Chapter 22 Part 2: Immortal Heavenly Lord (2)
However, hadn’t she just told me to find a Tao companion?
Obviously, this wasn’t something she could argue with her master about, so she could only pretend she hadn’t noticed it.
Afterward, An Lan climbed off Bai Lian’s back.
She sat beside Bai Lian, her face showing traces of weariness.
The cave lapsed into silence again.
Bai Lian’s gaze fell upon her master’s profile as she wondered what thoughts were crossing her mind at that moment.
While lost in thought, she suddenly caught a whiff of a familiar scent.
Hmm.
It was her body’s fragrance.
But that scent wasn’t coming from her—it was from her master’s pillow!
Bai Lian shifted her position as if discovering a new continent.
She wanted to take a closer look but unexpectedly bumped into her master’s leg.
Ah!
An Lan, deep in thought, startled and stood up suddenly.
“What… what are you trying to do?”
At that moment, she thought Bai Lian was about to do something outrageous like in the book, but she soon realized she was overthinking.
Puff~
An Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
Her gaze remained fixed on Bai Lian’s chest.
After a few moments, Bai Lian asked, “Master, may I get up and dress myself now?”
“Put it on,” said An Lan, crossing her arms and tilting slightly. When she heard the rustling sound beside her, she suddenly asked, “Does it hurt there?”
She vaguely remembered striking with excessive force earlier.
Bai Lian had just closed her clothes, without having time to tie her belt, leaving her legs entirely bare.
She was taken aback momentarily, and then a new task appeared before her eyes.
[Task 1, “A little bit.” (Reward: Soft Skill+2)]
[Task 2, “It doesn’t hurt.” (Reward: Hard Skill +1)]
Bai Lian usually opted for Task 2.
Considering that neither task posed much risk, she happily chose Task 1.
“There is a small red mark,” she said.
Huh?
That would look quite unsightly.
“Let me have a look…”
Never mind.
An Lan had taken only one step when she stopped abruptly. How could a master ask to examine her disciple’s chest? That would be too improper!
However…
She lowered her head again.
She and Bai Lian’s souls had both done more outrageous things, so… was it too much just to look at her chest?
Actually, she simply didn’t want Bai Lian to know. If Bai Lian were asleep right now, she would have looked anyway.
This time, it was ultimately her fault.
Her reason for punishing Bai Lian had been too weak; she shouldn’t have called Bai Lian down in the first place.
“I’ll help you,” An Lan hesitated momentarily, “treat it a bit.”
She couldn’t just say, “let me help you rub it a bit,” could she?
That would be too inappropriate.
An Lan solemnly used her spirit Qi from a distance to erase the mark on Bai Lian.
To be honest, that mark had been intentionally left by Bai Lian. Otherwise, given her constitution, even if her master were to pierce her with a lance, it wouldn’t leave a trace.
An Lan, unable to shake the troubled feeling from her heart, attempted to soothe Bai Lian’s emotions.
“If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, just spar with your Martial Sisters!”
She nodded.
Indeed, Bai Lian couldn’t strike her anyway.
“???”
Bai Lian felt as if her waist was nearly snapped in half by her master.
How had it suddenly come to hitting her Martial Sisters?
She wasn’t the kind of person who derived pleasure from inflicting pain.
After being fixed with Bai Lian’s peculiar stare for a while, An Lan immediately realized her mistake and hastily said, “This was a lesson. You… you shouldn’t think about these miscellaneous things in the future!”
“…”
In the end, Bai Lian didn’t obtain her desired outcome from An Lan.
When she walked out of the cave, she wasn’t feeling despondent.
Her greatest gain wasn’t the shy expression her master revealed during the treatment, but the scent emanating from her pillow.
The master hadn’t given her an answer.
Compared to words that could be easily twisted, this long-developed habit was the more genuine response.
There were still thorns blocking their path forward.
The thorn likely stemmed from the threat of the Red Dust Heavenly Lord.
“So, I must continue to improve my strength!”
If she had become a Human Immortal now, she’d be able to resolve all problems simply by overwhelming her master.
[Dictatorial Disciple Bai Lian!]
After Bai Lian left, An Lan maintained her position standing on the bed.
She extended her right hand, and purple-black electric currents sparkled in her palm.
This wasn’t ordinary lightning, but a destructive force condensed from calamities. Unlike the Way of the Great Tao that she had lost, this destructive force also carried the power of regeneration.
“Truly worthy is the [Ten Thousand Calamities Refining Cultivation Method], which helped propel the Path of Wanjie DharmaPath Master to become the Heavenly Lord.”
An Lan, who had endured trials and tribulations, found her spiritual cultivation to be twice as effective.
She believed that as long as nothing unexpected occurred along the way, it wouldn’t take long for her to master a new way of the Great Tao from her own scars.
Thus, she would have touched the realm of that scoundrel.
At that time, she would not continue to stay in the Duxian sect.
The catastrophe had arrived prematurely, resulting in chaos in the order of heaven and earth. The world where the East Divine Land was located was no longer safe, and hesitation would only bring imminent doom to Bai Lian and her companions.
That wasn’t the ending An Lan wanted to see.
She needed to find a way to leave the East Divine Land and return to the Immortal World.
“So,” An Lan’s gaze pierced through the mountain and landed on the recently seated Bai Lian, “we are not compatible… If I survive, then let’s continue our mastership another time.”
She shook off the feeling of disaster and was about to turn to other matters when she suddenly noticed Bai Lian reading a book.
An Lan had a bad feeling.
She gazed intently.
A description of a female disciple pressing her thigh against her female master’s thigh caught her eye.
“!”
An Lan was greatly surprised.
It was an r18 novel!
Hadn’t she torn apart all the books that Bai Lian had hidden, so why was she still keeping one?
This was too much.
What was even more shameless was that despite having just been disciplined, not even fifteen minutes had passed before she started misbehaving again.
It infuriated her!
An Lan’s chest heaved heavily.
She would definitely flatten Bai Lian’s chest this time.
She hurriedly walked toward the cave’s entrance, but after only two steps, she stopped.
“That’s not right.”
Wouldn’t she be revealing that she was constantly monitoring if she rushed out now?
An Lan’s mind conceived an even more dreadful possibility.
[Fishing]
Could it be possible that Bai Lian, this rebel, had done it deliberately?
Her expression clouded with uncertainty.
Although this senior disciple of hers might not be as pure as rumored in the outside world, surely she hadn’t become so devious?
No, no, no.
Even if Bai Lian hadn’t meant it, this was still inappropriate!
This behavior had to be stopped immediately.
An Lan, who couldn’t appear in person, immediately thought of her other disciples. She promptly messaged Xiao Jinse and others who were studying at Yunluo Peak.
[Your Elder Martial Sister has returned.]
Hua——
…
Bai Lian’s reading plan was disrupted.
Several Martial Sisters had swarmed in from outside and surrounded her like a rare animal at the zoo, carefully examining her.
She didn’t want her Martial Sisters to notice her inappropriate feelings toward their Master at this time, so she quietly put away the book.
It took Bai Lian a full half-hour to dismiss the Martial Sisters.
At this point, she had no desire to continue reading—who knew if her master was still watching?
She’d save it for next time.
Ever since discovering that her master was observing her, her mind had become more active.
As long as she wasn’t embarrassed, others would be.
Ah.
[You deserve it, Hei Lian (Black-bellied Bai Lian)!]
Bai Lian leisurely flew to Qingming Peak.
When she went to visit, Si Yunshang hadn’t yet awakened, and Younger Martial Brother Chen had also secluded himself to absorb the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell.
But she didn’t leave empty-handed.
She learned from Martial Sister He that Si Yunshang’s body was unusual.
“Thank you, Martial Sister He.”
Bai Lian furrowed her brow.
The Lingxu Sect was founded thousands of years ago. If the Spiritual Emptiness Casting Saint’s cultivation method was truly a gift for others, why had the creator of this method not appeared for so long?
She made a mental note.
Bai Lian stayed with Si Yunshang for a while before returning to her own room.
The following days passed peacefully as usual for the Duxian sect.
Si Yunshang remained in a comatose state due to spiritual trauma.
The Martial Sisters journeyed to Yunluo Peak for their daytime cultivation and returned in the evening to witness the splendor of the Tao Halo.
The friction between her and her master seemed not to have affected their relationship.
She would read r18 novels at night when she had nothing else to do, and it appeared her master hadn’t discovered her doing so.
But the outside world wasn’t as peaceful as the Duxian sect.
In early September, news arrived from the northwest that two more avatars of the Demon Lord of the Pavilion of Mountain and Sea had been slain.
In mid-September, a small country nearest to the Duxian sect was struck by geological disasters and invaded by rampaging demonic beasts. Fortunately, this situation was promptly contained and didn’t cause excessive damage.
At the end of September, while Bai Lian was meditating, she received an unexpected message from Yue Wuyang.
[White Emperor Bai Lian, would you have time to meet with me?]
