Chapter 39 Don't bite!
Li Muyu said in a low voice.
"take it easy……"
Gu Qingxue tilted her head: "Who are you talking to?"
"It's nothing," Li Muyu said without changing his expression. "Ji Yudie had something to do and just returned to Jade Maiden Peak."
When Gu Qingxue heard that Ji Yudie was not there, her pretty face seemed to relax, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked to Li Muyu's side, took out a sachet from her bosom. The embroidery was crooked and uneven, but one could vaguely make out that it was a mandarin duck.
"For me?"
Gu Qingxue seemed a little embarrassed.
She was not good at needlework, and although Ji Yudie gave her careful guidance, the finished product was still unsightly. That's why she deliberately took it out when Ji Yudie was not around.
Li Muyu looked at the crooked stitches: "So, Senior Sister... has been busy with this all this time?"
The senior sister thought he was annoyed by her clumsiness and blushed as she explained.
"This is my first time doing crafts... I'm a bit rusty."
Seeing her like this, Li Muyu suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
The person under the table also became noticeably more nervous.
"I like it very much," he said gently.
Hearing the confirmation, Gu Qingxue finally felt relieved.
Seeing that she was still standing there, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't, Li Muyu sighed inwardly.
Normally, he would have taken the opportunity to gain some advantage, but at this moment he dared not make any rash moves.
"What kind of reward would you like, senior sister?"
Gu Qingxue's cheeks flushed, her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Kiss, kiss..."
Seeing her delicate and timid appearance, Li Muyu couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
Ji Yudie, who was under the table, stiffened and almost coughed.
It was rare for his senior sister to muster up the courage, so Li Muyu couldn't bear to refuse and immediately reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.
Although they had kissed several times, Gu Qingxue was still too shy to speak and closed her eyes early on.
Li Muyu lowered his head and gently kissed her.
Ji Yudie looked up at the two of them, her eyes widening slightly, clearly not expecting to encounter such a situation.
I want to leave, but I can't.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
Gu Qingxue gazed at him intently, her eyes glistening with tears.
"One more kiss..."
Li Muyu raised his hand and gently stroked the tip of her nose: "Okay, your lips will swell up if you kiss them again."
"Oh right, Master asked me to bring some pastries over, but I left them in my room."
Suddenly remembering something, the senior sister got up from his arms and wanted to return to Nainai Peak.
Once the footsteps had faded away, Ji Yudie crawled out from under the table, wiped her lips, and walked out with a flushed face.
Just as he stepped out of the Enforcement Hall, he bumped into Gu Qingxue, who was turning back.
"When did you arrive?" Gu Qingxue asked.
With a thud.
Ji Yudie seemed to swallow something, and hurriedly said, "I...I just got here..."
Gu Qingxue looked at her: "What did you eat?"
Ji Yudie waved her hand: "N-nothing..."
Her ears turned bright red, and she left in a hurry.
Zheyun Mountain
Jade Void Palace
Xue Baining leaned against the main seat, with Xie Chenghuan standing beside her.
Inside the hall were three other figures, their auras deep and their imposing presence palpable. They were the other three palace masters of the Demonic Sect, and the atmosphere was as still as ice.
"The three palace masters have come to visit my Jade Void Palace together," Xue Baining said, lightly tapping the armrest with her fingertips. "What brings you here?"
The Palace Master of Blood River Palace said in a deep voice, "We heard that Palace Master Xue is unwell, so we have come to visit her."
The four palaces of the Demonic Sect have always been at odds, engaging in open and covert struggles for many years. It wasn't until Xue Baining emerged out of nowhere and subdued everyone with her powerful cultivation that the other three palaces, though they all revered her, were unwilling to remain subordinate to her for long, as they were all Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm.
Xue Baining knew in her heart that the news of her battle with Pei Yourong at the Southern Immortal Sect that day must have leaked, and these people had come to test her strength.
Xue Baining chuckled lightly: "No need for you all to worry, I am perfectly fine."
The Palace Master of the White Bone Palace replied, "I meant well, Palace Master Xue, please don't stand on ceremony."
"Oh?" Xue Bai raised his eyes.
A powerful pressure suddenly unfolded, as deep and imposing as a mountain, and roared into the entire hall!
The other three palace masters, all of whom were at the Celestial Realm, swayed slightly under this pressure, their knees buckled, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
"Have I been too smiling at you lately..." Xue Bai Ning slowly rose, her red dress trailing on the ground, her voice icy. "Or are you all getting senile and need me to... help you remember?"
Sensing this terrifying aura, how could he possibly look like someone burned by karmic fire and whose cultivation had been damaged? He was clearly even stronger than before!
The three exchanged a glance, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, and bowed in unison.
"It was a misunderstanding on our part."
Xue Baining gave a soft snort and withdrew her oppressive aura.
The people inside the hall were finally able to catch their breath.
The Palace Master of the Netherworld Palace quickly offered his flattery: "It's been many days. Palace Master Xue's cultivation has improved even further. I suppose..."
"If there's nothing else, I won't keep you any longer," Xue Baining interrupted him and sat down again.
The three exchanged glances.
The Palace Master of the White Bone Palace stepped forward: "To be honest, Palace Master Xue, we have come here for another reason."
"The sect leader of the Southern Immortal Sect has gone into seclusion and is likely nearing the end of his life."
Now, only Pei Yourong and the sect-protecting elder remain as two Grandmasters. How can they possibly safeguard that secret treasure?
"The sect competition is just around the corner. We plan to take this opportunity to coordinate with our informants within the Southern Immortal Sect. What does Master Xue think?"
Xue Bai's gaze flickered slightly.
As one of the five major sects in the world, the Southern Immortal Sect does have a rich heritage. Now that its power is waning, it is not surprising that it has been targeted.
She said calmly.
"I have no interest. Do as you please."
He paused, then added.
"But there's one person you're not allowed to touch."
……
After leaving Jade Void Palace, the three palace masters flew through the air, their faces all grim.
The Blood River Palace Master whispered, "Old Bai, didn't you say that female demon's cultivation was damaged? How come she's still so fierce!"
The Palace Master of White Bone Palace frowned: "My informant in the Southern Immortal Sect witnessed firsthand that there were indeed problems when she fought Pei Yourong. Could it be that she was deliberately feigning weakness?"
"Who knows what she's thinking?"
……
The hall returned to silence.
Xue Baining's face suddenly turned pale, and her fingertips trembled slightly. She had just used her cultivation to suppress the attack, and the karmic fire in her body almost backfired.
"Master!" Xie Chenghuan rushed forward.
Xue Baining circulated her internal energy to regulate her breathing.
"It's alright."
"These old bastards are still ambitious. If I don't show my strength today, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress them."
"Fortunately, my cultivation has recovered considerably in recent days..."
Xie Chenghuan said.
"But if this continues, it will be discovered sooner or later."
A resolute glint flashed in Xue Baining's beautiful eyes.
"It seems we need to speed up the desensitization training."
Nanai Peak
attic
Li Muyu sat cross-legged in meditation, his body radiating a golden aura.
On the small couch, in addition to the two dolls from before, a new silicone puppet has been added.
It's worth the 500 Butterfly Coins it cost; in terms of both practicality and durability, it far surpasses the old model.
The only downside to expensive things is that they're expensive!
Li Muyu glanced at the sky; it was almost time to head to Jade Maiden Peak.
He pushed open the door and walked out.
In the courtyard, a figure in white was already standing quietly, waiting.
Pei Yourong turned around, her almond-shaped eyes calmly looking at him. Her dress fluttered in the morning breeze, like a dignified and elegant lily.
Li Muyu sighed softly.
As expected, there was no escaping it.
"Master..."
"Let's go." Pei Yourong's voice was soft, but it left no room for argument.
