197: Chapter 197 Miao Xian Awakens

On the other side, Xiang Tian defeated Ouyang Qing once again.

With one hand, he clamped down on Ouyang Qing's wrist, leaving her unable to move a muscle.

"Second Senior Sister, is there any need to keep fighting?"

Ouyang Qing was annoyed, yet hidden deep in her eyes was an unmistakable sense of gratification.

She looked at the reborn Xiang Tian before her.

She murmured softly, "You brat, what on earth have you been through? Back in the Phantom God Forest, you still had to hide behind me for protection!"

After all, Xiang Tian was ultimately one of their own now.

Xiang Tian loosened his grip slightly and asked again, "So, do you concede?"

"This Senior Sister concedes!" Ouyang Qing said crisply and decisively.

This contest between the Junior Brother and Senior Sister thus came to an end.

Hearing this, Xiang Tian immediately released her hand.

Not far away, Yuyi walked over with a smile, her gaze falling upon the two of them.

"Junior Brother, since even Second Senior Sister is no match for you, it seems it won't be long before you surpass even me."

For Xiang Tian to possess such strength so soon after entering the Sect, their Master had truly struck gold.

Ouyang Qing rubbed her wrist, which had been gripped until it felt slightly numb.

She chuckled, "Eldest Senior Sister, I don't think you're necessarily his match right now."

When they were sparring, she felt that Xiang Tian was still holding back and hadn't unleashed his true strength at all.

"Oh? Really?" The interest in Yuyi's eyes instantly intensified, and she looked at Xiang Tian with a burning gaze.

"Why don't you spar with him and find out?" Ouyang Qing raised an eyebrow.

Yuyi, however, gently shook her head. "No, I'm about to go into seclusion."

"Senior Sister, are you planning to break through to the Saint Realm?" A flicker of envy flashed instantly in Ouyang Qing's eyes.

"Yes!" Yuyi nodded faintly.

"This is all thanks to Junior Brother Xiang Tian's sage grass. With the support of such a top-tier Spiritual Plant, it would be inexcusable if I still couldn't advance."

Xiang Tian and Xiahou Yun immediately cupped their fists and congratulated her in unison, "Congratulations in advance, Senior Sister!"

Although the sage grass couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success in helping someone become a Saint, given Yuyi's talent, the probability of success was extremely high, and they all firmly believed in it.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Lotus's voice suddenly came from the depths of the secret chamber.

"Xiang Tian, come in for a moment."

"Huh? Did I hear that right?" Xiang Tian was stunned.

"Since she told you to go, go quickly. Don't dawdle," Yuyi urged him gently.

Xiang Tian, confused, scratched his head and pushed open the door to enter the secret chamber.

As soon as he stepped in, he gasped at the scene before him.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Inside the secret chamber, both Lotus and Master Miaoxian were wearing only thin undergarments, their skin glowing and supple.

The erotic scene left Xiang Tian frozen in place, at a complete loss for what to do.

Noticing his gaze, Lotus furrowed her willow-leaf brows.

She glared at him, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and come help!"

"Ah? I... what can I help with?" Xiang Tian asked with a blank expression.

"Isn't the reason she's become like this because of you?" Lotus's tone turned a bit colder.

Reminded by her, Xiang Tian instantly came to his senses.

Wasn't his Master, Master Miaoxian, in this delirious state because of Ancestor Ouyang's outburst of negative emotions?

And the root cause of Ancestor Ouyang's outburst was the emotional Black Dragon.

In the end, this matter really had to be blamed on him.

"Oh! I'll release Little Black right now and have it take back the negative emotions." Xiang Tian quickly responded.

A black shadow appeared out of thin air and landed beside the stone bed.

"Little Black, I don't need to remind you. You know what to do, right?" Xiang Tian instructed coldly.

"Don't worry, Boss. Leave it to me!" Little Black nodded.

"I can guarantee that I will absorb all the negative emotions from her body, but as for whether she will wake up, I cannot guarantee that."

As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible black current surged from Master Miaoxian's body.

That was the accumulated negative emotions, flowing toward Little Black like a tidal wave.

A moment later, Little Black let out a small burp.

It said to Xiang Tian, "Alright, Boss, it's all absorbed!"

Xiang Tian's brows were tightly locked as he raised his hand to retract Little Black into the System space.

His gaze fell upon Master Miaoxian on the stone bed. "What's going on? Master still hasn't woken up."

On the surface, Master Miaoxian's complexion was rosy and her breathing was steady.

She was no different from a normal person, showing no signs of abnormality whatsoever.

Lotus stepped forward and lightly placed her fingertips on Master Miaoxian's pulse.

She checked her carefully, inside and out.

"Your Master is indeed quite normal. There are no injuries on her body, and her breathing is very steady."

"Then why isn't Master waking up?" Xiang Tian's brows furrowed even tighter.

The confusion in his heart deepened.

"This situation is too unique. I have never encountered it before." Lotus was also somewhat helpless and gently shook her head.

Just as the two were confused and at their wit's end, Master Miaoxian on the stone bed suddenly moved slightly, and soft murmurs escaped her lips.

Her voice was choked with sobs, "Brother, do you not want me anymore? Hurry and wake up, open your eyes and look at me, please..."

Her hand suddenly shot out and grabbed Xiang Tian, who was beside her, in a death grip.

Caught off guard, Xiang Tian stumbled.

He fell straight down, landing right on top of Master Miaoxian.

"Master! Don't!" Xiang Tian was horrified.

He had seen Master Miaoxian's black-bellied side with his own eyes.

If Master were to wake up at this moment and see this scene, he would likely lose his life!

"Brother, you're finally awake..." Master Miaoxian seemed not to hear his words.

Instead, she stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.

Xiang Tian used all his strength to try and break free, but he couldn't move a muscle.

He could only shout in desperation, "Lotus, come and help me!"

But Lotus seemed not to hear his plea for help, standing to the side, indifferent.

She said calmly, "Your Master is likely overcome with grief and is currently delirious. All you can do now is go along with her and not cause her any more sorrow. I'm going out now."

As she finished speaking, her figure flashed and she vanished from the secret chamber.

"Seriously? That's so heartless!" Xiang Tian looked helpless, groaning inwardly.

Just then, Lotus's teasing voice drifted into his ears from outside the secret chamber door.

"Heh, you should be secretly happy about this!"

"Brother, you won't leave me behind again this time, will you?" Master Miaoxian's voice sounded again, hugging him even tighter.

"Master, hurry and open your eyes and look, I'm your disciple, Xiang Tian!"

Xiang Tian was so anxious, where would he have any thought of being "secretly happy"?

Once she regained her senses, this debt would probably be enough to cause him a world of trouble.

"My disciple?" Master Miaoxian's voice held a hint of confusion, and the strength of her hold on Xiang Tian loosened slightly.

The next second, her eyes slowly opened, and her clear eyes landed on Xiang Tian, who was lying on top of her.

She was instantly stunned.

"Uh... Master, I didn't mean to, I was..." Xiang Tian hurriedly tried to explain.

But before he could finish his sentence, a massive and boundless Aura suddenly erupted from within Master Miaoxian, blasting him away violently.

"Ah—" Xiang Tian let out a miserable scream, crashed to the ground, and instantly passed out.

"Bang!" With a loud crash, the door to the secret chamber was violently pushed open.

Lotus flashed in, and upon seeing Xiang Tian lying on the ground unconscious, her heart leaped into her throat, and she cried out in shock, "Xiang Tian!"

Immediately following her, Xiahou Yun, Yuyi, and Ouyang Qing rushed in as well.

Seeing the scene before them, their faces instantly turned pale.

They shouted in unison, "Master, you're finally awake!"

Three days later, inside the secret chamber.

Master Miaoxian stood by the stone bed, looking at the still-weak Xiang Tian lying on the bed.

"Disciple, do not blame your Master. That day, Master was just careless for a moment..."

Xiang Tian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he grumbled internally.

Master Miaoxian was a genuine Saint Realm expert, and not just an ordinary Saint Realm expert at that.

Being so close at the time, if her strike had been just a little bit heavier, he would likely have kicked the bucket.

"Master, you really went too far this time!" Xiahou Yun stayed by the bedside, her eyes slightly red.

For these past three days, she had not left the secret chamber for a single step, her heart constantly suspended in her throat.

"I..." Master Miaoxian opened her mouth, but the words died on her lips, and she didn't know how to begin.

[Host, this is the reason why this System did not help you with treatment.] The System's voice rang out in Xiang Tian's mind, carrying a hint of schadenfreude.

"Sophistry!" Xiang Tian gritted his teeth in anger and roared in his heart.

This damn System was just taking revenge on him!

[According to this System's analysis, women are extremely prone to venting their anger on others.]

[If you had climbed up from the ground immediately, do you think your Master would have listened to your explanation? I fear she would only have beaten you up again!]

Xiang Tian's heart stirred, and upon careful thought, it was indeed possible.

After all, he had indeed been lying on top of Master Miaoxian at the time.

Everything that should have been touched was touched; even if he had a thousand words, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

"Ahem... That is just sophistry." Xiang Tian coughed twice.

However, these three days of lying in bed were not without their gains.

At least, Xiahou Yun had truly, as a woman, personally washed his body for him.

Although those who Cultivate have long had no need for such tedious tasks, Xiahou Yun said that this was a "sense of ritual," which made him feel warm inside.

"Little Yun, don't blame Master anymore," Xiang Tian looked at Xiahou Yun.

"She only lost control unintentionally; I don't blame her."

"Disciple, you... have you really forgiven your Master?" A flicker of surprise flashed instantly in Master Miaoxian's eyes.
