44: Chapter 44 Deep Affection Between Master and Disciple

Yang Yao ran back to the Alchemy room in the Alchemy Hall as if fleeing.

Ji Taichang, however, did not return to the Sect; instead, he changed into black clothes and took to the sky.

His powerful Golden Core Stage Ninth Level cultivation erupted, and his speed was incredibly fast, returning him to the depths of the Heishui Mountains in mere moments.

After a night of rest and healing, the injuries inside that crocodile had improved significantly, and it was currently lying listlessly in the marshland, resting.

Suddenly, the sky went dark.

A giant palm descended from the sky, emitting majestic pressure, as if it were a divine punishment from the Heavenly Dao!

With a "boom," the crocodile did not even have the slightest chance to resist before being slapped into mincemeat.

Ji Taichang casually plucked the cicada chirp grass, then turned and left, returning to the Sect.

Upon nearing the Qingyun Sect, Ji Taichang took off his black clothes, circulated his Turtle Breath Art, restored his original appearance and aura, and entered the Sect's territory at a leisurely pace.

He first wandered around the main hall of the Alchemy Hall for a while, feeling bored, then knocked open the door to Yang Yao's Alchemy room.

"Come in quickly."

Yang Yao looked around with a guilty conscience, and after discovering that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly pulled Ji Taichang inside and closed the door.

You have to admit it.

This feeling of sneaking around was truly a bit thrilling.

Ji Taichang licked his lips and wrapped his arms around Yang Yao's slender, soft willow waist from behind.

"Don't..."

Yang Yao felt her legs go weak, and she hurriedly let out a soft moan.

Seeing this, Ji Taichang did not continue to tease her; instead, he took the cicada chirp grass from his Storage Ring and handed it over.

"This is... the cicada chirp grass!?"

"When, when did you pick this?"

Yang Yao's heart shook, and her pure, beautiful face was filled with surprise.

Ji Taichang smiled and said, "I just bought this in Heifeng City."

A warm current surged in Yang Yao's heart, and she was very moved!

"Mwah!"

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Ji Taichang hard on the face, saying affectionately, "Xiao Chang, you are so good to me; I don't even know how to repay you..."

"There is a way to repay me."

Ji Taichang, however, curled his lips into a mischievous smile, staring at Yang Yao's rosy little mouth.

"Oh."

...

The sun set in the west.

Only then did Ji Taichang leave the Alchemy Hall and return to his residence.

"Heh, I thought you had already run away; I didn't expect you to dare to come back."

An indifferent voice rang out, accompanied by a cold and terrifying aura.

But this time, Ji Taichang did not have the slightest bit of fear or apprehension!

He turned around and calmly looked straight into Yang Weile's eyes: "How could that be? I haven't completed the task Master gave me yet."

Yang Weile narrowed his eyes slightly.

He discovered that this Disciple of his was a bit different; his gaze was calm and indifferent, and he could no longer see any apprehension or awe, and there was even a hint of looking down on him!

"It seems you have already prepared for the task to fail."

Yang Weile grinned, thinking that Ji Taichang had already accepted death and was preparing to meet it, which was why he was unafraid of him.

"Perhaps."

Ji Taichang replied noncommittally.

Yang Weile sneered, grabbed Ji Taichang's shoulder, took him into the air, and soon arrived at his courtyard.

Lin Xueyue was wearing a light purple dress today, which perfectly outlined her tall and curvaceous figure, especially her mature and beautiful face, which carried a hint of natural charm that was extremely eye-catching.

But in the courtyard, besides Lin Xueyue, there was also a young man in black clothes, whose eyes were full of greed and evil thoughts, staring tightly at Lin Xueyue.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

When he saw Yang Weile and Ji Taichang appear, the young man hurriedly bowed to Yang Weile.

Ji Taichang frowned: "Isn't there still one day left? Why did Master bring Senior Brother Wang Guomao over?"

Yang Weile snorted coldly: "I already gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you were useless! Tonight, you and Wang Guomao go together."

"Many thanks for the Grand Elder's favor!"

Wang Guomao was overjoyed, his eyes filled with evil light and greed, and he grinned maliciously: "Junior Brother Ji, I didn't expect you to eat so well on weekdays; next, this Senior Brother should also get a share. We will go one after the other..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Lin Xueyue shouted angrily, drew a precious sword with a "clang," and held it directly against her own neck!

Her beautiful eyes were slightly red, filled with anger and hatred, and she stared fixedly at Yang Weile!

"Yang Weile!"

"We have been married for fifteen years; even if we haven't had physical intimacy, we still have the bond of husband and wife!"

"Yet for the position of Sect Master, you use such base and dirty means to humiliate me. Are you even a man?!"

"You make me feel sick!"

"I would rather die than let you succeed!"

After saying this, Lin Xueyue actually swung the sword directly toward her own neck, her eyes full of the will to die!

Yang Weile's gaze turned cold!

Bang!

He waved his large hand, and a wisp of terrifying black Devilish Qi flashed by. Lin Xueyue's sword instantly flew out, exploded in mid-air, and turned into countless fragments.

But Lin Xueyue laughed miserably, spiritual power circulating between her palms, and she decisively slapped her own head, extremely fierce and unyielding!

Unfortunately, she did not succeed.

Yang Weile slapped Lin Xueyue on her Dantian, and a terrifying Devilish Qi eroded it, sealing her Meridians and acupoints, causing all her spiritual power to stagnate, unable to mobilize even a single bit!

Yang Weile withdrew his palm, clasped his hands behind his back, and said in an indifferent tone, "She cannot resist now; you two go together."

"Many thanks for the Grand Elder's favor!"

Wang Guomao rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes full of greed and evil thoughts, and immediately pounced toward Lin Xueyue, preparing to take advantage of the situation.

Seeing this, Lin Xueyue's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with despair!

But just at this moment, Wang Guomao's body froze in place, his head went rolling away, and blood gushed out.

Ji Taichang lightly flicked his quick sword and slowly sheathed it.

"Xiao Chang..."

Lin Xueyue was stunned for a moment, then struggled to lift her head, looking at the tall and upright figure protecting her.

[Ding! Detected Lin Xueyue's favorability increased by 10 points. Temporarily unable to obtain 10% of Yang Weile's cultivation/ability.]

[Lin Xueyue's favorability: 50 (When favorability reaches 100, a surprise will occur!)]

"Ji Taichang!"

"You have already brought a path of death upon yourself!"

A terrifying bloody light lit up in Yang Weile's eyes, Devilish Qi intertwined around his body, and a cold, creepy aura rushed toward them, enough to make one's hair stand on end and make their heart tremble!

"Is that so?"

Ji Taichang grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth: "However, today I would like to invite Master to die!"

He raised the quick sword in his hand, a cold light flashed across the bright blade, and he pointed the sword at Yang Weile!

"You don't know whether to live or die!"

Yang Weile's eyes were indifferent, his whole body's Devilish Qi surged, and he slapped his palm toward Ji Taichang!
