136: Chapter 136 The Little Sect Master in a Sauna

Sect Master Bai Ruotong lay there peacefully.

She felt the warm spiritual power and boundless vitality continuously flowing from Mo Zixing's palms.

Her originally tense nerves slowly relaxed, and her breathing became long and steady.

So... it really was just treatment.

She figured he had just been trying to scare her earlier.

Thinking this, the Little Sect Master finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to feel at ease.

Mo Zixing's hand was a full size larger than hers.

His palm was broad, thick, and warm.

Being held so tightly by him actually gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

Every time she quietly opened her eyes to steal a glance at his focused profile, a faint, electric sensation would ripple through her body.

Her heart would pound along with it, and even her fingertips would feel slightly numb.

Could this... be the feeling of falling for someone?

Sect Master Bai Ruotong looked at her other small hand that wasn't being held and raised it, clenching it in the air.

It really is so small.

She thought silently to herself.

Although this body is small right now and looks like it hasn't grown much, her actual age is already quite significant.

She was probably older than Liu Qingyan, Su Li, and Jiang Yuwei combined.

If she were to truly be with Mo Zixing in the future, perhaps... she would be the one robbing the cradle.

No.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong quickly dismissed the thought.

This is just treatment; Mo Zixing shouldn't be interested in her type.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, the hand holding hers suddenly let go.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Just as she wanted to look up and ask what was wrong, another large, warm hand gently landed on her waist.

The world spun.

With a slight exertion of force, Mo Zixing easily turned her over, making her lie face down on the bed.

"Ouch, what are you doing all of a sudden!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong exclaimed, her cheeks instantly flushing red as she arched her body, trying to get up.

"Don't move."

Mo Zixing's voice came from above: "The lingering yin-cold Qi deep within your Meridians hasn't been cleared yet; massaging while lying prone is more effective."

As his words fell, his palm landed on her back, massaging with moderate pressure: "This is my exclusive massage technique. Consider yourself lucky to have the chance to enjoy it."

The spiritual power in his hands seeped into her body bit by bit with his movements.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong had originally wanted to struggle, but after he massaged her a few times, she truly felt her whole body go soft and comfortable, and she didn't want to move at all.

Since things had come to this, she had no choice but to lie there obediently.

But as he continued to massage, a wave of dry heat began to surge up from the depths of her Dantian, she didn't know when.

By the time she realized it, it had already spread throughout her entire body.

"So hot..."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong muttered softly, wriggling her body slightly: "Could you open a window? It's too hot."

"The heat is normal."

Mo Zixing's voice carried a hint of a smile: "It means the vitality within your body is recovering, and the yin-cold Qi is being forced out."

"However, since you've said as much, I will take your feelings into account a little."

Although he said that, he not only didn't open the window, but instead quietly increased the intensity of the fire-attribute spiritual power in his palms.

The scorching spiritual power flowed in endlessly, wrapping around Sect Master Bai Ruotong's entire body bit by bit.

She felt as if the blood in her body was about to boil.

A large amount of sweat seeped from her forehead, sliding down her burning cheeks.

The clothes on her body were already soaked through with sweat, clinging tightly to her, outlining her somewhat immature curves.

"I have to say."

Mo Zixing's voice sounded in her ear, seemingly carrying a trace of teasing: "Even in this small form, Sect Master Bai really is a budding beauty."

"That goes without saying."

Although Sect Master Bai Ruotong's little head was already feeling a bit dazed from the heat, her habit of being stubborn hadn't changed at all: "I am the face of the Mingyu Sect, a Sect Master who combines both talent and beauty."

"You fellow, you've seen what I looked like before, hmph..."

"If I could change back, I would definitely be able to charm you easily."

As she spoke, she began to boast: "Without me, the Mingyu Sect would be like it lost its sun."

"Oh?"

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow, his words merciless: "Then, since you are so amazing and so important to the Sect, Sect Master, how is it that Sect Master Bai has been gone for so many days, and no one in the Sect has noticed that the jade carving is missing?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong's voice instantly choked up: "This... this is because..."

She stammered for a long time without being able to come up with a reason.

A strong sense of loss welled up in her heart.

It was true that she was the Sect Master.

But she had been in a state of jadeification and slumber for many years, only recently being awakened by Mo Zixing.

Although she had sensed the Elders' attitudes, she still held onto some unrealistic hope.

But the ruthless reality was punctured by Mo Zixing in an instant.

Without her, the Mingyu Sect continued to function just the same.

So she had long since become a redundant person.

This realization was even more painful for her than the agony of jadeification.

Watching her little head droop, Mo Zixing reached out and gently untied her robes.

The sweat-dampened fabric slid down her shoulders, revealing the Little Sect Master's young, delicate skin.

At this moment, Sect Master Bai Ruotong still had her head lowered, trying to digest the emotions from just before.

Her dazed brain, heated and foggy, made her thinking sluggish, and she had absolutely no consciousness of resistance.

She just let Mo Zixing strip off her clothes bit by bit.

"It must be because they have been too busy lately, busy preparing for the celebration of your Core Formation, that's why..."

Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, and even she didn't believe it herself.

On the day Mo Zixing achieved his Breakthrough, one could tell by the numbers that all the Elders of the Sect had rushed to Qingsu Peak.

Clearly, it wasn't that they were too busy.

It was that so many years had passed, and no one truly cared about her, the Sect Master, anymore.

Seeing her expression of confusion, Mo Zixing just smiled slightly: "Perhaps after all these years, you, Sect Master, have become expendable."

He leaned down to Sect Master Bai Ruotong's ear and whispered in a low, seductive voice: "The Sect doesn't seem to value you at all, Sect Master."

"Impossible!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong lifted her head abruptly.

She wanted to argue loudly, wanting to prove the meaning of her existence to the Sect.

But she couldn't find any evidence.

Mo Zixing reached out, taking the opportunity to pull her into his embrace.

Sect Master Bai Ruotong was already drenched in fragrant sweat.

Pulled by him like this, her smooth, tender skin pressed tightly against his chest: "Don't be sad."

Mo Zixing's voice was gentle and earnest: "The Sect may not care about your life or death now, but I will absolutely never ignore your existence."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong looked up, instantly crashing into his deep eyes.

She really wanted to say something, but before the words could leave her mouth, a strange sensation came from her chest.

Mo Zixing had already seized the unripe grape.

A numbing electric current instantly spread throughout her whole body, interrupting all her thoughts.
