Chapter 0 86. Learning Bad Habits (Happy New Year)
Qin Gou’s breathing grew heavier. The exquisite beauty and bone structure of a generation’s Ancestor Ye were indeed captivating.
Thanks to the Stone Maiden Spiritual Physique, Qin Gou dared not imagine how terrifying the punishment of ‘losing a master’s dignity once’ would have become.
Perhaps he would have been forcefully made to play ‘capture the flag’ together?
“Had enough?” Qin Gou asked in a cold tone.
Ye Qishuang’s delicate body trembled. She no longer dared to lean on Qin Gou’s shoulder. In her heart, she wondered why she had been so reckless and presumptuous just now. But she did not regret it; in fact, she felt a sense of exhilaration.
Qin Gou sat on the edge of the bed, pointed to his thigh, and said lightly, “Do you still remember what to do?”
Ye Qishuang snorted, finding it somewhat amusing. “Master, I am a Dharma Aspect True Person!”
“Three.”
“I have a venomous heart and have killed countless people.”
“Two.”
“At my fingertips, the righteous and demonic paths of the world bow their heads…”
“One.”
Possessing the Dharma Image realm, a venomous heart, and the power to stir up trouble in the world with a wave of her hand, Ye Qishuang’s beautiful eyes were tightly shut with a blush. She obediently rested her head on Qin Gou’s thigh. “I’m not scared, this is just an unconscious action, a habit!”
“Slap!”
A crisp slapping sound echoed, causing a springy vibration. The soft fullness was most enjoyable to the touch.
Qin Gou looked at his own large hand with vexation. This wouldn’t do. The girls were growing up, and he really needed to figure out a new method of punishment. After all, the main purpose of punishment was education, not for him to feel extremely pleased.
“Do you know you were wrong?” Qin Gou asked furiously.
“I do not know.”
“Slap!”
“Ah, how can Master be so heartless? It hurts, Xiao Shuang’er!”
“You hurt my ass!” Qin Gou gritted his teeth and said, “I know that even a full-power strike from the Hidden Weapon Realm feels like a tickle to you, but you don’t need to look so happy, you little scamp! This is a punishment, do you understand? Show some respect!”
“Oh, I obey Master’s command. Let me gather myself.” Ye Qishuang immediately turned her face, her eyes seeming to invite and reject at the same time. Her small mouth parted slightly, and she deliberately panted like a puppy. “Master, don’t be so rough… Hehe, do you think this is okay?”
“Presumptuous!”
Qin Gou was so angry he was spitting fire. “I’m not hitting anymore. It’s too insulting.”
Ye Qishuang stood up with a smile.
Qin Gou said with deep regret, “What do you mean ‘learning bad habits’? This is what learning bad habits is. You weren’t like this before.”
“It used to really hurt back then, Xiao Shuang’er,” Ye Qishuang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Gou glared at her angrily. “Don’t get cocky. We’re not done with this yet.”
“Master… that kiss just now, it was Xiao Shuang’er’s first kiss. Please calm down,” Ye Qishuang added shyly, her charm intoxicating.
“Nonsense, who wasn’t it their first kiss?” Qin Gou retorted righteously. Being forcibly kissed by his disciple for the first time, referred to as ‘first kiss’, this should be common sense, right?
“Really?” For a moment, Ye Qishuang was astonished, her eyes showing seven parts apology and three parts joy.
“Finally, you know how rude you were? Have you considered how you’re going to make amends to me?” Qin Gou said earnestly and patiently.
Ye Qishuang broke into a smile. “Whatever Master wants me to do to make amends, I will do. As long as it’s something I can do, even this Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace, even the position of Palace Lord, I can give it all to Master. For me, this kiss was worth it.”
“You mischievous girl, can you stop bringing up that kiss already?”
Qin Gou’s old face turned red. He sighed with great reluctance. “This foolish girl always says nonsense. The position of Palace Lord? This is a vast empire you’ve built over many years through your own diligent efforts. How could I possibly accept it? I’m only afraid of chilling your filial piety, so let it be decided!”
“Ah?” Ye Qishuang said with shame. “Master, if you find it too difficult, I can try another way…”
“No!”
“I am very satisfied. My little Shuang’er is still so sensible and considerate. I really didn’t misjudge you.” Qin Gou immediately gave Ye Qishuang a thumbs-up as a reward.
…
Qin Gou returned to his cave dwelling, refreshed and in high spirits. He said with a smile, “Xiao Yan, look who’s back?”
Gu Feiyan’s brows were slightly furrowed. She looked Qin Gou up and down suspiciously and asked, “Are you really Qin Gou?”
Qin Gou shrugged. “One hundred times.”
“Palace Lord Ye knows about this now too.”
Gu Feiyan’s still wary demeanor amused Qin Gou. He slowly reached out and gently tapped her head three times, asking with a smile, “Do you believe me now?”
Gu Feiyan suddenly moved closer to Qin Gou, stopping less than an inch from his nose before lightly pecking him on the lips. She said angrily, “It’s good you didn’t dodge this time. Palace Lord Ye really startled me yesterday.”
Qin Gou chuckled dumbfoundedly. “If you had come one day later, such an awkward situation wouldn’t have happened. It was just too coincidental.”
Gu Feiyan stamped her foot in embarrassment and anger. “Is it wrong for me, this young lady, to want to see you as soon as possible?”
“No, it’s not wrong. I was just speaking carelessly.” Qin Gou understood Xiao Yan’s temperament. She wasn’t the type to be so easily angered. He immediately opened his arms with a smile.
Gu Feiyan snorted, her expression softening. She half-heartedly let Qin Gou embrace her.
Qin Gou gently held Gu Feiyan’s slender and soft waist and asked curiously, “Didn’t you say yesterday that there was something very important you wanted to tell me alone?”
Gu Feiyan nodded lightly, opened her mouth, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes. She hesitated, pondered for a moment, and finally chose to say it in a half-joking manner. “I… seem to be pregnant… Now, please welcome Qin Gou, who calls himself the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain, to give his acceptance speech.”
“Really?” Qin Gou’s eyes sparkled with ecstatic joy.
Seeing Qin Gou’s joy overflowing, Gu Feiyan finally relaxed. She also showed a delighted smile, nodding and beaming at each other. Her eyes were bright and crystalline, like countless stars, exceptionally captivating.
“That’s great!” Qin Gou exclaimed, waving his fist excitedly. “I, Qin Gou, have been a ‘stepfather’ to those six little rascals who only know how to cause trouble for so many years. Now, I’m finally going to be a real father! I swear I will raise our child well and make him a renowned hero of our generation… By the way, Xiao Yan, is our child a boy or a girl?”
