No Getting Entangled with Other Female Cultivators When You Go Out

When Qin Chuan heard that Shen Qingyuan had something to tell him, he immediately sat up straight and assumed an attentive posture. "I'll remember everything you tell me, Master."

Qin Chuan was so well-behaved that Shen Qingyuan almost couldn't resist patting his head again, but she still had enough sense not to reach out.

She studied the young disciple she had raised herself, then thought of how she had developed feelings of a different sort for him. Shame rose in her heart, and she turned her head, unable to face him.

Qin Chuan didn't understand why Shen Qingyuan had turned away again. He wanted to ask, but feared disturbing her, and several times the words died on his lips.

Shen Qingyuan kept repeating to herself, "We're only master and disciple." Only after dozens of breaths did she turn back around. But although she and Qin Chuan were master and disciple, it was normal for a master like her to show some concern for her disciple's love life.

Hmm... it's perfectly normal for a master to care about her disciple's love life. Shen Qingyuan had found herself another excuse.

So, without betraying her feelings, she began by asking the question she cared about most. "Chuan'er, I heard that Chu Lanqiu wants you to join Formation Peak and marry her daughter. What do you think?"

"Huh???" Qin Chuan was somewhat stunned. Was this what Shen Qingyuan wanted to tell him? Under her gaze, he hurriedly declared his stance.

"Master, I don't want to go to Formation Peak, and I don't want to become Dao companions with Chu Ling'er. I'll stay on Supreme Mystery Peak and be with you forever."

Qin Chuan wasn't a fool. Shen Qingyuan had first saved his life, then guided him in cultivation. Now, for his sake, she had even spent her own essence to forge a life-saving trump card. She had done things for him that even a father might not be willing to do for his own son.

Chu Lanqiu, on the other hand, had merely taken a fancy to his talent and to Shen Qingyuan as his backer. As for Chu Ling'er, she was even more foolish. How could she compare to Shen Qingyuan?

Between someone who treated him sincerely and someone who saw him as a source of profit, he didn't even need to think about whom to choose. Most importantly, he truly liked Shen Qingyuan.

Shen Qingyuan was very satisfied with Qin Chuan's answer. The corners of her lips curled up involuntarily, and her gaze softened even further as she looked at him.

"It's good that you understand. I wanted to warn you that Chu Lanqiu is ruthless. She's someone who could personally kill even her own Dao companion, so you must be careful not to let her deceive you. Besides, that Chu Ling'er isn't worthy of you."

In Shen Qingyuan's heart, no one but herself was worthy of Qin Chuan. The disciple she had raised was the best.

"I know, Master." Qin Chuan couldn't quite figure out what Shen Qingyuan was thinking now. Had his plan to slowly boil his master like a frog in warm water already begun to work? Or was this simply a master caring for her disciple?

It wasn't that Qin Chuan was being oversensitive and overthinking things. Shen Qingyuan's behavior was too much like that of a scumbag woman: she kept treating him well and secretly keeping an eye on him, and now she was even a little jealous of other female cultivators.

But whenever he drew close, she pushed him away again, keeping him at arm's length. She was just like a scumbag woman.

"Mm, it's good that you understand. When you go out, don't get entangled with other female cultivators. You're my disciple, so they're bound to have ulterior motives. If you run into a vicious one who uses you as a cultivation furnace and drains you, what will you do then?"

Shen Qingyuan had finally stated her purpose: to keep Qin Chuan away from other female cultivators. They all had ulterior motives; only she was sincere toward Qin Chuan.

"Yes, yes, yes. Only you truly treat me well, Master." Qin Chuan readily agreed. He wasn't interested in other female cultivators to begin with, only in their treasures and storage bags.

Shen Qingyuan was also very satisfied with his answer, and her smile grew more pronounced. Thinking of what she had to say next, she suddenly stood up and turned her back to Qin Chuan.

"Mm, remember what I've told you. I know that now you've grown up, you'll have other thoughts, but cultivation is more important. So before you reach Soul Transformation, you must not become infatuated with romance, nor may you lose your primal yang."

Shen Qingyuan had kept hypnotizing herself into believing that she and Qin Chuan were only master and disciple. But half a year ago, Chu Lanqiu's attempt to make Qin Chuan her son-in-law had changed her mindset. She couldn't accept Qin Chuan being with another female cultivator.

But this time, she had to enter seclusion and seek a breakthrough so she could deal with the Heavenly Dao that kept trying to strike Qin Chuan down. That meant she couldn't accompany him on his training journey.

Without her there to watch over him personally, what if another female cultivator lured Qin Chuan away? She absolutely couldn't accept that!

Qin Chuan finally caught on. Master was afraid another female cultivator would lure him away, so that was why she had warned him.

Master must like me!!!

At that thought, he sprang to his feet and grabbed Shen Qingyuan's hand, wanting to lay everything on the table. I'm going for it, going for it, going for it!!!

But Shen Qingyuan thought Qin Chuan's strong reaction meant he was unwilling, and her mood instantly plunged to rock bottom. She used a little too much force as she pulled her hand away, and the trace of pressure that leaked out sent Qin Chuan flying.

"Chuan'er!" Shen Qingyuan hurriedly caught Qin Chuan. Filled with self-reproach, she carefully checked him for injuries.

"Master, I'm fine. I'll devote myself wholeheartedly to cultivation. Women will only slow down my sword."

Qin Chuan hadn't managed to blurt out his confession in one breath, and now that breath had escaped him. His reason returned as well. If everything just now had been his own speculation, he would never have another chance.

Besides, Shen Qingyuan was a Late Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, while he was only at the Middle Golden Core Stage. The small measure of male pride in his heart also made him want to wait until his cultivation was close to hers, so that he would be worthy of her.

He would stick to plan A: slowly boil his master like a frog in warm water.

As for plan B, forcibly taking his master, he needed to start preparing for that too. If plan A failed, he would immediately carry out plan B. Hmm... he had to make thorough preparations, lest Master slap him to death before he even got a taste of the meat.

At that moment, Shen Qingyuan had checked Qin Chuan from head to toe. Once she was sure he was fine, she held him tightly in her arms to heal him.

The feeling of suffocation interrupted Qin Chuan's thoughts. Soft, soft, soft! This is bliss! If he had known that being pushed by Shen Qingyuan would bring such benefits, he could have her push him all day, every day. Please, Shen Qingyuan, ravage your young disciple to your heart's content.

Qin Chuan had already spent half a quarter of an hour in Shen Qingyuan's arms and had even secretly nuzzled against her. She was holding him so tightly that he felt his face must have been squashed out of shape, just like in an anime.

Another half a quarter of an hour passed. Worried that something had happened to Qin Chuan, Shen Qingyuan anxiously asked, "Chuan'er, are you hurt anywhere else?"

"No, no, I'm fine now."

Faced with Shen Qingyuan's question, Qin Chuan could only reluctantly leave her soft embrace. He also stole a glance at her towering twin peaks, which reminded him of the scene in the peach grove. White, white, white, so white...

His body reacted instantly. Afraid Shen Qingyuan would notice, he pressed down the unruly thing slightly, then hurriedly returned to their earlier topic to divert her attention.

"Master, my heart is set solely on cultivation right now. I'm going out to train so I can improve my cultivation too."

Sure enough, Qin Chuan had diverted Shen Qingyuan's attention. She smiled and nodded. "Mm, that's good."

"Also, don't go looking for trouble with Yun Yao and his fellow disciples for now. There's a very strange 'Heavenly Dao' protecting them. Wait until I've made my breakthrough before you go after them. By then, I'll be able to protect you, and no one will be able to hurt you."

"I know, Master." Qin Chuan loved Shen Qingyuan even more as he looked at her overflowing with domineering presence. Master, combined with the aura of someone in power, immediately gave him a sense of conquest.
