Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 252 250: How Could Other Women Get to Touch Junior Brother Pei's Treasure?

Pei Yuhang arrived at the Dan Yun Pavilion on his sword. Before he could even enter, he heard a familiar voice from behind him.

He turned to see Chen Sixuan, his Senior Sister's Alchemy Boy, standing at the bottom of the steps. She was accompanied by two even younger-looking children, a boy and a girl, who must have been his Senior Sister's new disciples.

Sunlight streamed past the flying eaves of the Dan Yun Pavilion, casting dappled shadows across her delicate features. Chen Sixuan smiled, raised an eyebrow, and said,

"Junior Martial Uncle Pei, you're here to see Master again."

"Xiaoxuan?" Pei Yuhang was slightly taken aback, and his gaze fell on the young junior sister and junior brother beside her.

"What are you all doing down here? Did Senior Sister send you out to gather medicinal herbs?"

When Pei Yuhang saw Chen Sixuan nod, an inexplicable sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

'Maybe I'm just being narcissistic, but I can't shake the feeling that Senior Sister sent all her attendants away just so we could be alone…'

After seeing Pei Yuhang, Chen Sixuan also looked like she wanted to say something but held back, as if she had something to tell him but was too embarrassed.

Finally, her large eyes darted around a couple of times before she leaned closer to Pei Yuhang and said in a hushed voice, "Junior Martial Uncle Pei, you've been visiting my Master a bit too frequently lately."

She blinked and continued in a whisper, "I know you're a true gentleman, Junior Martial Uncle, and completely devoted to Fairy Ye. You would never do anything improper, so you must be visiting Master for official business.

Unlike those hypocrites who pretend to seek Master's help with Alchemy when they're really just trying to pursue her..."

"..."

Hearing Chen Sixuan's words, Pei Yuhang couldn't help but feel a pang of shame.

Looking back, it seemed that every time he met with his Senior Sister, something ambiguously intimate would inexplicably happen, like how she had pulled him in to assist her cultivation today.

'She called it cultivation, but in reality, we were sitting naked together in an Alchemy Furnace. It was no different from taking a romantic bath with a Dao Companion. If Chen Sixuan knew about this, I wonder if she'd still think I was here on 'official business'.'

Chen Sixuan had no idea that the prim and proper Junior Martial Uncle Pei standing before her was lost in thought about his steamy encounters with her master. Her expression was tense as she began to reveal a grand conspiracy.

"But Master has countless suitors, and many of them are probably jealous that you can see her so freely, Junior Martial Uncle Pei... Lately, someone's been stirring up trouble and spreading malicious rumors. A lot of Alchemists are gossiping about you behind your back.

Shouldn't you be a little more careful, Junior Martial Uncle?"

Hearing this, Pei Yuhang finally understood why the girl had been so hesitant to speak.

'So she's warning me to stop visiting Senior Sister for a while...'

Pei Yuhang knew that Chen Sixuan deeply admired Lu Ruoxi, viewing her as a Fairy idol. She wouldn't dare say these things to her Senior Sister directly, so she had come to warn him instead.

But—the problem was, Pei Yuhang wanted to avoid any suspicion with Senior Sister Lu as well.

Unfortunately, Senior Sister Lu wouldn't let him...

The White-clothed Sword Immortal ruffled Chen Sixuan's hair and said with a helpless sigh, "Your master is practicing a Secret Technique recently, and I have to come over every day to help her.

As for your concerns, Xiaoxuan, I'll bring them up with your Senior Sister... Of course, I won't tell her it was you who told me."

Chen Sixuan looked puzzled. "What kind of Secret Technique requires you to come every day, Junior Martial Uncle..."

'When a man and a woman 'assist' each other in cultivation, isn't that just dual cultivation?'

Chen Sixuan kept that last thought to herself.

After all, Chen Sixuan knew that Junior Martial Uncle Pei and her master were junior brother and senior sister of the same sect. Furthermore, his Dao Companion, Fairy Ye, was also their junior martial sister. To suggest her master was dual-cultivating with her junior uncle, even as a joke, would be a scandalous breach of propriety!

Naturally, Pei Yuhang didn't describe the steamy cultivation process to Chen Sixuan. He just brushed her off, saying, "These are your master's secrets. What's a little girl like you prying for?" With that, he urged her to hurry off and gather her herbs.

As Chen Sixuan watched Junior Martial Uncle Pei's retreating back disappear into the Dan Yun Pavilion, her bright eyes narrowed.

'Hmm, something about Junior Martial Uncle seems suspicious.'

For some reason, she was reminded of a newly released chapter in that salacious little book, *Sword Immortal's Cultivation*. In it, Peng Sword Immortal's senior sister was afflicted with an Emotional Poison, and he had to come over every day to treat her in secret, hiding it from her disciples...

'Wait! What am I thinking? How could a plot from Imperial Uncle's book happen in real life!'

Chen Sixuan sighed and shook her head, telling herself not to let her imagination run wild.

She turned to her little junior sister, whose face was a picture of infatuation. "Hey! Junior Martial Uncle Pei is long gone. How much longer are you going to stare!"

"Oh, oh, sorry, Senior Sister... I just didn't expect the Junior Martial Uncle to be so handsome," the little junior sister said shyly, her pretty face as red as a peach blossom.

"Hmph. You just arrived at the Xuanyuan Dao Sect. There's still a lot you don't know."

"Then do you know the Junior Martial Uncle well, Senior Sister?"

"Of course I do! The Junior Martial Uncle and I are super close! Wait a minute... Why are you asking about him, you little flirt? He already has a Dao Companion!"

"Who says you can only have one Dao Companion..." the little junior sister murmured, her eyes glistening.

Chen Sixuan never expected this seemingly innocent junior sister to have such outrageous ideas.

She'd barely set foot in the Sect, and she was already targeting the entire Dao Sect's "Flower on the Cliff," Junior Martial Uncle Pei.

"You brat! I'm telling Master! You want to humiliate Fairy Ye like that!"

"Don't, Senior Sister! I was just kidding~"

...

...

"Junior Brother, you're finally here. Senior Sister has been waiting for quite a while."

The Cyan-robed Fairy put away the book in her hands and rose to her feet, her graceful and enchanting figure on full display as she looked at the approaching Pei Yuhang.

"Senior Sister."

Pei Yuhang bowed in greeting to Lu Ruoxi, then lowered his head, not daring to look at her for too long.

'Is it my imagination, or does Senior Sister's face have the blush of a peach blossom today? She has a certain indescribable, mature charm.'

As if guessing Pei Yuhang's thoughts, Lu Ruoxi gave a faint smile. "You think Senior Sister has gotten prettier too? That little girl Chen Sixuan has been saying for the past two days that I must be secretly using beauty-enhancing Treasure Pills~"

"Senior Sister has always been beautiful. You're naturally gorgeous without needing any Treasure Pills."

"Hee hee~ You're so sweet with your words, Junior Brother, but you're wrong. Even a Fairy has her prime.

To remain youthful for decades or even centuries, to keep one's skin as radiant and supple as a young maiden's, is no simple feat. It requires nourishment from all sorts of treasures."

"And recently, Senior Sister has discovered a super treasure. This treasure can make a woman eternally beautiful, even more charming. If it were ever released, it might just drive all the Female Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm wild~"

Lu Ruoxi came to stand before Pei Yuhang with a gentle smile, her elegant fragrance making his nose tingle.

"What treasure is that, Senior Sister?"

"Why, it's you, of course, Junior Brother..."

The tips of Pei Yuhang's ears instantly turned scarlet. He hastily averted his face, avoiding Lu Ruoxi's smiling eyes as his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly in the morning light.

"Senior Sister, you mustn't make such jokes in the future!"

"Hahaha~"

Lu Ruoxi suddenly stood on her tiptoes, leaning close to his burning earlobe. She deliberately drew out her words, her almond eyes curving into mischievous crescents. "Of course, of course~ After all, this Senior Sister treasures that 'treasure' far too much—"

As she spoke, the Cyan-robed Fairy spun around lightly, the pearl-adorned ribbon hanging from her temple brushing against Pei Yuhang's tense jaw.

"How could I possibly let word get out, and give other women the chance to touch it?"

Pei Yuhang could feel Lu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes fixed upon him, but he didn't dare raise his head to meet her gaze.
