Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"How am I using my disciple as a pawn?" Yun Ping tossed his head and glanced at the boy with disdain. "I'm training my disciple's combat skills. Only by getting used to facing real enemies can he avoid becoming cannon fodder on the battlefield. If he spends all day shooting at puppets, he won't even know how to draw a bow when a real fight breaks out, believe it or not?"

"Tch, what a load of nonsense. Is this her first time drawing a bow? Aren't you afraid of hurting that apprentice over there?"

Yunping chuckled, "Sorry, he's not my apprentice yet."

The boy immediately looked at Yunping with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic, "Then what you did is murder! Let me tell you, we are still within the territory of the Empire. If you break the law, I will personally send you to jail."

"Get the hell out of here! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuchan interrupted their conversation.

The silver-haired girl placed her hand on the bowstring with a gloomy expression, and wisps of spiritual energy belonging to the Thousand Blades Technique gradually emanated from between her fair fingers.

This is the biggest advantage of the bow-shaped magical artifact—it does not require real arrows. When the user needs to draw the bow, they only need to condense their spiritual energy into the shape of an arrow, and then they can shoot it directly.

However, this was Ye Yuchan's first time condensing spiritual energy. Shaping spiritual energy is not so simple. Although Ye Yuchan had reached the Xuanmen stage and her control over spiritual energy was not too bad, she still spent about a minute condensing the first arrow.

It was a silver arrow that emitted a sharp, piercing light. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the entire arrow was composed of hundreds or thousands of thin silver threads. These silver threads were the spiritual energy generated by the Thousand Blades Technique.

Ye Yuchan nocked her bow, aimed the arrow at Zhang Ruoxue, and then took a deep breath.

Zhang Ruoxue, who was in the distance, was taken aback at first, but then she understood – after all, Ye Yuchan was Yunping’s apprentice, and how could an apprentice disobey the orders given by his teacher?

She unconsciously thought of herself, and realized that she had ended up in this predicament because she had betrayed her teacher's orders.

A bitter feeling rose in Zhang Ruoxue's heart, and she immediately closed her eyes, waiting for the arrow to arrive.

call out--

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Zhang Ruoxue bit her lip tightly, but something unexpected happened.

She didn't hear the sound of the apple being pierced, nor did she feel any physical pain.

What happened?

She opened her eyes blankly, and then realized that Ye Yuchan's aim had shifted away from her and turned towards a white-robed male cultivator beside her.

Huh?

Not only her, but Yun Ping and Duan Sheng were also stunned.

Yunping, in particular, touched the spiritual energy arrow stuck in his forehead and was momentarily taken aback.

then……

Why the hell did you shoot me?!

59. You were born cheap, weren't you?

"Why the hell did you shoot me?!"

In the backyard of the courtyard house, Yunping, with a silver arrow stuck in his head, looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Regarding Yunping's shouting, Ye Yuchan simply picked at her ear as if nothing had happened, "What's all the yelling about? He's a grown man, he just got shot in the face, what's there to yell about?"

"Because I told you to shoot apples, what kind of nonsense is it to shoot them in my face?"

Yunping paused right after he finished speaking, wondering if what he had just said was a bit vulgar.

However, Ye Yuchan had no intention of paying attention to her perverted teacher's dirty jokes. Instead, she continued to draw her bow, gathering her spiritual energy while explaining.

"Didn't you tell me you wanted to practice on real people? I just thought that having a target that just stands still is too boring, so I thought I'd use you to practice on."

"What kind of twisted logic is this?!" Yun Ping yanked the arrow out of the center of his forehead and crushed it into dust with a casual squeeze.

"Isn't that what you said~" Ye Yuchan shrugged innocently, her feigned helplessness just as annoying as Yun Ping's. "The battlefield is very cruel and ruthless. I need to get familiar with the battlefield as soon as possible. You know that, when a real fight breaks out, who will stand still and let you shoot them? Do you really think they're stupid?"

"So I think it's better not to shoot her, but to shoot you instead, because you not only move very fast, but you also make noises."

—Isn't this a dirty joke too?!

No, no, no, let's not worry about whether these words carry any impure meaning.

In short, Yunping realized that Ye Yuchan seemed determined to use him as a moving target!

This is damn wrong. I'm supposed to train an apprentice, not a female hooligan!

Lin Yuan, a cute and obedient female disciple who always comes over to rub her face and ask for a hug, is the type Yunping likes the most, not this kind of female hooligan who takes her anger out on her teacher for no reason!

At this moment, Yunping truly felt—

My approach to raising Ye Yuchan... seems to have gone wrong?

Before Yunping could figure out a plan to rebuild the arrow, Ye Yuchan had already condensed a second arrow of spiritual energy. Compared to the first one, the second one was condensed much faster, and the purity of the spiritual energy contained within the arrow was also improved.

This surprised Ye Yuchan herself. In fact, when she shot the first arrow, she realized that this black bow was different from any other magical artifact she had encountered in Tianbei Valley.

Because at the moment she shot it out, she clearly sensed that her spiritual energy had been amplified.

She didn't know exactly how much it increased, but a magic weapon that could increase spiritual energy was definitely no less than a high-grade magic weapon!

In other words, what she holds in her hand is likely one of the few top-grade magic artifacts in the entire Jinglin City, or even a king-level magic artifact that neither Tianbei Valley nor Leiyu Sect has ever possessed!

Good heavens! This is all money... Pshaw, these are things that money can't buy!

Unfortunately, Ye Yuchan was unaware that the black bow in her hand was not comparable to a mere royal weapon, but rather a celestial weapon, surpassing even royal weapons. Even the vast imperial family only possessed a handful of celestial weapons.

call out--

Another arrow was shot, still aimed at Yunping's forehead.

Yunping had no idea why this brat liked to attack his head all the time, but the arrow posed no threat to him whatsoever. With a casual flick of his wrist, he shattered the spiked arrow into dust.

He helplessly raised his dead fish eyes and said indifferently, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but using me to test your bow skills is a no-go. With your skill level, if I stand still and move even a fraction of an inch, I'm done for..."

As he was speaking, an invisible thin line suddenly snapped.

Yunping's right hand suddenly sank, and explosive spiritual energy burst forth from his palm. This sudden change caused Yunping to tilt slightly to the right.

……

Yes, he moved.

He stared in astonishment at his right hand, which was unharmed, but the surprise he had just experienced caught him completely off guard.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way..."

Yunping looked ahead with a bitter smile, where Ye Yuchan was gathering her third arrow.

The master and apprentice locked eyes, and Ye Yuchan revealed a smug smile. "Well, what did you say earlier about me moving a little?"

"No, I didn't say anything—" Yunping was about to renege on his promise.

However, he really didn't expect that Ye Yuchan would incorporate the Dark Heart technique into the arrow so quickly. He originally thought that with this silly girl's brain, it would take several hours before she would come up with such an idea.

Unexpectedly, this was only the second arrow, and she had already incorporated Dark Heart into it.

This girl isn't very perceptive or talented. Could it be that she put all her talent points into combat acumen when she transmigrated?

"Hmph, then prepare to face the third arrow." Ye Yuchan snorted coldly, clearly brimming with confidence.

"Wow, that's quite a jump."

Yunping raised an eyebrow and immediately decided to get revenge. After being tricked by Ye Yuchan, it would be too embarrassing for him as a teacher to just let it go.

So, that teacher, in a particularly shameless way, vanished from Ye Yuchan's sight in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Zhang Ruoxue, tilting his head and giving Ye Yuchan a lewd smile.

"Damn it, you old bastard!"

Upon seeing Yun Ping shamelessly using Zhang Ruoxue as a human shield, Ye Yuchan immediately cursed out loud.

"How am I a jerk~" Yunping put his hand on Zhang Ruoxue's shoulder. Even through the thin Taoist robe, he could feel Zhang Ruoxue's body trembling with anger. "This is also a battlefield."

"Battlefield my ass! You're just playing dirty tricks!"

"You don't understand. On the battlefield, it's incredibly common to use prisoners as human shields. Sometimes, you even have to turn on your former comrades. You need to be aware of that."

"I! I...I!" Ye Yuchan said "I" three times in a row, but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

Finally, unable to contain his anger, he let out a loud curse.

"You old bastard, you were born a lowly creature, weren't you?!"

Yunping simply spread his hands and smiled faintly.

"No, I'm a Taurus."

"you……"

Ye Yuchan was once again choked by Yun Ping, and she hated Yun Ping so much that her teeth itched. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to devour Yun Ping.

There's no way around it, that old bastard, he's such a damn scoundrel!

What's even more infuriating is that Yunping would occasionally make a few provocative gestures, making Ye Yuchan tremble with anger.

60. Those who are base will be punished by Heaven.

Faced with Yun Ping's utterly despicable behavior, Ye Yuchan really wanted to jump up and kick the old bastard's genitals to pieces.

This is ridiculous! The idea that human shields are common on the battlefield, or that this is just battlefield training, is utter bullshit. This old scoundrel is just playing with himself!

Ye Yuchan's hand holding the black bow was trembling uncontrollably—not from the cold or fear, but from anger.

She felt that all the anger she had in her past lives combined was less than the anger she had suffered at Yunping's place during this period.

Especially when she tried to aim at Yunping's head again, but he kept swaying back and forth while grinning lewdly—she felt like killing him.

That's so damn shameless!

"The wicked will be punished by Heaven, and the cowardly will be sent to their doom."

Just then, the boy, who had been watching the whole farce from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward.

He walked over to Ye Yuchan, who was so angry she was almost delirious, and placed his hand on her bow arm.

This action caught the attention of Yun Ping and Ye Yuchan, who both turned their gazes to the boy.

The boy, with his listless and dejected eyes, took the black bow from Ye Yuchan's hand and gently stroked the bow arm. His infatuated expression was as if he were caressing the shapely buttocks of a stunningly beautiful woman.
