474: Chapter 474 The Shy Master

"So, you mean that after you broke through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, you sensed a hidden spatial coordinate located in Liefeng Immortal Prefecture from these two Flying Swords left by Immortal Venerable Fenyue?"

Pei Yuening, Qin Shishi, and the others all looked at Ji Taichang in unison.

"That's right."

Ji Taichang nodded.

After all, he couldn't expose the existence of the Demoness, so Ji Taichang had to make up an excuse.

"Good, let's go and take a look together."

Pei Yuening nodded, not doubting him at all, as she trusted Ji Taichang implicitly.

Ji Taichang, however, shook his head: "It's better to send Shishi and the others back to the Sect first. Revered Master and I can just go and take a look."

The Demoness's behavior was a bit off, and Ji Taichang had a feeling that this trip wouldn't go too smoothly.

Pei Yuening had broken through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, and her strength was powerful enough to be a great asset.

But if he brought Qin Shishi and the others along, he might not be able to protect them if they encountered danger, so it would be better to let them return to the Sect first.

"Alright."

Pei Yuening formed a hand seal, and the Immortal Monarch Realm-level Immortal power circulated. The lightning under her feet became increasingly intense, and her speed increased.

"I must Cultivate in seclusion well when I get back. In the future, I must fight side-by-side with Revered Master and Senior Brother!"

Yun Zhi clenched her small fists, her pretty face filled with high fighting spirit.

Qin Shishi, on the other hand, gave a bitter smile, deeply aware of how terrifying Ji Taichang's talent was; it was something she could never catch up to in this lifetime.

Yao Yao's eyes rolled around, and a playful smile appeared on her face: "Revered Master, Junior Brother, why don't you bring me along? I gained a lot in the Immortal Cave, and I've already broken through to the fourth level of the Profound Immortal Realm. I definitely won't hold you back."

Pei Yuening's red lips parted slightly, and just as she was about to refuse, Yao Yao flashed over and hugged her arm, shaking it gently. Her beautiful, pure face was filled with a pitiful expression.

"Take me with you, Revered Master, please..."

After all, Yao Yao was her Personal Disciple who had been with her for over two hundred years, and their relationship was like mother and daughter. Pei Yuening softened a bit.

She pursed her lips: "This matter still needs to be asked..."

"Take me with you, good Junior Brother..."

Yao Yao hugged Ji Taichang's arm at lightning speed, repeating her old trick and began to act cutesy. That pair of fluffy white tiger ears also swayed along.

A delicate and cute cat-girl acting pitiful while hugging him and acting cutesy made Ji Taichang's heart stir, and he softened.

His Eldest Senior Sister was at the fourth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, and with her White Tiger Bloodline, her combat power was not weaker than the fifth or sixth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, so she wouldn't really be holding them back.

"Fine."

Ji Taichang agreed reluctantly.

"Yay!"

Yao Yao jumped up happily, her fluffy tail wagging, looking very lively and cute.

"I want to go too!"

Yun Zhi also jumped up, hugging Ji Taichang's arm and started acting cutesy.

That little bundle was very soft, and combined with the way the pure and pretty Yun Zhi was acting cutesy, Ji Taichang hesitated slightly before nodding in agreement.

Actually, his main intention was to increase Yun Zhi's favorability and win her over!

But if he did that, he figured Revered Master would be unhappy, right?

Then, should he win over Revered Master first?

...

Pei Yuening flew at full speed, and it took less than a day to return to the Benlei Sect from Holy Heaven Island.

This time, that girl Cai Ling didn't jump out to welcome them immediately.

Ji Taichang swept his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes across, and soon saw Cai Ling's figure in a treasure land within the Benlei Sect.

She was sitting cross-legged in a valley, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was continuously gathering towards her. Her entire body was flowing with seven-colored rosy light, and her pretty face even carried a bit of an otherworldly aura.

"She is attempting a Breakthrough to the Immortal Monarch Realm!"

Pei Yuening's gaze also turned towards Cai Ling, a hint of joy appearing on her face.

If Cai Ling could break through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, it would be a great joyous event for both Ji Taichang and the Benlei Sect.

When that time came, with two Immortal Monarchs in the Benlei Sect, not to mention Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, it could even be considered a major Sect in Tianlan Province!

However... Cai Ling and Ji Taichang were, after all, people from the Taixu Immortal Sect, and they would eventually leave one day.

A thought suddenly popped into Pei Yuening's mind, and her originally joyful mood was instantly diluted, her expression dimming slightly.

"Unless... I am together with Taichang, becoming Dao Companions..."

A new thought uncontrollably surfaced in Pei Yuening's mind, recalling the intimate contact between her and Ji Taichang, as well as the time Ji Taichang had confessed his feelings to her with deep affection.

"Pah, pah, pah... Pei Yuening, oh Pei Yuening, you are letting your imagination run wild again!"

"He is your disciple! There is a several-hundred-year age gap between you..."

Pei Yuening hurriedly scolded herself inwardly, shaking her head, trying to cast this rebellious thought to the back of her mind.

But she was, after all, a normal woman, so naturally, she would have desires.

In the past, she hadn't sought a Dao Companion because her standards were very high, and there were no men in Liefeng Immortal Prefecture who caught her eye.

Only Ji Taichang was different; he was incomparably handsome, had peerless talent, and had helped her with so many things, bestowing upon her numerous Opportunities and good fortune...

"Revered Master, what's wrong?"

Ji Taichang's Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes keenly detected the change in Pei Yuening's emotions; a wisp of rosy flush seemed to appear on her cold and beautiful face, and her breathing was a bit rapid, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"No, it's nothing."

"Everyone, go back and prepare. We will set off in half an hour."

Pei Yuening left as if fleeing, returned to her Immortal Cave, sat cross-legged on a white jade bed, and began to meditate to circulate her energy, gradually calming her chaotic thoughts and state of mind.

She had finally managed to restore her cold and beautiful Fairy appearance, but various strange sounds came to her ears.

Slap—

"Oh, oh... I, I can't take it anymore. Sister Shishi, it's your turn. You must drain this bad guy dry, so he doesn't go flirting with other women outside again..."

"B-but this knowledge is so embarrassing... Ugh..."

"Pfft!"

"This little lecher!! He didn't put up a Barrier again!"

Pei Yuening's cold and beautiful face turned bright red with a "whoosh," feeling very embarrassed and angry.

After she broke through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, her Divine Sense perception had already risen to a very astonishing level. Even if she didn't intentionally pay attention, Ji Taichang's small courtyard was originally very close to her Immortal Cave, and every subtle movement and detail was clearly perceived by her, as if it were happening right in front of her.

Pei Yuening was, after all, an inexperienced young maiden; how could she withstand such stimulation?

Her face was flushed, and she was both embarrassed and angry, subconsciously wanting to close off her perception.

But when she thought about the fact that she was the only Immortal Monarch in the Sect, it would be troublesome if the Sect encountered a crisis while she had closed off her perception.

At this thought, Pei Yuening could only walk towards Ji Taichang's courtyard, intending to set up a Barrier for him.

But her perception as an Immortal Monarch was still too strong. Even without intentionally peeping, the door and walls of Ji Taichang's room were like non-existent in her eyes, and she instantly saw the fragrant and amorous scene inside clearly.

"It, it can even be like this??"

"Taichang's body is actually so, so strong..."

That embarrassing knowledge appeared before her eyes, extremely impactful, causing Pei Yuening's already slightly red face to instantly turn crimson, and her heart beat very fast.

[Ding! Pei Yuening's favorability increased by 6 points]

[Pei Yuening's favorability: 78 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]
