paused on the immortal maiden jade dew column.

These past few days, because her cultivation was sealed, Fei Yuechan had only been able to eat some low-grade spiritual fruits and clear water he brought from outside, and she seemed a bit dispirited.

For a Fairy who was used to drinking wind and eating dew, those mundane things were truly difficult to swallow.

"Redeem one portion of immortal maiden jade dew."

Gu Yi gave the command without hesitation.

[Ding! 300 Villain Points consumed, redemption successful.]

Along with the prompt, a small white jade porcelain bottle carved with exquisite patterns appeared silently in Gu Yi's palm.

As soon as the porcelain bottle appeared, a rich, sweet, yet not cloying fragrance of a hundred flowers instantly permeated the entire ice room.

Fei Yuechan, leaning on the dark ice jade bed, twitched her nose imperceptibly.

Her eyes, which had originally been a bit dim, instantly brightened after smelling this fragrance. This pure, Advanced spiritual liquid fragrance was even more alluring than the top-grade hundred-flower brew she had smelled in the Sect treasury before.

She subconsciously swallowed, her gaze falling involuntarily on the white jade porcelain bottle in Gu Yi's hand.

"Awake?"

Gu Yi naturally caught this subtle movement of his Revered Master. He retracted the System panel, took the porcelain bottle, and walked unhurriedly to the side of the dark ice jade bed.

"What is this?"

Fei Yuechan tried hard to make her voice sound cold and full of defenses, but those eyes, staring tightly at the porcelain bottle, betrayed her truest desire at this moment.

"immortal maiden jade dew."

Gu Yi pulled out the bottle stopper, and that sweet fragrance instantly became ten times more intense.

"A bottle of spiritual liquid that this Disciple accidentally obtained while training outside some days ago. It is said that not only can it quickly restore physical strength, but it can also maintain youth and beauty. Seeing that Revered Master has had a poor appetite these past few days, I specifically brought it for you to taste."

As Gu Yi said this, he sat on the edge of the bed and held the porcelain bottle to Fei Yuechan's lips.

The fragrance of this spiritual liquid was simply too alluring; for Fei Yuechan, who was currently starving and physically weak, it was nothing short of a fatal temptation.

But she did not open her mouth immediately.

Her past pride, as well as her deep-seated defense against Gu Yi, made her instinctively resist this kind of feeding, which was similar to "begged food."

"This Revered Master will not eat it."

Fei Yuechan turned her head away and coldly spat out four words.

"Who knows if there is poison in something brought out by a Rebellious Disciple like you."

Gu Yi looked at her stubborn, tsundere appearance, and instead of getting angry, he chuckled lowly.

He did not forcibly pry open Fei Yuechan's mouth, but instead, right in front of her, tilted his head back and drank a small sip of that bottle of immortal maiden jade dew.

"The taste is indeed not bad."

Gu Yi licked his lips and deliberately made an admiring sound.

"Sweet but not cloying, melting in the mouth, as if a hundred flowers are blooming on the tip of the tongue. It's just a pity that since Revered Master is unwilling to grace me with her presence, this Disciple will have to enjoy this top-grade spiritual liquid alone."

As he said this, Gu Yi made a move to drink all the remaining jade dew.

"You..."

Fei Yuechan grew anxious.

She hadn't had a drop of water in days, and having just been hooked by that fragrance, her stomach uncooperatively let out a faint "rumble."

In the vast and quiet ice room, although this sound was very light, it was clearly audible.

Fei Yuechan's stunningly beautiful face instantly flushed red to her earlobes, visible to the naked eye.

This was even more shameful to her than killing her!

Gu Yi stopped his actions and looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"It seems Revered Master's body is much more honest than your mouth."

"Gu Yi! Don't you dare be arrogant!"

Fei Yuechan was ashamed and furious; she suddenly reached out, wanting to snatch the porcelain bottle from Gu Yi's hand.

But her speed at this moment was, in Gu Yi's eyes, as slow as a snail crawling.

Gu Yi flipped his wrist, easily dodging her snatching attempt, and took the opportunity to use his free hand to gently pinch her small, delicate chin.

"Revered Master, since you are hungry, then obediently open your mouth."

Gu Yi's voice deepened a few notches, carrying an unquestionable domineering air.

"Or are you hoping that this Disciple will feed you mouth-to-mouth, just like in the past few days?"

Hearing the words "mouth-to-mouth," Fei Yuechan trembled all over, and the shameful scenes of being forcibly fed Qi by Gu Yi over the past few days uncontrollably appeared in her mind.

In her beautiful, teary eyes, a look of extreme grievance and unwillingness flashed.

In the end, under Gu Yi's highly oppressive gaze and her instinctive desire for that bottle of jade dew, this once high-and-mighty ice-mountain Fairy still, with extreme difficulty and humiliation, slightly opened those cherry-blossom-like lips.

"That's right."

Gu Yi smiled with satisfaction.

He tilted the white jade porcelain bottle, carefully pouring that thick, crystalline immortal maiden jade dew onto the tip of Fei Yuechan's tongue, little by little.

The moment the jade dew entered her mouth.

That extreme sweetness and rich Life Qi instantly exploded in Fei Yuechan's mouth.

She couldn't help but squint her eyes in comfort, her originally tightly locked brows relaxed, and her throat moved naturally, greedily swallowing those jade dews.

Gu Yi looked at her obedient appearance, like a kitten eating, and the wicked fun in his heart was greatly satisfied.

He fed her sip by sip.

Fei Yuechan still maintained that cold, resistant expression on the surface, but every time the jade dew approached, her lips would very honestly open slightly, and even when Gu Yi paused, her tongue would unconsciously lick the residue on the corner of her lips.

Until that small bottle of immortal maiden jade dew was completely empty.

Fei Yuechan exhaled a breath of turbid air gently, her cheeks flushed with a intoxicating red, and a layer of fine, fragrant sweat even seeped from her forehead. Her originally hollow and powerless eyes now regained their radiance.

That comfort from the inside out and the sense of fulfillment from being filled made her, at this moment, feel a hint of extreme, absurd gratitude toward this Rebellious Disciple before her who had deceived his Revered Master and destroyed his ancestors.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host not only satisfied the target physiologically but also completely shattered her tsundere defense psychologically, prompting the core Luck heroine, Fei Yuechan, to develop a rudimentary form of substantive dependence.]

[Villain Points + 500.]

Gu Yi put down the empty white jade porcelain bottle, took out a silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the glistening residue overflowing from the corner of Fei Yuechan's lips.

Just at this moment, the System panel deep in his mind flashed with a red light again.

[Ding! Intelligence Update: Detected abnormal movements of the Luck child, Lin Tian, who is quietly concealing his tracks and heading to the periphery of the Sect's back mountain.]

Gu Yi's action of wiping her lips paused slightly.

Lin Tian went to the back mountain?

The map of the Xuantian Sect flashed rapidly through Gu Yi's mind.

The Sect's back mountain had treacherous terrain and was often haunted by exotic beasts, and it was also the place where Disciples in the Sect liked to go to try their Luck.

And Guhan Cliff happened to be right next to the perimeter of the back mountain!

Calculating the time, having stayed in this gentle town for a few days, it was time to do some real work. Going to set up camp at Guhan Cliff would not only allow him to logically monitor the movements of the Luck child, Lin Tian, but also allow him to avoid the limelight.

A faint sound of conversation drifted in intermittently through the gaps in the Formation on the outskirts of the Guanghan Cave Heaven.

"Sigh, have you heard? Senior Brother was punished by the Peak Revered Master and sent to Guhan Cliff; it's already been a few days."

"Who says it isn't? What kind of place is Guhan Cliff? It never sees the sun all year round, and the cold wind cuts to the bone. Even if Senior Brother is in the Golden Core Stage, if he stays in such a place for a long time, I'm afraid he'll lose half his life."

The discussion between two Outer Sect Disciples responsible for cleaning the roads on the outskirts of the main peak seemed exceptionally clear in the quiet inner chamber.

Fei Yuechan's originally relaxed body suddenly stiffened.

She suddenly realized that she had announced in public at the great hall that she would send Gu Yi to Guhan Cliff to reflect on his mistakes. If she kept this Rebellious Disciple in her boudoir, once this matter was exposed, her reputation as the Lanyue Peak Revered Master would be completely destroyed!

Gu Yi put the silk handkerchief into his sleeve and, using this ready-made excuse that had been delivered to his door, slowly stood up.

He put away his previous frivolity and banter, turned his back to Fei Yuechan, and let out a sigh full of bitterness.

"Revered Master, you heard it."

Gu Yi's voice was low, revealing a sense of righteous determination.

"The judgment in the great hall is known to the whole Sect. If this Disciple continues to hide and slack off here in the Guanghan Cave Heaven, once a patrolling deacon detects any clues, it will definitely ruin the reputation you have painstakingly built, Revered Master."

He turned around, took a deep look at Fei Yuechan, who was pale on the dark ice jade bed, stepped back slightly, cupped his hands, and bowed.

"Being able to serve by Revered Master's side day and night these past few days, this Disciple is already satisfied. In order to cover people's eyes and protect your reputation, this Disciple will now take his leave and head to Guhan Cliff alone to continue his punishment."

After speaking, Gu Yi didn't drag things out at all, turned around directly, and walked with steady steps toward the heavy stone door of the inner chamber.

The sound of his boots stepping on the bluestone floor, one after another, seemed to be stepping on Fei Yuechan's nerves.

Looking at that slender back that was resolutely leaving, Fei Yuechan only felt her heart suddenly empty, and that chill and loneliness that had just been suppressed swept over her like a sky-covering flood.
