“This…” Leng Qingshuang’s eyes widened with rage as her Ice Soul Sword flew out of its sheath. “Qin Fan! You’ve gone too far! How dare you commit such a beastly act!”
Zhao Wanqing’s pretty face turned crimson with anger as she formed hand seals. Three flying swords rang out in unison. “Today, I must avenge our Aunt!”
The other Senior Sisters also stepped forward one after another, each filled with righteous fury, as if they couldn’t wait to tear Qin Fan limb from limb.
Only Xia Qingyue stood silently at the side, a flicker of doubt flashing through her beautiful eyes. She had a feeling things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
Seeing this, Qin Fan was secretly thrilled.
This time it was solid! He deliberately put on a remorseful expression. “I, Qin Fan, momentarily lost my mind and was driven by lust. I dared to have improper thoughts toward Aunt. I deserve death! I accept the punishment!”
As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at Xiao Hongling’s reaction, giddy inside. Hurry up and explode! Bring that old man Immortal Yuquan here already!
To his surprise, Xiao Hongling looked slightly startled but didn’t get angry right away.
“Enough!” A dignified voice descended from the sky.
Immortal Yuquan stepped in, his face dark as ink.
Qin Fan was ecstatic. He’s here, he’s finally here! Blow up already! Hurry up and expel me from the Sect!
Immortal Yuquan’s gaze swept between the two before finally landing on Xiao Hongling. “My wife, what is going on here?”
Xiao Hongling suddenly smiled gently and placed her hand on Qin Fan’s shoulder. “Husband, you’re just in time. Fan’er just helped me break free from a serious inner demon problem.”
Qin Fan was completely dumbfounded. “What the hell is going on???”
Inner demon?
Where did that come from?
And where’s her temper?
Why isn’t she blowing up?
Something felt terribly off.
Suddenly, it hit him like a bolt of lightning. “I get it!”
It was the “Inner Demon Immunity” buff the system gave him by glitch. And it mistakenly worked on Xiao Hongling!
“Damn!” Qin Fan wanted to cry. “System bro, you just ruined my entire plan!”
“What?!” everyone present gasped.
“These past days, I’ve been plagued by inner demons, and my cultivation couldn’t improve. If it weren’t for Qin Fan just now, I would’ve already fallen into the demonic path and lost myself,” Xiao Hongling said calmly. “So, this time, I really must thank Fan’er.”
Fan’er?
Hearing the intimate tone, Qin Fan started panicking, “No! Aunt, you—”
Xiao Hongling secretly pinched his waist and transmitted her voice directly into his ear, “Little rascal, behave. You’ve helped me so much. How could I let your Master misunderstand you?”
[Ding! Xiao Hongling Favorability +50]
Hearing the prompt, Qin Fan was utterly speechless. It was over! He had just gotten tangled with Xia Qingyue, and now he was caught up with Xiao Hongling too. How was he supposed to get expelled from the Sect at this rate? You are reading on novelping dot com, the official source.
Immortal Yuquan frowned. “My wife, about this matter…”
“You don’t believe me?” Xiao Hongling’s eyes reddened suddenly. “Am I in your eyes just a shameless woman without virtue?”
“No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood.” Immortal Yuquan quickly waved his hands, then turned and glared at Qin Fan. “Since your Aunt has pleaded for you, we’ll let this matter go. Consider it as atonement through merit.”
Qin Fan exploded on the spot. “Immortal Yuquan! Atonement?! Are you even a man?! Your wife got touched and you’re just letting it slide?!”
“Insolence!” Immortal Yuquan roared. “One more word of nonsense, and don’t blame me if—”
Qin Fan’s eyes lit up, “Do it! Hurry up and punish me!”
Immortal Yuquan was so furious even his beard curled. “You…!”
“Husband!” Xiao Hongling suddenly called out sweetly, “Fan’er is young and impetuous, careless with his words. How about… we let him move into the side courtyard of Tranquil Heart Pavilion for the next few days? I’ll personally discipline him.”
“What?!” the Senior Sisters gasped in unison.
Tranquil Heart Pavilion was near their own Cultivation Residences. Wouldn’t that make it easier for this lustful devil to do evil?
But Xia Qingyue’s gaze sparkled slightly. If Aunt was willing to teach him personally, perhaps Qin Fan’s condition would improve.
Immortal Yuquan’s face shifted through several colors before he finally nodded, “Fine, fine. We’ll go with your arrangement.” With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Once the crowd dispersed, Qin Fan jumped up, ready to run.
“Stop.” Xiao Hongling’s gentle voice froze him in place like he’d been hit with a binding spell.
“Aunt…” Qin Fan turned around with a forced, pained smile. “Do you have any other instructions?”
Xiao Hongling leaned lazily on a soft couch, her legs crossed under the thin red veil, fair skin faintly visible. She crooked her finger. “Come here.”
Qin Fan wanted to cry. This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go!
Xiao Hongling suddenly put on a soft and sincere expression. “Fan’er, it’s my fault. I neglected your guidance, leading to your unruly behavior. You saved me—what reward do you want?”
She rose from the couch and reached out to pat his head.
“Aunt, calm down!” Qin Fan dodged three meters away. “Disciple deserves death! I’ve let down both Master and Aunt. If I must ask for a reward, please—just expel me from the Sect!”
Xiao Hongling’s beautiful eyes narrowed. She raised her hand and pulled him right in front of her. “Little brat, what are you running from? I’m not going to eat you. I didn’t expect you to be this capable. That inner demon had plagued me for years and brought me endless suffering.”
She smiled dangerously. “As for expelling you? Don’t bring that up again. If you do, I’ll personally send you to the afterlife!”
[Ding! Xiao Hongling Favorability +10]
…
Qin Fan was completely done.
Damn it! This was all Ye Chen’s fault—that hypocrite! Even the inner demon couldn’t touch him!
He wanted nothing more than to drag the system out and beat it up. Of all times to give him the Inner Demon Immunity—it had to be now! Visit g.com for the full chapter.
…
Two days later.
Qin Fan crouched on the eaves of Tranquil Heart Pavilion, a stalk of wild grass dangling from his lips, face full of despair. “What the hell is this…”
He looked mournfully at Xiao Hongling tending flowers nearby. “I was supposed to be expelled from the Sect… How did I end up as Aunt’s personal servant?”
For two whole days, he’d been under Xiao Hongling’s special attention. Spiritual liquid body-tempering during the day, cultivating insights at night. Though his meals had improved dramatically, even the bedding had been upgraded to spirit silkworm fiber, he was absolutely not happy.
“What I want is freedom!” Qin Fan was going mad.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as an idea came to mind. “Didn’t Ye Chen just reach the Golden Core Realm? His influence is growing stronger…”
Qin Fan grinned sinisterly. “If he catches me spying on his harem bathing…”
He acted immediately!
That afternoon, he wandered near Ye Chen’s Cultivation Residence, deliberately raising his voice while speaking to himself.
“Sigh, Second Senior Sister Xia Qingyue’s waist… tsk tsk, smooth as jade! No wonder she’s the number one beauty in the Sect.”
“Fifth Senior Sister Su Meier’s legs are to die for! And that perky butt—bouncy as hell!”
“Sixth Senior Sister Leng Qingshuang may be cold, but her body is fire! Perfect proportions!”
“Seventh Senior Sister Zhao Wanqing looks pure, but hehe… she’s a mix of innocence and allure!”
…
Sure enough, a cold snort came from within the residence.
Qin Fan was delighted and pushed harder. “The moonlight is perfect tonight… How about I go admire the Senior Sisters bathing?”
With that, he fled.
…
Night fell, pitch black.
Behind Tranquil Heart Pavilion, steam rose from the hot spring pool.
Qin Fan crouched behind an ornamental rock, grinning as he calculated in his head, “Once that hypocrite Ye Chen catches me red-handed, I’ll finally get expelled!”
He had chosen tonight deliberately. The fifteenth of every month—bright full moon. The Senior Sisters’ regular group bath night.
Even better—Third Senior Sister Bai Zhiruo, known as the perfect combination of beauty and brains, had just returned from training.
“She’s Ye Chen’s number-one fangirl and the top alchemist of Jade Spring Peak,” Qin Fan rubbed his hands gleefully. “If she gets mad… I’m doomed for sure.”
