The Puppy Will Always Be Loyal to Its Master

"Qianhua... puppy."

Upon hearing this, Qianhua Venerable's beautiful face froze for a moment. A blush of embarrassment and annoyance, like a peach blossom blooming unexpectedly in spring, crept onto her cheeks, intertwined with a trace of indescribable resentment.

Her gaze towards You Su was hesitant and stammering, as if she had endless words to say but couldn't, or as if she had a thousand twists and turns of emotions that were difficult to unravel and were hard to describe.

After a long silence, she finally spoke:

"You are Evil Demon that everyone in the Five Continents wants to kill; I dare not share a cup of tea with you."

You Su put down his teacup, took the teapot from Qianhua Venerable, refilled his own teacup, and then pushed it in front of Qianhua Venerable.

"If I am Evil Demon, then you are its Evil Demon, so... you have no choice."

To everyone's surprise, You Su's threat only elicited a smile from Qianhua Venerable. She curled her lips into a slightly provocative gesture and asked:

"Do I really have no choice?"

This meaningful rhetorical question left You Su speechless, and his previous unbridled arrogance, which had relied on the True Lord's Power, began to wane somewhat.

He even began to doubt whether the power of this retinue could truly imprison the fate of a Void Glimpse Venerable.

If that doesn't work... given this woman's vengeful nature, she'll surely repay him tenfold for everything he did to her before. And the slight feeling of kinship he'd felt for this wicked woman was utterly foolish; coming to see her was practically jumping into a fire.

Just as You Su was having a tense brainstorming session, Qianhua Venerable's even clearer laughter rang out. The woman laughed radiantly, her full curves outlined by her tight cheongsam swaying continuously.

You Su frowned, looking at the woman with a somewhat serious expression, just in time to meet her scrutinizing gaze.

You've changed.

Qianhua Venerable suppressed her smile, and a strand of silk thread emerged from her sleeve, wrapping around You Su's face as if she were gently caressing the young man's cheek.

You Su felt a little nervous being touched. His previous confidence came entirely from his ability to suppress the extraordinary Fairy in front of him with his bloodline, but now, he seemed to have lost his dominant position.

"Tsk, it doesn't look as good as it used to."

The Qianhua Venerable's next words took You Su by surprise.

Seeing You Su's astonished expression, Qianhua Venerable laughed even more heartily:

"Although he's not as refined as before, he's become more muscular and mature; he does look like a man now..."

A strand of silk slid down his cheek, slowly slipping into his collar and caressing his firm chest muscles. The soft, delicate silk, with its barely perceptible warmth, easily stirred the imagination.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" You Su was getting annoyed by the other person's teasing.

"You've become insecure."

Qianhua Venerable abruptly withdrew the strands of silk that were wrapped around You Su, leaving You Su feeling somewhat empty. The woman also stopped looking at You Su, her calm tone tinged with a hint of contempt.

"Don't forget who you are." You Su was somewhat provoked, her voice ringing out.

But his increased volume did not provoke fear in Qianhua Venerable. Qianhua Venerable merely sighed softly and said:

Why don't you give it a try?

You Su was immediately stunned. This woman had often provoked him before, using her defiance to get him to punish her more severely, which even made You Su wonder if this woman had some kind of special fetish.

This provocation, however, made You Su hesitant. He was afraid that if he gave the order, the dignified woman before him would no longer obey as before, and he, who had been 'borrowing the tiger's power,' would stand there like a clown, all the prestige he had built up would collapse instantly, and his position would be completely reversed with this shrewd woman...

"Are you determined to provoke me?" You Su pressed, continuing her intimidation.

"Provocation?" Qianhua Venerable rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, completely unafraid. "A wife angrily berating her incompetent husband by the bedside, is that provocation? No, that's contempt, that's disrespect."

Upon hearing this, You Su clenched his fists. He truly couldn't understand where the other party's confidence came from. He had originally planned to be gentler with this wicked woman after their reunion, but now he was probably begging her to show him mercy. Unfortunately, this woman would only become more and more ruthless.

Qianhua Venerable looked up at You Su, who stood like a wooden stake. Although her gaze was upward, it was full of mockery. Seeing You Su's body tense and his fists clenched involuntarily, she revealed a victor's smile.

Kneel down.

These two words are as abrupt as lightning flashing across the night sky, and as majestic as the deep, resonant sound of a temple drum at dusk.

Qianhua Venerable's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with disbelief, as if she had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

She stared intently at You Su, a cold smile playing on her lips, her posture remaining firmly seated in the chair, without the slightest wavering.

"You've grown more mature, but your mind has deteriorated even more?" Her words were full of sarcasm, and her eyes flashed with disdain for You Su's naive thoughts. "Do you really think you can still boss me around?"

However, her provocation did not sway You Su. You Su took a deep breath, her voice already carrying an undeniable anger:

"I'll make you kneel down!"

Upon hearing this, Qianhua Venerable's body trembled violently. An absolute suppressive force from her bloodline surged forth like a raging river, unstoppable. She gripped the edge of the table tightly, her fingers turning white from the force, attempting to resist this oppressive force from her bloodline. However, all her struggles seemed so futile.

She slowly rose from the chair, her legs feeling as if they were bound by an immense weight, each movement incredibly difficult. But the force was irresistible, pushing her knees to gradually bend.

Qianhua Venerable bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled, her eyes flashing with humiliation and resentment. In the end, she could no longer resist and knelt before You Su in humiliation.

You Su looked down at her coldly, his eyes icy and penetrating. "You're still as troublesome as ever..."

Qianhua Venerable stubbornly curled her lips into a smile. Even though she was kneeling before the man, she still did not abandon her arrogance.

"What? Why aren't you suddenly afraid that I've actually escaped your control?"

You Su slowly squatted down, her slender fingers gently stroking the top of Qianhua Venerable's head, just as Qianhua Venerable had rubbed him downstairs earlier. This doting gesture only intensified the anger and resentment in the woman's eyes.

His dark eyes were as deep as the sea, and a confident smile played at the corners of his lips.

"You're right, I think I've become insecure. I know what's going on outside. I've been timid and hiding for so long, how can I act as recklessly as before?"

You saw through that, so you tried to trick me, to make me treat our family ties as a fig leaf, something I'd never dare to easily tear off. That way, you could turn the tables and suppress me. To be honest, I almost fell for your trick... What a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Qianhua Venerable asked arrogantly.

"Unfortunately, I know what kind of person you are. I said it back in Jinhua City: you are arrogant and despicable, to sum it up in one word—cheap."

You Su brazenly ran his fingers through the woman's hair, ruffling her meticulously styled high bun.

Qianhua Venerable's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, yet he still maintained his unruly demeanor.

"I have to admit, you are indeed very clever, clever to the point of being cunning. But dealing with you is surprisingly simple, which is to do the opposite of everything you do. If you tell me not to drink that cup of tea, I'll drink it anyway. If you tell me not to give an order, I'll give it anyway."

You Su chuckled softly, his fingers slowly sliding down her cheek, finally resting on her delicate chin. He gently lifted her chin, making her look into his eyes.

His tone and eyes were full of confidence, which did not come from absolute suppression of power, but from a deep understanding and control over Qianhua Venerable.

It was as if he was telling the Fairy in front of him that no matter how much she struggled, she could not escape his grasp.

Unexpectedly, Qianhua Venerable, whose expression had remained defiant to the death, suddenly smiled brightly, like the first rays of dawn piercing through the thin mist and illuminating the silent valley.

That smile held a cunning glint in it, like a little fox in the forest, lively and playful, yet carrying a hidden depth.

After laughing, she gently raised her jade-like hand, her fingertips as slender as scallions, and lightly placed it on the delicate, snow-white skin of her chest, the movement graceful and subtle. She bowed slightly, giving You Su an elegant greeting, revealing half of her beautiful back, below which were two flawless curves.

"Welcome back, my... master."

The voice contained both a hint of submission and a subtle provocation and amusement, like a night-blooming jasmine quietly blooming under the night sky, sparking the imagination.

A hint of smugness flashed in You Su's eyes. His resounding victory in this psychological game filled him with an indescribable sense of conquest.

He was right; it was unrealistic to think he could completely control this woman based solely on kinship. Besides blood ties, he needed to suppress her in other areas as well to tame this unruly fox.

"A puppy should always be loyal to its owner..." You Su couldn't help but hum softly.

However, just when he thought he had everything under control, like a hunter holding the reins of his prey, two strands of silk, like serpents, silently slipped out from Qianhua Venerable's sleeves and wrapped around his knees.

The strands shimmered with a crimson hue, like a pool of blood rippling under the moonlight. Suddenly, the strands were pulled, and the unexpected force dragged the unsuspecting You Su to her knees, her knees hitting the hard ground with a dull thud.

The two knelt facing each other, their knees almost touching, their faces inches apart, their breaths audible. As their eyes met, a strange illusion arose, like that of newlyweds bowing to each other, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

You Su's eyes were filled with shock and confusion. He stared wide-eyed at the beautiful face so close to his, which was like a newly blooming peony, delicate and beautiful, yet also thorny.

Just as You Su was taken aback, Qianhua Venerable suddenly leaned forward slowly, as if to kiss the lips that were just inches away. Fortunately You Su reacted quickly and leaned back to dodge, but still managed to brush past the wicked woman's red lips.

Qianhua Venerable wasn't annoyed. She stepped back, her expression still somewhat aggrieved. She spoke slowly, her voice full of amusement:

"Didn't the master himself say... that dealing with Qianhua requires constant vigilance..."

After saying that, she gently stroked You Su's cheek with her fingers, like a cat teasing a mouse under its paws.

You Su's expression shifted unpredictably, and he suddenly laughed in anger. This woman was always like this; she was clearly bound by shackles she couldn't break free from, yet she always managed to come up with new tricks to provoke him.

"Let go of me."

"Just relax, why be so fierce?" Qianhua Venerable's tone was low and resentful, and the two strands of silk retreated back into her sleeves, as if they possessed a spirit.

You Su stood up and looked down at Qianhua Venerable was still kneeling. But kneeling was just a formality; this woman had not completely submitted to him. He had never been one to make conquering women his goal, because he did not want to treat love as an end in itself or a task.

All the women who loved him were won over by his honesty and mutual support, but he had to admit that the woman in front of him truly aroused his desire to conquer, the pure conquest between a male and a female.

"I've always been curious about where these readily available threads of silk come from," You Su said, brazenly scrutinizing Qianhua Venerable's curvaceous figure. "Why couldn't you find their hiding place when you were so open with them before?"

"Want to know?" Qianhua Venerable chuckled, covering his mouth. "Then search for it yourself. If you still can't find it, then you can only blame yourself for not searching thoroughly enough."

There were only a handful of places on Qianhua Venerable's body that You Su hadn't thoroughly searched. You Su merely smiled contemptuously and then took out the gold-framed mirror from his robes.

Qianhua Venerable was somewhat taken aback when she saw the glasses. These sunglasses were a gift from her to You Su for his training on the island, but she never expected that You Su would still have kept them with him after more than two months of wandering.

"You actually noticed that I can see in this state, right?" You Su suddenly asked.

"I am more perceptive than you think," Qianhua Venerable laughed.

You Su carefully wiped the lenses with silk. "These glasses were a gift from you, and they've really helped me a lot. Without them, seeing things wouldn't be so convenient. Thank you."

The sudden display of gentleness from You Su left Qianhua Venerable somewhat bewildered, and even a hint of unease appeared in his eyes.

"I originally planned to be gentler with you when we met again. But I've changed my mind now, because I can't be soft-hearted towards a woman like you..."

Upon hearing this, Qianhua Venerable's expression shifted from a hint of sadness to arrogance. She raised her head and said, "Should I say it's fortunate you've come to your senses?"

"You're expecting something." You Su stared directly into Qianhua Venerable's eyes, as if trying to see through the wicked woman's thoughts.

"Don't make me laugh." Qianhua Venerable sneered as he met You Su's gaze. Despite being the one kneeling, he refused to back down in the slightest.

Don't lie to yourself; your body tells you more than you do whether you're expecting it.

Upon hearing this, Qianhua Venerable's eyes finally flickered slightly. She subconsciously and quietly pressed her legs together, and a slightly alluring fragrance filled the air.

"Open your mouth."

"You! Uh..."
