Rebellious Disciple, Marrying Qing Lin! [Seeking Follow-ups!]

???

Is this really what he should be considering right now?

How old is Qing Lin, anyway?

"System, Qing Lin hasn't reached adulthood yet, has she?"

[Absorbing the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils constitution will allow Qing Lin to reach adulthood prematurely; the Host need not worry.]

"I see." Hearing this, Xiao Ze nodded slightly.

He might not have been able to bring himself to act if she were still a young child, but it was fine; the System had found a way to make her an adult instantly, so he could take her as his wife with peace of mind.

"The System truly knows me best."

Regaining his composure, Xiao Ze nodded in satisfaction before taking a cultivation manual from his storage ring and placing it in her hands.

"My good disciple, consider this cultivation technique a welcoming gift from your master."

"From this day forward, you must cultivate diligently and not let down the painstaking efforts of your master."

"Yes, Master. Qing Lin will certainly follow your teachings," Qing Lin said, nodding vigorously.

Xiao Ding watched from the side, feeling deeply gratified.

Being favored by his third brother could be considered a good path for Qing Lin; the mercenary group was never really a suitable place for her.

Afterward, Qing Lin led him to the room prepared in advance for him to rest.

"Master, this is the room I have arranged for you. Please rest, and if you need anything, feel free to call for me; I will be right next door." Having said this, Qing Lin prepared to withdraw.

"No rush, Qing Lin. There is no need to be so reserved in front of your master. From the moment you became my disciple, it should be others who have to watch your expression," Xiao Ze instructed earnestly.

Qing Lin nodded slightly and whispered, "I understand, Master."

"Besides, since your master is idle anyway, why not take advantage of the moonlight for me to help you lay a foundation?" Following this, Xiao Ze guided Qing Lin to sit on the bed.

"This disciple will obey all of Master's instructions."

In the presence of a Dou Zong powerhouse, Qing Lin felt immense pressure and was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Seeing her reserved demeanor, Xiao Ze smiled. "Relax, cultivation is not as difficult as you imagine."

Qing Lin nodded.

"However, before we truly begin cultivation, I must first help you awaken your innate constitution," Xiao Ze continued.

"Constitution?" Qing Lin asked, puzzled. "Master, could it be that I possess a special cultivation constitution?"

She had naturally heard of constitutions; the Dou Qi Continent was vast, and many rare and powerful ones were rumored to exist.

But without exception, those who possessed them were powerhouses standing at the pinnacle of the continent.

Yet now, her master was saying that she also possessed such a constitution...

"That is correct. As a half-human, half-snake person, it is generally difficult to survive past the age of two, but there are always exceptions. You are that exception, possessing the extremely rare Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils constitution, only it has yet to awaken. Qing Lin, look into my eyes!" As Xiao Ze spoke, he channeled the Dou Qi within his body.

Qing Lin did not know what the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were, but she knew her master would never harm her.

As their gazes met, a primordial power from within her body was suddenly released ahead of time.

Deep within Qing Lin's pupils, three tiny, emerald-green dots gradually appeared under his stimulation.

Looking closely, these three green dots resembled three small flower buds, releasing a powerful suction force as if they could draw even one's soul into them.

Fortunately, he possessed the cultivation of a Dou Zong, so this influence was negligible to him.

Qing Lin could clearly feel a power awakening within her—a very powerful one, far beyond what she could control at her current stage.

"Master, I... I can't take it anymore!" Qing Lin cried out in pain.

"Is the Dou Emperor realm the limit?"

Xiao Ze controlled the force in his hands, limiting the awakened power to the Dou Emperor level.

Judging by Qing Lin's current constitution, the Dou Emperor realm was the limit; pushing any further would risk her body exploding.

Finally, under his precise control, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils were perfectly awakened, and Qing Lin reached the one-star Dou Emperor realm in a single bound.

Going from a frail young girl to a one-star Dou Emperor in just a few hours—if his eldest and second brothers knew of this, he wondered if they would die of envy.

"Master, is it over?" Feeling the surging Dou Qi within her, Qing Lin felt dizzy, as if she were intoxicated.

"Congratulations, Qing Lin."

Watching the reborn Qing Lin, Xiao Ze felt a sense of gratification.

At this moment, with the help of the System, Qing Lin had successfully reached adulthood.

Her once small frame was now slender and graceful, with soft shoulder lines and a waist that could be spanned by a single hand. Paired with her well-defined curves, she possessed both the innocence of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman.

Qing Lin slowly opened her beautiful eyes, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, she was utterly shocked; the change in her cultivation was nothing compared to the change in her appearance.

"Master, I... this?" Even her voice had matured significantly.

Qing Lin was in a state of complete bewilderment. She had only awakened a constitution; how could it have caused such a transformation?

"It is like this, Qing Lin: the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils within you are incredibly powerful, far beyond what you could have withstood at thirteen or fourteen. I took the liberty of using special means to age you by a few years; you won't blame your master for this, will you?"

As he said this, Xiao Ze felt a lingering sense of guilt in his heart.

When it came down to it, he was simply lusting after her body.

"Master... your disciple is too grateful to you to ever blame you." Looking at the exhausted expression on his face, Qing Lin felt deeply moved.

She knew that her master had sacrificed a great deal to help her.

"Thank you, Master."

The next moment, Qing Lin reached out her arms and pulled Xiao Ze into a tight embrace.

"Good disciple, this is only what a master should do." Xiao Ze gladly accepted his disciple's hug.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ze finally gathered his courage and looked at Qing Lin. "Qing Lin, are you willing to marry me?"

Although he didn't know how many times he had said these words, this was the first time he had spoken them in front of a disciple.

After all, this scene was just too damn cliché—a master marrying his own student.

But to his surprise, after a moment of hesitation, Qing Lin did not refuse; instead, she leaned in and kissed him.

A long while later, their lips parted, and their breathing grew increasingly heavy.

"I am willing, Master."

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for taking the SSS-grade Qing Lin as a wife. Hidden reward triggered...]

[Ding! Marriage reward issued: Heaven-tier Low-grade Dou Technique: Great Heaven Creation Palm (restriction ignored)!]

[Ding! Marriage dowry issued: Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake Soul!]

The system's voice echoed faintly, stirring his excited heart and trembling hands.

Xiao Ze never imagined that the system would actually reward him with a Heaven-tier Dou Technique!

One had to know that to unleash a Heaven-tier Dou Technique, one usually needed to reach the Dou Zun realm, and to fully unleash its power, one typically required the Dou Sheng realm or higher. Only by reaching the Dou Sheng realm could one truly master the ability to manipulate the power of heaven and earth, thereby providing the foundation to execute such a technique.

But he could ignore these restrictions and unleash it directly.

With the support of a Heaven-tier Dou Technique, he could even go toe-to-toe with a Dou Zun powerhouse.

And the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake Soul was also a treasure, perfect for nourishing Qing Lin's body.

The next moment, all guilt vanished from Xiao Ze's heart, and he lunged forward.

The two of them instantly tangled together.

That night, they did not sleep, and the sounds of passion continued like an unending melody.
