Chapter 0
“Alright, don’t try to amuse me. I know your temperament, wench. While you wouldn’t go to extremes, you certainly didn’t give Tang and Shen any pleasantries before.”
Caught red-handed, Ye Qishuang had no choice but to confess: “This Palace was trying to prevent the mutated beasts infected with the Bone Crushing Curse in Sheng Hui Valley from causing widespread death among cultivators here, accumulating resentment, and harming the surrounding populace. So, I’ve been chasing and driving away the strongest mutated beasts. That’s why Mystic Maiden Palace arrived late. Therefore, I was thinking… could I ask for some reward from the Three Sects for this?”
“If that’s the case, based on my understanding of Tang Simin and Shen Zhen, they should be quite willing to pay a certain price.”
Ye Qishuang’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Exactly! We had a very pleasant conversation. Both of you are indeed from Prestigious Orthodox Sects, especially generous. From the start, they were very willing to accept Qishuang’s request! Qishuang was just worried you, Master, would misunderstand.”
“Generous? More like afraid not to be generous?” Qin Gou said with understanding.
Ye Qishuang’s sound transmission instantly trembled: “Master, I am too wicked, I am beyond saving, I am insane, I am guilty of all sins…”
“That’s not necessarily true.”
After speaking, Qin Gou didn’t wait for Ye Qishuang’s reply and couldn’t help but look up, only to find that this wench was actually smiling so sweetly on the spot. She had been waiting for this sentence from her Master!
Several Saintesses were also beside Ye Qishuang, seemingly conversing with her, but actually helping to cover for her.
Qin Gou immediately transmitted again: “Forget it, we’ll discuss this later. For now, pay attention. In front of the people from the Three Sects now, I am an External Incarnation of Qin Gou from Arc-Moon Mountain. However, I have already developed my own spiritual intelligence, and my temperament is completely different from my True Body, like two different people. Do not expose me.”
Qin Gou’s explanation was concise, but the intelligent and kind-hearted Ye Qishuang immediately replied: “This Palace understands, and would never dare to damage Master’s grand plan. I am even more willing to offer you A helping hand!”
After speaking, before Qin Gou could react, Ye Qishuang’s clear eyes flowed as she looked towards Qin Gou and said: “Is that you?”
Everyone present followed Ye Qishuang’s gaze, and their attention converged on Qin Gou.
“Master Qin!” Tang Simin’s eyes widened, and she called out with concern. The thing she and Shen Zhen feared most had happened.
“No harm done.” Qin Gou waved his hand casually, telling everyone to rest assured.
Although he didn’t know what Qishuang Wench was planning, she wouldn’t harm him.
Immediately after, a delighted cry filled with joy was heard. Ye Qishuang took two steps at once and strode towards Qin Gou.
“Second Master!”
*Cough!*
Qin Gou almost choked to death.
With just a look, Ye Qishuang parted the crowd with ease. Tears of excitement and deep affection welled up in her eyes, and she said emotionally: “It’s finally good to see you again. In the past, Second Master was the best to me, completely different from that person’s strict and cold attitude!”
So this was Qishuang Wench’s idea. It was quite interesting.
Qin Gou immediately smiled slightly and went along with it, saying: “Long time no see, Palace Lord Ye. Have you been well?” As he spoke, Qin Gou extended his hand, wanting to hold Ye Qishuang’s.
Unexpectedly, without any hesitation, this wench took advantage of the chaos and threw herself into Qin Gou’s arms, resting her head on his shoulder with a smile in her beautiful eyes: “Everything has been well, I just often miss the days when Second Master personally took care of and accompanied me.”
For a moment, Tang Simin, Shen Zhen, and the others suddenly realized. So, as an external incarnation of the Demon Master, Master Qin had a connection with Ye Qishuang long before he made a name for himself. Not only that, but they got along well and had deep feelings. In fact, compared to the Demon Master, Ye Qishuang was even more respectful towards Master Qin.
Qin Gou smiled warmly and said: “Me too. Whether it was back then or now, Palace Lord Ye has never treated me as a puppet under someone’s control.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qishuang slowly raised her head and reached out to caress Qin Gou’s face, gazing at him affectionately: “Because you are inherently different from him, and I truly hate that person. If not for his restrictions, how could your cultivation still only be at the Li Lijiuzhi Realm?”
While speaking, Ye Qishuang’s small hand naturally slid down from Qin Gou’s face and pressed against his chest… If everything before was to help Qin Gou flesh out his persona as much as possible, then the movement of her hand now was simply Qishuang Wench wanting to take pleasure at his expense.
However, her expression and words were too perfect, like a junior filled with filial affection, without any flaws.
But others didn’t know. Qin Gou, as the person involved, had his smile freeze. This was because the little hand she placed on his chest, though seemingly light, had one finger deliberately pressing down on a certain spot and subtly provoking with a thread of spiritual power, allowing Qin Gou to once again feel this wench’s commendable spirit of being absolutely unafraid of being beaten and persistently taking advantage of others.
She seemed to have guessed correctly that Qin Gou, in front of so many people, certainly wouldn’t make a scene. He would then slip away, and only appear again after Qin Gou’s anger had mostly subsided. At most, he would have to… honestly endure a beating! After weighing it in her mind, it was quite worth it!
However, she didn’t know…
Qin Gou gritted his teeth in anger. The finger wearing the ‘Celestial Master’s Love’ ring moved abruptly.
Ye Qishuang suddenly felt as if struck by lightning. Her alluring and graceful body trembled violently, and her clear, spiritual eyes became even more moist.
“This is bad.”
As soon as he acted, Qin Gou deeply regretted it in his heart. This ‘Celestial Master’s Love’ ring was called ‘the artifact for Ye Qishuang’ by the system. It ignored her Dharma Aspect Realm and was tailor-made for Qishuang Wench. Even when Qin Gou occasionally used it on others, the force was not to be underestimated. Now, facing the true master, the pain she felt was likely several times greater than what others would experience!
That kind of pain was unimaginable!
Although Qishuang Wench was being a bit mischievous and unruly at the moment, in Qin Gou’s eyes, she was still a child! She was just a nearly hundred-pound little life! She shouldn’t have to suffer so much. He had truly been careless for a moment.
However, while Qin Gou’s thoughts were racing, Ye Qishuang suddenly let out a soft hum, so faint that only the two of them could hear it, yet it was extremely enchanting and captivating: “Mmm~”
Qin Gou: “???”
He sharply looked at her beautiful face, which was as lovely as the autumn moon, and found that her expression had indeed changed slightly. It seemed her body was experiencing some abnormality, but it was by no means the suffering of great pain. Instead, she looked like a child who had received her favorite candy, with a gentle, obedient, and delighted expression of submission.
After all this trouble, the ‘Celestial Master’s Love’ ring would bring Ye Qishuang immense pain. Was that just his own wild guess? Perhaps its actual effect wasn’t like that?
“System, did you fool me again? Didn’t you say before…”
“Ding. Celestial Master’s Love, no leniency. It bestows upon Ye Qishuang the most beloved Master’s Palm, disregarding the difference in strength. This was the system’s initial explanation to the Host.”
“That’s right, so why is she…”
“Ding. Question: Does the Host fall in love with pain?”
“Nonsense, I’m not Little White Dragon.”
“Ding! Then why do you wishfully think that Ye Qishuang’s ‘most beloved’ Master’s Palm would necessarily bring her pain? Can your hands only be used to hit people in this lifetime?!”
