Chapter 43: Master is Satisfied
Chapter 43: Master is Satisfied
“They say that all evil spirits and desires are driven by it. If it’s cut off, one will surely become pure-hearted and free from worldly attachments!”
Luo Jiuyan stared intently, a meaningful smile spreading across her face.
Seeing this smile, Ye Shu was terrified and immediately covered himself. “Master! I was wrong!”
“Wrong about what?” Luo Jiuyan glared at him, her hand shaped like a knife, as if ready to slice him.
“Wrong about…” Ye Shu hesitated, racking his brain, only to realize that he hadn’t actually done anything wrong!
You were the one who said you’d reward me with a kiss. How was I supposed to know what kind of kiss you meant? When I kissed you, you said it was wrong. Isn’t this your fault? Ye Shu complained inwardly.
But he couldn’t say that out loud. Under Luo Jiuyan’s murderous gaze, Ye Shu took a deep breath and said loudly, “Master, the mistake was… you’re just too beautiful!”
Ye Shu’s face turned red, and he closed his eyes, unable to look at Luo Jiuyan. Even he couldn’t bear how cheesy that line was.
“You!”
Luo Jiuyan clenched her delicate fist, raising it as if she wanted to smash his head open.
But after a long pause, her hand wavered slightly, as if his words had stirred something within her, and she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Her face flushed so red that it was impossible to tell what she was feeling. Instead, she seemed to adopt a shy, girlish demeanor, her feet fidgeting awkwardly.
“Don’t let it happen again!”
Finally, Luo Jiuyan seemed to forgive Ye Shu’s misdeed.
Only then did Ye Shu dare to open his eyes and look at the stunning beauty before him.
Don’t let it happen again? No, I’ll definitely do it again!
His master, with her tendency to say one thing and mean another, remained the same even as a demonic overlord. Ye Shu firmly believed this.
“Let’s go back.”
The lanterns floated into the sky, destined for who knows where. Perhaps they would reach the hands of immortals, bringing blessings, or maybe they would drift into the deep mountains, igniting a raging fire that would destroy all life…
But after everything they had experienced that night, both of them were tired, and it was getting late.
They prepared to return home.
Wrapped in Luo Jiuyan’s spiritual energy, they transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky.
Meanwhile, on a high platform in Luoyang City, a burly man sighed in relief. “Thank goodness, my idol didn’t lose her temper. If she had truly gotten angry, my little empire wouldn’t have been enough to handle the fallout.”
The man was none other than City Lord Liu Dachun. Although he didn’t dare to monitor the two, he could recognize Luo Jiuyan’s figure from the streak of light in the sky. Seeing them leave, he finally felt at ease.
“City Lord, who are they? Why would you rather offend Hu Ling’s direct disciple than them?” someone beside him asked in confusion.
Hu Ling was the sect master of one of the top ten sects, the Joyful Union Sect. Her status was so high that she could easily crush Luoyang City. Yet, the City Lord had disregarded her disciple’s identity and sided with the mysterious pair, whose mere presence seemed to command the night, which was puzzling.
“Hu Ling’s disciple? Even if Hu Ling herself came here, she would have to bow respectfully and call her ‘Senior Sister!'” Liu Dachun spat on the ground, his tone full of disdain.
“What?!”
The person beside him turned pale, gradually realizing the truth. “City Lord, are you saying that it’s her… Luo…”
“Some things are better left unsaid. Don’t let that great one hear you.”
Before he could finish, Liu Dachun glared at him.
If Luo Jiuyan heard someone casually mentioning her name, it would be a death sentence.
“I can’t believe it’s really her!”
The man was instantly drenched in cold sweat, his legs giving out as he knelt on the ground. He kowtowed repeatedly toward the departing streak of light. “This lowly one was blind! Please forgive me, Nine Nether Demon Empress…”
“Also, send a letter to the Joyful Union Sect, addressed to Hu Ling. Make it clear that it’s not that I refused to help her!”
Liu Dachun suddenly remembered something and instructed his subordinate.
Meanwhile, a disheveled figure was making her way through the night, heading in the direction of the Joyful Union Sect. Blood dripped from her mouth, and her face was deathly pale, as if she’d barely escaped a clash.
“Just wait until I return and tell my master. You two dogs, no matter where you hide, you won’t escape!”
Zhang Hongyan howled at the sky, her voice filled with rage.
The humiliation she had suffered that night had left her heartbroken and furious. She was determined to uncover the identities of those two and exact revenge!
…
Back at the Heavenly Fiend Sect, the two finally returned, quietly arriving at the main hall.
“Master, were you satisfied with tonight?”
Just as they were about to part, Ye Shu suddenly asked this question.
Hearing this, Luo Jiuyan broke out in a cold sweat.
She turned to look at Ye Shu’s sincere face. She had intended to say it was just average, but upon reflection, the night had been quite interesting.
Especially during the lantern release, the delightful lanterns and those shameless words had been both surprising and thrilling.
“Satisfied!” After saying this, her body trembled with a mix of pride and unease, and she bit her red lip. The answer was too embarrassing.
Satisfied?
Did that mean she was also satisfied with the kiss?
How mortifying!
Thinking of this, Luo Jiuyan suddenly slapped her hand out.
A fierce gust of wind blasted toward Ye Shu. Despite being at the Golden Core stage, Ye Shu was like an ant before her strength.
The wind sent him flying.
With a thud!
He landed butt-first in the snow outside the door, creating a deep pit.
“She said she was satisfied, so why did she treat me like this?”
Ye Shu was baffled, scratching his head as he pulled himself out of the snow and brushed off the snow from his butt.
He sighed like an old man.
All in all, tonight had been full of unexpected joys.
He had learned that Luo Jiuyan had a sweet tooth, and he had even stolen a kiss!
Thinking of that enchanting, blissful feeling, Ye Shu felt like he was floating on air. He had never been so exhilarated!
In a way, he had to thank that woman from the Joyful Union Sect. If it weren’t for her creating the opportunity, he wouldn’t have had such a perfect chance to do… that!
Lost in thought, Ye Shu made his way back, descending from the peak of Heavenly Fiend Mountain toward the disciple quarters.
As he passed through the bamboo forest near his home, he saw a familiar white figure at his doorstep.
She was crouched on the ground, staring in the direction where Ye Shu and Luo Jiuyan had left, lost in thought.
She muttered, “It’s so late. Maybe Junior Brother Ye isn’t coming back.”
“Forget it, I’ll see him tomorrow.”
Having said this, she seemed to give up.
She stood up, ready to leave.
But then, in the bamboo forest, she saw someone slowly approaching her.
“Senior Sister Bai, it’s so late. What are you doing here? Is there something you need from me?” Ye Shu was surprised.
Why was Bai Rourou waiting at his doorstep so late at night? What was she up to?
Did she have something important to say?
“Uh…”
Bai Rourou stumbled, her heart racing uncontrollably when she saw Ye Shu. She almost fell.
She steadied herself, trying to act normal.
But her mouth still trembled like a wavy line as she awkwardly said, “It’s nothing. I just had nothing to do tonight and wandered here to see if you were back.”
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Ye Shu that she had been waiting at his doorstep without leaving since the moment he had left!
