"Disciple, what are you talking about?"
Dongfang Xuetong opened her sleepy eyes, her lazy voice sounding incredibly alluring.
Xiao Yao pulled the thin blanket up to his neck with both hands, forcing two tears out of his eyes, making it look like he had been violated.
"Master, no matter how much you crave my body, you can't do this!"
Dongfang Xuetong's lips twitched. The scene made it look as if she had done something to Xiao Yao.
She immediately lay on her right side, showcasing her exquisite figure while explaining, "Disciple, please listen to my explanation."
"No, no, I won't listen!" Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously, deliberately acting childish.
For a moment, Dongfang Xuetong didn't know what to do.
She could only ask helplessly, "Disciple, why won't you listen to my explanation?"
"My father said that explanations are cover-ups, and cover-ups mean it's true, so you must be craving my body," Xiao Yao said.
Dongfang Xuetong raised her fair, slender hand and covered her forehead, thinking that this disciple's father was truly something!
In reality, these were not Xiao Yao's father's words at all, but Xiao Yao's own.
Seeing his Master speechless, Xiao Yao felt very happy. It felt so good to attack from a position of moral high ground!
No wonder there were so many keyboard warriors online in his previous life.
Just then, Xiao Yao felt a powerful force moving his body.
When he looked again, his Master's flawless jade-like face, not covered by White Immortal Light, appeared before him.
Her dark, cloud-like hair was lustrous and smooth, emitting a faint fragrance.
Her face was beautiful, with a delicate nose and cherry lips, teeth like white jade, eyebrows as light as spring mountains, and eyes as captivating as autumn ripples. At this moment, it seemed as if all things in the world paled in comparison in Xiao Yao's eyes.
Her aura was peerless, extraordinary, and transcendent, not at all like something born into the mortal world. She could be described as a celestial maiden from the highest heavens.
"Disciple, please look into my eyes."
Xiao Yao immediately looked and found Dongfang Xuetong's eyes shining brightly.
"First, you didn't arrange accommodation for me yesterday."
Instantly, Xiao Yao remembered and nodded.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xuetong knew they could communicate normally, so she continued to explain, "Second, I possess the Emperor Tier bloodline, the Innate Sword Embryo. Through the Nourishing spell, I can improve your Sword Dao."
"Lastly, no matter how desperate I am, I would never lay a hand on you when you are still a child."
Xiao Yao understood this was his Master's principle, but he still teased, "Master, does that mean you can lay a hand on me when I grow up?"
"..." Dongfang Xuetong fell silent.
Why did this disciple always think in the wrong direction?
Seeing his Master's stern face and immense coldness, Xiao Yao chuckled, "Master, I was just joking. Please don't mind it."
"Don't let it happen again!" Dongfang Xuetong said coldly.
Afterward, Xiao Yao got out of bed to wash up. As he began to cultivate and circulate his techniques, he discovered that his cultivation had advanced to the peak of the second level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.
In addition, his Sword Intent had advanced from the first level to the peak of the first level.
Was this the improvement from his Master's Innate Sword Embryo nourishing him?
The improvement was truly significant. He wanted more in the future.
But remembering the joke he had just made with his Master, he quickly ran to Dongfang Xuetong's side. Before he could even speak, he heard her exclaim.
"My cultivation bottleneck has been loosening! My Sword Intent has also broken through ninety-nine levels to reach one hundred. What is going on?"
After a process of elimination, the most unlikely scenario appeared in Dongfang Xuetong's mind.
"No way! Although the Nourishing spell does enhance each other, it must be that the cultivation levels are similar. The improvement from bloodline alone is extremely small."
"But the Chaos Body is the strongest bloodline in the Human Realm. It's different from other bloodlines. Perhaps it really can do this. It seems I've struck gold!"
Hearing his Master's delighted voice, Xiao Yao felt immensely proud and happy. He immediately said, "Master, please continue to nourish me from now on."
Dongfang Xuetong's delicate body trembled, her curves becoming even more alluring.
She had been too engrossed in her thoughts and hadn't noticed Xiao Yao approaching. She quickly regained her composure and asked, "When did you start listening?"
"It seems to be when the bottleneck started loosening..."
Before Xiao Yao could finish, Dongfang Xuetong interrupted him, "So early? It's over, it's over! My image as your Master is ruined!"
"Master, you're overthinking this!" Xiao Yao retorted. Seeing the disbelief in his Master's eyes, he continued, "In my heart, even though you're not as cold and majestic as you were at the beginning, you are exactly the Master I envisioned. I like you like this the most, Master!"
Dongfang Xuetong's pretty face flushed slightly. She had never imagined she was so beloved by Xiao Yao.
After a moment, she responded to Xiao Yao's earlier words, "Disciple, then you are not allowed to say I'm impure anymore!"
"Mhm, mhm!" Xiao Yao quickly agreed.
Afterward, everything began to normalize. Xiao Yao believed that with his current state, having activated Selflessness, defeating Xiao Ting would be easy.
However, to be safe, he still asked, "Master, please help me check Xiao Ting's current cultivation and strength?"
"Okay!" Dongfang Xuetong readily agreed, a satisfied smile gracing her pretty face.
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.
Many people knew this principle, but after achieving great improvement themselves, few could still keep it in mind!
After a moment's thought, Dongfang Xuetong's smile froze.
Xiao Yao immediately understood that the situation was not simple and asked, "Master, how is it?"
"Xiao Ting's current cultivation is at the Peak of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer, and his strength has reached the First level of the Mana Condensation Realm. It should be the result of the Shātu Demon Sage tempering him with demonic energy, but it is also the accumulation of Xiao Ting's cultivation over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate such strength and experience such a significant increase in cultivation and power."
Xiao Yao greatly approved of his Master's analysis, so he immediately used Selflessness and asked, "Master, what is my current strength?"
"Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer," Dongfang Xuetong replied.
There were only six days left. Even if his disciple's cultivation speed was fast, his improvement wouldn't be significant. At most, he could reach the strength of the Peak of Transcendent Realm Ninth Layer.
Fighting Xiao Ting with this strength would be no different than an egg hitting a rock.
So, she said, "Disciple, don't take the fight with Xiao Ting too seriously. Your future self will never be caught up to by him."
"Master, I know!" Xiao Yao did not try to be brave.
He knew better than anyone that success depends on one's own efforts, but he also yearned more than anyone to defeat Xiao Ting in the competition six days later.
"Master, I'm going to cultivate!"
With that, Xiao Yao returned to his room with a grim expression, which made Dongfang Xuetong feel very uneasy.
However, her disciple had only just begun cultivating. This was the time to build a solid foundation. If he were to use various methods to forcibly increase his strength, it would prevent him from reaching his peak cultivation in the future.
[Beep! Host, you haven't signed in for today yet!]
"Sign in!" Xiao Yao shouted inwardly, a little angry.
[Beep! Sign-in successful. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Sect Tier Flash Time Golden Fruit. This fruit can increase the Host's cultivation speed by ten times, and the effect will last until the Host reaches the Sect Realm cultivation.]
Ten times cultivation speed?
In other words, his cultivation time of the next six days would be equivalent to sixty days.
Enough!
It was definitely enough to defeat Xiao Ting!
Xiao Yao's eyes regained their brilliance, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.
