Chapter 372: Chapter 370: Why Don’t We Terminate the Master-Disciple Relationship?
Yunmeng Island.
Sally sat on the ground, hugging her legs, staring at Little Fengning, who was asleep in the Divine Blood Pool.
If Taowu really offered itself as a sacrifice to Little Fengning with certain conditions, what could those be… Now that Little Fengning has lost the Primordial Demon Heart, he inevitably cannot fulfill them. Could he be backlashed by Taowu?
Suddenly, Sally fell backward, “This child must have come to collect a debt.”
“Looking at the situation, he probably is here to collect a debt. Not only does he want to consume your flesh and blood, your Innate Secret Technique, but also your heart. The system you are bound to is quite interesting though, it can actually rebirth your heart.”
A beautiful, fair-clad young man with hair like tassels scattered around appeared, smiling at her with curved brows and eyes.
“You’re… Master!”
Sally could hardly believe it because he looked like a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen. His eyes were clear, as tender as spring water, his voice was exactly like Master Qing’s, and in this tomb chamber, other than she and Little Fengning, there was only him.
Qing sat down cross-legged beside her, looking toward Little Fengning in the Divine Blood Pool, “Seems alright, after the purification, there’s no more need for hiding.”
“Mm, as long as he’s safe, that’s good enough for me.”
Turning her head to look at Qing sitting beside her, she laughed, “You look more like a younger brother than a master. Qing, why don’t we dissolve the master-disciple relationship?”
Qing: “… Call me Master.”
“No more, from now on I’ll just call you Qing.” Sally sat up, her gaze turning toward Little Fengning, “You take him as your disciple.”
“Want me to protect him?”
“Look at this pool of divine blood, it turned murky so quickly. I’m only good at having kids, nothing else.” Sally lifted her hand, “Even my Fire Attribute Talent has been consumed by him.”
“Try using spiritual power to activate the ‘Supreme One Technique.’ This is a Cultivation Technique developed later in life, different from the Innate Talent; he can’t consume it.”
Sally held her breath and concentrated her spiritual energy to activate the Golden Core within her dantian, which was no larger than a soybean.
‘Bang!’ A tuft of yellow-red flame appeared in the palm of her hand.
Surprised, Sally looked at Qing, “It really works.”
“Try a Water Element spell,” Qing told Sally.
“Water Ball Technique!” Sally exclaimed in a low voice.
A basketball-sized water ball poured down over Qing’s head…
“… I didn’t tell you to practice on your master!”
“Hehe~ My bad.”
“Call me Master, and you’re forgiven.”
“Master!”
“… Yes?”
“Once a teacher, forever a father, hehe~”
“Then why were you trying to dissolve our master-disciple relationship just now?”
“Isn’t it because you’re handsome? Suddenly got the hots for you and thought about hooking up with you after dissolving the relationship!” Right after saying that, Sally teleported to the other side of the Divine Blood Pool.
Qing’s eyes widened, “How outrageous! Brazen and bold!”
“If I wasn’t bold, where would so many children come from.” Seeing that he didn’t chase after her, Sally didn’t run any further, her gaze returning to Little Fengning.
Little Fengning woke up, blinking curiously all around. Sally immediately used her spiritual power to lift him out of the Divine Blood Pool.
“Is our Little Fengning hungry?”
She took a soft towel and wiped his little body.
After soaking in the Divine Blood, Little Fengning’s skin had become much fairer, the redness from just after birth was almost completely gone.
While wiping his back, Little Fengning suddenly laughed, “Gigglegiggle~”
Listening to him, Sally couldn’t help but smile too, all her unease and worry evaporating in that moment.
“Our Little Fengning has ticklish flesh on his back, doesn’t he? Look, mommy will rub it for you again,” Sally said as she gently tickled his back.
The little one continued to giggle gleefully.
“As long as you live happily, that’s good enough. There’s no need for earth-shattering abilities, even if you’re just an ordinary human, happiness is enough. Some people live longer than heaven and earth, and yet they might not laugh as sweetly as our Little Fengning.”
“Hey, my disrespectful disciple, don’t throw shade like that.” Qing peeled off a piece of green moss from the wall and tossed it into the Divine Blood Pool.
The turbid grey that had been seeping out of Little Fengning’s body quickly disappeared without a trace.
“This moss?”
“It has the effect of exorcising demons and purifying spirits. You can dig it all up.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“I won’t be following you anymore.”
“Where are you going, Master?”
“To the Asura Realm.”
“What are you going to do there, Master?”
“When I left, I accidentally discovered the aura of an old friend. I didn’t expect to find him in the Asura Realm.”
“Who is it? My Mistress?” Sally teased.
“Who just said they wanted to hit on their Master?”
“…Haha, just kidding. Who would have thought Master would look so young, not at all like a Master should look.”
“So what do you think your Master should look like?”
“An old man with a youthful face and white hair?”
“…” Qing, too lazy to bother with her anymore, said, “Two oil lamps, one for you, one for Master. If you encounter any trouble, just rub the lamp, and Master will know. I’ll help you if I can, and even if I can’t, I’ll still help you.”
Sally laughed, “Even though Master is young, he’s still very reliable.”
Qing teleported to her side, patted her head, “Now that you have no talent, you should properly cultivate the ‘Supreme One Technique’. Only by mastering it can you better protect the children. Don’t hurt yourself anymore; as your teacher, I don’t want to see you cut open your heart again.”
“Thank you, Master.” Sally lowered her eyes and took out a baby bottle from the space, feeding Little Fengning.
Qing’s figure gradually disappeared.
In the entire tomb chamber, only Sally and her child were left, making it especially somber.
…
Divine Beast Academy.
Xiaoqi and Putao sat in the front row.
The old master kept getting distracted during the lecture, glancing over at the two of them. Xiaoqi was pretending to nap with closed eyes, perfectly still, while Putao sat upright, listening attentively.
“Student Zi Yuxi, explain- ‘Sui wan bang lou Fengning,’ what does it mean?” the old master asked with a smile, looking at Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi had a little bubble at the nose, completely oblivious and actually fast asleep.
Putao nudged her.
The bubble popped, and Xiaoqi woke up, “Hmm, is class over? Let’s go back to the palace.”
Old Master: “…Student Zi Yuxi, explain- ‘Sui wan bang lou Fengning,’ what does it mean?”
Putao nudged Xiaoqi again, “When all the beasts under heaven are harmonious and friendly, they can enjoy bountiful harvests and prosperity year after year.”
Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, “Your grandpa was calling Student Zi Yuxi… Huh? The name Zi Yuxi sounds so familiar.”
“That’s your big name! He’s asking you to answer the question,” Putao said urgently.
Xiaoqi suddenly realized, “Oh, Grandpa Zong is asking if I agree with Putao’s answer, right? He’s not wrong; I think it’s quite accurate.”
Putao: “…”
The old master chuckled, “Alright, sit down.”
Xiaoqi, “Thank you, Grandpa Zong.”
Once the old master continued lecturing and stopped paying attention to them, Xiaoqi asked Putao, “What was the question again?”
Putao felt drained…
Rong Ruo, peering through the window of the classroom, immediately spotted the six-tailed Lushu and the little white mouse sitting in the front row!
