Isn't It Time You Called Me Master?

Half a month later, Yun Chen was finally "rescued" from the lightless secret chamber. Naturally, Qian Renxue was the one who let him out.

Ahem... Qian Renxue decided he had been punished enough, so she released him. Little Chenchen had survived his ordeal.

In Qian Renxue's study.

Qian Renxue watched Yun Chen read, a smile tugging at her lips. She was thoroughly satisfied with the half month they had spent in the secret chamber.

More than satisfied, in fact. She was a little frightened. She had never imagined that Yun Chen, a mere Soul Elder, could wear out a Soul Emperor like her.

For the first time, she understood just how formidable the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Martial Soul was.

At first, Yun Chen had meekly endured everything, like a wronged little boy being bullied by Qian Renxue.

Later, the little lamb had turned into a big bad wolf and taken charge. He had introduced Qian Renxue to all sorts of positions and shapes, greatly expanding her knowledge.

Things like swallowing Yun Chen's milk, squeezing it out herself, and having to move herself if she wanted to feel good.

And playing his maid, calling him Master, and a whole host of other things...

Yun Chen had learned all these tricks from websites in his previous life. He had never tried them, but he had seen enough to improvise. His first attempt with Qian Renxue had worked surprisingly well.

At the thought, Qian Renxue blushed. After all, she was still a young woman.

She had adapted quickly, though. Aside from the pain the first time, she had soon lost herself in it and enjoyed their pleasure together.

Her gaze softened when it fell on Yun Chen. It also held a possessiveness stronger than before, an undisguised heat.

They were a couple now.

Of course, they had not abandoned themselves to pleasure entirely. Yun Chen usually cultivated in the secret chamber while Qian Renxue handled her duties as usual. They met up at night.

"Little Chenchen, have you learned your lesson?"

Qian Renxue asked casually. Yun Chen looked up sharply at her beaming face, raised an eyebrow, and answered calmly.

"What? Isn't it time you called me Master? I never expected Sister Xue'er to be like that when we exercised..."

Before he could finish, Qian Renxue clapped a hand over his mouth. She was mortified and furious.

Looking at the boy nearly ten years younger than her, Qian Renxue felt like crying. Being teased by her little brother was mortifying indeed.

"Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore... You can sleep alone tonight!"

Qian Renxue spoke through flushed cheeks, then turned away and picked up her pen to deal with the work before her. The hand holding it trembled slightly.

Her petulant threat did nothing to intimidate Yun Chen. For a man, that kind of exercise felt incredible the first time, but the pleasure faded somewhat after doing it for so long.

To Yun Chen, it was all right. It certainly felt good—the dopamine was flowing, after all.

But Qian Renxue clearly enjoyed it even more. So who was really being punished by sleeping alone?

She had argued with Yun Chen more than once lately and told him to sleep by himself.

Yet every night, a little cat would sneak into his room, claim his bed, and boldly inform him that he was being punished and had no right to refuse.

Then they would tumble into another night of passion.

Like a Treasure-Seeking Mouse, he explored every promising cave on the treasure map, determined not to miss a single prize. Perhaps because the mouse's tunneling machine was rather large, it always stirred up plenty of groundwater.

But could he just keep digging? Of course not. The earth grew angry, its face turning red. Then it shook violently and sent jets of water spurting out, washing the Treasure-Seeking Mouse away.

Would the Treasure-Seeking Mouse give up? Of course not! He had put too much effort into finding the treasure. Braving the jets of water, he drove his tunneling machine back in and fired beam after beam until he finally found the treasure's location.

That only made the earth shake harder. Another jet of water erupted, and this time the Treasure-Seeking Mouse could no longer hold on.

Battered by the water, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse had no choice but to lie down and rest, exhausted. The earth quieted too.

"Oh, right. The finals of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament will be held at Spirit Hall in a couple of days."

"I'll attend as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Come with me and meet my family at Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue had suddenly remembered. Qian Daoliu had asked her to bring Yun Chen to meet him, but she had never found the chance, so the plan had gone nowhere.

Things were different now. She and Yun Chen were together, and this trip was more about introducing him to her family.

Yun Chen coughed lightly. Truth be told, he was nervous. Meeting a partner's family would be a first for him across both his lives.

After all, I'm the pig who stole their cabbage. No, wait. Maybe the cabbage came after this pig. That doesn't sound right either.

Yun Chen was getting confused. Which of them had taken the lead? Who had been led along? Who slept on top, and who slept underneath?

Seeing his hesitation, Qian Renxue's anger flared, though beneath it she felt terribly hurt.

Bastard! I've already given myself to you, and you're still hesitating over meeting my family?

Qian Renxue had always yearned for love, and Yun Chen was filling that void. Naturally, she hoped the two people closest to her could build a good relationship. If Yun Chen did not want that, it would break her heart.

"Sister Xue'er, don't be upset. I'm just nervous. You told me your grandfather is a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. I've never met anyone that powerful."

At that, Qian Renxue's expression eased, though she still shot Yun Chen a look.

Yun Chen did not mind. He chuckled and admitted what worried him most.

"And... your grandfather won't beat me up, will he?"

"Considering what we..."

Yun Chen grew embarrassed and trailed off.

"Go on. Why don't you dare say it? You were so bold just now. Didn't you want me to call you Master?"

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, plainly challenging him.

"Master."

Yun Chen blurted out the word. Qian Renxue's mind went blank. She froze, her face suddenly blazing red.

"What did you say? You bastard, get out!"

In the end, Qian Renxue threw Yun Chen out, leaving him helpless. For now, she could only say things like that during their private activities. She was not used to that sort of flirting in everyday life...

"It's fine. You'll get used to it someday."
