I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

One hour later.

"Squeak—"

The tightly closed wooden door of the pavilion on the back hill was finally pushed open from the inside.

Yu Linglong staggered across the threshold.

Her purple palace dress remained magnificent, and her hair was still neatly styled.

I just stopped outside the door.

……

……

Her appearance was not like that of a high and mighty Golden Core cultivator, but rather like that of a frail mortal woman who was like a candle in the wind, about to collapse at any moment.

Hiding behind an ancient tree hundreds of meters away, Leng Qingyue felt a sharp pang in her heart at this scene.

How could this happen?!

Golden Core cultivators have already undergone a complete physical transformation, and their Qi and blood are as stable as a mountain, making them impossible to be injured or sick.

If it weren't for the extremely devastating blow, or...

Having had its essence forcibly drained, it's impossible for it to be in such a weak state!

In Leng Qingyue's mind, several vicious and evil techniques of sexual exploitation recorded in the forbidden scriptures of the Hehuan Sect immediately came to mind.

Plunder life! Destroy the foundation!

These evil techniques can steal a cultivator's essence without them even realizing it, thus strengthening themselves. Those whose essence is being drained will suffer damage to their foundation, a decline in their cultivation, and even the depletion of their lifespan!

Is it...

The moment this thought arose, Cao Kun's tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from the attic.

He walked with a confident stride, looking refreshed and with a satisfied expression on his face.

His vibrant spirits contrasted sharply with the precarious state of Yu Linglong outside the door!

This completely confirmed Leng Qingyue's suspicions!

That beast!

He was indeed using evil magic to harm his master!

Just as Leng Qingyue was consumed by rage and almost lost control, drawing her sword and rushing out.

Cao Kun's actions made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Cao Kun strode forward and, with perfect ease, grabbed Yu Linglong's slender waist, pulling her half into his embrace.

Immediately, he flipped his wrist, and a cup of spiritual tea, still emitting wisps of steam, appeared out of thin air in his palm. Without saying a word, he handed it to Yu Linglong's lips.

"Master, it's all my fault."

"Quick, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Although Leng Qingyue couldn't hear what was being said.

But this frivolous action says it all.

This is not concern at all; it is clearly the devil's hypocritical boasting and charity after tasting the offering!

Yu Linglong's delicate body stiffened for a moment in Cao Kun's arms.

She raised her head, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with overwhelming shame, anger, and murderous intent.

But when she met Cao Kun's smiling eyes, all her emotions receded like the tide, leaving only numb despair.

She snatched the teacup, as if to shut Cao Kun up or to vent her anger, and drank the scalding hot spiritual tea in one gulp.

Then, using all her strength, she pushed Cao Kun away forcefully.

He fled without looking back.

Watching Yu Linglong's hasty retreat, Cao Kun not only showed no restraint, but instead cupped his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly at the sky without any regard for propriety:

"Master—!"

"Don't forget to learn the piece I gave you when you get back!"

"Next time we meet, I will personally...test you!"

The sound was deafening, echoing across half of the back mountain.

That extremely arrogant shout completely shattered the last shred of hope that remained in Leng Qingyue's heart.

song?

An inspection?

He... he actually mistook his master for a courtesan in a brothel, someone to entertain men?!

What a shame!

This is a trampling on our master, on the entire Lianxiang Peak, no, on the entire Hehuan Sect!

"Buzz—"

The snow-white longsword in Leng Qingyue's hand let out a mournful cry.

Killing intent!

It was boiling in her chest!

She could even feel that the cold poison in her body was suppressed to some extent by this extreme anger.

Don't act impulsively!

This person's methods are bizarre; even his master, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, was manipulated by him.

For someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment to charge in like that is no different from suicide.

The master's revenge must be taken!

But not in such a foolish way!

Since brute force won't work, then... we'll use strategy!

This fiend can control the master, so it must hold some kind of fatal weakness in the master's hands, or use some kind of insidious restriction technique.

What I need to do is to keep him calm, pretend to be compliant, and find out how he controls his master.

As long as we can find a weakness, we can strike a fatal blow and save our master from dire straits!

Having made up her mind, Leng Qingyue stopped concealing herself.

I started walking towards the attic.

……

Back inside, Cao Kun felt incredibly relaxed and happy.

The massage service provided by the Golden Elixir Master is an exceptional experience.

He was just about to continue transforming the power of chaos.

Outside the attic, there was a soft knocking sound.

"Thump, thump thump".

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

"You've only been gone a short while, and you've already come to your senses?"

He was thinking to himself, but a wicked smile had already crept onto his lips.

It seems that Master is quite service-oriented.

Cao Kun strolled over and yanked open the wooden door.

Standing outside the door was not the alluring purple figure he had imagined.

Instead, she was dressed in a simple white dress, exuding a cool and aloof aura.

Under the moonlight, her already stunningly beautiful face gained an even more ethereal beauty.

However, the lingering chill between her brows made her seem somewhat unapproachable.

Before Cao Kun could speak, Leng Qingyue bowed slightly.

"Manager Cao."

She held an antique white jade wine pot in her hands, with two matching wine cups beside her.

"What happened during the day was due to Qingyue's impulsiveness and recklessness. She misunderstood Steward Cao and feels truly ashamed."

"I specially brought my treasured Snow Lotus Cleansing Wine to apologize to the manager, and I hope he will not take offense."

His words were impeccable, and he adopted a very humble attitude.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be completely bewildered and disoriented by the overtures of such an icy beauty.

But Cao Kun looked into Leng Qingyue's eyes, which showed no remorse whatsoever.

And that clumsy acting, which was so bad it was an insult to one's intelligence, made him sneer inwardly.

A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken has ulterior motives.

This girl was publicly reprimanded by her master during the day, she probably hates me a lot, and now she's come here to apologize?

That's a lie.

However, Cao Kun did not expose him on the spot.

Instead, they quickly stepped aside to make way.

"Oh, it's Junior Sister Leng! Please come in!"

"That was all a small misunderstanding during the day. We're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. Junior sister, you're too kind. Please come in and sit down; it's too cold standing outside."

This enthusiastic attitude made Leng Qingyue even more contemptuous of Cao Kun.

As expected, he was an unsophisticated outer disciple who relied on unorthodox methods to curry favor with his master. He revealed his true colors as soon as he was given a little kindness.

"Thank you, Steward Cao."

Leng Qingyue suppressed her nausea and stepped into the attic.

However, the moment she stepped inside, the wooden door behind her was slammed shut by Cao Kun.

Cao Kun leaned against the door, arms crossed, watching her with a smile.

"Junior sister, the wine is excellent."

"However, just drinking is no fun."

"How about... we try something more exciting?"
