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

Yi Xue paused for a moment before answering, but judging from Yi Xuan's expression, this didn't seem to be the answer she wanted to hear. After organizing her thoughts for a while, she directly stated the conclusion she had drawn.

"Master didn't mean anything by it... Master just feels that you treat me differently from how you treat my sister and Senior Sister He'er. Is it because Master did something wrong to make you dislike me? I also want to be closer to you, Xue'er..."

At this point, Yi Xuan stopped, her lips trembling slightly as she began to stutter. She also felt that it would be easier to resolve the issue by stating it clearly, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say the word "intimate."

What's wrong with her? How could she say such things to a child? He definitely wouldn't understand, and he'd probably think I'm being strange.

Seeing that Yi Xue remained silent for a long time, Yi Xuan couldn't help but wonder to herself, how did her sisters manage to be so close to Xue'er...?

Yi Xue scratched her head. She realized that she hadn't really paid attention to getting along well with Master Yi Xuan. Compared to what she had done to Yi Jiang and the others, she had never had those kinds of thoughts about Yi Xuan.

Perhaps it's because they don't usually interact much. Aside from a few meetings during the initial magic teaching classes, recalling the moments when he had intimate relationships with Master Yi Jiang and the others, it seemed like they were always the ones who initiated things, and then things just spiraled out of control. Thinking about it carefully… he realized he'd never actually taken the initiative.

However, it was impossible for him to dislike Yi Xuan. Not to mention that Yi Xuan and Yi Jiang had taken him in together, he could also see from their interactions over the past few days that Yi Xuan was a good person that was hard to dislike. Moreover, when he watched the trailer for Wei Feidi in his previous life, Yi Xuan was his favorite character.

So... yes, he actually really likes Yi Xuan. As for why he made her feel like he disliked her, it can only be attributed to various circumstances. But it doesn't seem too late to make amends now.

"Master..."

Yi Xue walked up to Yi Xuan and gently placed his hand on her fair and delicate palm. He looked into her eyes and said with a serious expression.

"I don't dislike Master Yixuan."

"Really?"

Yi Xuan seemed somewhat disbelieving upon hearing this, and seeing this, she decided to explain things more clearly.

"Really, not disliking means liking, and I really like Master Yixuan."

"like……"

Yi Xuan read the two words repeatedly, and the first time she read them, her whole face turned red, from her cheeks all the way to her ears and then to her neck, with even a small patch of skin above her collarbone turning pink.

"Xue'er... likes me?"

For some reason, the answer she most wanted to hear left her feeling completely at a loss.

"What should I do? Xue'er said he likes me, but we're master and disciple, and that's not allowed between master and disciple..."

"But my sister has already done that with Xue'er, so it shouldn't be considered a violation if I go a little too far..."

"No, no, Yi Xuan, you are the master, how could you have such thoughts!"

"But... Xue'er has already said he likes me, won't it hurt his feelings if I just reject him like this..."

Thus, due to a casual remark by Yi Xue, Yi Xuan was plunged into a fierce internal struggle.

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ascension of All Arts

"Um... Xue'er, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?"

After calming down, Yi Xuan looked at Yi Xue, who was tidying her clothes and preparing to go out, and asked her a question.

"Would Master Yixuan like to join the training?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little white dog on his shoulder gently patted the back of his head with its tail, then showed a very disapproving expression.

Seeing this, Yi Xue smiled awkwardly and gently scratched her ear. Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Xiao Bai turned her face to the side in a huff, leaving only her tail wagging unwillingly.

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted to see how you train."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xuan realized that she seemed to know very little about Yi Xue's life. Logically speaking, as a master, caring about all aspects of her disciple's life should be the most basic thing, but she had been neglecting it all along.

But it's never too late to start making changes!

Yi Xuan gently patted her cheeks, cheering herself on in her heart. From today onwards, she would become a caring mentor to her disciples, and also a kind and understanding older sister in Xue'er's eyes. Although it might be difficult to balance both, she was determined to do it.

Having prepared herself mentally, Yi Xuan followed Yi Xue out the door.

The young girl harbored extraordinary ambitions, but she had no idea what awaited her next...

Soon, the two arrived at the secluded open space behind the mountain. Since they had spent a lot of time in the morning, Yi Xue decided to skip the morning run and start practicing swordsmanship directly.

Yi Xue walked to the center of the open space and hung the prepared scabbard on her waist. The scabbard was entirely red, but unlike the bright red of the scabbard, it was a deeper dark red. In the center of the scabbard was a groove that resembled an energy bar, and the lowest part of the groove was lit up with a bright red light.

This scabbard was specially crafted by the system. It can suppress Crimson Scale's violent temper under normal circumstances. In addition, combined with the analysis of his own ether energy, the scabbard can store the ether energy emitted by Crimson Scale and convert it into a means of attack.

However, the storage progress seems to be unusually slow; only a small amount has been stored since the scabbard was completed.

Yi Xuan watched with great interest. When little Yi Xue took out a small sword, she found it inexplicably cute, especially when she saw the other girl strike a pose as if she was about to draw her sword.

However, she doesn't know much about swordsmanship, at least not as much as Yoona. Physical skills and magic are her areas of expertise, so it seems that she can only observe while the other person practices swordsmanship.

"call……"

Yi Xue took a deep breath, gently placed her left hand on the specially made scabbard at her waist, slightly separated her legs, bent her knees, and her aura instantly became sharp.

Upon seeing this scene, Yi Xuan's expression changed slightly, and she blinked in disbelief. Just now... she seemed to have seen something on Xue'er's body. The next second, Yi Xue suddenly drew her sword, and the sharp short blade drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Then, he began to fight his imagined enemy, each move sharp, precise and deadly, the continuous slashes weaving an impenetrable net of swords, his sword even faster than during his previous training.

Soon, the first round of sword training ended. Yi Xue weighed Chi Lin in his hand, then performed a cool sword flourish before sheathing the sword. Although it was much shorter than his usual wooden sword, this short blade was quite heavy. The round of practice he had just completed was at least twice as tiring as usual.

However, this was exactly the pressure he needed. A few seconds later, Yi Xue drew her sword again and began the second round of practice.

This time, he swung his sword even faster than before, and the transitions between his sword moves even created afterimages, as if the previous practice was just a warm-up and this was the main event. However, Yi Xue gave the impression that he was far from reaching his limit.

Yi Xuan, standing to the side, was stunned. The way Yi Xue held the sword, the way he swung it, and the aura he exuded all made him seem like a seasoned swordsman, not a child.

Moreover, that's not all. She had just used her perception technique to check, and it seemed that Yi Xue's sword intent had already begun to take shape. It was the ethereal energy that was currently swirling around him, which, although it didn't seem to have taken shape yet, was already very dense. It gave the impression that his swordsmanship had reached a threshold, but he still needed to take the final step to break through.

Yoona and her sister did say that Xue'er's swordsmanship talent was amazing, but they didn't expect it to have reached this level.

While Yi Xuan was still in shock, Yi Xue had finished his practice. He calmed his somewhat disordered breathing and slowly sheathed his sword.

His sword-drawing technique was already quite perfect, even exquisite, but he had yet to proceed to the next stage of training: the Tearful Edge technique.

Just as Yi Xuan thought, what Xi lacked was precisely that final opportunity.

The Crimson Sky Sword Technique is a sword of will. Apart from the first move, which involves drawing the sword, all the subsequent moves are more or less related to one's state of mind. As the first part of the sword technique says, "If you want to wield this sword, you must not only have a sword in your hand, but also a sword in your heart."

What he lacks is perhaps that "sword" in his heart.

Yi Xue sighed, then slowly walked to the big tree behind him and sat down. Seeing this, Yi Xuan handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, then took the handkerchief and wiped the water droplets from his forehead and chin.

The handkerchief smelled nice, carrying Yi Xuan's scent, but he didn't show any covetousness. Instead, he returned the handkerchief to Yi Xuan directly, because he didn't want to be seen as a pervert.

Yi Xuan stared blankly at the handkerchief he had just used to wipe his sweat. After thinking for a while, he carefully folded it and put it away.

Next... Yi Xue planned to continue practicing magic. Logically, she should be fighting in the system's simulated space right now, but Yi Xuan was right beside her, so she couldn't just let him stand there and stare blankly at her.

Moreover, in order to successfully use the Xuanmo magic in the future, one must demonstrate one's expertise in magic, and Yi Xuan happens to be an expert in this field.

Just as I was thinking this, a system notification suddenly rang in my ears.

[Previously, sensing the host's awareness, the system granted the host one opportunity to draw a reward; that reward will now be delayed.]

Yi Xue was taken aback when he heard this. The system hadn't mentioned it before. Could it be because he was shy? But rewards are always welcome, and he was more curious about what this special reward was.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill "Ascension of All Arts"]

[Ascension of Myriad Arts: Possessing this skill greatly enhances proficiency and mastery of magical abilities, correspondingly increasing spell power and effectiveness. Furthermore, the user of this skill gains the extraordinary ability to dismantle, modify, and create spells.]

Chapter Seventy-Six: Perception Technique? X-ray Vision!

The moment the system notification sounded, a gentle yet powerful force spread from the center of his consciousness to his limbs and bones. The magical knowledge that he had previously found somewhat obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became clear.

"This is truly a timely help..."

After closing the system pop-up window, Yi Xue couldn't help but jokingly think to himself that rather than being randomly selected, this felt more like a skill that the system had specially prepared for him.

As expected of a system, it always understands what I need.

Yi Xue smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Yi Xuan beside her, and decided to test the effect of her newly acquired skill.

"Master Yixuan, may I ask you to teach me magic next?"

"Sure, but before I teach you anything new, I need to test what you've learned so far."

Yi Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement. He watched Xue'er practice her sword for so long, and now it was finally her turn to practice her specialty.

After saying that, Yi Xuan slightly raised her hand, and a ball of jet-black, gilded ether gradually gathered in her fair palm. The ball of ether kept changing in her palm, first turning into a bird, and then constantly changing into many different shapes.

"Xue'er, did you see it clearly? Next, Master wants you to name the patterns I just conjured in order. Can you do that?"

The first thing to be tested is the level of Yi Xue's perception technique. For a genius like Xue'er who is born with a spiritual body, it is easy to perceive the ether. However, the most important thing in practicing perception technique is not only excellent ether perception, but also a firm focus.

The art of perception can grant practitioners the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood and see through illusions. To achieve this, the user must maintain unwavering focus; otherwise, sudden disturbances can easily cloud their perception.

Especially in the ever-changing void, a moment of disorientation can lead to extremely tragic consequences.

However, to Yi Xuan's surprise, Yi Xue answered all the questions correctly with just one glance, and even the order of the two questions was perfect. She had originally been thinking about whether to slow down and do it again, but now it seemed unnecessary.

After that, she took many related tests. With the blessing of the Myriad Arts Ascension, Yi Xue passed them with ease. While marveling at Yi Xue's talent, Yi Xuan couldn't help but recall the arduous years when he studied magic with his sister.

Back then, she often dozed off during her master's lectures...

What? This is completely different from Xue'er. You shouldn't be thinking about these kinds of memories at a time like this!

Yi Xuan shook his head violently to banish the embarrassing memory from his mind, then cleared his throat and continued speaking.

"Ahem, Xue'er, you've already mastered the Sensing Technique. Today, I'll teach you how to control the Aether while also changing its form, just like I demonstrated for you earlier."

As he spoke, Yi Xuan gathered ether in his palm again, then transformed the ether into a lively bird. However, the process was slowed down infinitely, as if to allow him to see every detail clearly.

Yi Xue, being quite astute, kept her perception spell active, carefully observing the flow of ether on Yi Xuan's body. Upon noticing his actions, Yi Xuan smiled slightly, thinking, "He's truly a teachable child; he doesn't even need me to remind him."

Xue'er will definitely become very outstanding in the future... Just thinking about this made Yi Xuan very happy. However, she couldn't tell whether she was happy because she had an outstanding disciple or simply because Yi Xue was outstanding.

But it doesn't matter. Even if Xue'er isn't particularly gifted, I'll still teach him properly.

Before she knew it, Yi Xuan had already made up her mind.

On the other hand, Yi Xue's condition did not seem so optimistic. A slight blush appeared on his face, and his breathing was more rapid than before, as if he were watching some exciting scene.

Seemingly due to the amplification ability of the Ascension of Myriad Arts, his perception skills can now not only see the aether, but also some things that others cannot see.

For example, at this moment, Yi Xuan saw that the Taoist robe on the other party's body was gradually becoming transparent, revealing the snow-white skin underneath, which was as white as mutton fat jade. Only the waves in front of her body, which were tightly covered by the fabric, remained in the familiar pink color. But at this moment, Yi Xue could no longer care about teasing her about being cute.

If... just a little more attention, just a tiny bit more attention, it seems even the excess fabric can be penetrated.

Sure enough, the last obstacle disappeared before his eyes with his efforts. Full, white, and very pink, it was like a cream cake decorated with strawberries. However, since the bra did not actually disappear, it was not as bouncy as he had imagined.

No, I can't watch anymore, someone will die if I keep watching.

Yi Xue suppressed the agitation in his heart, recalling how Yi Xuan had manipulated the ether earlier. He raised his hand, and a ball of pale golden ether gathered in his palm.

Halo.

The halo was initially very unstable, its edges constantly scattering fragments of light like a candle flame blown about by the wind, as if it were being disturbed by something, just like his current state of mind.

Yi Xuan watched for a while, then shook her head with a light laugh. She then walked over and sat down beside him, gently placing her soft, delicate hand on the back of his hand.

"Take a deep breath, relax, feel the ether in your palm, and then imagine it in concrete form. Don't think about anything else, just focus on maintaining the form of the ether."

Yi Xuan explained in a soft voice, her warm breath gently patting his ear as she spoke. The ear is always the most sensitive place for both men and women, especially for Yi Xue at this moment. Yi Xuan's simple words were enough to make him shiver, but he quickly regained his composure and then followed Yi Xuan's instructions to control the ether in his palm.

"Yes, that's it, then stay calm."

Yi Xuan's hand was a size larger than his, and when she covered it, it almost completely enveloped his hand. She gently pinched his thumb and bent it outward a little, then spread out his other fingers one by one, arranging them into a more relaxed hand gesture. Her movements were very gentle, as if she were handling a fragile piece of porcelain.

As she did this, her voluptuous breasts would occasionally brush against his arm, the warm, soft touch seeping through the fabric, making him uneasy once again.

What was originally just a simple instruction on magic techniques turned into Yi Xuan's frantic testing of his Dao heart due to Yi Xue's unintentional actions.

He regrets it now, he regrets it so much. Why did he have to test the limits of his perception technique when he had nothing better to do?

Her gaze inadvertently drifted to the enormous pair of breasts beside her, but Yi Xue quickly looked away and then swallowed hard without making a sound.

Form is emptiness... emptiness is form... form is emptiness... emptiness is form...

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Creation Spell... Failure?

"call……"

Yi Xue took a deep breath, and the ether in her palm slowly gathered, gradually transforming from a flickering mist into a small, solid ball of light.

The surface of the sphere of light no longer produced the kind of fluctuations that seemed about to break apart, but instead began to pulsate slightly and rhythmically, as if it were breathing.

As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind. After turning off the perception spell, I can no longer see the evil that is obscuring my vision, and as a result, I can naturally calm down. However, the faint touch is still hard to ignore...

"Hmm... I didn't look this big last time I saw her. Do girls this age all develop this quickly?"

While keeping the ball stable in her palm, Yi Xue couldn't help but mutter to herself, and then secretly glanced at Yi Xuan beside her.

The other person was looking at her with a gentle expression and a happy smile. She didn't know what Yi Xue was thinking. She only knew that because her student had done a better job of teaching her than before, the pride of being a teacher made her feel a surge of joy.
