Holding Leng Yulai in her arms, Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of heartache.
She and Leng Yulai haven't even discussed helping Leng Yulai treat her injuries yet.
Leng Yulai suffered severe injuries in the process of refining the Demon God Sword.
Both the Soul Core and the Spiritual World suffered severe damage.
Even if Ya Li came, there would be no way to change it.
In this situation, Leng Yaozhu would agree to whatever Leng Yulai said without hesitation.
"Come in, everyone." Looking at Leng Yulai, Leng Yaozhu still called Xia Yi and Gu Yue back.
"Master!" Upon seeing Xia Yi, Leng Yulai immediately stood up.
"Sit down." Leng Yaozhu grabbed her and pressed her down firmly, while glaring fiercely at Xia Yi.
Leng Yulai had no choice but to cast a pitiful look at Xia Yi.
Ignoring Xia Yi's aggrieved gaze, Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu Yue and said coldly, " Yue'er, from today onwards, you will stay in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda to cultivate. You may only leave for one day a month."
"Ah!" Xia Yi and Gu Yue were both stunned.
They never expected Leng Yaozhu to be so ruthless.
Xia Yi felt extremely wronged; he hadn't expected that he had already returned Leng Yulai to Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu actually remembered this whole thing.
"What? You have a problem with that?" Leng Yaozhu asked coldly.
"Teacher, I still need to make Battle Armor!" Gu Yue quickly made an excuse.
"Can't we make the whole set once we break through to Soul King? Besides, you're just designing; you can't design anything here at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.
"I still have to go to the Shrek Academy," Gu Yue said, making up another excuse.
"Take leave. No matter what, break through to Soul King first," Leng Yaozhu said, not forgetting to glare at Xia Yi again after speaking.
She would never allow Xia Yi and Gu Yue to be completely immersed in romantic love.
"I've been cultivating in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. Although my Soul Power increases quickly, I miss out on some insights," Gu Yue said, making another excuse.
She's only truly with Xia Yi now, how could she possibly leave like this?
"Alright, how about this? For every level you advance, I'll give you a week off." Leng Yaozhu and said, "Don't even think about bargaining with me. If you try to bargain again, I'll only let you leave for one day a month."
"Yes, teacher." Gu Yue said, her head drooping.
It's just about preventing her from leaving the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
It's as if Xia Yi can't come to see her.
Xia Yi smiled bitterly.
In the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, trying to find Gu Yue while avoiding Leng Yaozhu will probably not be an easy task.
"Alright, you can go and cultivate now," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.
"Now?" Gu Yue asked with a mournful face.
"Now," Leng Yaozhu said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Gu Yue nodded.
She didn't really care. Her Soul Power was already at level 30, peak level 9. As long as she calmed down, she could break through in one night at most.
In other words, starting tomorrow, she and Xia Yi can enjoy a week of free time.
After giving Xia Yi a defiant look, she left.
" Yue'er, don't blame your teacher. Your teacher is only thinking about your future." Looking at Gu Yue's retreating figure, Leng Yaozhu said in her heart.
She was actually quite satisfied with Xia Yi.
Before Xia Yi and Gu Yue officially became a couple, Xia Yi was always very outgoing and even dared to tease her.
But ever since she and Gu Yue started dating, she could clearly feel that Xia Yi had become much more restrained.
I've never even said anything ambiguous to her, let alone flirted with her.
After Gu Yue had completely left, Leng Yaozhu turned to Xia Yi and said, "From now on, my sister will be with you, so you're not allowed to bully her."
"Ah!" Xia Yi was still immersed in the depression that she and Gu Yue might not be able to be together all the time in the future when she heard Leng Yaozhu say this.
"Aren't you going to keep Sister Yu Lai by your side?" Xia Yi asked tentatively.
"Sister Yu Lai, this is a good way to address you. You can call my sister that from now on." Leng Yaozhu nodded in satisfaction and said, "My sister will just call you by your name. You don't mind, do you?"
"If you have no objections, could you change Yue'er's vacation time a bit more?" Xia Yi asked with a chuckle.
"Okay." To Xia Yi's surprise, Leng Yaozhu actually nodded and said, "As long as you and my sister address each other like that from now on, Gu Yue can get an extra day off for every level she gains."
"Really?" Xia Yi was overjoyed.
"When have I ever gone back on my word?" Leng Yaozhu, "But I'm letting you know beforehand, if I hear Yu Lai call you 'master' again, don't blame me for canceling Yue'er's vacation."
"Ah, Sister Yao Zhu, you can't be so cruel!" Xia Yi immediately protested.
Is Leng Yulai any of his business?
"That's your own problem," Leng Yaozhu said calmly.
Helpless, Xia Yi could only look up at Leng Yaozhu, looking like a little bird Leng Yulai to her.
Although she looked at herself pitifully.
But Xia Yi understood that he had to train him.
Otherwise, my future happiness might be halved.
"Master... Xia Yi, don't worry, I will be very obedient." Seeing Xia Yi looking at her, Leng Yulai said very cooperatively.
This submissive demeanor almost made Leng Yaozhu next to her, so angry that she vomited blood.
Wasn't she doing this to help Leng Yulai gain a better position with Xia Yi?
Leng Yulai is alright.
In short, all her efforts were wasted.
This made her turn her head and glare fiercely at her good-for-nothing younger sister.
"This servant will make tea for my sister and Xia Yi." Leng Yulai didn't seem to care, still maintaining the demeanor of a well-behaved maid.
Like a maid, she carefully took out tea leaves and teaware from Leng Yaozhu's desk drawer, and took small, quick steps to fetch water.
With a flick of the dark Phoenix Flame in his hand, the water in the teapot instantly boiled.
Leng Yaozhu couldn't stand it any longer and pulled Leng Yulai to sit down next to her again. "You sit down, let Xia Yi do it."
With Xia Yi present, Leng Yulai behaved herself very well and sat down obediently.
"How tragic! I guess I'm the first master to make tea for a maid." Xia Yi shook his head inwardly.
However, he still got up, took the tea set and utensils from Leng Yulai, and did the tea-making, rinsing and brewing in one go. Finally, he respectfully served tea to Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai.
There was nothing I could do; after all, she was practically my mother-in-law.
"That's more like it." Leng Yaozhu accepted the tea offered by Xia Yi with satisfaction and began to sip it.
"You little brat, daring to take my sister as a maid, let's see if I can handle you." Looking at Xia Yi's respectful appearance, Leng Yaozhu felt a surge of smugness.
Actually, she was quite grateful to Xia Yi.
No matter how you look at it, it was Xia Yi who pulled Leng Yulai out of the Holy Spirit Cult.
But gratitude is one thing.
Complaining is one thing.
These two are not contradictory.
Seeing Leng Yaozhu gaze.
Xia Yi had no idea what she was thinking.
But all he could do was hug the teapot, plop down on the sofa, and gulp down the tea from the spout.
"Hmph, although I served you tea, you didn't drink as much as I did, nor did you drink it as heartily as I did," Xia Yi comforted himself inwardly.
Actually, for him, serving Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai a cup of tea was nothing special.
What he couldn't accept was Leng Yaozhu gaze and her red lips that seemed to be pointing skyward.
Leng Yulai raised her teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, resting his chin on his hand, he scrutinized the two "master and apprentice" with great interest.
The more I looked at her, the more I felt they were two sworn enemies.
"Sister, can I ask you a question?" Leng Yulai suddenly asked.
"What's the problem?" Leng Yaozhu asked in a deep voice.
"Do you still like Yun Ming?" Leng Yulai asked, sitting up straight.
Leng Yaozhu was startled, thinking that Leng Yulai had thought of Yun Ming again.
"I..." Leng Yaozhu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
She didn't want to lie to Leng Yulai.
But do I like it, or do I not?
She herself didn't know.
If it were before, Leng Yulai had asked him this, she would have definitely answered that she liked him, but she wouldn't try to compete with Ya Li anymore, much less with Leng Yulai.
But I don't know when it started.
It wasn't until Leng Yulai asked her that she realized she didn't even have the courage to admit she liked Yun Ming.
Similarly, she didn't have the courage to admit that she no longer liked Yun Ming.
Decades of dedication.
Saying you don't like it is betraying decades of feelings, isn't it?
"Okay, let me ask again. If Yun Ming and Xia Yi both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save, sister?" Leng Yulai asked with a giggle.
Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu rolled their eyes simultaneously.
Xia Yi immediately stated, "I don't need to be saved, I can swim."
Don't forget, Xia Yi spent three years in East Sea City, which is adjacent to the sea.
How could they not know how to swim?
"Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely save Xia Yi first." Leng Yulai chuckled and said, "During my time in the Holy Spirit Cult, all I could think about was my sister. Although I also thought about Yun Ming, I had very little time for it. During the four years I was in Xia Yi's body, I thought about many things. My sister and I and Yun Ming are truly destined to be apart. Rather than clinging to unrealistic fantasies, it's better to seize the reality in front of us."
"Little sister, it's so good that you've come to your senses." Tears welled up in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes again.
"Sister, I haven't figured it out yet. I've just gotten stuck in an even bigger problem," Leng Yulai said, shaking her head.
"What do you mean?" Leng Yaozhu asked, puzzled.
"Sister, you just promised me you wouldn't blame me, right?" Leng Yulai asked through gritted teeth.
"What exactly do you mean?" Leng Yaozhu's voice rose several notches.
Leng Yulai gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, do you still remember the Demon God Sword I just gave you? During my time with the Holy Spirit Cult, my hatred for you reached an unprecedented level. To take revenge on you, I prepared two plans. One of them was to kill you, and that's how the Demon God Sword came to be. However, that was just my inferior plan to take revenge on you. The superior plan was to make you lose your virginity and make you unworthy of Yun Ming. For this, I prepared a medicine that I named Heavenly Phoenix Chant. If we have to rank it, its power is definitely no less than that of the Demon God Sword."
"What did you say?" Leng Yaozhu's face turned deathly pale.
She immediately thought of the tea she had just drunk.
"Sister, why don't you just circulate your Soul Power and you'll know?" Leng Yulai said.
Leng Yaozhu subconsciously circulated her Soul Power, and a feeling of heat immediately came from her abdomen.
"What are you still sitting there for? Go find Gu Yue!" Leng Yaozhu suddenly turned to look at Xia Yi and yelled at him.
She hadn't forgotten that Xia Yi had just drunk the most.
"Master, if you leave, my sister won't be able to hold on any longer. She will definitely commit suicide to preserve her innocence. At that time, you will be the culprit. Will you forgive yourself? Will Gu Yue forgive you?" Leng Yulai suddenly looked up at Xia Yi.
" Leng Yulai!" Leng Yaozhu shouted.
"Sister, I originally planned to drug you after a while, but you've been so good to me, and I'm afraid that after a while I won't be able to do it." Leng Yulai gritted her teeth, tears slowly streaming down her cheeks, and said, "Anyway, you don't like Yun Ming anymore, so I have a clear conscience. I've already fallen once, so what's wrong with falling with you one more time today?"
"Sister, do you hate me that much?" Leng Yaozhu's voice trembled. She couldn't accept that Leng Yulai's previous closeness to her was all an act, just to scheme against her.
"Just consider it me hating you." Leng Yulai gritted her teeth, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "If you fall into depravity today, I'll fall into depravity with you. If you commit suicide, I won't even flinch; I'll immediately commit suicide to join you."
After saying that, she looked up at Xia Yi with a stubborn gaze.
Leng Yaozhu also looked up at Xia Yi, but after only one glance, she turned her head away, closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face.
She had no other choice, just as she wouldn't let Leng Yulai die with her.
Xia Yi wouldn't allow her to commit suicide.
Although her eyes were closed, she could feel Xia Yi lifting her head and gently kissing away her tears, one by one.
"Fine, let's just treat it as a dream." Leng Yaozhu's tears flowed more and more.
Now she only prays that Gu Yue won't find out what happened today.
