Lin Ciyan's words made the girl's beautiful eyes widen.
Wang Dong'er was stunned. She stared blankly at Lin Ciyan, her pink-blue eyes filled with complex emotions...
Shock, embarrassment, panic, finally turning into a... sense of relief?
"But... but my uncles said we can't let anyone know I'm a girl..." she said softly, her voice filled with grievance.
"They said there would be danger..."
Lin Ciyan looked at her and his heart stirred slightly.
At this moment, Wang Dong'er was indeed completely different from the arrogant "young man" she had been before.
With her long hair cascading down her shoulders, she exuded a more gentle beauty and lost some of her heroic spirit.
Her stunningly beautiful face was flushed with shyness, and her pinkish-blue eyes were watery, making one want to protect her.
"With me, you can be your true self," Lin Ciyan said gently.
"Master will keep this a secret for you."
Wang Dong'er's eyes suddenly reddened.
She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall, but her forced composure only made her more endearing.
"Master... thank you..." she choked out.
"Besides my eldest and second uncles, no one has ever... been so good to me..."
Lin Ciyan stood up and walked up to her.
He was a head taller than Wang Dong'er, and when he looked down at her, he could clearly see her trembling long eyelashes.
"You are my disciple, it's only right that your master treats you well."
He reached out and gently rubbed Wang Dong'er's head.
He had done this move before, but back then Wang Dong was still a "teenager," and the feeling was completely different.
Now, the palm of my hand feels the smooth, silky touch of long hair, and the tip of my nose is filled with the fresh scent unique to young girls.
Wang Dong'er's body trembled slightly, but she did not dodge.
She looked up, her pinkish-blue eyes filled with trust. "Master... can I continue to cultivate with you from now on?"
"Of course," Lin Ciyan said with a smile, withdrawing his hand.
"But you'll have to be more careful in the future; you can't put your arm around other guys anymore."
Wang Dong'er blushed and muttered softly, "I didn't... it was just that we exchanged palm strikes when I was using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao."
At this point, she felt something was strange, since she had clearly fought Huo Yuhao when they enrolled.
She accidentally merged with Huo Yuhao's Soul Power.
Later, after encountering her "teacher," she began to feel resentful towards Huo Yuhao and was unable to fuse her Soul Power.
But one day, she suddenly felt that she could fuse Soul Power and use Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
She paused, realizing that this was likely caused by fluctuations in her Soul Power.
Let's not trouble the teacher for now, after all, the teacher is so "busy" right now...
As Dong'er's thoughts shifted, she would reminisce for a moment, then suddenly turn red.
Then, as if remembering something, worry flashed in her eyes. "Master, the energy in that egg... I think I only absorbed a small portion. Most of it is still stored in my body and needs to be digested slowly..."
Lin Ciyan didn't pay attention to Dong'er's changes, because for him now, as long as it wasn't someone like the Limit Douluo or the Divine Realm, they wouldn't affect him.
Lin Ciyan placed his hand on the girl's shoulder, sensed her for a moment, and nodded. "Indeed. You have now obtained a portion of the Ultimate Light attribute, but it is not yet stable and needs nurturing."
He thought for a moment and said, "For the next few days, come to my room every evening after dinner, and I will help you channel your energy. It will probably take about a month to fully absorb it."
Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"When has your master ever lied to you?" Lin Ciyan raised an eyebrow.
A bright smile bloomed on Wang Dong'er's face.
That smile seemed to light up the entire room.
Her long, light blue hair swayed gently with her movements, and her exquisite face became even more captivating with her smile.
She suddenly stepped forward and opened her arms to hug Lin Ciyan.
"Master... you're so kind..."
The girl's soft body pressed against me, carrying a fresh fragrance and warm body temperature.
Lin Ciyan stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and gently patted her back. "Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest. Remember, starting tomorrow, come over in the evenings."
"Mmm!" Wang Dong'er let go of her hand, took two steps back, and her face was still flushed.
She turned to leave, then remembered something and turned back to ask, "Master... what about my appearance... and the others...?"
"I will use my Soul Power to set up a barrier for you. In other people's eyes, you will still look the same as before." Lin Ciyan raised his hand, and a beam of Light of the Five Elements enveloped Wang Dong'er.
Wang Dong'er felt a thin layer of energy covering her body. Looking down, she saw that her school uniform had become loose again and her long hair had returned to its short length.
But she knew it was just an illusion.
My true self has been fully revealed before my master.
"Thank you, Master." She smiled sweetly, turned, and walked out of the room.
The moment the door closed, Lin Ciyan let out a long sigh of relief.
[Ding! The host has successfully helped the disciple acquire a portion of the Ultimate Light attribute, triggering the hidden achievement " Wise Teacher and Talented Disciple "! Reward: 10,000 points of Slacking Value! Current " Slacking Value: 387,630 points!]
[Ding! Detected a significant increase in disciple Wang Dong's trust in the host. Current trust level: 88% (Trust)! Reward: 5000 points of Slacking Value! Current " Slacking Value: 392,630 points!]
The system notification sounds rang in succession.
Lin Ciyan walked to the window, looked at the stars in the night sky, and smiled slightly.
Wang Dong'er...
This name suits her better.
A thoughtful look flashed in Lin Ciyan's eyes.
Dong'er's "eldest father" and "second father"...
Won't this attract that person's attention?
Thinking of this, Lin Ciyan's lips curled up as he looked at the two props he had long ago locked onto in the Slacker Shop...
Who cares? As long as it doesn't affect my ability to just laze around.
If you dare to come... I'll show you what a true " Slacker Immortal " is!
And at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, there is a gray castle built on a mountaintop.
Ancient and majestic, it exudes an aura of "standing at the summit".
Inside the castle, there is a spacious hall.
Two burly middle-aged men sat facing each other, raising their glasses to drink.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat had long, dark blue hair draped over his broad shoulders.
His eyes were also blue, seemingly simple when they opened and closed, yet containing an indescribable special quality.
He was dressed in a white, fitted outfit that covered his imposing figure, and held a large wine glass filled with amber-colored wine.
Sitting at the lower end of the table was a burly man with short hair.
His short hair was as fine as steel needles, and he had a dignified appearance with a resolute face as if carved by a knife and axe. His brown-yellow eyes gleamed with a faint golden light.
The two of them, simply by sitting there, exuded an aura of imposing power.
Sudden...
Both of them shuddered simultaneously!
He suddenly stood up!
In that instant, it was as if four bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the entire hall.
Two streaks of turquoise, two streaks of brownish-yellow!
An aura of terror erupted, causing the palace-like hall to creak and groan!
"It's Xiaodong!"
The burly man let out a low growl, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
He raised his right hand, and intense golden light burst forth from his palm!
Immediately afterwards, nine jet-black Soul Ring rose up from beneath his feet!
Nine ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!
The black ring was thicker and more imposing than an ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. The Sixth Soul Ring shone brightly, and golden patterns quickly outlined in front of him.
"Wait a minute." The burly man with blue hair suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on the burly man with short hair, actually suppressing his terrifying aura.
"Brother, Xiaodong might be in danger!" the short-haired burly man said urgently.
The burly, blue-haired man shook his head. "It's alright. It should be fine. My intuition is usually right."
"We shouldn't interfere too much with Xiaodong's growth."
The short-haired, burly man, like a fierce tiger protecting its cubs, exclaimed, "No, I'm still not at ease! How about I go to the Shrek Academy and go with her?"
The burly, blue-haired man smiled, "You're just too worried. How about this, we'll send more people from various sects to investigate. Second brother, when are you going to change this impulsive nature?"
"Hmph! What's there to change?" the short-haired, burly man grumbled, picking up his enormous wine glass and downing it in one gulp.
"Ever since... never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's drink!"
The burly, blue-haired man shook his head helplessly. "You... you..."
The short-haired, burly man put down his glass, his fierce expression turning worried again. "Brother, is she really alright?"
The burly man with blue hair placed his wine glass on the small table beside him, moved his arms, and his bones cracked and popped.
"I know you want to go. Here's the deal: as long as you beat me, I won't interfere. It's up to you. How about that?"
"No way... You're just trying to have your fun with me again, I'm not falling for it." The short-haired burly man sneered.
The burly, blue-haired man chuckled and said, "Come on, want to have some fun?"
"Brother, I think you should find a woman." The short-haired, burly man rolled his eyes.
