Chapter 21 Part 2: I Like People Like My Master (2)
She was afraid of standing for any longer. Before her master could even do anything, she had already given in.
[You shouldn’t scare yourself!]
Bai Lian stood respectfully before An Lan and said, “Master.”
“Hmm.”
An Lan replied softly.
She didn’t look at Bai Lian, to be honest, she doesn’t know what to do now.
At first, she suspected Bai Lian of stealing her personal clothing for strange purposes, but after carefully checking inside the cave, she dismissed this speculation.
Think about it.
Although Bai Lian’s strength has increased significantly recently, it is impossible to successfully carry out any misdeeds related to her clothing or socks without getting caught by her watchful eyes and ears.
Speaking of which, this was learned by An Lan from the books secretly hidden by Bai Lian.
Those women in the books were too indecorous!
When they couldn’t find satisfaction, they would unexpectedly develop a fetish for socks and shoes.
Sigh.
Alas, the manners of this world are declining. In any case, she will not engage in such peculiar activities!
An Lan was feeling distressed.
Since Bai Lian didn’t do anything wrong, what is the use of calling her?
One must have a suitable reason to punish her, otherwise, it would appear that as the master, she is too capricious.
An Lan looked Bai Lian up and down, her eyes passing over Bai Lian’s body with dense words of death and a floating Tao Halo.
But that scent that belonged to her still lingered on Bai Lian.
Got it!
An Lan’s eyes brightened, and she waved at Bai Lian.
“Come here!”
“…”
Bai Lian dared not go over.
She was afraid.
The system task emerged at an opportune moment.
[Task 1: Crossed her arms and said, “I just had a moment of intimacy with Si Yunshang. If you want it, I can do it with you right now!” (Reward: Hard Skill +150)]
[Task 2: Admit the mistake decisively, reveal the true situation between yourself and Si Yunshang, and earnestly request the master’s punishment. (Reward: High-grade Spirit Tool – Dreamy Flying Flowers)]
[Task 3: Walk over obediently without saying a word. (Reward: Focus +1)]
Well.
Upon completing Task 1, Bai Lian exclaimed, “Wowzas!”
150 points of Hard Skill!
If this were a game, she would choose this without any hesitation, even if she were killed, she could still unlock a new ending.
[Master, do you think I am courageous or not?]
Unfortunately, this is not a game.
After weighing the risks of the three tasks, she decided to play it safe.
Choose Task 3.
Bai Lian silently approached her master.
An Lan’s idea to break the silence was to have Bai Lian undergo a physical examination.
Is it not normal for a master to examine her disciple’s body?
“Take off your clothes!” she said.
Hey?
Bai Lian was bewildered.
How did we jump directly to this step?
But she had no way to resist either.
Shua Shua Shua.
Bai Lian removed her white knee-high stockings and off-the-shoulder maxi dress and proceeded to remove her brassiere.
However, just as she had barely exposed her “southern hemisphere”, her hand was seized.
“What are you doing?”
An Lan’s voice trembled slightly.
She could only lower her gaze and rest it on Bai Lian’s smooth and tender abdomen.
Traitor, to actually commit such an outrageous act in front of me, are you plotting to harm me?
Bai Lian became more confused, “Wasn’t it you, master, who asked me to take it off?”
“Rebel, how dare you talk back!”
An Lan let out an angry shout.
I just asked you to take off your clothes…
Alright then, although it is also a piece of clothing, as my disciple, are you unable to comprehend my true intentions?
Bai Lian reluctantly pushed her camisole back down and gently tugged on the edge of her trousers.
“Master, here…”
An Lan said, “Just stand still and don’t move around.”
“Yes.”
Bai Lian stood still.
She, in any case, wasn’t shy, as for what her master thought of her, she didn’t know.
It seems that the master was also very calm.
An Lan leaned in, examining Bai Lian’s body with the same level of seriousness and attention to detail as a discerning art critic.
From every direction, without missing anything in view.
“Emmm…”
At a certain moment, An Lan suddenly seized Bai Lian’s right wrist.
“That’s it!”
Yila.
It seemed as though she had been electrified, for Bai Lian’s body trembled abruptly.
Bad thing!
She had always thought her master was formidable, but now she realized just how much more impressive she truly was. With just a few glances, she instantly recognized the hand that had been used to remove Si Yunshang’s clothes.
Bai Lian became even more afraid.
Ah, the master has already caught her middle finger and index finger!
Will her fingers be broken?
Although this kind of pain is nothing to her, the torture inflicted by the master must be far beyond this degree.
Perhaps she should take the initiative to confess?
Isn’t it said that confession brings leniency?
At this moment, the system emerged once again to assert its presence.
[Task 1: Confess how you used this hand to physically punish Si Yunshang. (Reward: Soft Skill+80)]
[Task 2: I didn’t do anything! (Reward: +1 Focus)]
The task is really testing one’s psychological quality, no wonder it can increase Focus.
Bai Lian chose Task 2.
Don’t… don’t touch anymore…
If the master touches her again, she really won’t be able to take it.
This is really irritating.
With such a long prelude, she is almost gone, if you’re coming, come quickly!
An Lan naturally had no idea what Bai Lian was thinking.
She was very happy now.
She finally knew why there was her scent on Bai Lian.
This had nothing to do with her spending two hours sparring with Bai Lian in the Sea of Divine Sense, nor with Bai Lian taking her clothes for mischievous purposes.
As she had suspected, she indeed found the path of the Great Tao that she had once given up on with Bai Lian.
The way of the Great Tao was subtle, yet it seamlessly blended with Bai Lian’s Tao Halo, appearing incredibly harmonious without any intent to harm Bai Lian’s body.
“Puff~”
This is a good thing.
Her way of the Great Tao became Bai Lian’s way of the Great Tao. Considering that Bai Lian’s things were hers, she could say that her way of the Great Tao had not been lost.
However, a new problem soon arose.
Why had her path of the Great Tao ended up with Bai Lian?
Where did Bai Lian’s Tao Halo come from?
An Lan couldn’t make sense of it for a while.
Following the principle of not thinking if it cannot be understood, An Lan released Bai Lian’s hand.
“Wait a moment.”
Bai Lian was startled when she clearly saw An Lan take out a needle from her chest!
Is this going to be an execution?
An Lan used her immense power to snap the long needle into two short chains, twisted like strings of tiny pearls. She then took out two deep blue crystals and carefully molded them into star shapes.
“…”
Click.
The short chain was connected to the stars.
An Lan smiled faintly and said, “Alright.”
Bai Lian vaguely realized something.
An Lan suddenly walked up to her, gently tiptoed, saying not to move around, and took off the earrings she was wearing.
“Put this on, and others won’t be able to see the Tao Halo on your body.”
An Lan gently shook the starry-sky-like earrings before carefully attaching them to Bai Lian’s earlobe.
Her movements were soft and deliberate.
As she stood on tiptoe, her chest brushed against Bai Lian’s from time to time.
With each small shift, Bai Lian’s heart fluttered.
“If you don’t cover it up, there will be a lot of people staring at you. I…”
I am not so happy to see this!
An Lan said, “Do not show this to anyone else, for caution is necessary. Only show it to me… and your Martial Sisters. We would never harm you.”
“Master.”
Bai Lian sniffled.
An Lan continued, “I don’t fancy the woman you brought back.”
It seemed as if she was afraid that Bai Lian would misunderstand, so she added further explanation.
“I don’t hate her because of her background, but after getting to know her, the word ‘death’ seems to linger more in your aura.”
As she spoke, she turned her head, afraid that her chin might knock against Bai Lian’s undulating chest.
Now was not like usual. Bai Lian only wore a bra and shorts. She felt a bit dizzy when approaching, and some strange plots written in books occasionally flashed through her mind.
Bai Lian caught a glimpse of a blush on An Lan’s cheek.
Like blooming peach blossoms in their prime.
May be caused by evil spirits.
With the earrings in place and at the very moment Tao Halo dissipated, she suddenly opened her arms and embraced her master.
Holding tightly, she embedded her master into the space between her chest, forcing her master to maintain a peculiar stance on tiptoes.
This sudden move made An Lan, who was already a little dizzy, even more dizzy.
“You, you, you, what are you doing?!”
“Thank you, Master.”
An Lan was still angry.
Is this how you thank me?
When have I, the Immortal Heavenly Lord, ever experienced such anger?
She charged forward, making Bai Lian stagger and finally fall onto the bed with a thud.
She took the opportunity to straddle Bai Lian’s waist.
“I know you are excited, but you cannot completely disregard manners. Today…today I shall teach you a lesson!”
An Lan pulled out her ruler and slapped Bai Lian on the edge of her hip.
Bai Lian immediately put on a tragic expression and cooperated perfectly by calling out in a sorrowful manner.
As she was beaten, her body suddenly started shaking.
An Lan stopped beating after a while.
She couldn’t watch anymore!
Why is this rebellious scoundrel so fat-looking? Can her fatty meat be eaten?
She crossed her arms and said, “As your master, you should listen to me more often!”
“Yes, yes.”
Even if she didn’t agree in her heart, Bai Lian had to say yes first before any further discussion could take place.
“I can tell that you are looking for a companion,” An Lan said.
Huh?
“I don’t actually object to such a thing. The journey to immortality is long, and having someone to accompany you isn’t bad—much like those Martial Sisters of yours. As for the outsiders, their backgrounds and intentions are unclear and can’t be trusted to be pure.”
An Lan’s voice grew increasingly faint until finally, she lowered her head in complete submission.
She was also thinking about issues.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like this was the right thing to do.
She didn’t know which day would be her last, but when it came, Bai Lian would be the only one left to take charge of Qiongming Peak.
If someone were to accompany her, Bai Lian wouldn’t be too sad, right?
“Master.”
An Lan was woken up by a single call.
She looked up.
Bai Lian’s gaze was so earnest that An Lan didn’t dare look away, afraid of missing something important.
Therefore.
She heard Bai Lian enunciate each word, “I admire people like you, master.”
