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

"Traitor!"

"..."

"..."

……

……

……

……

The heavenly notification sound rang in my mind at just the right moment.

[Ding! The jade beast has been detected as having submitted physically and mentally. Taming value +5!]

[Reward: 500 Mission Points]

Current taming level: 33

[Congratulations, host! Jade Beast slot increased by 1!]

[Host's Beastmaster level has broken through to Novice Beastmaster. Please find a second top-grade jade beast to bind with as soon as possible!]

Thirty-three points of taming is worth it.

At this rate, it will be just around the corner to completely transform the arrogant master into an obedient little kitten.

In addition, new slots have been unlocked.

Almost subconsciously, Cao Kun's mind conjured up Leng Qingyue's pretty face, which was both aloof and ethereal, yet also possessed a touch of naivety.

The Supreme Ice Spirit Body is a top-tier physique for cultivation.

It will be of great benefit to the cultivation of the "Chaos Returning to One Technique" in the future.

Cao Kun snapped out of his daze and turned his gaze to Yu Linglong, who was still slumped on the throne.

"Master."

Cao Kun cleared his throat and began his post-lesson summary in a serious tone:

……(disappear)

Yu Linglong turned her head to the side, refusing to look at this rebellious disciple again.

……(disappear)

What?! A change in aura?!

What high notes?!

This traitor... he's a devil!

Seeing his master's submissive, "angry but not daring to speak" demeanor, Cao Kun was in high spirits and continued to deliver the finishing blow:

"However, everything is difficult at the beginning."

"I believe that as long as Master practices diligently, his singing skills will be unparalleled in Qingzhou."

"Alright, let's stop practicing here for tonight."

Cao Kun clapped his hands, turned and walked out of the hall. Before leaving, he turned back and tossed out a casual remark:

"Remember to drink more hot water to soothe your throat; it's a little hoarse, and it breaks my heart to hear that."

"roll--!!"

Yu Linglong finally lost her temper and grabbed the jade pillow next to her, throwing it at him.

Unfortunately, she was too weak to move, and the pillow flew less than three feet before landing on the ground with a thud.

Cao Kun laughed as he dodged the harmless hidden weapon and disappeared into the night.

My raging master is kind of cute~

……

Cao Kun was in high spirits and leisurely strolled back to the herb garden on the back mountain along the mountain path.

However, as soon as he stepped into the area of ​​the herb garden, he stopped in his tracks in the open space in front of the pavilion.

On the stone steps outside the pavilion, a slender and graceful figure stood with her back to him, leaning against the railing, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

The person had shed the elaborate robes that symbolized their status as a direct disciple during the day, and put on a very thin, plain white gauze dress.

The hem of her skirt swayed gently in the night breeze, clinging to her exquisite curves.

The hazy moonlight filtered through the thin gauze, vaguely revealing her snow-white skin and graceful contours, making her even more stunningly alluring than the coolness of the daytime.

Good heavens...

Cao Kun's eyes lit up, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Isn't this much better than those so-called enrollment brochures from sects?

[If this picture of his back were printed on a flyer, the Hehuan Sect's doors would be worn down by visitors next year, wouldn't they?]

Seemingly hearing footsteps behind her, the beautiful figure slowly turned around.

The moonlight illuminated her cool and pretty face, and also revealed the tension and shyness deep in her eyes that she could not hide.

"Manager Cao... Manager Cao."

Leng Qingyue's voice was very soft.

She took a few steps forward, stopping about three feet away from Cao Kun, her head slightly lowered, not daring to meet his gaze.

Before Cao Kun could speak, Leng Qingyue blushed and spoke first:

"I...I feel like the cold poison in my body is...I feel like it's becoming uncontrollable."

She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her voice growing softer and softer.

"I wonder if I could trouble you again tonight... to help me... to suppress my urges?"

After saying these words, Leng Qingyue felt her cheeks burning hot.

[I don't believe you! Your face is so red it could bleed.]

[The cold poison is acting up, isn't it? Why don't I sense any coldness with my fiery Yang spiritual root? Instead, I sense a vibrant spring-like atmosphere.]

Cao Kun pretended to hesitate as he looked Leng Qingyue up and down.

The gaze travels from her delicate collarbone down to her long, slender legs, which are covered by a thin veil.

"Suppressing the cold poison?"

He chuckled softly, his tone tinged with amusement.

"But I saw that my senior sister had a rosy complexion, full of energy, and her eyes were full of affection."

"This doesn't look like a sign of the cold poison taking effect at all."

"It seems more like..." Cao Kun deliberately drawled, a wicked smile playing on his lips, "that she's been tempted by worldly desires?"

"You! I didn't!"

Feeling ashamed and indignant that her little scheme had been exposed, Leng Qingyue wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into immediately!

Her first instinct was to turn around and run away.

But just as she turned to leave...

The image of her master's exquisitely beautiful face, filled with deep weariness, resurfaced in her mind.

Even for his own sake, the master was willing to humble himself and submit to others.

What does this little humiliation matter?

No! We can't leave!

For the sake of my master, and for my own sake, I must take him down today no matter what!

Thinking of this, Leng Qingyue's heart, which was almost leaping out of her chest, miraculously calmed down.

"Manager Cao!"

She gritted her teeth and took the initiative to reach out her delicate hand and grab Cao Kun's sleeve.

The slightly cool touch made both of them shudder simultaneously.

"I...I won't hide it from you anymore!"

Leng Qingyue was desperate and pleaded in a low voice.

"My master has sacrificed so much for me, I can't let her waste her life force for you... for you!"

"From now on... from now on, you don't need to trouble Master with these things anymore!"

Although her voice was still trembling, her logic was exceptionally clear.

"If we cultivate together, you can borrow my Yin energy to stabilize your Yang spiritual root and improve your cultivation."

"And I can borrow the power of your spiritual root to clear the cold toxins from my body!"

"This...this is a win-win solution!"

"Please... grant my request!"

By the end, her voice was trembling with tears.

Master, oh Master, please listen!

[You good student, so that you can escape this misery as soon as possible, you've even learned to volunteer to share your workload!]

She really... I'm crying my eyes out!

Cao Kun felt a surge of emotion.

Seeing this top-tier experience pack and potential jade beast that had offered itself up to him, he finally stopped being coy.

If we keep teasing them, we might scare them away, which would be a huge loss.

"well……"

Cao Kun let out a meaningful sigh and grasped Leng Qingyue's cold and soft hand.

As their skin touched, Leng Qingyue instinctively tried to pull away, but Cao Kun held her firmly, preventing her from moving.

Cao Kun pulled hard, and Leng Qingyue cried out in surprise as she uncontrollably fell into his broad and warm embrace.

The familiar scent enveloped her, leaving her mind blank.

"Since you are so sincere in seeking medical treatment, and your words are so heartfelt, it is truly touching."

Cao Kun's deep voice rang in her ear.

"How could I, your junior brother, be the kind of heartless person who would stand by and watch someone die?"

He wrapped one arm around Leng Qingyue's soft waist, and with the other hand gently lifted her delicate chin.

Eyes facing each other.

Looking into Leng Qingyue's panicked eyes, Cao Kun couldn't suppress a smile.

"However, let me make this clear from the start."

"The cold toxins in your body have been accumulating for a long time and are deeply rooted. It will take more than a day to completely eradicate them."

"and……"

"This treatment might take longer than the last one."
