Chapter 149: I, Bai Qingling, Will No Longer Practice the Sword
"Alright! Stop! You speak well! But... you must not say more!"
Mu Xinyin quickly waved her hand to call for a stop.
She brushed a lock of long hair over her rosy cheeks, and couldn't help but murmur softly, "Ah, who knew you, boy, are... quite knowledgeable."
"Disciple has already said, the Gu Poison affecting Master happens to be recorded in my Gu Path classics."
The young man replied softly.
"Mhm, mhm, alright, it's not important anymore! This matter..."
Mu Xinyin bit her lip, "I have my own measures as your master! Don't worry about it, understood?"
But the young man shook his head, "Master, where have you been these ten days? And who would dare inflict such a vile Gu Poison on you? Disciple... wishes to seek justice for you!"
"Qingling, your concern makes me very happy, I did not rush back at all costs for nothing to see you first."
Mu Xinyin squeezed out a gentle and loving smile, reached out with a jade hand, and without hesitation pulled her disciple over to sit beside her:
"Your task right now is to cultivate well and practice swordsmanship. As for my affairs... I have my plans, understood?"
"Sorry Master, disciple cannot turn a blind eye."
The young Demon Lord shook his head, his face resolute, "Those who humiliate Master, I will make them pay a thousand-fold!"
"As for the Gu Poison in your body, Qingling will definitely..."
"You... what do you want to do?"
Mu Xinyin blushed and blurted out.
"Disciple will immerse himself twice as much in this 'Gu Path Secret Classics', to find a second remedy besides the method with a Dao partner..."
The young Demon Lord clenched his iron fists, his eyes as resolute as iron.
"Oh oh oh, you scared me to death as your master."
Mu Xinyin patted her chest, let out a long sigh, then elegantly crossed a beautiful leg, a smile reappearing at the corners of her mouth: "Alright, I accept your filial devotion, you go ahead and do it, anyway... hmm, although I cannot dispel this Gu Poison myself, suppressing it for several years poses no problems."
"Ah, this Love Gu Poison is a five-turn rank Immortal Gu, can it really be completely suppressed by human effort?"
The young man murmured to himself, his eyes still somewhat worried.
"Tch! Listen to your tone, it's like you hope your master dies from the poison!"
Mu Xinyin laughed and scolded, then added, "Alright, don't worry, the Gu Path is just a lower stream, if I can't even suppress such a third-rate poison Gu, how can I be your master, how can I be a Righteous Leader?"
"Boy, do you understand the value of a Tribulation Crosser?"
"I understand! Disciple will definitely work hard with Master! To eradicate this hateful Gu Poison completely!"
The young man bowed with a serious face, a few childish features on his handsome face showing a man's dominance.
"Hahaha, now that's my good disciple Mu Xinyin!"
"That old woman, if she knew I accepted such an obedient and capable disciple, would be so jealous her Divine Soul would split! Hahaha!"
Mu Xinyin was overjoyed, her face breaking into a full smile.
"Master, she... that woman, will she come out again?"
Upon hearing his master mention that fierce Dao Sect Mysterious Lady, the young man's brow furrowed, asking nervously.
"Rest assured, once I've suppressed her, she'll fall into a sleep that lasts anywhere from a few years to a century, unless..."
Mu Xinyin's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Unless what?"
"Unless my physical body is severely injured, awakening her and letting her take advantage." Mu Xinyin said with deep eyes.
"I see."
The young man also grew serious, thinking for a moment, then asked, "So, Master, can you now tell me where you went these ten days? And with whom you fought?"
"You really want to know that much?"
Mu Xinyin raised an eyebrow, asking.
"Yes."
The young man earnestly said, "With Master's sudden departure for ten days, disciple couldn't eat or drink, constantly worrying whether Master encountered any danger."
"Moreover, each time the 'Yimu Heart' you replaced for me throbbed, the longing grew even stronger."
By the end, the young man's eyes were reddening.
"Alright, no sulking! Show the defiant demeanor of your previous Innate Demonic Seed! Didn't your master return safely?"
Mu Xinyin gently held her disciple's hand.
Seeing his expression growing more sorrowful, she quickly used a gentle tone to comfort, "I truly believe in your devotion. In fact, as I stepped into this cave, seeing it cleaned and set up just like a month ago when we first moved in, unchanged, made me inexplicably happy."
"Because I know, no matter where my Divine Soul roams someday, there in the world, is a good disciple... always keeping me in mind."
"Come, child, let me take a good look at you, make up for the lost ten days, alright?"
Mu Xinyin gently stroked the young man's coiffed hair, her eyes full of love, in that deep moment of affection, she directly pulled him into her embrace!
"Master, no... you can't do this."
Swept into his master's warm embrace, the young man felt intoxicated, and in the next second, he sprang away from her embrace as if awakened.
"What's wrong?"
Watching her disciple move away in excitement, Mu Xinyin opened her beautiful eyes wide, somewhat puzzled, saying, "As your master, I haven't seen you in a while, what's wrong with being close and talking?"
