In front of the Heavenly Dao Hall, Leng Yanran repeatedly unleashed her strongest Demonic Heaven Finger technique at her master with all her might. Yet, each strike was effortlessly neutralized by Chen Daoxuan with a casual wave of his hand.
After blocking each of her attacks, Chen Daoxuan would calmly point out the flaws in her execution, offering precise guidance on how to improve.
Leng Yanran committed every word to memory, and her Demonic Heaven Finger grew increasingly powerful and imposing.
However, despite the significant expansion of her Sea of Qi after cultivating the Chaos Celestial Demon Art—to nearly a hundred times its original size—it wasn't enough to sustain such high-intensity usage.
After nearly a hundred attempts at the Demonic Heaven Finger, Leng Yanran was drenched in fragrant sweat, and her Sea of Qi was left with only a trace of energy.
Still, since her master had not called for a break, she refused to stop. How could she squander such a rare opportunity to receive personal guidance from her master?
Clenching her teeth, she drew the last remnants of her spiritual energy into her fingertips, determined to unleash one final strike of the Demonic Heaven Finger!
But she underestimated the technique's immense energy drain. That last sliver of spiritual energy was far from sufficient.
Before she could complete the move, her energy was entirely depleted, even dipping slightly into her reserves. Her body weakened instantly, and she stumbled forward, on the verge of collapse.
Filled with shame, Leng Yanran closed her eyes, unwilling to see the disappointment on her master's face as she fell in such a pitiful state.
But the expected pain of hitting the ground never came. Instead, she felt herself enveloped in warmth—a secure and comforting sensation—and a faint, intoxicating fragrance.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. As she suspected, she was cradled in her master's arms.
"Master... your disciple is so useless," Leng Yanran murmured softly. Whether from embarrassment or another reason, she buried her face deep into her master's chest, listening to the steady, powerful rhythm of his heartbeat.
"The Demonic Heaven Finger is incredibly demanding. The fact that you managed to use it over seventy times is already quite remarkable," Chen Daoxuan reassured her calmly.
"In your current realm, this technique is sufficient to overwhelm any opponent. Seventy strikes would be enough to vanquish seventy cultivators at the Profound Sky Realm. You've done very well, so don't dwell on it."
He glanced down at the delicate figure in his arms. Only then did he realize the intimate position they were in, and a wave of heat surged through him. However, remembering that this was his disciple, Chen Daoxuan quickly suppressed any improper thoughts.
Even so, a faint sense of unease lingered within him.
Noticing Leng Yanran's completely depleted spiritual energy and the immense strain her repeated use of the Demonic Heaven Finger had placed on her body, Chen Daoxuan saw that she could barely stand.
Without hesitation, he wrapped one arm around her waist and the other beneath her legs, lifting her effortlessly into his embrace. He began walking toward the grand hall.
"Ah..."
Leng Yanran let out a soft gasp as her master unexpectedly swept her off her feet. Instinctively, her arms wrapped around his neck, and she lowered her head, too shy to speak.
Where was her master taking her?
If this was what her master wanted, Yanran... was willing.
But If she's too forward, will Master think she's not reserved?
Leng Yanran's nose twitched slightly, catching the faint, pleasant fragrance from her master. Her thoughts drifted far away, her face growing increasingly flushed. Finally, she buried her head into her master's chest, afraid he might notice anything amiss.
Chen Daoxuan carried her steadily into the grand hall and entered the room she had chosen. With a mere thought, the door opened automatically, and he walked to the bed without hesitation.
Leng Yanran's heart raced faster and faster, her head beginning to feel dizzy from the overwhelming tension.
"Master... Yanran is willing to serve you..."
Perhaps it was the combination of her rapid heartbeat and dizziness, but she mumbled her innermost thoughts almost involuntarily.
As soon as the words left her lips, Leng Yanran froze. She wished she could slap herself—what had she just said? If her master wasn't thinking in that direction, wouldn't this be utterly mortifying?
At the same time, a nervous anticipation gripped her. How would her master respond?
Chen Daoxuan, for his part, had not expected such a sudden declaration.
After pausing for a moment, he gently placed her on the bed.
"Your body has been overexerted, and your spiritual energy completely drained. Do you really still have the strength to serve your master?"
"Lie down properly. I'll take this opportunity to help you clear your meridians and remove any lingering hidden injuries from before you reached the Void SkyRealm."
Chen Daoxuan let out a wry smile. What on earth was his disciple thinking? She was already too weak to stand and still spoke of serving him. Did she intend to brew tea or massage his shoulders in such a state?
Very well, today the master would serve the disciple.
He resolved to help her stretch her meridians properly and eliminate the residual injuries she had accumulated before reaching her current level.
Hearing her master's words and realizing her intentions had been misinterpreted, Leng Yanran blushed furiously and wished she could bury herself alive.
She, who had been courted by countless geniuses and even coveted by powerful elders, had finally revealed her feelings to a man for the first time—only to be rejected.
But it seemed her master had misunderstood something?
Despite the turmoil in her heart, Leng Yanran obediently followed her master's instructions, rolling over and lying flat on the bed. A flicker of curiosity emerged: how exactly would her master clear her meridians?
Chen Daoxuan gazed at his disciple lying on the bed. Her graceful figure was both lithe and alluring, and he couldn't help but gulp.
Repeatedly, he reminded himself: She is your disciple. She is your disciple. This is purely for clearing her meridians. Don't overthink it... don't overthink it.
Only after a few moments did he manage to suppress the restless thoughts bubbling within him.
He sighed inwardly: No wonder she possesses an innate charm from cultivating the Chaos Celestial Demon Art. Even without practicing seductive techniques, her allure is this potent.
If I find it difficult to maintain composure, how would others resist?
It seemed he needed to equip his disciple with more self-defense tools in the future, lest she attract ill-intentioned individuals.
Without further delay, Chen Daoxuan gestured toward the Spirit Pool Hall. A sphere of spirit liquid floated into the room, suspended midair without spilling a drop.
Then, with another motion, he summoned a twig about the length of a forearm, still bearing a few leaves. With a thought, the twig and leaves disintegrated into fine particles and blended into the spirit liquid.
"Oh, take out a Bone-Cleansing Pill for me," he said.
Originally, Chen Daoxuan had intended to retrieve the pill himself. But remembering the peculiar location where his disciple stored her belongings, he hesitated and chose to ask her instead.
Leng Yanran retrieved a jade bottle from the silk lining of her chest and placed it on the bedside table before burying her face deeply into the bedding.
This is so embarrassing!
