A Woman Three Thousand Years Older Earns You a Place Among the Immortals
At Crimson Flame Peak, Zhang Lingyun had gone to Skull Peak to learn martial arts, and Qing Mu and Zhang Yu were also absent. The disciples on the peak went about their own business, some cultivating, others taking care of miscellaneous tasks.
At this moment, a figure in Red Dress gracefully landed in front of a Heavenly Human Realm Soul Cultivator who was engrossed in practicing his sword.
It was Zhang Lingyun.
The disciple looked up and saw it was her; he was so frightened that his Soul Body trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down.
"Greetings, Peak Master!"
Zhang Lingyun was notorious for his ferocity and had never shown any kindness to the disciples of the peak.
But today, looking at the disciple kneeling on the ground, she didn't coldly rebuke him. Instead, she forced a smile, and her voice, unlike its usual icy tone, softened as she spoke:
"Hey, we're all old-timers in the village, why be so formal?"
Get up quickly.
"..."
Upon hearing that eerily gentle tone, the Heavenly Human Disciple felt his hair stand on end. Far from daring to rise, he lowered his head even further, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Peak Master, spare my life! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!!"
He didn't know what he had done wrong, but Zhang Lingyun's "abnormal" behavior sent chills down his spine. He felt that this was the calm before the storm, and that he was about to have his Soul Extraction and Refining at any moment!
Seeing this, Zhang Lingyun felt secretly anxious, but forced a gentle demeanor and tried to persuade her again:
"Get up! I'm not going to eat you..."
"Peak Master, spare my life!!"
The Heavenly Human Disciple was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and he kowtowed frantically.
Zhang Lingyun finally couldn't hold back anymore and got angry.
She forgot the Pink Skull's "gentle instruction" and instinctively reverted to her usual cold and piercing tone, saying sternly:
"I told you to get up—did you hear me?!"
This trick works very well.
The Heavenly Human Disciple trembled as he sensed his familiar Peak Master "returning." He was immediately relieved, scrambling to his feet and standing to the side, not daring to breathe.
"You scoundrel, I can't feel right if I don't curse you."
Zhang Lingyun muttered something helplessly, then turned and left.
But after taking a few steps, she remembered the Pink Skull's "teachings."
She took a deep breath, suppressed her coldness, and forced a stiff smile. Seeing the next disciple passing by, she greeted him with a "smile":
Good morning!
"Thump--!"
The disciple was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Peak Master, spare me! This disciple hasn't slacked off today!!"
"..."
Zhang Lingyun's lips twitched, and her smile froze on her face.
What the heck?!
The Pink Skull Cult's tricks are completely useless!
It seems... I still need to practice more.
She sighed, stopped "torturing" her disciples, and hurriedly returned to her room.
After closing the door, Zhang Lingyun faced the Bronze Mirror and continued studying the book "How to Make a Man Devoted to You - The Secrets of the Skull Bee" that Pink Skull had given her.
Her "unusual" behavior had already spread among the Crimson Flame Peak disciples.
"Is our Peak Master... out of his mind today?" A Young Wraith muttered, pointing to his head.
"You're young, aren't you?"
An old ghost who had lived for thousands of years stroked his beard, looking as if he had "seen through everything":
Isn't it obvious?
Our Peak Master is in love!
She's practicing showing her gentler side to her sweetheart!
"In love?"
Someone said with a bitter face:
"With our Peak Master's foul temper, she'd kill any man she sees. What man would dare to want her?"
"Far away, yet so close at hand?"
The old man glanced meaningfully in the direction of Zhang Yu's residence.
The others were all shrewd people who had lived for thousands of years, and they understood immediately. They suddenly realized what was going on, and their eyes lit up with a burning desire for gossip.
"Our Peak Master... really doesn't follow the usual path, going straight into Master-Disciple Love!"
"Exciting! So exciting!"
"This melon is enough for us to eat for three years!"
The crowd was buzzing with excitement.
Just then, Zhang Yu led Tiantian back to Crimson Flame Peak.
As soon as he landed, he saw a group of disciples gathered together, pointing and whispering about him with strange looks in their eyes.
An elderly woman stepped forward shakily, patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Young Peak Master, as the saying goes, 'A woman three years older than a man is like holding a gold brick; a woman three thousand years older than a man is like being among the immortals.'"
Older women have their advantages; they know how to care for others.
A middle-aged Soul Cultivator nearby also winked and made faces.
"That is!
Although our Peak Master is a bit old, his appearance and figure are still fresh from his Body Seizure!
If the Young Peak Master gets tired of it, we can simply have the Peak Master change the 'skin'. It's no big deal for us Soul Cultivator!
Yes, yes, yes!
Marrying a Soul Cultivator is like marrying countless beauties!
"If you see something you like, just Body Seizure and change its appearance, so you can have something different Tiantian. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, leaving Zhang Yu completely bewildered and looking utterly lost.
But he vaguely sensed something was amiss—this matter was related to Zhang Lingyun.
"Has something happened to my master...?"
Zhang Yu asked, puzzled.
"It's alright! It's alright!"
Everyone waved their hands repeatedly, laughing and joking.
"It's just a master-disciple relationship, nothing to us Devil Cultivator!"
"Young Peak Master, don't worry, we all support you!"
Looking at the group's suggestive and ambiguous expressions, Zhang Yu felt increasingly strange.
Without thinking too much, he hurriedly sent Tiantian back to his place and settled him in before heading straight to Zhang Lingyun's residence to see what had happened.
As soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Lingyun facing a Bronze Mirror, clumsily fiddling with her hair ornaments, sometimes frowning, sometimes pursing her lips, making various "gentle" and "cute" expressions in front of the mirror.
Upon hearing that someone had barged in without prior notice, Zhang Lingyun instinctively raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily:
"Who dares to be so bold as to trespass on my property—"
But when he turned around, he saw Zhang Yu.
She swallowed back the words she was about to say, a hint of panic flashing across her face as she hurriedly gathered the rouge, powder, jewelry, and hairpins spread out on the table—all of which had been "sponsored" for her by Pink Skull.
Only then did she suddenly remember the Pink Skull's instructions—
A woman should never be fierce; she must be either gentle or cute to make a man's heart flutter!
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, and forced out what she thought was a gentle and sweet smile, which was actually incredibly stiff. She pinched her throat and said softly:
"It was you... Zhang Yu... You... You're back?"
She originally wanted to call him "Brother" like Tiantian, since Zhang Yu was Zhang Lingyun's Eldest Brother, so calling Brother" wouldn't be wrong.
But in the end, he didn't open his mouth.
"..."
Looking at Zhang Lingyun, whose smile was distorted, whose tone was affected, and whose entire being exuded unease, Zhang Yu glanced at the rouge and powder on the table that clashed with her temperament. A sudden realization dawned on him—he finally understood.
The strange looks, ambiguous discussions, and meaningful "encouragement" from the Crimson Flame Peak disciples...
So that's where the problem lies!
His ruthless, Demonic Dao Master—
It seems like... she's really "learning" how to seduce men?!
And that "man"...
It looks like him?!
Zhang Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
The plot is developing...
Is something wrong?!
