Chapter Nineteen: Holy Lord! Do Not Crawl Out from Under My Covers!-Ao Receber Discípulos, Retorno Dez Mil Vezes — Imperatriz, Pare de Bajular seu Mestre.(médico)

After receiving Xiao Chenxin’s explanation, Mu Su suddenly raised her head.

"So, the reason you, Great-Uncle Master, don't hold grudges against them is simply to see through the vanity of the mundane world?"

Xiao Chenxin nodded firmly, showing no sign of insincerity.

"Yes."

After pondering for a long time, Mu Su looked up again.

"Great-Uncle Master, could you be my 'guide'? That way, I could stay at Red Dust Peak and listen to your teachings."

At this moment, Xiao Chenxin had not yet sensed anything amiss and continued to fiddle with his fishing rod.

"If I were to become your 'guide,' the Holy Master would be furious. Who goes around poaching talent so brazenly? I'll give you some pointers when I have time; that’s practically the same as being your mentor."

Xiao Chenxin spoke calmly, once again placing himself in a humble position. This was necessary. His competitor was Ye Chen, the Son of Destiny—a person capable of carrying someone from the lowest, most helpless depths all the way to the pinnacle of the world. Staying low-key and acting as a mastermind behind the scenes, manipulating the situation from the shadows, was the best way to ensure his own safety. Standing in opposition to the Son of Destiny was far too perilous, especially now that he possessed a "Path to Death." Meng Yao was the reincarnation of a Great Emperor and was bound to become a powerhouse once trained, and Mu Susu, as the Saintess of the Yaoguang Holy Land, certainly had immense talent.

...

While Xiao Chenxin was deep in thought, Mu Susu suddenly turned her gaze toward the fishing line. It looked abnormal; it wasn't hanging straight down but was instead twisted and tangled. Upon closer inspection, she realized there was no hook at the end of the line.

Seeing this, Mu Susu asked in confusion, "Great-Uncle Master, what exactly are you fishing for?"

Xiao Chenxin flicked a trace of spiritual energy from his fingers. His Innate Immaculate Supreme Holy Body granted him incredible control, and this wisp of energy traveled down the rod and line, reaching beneath the water's surface. Once infused with his energy, the line seemed to come alive, swiftly binding a passing fish before Xiao Chenxin hauled it out of the pond.

"The unseen danger is the most dangerous kind. Your cultivation techniques are fine, but just like this tangled line, you lack that sudden flash of enlightenment."

Before Mu Susu could follow up, a wave of heat surged from her dantian, instantly spreading through her limbs and bones. Guided by this heat, she quickly memorized the trajectory of its circulation. By the time she finished a full cycle and opened her eyes, it was already late at night.

Mu Susu stared blankly in the direction where Xiao Chenxin had departed, then slowly opened her palm. As she moved, the dried "black impurities" on her skin flaked away. A brilliant, radiant Golden Core shimmered in her palm.

It was overflowing with light. Just one cycle of circulation had allowed her to step into the Golden Core Realm! She stared at the core in her hand, dazed.

"Great-Uncle Master..."

She sat there for a long while. As she finally stood up, she realized that her shoulder strap had slipped down and remained there. The exposed half of her bosom was incredibly alluring. Her face instantly turned a deep, scorching red.

"Great-Uncle Master... he wouldn't mind, would he?"

...

On the main peak of Red Dust Peak, Xiao Chenxin sat casually on his bed. Before him hung a light screen, showing the first-person perspective of Ling Hu. Xiao Chenxin had indeed kept his word and removed most of the restrictions on Ling Hu, but only most of them. For instance, this inconspicuous beacon restriction allowed him to view what Ling Hu saw at any time. If he wanted, he could even change the angle to admire Ling Hu bathing. But that wasn't important!

At this moment, Ling Hu had arrived at the Beast Forest. Ye Chen had the ring she had left behind, so she could find him quickly. By his calculations, they should be meeting soon.

"You lowly beast, how dare you roar in front of me! Today, I’ll pull out those teeth of yours!"

Ye Chen's voice came through the screen. Xiao Chenxin immediately shifted the perspective higher to observe the overall situation.

"Ye Chen!" Ling Hu suddenly rushed out of the woods.

She saw Ye Chen standing in front of Lin'er, his long sword whistling through the air as he forced back the three ferocious beasts before him! Ling Hu flicked her finger, sending several streaks of spiritual energy flying to instantly slay the three beasts. She then hurried to Ye Chen's side, stopping five steps away.

"Ye Chen, it's me, Ling Hu."

Ye Chen turned to look at her and pinched his own cheek hard. It hurt! It wasn't a hallucination! He hurried to her and looked her over carefully.

"Master, you escaped? Did Xiao Chenxin do anything to you? Is this physical body suitable? Can it withstand your bloodline power?"

Ling Hu's eyes were filled with joy. Everything was fake. Ye Chen hadn't changed; he was still the same Ye Chen! She had been overthinking it! She reached out and grabbed his hand, savoring the warmth.

"Xiao Chenxin is actually quite kind. He helped me reshape my body. It might sound silly, but I misunderstood that you didn't want to see me anymore, and I cried so much... But let's not talk about that. I took leave to come out, and seeing that you are safe is enough. Ye Chen, wait for me. Once I finish my studies at the Yaoguang Holy Land, I can leave and stay by your side forever."

Ye Chen gripped Ling Hu’s hand, gazing at his incredibly beautiful master. It was just as the people in Zhenyue City said—to see such a beauty in this lifetime was worth it. When she was just a spirit, she had been pale and ethereal, but he hadn't expected her to be so alluring after regaining her body. Just by lowering her eyes, she exuded a natural, soulful charm.

They chatted about the trivialities of their days apart as if no one else were around. Xiao Chenxin, meanwhile, took a handful of melon seeds from his storage ring to snack on while he watched the show.

Suddenly, a head poked out from under his quilt, a hand reaching out. "I want some too."

Xiao Chenxin jumped, looking left and right in a panic. Thankfully, Red Dust Peak was desolate, and there was no one around! If outsiders saw this, what would they think? That the Great-Uncle Master of Yaoguang Holy Land was behaving indecently, letting the Holy Master share his bed?

"Su Yao, get out of here. Don't you know that men and women should keep their distance?"

Su Yao was completely unafraid, hugging Xiao Chenxin's arm as if it were a pillow and snatching the seeds from his palm. "Great-Uncle Master wouldn't do anything to me, so I'm not worried. By the way, Great-Uncle Master, our plan seems to have failed. They aren't affected in the slightest; they’re chatting so happily."

Xiao Chenxin gave her head a light tap. "It's only because my Red Dust Peak is empty; otherwise, I’d have kicked you out already. You're so young, yet you don't learn manners—crawling into a man's bed, aren't you ashamed?"

Su Yao wasn't the least bit submissive, humming softly, "I'm not ashamed! Hmph!"
