Jiang Xuan had initially planned to keep playing dead, but when he heard Mo Han’s words, he was jolted awake.
Just as he thought his weakness would be exploited, he opened his eyes only to find Mo Han grinning and pinching his face.
“Hmm? Master, are you startled by my presence?”
“Hehe, of course! If you don’t wake up soon, I’ll have no choice but to ask the little disciple myself.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
Jiang Xuan, still dazed, tried to grasp what Mo Han was talking about. But he feigned weakness and responded dramatically:
“About that fight earlier… I lost… Are you satisfied with this result? I went on a trip to the gates of hell and now I’m too exhausted to fight again. Let’s end our battle here… If you still feel my punishment isn’t enough and want to k*ll me, then feel free.”
“Hmm? It’s my first time hearing Master admit defeat.”
“You’ve become this high and mighty celestial being, but after your fall, you’ve turned into a cunning, fearful, and utterly ordinary mortal weakling.”
“It looks like there’s still a side to you that isn’t all about the Unfeeling Dao.”
“Master, do you know? I used to aim for you as my motivation to train, dreaming one day to defeat you and surpass you, becoming the strongest in the human realm.”
“But later, I became despondent. Even though I could defeat the Martial Emperor with my Martial Saint level strength, my incredible talents didn’t earn your praise.”
“I was hit with an utterly devastating piece of news that shattered me. To you, as my master, it seemed my combat prowess was just mediocre.”
“You casually mentioned how after breaking into Martial Emperor, you effortlessly slain a few Martial Emperors…”
“That’s when I realized the colossal gap between us—a gap so vast it could never be bridged. Those recognized geniuses haven’t even reached my master’s threshold.”
“The difference between you and me is like that between an average joe and a celestial being!”
“Eventually, I figured out in front of a prodigy like you, I’m merely a lucky ordinary person who became your disciple.”
“Aiya, I never thought there would come a day when my master would be this weak—weak enough to voluntarily admit defeat to me.”
“Back then, you wouldn’t even give me a single compliment.”
“Hehe, after defeating you, I feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.”
“Master, do you know? With a strength as weak as yours now, if you ran into a bad woman, you’d be bullied at will.”
“Luckily, you met me. Don’t worry, I’m your diligent little disciple.”
“Oh, and just to ensure you don’t stray onto that Unfeeling Dao again, I, as your good disciple, know it’s time for me to help you out. I have decided—I will take you to experience the world’s love and desires.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
At this point, Jiang Xuan felt that Mo Han’s idea of experiencing love and desire seemed somewhat off.
He was already a mortal with those emotions and didn’t need to ‘experience’ them.
Moreover, at his current level of understanding, he didn’t even know what the Unfeeling Dao was, so there was really no need for such an experience.
He thought that by playing dead, his once-disciple would show him some mercy. After all, during his faux d*ath, she had been all about the remorse.
But now, she was pulling moves that left him utterly baffled.
Regaining his composure, Jiang Xuan weakly spoke up, “You really don’t need to force me to experience love and desire. I should have the right to refuse, right?”
“Sure! If you refuse, then let’s spar a few more rounds! Just don’t go down in one hit like last time.”
“By the way, if you dare to pretend to be dead again to scare me, I’ll just hand you over to those cultivators in the secret realm looking for legacies.”
“With your current looks, I doubt any of them could resist, and you’d soon become their plaything since you’re too weak to resist!”
“The consequences of refusing will be pretty bleak—are you sure you want to turn down your disciple’s good intentions?”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
“Alright, alright, I’ll accept your proposal! You really are a good disciple!”
No sooner had Jiang Xuan finished speaking than Mo Han picked him up in a bear hug.
“Master, you’re too kind! Since you’ve no objections, I’ll take you to a great place.”
With that, Mo Han sprouted a pair of spiritual power wings from her back and zoomed off with Jiang Xuan.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan, feeling increasingly frustrated, found his thoughts drifting into the system space.
Since the system wasn’t reliable, he decided to rummage through his old loot boxes for something that could help him escape this predicament.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan seemed to recall something and began searching frantically.
After a short while, he confusedly asked his system, “System, I remember there was an invisibility talisman in one of my previous big gift packs, and I haven’t used it yet.”
“Where did that invisibility talisman go? It couldn’t have been hidden by you, right?”
“Ding! To the host, scanning confirms that the invisibility talisman is right in front of you.”
“Huh? Are you sure that’s not just some blind claim?”
“Ding! To the host, that invisibility talisman is currently in an invisible state, so it’s perfectly normal for you not to see it.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
“Wait, I haven’t even used it yet. Why is it invisible?”
“Ding! To the host, since that invisibility talisman hasn’t been used in a long time, it developed a defect and has now automatically entered invisibility mode.”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
“Uh, if I find it and use it, can it still turn invisible?”
“It can’t, its invisibility function has already been used and cannot be activated a second time.”
After hearing the system’s feedback, Jiang Xuan felt utterly defeated.
Sure enough, every time it was crucial, the system’s items had some sort of problem.
After a while, he even began to suspect that the system was just messing with him.
After all, with a system this untrustworthy, it was hard to believe he’d find another one like it.
When Jiang Xuan’s thoughts finally wandered back from the system space, he found himself taken to a peach blossom-drenched paradise by Mo Han.
At that moment, Mo Han appeared to have conjured up a wooden basin and handed it to Jiang Xuan, which contained some clear water.
“Master, since you lost the battle to me, it’s time for you to accept your punishment. You need to wash your disciple’s feet now, no problem, right?”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
