Just as Wen Zhuo was being driven to the brink of insanity by her own disciple’s logic, she suddenly felt a chilling killing intent lock onto her, making her feel as if needles were piercing her back…
She spun around sharply, only to find the source of that killing intent—Ye Li.
Wait.
Ye Li?
“You… what are you doing?”
Wen Zhuo instinctively took a step back.
“You… I… I haven’t offended you, have I?”
As she spoke, she even reached back to cover her own rear.
She didn’t want to get spanked by Ye Li again…
At least…
Not in front of her own disciple…
“Take your people…”
Ye Li stared coldly at her, her voice dripping with undisguised frost.
“And get out.”
Hearing this, Wen Zhuo’s anger flared instantly.
Oh, really?
You’re the one who’s angry?
I’ve been raising this precious cabbage for years, and she’s throwing herself at some random pig!
I’m the one who should be furious!
Why are you taking it out on me?!
You’re the Ice Glass Fairy!
And I’m the Blazing Flame Fairy!
“Hmph!”
She snorted, then grabbed Shen Jingge.
“I’m not leaving!”
With that, she leaped into the air with her beloved disciple.
So what if she was at the late Mahayana Stage?
Even if she was only at the late Integration Stage, she still wouldn’t listen to her!
Telling me to get out?
I’m flying!
“Master, I—”
“Shut up!”
Wen Zhuo was now both ashamed and furious. She looked down at Shen Jingge with bitter disappointment.
“I’ll deal with you when we get back!”
How embarrassing!
Her own personal disciple was throwing herself at some random pig!
And at that woman Ye Li’s sect, no less!
Right in front of Ye Li!
The last shred of dignity she had left after being spanked by Ye Li all those years ago was now completely gone!
Shen Jingge wanted to say she still needed to repay her debt of gratitude, but when she thought about her injuries…
Well, she’d go repay it after she recovered.
At least she already knew the other party was at Xuantian Sect.
Meanwhile, after Wen Zhuo and Shen Jingge left, Ye Li locked her icy, piercing gaze onto Luo Xing.
“M-Master…”
Luo Xing stammered.
“I… that…”
But before he could even speak, he felt the world spin around him.
When he came to his senses, he found himself inside a guest room on the flying vessel’s cabin.
Huh?
How did he get back here?
What about the Millennium Ice Marrow in the ice cave?
What about his Liuguang?
“Speak. What happened?”
Ye Li sat sideways on the couch, her cold and exquisite face like ten-thousand-year frost, her voice as icy as ice. One could even hear the suppressed anger in her tone.
Luo Xing could clearly feel the cold aura radiating from Ye Li.
Anger?
Wait.
Was she angry?
Why was she angry?
But Luo Xing also knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on why Ye Li was upset. He quickly explained the entire sequence of events.
“Master! This is what happened…”
At the same time, Hong An, Han Feiyu, and Li Changshou stood in the snow, exchanging bewildered glances after watching the parties involved leave one after another. The howling wind couldn’t mess with their emotions any further, because they were already confused enough…
“Senior Brother Hong…”
Han Feiyu asked Hong An with a dazed look.
“What… what do we do now?”
What to do?
He wanted to ask the same thing.
“How about…”
Li Changshou turned back to look at the ice cave emitting a blue glow.
“We go get the Millennium Ice Marrow first…”
Since we’re already here anyway…
“Mm…”
Hong An nodded wearily.
“Let’s go get the Millennium Ice Marrow first.”
Luo Xing already had a portion of Ice Marrow, so the training mission was essentially complete. When he brought the Millennium Ice Marrow back and credited Luo Xing for leading the way, giving him some credit, it wouldn’t betray the Sect Master’s trust.
After all, it was Hong An who had crushed the communication jade slip and called Ye Li here, which saved their lives…
On the other side.
Slender fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the couch. The tips of her fingers touched the thousand-year black iron wood, producing a dull, rhythmic sound.
Luo Xing wanted to explain further, but when he saw Ye Li’s cold gaze, he swallowed the words that had reached his throat.
“That’s what happened…”
Luo Xing succinctly repeated the story.
“Master, I… I really wasn’t…”
Good…
Saving someone?
Saving another woman?
Using the “Shadow-Chasing Steps” technique to save her.
Using a spirit sword that she had personally commissioned and infused with a trace of Tyrant Sword intent.
She never realized her rebellious disciple was this kind-hearted. And this capable, too.
At the mere mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, he dared to save a cultivator at late-Nascent Soul Realm.
He really had grown quite a bit…
Ye Li raised her eyes to look at Luo Xing, saying nothing, showing no expression.
Like a beauty carved from ice, she simply stared at him silently.
Luo Xing: “…”
Master!
Could you please say something?!
I can’t read that look in your eyes!
“You want it?”
“What?”
Ye Li stopped tapping the armrest, then spoke coldly with a blank expression.
“She said she would repay your life-saving grace with her virginity.”
“You want it?”
“No! I don’t want it! Master, you have to believe me!”
Hearing this, Luo Xing immediately waved his hands frantically.
“No… no, no, no. I even rejected her request to marry herself to me…”
What kind of joke was that?
He believed in true love.
No matter how beautiful Shen Jingge was, he would never accept that kind of repayment.
Wait.
Why was Ye Li asking this?
Why did he feel the need to tell her not to misunderstand?
Why did this atmosphere feel so strange?
“So even if you refused, it was still unnecessary.”
Ye Li said coldly.
“She never planned to marry herself to you in the first place.”
Besides, it was true that he had rejected the marriage proposal.
But she remembered that when Shen Jingge later said she would repay Luo Xing’s life-saving grace with her virginity, Luo Xing hadn’t immediately refused at that moment.
Luo Xing’s face stiffened.
“Well… Master, I was shocked at the time…”
After all, meeting someone like that, anyone would be too stunned to speak…
“Shocked?”
Ye Li finally showed a different expression on her face, sneering.
“Oh?”
“Shocked is a lie. Overjoyed is the truth, isn’t it?”
“But when you acted to save her, you were quite bold.”
Luo Xing: “…”
Why do you have to latch onto this?
He thought it was just a third-tier Ice Soul Giant Ape at the time, so he dared to rush in and save her.
If he had known beforehand that it was a fourth-tier Frost Giant, would he have dared to go up there?
“Master, you have to believe me—”
Luo Xing explained with a bitter expression.
“This… this really was an accident…”
“Whether it was an accident or not, I will be the judge of that.”
Ye Li said coldly.
“Let me ask you this. That matter of Shen Jingge repaying you…”
“What are your true thoughts?”
Agree?
Or refuse?
She wasn’t some little girl who hadn’t even reached a hundred years old, so she clearly knew what kind of repayment Shen Jingge was talking about…
And Ye Li was certain.
She did not want to see that happen.
As for why…
If she had to put it into words, it was like having her own bonded spirit sword polished meticulously by another sword cultivator…
And by a female sword cultivator, no less, who even infused her own sword intent into the blade…
Ye Li couldn’t accept something like that.
“Refuse!”
Luo Xing blurted out without hesitation.
“Master! I never even thought about her repaying me!”
Damn it!
He was targeting Wen Zhuo, so how did he end up entangled with Shen Jingge?
Why didn’t this happen in the original novel?
Could it be because in the original story, the Luo Han who helped Shen Jingge was female, so she came up with this kind of repayment method?
After hearing Luo Xing’s assurance, Ye Li glanced at him and said:
“Did you collect the Ice Marrow?”
Luo Xing nodded repeatedly, taking out his portion of Ice Marrow.
“Yes! Yes!”
“Then your training mission is complete.”
Ye Li stood up, tossing these words at Luo Xing.
“From now on, stay here until the time is up.”
Then, she cast a mocking glance at him and sneered:
“Or…”
“Do you want to go save a few more female cultivators and let them repay you by giving themselves to you?”
Luo Xing: “…”
Do you have to keep harping on this?
