Chapter 42: Master, What Are You Doing?
Chapter 42: Master, What Are You Doing?
“Master, I’m starting the operation!”
“Disciple, slow down!”
“No! I need to use force! A lot of it!”
“You can’t just act recklessly like this!”
“I’ve already got a plan! I just need to be bold!”
Ye Shu picked up his brush with a mischievous glint in his eye and began writing with fervor. In just a few strokes, he had composed a series of wishes.
“Master, I want to wake up every morning and see your face!”
Luo Jiuyan read the words and instantly understood their meaning. You rebellious disciple, still thinking about such things!
“Master, I don’t know what your zodiac sign is, but I know you belong to me!”
At this point, Luo Jiuyan buried her face in her hands, cursing inwardly. How shameless! I am the Nine Nether Demoness, feared across realms, and you’re just a rebellious disciple. How dare you dream of possessing me?
The more she read, the more flustered she became.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Ridiculous!
Absolutely ridiculous!
Is this the kind of wish a respectful disciple should write for his master?
There’s not a shred of respect for the teacher-student relationship!
And to release such lanterns in public during the Lantern Festival…
Luo Jiuyan was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to slap Ye Shu to death!
But then she remembered that he was under the influence of his inner demons and that this wasn’t his true intention. So, she decided to forgive his absurd behavior.
“Release!”
After much effort, Ye Shu finally filled all the lanterns with his wishes.
With a flourish, he lit them and tossed them into the sky, sending a barrage of lanterns soaring upward like a thousand troops charging into battle, overwhelming the few scattered lanterns already in the sky.
“Where did all these come from?”
“Is he crazy? Releasing lanterns isn’t like releasing dogs. Does he have to go this hard?”
“Wow, so many bold wishes! This kid’s got skills!”
“Ugh… I want that too! I want so many lanterns!”
“Husband, quick, I want lanterns too! We can’t lose face!”
“Damn it, do you have to go this far?”
Ye Shu’s grand gesture left many women envious. Such a lavish display of lanterns completely overshadowed everyone else’s efforts.
The men, on the other hand, groaned in frustration. What the hell? Does this kid have to be so excessive? You’re leaving us no room to breathe!
Instantly, their indignation flared, and they wished they could beat Ye Shu to a pulp.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
At this moment, Ye Shu couldn’t care less about their feelings. He hooked his finger around Luo Jiuyan’s hand, urging her to enjoy the spectacle.
Above them, a romantic shower of lanterns filled the sky, while below, couples bickered and complained, creating a lively and chaotic scene.
Luo Jiuyan’s icy demeanor finally cracked, and a hint of a smile appeared beneath her veil. She couldn’t help but feel a secret joy.
Indeed, there was some truth to the appeal of those over-the-top romance novels. When the male lead extravagantly spends billions in public, it’s hard for the female lead not to be moved.
Just like now, with Ye Shu single-handedly dominating the scene, it was impossible for her not to feel pleased.
“Not bad.”
After a long pause, Luo Jiuyan finally responded.
Ye Shu knew his tsundere master well. When she said “not bad,” it actually meant “really good!”
Ye Shu understood perfectly.
The moment felt serene and beautiful.
With such a perfect scene and a beauty by his side, what more could he ask for?
Well, there was one thing.
“Yan’er, you promised me something.”
Ye Shu quickly switched to a more intimate tone, a meaningful smile spreading across his face, his eyes glinting with anticipation.
He hadn’t forgotten the promise she made after winning the flower ball. He was worried she might have forgotten.
“This…”
Luo Jiuyan hesitated for a moment, feeling the warmth in her heart. Then, her face flushed red. “Alright!”
“Great! That’s fantastic!” Ye Shu couldn’t help but grin, barely containing his excitement. He wanted to rush over, pin Luo Jiuyan to the ground, and indulge in a passionate frenzy.
But considering she was Luo Jiuyan, he knew he had to remain composed.
“Hmph!”
Luo Jiuyan let out a soft snort. Although she had agreed, she was still nervous. After all, she was his master, the Nine Nether Demoness. Was she really going to do that with him?
“Yan’er, I’m coming in!”
“Why are you so impatient!”
Luo Jiuyan watched as Ye Shu walked over, lifted her veil, and revealed her true face.
Then, he stepped closer until their faces were mere inches apart. He draped the veil over her head, creating a private space between them.
Staring at her flawless beauty, Ye Shu’s heart raced.
Her rosy complexion spread across her face, and her entire being radiated shyness. Under Ye Shu’s intense gaze, she averted her eyes, feeling utterly exposed.
“Maybe… we should think this through,” she whispered, her delicate eyes lowering, unable to meet his gaze.
Her warm breath brushed against Ye Shu’s face, like a gentle spring breeze, igniting the restlessness in his heart.
“No! You promised me, and I won’t let you back out now!”
“What are you… mmm!”
Ye Shu didn’t give her a chance to regret. He reached out, cupped her slender neck, and pressed his lips against hers. The soft, electric sensation of their kiss sent shivers through both of them. Her sweet, silky saliva felt like cotton candy, melting into him.
Her body went limp in that instant, and for a moment, she wanted to collapse into Ye Shu’s arms and lose herself in the passion.
“Mm!”
With a soft sound, Luo Jiuyan pushed Ye Shu away, her face burning with embarrassment. “I only said I’d kiss you! How could you do this!”
Ye Shu, still reeling from the kiss, licked his lips, savoring the taste. When he heard Luo Jiuyan’s words, he was stunned. “Huh? Didn’t you say we could… you know, after all those lanterns?”
“Nonsense!” Luo Jiuyan glared at him, her face red with anger. She had only agreed to give him a peck on the cheek as a reward, not a full-on kiss like this!
How did it escalate to this? She wanted to cry.
Her face was now as red as a monkey’s bottom, and her heart was racing so fast that she felt like she needed to kill someone to calm down.
“Master, don’t be angry. This was my first time, so think about it—you’re not at a loss here!” Ye Shu tried to comfort her, seeing how furious she was.
“First time?” Hearing this, Luo Jiuyan’s body trembled with rage. Wasn’t this her first time too? Did he think his first time was more precious than hers?
This shameless disciple! He deserved to die!
“Master, didn’t you enjoy it? Didn’t it make you happy? I don’t believe you didn’t!” Ye Shu pressed on.
“You! Such a rebellious disciple!”
Luo Jiuyan pointed at him, shouting angrily.
Then, she fell silent. She had to admit, there was a slight sense of pleasure in that moment.
But did that matter? No, it didn’t!
“Your inner demons are too severe! I need to cure you!” Luo Jiuyan’s eyes flashed with determination. She decided to teach this lustful disciple a lesson.
With that, she crouched down in front of Ye Shu.
“Master, what are you doing?!”
