Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 139 - 138: Qing Yueqiu Finds the Provocatively Dressed Yu Gu Nan an Eyesore

TIP-TAP—

The footsteps, so light they were almost inaudible, drew closer, like a cat's paws padding across the floor.

Pei Yuhang knew someone had taken off their shoes and was approaching him barefoot. He sighed helplessly. "Xiaoxiao, even though the Spiritual Ship is spotless, you should still put your shoes on..."

"Put on my shoes? But how could Master taste this delicacy if I did?~"

A teasing voice rang out. In a daze, Pei Yuhang finally realized who was behind him. Just as he was about to turn, a pair of slender, snow-white arms, like lotus roots, wrapped around him.

"Gu Nan?"

"Of course it's me. But if Master wants Xiaoxiao to serve you like this too, that can be arranged.

Even though we sisters share the same body, our styles are different. It'll definitely be a double experience for Master~"

Speechless, Pei Yuhang lightly tapped his disciple's head.

"What are you thinking about all day? A double experience... As if I'd want something like that."

"Master doesn't like it?"

As Yu Gu Nan spoke, she stood on her tiptoes and puckered her pink lips, as if asking for a kiss.

"I still need to pilot the Flying Ship..."

"I'm being so forward, how can Master be so dense~? Just put the Flying Ship on autopilot."

Yu Gu Nan rolled her pretty eyes at him. Then, with her slender legs clad in white silk socks, she began to teasingly rub against Pei Yuhang's ankle.

It was like the tickle of a mischievous kitten's tail. The numbing, electric sensation made Pei Yuhang's spine tighten.

He was about to say something else, but the soft pad of a delicate, pale finger pressed against his lips, silencing him.

"Master isn't going to say he just fought a hard battle with the Dragon Corpse and is too tired to rest, is he? I know how potent Master's Dual Cultivation Method is. The more you 'fight,' the more vigorous you become. I'm sure a little fun with me will leave you brimming with energy in no time.

When it comes down to it, the reason Master is resisting me... it's not because of Senior Sister, is it?"

Yu Gu Nan's beautiful eyes narrowed, her gaze turning aggressive as she stared into Pei Yuhang's eyes.

"You think it's wrong... for the Master to be next door with me while Senior Sister is lying unconscious in her bed?"

"Or... has Master grown tired of Gu Nan? Are you planning to cast me aside and ignore me...?"

As Yu Gu Nan spoke, she let out a sob. Her eyes quickly reddened, creating a heart-wrenchingly pitiable sight.

"Of course not!"

Hearing the answer she wanted, Yu Gu Nan's lips curled into a smirk behind the hand she was using to wipe her tears.

"Then Master should hurry up and prove it. Since you've already had me, you have to take responsibility to the very end~!"

With that, the girl, whose delicate figure was as petite as a lamb's, pounced on him like a wolf, without a shred of ladylike restraint.

Pei Yuhang looked at his robes being eagerly pulled open and the rouge and lipstick marks on his neck and face, and sighed. "If that's how it's going to be, then Gu Nan, don't you come crying and begging me for mercy later."

With that, Pei Yuhang easily scooped his lovely disciple up in a princess carry. Amidst the girl's cry of surprise, he carried her into the bedroom on the Flying Ship.

...

...

Delicate, silver eyelashes trembled. As the eyelids fluttered open, beautiful crimson pupils once again took in the light.

"Ngh..."

Qing Yueqiu had been asleep for so long that she felt slightly dizzy upon opening her eyes. Her mouth was dry, and she desperately wanted a drink of water.

She raised her hand, gathering the water molecules from the air, and a handful of clear water immediately appeared in her palm.

After taking a simple drink to soothe her throat, Qing Yueqiu looked around the empty room and frowned.

'Strange, where did Junior Sister go?'

She stood up and walked outside, but she still couldn't see her junior sister on the deck of the Flying Ship. She couldn't even find a trace of her master.

'So...'

'Is Master giving Junior Sister special training again?'

Qing Yueqiu looked at the closed door of her master's bedroom, and an answer formed in her mind.

'I want Master's special training too.'

Qing Yueqiu's eyes were filled with envy. She wished she could open that door and join her master's special training session with her junior sister.

HUMMM—

A clear, crisp sword hum rang out.

The girl withdrew her gaze and looked at the Glazed Sword resting by her bed.

An ethereal butterfly, formed from Sword Qi and flickering between substance and illusion, was perched on the scabbard, its wings vibrating gently.

"This is..."

Qing Yueqiu had a deep impression of the butterfly. After all, when she claimed her sword at the Divine Sword Pavilion, it was a butterfly's guidance that had led her to Luminous.

Furthermore, the previous owner of the Luminous Shadow Sword was known as the "Dieyin Fairy," a title also related to butterflies.

'Could it be that the Sword Spirit of the Luminous Shadow Sword absorbed the Thunder Power from my Celestial Tribulation and has reawakened?'

She was about to go tell her master the news, but after seeing his tightly shut door, she ultimately decided not to knock.

'Master is "tutoring" Junior Sister in her cultivation right now. I can't disturb them...'

Qing Yueqiu decided to investigate it herself first.

She picked up the Luminous Shadow Sword. Startled, the Sword Qi butterfly flew into the blade and vanished without a trace.

"Unity!"

HUMMM—

The Sword Qi vibrated, but Qing Yueqiu couldn't connect her mind with the presence inside the sword.

"Unity!"

"Unity!"

Qing Yueqiu tried many times, but she couldn't sense any presence within the sword. When she swung the Luminous Shadow Sword, she didn't feel the sluggish resistance of a Sword Spirit's obstruction, either. It felt just like usual.

'Perhaps... the Sword Spirit of the Luminous Shadow Sword has reawakened, but not completely.'

'It will likely need a massive infusion of Thunder Power, similar to a Celestial Tribulation, for the Sword Spirit to awaken fully.'

Just as Qing Yueqiu was lost in thought, the door to the next room finally creaked open.

"Ah, Senior Sister... you woke up so quickly."

Qing Yueqiu followed the voice and saw Yu Gu Nan at the door, her clothes in disarray, one fragrant shoulder exposed. In her hands, she held a pair of white silk socks, wet with some unknown liquid.

Seeing Yu Gu Nan emerge from their master's bedroom in such a state, Qing Yueqiu felt an inexplicable surge of irritation.

Her voice was cold as she said:

"Junior Sister, you should pay more attention to your appearance on the Flying Ship."

The preachy words annoyed Yu Gu Nan, casting a dark cloud over the wonderful mood she was in after her fun with their master.

'Pei Yuhang will protect me anyway!' Never one to take a loss, Yu Gu Nan naturally had to retort without mercy.

"Heh, what exactly does Senior Sister mean by 'pay attention to my appearance'? Should I wrap myself up like a dumpling? Or perhaps I should study the court etiquette of the Human Dynasties?"

"Oh~ Senior Sister must have had a hard time back in the mortal world. It couldn't have been easy to even get a full meal, so you probably didn't have much chance to worry about so-called etiquette. Why are you setting so many rules now that you're a cultivator?"

"At the very least, you should be properly dressed, lest you look as tawdry as a courtesan."

Seeing Yu Gu Nan's rosy complexion and refreshed, invigorated appearance, the agitation in Qing Yueqiu's heart grew stronger.

Yu Gu Nan keenly sensed this. A teasing smile appeared on her face as she pointed to her own wrinkled dress.

"Well~ Senior Sister should know that Master was giving me special training. When he was guiding me up close, his movements got a little rough. Oh, he has no pity for a delicate flower like me at all. Master is the one who made my clothes such a mess~!

It might look a little lewd... but Master definitely doesn't hate it, right?

It's much better than those prim and proper Fairies in the Sect who want to seduce Master but keep up their act, and in the end, don't even get a single glance from him, isn't it?"
