Jiang Xuan thought he had successfully bamboozled Xiyao.
Little did he know, he was about to get a storm of humiliation instead.
“Master, you can treat me like little Ying, and she already did that to you anyway. What’s a few more times, right?”
“I never expected Master to verbally reject me but secretly give in, still being so unforthright. Just like how you claimed to follow the Unfeeling Dao, pushing us away miles apart, but behind closed doors you really cared about us few disciples.”
“It’s just, I still don’t get it. Master, you’re like a godly presence—why would you reincarnate? But that’s not important now. What matters is that Master is now an easy target for bullying—I quite like it.”
“You…you really chose to be the rebellious disciple. Don’t you fear what will happen in the future…”
“What? Master, do you plan on punishing me later? Then I better milk this now while I have the chance.
Hmm~ being weak means being stepped on. Didn’t you teach me that before?
But maybe Master never thought you’d end up weak too. But now, feeling it firsthand can’t come soon enough.”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
“Master, as you know, all that’s left of my spirit is just a wisp. If Little Ying didn’t find me, this wisp probably would have vanished by now.
In fact, seeing you again is already a huge blessing.
Originally, I wasn’t hopeful about the future, but your words just now inspired me. I’ve decided, I’ll fight tooth and nail to seize my future.”
Jiang Xuan: “? ! ? ! ? !”
Right then, Jiang Xuan froze. He initially felt moved by Xiyao’s speech, but now he was too scared to move at all.
Not only was he outplayed, his future is now intertwined with hers; he had no choice but to submit.
After two hours, Xiyao happily hummed:
“Master, now you see how awesome your disciple is? Well, I originally just wanted a taste, but blame it all on you tempting me.”
Jiang Xuan: “? ! ! ! ! !”
“Is this even human language?”
“Of course not! If not for Master’s weak and pitiful self, I wouldn’t have been able to resist…taking advantage…”
“Enough, let’s stop here. My soul’s energy is nearly depleted, I need days to recover.
Ah, it’s such a waste… if I were in my prime, I definitely wouldn’t pass up this golden opportunity.
Master, you should talk with Little Ying. In terms of hierarchy, she’s your disciple’s disciple.
Oh, I haven’t revealed your identity to her yet. It’s up to you whether or not to tell her.
When you were pouring out feelings earlier, I put Little Ying on mute and triggered her spirit’s short nap.
I haven’t figured out how to explain it to her yet. After all, Master’s identity is quite complicated to explain.
Leave it to you. I’ll erase the details of me possessing Little Ying. She won’t notice a thing. I’m sleepy, bye.”
Jiang Xuan: “? ! ! ? !”
Watching Xiyao run off after thoroughly looting him, ready to pin the blame on him, Jiang Xuan hadn’t even gotten a chance for a friendly chat, but he still gave her the middle finger when she wasn’t looking.
As Xiyao’s voice faded, a faint white light slowly returned from Murong Ying back into the jade pendant.
Murong Ying’s appearance reverted to normal, collapsing to the side.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan hurried over to support her.
A moment later, Murong Ying slowly opened her eyes. She glanced around before settling on Jiang Xuan.
“Xuan, what’s this… I remember we took a break…
Then… then there seems to be a memory gap…
What happened afterwards?”
Realizing Murong Ying truly couldn’t recall being possessed by Xiyao, Jiang Xuan pondered for a bit before explaining:
“Misstress Murong, could you have forgotten? You… after resting up, defying my protests, you favored me for another two hours. See these marks? You left them forcibly…”
Hearing this, Murong Ying examined Jiang Xuan’s markings as well as her own.
Quickly convinced, though puzzled why such significant events slipped her mind.
Before she lost it, Jiang Xuan chimed in:
“That’s right… Misstress Murong, near the end, you might have gotten too excited, so you fainted briefly…”
“Ah, that explains it. No wonder I felt like bits and pieces were missing—it must be because I was too hyped.”
“If I’m to lose those memories, oh well. Let’s create new ones then, Xuan, you understand, right?”
Jiang Xuan: “? ! ? ! ? !”
“Wait a minute, I… I think Misstress Murong needs a good rest first.
You… not only got too excited, but also might’ve been tired, so… please rest now.”
Straightening himself up, Jiang Xuan continued:
“Misstress Murong, stay inside and rest. I’ll prepare some delicious food, help you regain your strength. Please wait here patiently.”
Murong Ying: “? ! ? ! ? !”
At this point, Murong Ying was utterly perplexed.
【What exactly happened… before our break, Xuan was still pleading for gentleness, how did this become all my fault?
But… I do feel a bit sore…
Must be exhaustion making me blank…
How could this be… As a goddess-warrior… Am I really no match for a delicate, harmless young man?
If that’s the case, does Xuan look down on me…?
Dammit! What happened during those blank hours? I must find out. I absolutely have to recover my goddess glory!】
Elsewhere, outside the small hut.
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly snapped awake, her aura tinged with eerie energy.
Lan Xin hurriedly moved away from her side.
Seeing Jiang Xuan walk out of the hut, Lan Xin immediately broke the barrier in front of the door and promptly communicated:
“Master, bad news! That childhood friend of yours… seems to have gone rogue…”
