- Now It Was Her Turn to Care for Him
[Ding! Key plot opening]
[Current plot – Chapter 38: Refining the Extreme Flame]
[Acting requirement: Refine the heaven and earth extreme flame given by Chen Xi]
[Completion 0%]
The system issued the mission at an inopportune time, but Yan Zhen wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to it right now.
Because his beautiful master actually said she wanted to dual cultivate with him…
Did he hear wrong?
“Master, you said dual cultivate, right?”
“As I just said, your master is now the spirit of the Fire Tempering Star Space. Besides being able to suppress the fierceness of extreme flames, I can also pass on the flame to others through dual cultivation after refining an extreme flame. The Gold and Silver Fire originally belonged to your master. As long as we dual cultivate, it can be directly passed on to you without any risk.”
There was not a trace of hesitation on Chen Xi’s face, as cold and aloof as ever, as if dual cultivation was just a small matter to her.
However, Yan Zhen couldn’t remain calm. What the heck was dual cultivation to pass on flames? This segment wasn’t in the script!
[Ding! System kind reminder: Chen Xi proposes dual cultivation to pass on flames in Chapter 520]
Chapter 520? Yan Zhen quickly recalled the contents of that chapter and suddenly realized.
That chapter wrote that in order to confront the upcoming powerful enemy, Yan Zhen needed to greatly improve his strength. At that time, Yan Zhen had just broken through not long ago. To improve further, he had to refine a new extreme flame.
However, extreme flames were difficult to find. Yan Zhen was very troubled by this and rushed about every day, but still had no results.
So his beautiful master proposed “dual cultivation to pass on flames”.
Even with full preparation, the success rate of refining extreme flames was still very low, and one had to endure great pain. But if he dual cultivated with his beautiful master, her Starlight Glaze Fire could be passed on to Yan Zhen with zero risk.
Of course, Yan Zhen firmly refused, with the reason that he couldn’t commit an act that would harm his own master for the sake of power.
—Dual cultivation to pass on flames was actually real! Was this kind of ambiguous setting something a harem novel without a female lead should have?
Yan Zhen really couldn’t understand this original author, writing whatever nonsense.
However, his beautiful master proposing dual cultivation to pass on flames was in Chapter 500 something. Why was she proposing it now?
Damn it, in any case, he had to refuse. Only this way would it conform to the protagonist’s character setting.
“Master, I think, uh, isn’t dual cultivation not very good? After all, we are master and disciple.”
Chen Xi’s expression was calm:
“Since Zhen’er, you chose the ‘Imperial Blaze Art’, your master has to ensure that you can cultivate it well. The success rate of refining extreme flames is extremely low. Perhaps you were lucky and succeeded this time, but what about next time? The time after that? You won’t have good luck every time, and the consequence of bad luck is perishing in body and Dao. Your master can let you try your best, but can’t just watch you risk your life every time. Do you understand?”
“Master…”
Yan Zhen was greatly moved. It turned out his beautiful master had already considered things to this extent for him? She was willing to sacrifice her own chastity to create a stable cultivation environment for him.
His beautiful master was really too good to him, sob sob sob~
But this wasn’t right!
This was a harem novel world without a female lead. As the protagonist, an emotionless leveling machine, could he dual cultivate with his beautiful master? He couldn’t. There was no such plot, understand?
Besides, he wouldn’t fail in refining extreme flames. The later it got, the more he got the hang of it. When he advanced to Mystic Lord, with the assistance of the Fire Tempering Star Space, there was basically no risk. So this worry was unnecessary!
But how should he explain it to his beautiful master?
“Master, um, I can’t harm Master for my own sake!”
Yan Zhen tried to play the emotional card to make his beautiful master change her mind.
However, Chen Xi’s heart was moved upon hearing this: This child, he was still the same as his previous life, knowing to care for her.
Yan Zhen’s words made Chen Xi even more determined. While reaching out her jade-like hand to gently stroke his head, she said:
“Silly child, your master will likely be imprisoned in this Fire Tempering Star Space and not gain freedom in this lifetime. This body is already a useless shell. If it can be used for Zhen’er’s cultivation, nothing could be better. What harm is there to speak of?”
“Master, don’t say that…”
Wait until we advance to Mystic Lord, then we can take over the Fire Tempering Star Space and give Master back her freedom. Don’t give up hope of escaping so quickly!
Yan Zhen was a bit scared. His beautiful master said this as if she was going to become his cauldron. It was too outrageous!
Little did he know, Chen Xi indeed planned to do so.
Originally, Chen Xi intended to maintain her persona as the master and slowly capture Yan Zhen’s heart through daily interactions. But that New Year’s Eve dinner moved her greatly, making her resolve to abandon her own pride and actively become Yan Zhen’s cultivation cauldron.
Chen Xi was the spirit of the Fire Tempering Star Space. Her actively becoming Yan Zhen’s cultivation cauldron was equivalent to Yan Zhen indirectly becoming the master of the Fire Tempering Star Space. So he could borrow the power of Chen Xi, that is, the Fire Tempering Star Space, to refine extreme flames.
If Chen Xi had already refined an extreme flame, she could even pass on the flame with zero risk.
In her previous life, she watched her disciple risk his life to refine extreme flames again and again, but she thought this was a necessary trial on the path to becoming stronger. Even though she knew of a safer method to pass on flames, she didn’t intend to let him use it.
Until her feelings gradually changed, she finally proposed that she could dual cultivate with him to refine extreme flames safely and stably, but he firmly refused her.
Because Yan Zhen cared about her as his master.
Then now, it was Chen Xi’s turn to care for her precious disciple.
—Ahem, of course, it wasn’t without a tiny bit of selfish motive~
“Alright, Zhen’er, your master has made up her mind. There’s no need to say more.”
After saying that, Chen Xi telekinetically summoned the large bathtub Yan Zhen usually used for medicinal baths. With a flip of her jade-like hand, the colorful Starlight Glaze Fire was tossed into the tub, but it didn’t burn the tub at all.
Chen Xi made a hand seal, and the colorful flames instantly froze, actually condensing the fire into ice. She then flicked her finger, and the ice turned into water, filling the tub.
This was the technique of a Master Alchemist!
The water with traces of colorful light emitted a faint white mist, looking very cold at a glance.
“This way, it can reduce the high temperature generated when refining the extreme flame… Zhen’er, take off your clothes and get in.”
Yan Zhen’s scalp went numb. He tried to struggle and said:
“Master, I think we still need to reconsider—Ahhhhh!”
Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhen was grabbed by Chen Xi. She untied his waistband, shook off his clothes, even stripped off his long-nosed elephant patterned boxers, and threw him into the tub naked.
With a splash, water splashed everywhere.
Yan Zhen shrank in the icy water, his face red and ears burning, looking at his beautiful master with a cold and stern face, shivering.
He realized that his beautiful master was serious!
“Zhen’er, turn around first. Your master needs to undress.”
That cold and aloof face of Chen Xi suddenly showed a trace of unnaturalness, or rather, shyness?
“Master, don’t be impulsive. We can still discuss this properly—Glub glub glub.”
A fair jade-like hand pressed on top of Yan Zhen’s head, forcefully pushing him under the water, cutting off his words.
Then Yan Zhen heard the sound of silk rustling above the water. Then, a fair and delicate foot first stepped into the water. His gaze moved up, seeing legs like pillars, straight and long.
Yan Zhen widened his eyes, watching his beautiful master’s second jade-like foot enter as well, followed by large expanses of snowy skin, swaying in the flowing water, dazzling his eyes.
When his beautiful master was completely in the water, the jade-like hand pressing his head let go. Yan Zhen immediately floated up, gasping for air.
“Zhen’er, it’s about to begin.”
His beautiful master’s clear voice called back Yan Zhen’s attention. Focusing his gaze on her side, his eyes instantly went straight.
