Chapter 323: The Correct Way of Bonding between Master and Disciple

Even though the change was subtle, that annoying feeling had diminished a bit.

“Master, have you really fallen in love with me?” Ye Wenxin thought of this strange possibility, but felt that even if all the female cultivators in the world fell in love with her, Fairy Fengya would never have any such thoughts about her.

“Maybe,” Fairy Fengya answered, but her tone was uncertain. Hearing this, Ye Wenxin felt a chill down her spine. Her hand shrank back, but Fairy Fengya’s grip remained tight.

Ye Wenxin’s expression turned more disdainful. “Did Great Grandma teach you this again?”

Fairy Fengya nodded without denying it, and Ye Wenxin didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, she advised, “You should heed your own thoughts more and not always follow Great Grandma’s instructions.”

Fairy Fengya listened in silence. It was unclear whether she completely ignored Ye Wenxin’s words or had other thoughts. Ye Wenxin knew that her attempt to show concern as an old woman had once again failed. She put away her overflowing maternal instincts and focused on the path ahead.

They walked along this road for about another quarter of an hour until they finally reached the first fork. There were two symbols drawn there, one resembling the sun and the other resembling the moon.

Apart from these symbols, the paths looked identical, making it difficult to decide which way to go.

“In life, the hardest thing is making choices,” Ye Wenxin said helplessly. She looked at Fairy Fengya and eventually made a decision. “Let’s go separately this time.”

As she spoke, she tried to let go of Fairy Fengya’s hand, only to feel it gripping her tightly.

“Hmm, you should know that I have the strength to handle this kind of ghostly place on my own.” Ye Wenxin frowned slightly, feeling that Fairy Fengya had become clingy. Although she was also unsure if this eerie place could indeed defeat one Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng.

“It’s dangerous here. Trust me,” Fairy Fengya said stubbornly. She then dragged Ye Wenxin towards the path marked with the sun.

Despite being marked with the sun, the path was filled with Yin Fetuses, most of them fully grown. Fairy Fengya swiftly dealt with each one with a single slash, while Ye Wenxin followed behind, feeling depressed that she had been useless today.

Fairy Fengya’s protection was as thorough as ever. After walking a bit further, they finally reached the end of the path and saw a strange, little old man.

He had the face of a Yin Fetus, but was waving a flag. After seeing them, the old man turned to flee in fright. Ye Wenxin rushed forward, pinned him down, and slammed him onto the ground a few times.

The little old man let out a series of unintelligible cries. Ye Wenxin decided to grab the flag. She waved it a few times in the air, then watched as the black mist started to dissipate. Clearly, everything outside and within the corridor was this old man’s doing.

Seeing Ye Wenxin’s actions, the old man wailed again. Ye Wenxin swiftly killed him with her dagger, and this time, not only did the black mist disappear, but the ghostly hands in the corridor vanished as well.

The old man’s body turned into a pool of dark green blood. At that moment, the ground shook, the ceiling suddenly vanished, and the surroundings underwent a drastic change.

As she looked around, Ye Wenxin saw the immortal sect disciples not far away. They seemed surprised to see Ye Wenxin and Fairy Fengya appearing before them after being gone for so long. Moreover, the ground was littered with dismembered corpses of many immortal sect disciples.

Ye Wenxin glanced around the corridor and, with a touch of irony, realized that they had been wandering in the same place for a long time. The so-called sun and moon symbols indicated that the path marked by the sun led to the correct route, while the moon sign led to the lake.

Anyone who took the moon path would be misled by illusions and fall into the lake, becoming a delicious meal for the Yin Fetuses.

Ye Wenxin recalled that she had initially wanted to choose the moon path. She suddenly felt grateful that Fairy Fengya had pulled her back, preventing such a disastrous outcome.

The ground continued to shake. After briefly explaining what had happened, Ye Wenxin noticed a tall mountain rising in the distance, and atop it stood a majestic villa.

The villa’s grand gates opened, as if inviting everyone to enter. However, the sky was already growing dark, and given the heavy losses around them, the group decided to rest where they were and take a short break.

Jin Xiaoqin pulled Ye Wenxin aside, asking, “Did you get anything on your trip?” Ye Wenxin, bemused, could only explain that Fairy Fengya had frozen everything along the way.

Jin Xiaoqin’s expression turned subtle, as if beginning to worry whether Ye Wenxin might develop a notion to betray her master.

Although some of the others didn’t know Fairy Fengya’s true strength, a few senior and junior sisters were well aware of her true cultivation level. If Fairy Fengya deliberately showcased her power, the effect would be even more apparent.

The more Jin Xiaoqin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She glanced at Fairy Fengya in the distance, and then quietly pulled Ye Wenxin to a secluded corner.

“Master, why are you sneakily pulling me aside like this?” Ye Wenxin was speechless. She wanted to explain that no matter what Fairy Fengya did, she wouldn’t develop any thoughts of betrayal. But then she felt Jin Xiaoqin grasp her hand firmly.

Ye Wenxin was even more bewildered. In the next second, Jin Xiaoqin, as if making a resolute decision, placed Ye Wenxin’s hand on her own chest.

“???”

Ye Wenxin was dumbstruck. She had encountered people offering themselves before, but this was the first time she had seen Jin Xiaoqin’s way of offering.

“What kind of expression is that? It’s not like I can become your Dao companion, but I can still give you a taste of something sweet.” Jin Xiaoqin’s face was slightly flushed as she glared at Ye Wenxin with dissatisfaction.

She moved Ye Wenxin’s hand under her clothes. Ye Wenxin was still a bit dazed, trying hard to confirm that the peach blossom luck aura hadn’t changed, but she could feel she was touching something extraordinary.

The sensation through the dudou was hard to ignore.

“How is it? Your master’s figure is quite good, right?” Jin Xiaoqin restrained her shyness and emphasized her advantages boldly, implying she was far superior to Fairy Fengya.

Ye Wenxin was completely tongue-tied. She could feel Jin Xiaoqin leaning against her, her body softening, and her hot breath on her neck. It seemed Jin Xiaoqin was getting excited, as her flushed cheeks became even more apparent.

“Yes, it’s very nice,” Ye Wenxin replied, not holding back as she gently caressed the soft bun. Jin Xiaoqin’s breathing became more seductive. However, her expression seemed a bit off. Ye Wenxin teased a spot on the soft bun lightly, and Jin Xiaoqin almost let out a sound, prompting Ye Wenxin to quickly cover her mouth in a panic.
