Chapter 13 Punishing the Master in front of Ye Bufan!

The afterglow of the setting sun filtered through the window lattice, dappling the cloud couch.

Pei Qinghan's eyes were blurred, her professional attire now in tatters, her long legs clad in black stockings resting weakly on the edge of the couch.

Just as Lin Xiao had said, now that she knew she couldn't resist, she was gradually... starting to enjoy it?

Soon, Pei Qinghan noticed something was off.

After the last time she had finished her Cultivation with this Rebellious Disciple, she noticed a slight progress in her cultivation, but she had dismissed it as a coincidence at the time.

But only two short days had passed, and her cultivation had actually improved again!

Pei Qinghan was filled with immense shock.

In the Late Stage of the Void Refining realm, every bit of progress was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Yet, after Cultivating with this Rebellious Disciple for only a few hours, it was comparable to years of bitter cultivation!

Was this reasonable? This was clearly unreasonable!

If word of this got out, who knew how many hidden female powerhouses would be shocked!

While raising her cultivation was certainly satisfying, the process of raising it also fascinated Pei Qinghan.

Realizing that she actually thought the process was even more satisfying than the result, Pei Qinghan quickly shook her head, thinking she must be muddled by pleasure to have such... strange thoughts...

At this moment, she even faintly had the urge to experience it once more...

Of course, she told herself in her heart that she only wanted to experience that feeling of her cultivation increasing again...

Lin Xiao leaned on his side, propping up his head, admiring this iceberg Revered Master beside him with great interest.

Although Pei Qinghan was excited inside, her face still looked as cold as frost.

For someone like her who had practiced the Heartless Sword Dao for years, feigning coldness was simply too easy.

Just like when she was Cultivating; though she was expressionless on the surface, in reality, she would silently cooperate with just a single look from Lin Xiao.

Seeing his Revered Master remain silent throughout, Lin Xiao couldn't help but wonder to himself:

"After being interrogated by me for so long, she hasn't said a word. Revered Master really is good material for a secret agent..."

"Let me see if you truly dislike it, or if you're just being stubborn!"

With a thought from Lin Xiao, Pei Qinghan's Attribute Panel appeared again.

The other stats hadn't changed, except for her Submission Level, which had gone from 50 to 60!

The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

"Good, good, good. Pretending to be an expert by staying silent, are we? Haji Revered Master, I'll make you reveal your true form sooner or later!"

Seeing Lin Xiao staring at her with a wicked smile, Pei Qinghan knew this Rebellious Disciple was definitely up to no good.

She suddenly pulled the brocade quilt over to cover her delicate body, glaring at Lin Xiao in shame and anger:

"Fine, I have done what I promised you."

"Get out of my bedchamber immediately!"

"And, take these... these indecent rags with you!"

Seeing his Revered Master turn her back on him as soon as she put her skirt on, Lin Xiao's eyebrows twitched. He pressed forward again, grabbing her slender, snowy wrist:

"Revered Master, oh Revered Master, you still love to kill the donkey once the grinding is done."

"I really need to control you properly!"

Just as Lin Xiao was about to display his Divine Might again, a voice carrying Spiritual Qi suddenly came from outside.

"Revered Master!"

"Disciple Ye Bufan has urgent matters and requests an audience!"

Pei Qinghan's body trembled, and a flash of panic appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Ye Bufan? Why is he here?"

In Pei Qinghan's eyes, Ye Bufan was a complete nobody. Although this boy had a resilient Heart-Nature, he only had a Medium Grade Spiritual Root after all.

Looking back now, she didn't even know why she had accepted Ye Bufan as a Personal Disciple in the first place.

Just as she was about to speak and send Ye Bufan away, her waist suddenly tightened.

Lin Xiao locked her firmly in his arms, his warm breath fanning across her earlobe.

"Junior Brother Ye must have something urgent to find Revered Master for. Let him in."

Seeing Pei Qinghan's body tensing up in hesitation, Lin Xiao continued:

"Don't worry, I wouldn't want another man to see Revered Master in such a charming state. Just have him wait outside the door. I promise not to make a sound!"

Pei Qinghan hesitated for two and a half breaths before finally choosing to open the Restriction and let Ye Bufan in.

The courtyard was surrounded by golden railings, filled with abundant pure Spiritual Qi.

The corridor pillars were all carved from Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ironwood, with Dragon patterns that swallowed clouds and absorbed Qi carved upon them.

This wasn't the first time Ye Bufan had set foot here.

But every time he came, he was deeply shocked by the luxury and heritage of this place.

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, an undisguised feverishness and ambition flashing in his eyes.

"Such a rich Spiritual Qi environment. If I could Cultivate here for a long time, even if I had to ignore social norms and become a Dao Companion with Revered Master, I would be willing!"

While Ye Bufan was fantasizing in his heart, Pei Qinghan's cold voice came again:

"Come to my bedroom."

These five simple words almost caused Ye Bufan, who was usually keen on "handicrafts," to crash on the spot!

"Bedroom?"

"Could it be that Revered Master really wants to... with me?"

Ye Bufan's breathing quickened, and his heart pounded wildly.

He adjusted his clothes and flipped the lock of hair on his forehead in a self-proclaimed suave manner.

"Should I feign reserve and refuse slightly to show respect for the Revered Master-Disciple relationship?"

"But what if I overact and Revered Master thinks I'm unwilling and just gives up?"

A battle raged in Ye Bufan's mind, but his steps did not slow down. Taking three steps in two, he arrived at the door of Pei Qinghan's boudoir, which emitted a faint fragrance, in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, his heart was in his throat.

"Forget it! Since Revered Master is interested, why should I be pretentious? No more acting!"

"The path of the strong is inherently informal!"

Ye Bufan took a deep breath and was just about to push the door and enter.

"Bang!"

In the next second, he was directly sent flying by a surge of Spiritual Qi.

Ye Bufan spun two and a half times in the air, finally crashing face-first into the ground in an extremely ungraceful posture.

This hit happened to strike a vital spot, nearly turning Ye Bufan into "Ye Not-Much" on the spot.

"Presumptuous! Is my bedroom somewhere a mere Disciple like you can barge into?"

Hearing Pei Qinghan's cold and angry voice, although Ye Bufan was grinning in pain, his heart was filled with frustration.

"Damn it, is this woman playing hard to get with me? She almost made me lose my offspring!"

Enduring the sharp pain, he scrambled to his feet and bowed deeply toward the door with great respect.

"I apologize, Revered Master. It was my lack of consideration; I was a bit reckless."

"I have come to find Revered Master today because I actually have an important matter to discuss!"

The room was silent for a moment, and then a series of intermittent sounds drifted out:

"What... ng... what is it..."

Hearing this slightly strange voice, Ye Bufan was filled with confusion.

"Revered Master's voice is usually as clear and pleasant as jade breaking in Kunshan. Why does it sound a bit raspy today, and even has a bit of... a nasal tone?"

"It feels as if Revered Master is enduring something?"

"And it doesn't sound entirely like pain. Could it be that something went wrong with Revered Master's cultivation, and then, fearing I would worry, she deliberately kept me outside? To endure this suffering alone?"

At this thought, a warm current immediately surged through Ye Bufan's heart.

"Revered Master, you really... I'm moved to tears!"

Inside the room.

Pei Qinghan's hair was disheveled, and her stunning face was already covered in a rosy flush.

With a wave of her jade-like hand, a Sound-isolating Restriction instantly enveloped the room.

She looked back at the smug-faced Lin Xiao behind her and said in shame and indignation:

"Rebellious Disciple, you promised not to mess around!"

Lin Xiao had a wicked smile on his face, "Revered Master, I believe I only promised not to make a sound? I was thinking, I haven't made a sound!"

"You!" Pei Qinghan was mortified. This Rebellious Disciple was actually playing word games with her!

But in this situation, she could only bite the bullet and deal with Ye Bufan outside first.

Seeing that the Rebellious Disciple behind her seemed a bit more behaved, Pei Qinghan waved her jade hand again, removing the Sound-isolating Restriction.

"You are looking for me for... ng... what matter..."

Lin Xiao used his actions to show Pei Qinghan what it meant to talk less and do more...
