“Qinghan just reached Foundation Establishment Realm. Are you feeling unwell?” Su Cheng placed the chicken soup on the table and had even specially swapped Ye Qinghan’s supplements with some Immortal Pills, afraid she might have overexerted herself during the breakthrough and damaged her body.
[Yesterday, I saw you drenched in sweat. You looked like you were in so much pain. It really worried me!]
“I do feel unwell!”
“Huh? Quickly tell me what’s wrong!” Su Cheng immediately sat beside Ye Qinghan, removed his apron, and looked at her with deep concern.
“Disciple feels unwell~” Ye Qinghan covered her chest with her jade-like hand, her eyes dull and lifeless. Her alluring neck seemed barely able to support her heavy fox head.
“Huh? Where does it hurt?” Su Cheng asked.
Ye Qinghan pulled her master’s hand and placed it on her chest, leaning against Su Cheng’s shoulder as she said, “My chest feels tight, my limbs are weak, my head is dizzy, and I’m bleeding from all seven orifices…”
[What? So soft… Ahem! I mean—so serious!]
[Quick, give Qinghan two Fast-Acting Fox Rescue Pills!]
Ye Qinghan had taken these pills before. They had no side effects. As long as her master dared to give them, she dared to take them.
Su Cheng quickly pulled his hand back. This National Server Daji in front of him… he couldn’t afford to provoke her. Even though Su Cheng’s skills were powerful, his constitution was fragile! Once controlled, the consequences would be irreversible.
Ye Qinghan narrowed her fox eyes, a cunning glint flashing through them. She leaned in and rested in her master’s embrace.
“Can Qinghan rest in Master’s arms for a while?” she asked, but she had already done it before even finishing the sentence.
First time taking in a disciple—how was he supposed to handle this kind of situation? Need answers fast—it’s urgent!
“Master, I’ve caused you trouble…” Ye Qinghan whispered.
“It’s fine. Qinghan is my disciple. How could it be considered trouble?” Su Cheng replied.
[Such an understanding disciple! And I even had those kinds of thoughts! Damn it, I deserve to die!]
Ye Qinghan paused for a moment. Those kinds of thoughts? Oh, Master, you’re thinking the same as your disciple! We’re on the same page!
Master doesn’t deserve death. The one who deserves it is the disciple seducing her master! But then again, admitting faults without correcting them is the nature of us fox demons! That’s just who we are.
Cultivating isn’t nearly as fun as being with Master. Getting close to him is just a means to an end anyway.
This time, Ye Qinghan was “internally injured,” and since Su Cheng had no cultivation level, he couldn’t see through it anyway. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Ye Qinghan enjoyed the comfort for a long time. After her HP was fully restored, she finally let go of her master and sat with him to eat.
“Right, Master, the secret realm is about to open.”
“Mmm. I’ve long prepared for that. The secret realm is extremely dangerous. I’ve prepared twelve sets of strategies for exploring it, each with backup plans and emergency responses.”
Uh… Ye Qinghan honestly hadn’t taken it that seriously. Right now, she even felt confident enough to go kill Cheng Liang herself…
“Master, if I rely on you for everything, how can I become stronger? I just want you to come with me.” Ye Qinghan said.
[My precious Qinghan! So understanding it breaks my heart! As long as my darling asks, forget the secret realm—even if it were death itself, I’d walk right into it without blinking!]
“You hope for Master to be by your side?”
Ye Qinghan froze for a moment. That wasn’t exactly it. She was just afraid something might happen to him if she weren’t around…
“Yes. If Master is with me, I won’t be afraid of anything!”
Since Su Cheng was going, they had to set off early. He selected two fast horses and, carrying the Chaos Bell, departed with Ye Qinghan five days in advance. Along the way, they traveled leisurely, eating delicacies and singing songs until they arrived at the location of the secret realm.
The secret realm was located in the Eastern Region, already beyond the Human Emperor’s domain in the Southern Region. The area was mostly occupied by other races—pointy-eared elves, horned demons, and spirit beasts that had taken humanoid form. Here, laws didn’t exist. Everything relied on trust, strength, and background.
Even so, in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, the supreme laws of the Heavenly Dao still had to be obeyed.
Around the entrance of the secret realm, one could hardly see other races. If any were present, they must have had extremely powerful backing.
Those standing before the secret realm’s gate all appeared dignified and refined, but in Ye Qinghan’s eyes, they were nothing more than beasts wearing clothes.
At least fox demons knew to repay kindness. But what about humans? Her mother had been killed by a man she once saved. Even after her death, her fur was stripped and her fangs extracted—turned into so-called heavenly treasures!
In this world, only Master was a good person. Though she didn’t know much about Su Cheng’s identity, it didn’t really matter!
All around the secret realm, small groups occupied various hills—some were sects, others families—but all of them were influential figures.
Cheng Liang was naturally among them. But Qiao Yun definitely wasn’t.
Sect Masters, patriarchs, and family heads were gathered together, chatting casually about recent events.
Ye Qinghan: Sixteen years old, royal-blooded fox demon, born with a naturally seductive aura.
Record: She easily repelled the top disciple and Second Elder of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion working together. That very night, she massacred the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect, burning, killing, looting—even digging up the ancestors’ graves.
Who wouldn’t be terrified of such a fearsome woman?
Su Cheng led Ye Qinghan directly toward the group of powerful figures. Whether they were truly powerful, Su Cheng didn’t know. But at the very least, none of them looked like people who’d be picking through vegetable leaves at a market…
“Brother Cheng!” Su Cheng clasped his fists with a friendly smile.
Among the gathered patriarchs and family heads, Cheng Liang also returned the gesture respectfully, “Brother Su!”
Ye Qinghan, of course, wouldn’t embarrass her master. If she were alone, she wouldn’t treat this bunch as human. But right now, she wasn’t a demonic villain—she was the obedient chief disciple.
Roles mattered. As the eldest disciple, she couldn’t let her master lose face.
“Younger generation Ye Qinghan greets the various patriarchs and sect masters.” She spoke politely, but had no intention of actually bowing. These people didn’t deserve it!
After speaking, she stood obediently beside Su Cheng, clearly unwilling to waste time chatting with this group.
Cheng Liang was stunned. Wasn’t Ye Qinghan still the same obedient girl as before? She didn’t seem any different. Were all those rumors really about her?
And seeing her stand beside Su Cheng made him genuinely angry. If not for the crowd, he might have killed Su Cheng on the spot!
That useless man stole his woman! A top-tier talent like that should’ve been his!
“Sect Master Su is truly blessed. This girl has the potential to become an Emperor. With the right training, her future will be limitless.”
The speaker was the Third Elder Shi Mingyi of the Sacred Mountain. Rumor had it that the Saintess of Sacred Mountain would also be arriving at the secret realm this time.
[Heh, clearly you’re just too idle, babbling nonsense! My disciple needs your guidance? You think you’re fit to ‘train’ her?]
Su Cheng smiled and calmly replied, “Elder Shi must be joking. I had no intention of interfering in the mortal world. Had she not shown such sincerity in her request, I never would have taken her as my disciple.”
Ye Qinghan grumbled in her heart, Hmph~ Of all Master’s qualities, that mouth of his is the toughest!
