Chapter 131: Spoiled
The strange expression on Yue Wu Xia’s face disappeared. Her gaze swept over. “What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied?”
“I am already very satisfied that you are willing to smile at me, Master. I just think that your smile… is a little strange,” Mingyan pinched his chin, wanting to laugh a little, but he couldn’t let himself. Wouldn’t that be disrespecting his master?
Yue Wu Xia’s face was clear and cold. “Since you are already satisfied, what else is there to say?”
“Ahem, strictly speaking, your expression just now was not a smile, but more like… how should I put it? More like you felt very helpless and just pulled a random expression,” Mingyan said quickly. How could that expression count? That wouldn’t do. It didn’t show his master’s charm at all.
Yue Wu Xia’s face was expressionless. “It’s good that you know.”
“…So you are planning to be perfunctory with me, Master?” hearing Yue Wu Xia say this, Mingyan took the initiative and asked.
“…” Seeing that Mingyan did not intend to let it go, Yue Wu Xia glanced at Mingyan. “So how can I satisfy you?”
“At least, you have to really smile, right, Master?” Mingyan smiled slightly. “Just smiling like me is fine. It’s not difficult.”
Yue Wu Xia stared at Mingyan for a while, the corners of her lips curving upwards slightly. But halfway up, they stopped again. A smile did appear, but why was this smile so creepy? It was more like a sneer. Paired with her cold gaze, it gave Mingyan the feeling that he was being targeted by something, making him feel a chill down his spine.
“This won’t do… Master, your expression needs to be more relaxed, more natural and gentle. Your eyes too. Don’t be… so cold,” Mingyan said quickly. Those who knew knew they were master and disciple. Those who didn’t would think Yue Wu Xia was hunting Mingyan down. Her gaze just now was as if she were looking at a dead person.
Yue Wu Xia’s brow furrowed slightly, seeming a little impatient. “You have so many requests.”
“If this is enough for you, Master, if this counts as a reward, then we can stop here,” hearing this, Mingyan didn’t mind and smiled slightly.
Hearing Mingyan’s words, Yue Wu Xia was silent for a while, then sighed deeply after a long while. “What do you want me to do?”
Mingyan secretly laughed in his heart. He knew his master wouldn’t just be perfunctory. If she would, then she wouldn’t be Yue Wu Xia. Yue Wu Xia understood Mingyan because she was his master, and Mingyan naturally also understood Yue Wu Xia because he was her disciple. He was very familiar with some of his master’s weaknesses.
Since his master had promised to give him a reward, she couldn’t possibly be perfunctory.
“Relax, Master. Don’t be so stiff in your facial expression,” Mingyan teased—or rather, instructed.
Yue Wu Xia’s face was calm, unmoved. She shook her head. “I’m already very relaxed.”
“…Then think of something that you feel very happy about,” Mingyan was speechless for a moment, then continued.
Yue Wu Xia tried to think about the things that usually made her happy. Her expression finally changed—Yue Wu Xia’s expression was obviously relaxed, and the feeling from her brows and eyes also relaxed a little.
But it was only a little…
This was still a world of difference from a smile, right? Mingyan was a little helpless.
Yue Wu Xia came back to her senses, seemed to have noticed Mingyan’s expression, and finally couldn’t help but say, “Forget it, forget it… let’s change the reward.”
Mingyan looked at Yue Wu Xia and said, “Master, we’ve changed it back and forth… why don’t you decide what the reward should be yourself?”
If Mingyan were to propose another reward, it might be pushing his luck. To not make his master angry, it was better to let her decide.
Hearing Mingyan push the decision of what reward to give to her, Yue Wu Xia’s brow furrowed again. But after all, she had indeed rejected the rewards Mingyan had proposed twice. If she let Mingyan propose again, and she rejected it again, it would be a bit unreasonable…
Yue Wu Xia closed her eyes and thought for a while, then opened them and said in a slightly helpless tone, “Then… I’ll allow you to sleep with me for one night…”
Hearing his master say this, Mingyan’s expression was indescribably complicated. After all this back and forth, it had come back to this. Wouldn’t it have been fine if his master had just agreed before?
But sometimes it was like this. If you wanted to open a window, you had to tear off the roof…
And at this time, it happened to be getting dark. Although they were both cultivators and didn’t need to sleep, to satisfy Mingyan, Yue Wu Xia still sacrificed her flying carpet and flew with him high into the sky. Then she laid down layers of barriers, surrounding them and creating a small space. This way, whatever they did inside, the outside could not see.
With the barrier laid down by Yue Wu Xia’s Saint-level strength, even another Saint in this world could not easily see through it, let alone others.
Then, Yue Wu Xia took out two pillows, gently lay down herself, and didn’t say a word, her back to Mingyan. But Mingyan knew that this was his master giving him a signal. He could go up.
Clearly, neither of them needed to sleep, but because Mingyan wanted to sleep with his master, Yue Wu Xia had deliberately rested. Her mentality must be a little helpless, but at the same time, she also doted on Mingyan and finally agreed.
Mingyan also lay down, took off the long boots on his feet, gently wrapped his arms around Yue Wu Xia’s slender waist, and pressed against her, letting the soles of her feet rest on the back of his, pressing tightly against her back. He then buried his head in her long, dark hair, greedily sucking in the faint fragrance from her body, a slightly morbid satisfaction in his heart.
Mingyan also didn’t know what kind of mentality he was in, which was why he liked being with his master so much…
Perhaps this wasn’t quite the way a normal disciple treated their master, but Mingyan was a little addicted to it.
My… feelings for Master, could they have already involved romantic love?
Do I have any bit of desire for Master?
Mingyan thought for a moment but was a little unsure. Because if he showed even a little bit of it, his master would probably decisively keep her distance from him.
His master had said that the reason she allowed Mingyan to be so close was precisely because she felt he had no improper thoughts in his heart. So, conversely, if he had improper thoughts…
Thinking of this, Mingyan couldn’t help but feel how he could have become like this, appearing so… greedy. From the beginning, he had only thought of Ning Feixuan. Later, he wanted both his senior sister and Huang Feiyan. And then there was the Temptress Sister. And now, did Mingyan really have that kind of greed for his master too?
Mingyan couldn’t show it. Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to hug his master like this in the future.
His master’s body was a little cool, and it was very refreshing to hold her in his arms…
“You are already an adult, and you already have your own fiancée. In the future, don’t say you want to sleep with me anymore.”
After a moment of silence, Yue Wu Xia spoke. Her tone was very calm, and it even sounded like there was a distant sense of distance. But hearing her words, Mingyan was stunned for a moment. “Master… don’t you want me to be so close to you?”
“Men and women should not be too intimate. We are master and disciple, so I can allow you to hug me like this. But in the future, after you get married, if you still hug me like this, what will it look like?” Yue Wu Xia said softly.
“But I like the feeling of being with you like this, Master,” Mingyan said. “Just hugging you like this makes me feel very satisfied. And, Feiyan won’t say anything.”
“Are you so sure?”
“Of course I’m sure. She is my fiancée. I know her better than anyone,” Mingyan said.
“Hmph, I think you are using her feelings for you to distort her perception, right?” Yue Wu Xia snorted coldly. “I haven’t even settled the score with you yet. On one hand, you confirm the marriage with the Huang family and are all lovey-dovey with Huang Feiyan. On the other hand, you are entangled with your senior sister. And, you also have that kind of relationship with Huang Junyi.”
Mingyan was shocked, but then he thought that his master had most likely been following him ever since he had left the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sacred Land. So he figured it out…
His master was probably curious about his attitude towards the Huang family, which was why she had followed him. It was also because of this that when Mingyan needed her, his master had appeared at the first moment.
Speaking of which, his master was still very concerned about him. But for her to know about Mingyan’s relationship with the Temptress Sister, this point was not so wonderful.
Mingyan coughed awkwardly a few times. “This…”
“If Huang Feiyan knew about your relationship with Huang Junyi, I’d like to see how you handle it…” Yue Wu Xia snorted coldly. “Your cultivation is not high, but your mind is quite flowery. You even dragged a half-step Human Gateway like Huang Junyi into the water.”
If it weren’t for the Temptress Sister wanting to grind a bit more, she might have already reached the Human Gateway Realm by now… Mingyan pouted. Of course, he couldn’t say this out loud. He couldn’t talk back to his master.
“I will handle it well…”
“Handle it? I’d like to see how you handle it. You didn’t tell your senior sister about Huang Junyi before, did you? A snake trying to swallow an elephant out of greed. You want this one and that one. Be careful you don’t end up with nothing,” Yue Wu Xia’s tone became heavier. After all, among the women Mingyan had harmed, one was also her personal disciple. And Yue Wu Xia was also very dissatisfied with his attitude. She had never liked fickle men. If Mingyan weren’t her disciple, she probably wouldn’t even look at him twice. But Mingyan was her disciple, and besides some aspects, this disciple made her very satisfied.
“You don’t have to worry about these things, Master,” Mingyan said softly.
Yue Wu Xia spat lightly. “On one hand, you’re so fickle. On the other hand, you’re like a child. Are you pretending in front of me?”
“What are you talking about, Master?” Mingyan’s heart skipped a beat. Before, he had a clear conscience, but now, Mingyan couldn’t.
Yue Wu Xia was silent for a while, and finally did not speak again, just lay quietly, letting Mingyan hold her slender waist.
