Master, You Should Take It Easy

Chen Ziyan glanced at Lingzhou Yue, then at Xiao Ran, and was amused by the master and apprentice pair.

They were playfully bickering while remaining respectful to each other, yet their tacit understanding was unlike that of a master and disciple; they were even closer than Dao Companion.

If one day in the future, Lingzhou Yue marries a man, what kind of bloody storm will those powerful figures who once pursued her but were instead slaughtered by her stir up in the Cultivation World? Chen Ziyan is very much looking forward to it.

After all, she herself had no interest in men and had rejected and hurt countless men.

Chen Ziyan's eyes shone brightly as she held the drawing board and gazed at it for a long time before finally returning the painting to Xiao Ran, as if bidding farewell to her childhood self.

"Dreams are just dreams after all; not everyone can be as carefree as Sister Yue."

Why don't you want it anymore? Lingzhou Yue suddenly regretted paying more, and just tilted her head back to drink the wine in one gulp, not daring to say anything more.

Xiao Ran put the painting away.

Aren't you worried that I might use the painting for something else?

Chen Ziyan stared at Xiao Ran, her beautiful eyes, partially obscured by shadows, appearing extremely deep.

"Wouldn't it be more profitable to keep this painting with you, so that you, a renowned genius in the Cultivation World, will always remember me?"

Xiao Ran was taken aback, thinking that this money-saving logic made a lot of sense.

After drinking a pot of Lingzhou Yue felt refreshed and clear-headed.

"You want someone to be yours, but you don't want them. Yet you want them to never forget you. Are you trying to cast a long line to catch a big fish, or to cast a wide net to catch many fish?"

Chen Ziyan took a sip of tea and smiled gently.

" In this Dharma Ending Era, not everyone can be as powerful as Sister Yue, able to do whatever they want and have whatever they desire. We mortals can only play fixed roles and have to make choices in everything we do."

Lingzhou Yue was blown into the sky, but upon closer reflection, she realized that she was also constrained at every turn, and that life would only get a little better after she took on an apprentice.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that Xiao Ran seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted and get whatever he desired...

Compared to Xiao Ran, she had become a mere mortal.

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that his Master and mistress were staring at him meaningfully, which made him feel uneasy, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Master's wife, what do you think of Xuan Yuan Guang?"

Master's wife?

Chen Ziyan laughed and said, "Why do you still call me Master's Wife? You've fused with Sister Yue's Bone of the Blood Moon, so maybe next time we meet I'll have to call you Brother-in-law."

"Puff--"

Lingzhou Yue spat out a rainbow mist from a mouthful of wine, her shimmering eyes flashing with sword light.

"Does he dare?"

This disciple dares not...

Xiao Ran kept these words to himself.

My brother-in-law is alright.

I'll call you my teacher's wife, and you can call me brother-in-law. Let's each address each other separately.

Just as his master's wife said, the Bone of the Blood Moon did indeed make his relationship with his Master ambiguous. However, his Master still instinctively resists men, and since he still wants to continue to take advantage of his Master, he still needs to keep his distance.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere and Xiao Ran's silence, Chen Ziyan quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Let's get down to business. What happened to Xuan Yuan Guang?"

Bai Ye had always maintained neutrality between the Dao Alliance and the Five Sects, and since his master's wife was practically one of his own, Xiao Ran had no need to hide anything from her.

"Xuan Yuan Guang gave me a piece of dragon bone and asked me to agree to one of his proposals at the Tianjiao Conference."

"What!"

"Keel!"

"Let me see it!"

Lingzhou Yue instantly teleported to sit next to Xiao Ran, casually putting her arm around his shoulder as if no one else was around.

It's like holding a super valuable treasure, and you wish you could cling to it with your whole body.

Thinking that taking his apprentice with him when he went out was the right thing to do, Xiao Ran caught a divine beast after a short training session, and someone gave him dragon bones just by walking around Chaos City.

Xiao Ran felt a chill on his body, followed by a surge of smooth, soft sensation that warmed him only after a while.

My master's wife is right there! "Master, you're too close."

Xiao Ran's eyes twitched slightly, and he closed his eyes calmly.

Lingzhou Yue, however, half-approached him and half-threatened him:

"Enough talk, hurry up and take out the dragon bone!"

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed in Chen Ziyan's usually calm and beautiful eyes.

"As far as I know, even in the Xuan Yuan Family, dragon bones are extremely rare. Why would he give you such a valuable gift on our first meeting?"

Lingzhou Yue grabbed Xiao Ran's hands but couldn't find the Space Ring. She searched his body but still couldn't find it...

Does this kid know spatial magic? "I bet it's fake. Quickly, take it out and let your master appraise it."

Xiao Ran remained silent.

Are dragon bones really that valuable? "Shouldn't the focus be on Xuan Yuan Guang's suggestion?"

Lingzhou Yue then released Xiao Ran, straightened up, and stirred up a storm, pretending to care about her disciple, and asked, "Ahem, Xuan Yuan Guang have any suggestions?"

Xiao Ran said, "He wants to unite the five sects' prodigies to form a dragon-hunting team to resist the Dao Alliance's merger plan."

Chen Ziyan calmly sipped her tea and said:

"His idea is good, but he also wants to use the genius to gain the help of the five sects to hunt the Demonic Dragon. It seems that the Xuan Yuan Family is determined to get the Demonic Dragon. The reason he is willing to give you the dragon bone is not only because he sees your strength, but more importantly, he also wants to use Sister Yue's protection to protect you."

Lingzhou Yue was delighted to hear this and leaned closer to hug Xiao Ran's shoulder.

"Did you hear that? The dragon bone is my doing. Let me see it now."

Xiao Ran remained unmoved despite his Master's close embrace and the warmth surging within him, calmly saying, "Wait until I return to the mountain to make soup."

"I can't wait!"

"We can only wait."

Chen Ziyan didn't care about the master and apprentice's close fight over the dragon bone, and only said, "Actually, the symbolic meaning of the dragon bone is greater than its practical meaning. If you two are not obsessed with the dragon bone, you can sell it to Bai Ye. The price will be surprisingly good."

Lingzhou Yue raised an eyebrow.

How surprising?

Xiao Ran was afraid that his Master would sell the dragon bones, so he quickly said:

"Actually, dragon bones also have some medicinal value. We need to go back to the sect to study this further. If I were to sell them, I'm afraid I would definitely ask my master's wife for help."

"Good."

Chen Ziyan remained calm and continued drinking her tea. After finishing the cup, she put down the teacup and said, "The White Night Headquarters is also very interested in the Demonic Dragon. You have seen the Demonic Dragon with your own eyes. Are you sure it is a dragon? Because with the current concentration of Spiritual Energy, no divine beast can survive."

Xiao Ran said meaningfully, "If one is infected with the Wraith Poison, then it's hard to say."

Lingzhou Yue was about to mention Xiao Ran's certain Netherworld Bird, but she swallowed the words back.

Chen Ziyan is practically one of Bai Ye's people, but she ultimately represents Bai Ye's interests and is obsessed with business. When it comes to matters that Bai Ye is particularly interested in, she can't expose her bottom line in order to make more money.

Chen Ziyan frowned slightly.

"If it's contaminated with the Wraith Poison, won't the Demonic Dragon become worthless?"

Xiao Ran shook his head.

"No, it might be worth more."

Chen Ziyan seemed to understand but not quite, and seeing that Xiao Ran didn't explain in detail, she didn't bother to investigate further.

He bent down to refill Xiao Ran's teacup, then refilled his own, took a sip, and sighed:

"Since the Dharma Ending Era, apart from a few Wraith Extermination War, things have been very peaceful. Now, the Demonic Dragon has appeared and is devouring the Great Underworld, which can be considered a turning point in the Dharma Ending Era. And the two people who personally experienced this turning point are actually right in front of me. It is truly amazing."

Xiao Ran asked again:

"What does Master's wife think about the merger of the Dao Alliance?"

In reality, Xiao Ran was asking what Bai Ye thought about the merger of the Dao Alliance. Chen Ziyan replied:

"Only war can truly unite humanity. The speed of the Wraith's destruction is too slow, and the power of the Apostle is too weak. Unless a new enemy emerges, even if the Dao Alliance superficially merges the five sects, it will not be able to achieve true unity."

Lingzhou Yue took a sip of wine, then shook her head.

"A new enemy has emerged."

Chen Ziyan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"Um?"

Lingzhou Yue said:

"You don't actually think that Demonic Dragon is a person, do you? The end times are destined to accelerate, so if you want to relax, now's the time."

Xiao Ran had thought his Master was a simpleton, but he hadn't expected him to see things so clearly.

But that's no excuse for your laziness and carefree lifestyle! Chen Ziyan laughed and said, "So Sister Yue is here for a vacation."

Lingzhou Yue put down the wine pot, looking quite serious.

"That's enough small talk. Report to White Night headquarters immediately and have my spending restrictions lifted. This Xiao Ran's first time in Chaos City. Don't let his calm demeanor fool you; he's still a virgin. Tonight, I'm going to take him on a wild night."

Chen Ziyan shook her head and smiled, then got up from the bath, put on a bright purple cloak, and her posture was no different from when she was soaking in the hot spring, giving off the feeling of routinely drinking with clients.

"I almost forgot about this. Your spending restriction wasn't imposed by Bai Ye. It's because you have outstanding debts at almost every major store. This restriction was personally issued by the City Lord. Bai Ye can help you apply for its removal, but you must pay off the debts at one of the stores before you can spend money at that store."

Lingzhou Yue pouted.

"What? You think I can't pay my debts? Don't underestimate me. I'm a well-known rich woman now, with hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones."

Chen Ziyan dried her undergarments, straightened the hem of her shirt, and turned to smile.

"With a figure as good as Sister Yue's, who would dare to look down on you?"

Xiao Ran:

"..."

Chen Ziyan turned and walked into the Bamboo Forest, but suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned back, saying, "There's Temple Fair in North City tonight, you can go and take a look."

Lingzhou Yue nodded, since she could go to the Temple Fair without having to pay back the money first.

"Good."

Chen Ziyan added, "There is one thing I need to remind you of: the young master of the Nanmen Family, one of the four Four Great Families of the Dao Alliance, is currently in the city, preparing to observe this Heaven's Chosen Assembly. If you unfortunately encounter him, do your best to be respectful to avoid conflict."

After speaking, Chen Ziyan left the Sword Ship and returned to the White Night Pavilion, where she immediately began to lift Lingzhou Yue's spending restrictions and promote the Fight the Wraith Game.

Unfortunately encountered...

Xiao Ran understood.

The Four Great Families the Dao Alliance are actually the royal families of the four countries that originally united to establish the Dao Alliance.

Back then, they gave up wealth and honor, took the lead in uniting the major and minor sects in the country, and formed a unified Dao Alliance. They were even more senior than Nine Radiances.

Currently, the Dao Alliance has four members of the Nine Radiances, each responsible for the safety of one family.

Therefore, the descendants of the Four Great Families are like having a get-out-of-jail-free card. No matter how evil they do, as long as they don't go too far, the Dao Alliance will turn a blind eye.

Lingzhou Yue hates these pigs the most.

"What Four Great Families? They're ancient relics! Each generation is worse than the last, they're all just pigs fed with Spirit Stone."

With Nine Radiances backing him up, Xiao Ran still felt it was best to be cautious.

"Master, you should take it easy. You have Nine Radiances backing you up."

Upon hearing this, Lingzhou Yue grinned and came closer.

"Now that I have my precious disciple, do I still need to fear Nine Radiances?"

Xiao Ran remained unmoved and shook his head, saying, "Praising me to the skies won't help. The dragon bone still has research value, so I can't hand it over to you for the time being."

"With your talent, why would you need dragon bones?"

Lingzhou Yue suddenly leaned close to his ear, her voice soft and gentle like sand.

"Give it to me quickly."
