Chapter 72: A Shizun Who Causes Misunderstandings

She had been pondering whether the other turning into such a twisted individual in the end was a result of her own failures in upbringing. Small and pure in childhood, yet growing up to become a master-assaulting unfilial disciple.

Ling Qingyue recalled those humiliating methods the other had subjected her to. Her expression visibly darkened. No matter how many times she revisited it, that time when she was toyed into such a shameful state by an unfilial disciple many years her junior… How could Ling Qingyue not harbor resentment in her heart?

“You may kill yourself…”

Ling Qingyue tossed a longsword at the other’s feet. Meng Li was completely baffled. First, she’d be raised and then killed. Then she’d be killed immediately. Now she was being told to commit suicide. Wasn’t there a single option among all these where she got to live?

“Uuu… Shizun, I don’t want to die. Wh-What wrong have I, your disciple, committed that warrants death?”

“You do not wish to die…?”

“Mm, mm, mm!!”

Ling Qingyue looked at the other’s small, delicate appearance. If she were to kill the other when she was this young, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and logically. Ling Qingyue had originally intended to wait for the disciple to make a mistake, then find a reason to eliminate her. But after thinking it over, she couldn’t come up with a justification for an immediate execution.

“Your Shizun was merely jesting with you. How could I bear to truly kill you…”

Ling Qingyue slowly crouched down, gently stroking the other’s head. This sudden tenderness made Meng Li stumble backward several steps, afraid that she was first offering gentleness, only to go crazy again next.

“Why are you so far away? Since you don’t wish to die, then you shall properly cultivate your mind and nature with me…”

“Oh, what’s this? Just cultivating my mind and nature? That’s easy to say, easy to say. As long as I don’t die, anything is fine~!”

Meng Li hadn’t expected Ling Qingyue to be so reasonable. Her heart couldn’t help but think that the other didn’t know about her rebirth. Yet even after enduring so much torment, she could still let her off. That made her seem like a rather good person.

Recalling all the things she had done in the game, Meng Li thought, if she were Ling Qingyue, the first thing she’d do upon being reborn would be to find herself before she was even born and kill her.

“I never thought she wouldn’t take to heart things like deceiving and destroying the ancestors, conning Senior Sister, sleeping with Shizun, killing fellow disciples, and raising the Devil Venerable~”

Meng Li cheered inwardly with delight. She was about to turn and leave, but suddenly spiritual power wrapped around her, directly pulling her back. Watching herself fly in reverse, Meng Li twisted around to look at Ling Qingyue behind her.

“Sh-Shizun! Didn’t you promise not to kill me?! Wh-Why is this happening again?!”

“What are you afraid of? I didn’t say I was bringing you over here to kill you…”

The scenery before Meng Li’s eyes seemed to shift as if teleporting. When she opened her eyes again, it was the dim cave abode. An empty, bare ice bed, plus a chair and tea table carved from stone. This setup was the epitome of poverty.

“Starting today, you shall stay here…”

“Sh-Shizun, this is where you live, isn’t it? What virtue or ability does your disciple possess to live together with Shizun?”

“What, do you disdain my humble abode for being too small…”

Ling Qingyue’s gaze drifted backward slightly, observing the other’s timid manner. Just a simple question was enough to frighten Meng Li half to death, terrified that an unsatisfactory answer would result in Ling Qingyue using her longsword to nail her to the wall as decoration.

“How could that be?! It’s just… I haven’t even reached the entry level in cultivation yet, and to be treated this way by Shizun…”

Meng Li glanced around the surroundings. Compared to the Grotto-Heaven that Situ Xue had constructed for her, this place was so stark and impoverished it didn’t even look fit for human habitation. Let alone a proper bed, just that one ice bed—she’d sat on it before and felt like it was freezing her backside off.

“If you do not wish to stay here, then you may leave…”

“Alright, alright, then Shizun, I’ll come back tomor—!”

“It’s just that the moment you open the door, you will be nailed to that tree outside…”

“Aiya, suddenly, the accommodations here feel quite wonderful! I don’t want to leave anymore~”

Meng Li’s foot, which had already taken a step out, urgently retracted. She hastily shuffled backward, returning. At this very moment, Meng Li truly wanted to cry but had no tears. But what could she do? She couldn’t beat the other. And this was her Shizun.

“Come here…”

“I… come over there?”

“Is there someone else in this cave…?”

Ling Qingyue sat on the edge of the ice bed. Meng Li hurriedly scampered over. She was about to ask what the other wanted when Ling Qingyue grabbed her wrist, and with a single pull, yanked her over and pinned her onto the bed.

“Wh-What are you doing?!”

Meng Li was shocked by this sudden move. She instantly assumed that Ling Qingyue’s condition for not killing her was making her serve in bed every night, becoming a plaything for Ling Qingyue’s nightly desires. Stuffed to the brim every night by her limitless spiritual power.

“Doing? Naturally, thoroughly developing you…”

Listening to her Shizun before her utter such suggestive words in that plain, expressionless manner, Meng Li was momentarily at a loss for how to respond. Developing? The word echoed in her mind. Could it be that kind of development she was thinking of?

“You are still far too small. You can’t even take in the tiniest strand of mine. If I don’t develop you and properly expand things, how could I possibly leave something within your body…”

“!!!!”

Meng Li, originally still harboring doubts, now felt her internal certainty solidify. She was absolutely about to be stuffed full by her Shizun. And it was going to be inside her. Meng Li felt her legs go weak. The price of survival was too heavy.

“Uuu… Shizun, I’m… I’m too small, you… please be gentle…”

“I know. All girls your age are small…”

Ling Qingyue lightly placed her hand on Meng Li’s lower abdomen. The moment Meng Li saw this, she panicked completely. This length was absolutely not something she could handle. Back in the game, she had at least been in an adult woman’s body. But now, with this mere loli body, how could she possibly be a match for it?

“But if it’s so long, I’ll definitely break if it enters!”

“If you break, then that just means your potential was only this much…”

Ling Qingyue’s calm eyes showed no trace of emotion. Meng Li hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate. Her first time—was she going to lose it here today? But if it was being forced upon her by such a beautiful Shizun, she didn’t have much to complain about either.

“Come on, Shizun! No need to pity me! No matter how painful it gets, I won’t cry out!”

“Hmph. I did underestimate you somewhat today. I didn’t expect you to have such backbone…”

Meng Li’s legs felt weak. After all, the comparison had been shocking when the other’s hand rested on her lower abdomen just now. What was about to happen—she probably wouldn’t even last a single round. Such a stimulating event, she estimated she’d pass out halfway through.

“I… I’m a first-timer. Shizun, can you go slower? After all, if I faint, I won’t know anything…”

“No. The process must be fast. Otherwise, expanding your Spiritual Sea will be interrupted halfway, and your pain will be suffered for nothing…”

“So that’s how it is, then… Wait… Expand what?”

“Your Spiritual Sea…”

“??!”
