My Disciple are all Dou God

"Why don't you come up and get it?" Seeing Yun Yun remain motionless for a long time, Gu He couldn't help but voice his confusion.

'Should I bring it down to her instead?'

With that thought, he asked directly, "Would you like me to bring it down for you?"

Yun Yun flinched, shrinking deeper into the water as she shook her head and whispered, "Go further away."

Gu He: "..."

"Alright." A flicker of disappointment flashed in Gu He's eyes, but he obediently returned to his previous spot, sitting with his back to the waterfall.

Then, he called out toward the cascading water, "I've moved away now. You can come up."

Hearing this, Yun Yun let out a soft sigh of relief. Her delicate figure slowly rose from the water, stepping quietly onto the shore.

Peeking cautiously, she confirmed that Gu He was indeed far from the bank before reaching out to pick up the purple robe he had left behind.

Soon, Yun Yun draped the oversized garment over herself. The robe hung loosely on her frame, revealing glimpses of her alluring collarbone and slender, snow-white thighs.

The lingering masculine scent of Gu He clung to the fabric, making Yun Yun's cheeks burn with embarrassment.

Never had she imagined that a man would be present while she bathed.

The memory of what had just transpired sent another wave of heat rushing to her face.

Glancing at Gu He, who sat obediently in the distance, she felt a sliver of reassurance.

'At least Gu He, despite his teasing nature, is a true gentleman. If he says he won't peek, he keeps his word.'

This realization deepened her fondness for him.

A pang of guilt struck her.

'All these years, such a good man has been by my side, silently devoted to me, yet I never noticed.'

'What a terrible oversight!'

After a moment of self-reproach, Yun Yun made a silent vow.

'From now on, I must treat Gu He better. I won't let his heart be hurt again.'

With that resolve, she gazed at his back, a tender warmth flickering in her eyes as she called out softly, "I'm done."

Gu He had, of course, been aware of her movements—his attention had never strayed far from the waterfall.

At her voice, he immediately stood and turned, his eyes sweeping over her before he smiled. "It's a bit big on you."

Feeling his gaze, Yun Yun instinctively tightened the robe, shielding the exposed skin.

Gu He averted his eyes and approached, opening his arms as before. With a light chuckle, he said, "Come. Now that you've bathed, it's time to return."

Yun Yun shot him a half-exasperated, half-shy glance before obediently stepping into his embrace.

Gu He grinned, tightening his hold around her slender waist. As he inhaled the delicate fragrance of her hair, his heart stirred faintly.

Under Yun Yun's urging, he tapped his foot against the ground, soaring into the sky with her in his arms.

The rushing wind tousled her hair, and the loose robe fluttered, offering Gu He another fleeting feast for his eyes.

A short while later, they landed before the cave. Reluctantly, Gu He released her.

"Thank you," Yun Yun murmured, her face still flushed as she hurried inside.

Gu He chuckled. "No need for thanks. I know women prefer cleanliness—I'll take you bathing again tomorrow."

Yun Yun stiffened, then quickened her pace without another word.

…

The Next Day

"Are you sure you're fully healed?"

"Don't you need a couple more days to recover?"

Inside the cave, Gu He studied Yun Yun, who still wore his oversized purple robe, and tried to persuade her.

Inwardly, he sighed. Once the seal was broken, she would leave.

Their time living together would come to an end.

The thought of parting after these blissful days left him unwilling.

Yun Yun shook her head. "There's no need to worry. I'm completely fine now. Gu He, just tell me how to quickly undo this seal."

A trace of disappointment flickered in Gu He's eyes before he sighed.

With a thought, he retrieved a jade vial from his storage ring—inside was the Amethyst Birth Essence.

Holding it up, Gu He explained, "This will unlock the Amethyst Seal within you."

The Amethyst Birth Essence originated from the body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, just as the Amethyst Seal was derived from the beast's power.

Since both shared the same source, consuming the essence would allow Yun Yun to temporarily assimilate its energy, neutralizing the seal.

Yun Yun's eyes widened in surprise. "What is this?"

Gu He smiled faintly. "Have you heard of the Amethyst Birth Essence?"

"Amethyst Birth Essence?!" For a moment, Yun Yun was stunned. Then, shock flashed across her beautiful eyes as she stared at the vial in disbelief.

"You mean… the legendary Amethyst Birth Essence is inside?"

Clearly, Yun Yun was familiar with its significance.

Gu He nodded. "Indeed. I obtained it from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave"

Yun Yun's heart raced.

She knew the Amethyst Winged Lion King was a beast of extraordinary talent—otherwise, it wouldn't have reached the sixth tier. When such a creature was born, there was a minuscule chance that alongside its offspring, an Amethyst Birth Essence would also form.

Having gestated within the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body for an extended period, the essence contained incredibly pure dou qi. If consumed by the cub upon reaching the fourth tier, it would immediately advance to the fifth tier.

Moreover, the cub's innate Amethyst Flame would far surpass that of others who lacked the essence.

Among hundreds of Amethyst Winged Lion Kings, scarcely one would produce this treasure.

Yet Gu He had somehow obtained it!

Beyond shock, Yun Yun was deeply moved.

She understood its immense value—yet Gu He had offered it to her without hesitation.

Yun Yun's gaze softened with emotion as an indescribable feeling took root in her heart.

'Gu He… How can I ever repay such kindness?'

[Gu He: By offering yourself to me of course.]

Unaware of her thoughts, Gu He handed her the vial. "Since you know its effects, take it. This will be enough to break the seal."

Yun Yun hesitated briefly before accepting it.
