Chapter 438 - 154: Join the Great Love of Three
"It's alright, take your time."The young man said, "As Uncle Master mentioned, the Demon Emperor and his accomplice won't dare come up for the time being, so we have some time."
As he spoke, he had already brewed a pot of steaming spiritual tea: "Uncle Master, here you go."
"What is this?"
Mu Xinlan furrowed her delicate brows, looking wary.
"It's top-grade spiritual tea, fire attribute, Three Yang Jade Warm Tea, with the magical effect of calming the mind and warming the body. The Love Flower Gu Worm is a yin-type potent poison. Uncle Master, drinking this tea might help your body recover faster."
Seeing that she was still hesitant, the young man added, "This tea is also the favorite of Master. Uncle Master and Master are two souls in one body, so you should be able to appreciate it as well."
"Really or not..."
After some hesitation, Mu Xinlan finally took the tea bowl and tentatively sipped it.
That flawless, stunning face showed a look of sheer enjoyment.
For the first time, she seriously observed the young man in front of her and after a while, remarked, "Hmm, indeed not bad. You kid really know how to serve others; no wonder that woman is so fond of you."
"By the way, is this tea-making skill also taught by that woman?"
"Not by Xinyin Master. It was my first master who taught me."
The young man shook his head and said leisurely, "My enlightenment master was an evil cultivator skilled in alchemy and Gu preparation. He taught me many things, including this tea-making skill."
"And whenever I was taught something by him, I had to practice it to perfection. Otherwise... the master would punish me in all sorts of unexpected ways."
"I see."
Mu Xinlan took a few more sips of tea, savoring it, and asked, "So, is this the reason you left the sect?"
"I didn't leave the sect."
The young man shook his head: "My sect was destroyed."
"Hmm? Such a thing? A sect just gets wiped out, is there truly no order in this Eastern Earth Demon Path?"
Mu Xinlan frowned, a cold and solemn glance passing through her eyes, "Hmm, it seems it's indeed my duty to clean up this scum in accordance with the natural order."
"No, it was destroyed by me."
The young man said very calmly.
"You... destroyed your own sect?"
Mu Xinlan's body trembled, and the tea bowl in her hand shook wildly, spilling tea water.
After a while, she seemed to struggle to calm down and looked at the rare and unique Demon Seed beside her: "Why?"
"To save my life."
The young man said candidly, "The master wanted to drain the demon blood within me, but I have many things I wish to do and couldn't meet his demands, so I had to strike first."
"Hiss."
Watching the young man speak so nonchalantly about his past crime of teacher-killing, Mu Xinlan took a deep breath, unable to hide her shock.
Taking a sip of warm tea to calm her mind, she curiously asked again, "So, what about the matter involving your junior sister Qing Mei? Tell me about it."
"Hmm?"
The young man was slightly taken aback and said, "Uncle Master, how do you know about my junior sister?"
"Didn't I tell you before?"
Mu Xinlan slightly raised an eyebrow, "Before Mu Xinyin woke me up, we talked for a long time. She told me everything about you and even..."
At this point, her cheeks blushed slightly, and she lowered her head: "Entrusted you to me."
"Hmm."
The young man nodded, gazing into the void with a look of melancholy.
"So, you don't intend to tell me?"
Mu Xinlan asked.
"Uncle Master, you're being very strange now."
The young man glanced back at the woman, looking puzzled.
"Strange?"
Mu Xinlan was momentarily stunned, then perhaps thinking she was being unruly, quickly adjusted her hair and attire, and said, "What's strange about me now! You kid, speak clearly if you may!"
The young man shook his head and said, "Two hours ago, Master had just awakened you. Even though you promised to protect me for Master, your gaze was full of hostility as if wishing to swallow me whole."
"And now."
"Uncle Master, don't you think it's strange? You're chatting leisurely over tea with a future demon head you are destined to eradicate."
"I..."
Mu Xinlan was speechless for a moment, biting her lip and turning her face away: "You are overthinking it. I'm not interested in your affairs. Just now... I was merely engaging in polite chat as I drank your tea!"
"Yes."
The young man respectfully cupped his hands: "Then next, please take good care, Uncle Master, and break through this Seven Absolute Slaughter Immortal Formation soon."
With that, he was about to walk out.
But was stopped by a cold female voice:
"Wait a moment! The Demon Emperor is guarding the foot of the mountain right now, where do you think you're going?"
"Uncle Master, don't misunderstand. I won't leave the cave dwelling."
The young man looked back at the stunning woman reclining on the Cold Jade Bed, with bare beautiful feet: "Uncle Master, haven't you realized you're missing something?"
"Ah?"
Mu Xinlan was momentarily puzzled, about to question.
But she saw a pure white silk stocking suddenly appear in the young man's palm.
"You perverted kid! Why did you steal my stocking, what do you intend to do with it!?"
Mu Xinlan widened her beautiful eyes, coldly questioning.
"You've got it wrong, Uncle Master."
The young man shook his head, "Ever since you woke up, you haven't worn socks. These belong to my master, not you."
"Then... so what? What do you intend to do with it now?"
"This cave dwelling is humid, and Master is extremely fastidious, so every night, after I've washed Master's socks, I hang them at the cave entrance to dry. In this way, by the next noon, Master will have fresh socks to wear."
