Chapter 45 Playing with fire leads to self-destruction; the master and Xue Baining are set ablaze.
Jade Maiden Peak, Warm Pavilion.
The candlelight flickered, casting a dim, yellowish glow in the room.
Ji Yudie saw the undercurrents between her master and Headmaster Pei, and now there was also the eccentric Aunt Wu.
To avoid being innocently implicated, and ignoring Li Muyu's pleading eyes, she quietly slipped away to Nainai Peak to find Gu Qingxue.
Yun Li leaned lazily against the soft couch, resting her chin on her hand, and looked at the two of them with great interest.
"Who is this?"
"My wet nurse just arrived from the capital today."
"oh--"
Yun Li deliberately dragged out her words, her gaze lingering on Xue Bai Ning, especially her voluptuous curves, which were hard to conceal even in simple clothes, and were quite eye-catching.
"Indeed, it has a profound foundation, but..."
She abruptly changed the subject, turning to look at Pei Yourong beside her. Pei Yourong's austere white dress accentuated her stunning curves, and she unconsciously licked her red lips, her voice laced with teasing.
"Compared to our little Rong'er, who is so naturally beautiful and stands out from the crowd, she still lacks a little bit of charm."
"Speaking of which, Rong'er, I see you've become even more voluptuous lately, haven't you? It's dazzling even through your clothes."
Pei Yourong blushed at her explicit words, instinctively bringing her long, slender legs together. She glanced furtively at Li Muyu beside her, feeling a mixture of shame and anger.
I've been holding Mu'er a lot lately, and she does seem to have grown a bit. Her clothes that used to fit her are now a bit tight, and she always feels heavy when she moves around.
Unexpectedly, this vixen saw through her at a glance and even said it in public, leaving her utterly humiliated!
Upon hearing this, Xue Baining glanced sideways and snorted coldly, her disdain almost overflowing.
"Hmph, with such a cumbersome body, what's the point of cultivating immortality or seeking the Dao?"
"Why not find an ordinary family to marry into as soon as possible, go home and nurse the children? That would be making the best use of her."
Upon hearing this, Yun Li's alluring peach blossom eyes brightened even more, and a sickly blush even appeared on her face.
The image of Pei Yourong as a married woman, shedding her aloof sword immortal identity and donning simple clothes to be a devoted wife and mother, came to mind.
Especially her mature figure, which has been fully developed and imbued with the charm of the world, just thinking about the contrast makes my heart race!
Pei Yourong was angered. She could clearly feel the undisguised hostility and targeting in Xue Baining's words.
Her beautiful eyes were frosty as she coldly retorted.
"Those who cultivate themselves have physical forms and postures influenced by their constitution, which cannot be changed. But if their heart is pure in seeking the Way, why should they fear the opinions of others?"
"But you, as Mu'er's wet nurse, are experienced and knowledgeable. Aren't you also seeking the Dao and cultivating yourself? What right do you have to spout nonsense and judge others' paths?"
"you!"
Xue Baining already loathed the shameful identity of a wet nurse, and Pei Yourong's veiled sarcasm about her being experienced only fueled her anger, causing her face to instantly darken to a grim degree.
Seeing that the tension between the two was escalating and they were about to fight again, Li Muyu quickly interrupted.
"Master Yun, let's begin."
Yun Li's eyes still held a hint of lingering enjoyment as she lazily stretched, revealing her exquisite curves.
When it comes to figure, she's just as stunning!
Yun Li gracefully stood up and walked to Li Muyu, who had taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.
She stretched out her jade-white hand, tinged with light nail polish, the palm glowing with golden light, carrying a warm yet powerful aura, and slowly pressed it against the curse mark on his heart.
Sure enough, almost the instant Yun Li's hand touched Li Muyu.
Pei Yourong's attention was immediately drawn to that restless jade hand. A sense of vigilance appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her mature voice carried suppressed anger.
"If you're going to detoxify, then detoxify; don't touch things indiscriminately!"
Meanwhile, Xue Baining, who was standing to the side, was attracted by the aura of a true dragon emanating from Yun Li and couldn't help but frown.
Unexpectedly, the Southern Immortal Sect actually has a true dragon whose cultivation has reached the Celestial Realm!
There hadn't been a single word of it before; the Jade Maiden Peak leader had really kept it hidden. It seems the Southern Immortal Sect's foundation is far more complex than it appears!
Yun Li felt Pei Yourong's intense gaze, but instead of softening it, a provocative smile appeared on her face.
The thrill of teasing Li Muyu's wet nurse and master in front of them made her breath hotter and her actions bolder.
Her fingertips no longer lingered near the curse mark, but instead, with a subtle, teasing undertone, they slowly slid down along the muscle lines of Li Muyu's chest and abdomen.
Even Xue Baining, who didn't care much about matters between men and women, noticed Yun Li's undisguised provocation.
Although she was only using Li Muyu to suppress the karmic fire and had no other feelings for him, for some reason, a sense of unease welled up in her heart.
In the end, he was one of my people, how could I allow this female dragon to be so presumptuous and disrespectful?
She glanced coldly at Pei Yourong, her words laced with sarcasm.
"Hey, your apprentice's been touched all over, and you, as his master, are just going to stand by and watch?"
Pei Yourong was already burning with anger, her teeth clenched inwardly, but because Xue Baining, an outsider and Mu'er's wet nurse, was present, she couldn't lash out on the spot, so she silently endured it.
Provoked by Xue Baining, she felt both ashamed and angry, and retorted sharply.
"You're Mu'er's wet nurse. Seeing your junior being harassed like this, shouldn't you step in and stop it?"
In the midst of their bickering, Yun Li's hand had already gone too far, slowly sliding towards Li Muyu's waist and abdomen.
"You're useless, just stand there and watch!"
A cold glint flashed in Xue Baining's beautiful eyes. She could no longer hold back and mocked Pei Yourong before abruptly standing up.
She took a step forward and stood in front of Li Muyu, slapping away Yun Li's restless hand.
"It's just a mere Flood Dragon Poison Curse Seal, why go to such trouble!"
Under Yun Li's amused gaze, she stretched out her palm and hovered it about an inch above Li Muyu's chest.
A terrifying, domineering true energy, like a mountain collapsing, crashed down on the curse mark on Li Muyu's chest.
Yun Li guessed her idea: to use her powerful cultivation to force out all the hidden curse power in Li Muyu's body at once!
This method is simple and brutal, but it is also extremely risky. If one is not careful, it will trigger a backlash from the curse seal. Even Yun Li is not very confident.
As that domineering true energy was forcibly poured in, Li Muyu's body trembled violently, and the dark black curse mark on his chest twisted violently as if it were alive. The sinister and evil energy was forcibly forced out from the depths of his meridians and steamed on his body surface.
An indescribable pain instantly swept over Li Muyu's heart. Veins bulged on his forehead, his jaw clenched, and he let out a muffled groan of pain.
"What are you doing!"
Upon seeing this, Pei Yourong turned pale and, no longer caring about her demeanor, rushed over with a cry of alarm.
"Mu'er, are you alright?"
Seeing the pain on Li Muyu's face, she felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and reached out to touch his cheek.
"Master! Don't touch me!"
Li Muyu, suppressing the turmoil within him, roared and tried to stop it.
But it was too late.
Pei Yourong's cool and soft palm was already pressed against Li Muyu's burning cheek.
"Mmm~"
A short, seductive moan escaped uncontrollably from Pei Yourong's lips!
An indescribable, violent, and intense lustful fire, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly rushed into her body through her fingertips, directly assaulting her mind and spirit.
Dragons are inherently lewd, and the curse seal planted by this dragon before its death was fully activated by Xue Baining's domineering true energy. At this moment, Li Muyu's body is filled with this extremely lewd and evil aura.
Pei Yourong, being of the Xuan Yin constitution, was utterly powerless against this wicked and lewd aura, like a spark falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting it.
Pei Yourong's legs went weak, and all her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant. She collapsed straight down and fell into Li Muyu's arms.
Her mature and beautiful cheeks were flushed as if she were drunk, her almond-shaped eyes were hazy and watery, her red lips were slightly parted, her breath was fragrant, and her delicate body trembled slightly uncontrollably as she was consumed by the sudden lust.
Xue Baining has also finished her training, and her situation is equally dire.
She had been overwhelmed by the moment and used a lot of her true energy to force out the curse seal, which accidentally stirred up the karmic fire in her body that had not yet been completely quelled.
A restless, agitated heat stirred within me, gradually spreading through my mind.
"Oh dear, what happened?"
Yun Li blinked, looking at Pei Yourong, who was slumped in Li Muyu's arms, and Xue Baining, who was breathing heavily and had a flushed face beside her.
Is this some kind of role-playing game?
Li Muyu had a terrible headache, as the curse seal of the Jiao Clan within his body was fiercely clashing with Xue Baining's true energy.
He was holding his master, who was delirious with passion and kept rubbing against him, while in front of him stood a demonic sect leader whose karmic fire had been reignited and whose eyes were filled with hostility...
Li Muyu didn't bother to put on his clothes. He put one arm around his master, who was in a daze, and supported Xue Baining, who was breathing unsteadily, with the other hand.
"Master Yun, that's enough for today! I'll take them back first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure transformed into a streak of light, sweeping up the two of them and rushing out of the warm pavilion, heading towards the direction of Nana Peak.
Nanai Peak Courtyard.
The bright moonlight illuminated two equally beautiful faces, yet with vastly different auras.
Gu Qingxue rested her chin on her hand, a hint of confusion in her cool brows, and whispered to Ji Yudie sitting opposite her.
"Yu Die, I feel like Master has been acting strange lately."
Ji Yudie was still thinking about Jade Maiden Peak. Those women were not easy to deal with. She wondered if Li Muyu could handle them.
"What's strange about it?"
I can't quite explain it.
Gu Qingxue frowned and pondered for a moment.
"I just feel like there's something she's hiding from me about her and her junior brother."
"Sometimes the way they look at each other and the tone of their voice seems a bit off."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yudie couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.
Something's not right? My master is the weirdest one, always thinking about how to attract Chief Pei's attention.
Ji Yudie was truly afraid that she might accidentally get herself involved, and then the two of them, master and disciple, would...
Gu Qingxue suddenly leaned closer, her clear eyes looking directly at Ji Yudie, and asked in a low voice.
"Rain Butterfly, tell me the truth."
"How far have things progressed between you and my junior brother?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yudie's jade-like cheeks suddenly flushed red, and her eyes darted away.
"Xue, Xue'er, what are you saying...?"
"Don't try to hide it from me!"
Gu Qingxue snorted, a hint of smugness on her small face.
"What were you doing under the table in the Hall of Justice that day? Did you think I didn't know?"
"You even lied to me about stealing small fish. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Ji Yudie's face turned even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed.
In front of Gu Qingxue, she always felt a strange sense of indebtedness, as if she had stolen something that should have belonged to Xue'er, so she never dared to bring it up.
Being exposed to her face now, she was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"I, we..."
Seeing her like this, Gu Qingxue softened her tone, leaned closer, and whispered in Ji Yudie's ear.
"What exactly does that kind of feeling like?"
Ji Yudie was flustered by her question, but looking into Gu Qingxue's pure eyes, she felt that hiding it from her was a sin.
She bit her lip, her voice barely audible, describing the scene in a broken, halting manner.
"It's just weird, I feel a little breathless..."
"But...but it's not that uncomfortable, it's just very strange..."
Gu Qingxue originally wanted to secretly learn some techniques so that she wouldn't appear so clumsy when getting close to her junior brother next time.
But after hearing Ji Yudie's vague yet straightforward description and imagining the scene, her face flushed slightly, and a sense of retreat inexplicably arose in her heart.
"Junior brother... he likes this kind of thing?"
Ji Yudie recalled Li Muyu's reaction at the time; he would always gently stroke her hair and whisper encouragement in her ear.
She blushed and nodded almost imperceptibly.
"I guess you could say I like it."
Upon hearing this, a complex and unfathomable emotion flashed in Gu Qingxue's clear and cold eyes, hinting at a hint of eagerness.
Just then.
"call out--
A sharp whooshing sound came from afar, growing louder as it approached!
Both of them were startled and stood up to look.
Under the moonlight, a familiar figure was seen flying towards the pavilion at an extremely fast speed.
Li Muyu held one person in each of his arms: his master, Pei Yourong, and his wet nurse.
All three of them looked extremely unwell.
Li Muyu was shirtless and looked anxious.
Pei Yourong leaned softly against his arm, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glazed, and she was mumbling incoherently.
He was half-supporting and half-carrying Aunt Wu, whose face was flushed and whose breathing was disordered.
She seemed to be glaring at and arguing with Pei Yourong in her arms, but her voice was weak and feeble.
"If you hadn't acted recklessly, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."
"Shut up! How could I have known that!"
Seeing this, Gu Qingxue got up and went to greet her, asking with concern.
"Junior brother! What's going on?"
Li Muyu didn't stop, carrying the two of them into the attic, hurriedly leaving behind a sentence.
"Senior sister! There's no time to explain now, I'll tell you the details later!"
bang——
The door was slammed shut.
Immediately afterwards, a formation suddenly lit up, completely isolating the room from any movement or aura.
Ji Yudie arrived shortly after and saw Gu Qingxue standing alone outside the door.
"Didn't they go to my master's place? What happened?"
Gu Qingxue shook her head, clearly not understanding the situation yet.
