113: Help! The disciple's love is too heavy! (Long chapter)
Chu Weiwei, at some unknown point, had another silver needle in her hand, twirling it deftly between her fingers, its tip glinting coldly in the sunlight.
When Su Lin saw that silver needle, he immediately cried out in his heart, “This is bad!”
If I stay here today, I’m afraid I’ll be finished.
He glimpsed the only exit above his head and no longer hesitated for a moment.
He unleashed all the Spiritual Qi he could mobilize in an instant.
The strength of this power was so immense that it forcibly opened a slight gap in Ye You’s tough tail.
Su Lin seized this fleeting opportunity, his body transforming into a golden light, and like an arrow shot from a bowstring, he soared into the sky, heading straight for that sole path to survival.
“Do you want to test your strength just after improving your cultivation? Too bad it’s not enough,” Ye You said.
“Don’t say he’s only at the Soul Transformation Stage now; even if he reached the Void Refining Stage, he’d still be a long way from us!” Chu Weiwei added.
Facing his escape, Ye You and Chu Weiwei showed no surprise on their faces; instead, they exchanged a smile.
Both raised their hands almost simultaneously.
A dark green demonic power and a moon-white Spiritual Qi, like two living chains, struck from behind but arrived first, wrapping themselves around Su Lin’s limbs with pinpoint accuracy, freezing his fleeing form in mid-air.
The next moment, both forces pulled back simultaneously.
Su Lin only felt a tremendous force, and his entire body was once again yanked down from the air, falling back onto the cold yet scorching stone slab.
Ye You raised her hand, and the only escape route was slowly sealed by vines.
He heard footsteps behind him and Chu Weiwei’s sweet voice.
“Revered Master, the game is over; it’s time for your medicine ♡.”
Immediately after, Ye You’s slightly hoarse, possessive voice also rang out.
“This time, it’s my turn first.”
Many days later.
Su Lin woke up again, feeling as if all the bones in his body had been taken apart and reassembled, leaving him sore and weak, yet the Spiritual Qi surging through his Meridians was more abundant than ever before.
He moved his fingers and found himself lying on the large stone slab, covered by one of Ye You’s outer robes, his nose still catching the lingering, unique scent of the Demon Emperor.
Not far away, a bonfire crackled.
Ye You and Chu Weiwei were sitting cross-legged on either side of the fire, staring at each other.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten anything,” Chu Weiwei said.
As a Body Integration Stage expert, she no longer needed to eat, but the food in front of her still made her mouth water.
Ye You held a skewer of golden, oily, unknown beast meat, its aroma wafting everywhere. “This is for Revered Master. If you want to eat, go catch your own.”
The beast meat was roasted until its skin was crispy, yet the inside remained tender, and the rich meaty aroma, mixed with Spiritual Qi, constantly stimulated one’s taste buds.
“Revered Master is awake.”
Chu Weiwei was the first to notice his movement, immediately stood up, a sweet smile on her face, and quickly walked towards him.
Ye You also dropped her roasted meat and followed closely behind.
“Revered Master, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?”
Chu Weiwei asked with concern, reaching out to take Su Lin’s pulse.
Su Lin instinctively recoiled.
“I’m fine.”
He cleared his throat, trying to maintain his Revered Master’s dignity, “My cultivation is stable, and my condition is very good.”
“That’s good then,”
Ye You squeezed past Chu Weiwei and offered the skewer of golden roasted beast meat to Su Lin’s mouth.
“Revered Master must be hungry. I specially went to catch this Red Flame Qilin Ox; it’s very nourishing.”
The rich aroma of meat wafted towards him, and Su Lin’s stomach indeed felt a pang of emptiness.
He was about to open his mouth when Chu Weiwei’s voice softly sounded.
“Revered Master has just consolidated his cultivation, and his body is in its purest state; it’s not suitable to eat such fiery food.”
She pulled out a small white jade bowl from somewhere, which contained half a bowl of clear soup, emanating an elegant medicinal fragrance.
“This is a Hundred Herb Jade Dew Soup that Weiwei brewed with morning dew and hundreds of mild Spiritual Plants; it’s most suitable for nourishing Revered Master’s current body.”
Ye You’s brows furrowed: “What good is that bland, watery stuff of yours? After a great battle, Revered Master needs to replenish his Qi and blood!”
Chu Weiwei smiled: “Fourth Junior Sister doesn’t understand medicine; I don’t blame you.
The Red Flame Qilin Ox’s energy is too violent. If Revered Master eats it, it will certainly replenish Spiritual Qi, but it will also leave fire toxins in his body.
At that time, won’t I still have to clean it up for Revered Master?”
Su Lin looked at the roasted meat and the clear soup in front of him, and his two disciple began to draw swords again, feeling his head start to ache once more.
“Give them all to me.”
He took the roasted meat in his left hand and the jade bowl in his right.
“This Revered Master will eat both.”
Seeing that Su Lin did not favor either side, the two temporarily ceased their hostilities, but their gazes remained fixed on Su Lin, as if watching whose gift was more popular.
Su Lin first took a large bite of the roasted meat.
The Red Flame Qilin Ox’s meat was firm and springy, and the fire-attributed energy contained within it instantly burst in his mouth, transforming into a warm current that surged into his body; it was indeed a great tonic.
He then took a sip of the Jade Dew Soup.
The sweet soup melted in his mouth, and a gentle, peaceful medicinal power instantly flowed through his entire body, perfectly neutralizing the violent fiery energy and transforming it into purer energy that was easier to absorb.
One was domineering, the other gentle.
Combined, the effect was surprisingly good.
“Hmm, both are good,” Su Lin nodded, giving a fair evaluation.
This assessment made both disciple show satisfied expressions.
But the next moment, a new problem arose.
Just as Su Lin was about to take another bite of meat, Ye You suddenly reached out and took the roasted meat from his hand.
“Revered Master, this is too big; I’ll tear it open for you.”
As she spoke, her slender fingers exerted force, easily tearing off a strip of the tenderest loin from it, and offered it to Su Lin’s mouth again.
Su Lin was about to open his mouth when, on the other side, Chu Weiwei also came over with the jade bowl, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a small white jade spoon, and offered it to the other side of his lips.
“Revered Master, after eating meat, you should drink some soup so it won’t be greasy ♡.”
Su Lin froze.
On his left was the roasted meat offered by Ye You, and on his right was the soup offered by Chu Weiwei.
No matter which side he ate first now, he would offend the other.
He looked at the “kind” gazes of his two disciple, feeling less like he was eating a meal and more like he was making a life-or-death decision.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Su Lin tried to regain the initiative, reaching out to take the food from their hands.
“No.”
Both refused in unison.
Ye You’s reason was: “You just woke up; you don’t have the strength.”
Chu Weiwei’s reason was: “A patient should act like a patient and listen to the doctor.”
After speaking, the two exchanged glances again, both seeing an unyielding will in the other’s eyes.
So, Su Lin was caught in the middle, fed a bite of meat on his left and a sip of soup on his right.
He only needed to open his mouth and chew, doing nothing else.
The meal left Su Lin mentally exhausted.
Finally, the food was completely gone.
Su Lin let out a long breath, thinking the torment was finally over.
However, Chu Weiwei suddenly took out a clean white silk scarf and gently said, “Revered Master, there’s oil on your mouth; Weiwei will wipe it for you.”
At the same time, Ye You also took out a dark green handkerchief, her tone firm: “Use mine.”
Su Lin looked at the handkerchiefs once again offered to both sides of his face and closed his eyes.
He was tired.
He just wanted his seventh disciple, Mu Qingxue, to freeze him into an ice block so he could calm down.
He snatched one handkerchief with one hand and the other with the other, then roughly wiped his mouth twice.
“Alright, it’s all clean.”
However, he underestimated them.
“Revered Master, you used my silk scarf first.”
Chu Weiwei’s eyes sparkled, and her tone carried a hint of triumphant joy.
“Nonsense, my handkerchief clearly touched Revered Master’s lips first!” Ye You immediately retorted, not giving an inch.
“I saw very clearly, it was the left side that was wiped first.”
“It was clearly the right side!”
Su Lin threw both handkerchiefs to the ground and stood up.
“Both of you, shut up!” He emphasized his tone, “This Revered Master is going to bathe now.”
Su Lin walked towards the depths of the cave; he had just detected with his Divine Sense that there seemed to be a hot spring a little further inside the cave.
The word “bathe” acted like a switch, instantly giving the two sword-drawing women a new direction for competition.
Su Lin quickly walked to the depths of the cave and indeed found a natural hot spring. Steam rose, the water was clear, and some faintly glowing moss grew on the surrounding rock walls, creating a serene and elegant environment.
“Not bad,” Su Lin thought, a hint of satisfaction forming in his heart, “This place is alright.”
“No.”
Chu Weiwei’s voice followed closely, carrying a hint of a physician’s pickiness.
“The spring water here has too many minerals and impure Spiritual Qi. Revered Master’s body is precious; bathing in this water will allow Impurities to invade his body, doing more harm than good.”
“Since when was this Revered Master’s body so delicate??”
With his current body, let alone a mineral hot spring, even bathing in lava would be no problem.
However, Chu Weiwei completely ignored his protest, just looking at him seriously.
“Revered Master’s current body is an artwork that Weiwei and Fourth Junior Sister have carefully nurtured together; it cannot have the slightest flaw.”
Su Lin: “...”
What the hell is an artwork?
Before he could object, Chu Weiwei had already taken action.
With a flip of her palm, dozens of Spiritual Plants of various shapes and shimmering with light were tossed into the hot spring.
The Spiritual Plants dissolved upon entering the water, and the entire pool of clear spring water instantly turned a clear emerald green. An elegant medicinal fragrance replaced the original earthy scent.
“Now, this is the Hundred Herb Spiritual Liquid worthy of Revered Master.”
“Plop!”
A dull thud interrupted her triumph.
Ye You expressionlessly dropped a fist-sized, entirely crimson crystal into the pool.
Upon entering the water, the crystal not only didn’t extinguish but instead hissed, raising the temperature of the surrounding emerald green medicinal liquid by several degrees.
“The medicinal properties are too Yin and soft; add some fire to balance the Yin and Yang.”
Bright red firelight instantly spread through the emerald green medicinal liquid, forming patches of eerie red clouds.
Chu Weiwei’s forehead twitched.
That was Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Marrow! An object of ultimate Yang and rigidity! And it was just thrown in directly? The gentle medicinal properties she had painstakingly prepared were instantly destroyed completely!
She took a deep breath and once again took out a bottle of white powder emanating a sacred glow, pouring it all into the pool.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle...”
The pool water boiled even more violently. The crimson firelight and the emerald green began to merge strangely under the forced neutralization of the white light. Finally, the entire pool of water turned into an indescribably bubbly, viscous liquid.
Su Lin looked at the pool of water that seemed capable of melting even immortals, his forehead throbbing, and silently turned around, preparing to leave.
He felt that his dignity and personal safety were facing severe challenges.
“Revered Master, where are you going?”
Chu Weiwei’s voice came from behind, with a hint of innocent confusion.
Su Lin didn’t stop, “This Revered Master suddenly feels very clean and doesn’t need to bathe.”
“How can that be?”
“Revered Master, this soup looks scary, but it’s actually fine!
It combines the gentleness of a hundred herbs, the masculinity of fire marrow, and the neutralization of moon essence powder. If you don’t believe it, jump in and try it!”
Su Lin looked at her sincere purple eyes and finally couldn’t resist, raising his hand to tap her on the forehead.
“I’ll jump your head off!”
“Do you think this Revered Master is blind?
Look at that gurgling soup with green bubbles, smell this strange scent that’s both fragrant and foul; does it look like something you can bathe in??? ”
“But... the medicinal effect is really good,” Chu Weiwei said, covering her forehead with a wronged expression.
“Good for what! If this Revered Master goes in, he’ll either be over-nourished to death or poisoned to death!”
“No, he won’t.”
Ye You had also walked over at some unknown point. She stared expressionlessly at the pool of golden viscous liquid, her eyes surprisingly carrying a hint of anticipation.
“This stuff has a lot of energy; it’s good.”
Su Lin despaired.
One was crazy, and the other was also abnormal.
At this moment, both of them were looking at him suspiciously.
“Holy crap! What do you two want to do??”
“See, even Fourth Junior Sister says it’s good.”
“This Revered Master doesn’t care! This Revered Master is not bathing anyway!”
Chu Weiwei and Ye You exchanged glances.
The next moment, Ye You suddenly reached out and lightning-fast snatched a curious, unlucky squirrel from a nearby tree.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The squirrel struggled in her hand in terror.
“Third Senior Sister, prove it.” Ye You handed the squirrel over.
“Alright.”
Chu Weiwei took the squirrel.
“Plop!”
The squirrel fell into the pool, not even making a splash, instantly swallowed by the viscous liquid.
Su Lin’s eye twitched: “You... do you two really want to poison this Revered Master to death?!”
However, the next second.
In the center of that pool of golden liquid, a large bulge suddenly appeared, and then a golden light shot up into the sky!
“Squeak!!!”
The originally small squirrel had now more than tripled in size, and its fur stood on end.
Its two front paws had even grown several times larger.
It landed on the ground with a thud, then let out a roar to the sky.
That sound no longer had any of the squirrel’s cuteness; it was clearly a miniature Vicious Beast!
“See, Revered Master ♡.”
Chu Weiwei clapped her hands, an expression of “I told you so” on her face, and proudly said, “How could Weiwei lie to Revered Master!”
