Chapter 119: Instructor Yu Xuan’s Invitation
“Treatment is a long-term process. For now, you’ll still need Supreme Grade Detoxification Pills to manage your symptoms. Do you have any left, Sister Ji Ya? If not, I can try refining some for you.”
“I brought some with me, but I’m running low. It would be wonderful if you could refine some for me, Little Brother Yan Zhen.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Heehee, thank you, Little Brother~”
Her beautiful face, devoid of makeup, lit up with a gentle smile. Her eyes, like shimmering pools, seemed to speak volumes, conveying a thousand unspoken words with a single glance.
He couldn’t bear to meet her gaze.
Other beauties might stir his heart, but she had a way of stirring his… dragon.
There were many types of “cauldron physiques.” Hers was the “Inner Charm Physique.” Her every smile, every gesture, exuded an alluring charm that ignited desire, regardless of gender.
Once her illness was cured and her Spiritual Power awakened, this ability would become even more potent. Even he might not be able to resist her allure.
“Ahem, right, Sister Ji Ya. I came here to ask the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce to auction off a Supreme Grade Small Origin Pill for me.”
He retrieved a small bottle from his storage ring, but before he could hand it to her, she snatched it away.
“I already know about that. This is the first Supreme Grade Small Origin Pill you’ve ever refined, isn’t it? It would be a shame to sell it to someone else. How about selling it to me? I’ll pay you three times the market price.”
Three times the market price. Exactly as stated in the script.
However, her directness made him hesitate.
“If you want it, Sister Ji Ya, I’ll just give it to you. I still have one left.”
Besides, he wasn’t short on money, and this pill was destined to end up in her hands anyway.
“Then I’ll gratefully accept your generosity.”
She didn’t refuse. She had been planning to acquire this pill no matter what.
One of the two Supreme Grade Small Origin Pills he had first refined would be hers, while he kept the other. It felt like a fated connection, a symbol of their bond in his previous life.
Him gifting it to her now held even more significance than her purchasing it in the past.
“I’ll treasure it, Little Brother Yan Zhen. It’s the first gift you’ve ever given me.” She gazed at him, her voice soft and alluring, her words laced with a subtle intimacy.
He couldn’t handle her indirect approach. It was even more effective than a straightforward confession.
“I’ve taken care of my business. I should go back and try to refine that Supreme Grade Detoxification Pill.” He quickly stood up, but her hand shot out, gripping his arm, pulling him back down.
“There’s no need to rush, is there? Like I said, I want to spend more time with you, Little Brother Yan Zhen. To get to know you better.”
— Stop emphasizing the word “better”! It’s a perfectly innocent statement!
“Maybe another time. I’m not even sure if I can refine a Supreme Grade Detoxification Pill. I need to start practicing as soon as possible. What if your condition flares up and you run out of medicine?”
“So you’re worried about me, Little Brother Yan Zhen?” Her heart fluttered with warmth. Her lips brushed against his ear, her breath hot and moist. “You’re so sweet~”
He shivered, covering his ears with his hands and shrinking away from her.
“You touched me, Sister Ji Ya!”
She giggled, her laughter like the tinkling of bells, her ample bosom swaying enticingly.
— He’s so adorable at this age. The slightest touch makes him blush. Once he strengthens his body, even blowing on his ear won’t be enough to fluster him. I’ll have to try nibbling and licking, like my little sister suggested.
“I was just teasing, Little Brother… Since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll escort you back.”
“No need. I can go myself.”
“Alright. But remember to visit me tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll come looking for you, Little Brother Yan Zhen~”
He fled, his heart pounding.
…
She remained in the VIP room with her twin bodyguards. Moments later, a mature, elegant woman materialized beside them.
This was her true protector, a Mystic King who cultivated Shadow Mystic Power, and also her elder.
“‘Older sister, little brother’… It’s making me sick.”
Ji Ya calmly sipped the tea Yan Zhen had been drinking. “What’s wrong with a little romance? Didn’t you ever have a sweetheart, Aunt Mu?”
“No.”
“Heh~ That’s a shame. You’re so beautiful. It’s a pity no man has ever cherished you.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Aunt Mu spoke. “Are you sure that boy can cure your illness?”
Ji Ya nodded. “There’s no one more suitable than him. And more importantly… I love him. The kind of love where I can’t imagine marrying anyone else~”
“You’ve only met him once, and you’re already talking about marriage?”
“Who said it was only once? I’ve met him countless times in my dreams! And every time, he’s so gentle and… powerful…”
Seeing her mischievous grin, Aunt Mu decided not to engage, her figure fading into the shadows.
…
Yan Zhen returned to the house just before noon. He was about to enter his room when Instructor Yu Xuan called him for lunch.
She hadn’t been attending classes lately, choosing to stay at the house, as if trying to spend as much time with him as possible.
The other four girls, however, were busy consolidating their cultivation, their attention focused on their training.
She sat beside him, her chin resting on her hand, her gaze soft as she watched him devour the food she had prepared.
“Did you go to the Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce this morning?”
He swallowed a mouthful of meat. “I sold some pills.”
“I heard their beautiful Head Shopkeeper is in town. Did you meet her?” Her tone was suggestive.
He shook his head, feigning ignorance. “N-no, I didn’t notice.”
— Hmph, you little liar! You’re about to be whisked away by that vixen in two days, and you’re saying you didn’t notice her?!
She bit her lip, her hand reaching out to gently squeeze his… sensitive spot.
He froze, his chopsticks hovering over his plate. What did I do to provoke her? “Instructor…?”
Her voice was soft, a gentle purr. “The Gold and Jade Chamber of Commerce is holding a grand auction tomorrow night. I’m interested in some of the items. Come with me.”
Her tone was firm, her grip tightening.
Her technique had improved, her touch precise and effective. After all, she had been practicing on him.
He was supposed to meet with his “older sister” tomorrow night! He didn’t have time to accompany his instructor!
“Instructor, I have something to do tomorrow night– Mmm!”
His clothes, weakened by her Water Mystic Power, offered no resistance. Sensing her displeasure, he quickly changed his tune.
“Actually… I’m also interested in the auction! I was just about to invite you, Instructor!”
She smiled sweetly. “Good boy.”
…
After lunch, and a quick “dessert,” he returned to his room, activated his Star Shifting Fire Seal, and appeared before the altar. He informed his Beautiful Sect Master of Ji Ya’s condition.
