If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

"but……"

She suddenly changed the subject.

Mo Chengyue's heart, which had just begun to relax, instantly jumped into his throat again.

"You look terrible..."

Yan Chenyu looked him up and down, her gaze lingering on his waist for two seconds.

"Why do I feel a little weak?"

"Although my cultivation has improved a lot and my foundation has become more solid."

"But those dark circles under my eyes..."

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"You should still be more mindful of moderation in the future."

"After all, they are young, there's plenty of time ahead of them."

"Don't take advantage of your limited resources to squander them."

Mo Chengyue felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment, he felt completely exposed and naked.

What does Master mean by those words?

control?

capital?

Did she find out something?

Do not!impossible!

I don't even smell like anything, how could she possibly know!

They're definitely trying to scam me!

This sixth master loves playing these kinds of psychological games!

"Master is right!"

Mo Chengyue gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"This disciple must have been staying up late these past few days studying formation books, which has taken a toll on his mental health."

"I'll catch up on my sleep as soon as I get back! I will never let my master down!"

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Mo Chengyue decided to continue playing dumb to the end.

Yan Chenyu was even more amused by his nonchalant attitude.

This young apprentice has impressive mental fortitude.

It seems that we can develop even more fun uses for it in the future.

"Alright, get lost."

She waved her hand dismissively.

"Look at your shabby appearance, go back and wash up and go to bed."

"Oh, right."

Just as Mo Chengyue was feeling like he had been granted a pardon and got up to make a quick getaway.

Yan Chenyu added another sentence lightly.

"Remember to wear that spirit wood crown when you go out in the future."

"It suits you quite well."

Especially in certain specific situations.

It can also provide first-person perspective live streaming services.

What a wonderful tool!

Mo Chengyue paused, and subconsciously touched the top of his head.

That lush green spirit wood crown is still on her head.

Although I don't know if Master's words had any deeper meaning.

But he always felt a chill on the top of his head.

There's also the feeling of being made a fool of.

"Yes! This disciple takes his leave!"

Mo Chengyue dared not think too much; if he stayed any longer, he feared his heart would stop.

He bowed, then turned and ran.

The speed was more than twice as fast as when they came.

It felt like my butt was on fire.

Until Mo Chengyue's figure completely disappeared outside the main hall.

Yan Chenyu's smile gradually faded.

Instead, there was a subtle, shrewdness.

She stretched, her beautiful curves fully revealed beneath her nightgown.

"Cold Moon Heart, oh Cold Moon Heart."

She murmured softly, her fingertips gently tapping the edge of the water mirror.

"I didn't expect such a strong taste."

"They actually like this... young chicken?"

"Tsk."

"However, since you've been living off my apprentice..."

"From now on, you'll have to take full responsibility for your foolish apprentice!"

Yan Chenyu smiled slightly, her beauty captivating.

She waved her hand casually.

The doors of the main hall slammed shut.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

"Watching TV late into the night last night really hurt my skin."

……

at the same time.

Upon escaping back to his cave, Mo Chengyue immediately activated all the restrictions.

Acronymic diaphragm, maze, alarm bell...

Layer upon layer, he wrapped himself up like an iron barrel.

Until it was confirmed that not even a fly could get in.

He finally let out a long breath and slumped onto the prayer mat.

"That was close."

"I almost gave myself away in front of that old witch."

Mo Chengyue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although the process was thrilling.

But the result was good.

Not only was his cultivation level purified to the extreme, but his early Foundation Establishment stage was as stable as a rock.

He also obtained a long-term meal ticket from a Nascent Soul expert, although he got it by selling himself.

The key is.

He successfully deceived his master and saved his life.

This is like dancing a tango on a knife's edge.

We've won so much!

Mo Chengyue took out the ice-blue jade talisman from his pocket.

Looking at the aloof "moon" character above.

Last night's crazy and hazy memories involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

And Leng Yuexin's behavior was completely different from usual...

"stop!"

Mo Chengyue suddenly slapped himself.

"What are you thinking about!"

"That's a Nascent Soul stage monster! A ruthless female demon who eats people without spitting out the bones!"

"Wake up if you don't want to die!"

He took a deep breath and solemnly put the jade talisman into the deepest part of his storage bag.

This thing.

From now on, it will be his talisman, and also his death warrant.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."

"Take a nap to replenish your blood."

"Even eating ten pounds of goji berries wouldn't make up for the energy you expended that night."

Mo Chengyue yawned and lay down on the ground.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.

In my dream.

There is no Leng Yuexin, no Yan Chenyu.

There are only sacred stones covering the mountains and an endless supply of fish to catch.

That was the life he longed for...

What he didn't know was...

On his head was the spirit wood crown that he had casually tossed aside.

A barely perceptible rune flickered slightly.

Like a spying eye.

It closes slowly.

early morning.

The sunlight, like an unreasonable client, forcibly pierced through the clouds and mist of Qingquan Peak.

Mo Chengyue lay on the stone bed in his own cave, feeling completely drained.

To hollow out literally.

Although his cultivation had been purified to the extreme by that female demon Leng Yuexin, his foundation was as solid as if he had built a ten-story foundation.

But my kidneys still feel a dull ache.

Is this the price of the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball"?

Being a kept man in the cultivation world is indeed a painful experience.

He struggled to get up and grabbed the green object from the bedside table.

Spirit Wood Crown.

Master Yan Chenyu euphemistically called it a "defense artifact".

This thing is entirely emerald green, so green it glows, so green it makes your heart race.

Holding it in your hand feels like holding a piece of the Hulunbuir Grassland.

"Wearing this thing out in public?"

Mo Chengyue's lips twitched.

"I'm afraid I'm going to become the number one 'green' light walker in the Hehuan Sect."

"Master's perverse sense of humor is absolutely outrageous."

He glanced at it disdainfully and decisively stuffed the hat, which symbolized "forgiveness," into the bottom of his storage bag.

Two bricks should be placed on top to prevent it from jumping out on its own.

As long as I don't wear it, no one can cheat on me.

I quickly washed up.

Mo Chengyue changed into a drab gray disciple's robe.

This was a "casual outfit" that he specifically went to the errand boy's office to get.

The fabric is rough, and the cut is loose.

Once you put it on, you instantly blend into the background; even your own mother wouldn't recognize you if you were thrown into a crowd.

She has a perfect grasp of the character and demeanor.

"Going to work."

Mo Chengyue stretched, picked up his fine steel longsword, and flew leisurely towards the Sutra Repository.

As an ambitious office worker.

As long as I don't die on the boss's bed, even if I'm still alive, I'll crawl to my workstation to slack off.

After all, the library was his happy home.

……

The Sutra Repository is on the second floor.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of old paper and mothproofing herbs.

Tranquil and peaceful.

Mo Chengyue skillfully sat down behind the inconspicuous desk in the corner.

Brew a pot of cheap tea called "Enlightenment Tea," which is actually just "broken tea leaves."

Get into position and open a book titled "Three Hundred Explanations of Basic Formations".

The day's "work" has begun.

On the surface, he was in a daze.

His eyes were lifeless, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

In fact, his divine sense had already spread out like an octopus.

It covered more than a dozen bookshelves around it.

After being "forced to study" by Leng Yuexin, a Nascent Soul expert.

His spiritual strength had reached an abnormal level.

"Quantum speed reading, activated."

Mo Chengyue silently recited in his heart.

As his divine sense swept over the jade slips on the bookshelf, the contents flowed into his mind like a stream.

Included in "A Guide to Cultivating Spiritual Plants".

"Easy Methods of Drawing Basic Talismans"? Included.

"The Amorous History of the Hehuan Sect"? Hmm... This is a key entry; it can be used as conversation starters later.

His brain is like a supercomputer.

It frantically devoured all the knowledge on the first and second floors of the library.

Although they are all basic techniques and miscellaneous knowledge.

But quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

The more books you read, the sooner you'll be able to see through any fancy tricks you try.

This is called a dimensional reduction attack.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Mo!"

A crisp sound broke the silence.

Lin Wanqing, carrying a stack of newly organized jade slips, hopped over like a cheerful little sparrow.

Her face wore a sweet smile, the kind that hasn't been beaten down by society.

"morning."

Mo Chengyue didn't even lift his eyelids, maintaining his deep, thoughtful expression as if he were contemplating life.
