My Disciple are all Dou God

Half a day later, the commotion in the cave gradually subsided.

Exhausted, the two fell into a deep slumber.

Another hour passed.

At this moment, wisps of purple dou qi slowly circulated within Yun Yun's body, replenishing the strength she had just expended.

After a long while, Yun Yun's delicate eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Upon regaining consciousness, the first thing she felt was an overwhelming fatigue coursing through her body.

As she sat up and glanced down at herself, her beautiful eyes widened in shock. Her face instantly paled.

Then, a single tear trickled from the corner of her eye.

"Why… why did this happen…?" Yun Yun hastily grabbed the white robe that Gu He had discarded nearby and wrapped it around herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Her mind was blank, unable to process the reality before her.

After a long silence, she turned her gaze to Gu He, who lay beside her. A complex emotion flickered in her eyes.

Though everything had happened unconsciously, the memories were seared deeply into her mind.

She knew in her heart that Gu He was not solely to blame.

'If I hadn't taken the initiative…'

'Gu He wouldn't have lost control…'

'This wouldn't have happened…'

Yet, even so, she couldn't bring herself to face the man who had taken her innocence.

Even if she harbored deep affection for him.

The memories of their earlier passion resurfaced, and a faint blush crept onto her pale cheeks.

'How shameful…'

'Gu He… how could he do this to me?'

Yun Yun's gaze lingered on Gu He's exhausted form, her emotions in turmoil.

She had thought that consuming the Amethyst Birth Essence would fully undo the seal in her body—never had she imagined it would cost her purity.

A bitter smile touched her lips. After a moment of hesitation, she forced her weary body to stand.

With one last glance at Gu He, Yun Yun left a note behind and slowly made her way out of the cave.

She couldn't accept what had just transpired between them.

She didn't know how she could possibly face him when he awoke.

'Should I hate him?'

Having her innocence taken by Gu He, she should have despised him.

Yet, Yun Yun realized she felt no hatred in her heart.

It was merely the cruel irony of fate—that this would happen during their time together in the cave.

Unbeknownst to her, she had fallen for Gu He.

With vacant eyes, she trudged forward, her body heavy with exhaustion. She wandered aimlessly, leaving the Magic Beast Mountain Range behind.

At this moment, all she wanted was to escape.

At least for now… she couldn't face him.

…

Half a Day Later

Gu He awoke leisurely.

The moment he awoke, he instinctively turned to his side.

When he saw the empty space beside him, panic surged through him. His eyes darted around the cave.

"Where is she?" Unable to find Yun Yun, Gu He felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

The memories of the previous night flashed through his mind, and shame colored his expression.

'In the end, I couldn't hold back… I succumbed to Yun Yun's embrace.'

'How could I do such a thing?'

'I'm nothing but a beast!'

Slap!

A sharp sound sounded through the cave as Gu He struck himself across the face, leaving a red mark on his handsome face.

After this moment of self-reproach, he dressed and prepared to search for Yun Yun.

But then, he noticed the note she had left behind.

"Don't look for me. Let me calm down for a while…"

Gu He fell into silence as he read those words.

After a long pause, he carefully tucked the note away.

From its contents, he couldn't discern Yun Yun's exact feelings.

But the fact that she had left him a note at all meant things weren't irreparable.

There was still hope for reconciliation.

At this thought, a faint smile touched his lips.

"Yun'er… since things truly happened between us, I will take responsibility. You are already mine, and you'll never escape my grasp."

His gaze then fell upon the dark blue inner armor Yun Yun had left behind.

Picking it up, he noticed the faint traces of her lingering fragrance.

His fingers brushed over the delicate cracks along its edges, and his eyes softened.

After storing the armor in his spatial ring, Gu He rose and stepped out of the cave.

He cherished the time he had spent with Yun Yun.

But now that she was gone, there was no reason for him to remain in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

His next destination was the Tagore Desert—home to the Green Lotus Heart Flame.

Along the way, he would also take Qing Lin as his disciple.

But before leaving, he intended to consume the Dou Ancestor Pill to further strengthen himself.

…

Moments later, Gu He arrived at the valley where he had previously broken through.

"Little Jin!"

At his call, a massive golden bird descended from the sky, landing gracefully beside him.

This was his contracted beast, Xiao Jin.

Gu He's expression turned slightly guilty.

Before leaving the valley last time, he had instructed Xiao Jin to wait here.

Yet, he had been so lost in Yun Yun's embrace that he had completely forgotten about his loyal companion.

"Master, why were you gone for so long? Xiao Jin missed you!" The giant bird's voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Ahem…" Gu He coughed awkwardly, unsure how to explain.

In the end, he simply took out two fifth-rank magic cores to appease Xiao Jin.

"Stand guard for me." After clearing a space, Gu He sat cross-legged and issued his command.

"Understood, Master!" Xiao Jin's youthful voice rang out before it transformed into a golden avian sentinel, standing vigil beside him.

With that, Gu He retrieved a jade vial from his system space.

Inside was the Dou Ancestor Pill—a seventh-grade medicinal pill.

He poured out a thumb-sized pill, its surface a mesmerizing blend of red and purple, swirling like a yin-yang fish. The pill seemed almost sentient, radiating a mystical aura.
