Chapter 68 – Not used to
Hearing that Shui Ling'er wanted to become his Dao Companion, the gloom in Lin Hao's heart vanished completely.
After Cui Qing'er and the other demonesses left, he didn't have a single woman by his side. Now with Shui Ling'er, at least he could free his hands.
Today, he was very happy!
But no matter how happy he was, he couldn't lose himself.
The other party chose to follow him at his lowest point, and this kindness was rare and precious.
So he decided to be honest with her.
"Ling'er, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
The blush on Shui Ling'er's pretty face hadn't faded. She asked, "What is it?"
"You should know that I practice dual cultivation, which requires the Primordial Yin of pure female cultivators to quickly enhance my strength.
So even if we become Dao Companions, I can't promise to be exclusive."
Shui Ling'er was well aware of the miraculous nature of his dual cultivation method, as she was a beneficiary herself. She didn't actually care how many women he would find.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen this moment to openly declare her intention to be his Dao Companion.
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as you're good to me, I'm willing to follow you."
"Of course, I'll be good to you."
Lin Hao rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement, and said, "My dear, let's do something we love to do now!"
"What?" Shui Ling'er didn't quite understand, so she was a bit confused for a moment.
Just as Lin Hao was about to answer, he received a message from his Master.
He felt a bit surprised. Wasn't his Master in seclusion? Why was he suddenly summoned?
Though he couldn't figure it out, he immediately got up and rushed over.
Before leaving, he instructed Shui Ling'er to wait for him there.
He flew with his sword to the peak of Great Bamboo Peak.
Seeing the graceful silhouette of his Master, Lin Hao felt a stir in his heart, wondering which lucky bastard would end up with such a stunning Master.
If only I could be that bastard.
Why do I keep having these wild thoughts? It's sinful, sinful, I must not disrespect my Master...
Stopping his wild thoughts, Lin Hao approached and asked, "Master, weren't you in seclusion?"
Feng Cangyue gazed at the sea of clouds, not turning her head, and said, "The sect is organizing a Demon Beast Hunting Competition, delving into the Demon Clan's lair. Naturally, we can't sit idly by; we must secretly protect the participating disciples."
Lin Hao felt a bit moved. Although his Master was somewhat unconventional, when it came to the sect's great cause, she was very willing to contribute.
"This time, all the elite disciples of the sect need to participate in the hunt. What are your thoughts?"
"If you don't want to participate, just go back to your cave dwelling and cultivate in seclusion. With me here, no one would dare say anything."
Lin Hao knew his Master had that capability, but... but he planned to participate.
"Master, I've decided to join this Demon Beast Hunting Competition!"
"Those fools have been spreading rumors about my unclear relationship with the Demon Clan. I'll use this to prove my determination to exterminate demons."
Hearing Lin Hao's response, Feng Cangyue showed no emotion, as if she didn't care about the matter.
But her actions showed she valued Lin Hao as a disciple.
"This is a Saint Yuan Pill. As long as you're not killed on the spot, it can save your life."
"This is armor made from the scales of a thousand-year-old flood dragon, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Golden Elixir cultivator."
"This Scarlet Spirit Sword, I snatched from an enemy when I was at the Golden Elixir stage..."
"..."
Divine weapons, armor, pills, talismans... any one of them would make Foundation Establishment cultivators fight tooth and nail.
Yet his Master bestowed them upon him without a second thought.
Lin Hao felt incredibly warm inside. His Master was probably the person who treated him the best in this world, bar none.
He felt guilty for his previous thoughts.
This was his Master, after all. How could he look at her with the eyes of a man?
Feng Cangyue said calmly, "You can participate, but it's best to keep a low profile. You must know that you're not only on the Demon Clan's radar but also a thorn in the side of some people within the sect."
Lin Hao nodded slightly. He knew that his affair with the little fox would surely reach the upper echelons of the Demon Clan. Having pushed their princess, it would be surprising if he wasn't hunted down.
As for within the sect...
Not to mention Elder Luo's faction, just the trouble he attracted from his recent rise to fame was enough to keep him busy.
With wolves and tigers lurking, it seemed every step was difficult.
Yet Lin Hao still decided to participate.
First, he had promised Shui Ling'er, and he couldn't let his woman down.
Second, his Dao heart wouldn't allow him to retreat.
Third, he wanted to see an old acquaintance...
Just as Lin Hao was lost in thought.
Feng Cangyue spoke, "Lin Hao, just remember, when you encounter danger, you can strike with deadly force, regardless of who the enemy is.
You don't need to be bound by any rules. Do what you want to do, and I'll cover for you!"
His Master's care and concern made Lin Hao feel even more guilty. He really shouldn't have had those wild thoughts earlier.
"Go down the mountain and do what you want to do."
"Hmm?"
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Seeing her foolish disciple standing there motionless, Feng Cangyue couldn't help but ask three times in a row.
"Master, I'm just not used to it."
"Not used to what?"
"Ever since I became your disciple, I've always been slapped down the mountain."
"…"
This brat, what's in his head? He doesn't seem very bright.
With a flick of her sleeve, Feng Cangyue sent Lin Hao tumbling off the cliff.
"Get lost."
