Chapter 335: Is Zuo Qiu Actually a Submissive M?
“Master.” Zuo Qiu immediately arrived after receiving the message from Bai Feng, standing beside her and lowering her head politely. “Is there something you need me to handle?”
“You know there’s been a bit of trouble on the Demon Path side recently, right?” Bai Feng didn’t stop his brushwork, continuing to draw strange symbols and diagrams on a talisman paper.
Zuo Qiu nodded eagerly. “Yes, lately, a bunch of Demon Path folks inexplicably appeared in the city where the orthodox sect is based, causing quite a fuss.”
“I asked Tian Yan recently,” Bai Feng said, pausing to admire the talisman on his desk, “the chaos in the Northern Region’s Demon Path is probably because the Divine Monarch got involved.”
He turned his gaze back to Zuo Qiu with a slight smirk. “And that means an opportunity—our sect isn’t going to miss out on smashing the Demon Path. But I’ve been busy researching a new Portable Array Disk, so I can’t join in the action for now. I need you to gather more intel.”
“Absolutely!”
Zuo Qiu nodded quickly, not forgetting her promise to Bai Feng. She’d been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
“If you find any vital info or hideouts, tell me immediately. Don’t take unnecessary risks,” Bai Feng warned, worried Zuo Qiu might recklessly charge in just to prove her loyalty. He added a few more words to prevent the system from penalizing him if she got hurt.
“Got it!”
Seeing her earnest expression, Bai Feng nodded slightly—she seemed to have absorbed his words.
“By the way,” he continued, “your Yuan Ying is probably already completed, right? If you’re running low on pills, just tell me. I can advance you some rewards. Your task is dangerous, after all.” He resumed drawing on a new talisman.
Zuo Qiu hesitated a moment before asking cautiously, “Master, can I exchange my reward for a special cultivation method?”
“What kind of special method?” Bai Feng paused, eyebrows raised in curiosity.
“Well, it’s your own cultivation method, Master. Everyone in the sect is talking about it. You can surpass Lin Yan and other geniuses—beyond luck, it involves array formations, pills, and complicated methods like absorbing Five Elements Qi or something.”
Bai Feng: “……”
What the heck is she talking about?
He could understand, though—his talent was honestly pretty mediocre. Even with system rewards, his talent was only slightly above average. Compared to someone like Lin Yan, the Child of Destiny, he still had a long way to go. No wonder others think like that.
Zuo Qiu noticed Bai Feng hadn’t responded and suddenly felt uneasy. Her heart raced with reckless ambition—she’d waited a long time for this chance. Maybe she’d overstepped by asking about the secret cultivation method, but what if her master looked down on her? No, that wasn’t right—she was his most loyal subordinate, and everything belonged to him already. She shouldn’t doubt herself.
She hurriedly tried to mend her words: “Sorry, Master, I…”
Before she could finish, Bai Feng held up his hand, stopping her. “Don’t listen to outside nonsense. I don’t have any special cultivation tricks—well, actually, I do have one. I once found a book on dual cultivation, so I can’t give you that reward. How about we swap?”
Zuo Qiu blinked. Dual cultivation? Was that what she thought it was? Well, that was a bit… not necessarily appropriate, but she was his most loyal dog, and everything she was belonged to him. No hesitation needed!
“I… I’m willing. No, I mean, whatever you do to me, I can accept!” she blurted out excitedly.
Bai Feng raised an eyebrow. “Huh?”
You dare say that?
Seeing him didn’t reply, she quickly added, “Even if you treat me like… like a mother—”
“Stop!” Bai Feng cut her off sharply. “I know how committed you are. I trust your loyalty completely. Just focus on cultivating normally first, and we’ll talk about this later.”
“Okay, okay!”
Her heart fluttered with a strange feeling—she shouldn’t have said those words so eagerly. She was just a servant, after all. That was over the line. Would her master think she’s scheming for power? That she harbored ambitions?
【Ding! Detected that the host’s brief words caused Zuo Qiu to panic internally, drastically reducing her chance of breakthrough into Transformation God. Reward: Luck Points +998, Immortal Arm – bl**d God Technique.】
Bai Feng: “?”
Wait a minute—Zuo Qiu, what’s wrong with you? I emphasized that so many times—you’re panicking over nothing!
In his mind, he sighed—dealing with Zuo Qiu, he had to be strict. No, better to give clear, unquestionable orders.
Is she perhaps a little M?
He muttered internally, then turned to look at her, her face suddenly a little panicked. He put down his brush and reached out, pinching her little face.
“Master…?”
“I don’t like overthinking little dogs,” Bai Feng said coldly. “We don’t need to read each other’s minds like others do. Whatever I say is what I mean. No other thoughts. Understand?”
“Y-Yes!” Zuo Qiu quickly nodded.
“And if you have any needs or want to say something, just tell me directly—don’t overthink it. Don’t make me guess what you’re thinking.”
“I—I understand, Master!”
Bai Feng finally loosened her little face, a faint smile appearing. “Remember—you’re my obedient dog, so you have to follow my preferences!”
“Yes!”
Staring blankly for a few seconds, Zuo Qiu’s ears turned slightly pink, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
“Anything else? Say it quickly if you do,” Bai Feng said as he resumed his calligraphy.
“I… I want the master to stay with me a little longer, please?” she asked softly, her eyes glimmering with hope.
“Hehe, I might’ve refused earlier,” Bai Feng teased, glancing at the disappointed look on Zuo Qiu, “but I’m glad you actually listened and told me what you think. So, sure—I’ll keep you company for a bit.”
Her disappointment melted into excitement. She beamed, hurriedly walking over beside Bai Feng. “Thank you, master! Can we take a walk? I made some special accessories—hope you’ll like them.”
Bai Feng looked at the dog ears and tail accessories she brought out, feeling a bit silent inside—those probably weren’t plugins, right?
