It feels like...

Li Sushang seemed to be more obedient than before, and she no longer tried to trick Ling Xi. She would finish her homework diligently every day, which made Ling Xi wonder if this silly girl had been switched at birth.

Because at this moment, Li Sushang gave people the feeling that...

She was Ciliate just a week ago, but now she's become the well-behaved Seele.

Furthermore, because she wasn't very literate, Li Sushang originally didn't like reading novels, but recently she seems to have started reading them, however...

When Ling Xi glanced at the novel on Li Sushang's phone, she was immediately stunned...

My domineering master fell in love with me

Master, please don't misbehave!

The story of how I married my apprentice.

Editing: Ranking of the Top Ten Master-Disciple Romances Across the Myriad Realms

National Destiny: Playing the Rebellious Disciple, Teammate, and Master

Love Simulator: Confess to Your Master at the Start

Ling Xi: "..." What the hell is all this? The smell is too strong...

Oh well, this girl's got plenty of free time anyway, so letting her read novels to pass the time won't hurt, even though these books don't look like anything serious. Speaking of which, why did I download all these when I was downloading novels...?

"Master, give up..."

That day, Ling Xi took Li Sushang to the lake at the top of the mountain to fish again, but they still came up empty-handed, and Li Sushang was getting a little bored...

"Sushang, didn't I teach you? Cultivation begins with cultivating the mind. Your mind... is in turmoil."

Ling Xi held the fishing rod, looking completely calm, like a hermit sage.

"Eh..."

Li Sushang scratched her head and said, "But... why did Master use Lightning Thousand Paths directly on the lake three days after the last air force operation?"

Ling Xi "..."

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Ling Xi resolutely refused to answer. For these fish, not using the pump was already the last bit of respect she could show to fishing.

"Cut..."

Li Sushang pursed her lips, too lazy to complain anymore. After all, her master was just like that. Not only was he bad at fishing, but he also had a huge addiction to fishing. He always came back empty-handed. Once, he finally caught a three-pound carp and kept circling around himself with the fish at least twenty times.

"Master, what would you like for dinner?"

Li Sushang spoke again, smiling, "I'm planning to go to the market later. Is there anything you'd like to eat, Master?"

"Anything made by Sushang is delicious."

Ling Xi wasn't picky about food, since she had everything she wanted in her System Space. Normally, she would just let Li Sushang arrange what she wanted to eat, since that girl was quite good at cooking.

"That..."

Li Sushang smiled slightly, then leaned gently against Ling Xi's chest and whispered, "Master, do you want to eat me? I'm delicious too."

"Yeah?"

Ling Xi gently stroked Li Sushang's hair, letting her rest her head on his lap, and said with a smile, "Since Sushang is so delicious, of course we should save her for last. So let's have some home-cooked food tonight."

"Oh..."

Li Sushang nodded obediently, but her goal had already been achieved, which was...

Rest your head on your master's lap!

Then she would strike a seductive pose, making her master unable to resist kissing her, and then... hehe.

Master was right; reading more books is indeed beneficial.

"Master..."

Then, Li Sushang chuckled softly, "That day... at the lantern festival, what Master did..."

Ling Xi "..."

"Ahem, what is it?"

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, but didn't really want to answer the question, after all...

If he were to answer directly, it would completely shatter the barrier between him and Li Sushang, and as for himself...

We must respond to her, either accepting or rejecting!

And he... obviously couldn't refuse, but...

Ling Xi didn't want it to be so soon, because Ling Xi preferred to leave Li Sushang for the future. If she got together with her now, they would eventually separate, and she would feel very sad once they separated!

It's like...

First it was Dr. Airi and her friends, then Cangxuan Danzhu and her friends, now it's Yae Sakura and Yae Rin, and in the future...

Ling Xi didn't want to experience that feeling again.

Therefore, Ling Xi has been restraining herself, not wanting to develop anything with Li Sushang so quickly, and trying her best not to fall in love with her, although... in the end, that is basically impossible.

"Ugh..."

Li Sushang immediately pouted and snorted, "Master said it himself, he always keeps his word and has the courage to admit what he has done. There's no way to run away from it!"

Ling Xi "..."

"So what do you want to say?"

Helpless, Ling Xi looked down at Little Li Zi, who was resting his head on her lap, and was somewhat speechless, but she was not annoyed at all. On the contrary, she actually quite liked it.

"Hey-hey..."

Li Sushang blushed slightly and whispered, "Master, you should take the initiative in times like this..."

After saying that, Li Sushang obediently closed her eyes. She... could no longer bear it!

Ever since that day, she's been fantasizing about when there will be a next time, but...

Their relationship hadn't changed at all this week, and he rarely even initiated conversations with her, so... she decided to give him a subtle hint, well... although it could be considered an explicit hint.

Ling Xi "..."

"Sushang..."

Looking at the little girl lying on top of him, Ling Xi was both amused and exasperated. Should he accept her, or pretend to hesitate for a moment and then accept her?

Ling Xi gently placed her left hand on Li Sushang's chin, lightly teasing it, and then...

"Sushang, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, Ling Xi sprang to her feet, gripped the fishing rod with both hands, and swung it forcefully, shouting, "Lift!"

In an instant, Ling Xi caught a red carp!

"Wow, Sushang, look! A red carp! And it weighs at least three pounds!"

Looking at the red reason in his hand, Ling Xi was very excited. After three months, he was finally not in the air again!

Li Sushang sat on the ground, looking at Ling Xi with a resentful expression. Why... is it different from what is written in the book?

"Hey... Sushang, don't be angry, we have dinner now, don't we?"

Seeing Li Sushang's resentful look, Ling Xi smiled awkwardly and quickly brought over the carp, saying with a smile, "Here, it's a pure, natural, pollution-free, completely organic carp. Let's eat this tonight."

"Whoosh..."

Li Sushang took a deep breath, then concealed the fleeting murderous intent in her eyes, and gave Ling Xi a sweet and charming smile. "Yes, I know, Master. I promise... I will prepare a sumptuous dinner for you!"

Chapter 573: Does Master have someone he likes?

In the evening, Ling Xi sat in her seat, staring at a plate of raw fish that hadn't even been properly sliced, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

"Master, please."

Li Sushang thoughtfully brought over wasabi sashimi soy sauce and said with a smile, "Purely natural, pollution-free, absolutely original raw fish slices, without any seasoning, completely healthy green food."

Ling Xi "..."

"I can understand sashimi, but..."

Ling Xi said, somewhat speechless, "I've never heard of using freshwater fish to make sashimi."

"Master, why did you want something so natural?"

Li Sushang pursed her lips and snorted, "After all, you value this fish more than I do, so of course I have to prepare the best dinner for Master, don't you think?"

Ling Xi: "..." This probably isn't the last supper...

Also, why does Li Sushang seem a bit off lately? Could it be that you've awakened the hidden master-killing soul within your bloodline?

However, Ling Xi had been through it all...

Yes, referring to Doctor, Fairy, Sakura, Seele, Klein, Aponia, Eden, Cangxuan, Danzhu, Yae Sakura, Yae Rin...

So we can roughly guess why Li Sushang did that; it's obviously because he pushed her away when they were serving the fish earlier, although...

This was also my own intention. After all, I really didn't want to get too close to Li Sushang right now, otherwise I was afraid I wouldn't be able to bear sending her into hibernation in the future, and...

Well, her mother is still alive in this era, so I'm too embarrassed to make a move. After all, I'm her grandmaster, how could I possibly do that?

"Hmph, here you go..."

Just as Ling Xi was pondering how to coax the girl, Li Sushang suddenly took away the sliced fish, then brought out the prepared dinner and quietly began to eat.

"Ah, you've worked hard..."

Seeing this, Ling Xi smiled. Sure enough, although this girl's personality differed from that in the story, she was still quite honest. She could recover on her own without needing to be coaxed.

So Ling Xi started eating dinner, and at the same time asked, "By the way, Sushang, what about that fish..."

Ling Xi felt that since she had caught the fish herself, it would be a waste to just cut it up and leave it uneaten. However, freezing it would worsen the texture and taste.

"We'll save it for the barbecue tonight."

Li Sushang smiled slightly and said, "I'll marinate it with the Old Fang Hua later, and then we'll grill it together tonight. How about that, Master!"

"Good..."

Ling Xi nodded decisively in agreement, while also feeling a bit wistful, as if...

Living with Li Sushang for so long has almost turned me into a useless person.

Li Sushang basically did all the cooking, housework, and other chores at home, while she herself...

Uh, no, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I can't live without Li Sushang. After all, this kind of life with someone taking care of you at home... is really great.

It's definitely much better than that immortal who eats steamed buns with a perpetually youthful appearance every day...

"Hmph... Hehe!"

A smile appeared on Li Sushang's face. Well, if force doesn't work, then she'll have to try a softer approach. As long as she stays by her master's side, takes good care of him, and turns him into a useless person who can't live without her, then...

Hmph, let alone being her apprentice, she could even be her wife.

Besides, it's just me and Ling Xi at home anyway, so this afternoon's failure was just an accident. I'll roast the culprit tonight and see if I can "rekindle my relationship" with my master!

At night, the two set up a grill on the edge of the cliff and chatted while grilling their late-night snack.

"Master, there's something I'm curious about."

Li Sushang leaned against Ling Xi asked her with some curiosity.

"What's the problem this time?"

Ling Xi was already used to the girl's curiosity, but in most cases, she would answer Li Sushang's questions herself.

"Mmm..."

Li Sushang asked softly, "By the way... how old are you, Master?"

"Well..."
