They All Want to Be My Female Lead 52

52 Is the Master Better or Are They Better

After returning to the City Lord’s Mansion, the three of them parted ways and returned to their respective rooms.

Lying on the bed, the first thing Yan Zhen did was enter the crystal space. He presented the rice balls he had secretly packed back, along with a few side dishes and a pot of fine wine, to his beautiful master.

“Sorry, Master. I’m back late.”

Chen Xi didn’t say anything. She picked up the bowl and scooped up a steaming hot, round rice ball with a spoon, taking a small bite.

After tasting it, she brought the spoon with more than half of the rice ball left to Yan Zhen’s face and said with a smile, “Eat this, and your master will forgive you.”

Uh.

Yan Zhen didn’t have any particular feelings about indirect kissing, but his beautiful master deliberately giving it to him to eat after biting it like this seemed a bit intentional.

When he was young, he had heard the elders say: If you eat someone’s saliva, you will listen to him (her). Could it be that his beautiful master was hinting at him, her “disobedient” disciple?

Yan Zhen had a sudden realization. He obediently lowered his head, gulped down more than half of the rice ball, then raised his little face, showing a “I’m super obedient” look.

Chen Xi’s heart was instantly struck by his cute, pleading gaze, causing 1000% critical damage. The bit of displeasure she had dissipated like smoke.

“Come and eat with your master, Zhen’er.”

“Oh~”

Although Yan Zhen had dual cultivated with his beautiful master, he wouldn’t become complacent because of it. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father (mother). He still maintained complete respect and love for his beautiful master.

This also perfectly matched the protagonist’s character setting.

Actually, just in terms of personality, Yan Zhen found that he was quite similar to the protagonist’s character in the script.

It was very likely that the system had chosen him to play the protagonist role precisely because of this.

[Hehe, the host is overthinking.]

–Hmph!

Yan Zhen ignored the system and focused on pouring wine for his beautiful master. However, he saw her lean closer, gently sniffing with her nose, and then casually saying, “Zhen’er, there’s a bit of fragrance on you. Which girl’s is it?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen inexplicably felt a pang of guilt, as if he was a middle school student secretly dating and got caught red-handed by his parents.

“Reporting to Master, I went out to play with my elder and younger female cousins. It’s the scent from their bodies.”

“Only with your elder and younger female cousins?” Chen Xi’s eyes narrowed, her tone still casual. “Not with your elder and younger male cousins?”

Yan Zhen swallowed his saliva. “I don’t have a very good relationship with my male cousins.”

“Oh?”

“Because I used to suppress them too much, so when I fell on hard times three years ago, they ridiculed me ruthlessly in turn. Although it can’t be considered a big grudge, it’s basically impossible to be close again.”

“What about your female cousins? Is it because Zhen’er has once again displayed outstanding talent, so they all flocked to you one by one?”

“That’s not it either. They’re both quite nice. Meng’er even apologized to me, and Elder Sister Ruyu isn’t as fierce as before.”

Chen Xi finished the wine in her cup, two spots of pink blooming on her cheeks. She turned her head to look directly at Yan Zhen. “Then, is your master better, or are they better?”

Being stared at by his beautiful master’s clear eyes, Yan Zhen’s spirit lifted. He answered without hesitation, “Of course Master is better. Master is the best. No one can compare!”

His voice was loud and strong.

Hearing this, Chen Xi’s heart blossomed with joy. The lingering mellow taste of wine in her mouth seemed to turn sweet. The faint smile reappeared on the corners of her lips.

“Really?”

Yan Zhen declared loudly, “Absolutely! Because they took the initiative to invite me, that’s why I went out with them. Otherwise, I was planning to spend the whole day by Master’s side, diligently cultivating and making progress, to repay Master for her guidance!”

“Sweet talker.”

Chen Xi chided him with a sentence, but didn’t say anything more. She quietly drank the wine, eating little of the dishes.

Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sat beside her to serve.

After eating, Chen Xi slowly stood up and said, “Zhen’er, let your master see your cultivation results from the past few months. Start with the Tai Chi Shock.”

Huh? He had already said such moving words, yet he still had to be drilled?

Yan Zhen felt aggrieved, but still gritted his teeth and agreed.

First was the Tai Chi Shock. Although Yan Zhen had already mastered the skill of utilizing subtle force and shocking force, he was still far inferior to his beautiful master. He was easily toyed with by her.

Next was the Eight Extremes Explosion. Yan Zhen could strike with triple force at most, but it was still easily resolved by his beautiful master. With one hand, she blocked his all-out punch.

Finally, it was fire control sparring. Yan Zhen manipulated the Gold and Silver Fire to attack Chen Xi, but the flames were instead controlled by Chen Xi, scorching him and making him howl.

After a round of drilling, Yan Zhen exhausted himself. He soaked in the medicinal soup in the large bathtub, sticking out his tongue and panting like a puppy.

Chen Xi stood behind Yan Zhen, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrists. Her jade-like hands picked up a wooden ladle and scooped up the medicinal soup, slowly pouring it on the swollen parts of his body. Her delicate fingers gently stroked, bringing Yan Zhen a soft comfort.

“It seems that Zhen’er has grasped everything your master taught quite well. Worthy of praise.”

“Hehe, thank you for Master’s compliment~”

“However, there’s one more thing. Zhen’er, have you practiced it with anyone?”

“What else is there?”

The Tai Chi Shock, Eight Extremes Explosion, Imperial Blaze Art, and Gold and Silver Fire were all “fire control related”. There was nothing else.

The Dao of Alchemy? He hadn’t even started learning it.

After advancing to the Mystic Scholar realm, he could begin learning alchemy. But it just so happened to be the New Year and the holidays, worshipping gods, visiting relatives and such. There was time, but it was relatively fragmented, not suitable for cultivation.

“It seems Zhen’er has forgotten.”

Chen Xi put down the wooden ladle. Her jade-like fingers pinched the knot of her waistband and gently pulled.

The black sleeved dress, without restraint, could hardly contain that graceful and voluptuous jade-like body, especially those excessively huge breasts. As soon as they were freed, they bounced out like rabbits, causing her collar to open wide. Then, the dress slid down her fragrant shoulders and pooled on the ground in layers.

Her face was slightly flushed, her eyes revealing a hint of desire, but her tone of speech remained as still as an ancient well.

“…There’s also a dual cultivation method for refining extreme flames that needs to be checked.”

What!?

Yan Zhen froze, the style of his face changing. He thought, the dual cultivation method also needs to be practiced and checked? How to practice and check it?

In a daze, two milk-colored arms hooked around his neck from behind, and at the same time, an incomparable softness tightly pressed against him.

It was a sensation completely different from usual, a warmth that could only be felt when skin touched skin.

Yan Zhen quickly realized what it was. His body stiffened, not daring to move.

“Master?”

“Zhen’er, your cultivation has advanced very quickly. I believe in less than a year, you will be able to ascend to the Mystic Scholar realm. At that time, you will need to refine another extreme flame to not delay your cultivation. Naturally, before that, you must completely master the dual cultivation method. Zhen’er, have you practiced with anyone?”

Chen Xi was still speaking in the tone of a master in a superior position. If it were any other time, Yan Zhen would definitely listen attentively. But at this moment, with his head sandwiched between two buns, he had no control.

“I, I haven’t. I forgot.”

“Hehe, then let your master practice with you~”

A hot and passionate body squeezed into the bathtub behind Yan Zhen, soaking in the scalding medicinal soup, and began the Secret Lesson.
