Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Bully Their Master — Part 39

Wasn't she working so hard just to earn Uncle's approval?

She did not know why, but after spending only two or three days with Uncle, she already trusted him so much and cared so deeply about his emotions.

That was rather unlike her old self.

But whatever the reason, she knew that only by cultivating diligently could she do what she wanted and protect the people she wished to protect!

Third Brother was one of them, and so was Uncle!

The more sensible the little girl was, the worse Su Mu felt.

Had he been a little too cruel to this little girl before? Was that massive sword a little too heavy?

There were clearly other ways to help her build a foundation. Why had he insisted on choosing such a quick yet cruel method?

Was that really fair to the little girl?

"Girl, how about I think of another way and change your training method?"

In the end, Su Mu could not bear it.

However, Xiao Yue ultimately rejected the suggestion.

Xiao Yue could feel the changes within her body. She knew her master was doing it for her own good.

Although the training method was a little harsh, so what?

Could she not even endure this much hardship?

The Effects of the Medicinal Liquid

People said going down a mountain was easy while climbing one was hard, but that saying did not apply to Xiao Yue at all!

It might have taken her only a dozen minutes or so to get there, but getting back took her a full half hour.

The difference was simply too great.

"Uncle, how am I supposed to use that medicinal liquid you gave me? I forgot to ask before. Do I drink it directly or something?"

When Xiao Yue was almost home, she suddenly remembered something.

It seemed she had yet to ask how to use the medicinal liquid.

She wondered how effective it would be.

For some reason, she was looking forward to it!

This was the first gift Uncle had given her. She wondered whether it would disappoint her.

"If you're not afraid of your body exploding, go right ahead and drink it!"

If the medicinal liquid could be drunk directly, why would she need to wait until she got home? Could she not just drink it on the mountain?

Did this little girl not know how to use her brain?

Jokes aside, he still had to explain its actual use.

What if this little girl insisted on showing off and ended up wasting the medicinal liquid? Su Mu would have nowhere to cry.

After all, finding a Goddess was not easy, and taking a Goddess as a disciple was even harder!

"The method is simple. Find a bath barrel and fill it with water, then pour the medicinal liquid into it. Just soak in it."

After Su Mu finished explaining, Xiao Yue shrank back slightly, as though she had become wary of something.

Then she looked at Su Mu with guarded eyes, her gaze full of meaning.

???

What was with the little girl's look?

Why was she so wary of him?

There was nothing wrong with what he said, was there?

"Uncle, you're not going to peek while I'm bathing later, are you?"

Xiao Yue was especially suspicious of this.

She did not particularly trust Uncle's character.

Thinking about what Uncle had done before, she still felt embarrassed even now.

She did not know whether Uncle was actually proper or not.

The more she thought in that direction, the more suspicious Xiao Yue became.

She wondered whether there was any way to guard against him.

At that moment, Su Mu, floating in midair, felt at a loss.

He felt that staying was wrong, but leaving was wrong too.

If he stayed, would she not think he had ill intentions?

But if he left, would that not make him seem guilty?

Just thinking about it made him miserable!

The little girl actually did not trust his character?

"Don't worry. When you bathe later, I definitely won't stay by your side! Do you think I have nothing better to do all day than keep watching you? Still, be careful yourself. Don't let anything unexpected happen. But I have great confidence in my things. As long as you use it correctly, nothing should go wrong. I'll be leaving first."

After giving his instructions, Su Mu vanished from where he stood once more.

"Uncle really is something else. He appears whenever he wants and disappears whenever he wants. He's like a ghost every time, all mysterious and secretive! So unreliable!"

Although Su Mu had already vanished, Xiao Yue could not help muttering a few more complaints.

But Uncle was already gone, so there was no use saying more.

She could only trust Uncle a little for now!

It had to be because she was too weak to detect Uncle. Once she became stronger, she would be able to see clearly what Uncle's character was really like...

"Someone, prepare a bucket of hot water for me..."

As soon as she returned home, Xiao Yue immediately gave the order.

As for herself, she collapsed straight onto the bed.

She was already exhausted, and her whole body ached. The journey back had drained every last bit of her strength, so all she wanted now was to rest properly.

She had never thought her bed could be so comfortable.

By the time the hot water had been prepared, Xiao Yue had recovered a little strength.

She took out the Jade Bottle on her person, feeling an inexplicable stir within her.

When she poured the spiritual liquid into the water, a fragrant scent wafted toward her. The previously clear water turned pale green, making it seem especially extraordinary.

Then again, why would Uncle give her anything ordinary?

Next, she removed her clothes.

Her delicate, fair little feet led up to slender, smooth calves and graceful, shapely long legs. Combined with her soft, smooth skin, she truly was a beautiful sight!

Her lower body was especially flawless, but her upper body was somewhat lacking at the moment.

Her back bore quite a few scars and bruises, ruining the perfection of her slim waist, narrow back, and frost-white skin.

The contrast between her back and the rest of her body made it easy to imagine the pain Xiao Yue had suffered during training.

Making such a delicate young beauty endure so much pain was truly difficult.

Girls and boys were different, after all.

Yet precisely because of this, Xiao Yue's exceptional nature stood out even more.

"Phew..."

Xiao Yue slowly let out a breath, then extended her jade-like feet and dipped them into the water.

The temperature was just right!

Then she lowered her whole body into it.

"Mm... ah..."

The warm water touched her bruised skin, and Xiao Yue immediately took several deep, satisfied breaths. The blissful sensation nearly made her moan.

After such intense training, taking a bath afterward felt absolutely heavenly!

Xiao Yue enjoyed the feeling immensely.

Inside the bath barrel, Xiao Yue slowly closed her eyes and remained motionless.

Her body leaned softly against the side of the wooden barrel, her breathing gradually becoming steady...

Before she knew it, Xiao Yue seemed to have fallen asleep...

As she slept, the green liquid rippled faintly. The gentle energy contained within gradually dispersed bit by bit, quietly entering Xiao Yue's open pores.

During the process, Xiao Yue occasionally let out enticing moans, clearly enjoying herself to the utmost.

Under the nourishment of the green medicinal liquid, her bruises slowly faded, and Xiao Yue's skin became increasingly radiant.

She truly had been exhausted today.

It was indeed a little too much for her to undergo such high-intensity training for the first time.

If she had not been exhausted to the extreme, how could Xiao Yue have fallen asleep directly in the bath barrel?

Fortunately, the medicinal liquid helped her. Otherwise, it truly might have affected Xiao Yue's body.

While Xiao Yue slept, Su Mu had also secretly come out to take a look.

On one hand, he feared that something might happen to his Little Disciple. On the other, he wanted to know the medicinal liquid's exact effects.
