Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

Unlike the subtle changes that come with taking medicinal diets, this is a complete and thorough transformation.

The process of activating the dragon blood is short, almost instantaneous, so it doesn't attract much attention.

"Whoo~"

Yi Xue exhaled a breath of stale air, his lips already trembling with suppressed laughter. This was the first time he had felt so energetic since his transmigration; it was as if he had been reborn.

Right now, he probably wouldn't feel tired even if he pressed ten Mu He'er's in a row!

Suppressing her excitement, Yi Xue then flipped over the sixth card.

Golden light!

He instinctively picked up his phone and then put it down again, then realized that this was not his past life, and there was nowhere to share his good fortune.

Yi Xue could only sit there, looking at the rewards that appeared on the panel with some excitement.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill - Crimson Sky Sword Technique - Full Form]

It's swordsmanship? And a complete set at that!

[Crimson Sky Sword Technique (S): A special sword technique that combines the skills of a certain sword master with the power of the dragon. It emphasizes explosive power and takes "deciding the outcome in an instant" as its core concept.

The entire sword technique consists of several moves, from the initial drawing of the sword to the ultimate technique. Each move places extremely high demands on the user's physical fitness and willpower.

Practicing swordsmanship is not only about refining one's skills, but also about growing one's will. To wield this sword, one must not only have the sword in one's hand, but also have the sword in one's heart.

He glanced at it briefly and found it full of sentences he couldn't understand. Seeing the answer and understanding the answer are two different things, not to mention that with his current strength, he couldn't use most of the moves.

However, his master Yi Jiang is a swordsman, so he can ask her for advice when she returns.

Yi Xue let out a breath, leaned back in her chair, and finished off the remaining rice in her bowl.

Ten consecutive draws yielded one Dragon Blood, a complete sword technique, and seven daily necessities. It's not a bad deal, but now I have to start accumulating favorability points from scratch, which is still a bit of a headache.

Perhaps it's because I've gotten used to it, but I can get less and less out of Senior Sister He'er through massages. And since my two masters are no longer in the mountains, there are no efficient ways to gain favor points.

Unless a new favor target can be bound, but it seems there is little hope at the moment. I have more or less contacted the disciples who stayed on the mountain, and none of them have been able to trigger the system prompt.

"Ok?"

Just then, he suddenly felt a gaze, not a casual glance, but a direct stare.

Looking back, the window at that spot was half-open, the chair was tilted to the side, the chopsticks had fallen to the ground, and the soup in the bowl was still steaming.

He went closer and looked. There were obvious signs of someone climbing over the window. Did they realize they had been discovered and escape?

Yi Xue frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. Someone was watching him, but why? She couldn't believe she hadn't done anything to attract attention recently.

Well, we also tried to choose training times when we wouldn't bump into anyone.

"Never mind, let's go back first..."

Thinking that she wouldn't be able to figure anything out by staring at the table, Yixue turned and left the dining hall.

Shortly after he left, a pair of white cat ears peeked out from behind the windowsill and twitched as if they had found a target.

At night, Yixue returned to her room, took out her pajamas from the closet, folded the clothes she would wear the next day on the bedside table, and then took the pajamas into the bathroom.

In the misty steam, Yi Xue took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror.

The figure in the mirror was still slender, but much stronger than when she first arrived, and upon closer inspection, one could even see some vague muscle lines.

This is the result of training...

He couldn't help but sigh. Just then, the water was ready, and he turned around, stepped onto the stairs, and soaked himself in the bathtub.

"Phew~ That feels so much better..."

As the hot water washed over her shoulders, Yi Xue let out a long breath.

He submerged himself completely, leaving only his neck and above exposed, with the back of his head resting on the edge of the tub, his eyes closed and motionless.

He's exhausted. Not a single day these past few days has been easy. The training schedule the system has given him is even more packed than the mock exams he took before the college entrance exam in his previous life.

Not only does she have to be chased and beaten by Yi Hai in the simulation space, but in reality she also has to run, practice swordsmanship, and cook medicinal meals. At night, she also has to give Senior Sister He'er a massage.

The muscles in my arms and legs ached again and again, and sometimes I would wake myself up in pain when I turned over in bed at night.

However, the progress is real. From being chased by one skeleton, he can now fight three head-on. He is becoming more and more proficient in using the Step of Auspiciousness. His blocking with the Lin Guang Fist is no longer about hard resistance, but about deflecting the force in the direction of the opponent's attack and then pushing it back.

Thinking of this, Yi Xue smiled. She was indeed tired, but it was quite fulfilling.

He reached for a towel on the shelf next to the tub, draped it over his forehead, and let the warmth of the hot water slowly seep into his skin.

As the steam rose, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his mind began to clear.

He stopped thinking about those worries and started thinking about what to practice first tomorrow, how the ingredients for the medicinal cuisine were almost used up and he needed to go to the back mountain to gather more, and how Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan should be back soon.

They've been gone down the mountain for several days now, and we don't know if it went smoothly or if they got hurt.

Just then, ripples appeared on the surface of the bathtub, not from him, but spreading outwards from behind him.

Yi Xue was slightly taken aback. Just as she was about to turn around, a pair of hands reached out from behind him and slowly wrapped around his neck.

"My dear disciple, have you missed your master?"

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Dragon Raises Its Head

"Master?"

Hearing the voice behind him, he was overjoyed, but also a little surprised that he hadn't noticed Yi Jiang approaching him from behind.

He already had very keen senses, and after systematic training, his perception became even stronger. Moreover, he had now received the amplification from the dragon's blood. Normally, he could tell whose footsteps were from several steps away, but this time he didn't hear any movement at all.

Yi Jiang gently rested her chin on the top of his head, her long, wet white hair falling down to his shoulders, her body carrying the unique scent of mountain mud and soil mixed with a faint smell of sweat.

But it didn't smell bad; on the contrary, it felt very refreshing. Yi Xue took a light sniff, and her face turned slightly red.

“…Master?” Yixue relaxed and leaned back. “When did you get back?”

"Just got back." Yi Jiang sniffed his hair, her voice a little tired, but mostly smiling. "I was thinking of taking a good shower first, but I didn't expect to see you in there as soon as I opened the door. Perfect, saves me the trouble of running the water again."

She spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her hands already untying the sash of her Taoist robe.

Yi Xue turned her head and, out of the corner of her eye, saw that she had taken off her outer robe, her snow-white hair falling over her shoulders, and she was only wearing a thin inner garment, which clung to her body after being dampened by the mist.

She looked a bit more haggard than before she came down the mountain. Her red eyes were still very bright, but there was a hint of weariness in them.

However, he seemed to be in pretty good spirits. At least when I saw him soaking in the bathtub after he came back, the smile that appeared on his face was brighter than usual.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Yi Jiang smiled slightly, reached behind her back and unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her fair shoulders. Now, she was completely exposed, generously displaying herself before him.

Yi Xue swallowed hard, looked away somewhat guiltily, and then changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, where is Master Yixuan? Didn't he come back with you, Master?"

"It seems she found some interesting information on this trip down the mountain. As soon as she got back up, she locked herself in her room to study it." Yi Jiang sighed softly, looking rather helpless. "Oh dear, my little sister is all grown up and I can't control her anymore. Our Xue'er is still the cutest."

She folded the last piece of clothing and placed it on the shelf, then stepped onto the wooden steps into the bathtub. The water level rose sharply, almost overflowing.

Two pink cherry blossoms at the mountain peak are being gently washed by the water, partially obscured, rising and falling slightly with her breath.

Seeing this, a surge of heat shot up from Yi Xue's lower abdomen to the top of her head, a feeling she had never experienced before. She immediately sensed something was wrong and realized that something bad was about to happen.

He glanced up at Yi Jiang, who seemed unaware of his strangeness. He then prepared to get up and slip away under the pretext of having finished washing. However, to his surprise, Yi Jiang opened her eyes at that moment, startling him so much that he sat back down in the water.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so nervous?"

Faced with Yi Jiang's question, Yi Xue stammered and came up with an excuse.

"It's nothing... Master, could you please knock before coming in next time?"

"Why are you knocking? It's not the first time. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it before. I'm not shy at all."

Yi Jiang chuckled softly, her crimson eyes appearing exceptionally gentle in the mist. Her tender gaze lingered on his face for a moment, as if examining something.

"I've lost weight," she said.

"...I haven't lost weight. Senior Sister He'er saves food for me every day."

Seemingly surprised by the other party's response, Yi Xue momentarily forgot her thoughts of escaping and replied after a moment of hesitation.

"That means you've been training too hard."

She reached out and gently squeezed his arm, as if touching a fragile piece of porcelain.

"He'er told me everything. She said you go out to train before dawn every morning and come back to sleep as soon as you get home at night. Sometimes you don't even have time to eat dinner. Xue'er, are you hiding something from your sister?"

After saying that, she pulled Yixue into her arms and examined her more carefully. She was surprised and felt a little sorry for her as she noticed that the other girl's small body had become quite strong.

Yi Xue felt a little itchy from being pinched, and tried to pull his arm away but didn't move. He looked down at the water, unsure of what to say.

He couldn't very well say, "Master, I'm preparing to face a future disaster." If he said that, she would either not believe him or would press him for an answer, and he wasn't prepared to answer either way.

"...I just want to become stronger, I want to help my masters..."

Yi Jiang looked at him for a while, her expression somewhat gratified, but she didn't ask any further questions. She simply reached out and tucked the stray hairs damp with moisture behind his ear, then gently rubbed the top of his head.

"Wanting to become stronger is a good thing, but don't push yourself too hard. Xue'er, you're still a child, it's time for you to play."

"I'm not a child anymore..."

"You're already acting like a little adult. Let's wait a few more years."

She smiled, then leaned back and stretched her body, the water rippling and slowly washing over her collarbone.

She closed her eyes and exhaled a long breath, as if she could finally release the fatigue she had accumulated over the past few days of coming down the mountain.

After a brief moment of silence, with only the gentle sloshing of water in her ears, Yi Xue remained silent for a moment before asking with some concern.

"Is your sister hurt?"

"It's just a minor injury. I treated it before I came back. It's nothing serious."

"You always say it's a minor injury."

“Because it’s always just minor injuries.” Yi Jiang opened one eye to look at him, a smile curving her lips. “What, worried about your sister?”

Yi Xue didn't say anything, so she took it as a yes. She reached out and pulled him over, letting him lean against her chest. She rested her chin on the top of his head and gently massaged his shoulders with her fingers.

Feeling the soft warmth pressed against her back, the heat intensified, and Yi Xue instinctively tried to escape, but Yi Jiang held her tightly in his arms.

"Don't move," she said. "Let your sister hold you for a while. I've been so busy these past few days since we came down the mountain that I haven't had a good night's sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I think about whether you've adjusted to life on the mountain."

He was unable to move like a pillow. Yi Jiang's body temperature was even higher than hot water. Her huge, soft body was pressed tightly against his back, and he could feel her heartbeat.

Her fingers slowly slid from his shoulder to his chest, then gently moved downwards, her touch light, as if pressing some acupoint, or perhaps just unconsciously caressing him.

His back was taut, and he was making faint groans, whether from pleasure or discomfort, his face was as red as a roasted suckling pig, and his rationality was rapidly slipping away, as if he was about to lose control at any moment.

Just then, Yi Jiang stopped, halting at the edge of danger, and did not continue exploring downwards.

She finally noticed something was wrong with her apprentice. His body temperature had been alarmingly high since earlier, as if it were about to burn her.

"Xue'er, you're so hot, have you been soaking in the water for too long...?"

But it was too late. The delicate sapling had grown into a towering tree, and the proudly raised dragon head pressed itself against her hand.

"Eh?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: A Vague Sense of Reason

"What...how did it get so swollen, and so hot? Xue'er, you..."

Although she already had a guess about what had happened, Yi Jiang still couldn't believe it. Xue'er was still a child... how could she be so... so big...

Yi Xue on the other side was also somewhat distraught. He was just a child, only five or six years old, and his body hadn't developed yet, so how could he possibly have a reaction?

Moreover, this didn't happen when I bathed with my two masters last time, so why did it have to happen this time...?

He subconsciously looked in that direction, and the dragon's head had already emerged from the water, as if it was about to spew out scorching dragon breath at any moment. The state of the entire part could only be described as ferocious. Not to mention a child, even an adult would hardly be able to do such a thing.

The mountains behind him were still pressing against his back. At this moment, his senses seemed to be magnified infinitely. He could smell that Yi Jiang's faint body fragrance had turned into an intoxicating incense. Every breath was provoking his nerves. Any touch could become the fuse for an explosion. Just maintaining his rationality was already a great struggle.

Yi Xue took a deep breath, pondering what had happened to cause this situation, what had caused the changes in his body, the changes in his body...

"...System, shouldn't you explain this to me?"

[Sorry, host, I forgot to remind you that while dragon blood will greatly enhance your physical functions, it will also cause a tiny, minor change to your body.]

"If there's anything else I haven't said, it'd better make it clear now."

[Host, I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, "Dragons are inherently lewd."]

Activating Dragon Blood will not only strengthen you, but also amplify your desires. Releasing these desires will activate Dragon Blood, granting you permanent enhancements, and those of the opposite sex who experience pleasure because of you will also receive a corresponding enhancement.
