97: Chapter 97 Fallen petals are not heartless things

Inside the core cabin of the cloud whale ship, a romantic atmosphere permeated.

Yu Lingshuang truly hadn't understood the meaning behind Ling Hao's words, but soon...

When her back touched the soft bed, she understood instantly!

Ling Hao leaned over, enveloping her, and lowered his head.

Yu Lingshuang closed her eyes.

After a long while, Ling Hao pulled back slightly.

The two locked eyes, each clearly reflecting the other's image in their pupils.

Yu Lingshuang's eyes were misty, gazing at Ling Hao with watery eyes; her voice, usually clear and cold, now carried a hint of grievance and accusation:

"I... saw it..."

"Hm? Saw what?"

Ling Hao propped himself up, looking down at her from above.

"Saw you... and your Disciples..."

Yu Lingshuang's voice dropped, tinged with bitterness,

"On the flying ship... and in the cabin..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Hao replied righteously:

"We are truly in love."

His frankness only made Yu Lingshuang feel more stifled. She punched Ling Hao's chest with her small fist, her cold voice rarely carrying a hint of coquettish resentment and accusation:

"You not only laid hands on your own Disciples... you even laid hands on my Disciple Huang Yutong... and you even want to go after the female Disciples in the Sect... I see that when you, Sect Master, opened the Sect gates to recruit female Disciples, you had ulterior motives and plotted this for a long time!"

Ling Hao raised an eyebrow, righteous and serious:

"Nonsense! This Seat only wanted to give those female cultivators who suffer from erosion qi and have no one to rely on a warm and safe home!"

He paused and added.

"As for the guidance? That is proper cultivation instruction! Helping them improve their strength so they have the power to survive in this cruel world! Vice Sect Master Yu, your thoughts are not very pure!"

Yu Lingshuang was speechless. She could not deny that the Moonshadow Sect had indeed become a haven and a ladder for advancement that countless low-level female cultivators dreamed of, and the erosion suppression monument benefited all living beings.

Even she herself, if not for the Moonshadow Sect, would likely have long since perished... and there was the companionship day and night for the past three years—

Thinking of this, the jealousy in her heart was eventually replaced by a more complex sense of gratitude and belonging.

She shook her head helplessly, the frost melting away, and she couldn't help but laugh softly. The charm that bloomed in her eyes for an instant was enough to make the world lose its color.

Ling Hao's heart fluttered at the sight, and he lowered his head again.

Yu Lingshuang turned her head slightly to dodge, a flash of slyness in her eyes.

...

Inside the gauze curtains, light and shadows flickered.

Behind the heavy, hanging gauze curtains, figures intertwined.

Tonight was destined to belong to Yu Lingshuang.

...

The morning sunlight poured gently into the core cabin through the wide glass windows of the cloud whale ship.

Ling Hao had long since woken up, lying on his side, propping his head up, gazing tenderly at the jade-like face sleeping beside him.

Yu Lingshuang's usually ice-cold face was now peaceful and docile, carrying a hint of fragility and satisfaction after being thoroughly cherished.

In his mind, an extremely familiar, cold female voice rang out.

"Ding! Detected that [ Yu Lingshuang ]'s loyalty has reached 100%, triggering [ Heaven-Defying Fate Change ]!"

"Cold Flood Dragon Body evolved into — [ Profound Underworld Flood Dragon Saint Body ]!"

"Heaven-grade Spiritual Root evolved into — [ Immortal-grade Spiritual Root ]!"

"Profound Underworld Flood Dragon Saint Body talent activated: Ice Law Dominator! Immortal Physical Body! Dragon Clan coercion! Ice Heart Immortal Soul!..."

Ling Hao's lips curled slightly.

"Knock, knock —"

A series of cautious knocks sounded, accompanied by Chi Wanhe's crisp voice.

"Revered Master? May I come in?"

Damn it—!!!

After about a dozen breaths, the cabin door opened silently.

Chi Wanhe poked her head in, complaining in a low voice:

"Revered Master, why did it take so long to open the door..."

Her gaze subconsciously swept across the spacious cabin, and her footsteps naturally moved toward the desk. As she passed the table, her gaze glanced quickly and seemingly inadvertently at the bottom of the desk — it was empty.

A bright and radiant smile instantly bloomed on Chi Wanhe's face, as if she had unloaded some heavy burden.

She stepped lightly and threw herself directly into Ling Hao's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, looking up, her voice so sweet it could drip honey:

"Revered Master! Today! It's my turn for duty!"

She deliberately emphasized the two words "duty", her eyes shining with anticipation.

"Hm."

Ling Hao responded, but his gaze involuntarily swept over the wardrobe by the bed.

Chi Wanhe stood on her tiptoes, offered a sweet kiss, and at the same time used force, unexpectedly pushing the completely unprepared Ling Hao directly onto the large, soft bed behind him!

"Wait... let's go to the Cave Heaven first..." Ling Hao hadn't finished speaking.

Chi Wanhe had already leaned over and pressed down, her long hair hanging down, her breath warm, her eyes filled with undisguised possessiveness and eagerness:

"Revered Master, don't be in such a rush... duty... can't it start now?"

This Rebellious Disciple... starting trouble early in the morning!
