Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Defy Their Master — Part 40

Seeing the little girl asleep, Su Mu felt especially heartbroken.

He had to think of a way to make her training a little more comfortable.

Those bruises on her body really affected her skin. Seeing them was truly unpleasant.

After looking her over, Su Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief before vanishing from the spot.

He swore he was only purely concerned for his Little Disciple. He absolutely had no other thoughts...

An Unexpected Delight

"Uwah~"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yue stretched lazily and slowly opened her heavy eyes.

"That felt amazing..."

Once she opened her eyes, Xiao Yue felt incomparably refreshed. Her entire body felt wonderful, as if she had endless strength to spare...

After stretching again, her bones immediately crackled in a series of pops.

It had been a long time since she had felt this good.

"Hm, why has the color of this water changed?"

Xiao Yue suddenly noticed that the medicinal liquid in the bucket seemed to have lightened considerably.

If she remembered correctly, Uncle had once said that the medicinal liquid she used was a level-two medicinal liquid, enough for several uses.

So why had more than half its effects already been used up after just one soak?

Was there something wrong with Uncle's medicinal liquid?

Or was she absorbing it too quickly?

Then, she carefully examined her skin again.

It did not matter if training was a little grueling, but it absolutely could not damage her figure or skin.

That was something she could never accept.

She touched herself and took a look in the mirror.

Luckily!

Her skin was exceptionally smooth and tender, and all the bruises that had covered her back had now completely disappeared.

The things Uncle gave her really did work.

Xiao Yue seemed to suddenly recall something. She slightly closed her eyes and began to sense her body carefully.

She suddenly grew somewhat delighted.

As she sensed herself, she could clearly feel the state of the Dou Qi within her body.

The total amount of Dou Qi seemed to have increased a little, and it had become more condensed within her body.

Besides that, she felt that her strength had increased quite a bit as well.

She knew that her control over her own strength had improved another step. If she repeated today's training a few more times, she would be able to completely control the strength throughout her body.

By then, she would probably be able to try breaking through to Dou Zhe.

Although she could not break her big brother's record, she would still rank among the very best. Just thinking about it made her happy.

She just did not know whether she could surpass Xiao Xun'er.

The thought made her inexplicably excited!

Admiration Value +5!!?

Su Mu, who was cultivating, received another unexpected delight.

He was genuinely surprised.

Originally, he had thought Xiao Yue might provide him with a little Admiration Value when she first used the medicinal liquid.

But the result was obvious!

Xiao Yue had not provided anything at the time.

Because of that, Su Mu had stopped hoping for much.

Yet the result was a pleasant surprise!

After Xiao Yue woke up, she had actually contributed Admiration Value again?

That was truly beyond expectations!

As expected of his good disciple—she never disappointed him, no matter when it was!

Now that he had another ten Admiration Value, he could start thinking about Qi Gathering Powder for his Little Disciple.

Although she could not use it immediately, the time probably was not far off.

"Uncle, are you there?"

Just as Su Mu was sighing with emotion, the little girl's voice came through again.

Without giving it much thought, Su Mu revealed himself.

The little girl was as tender and lovely as a lotus emerging from water, truly a sight that made one's eyes light up.

Su Mu froze for two seconds before quickly coming back to his senses.

"Uncle, do I look good? Were you just staring in a daze?"

Could it be that her charm was really that great?

Before, she had only thought Uncle was someone who did not partake of worldly concerns, a transcendent figure beyond the mundane world.

But judging from Uncle's expression just now, he was ultimately still an ordinary man!

The thought that Uncle had frozen for two seconds made her unable to contain her joy. Even breaking through in cultivation would not have made her this delighted!

"You are indeed very pretty, but what I care about most is your strength. Don't overthink it!"

Su Mu appeared especially calm and composed.

What a joke. How could Su Mu possibly admit that he had been left staring blankly at someone?

More importantly, that person was his disciple!

Still, as long as he refused to admit it, who would dare say anything about him?

"Is that so?"

Xiao Yue suddenly lost confidence.

Had she really been overthinking things?

Had Uncle been staring only at her cultivation instead of being captivated by something else?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

What was there to stare blankly at about cultivation?

It was definitely just Uncle's excuse!

Did he think he could fool her?

How could she so easily believe what Uncle said?

When she fixed her gaze on Uncle, she noticed his eyes shifting away. At that moment, she became certain.

Uncle was embarrassed!

Xiao Yue immediately grew happy again!

"Tell me, what did you come to see me about?"

Why did this little girl's expression look more and more strange?

Could she have guessed what he was really thinking?

That should be impossible, right?

And even if she had guessed it, so what?

As long as he denied it to the bitter end, none of it had ever happened.

"Hehe, Uncle, I just wanted to tell you about the effects of the medicinal liquid."

Xiao Yue smiled, paused for two seconds, then continued.

"The effects are indeed very good, but it gets used up far too quickly. I just soaked in it once, and it seems like only half the medicinal effect is left."

After saying that, Xiao Yue looked incredibly pleased with herself.

Why had the medicinal effects disappeared so quickly?

Was it not because she absorbed it quickly?

She could not be blamed for having such great talent!

Uncle would definitely feel very gratified!

Su Mu was completely stunned. He was a little dumbfounded.

How could the little girl's absorption speed be so fast?

According to what she said, did that mean she would use up one bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid every two days?

That was the equivalent of spending one point of Admiration Value every two days?

That was quite an expense!

Could he really afford it?

Su Mu was deeply doubtful about that.

He had originally thought that with ten Admiration Value, he could consider getting Qi Gathering Powder for the little girl.

But now, it seemed he had been thinking too much.
