Let me explain, it's not what you think.

Lu Chen looked at her but didn't move.

"Didn't you say that you should drink water if you're thirsty?" Yue Qinglan tilted her head and looked at him.

"Or is it that you're no longer thirsty, sir?"

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, opened his mouth, and took two sips.

His face felt hot.

Yue Qinglan put the water pouch away, then went around behind him, reached out and gently massaged his shoulder.

Her fingers were still so cold, and her strength was still so precise.

"You were thinking of leaving? Why did you stop?"

"You can't leave here."

Why?

Lu Chen did not answer.

He can't exactly say, "I'm afraid something will happen to you if I leave."

Yue Qinglan didn't press him further, but continued to press his shoulders gently and patiently, as if she were taking care of a child throwing a tantrum.

"What exactly do you want?"

Yue Qinglan looked at him, thought for a moment, and then smiled.

"I don't have any particular plans. I'll do whatever you tell me to do, and I won't do whatever you tell me not to do. I'm a very obedient person."

Looking at her gentle and tender face, Lu Chen felt that something was starting to feel off.

"Aren't you afraid I'll get you into trouble?"

"You won't."

How did you know?

"Because you are handsome, I want to serve you."

When Yue Qinglan said this, she stared at him without blinking, and the curve of her lips was incredibly gentle.

"Fairy, please spare me! I've confessed everything, let's leave now, okay?"

Lu Chen distanced himself from her.

Seeing that he finally couldn't take it anymore, Yue Qinglan returned to normal and became dignified.

"Then you need to tell me first why you recognized me but didn't take me with you?"

This was the biggest question on her mind.

"Actually, I have a good brother named Li Fei. When I found out he was here, I thought I'd wait for him and let him get to know you better, which would be good for his future development."

"So he's Xiaofei's friend. He risked everything to stop me, all for his brother. What a good kid..."

"You're a good person, at least you're thinking of your brother!"

Yue Qinglan's eyes softened again.

"However, you've been treating me like a slave these past few days. Do you want me to pay you back now, or wait until I recover?"

She wasn't afraid of Lu Chen because, through her observations over the past few days, she knew that Lu Chen hadn't harmed her in the slightest, and that he was a true gentleman who would never lay a hand on her. That's why she felt comfortable taking advantage of him.

Their skill level is too low; they can be easily defeated.

As she expected, Lu Chen was a very gentlemanly child. He immediately said that he would be his servant right now, even if he didn't eat grass.

"From now on, you must listen to me. You've been ordering me around for days; it's time for you to pay me back."

Yue Qinglan stood up, walked up to him, and looked down at him.

Looking at the headlights that were almost touching his face, Lu Chen wanted to say something, but seeing her self-righteous expression, he swallowed his words.

"Water." Yue Qinglan sat down opposite him, mimicking his previous tone.

Lu Chen paused for a moment, then took out the water pouch and handed it over.

Feed me.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, unscrewed the cap of the water bag, and brought it to her lips.

Yue Qinglan took two sips and turned her head away.

"Alright."

"Fanning".

Lu Chen: "..."

He thought she was a bit naive, but he did as she said.

"Pound your legs."

"Oh? This, this isn't right, fairy! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

"Then why did you ask me to massage your legs?"

"But if I give you the hammer, I'm taking advantage of you!"

"Snapped!"

Yue Qinglan gently patted Lu Chen's head.

"What nonsense are you thinking? I'm Qingxue's master. Qingxue often beats me up. You're just a junior, and you're getting shy!"

Lu Chen: "..."

He put down his fan, reached out, and gently massaged her legs.

He couldn't control his strength well; sometimes he used too little, sometimes too much, and his whole face turned red.

As Yue Qinglan watched his clumsy movements, the smile on her lips deepened.

However, the rosy glow on her pretty face could not be hidden.

She seemed carefree and called herself an elder, but she had never actually had a man massage her legs before, nor had she ever been in contact with one!

She closed her eyes, leaned against the cave wall, and sensed Lu Chen's flustered and awkward state until she couldn't help but speak herself:

"Shoulder massage".

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He walked around behind her, reached out, and gently squeezed her shoulder.

However, this only made her feel worse, and before long, she pressed his hand down.

"Alright, sit down."

Lu Chen paused for a moment, then sat back down next to her.

When his "master" exposed him, he avoided looking into her eyes, his ears turning red.

Looking at him like this, Yue Qinglan suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable tenderness in her heart.

He's a good kid, more or less, but...

She reached out, picked up the water pouch, unscrewed the cap, and held it to his lips.

"You've worked hard. Here, have some water."

Lu Chen: "???"

He really felt something was wrong, really.

He opened his mouth, took two sips, and water overflowed from the corners of his mouth, running down his chin.

Yue Qinglan reached out and gently wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with her sleeve until she reached his chest.

Lu Chen's body stiffened for a moment.

He could feel the touch.

"Alright, I'm still not used to this. Now, go sit up there and I'll give you a massage."

Lu Chen wanted to refuse, but her fingers had already pressed down.

"You're too nervous. Just relax. Why are you so nervous around me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen gave a wry smile and helplessly relaxed his shoulders.

Yue Qinglan looked at him, a smile curving her lips.

Her hands continued to press, from his shoulder to the back of his neck, and from the back of his neck to his arm, each movement gentle.

"Go to sleep," she whispered.

Lu Chen had no choice but to pretend to be asleep.

What cultivator sleeps? Unless they are in a very bad mental state, they simply cannot fall asleep.

On the contrary, Yue Qinglan, whose cultivation level dropped due to injury, needs to sleep every day these days.

However, after realizing that Lu Chen had fallen asleep, she didn't do anything more. Instead, she tidied herself up and went to sleep on her own.

……

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Yue Qinglan arrived at Lu Chen's side early.

There was no other way; she had lost her cultivation now, and there was nothing for her to do after waking up. So she might as well mess with Lu Chen and make him lie to her!

Lu Chen had already figured out how to get rid of her.

"Master Fairy, I brought some medicine to heal your injuries. Why don't you use it so you can recover your cultivation as soon as possible?"

As he spoke, he took out a number of pills.

But at this moment, Yue Qinglan didn't even glance at him. Instead, she sat down on the stone stool, crossed her legs, and adopted a lazy and noble posture, with her toes pointing directly at Lu Chen.
