Another Day of Physical Enlightenment

While Tang Yu was constantly following Qiu Xiaozhu around, courting disaster.

Ye Qiu was engrossed in his cultivation under the waterfall, forgetting to eat or sleep.

After following the Second Elder Qiu Fenghan to select several ancient martial arts techniques.

He is studying diligently and working hard to break through to the Celestial Realm within a month.

He now has an almost obsessive desire for higher realms.

The reason is simple: once you enter the Celestial Realm, it's not just about becoming stronger.

Similarly, he will have the opportunity to take the position of elder.

In the Nine Heavens Alliance, one of the essential requirements for becoming an elder is to be at the Celestial Realm.

Once he becomes an elder, he will be considered to have entered the core of the Nine Heavens Alliance, at which point he can execute the most crucial step of the plan.

But before that, he needs to make sure about one thing.

My aunt couldn't stop me.

As the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Alliance, she holds a transcendent position and is at the heart of this plan.

"Fortunately, she is quite close to me because of her mother. She is extremely lonely and has no children. If I can make her treat me as her own son, she probably won't interfere with my plans in the future."

Ye Qiu silently recited in his heart.

Little did he know that if Qiu Xiaozhu truly regarded him as her own son...

Then it seems he can't escape having a cheap, unpaid father.

After being promoted to an inner disciple, their conditions and benefits increase significantly in all aspects.

There will also be even more things to do.

For example, disciples must complete three tasks each month; missing even one is unacceptable.

These tasks aren't about fighting or killing. The Nine Heavens Alliance is focused on cultivation and avoids worldly strife; the tasks are all about training their disciples.

Some of these tasks involved going into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, clearing wasteland, or dealing with wild animals in the surrounding area.

Occasionally, there will be some missions to go out, and these missions are highly sought after by inner disciples.

After all, staying in the Nine Heavens Alliance all the time gets incredibly boring after a while.

After being notified to receive a mission, Tang Yu thought for a while and then chose a mission to collect herbs in the mountains.

The Nine Heavens Alliance is surrounded by mountains, and there are abundant wild medicinal herbs all around.

Tang Yu also wanted to see if there were any rare medicinal herbs, so he could bring some back and give them to Wang Defa to grow on his farm.

After learning that Tang Yu had chosen the herb-gathering task.

Qiu Xiaozhu raised an eyebrow and said, "You've got some nerve, choosing such a troublesome task right off the bat?"

"Isn't gathering herbs quite simple?"

Tang Yu, who was squatting by the well washing vegetables, chuckled.

"That deep mountain forest stretches for hundreds of miles. If you, who are unfamiliar with this place, go there to gather herbs, you'll get lost and become a savage. There was an unlucky disciple who went in and got lost before, and he was trapped for more than half a year before he was found and brought out."

Qiu Xiaozhu said irritably, "Why is this kid always causing me so much trouble?"

"Would Master accompany me?"

Tang Yu looked at Qiu Xiaozhu expectantly.

"Why should I go with you? It's not my job."

"But I'm your disciple. If I were lost, you would feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of your life. You don't need to deny it; I know you're that kind of person."

Qiu Xiaozhu just chuckled coldly twice.

Tang Yu stopped washing the vegetables, wiped the water off her hands, and ran to Qiu Xiaozhu's side, half-squatting down to massage her shoulders.

"Master, please come with me. I'll massage your shoulders and legs every day."

Qiu Xiaozhu calmly enjoyed Tang Yu's extremely professional massage.

After about ten minutes, she finally grumbled, "Fine, I'll go with you out of pity."

"Master is indeed beautiful, kind-hearted, and compassionate."

Tang Yu, looking grateful, rubbed her master's back and then asked...

"By the way, where's Senior Brother Ye? Why haven't we seen him these past few days?"

"You think he's like you? He doesn't like to cultivate at all. He's improving every day, and it probably won't be long before he breaks through to the Celestial Realm."

Qiu Xiaozhu's tone became somewhat displeased again.

This fool spends all his time circling around himself, and his cultivation is basically all just a charade.

Occasionally, when he was seen diligently cultivating, he would return to his small bamboo hut, light a stick of Heart-Questioning Incense, and say that he wanted to temper his will.

What annoyed her most was that this kid had tried to scam the inner disciples several times.

They even deliberately target people of the same skill level to stage accidents, and then get into a fight afterward.

If you win, take the opponent's Focus-Settling Pill and make them exchange it for Heart-Questioning Incense.

As for losing...

It seems I've never actually seen this kid lose to any inner disciple of the same cultivation level.

"By following my master, I can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts simply by observing the aura of the Great Dao that flows from his every move. This is first-rate cultivation."

Tang Yu said in a deep voice.

Despite saying that, Tang Yu didn't let her guard down around Ye Qiu at all.

He placed a dung beetle in Ye Qiu's room to monitor the guy, and had also prepared several crows to keep an eye on him. However, out of boredom, he manipulated the crows to defecate on Ye Qiu's head, and Ye Qiu killed them all with Stone.

After monitoring him for a period of time, Tang Yu discovered that this guy was cultivating every day as if he had gone mad.

However, there was one occasion when he was resting in his room.

He muttered that he must break through to become an elder as soon as possible, which made Tang Yu quite concerned about it.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Master, how can one become an elder?"

"You? You should break through to the Celestial Realm first."

Qiu Xiaozhu impatiently draped her fair, slender thighs over Tang Yu's legs, asking him to massage them.

After Tang Yu massaged her for a while, Qiu Xiaozhu leaned back in her chair, covered her face with a book, and simply dozed off.

Tang Yu bent down, pressed the gun down, and continued working.

Oh, Master's legs are so smooth and smell so good.

After dinner, I'll Heart-Questioning Incense to test myself and try to resist my master's temptations in the illusion this time.

Now that they've been living together for a while, they've gradually gotten used to each other and eat all three meals together.

After finishing her meal, Qiu Xiaozhu sat at the table, let out a satisfied burp, and patted her slightly round belly.

Why do I feel like I've gained some weight after eating with this guy?

She lifted her clothes up a bit, revealing that her once flat stomach had actually gained a little bit of flesh.

Tang Yu glanced at it secretly and couldn't help but find it amusing.

[I was just saying, Master has been eating more and more lately.]

My belly has gotten a little bigger.

What if others misunderstand?

[What if they say I got my master pregnant? Who can I complain to then?]

Qiu Xiaozhu's face darkened. She pulled down her clothes and glared at Tang Yu.

"You don't have anything to say about the extra weight I've gained on my stomach?"

"My disciple's daily meticulous cooking has finally paid off, and I am very pleased."

Tang Yu smiled innocently.

"Oh? I have a feeling you're thinking about some random things, like how I got Master pregnant or something?"

Qiu Xiaozhu clenched her fist.

"Master, you're innocent! I'm not that kind of person!"

Tang Yu was shocked and tried to argue, but Qiu Xiaozhu grabbed her, threw her out of the house, and then kicked her.

He spun around in a starfish shape dozens of times before flying out of the yard and crashing into the sea of flowers, crushing and killing a bunch of plants.

After getting up from the ground, Tang Yu patted the dust off his clothes and sighed.

"Master still showed mercy. It seems I have become Master's weakness. Once Master accepts this weakness of mine, she will be invincible."

"(ノ`Д)ノGo away!!!"

Qiu Xiaozhu's roar echoed from the courtyard.

Soon, she came out with a stick and began to physically enlighten her vengeful disciple.
