How do you cook a baby rabbit in warm water?

It's like this, step by step...

Li Qinghe's mind went blank; she could only suppress her trembling heart and nervously respond to the other party's request.

How many women with barren skin could withstand Ye Feng's relentless pursuit day after day?

For her sake, he refined elixirs day and night.

No matter what you teach him, he learns it diligently and picks it up in no time.

For her sake, a person with mixed spiritual roots of four elements advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining in three years with the help of elixirs.

......

She saw everything Ye Feng did.

My heart flutters... My heart aches...

But she could only endure it silently, unlike Ye Feng, who could say and do whatever he wanted.

She is at the Foundation Establishment stage, with a lifespan of 250 years. She is currently only 45 years old, and her future is expected to reach the Golden Core stage, extending her lifespan to 500 years.

But Ye Feng... the Qi Refining stage can only live for a short 120 years.

When he is old and frail, I will still look the same, without any change...

Am I going crazy?

That brat... he's still not stopping...

Its mouth felt like a furnace, constantly being swept away by the invading pills.

She seemed to have forgotten that she could resist; she simply closed her eyes and let herself be taken.

So this is what kissing feels like...

Gradually, Li Qinghe began to respond, launching a counterattack by applying what she had just learned.

Even her hand unconsciously rested on Ye Feng's shoulder.

A hand moved upwards from the waist...

no! !

Li Qinghe, like a rabbit suddenly caught, abruptly opened her eyes, unleashing a powerful aura that forced Ye Feng back.

He himself leaped into the air.

A pool of clear water surrounded her, and the bathrobe that had fallen behind the screen was easily caught in her hands...

"The promise has been fulfilled! From now on, I will cultivate diligently..."

Once Li Qinghe put on Ye's clothes again, he seemed to have transformed back into his master.

"Qinghe...."

Ye Feng wished he could tell her about his cultivation level right now, but reason made him stop himself from doing so.

"I will definitely achieve Foundation Establishment, I swear!"

Li Qinghe's back trembled slightly, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks without her realizing it.

"If...you can't do it, I...will hate you for the rest of my life."

"We'll do it! We'll definitely do it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's face lit up with ecstasy. He took a few steps forward and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

"Trust me, I will never leave you alone!"

Li Qinghe's voice was tinged with sobs.

"I also need the Golden Core..."

"No problem, even Nascent Soul stage is fine!"

"Pfft..."

Hearing this, Li Qinghe finally smiled.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to believe this bastard...

I will do my best to help him...

"Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

Li Qinghe struggled slightly, and Ye Feng released her.

His divine sense watched her return to her boudoir with a smile on her face before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma... she must get the cultivation technique as soon as possible.

If I were to reach the Nascent Soul stage now, I wouldn't need to be afraid of anything.

———

Cleaning technique!

Just like before, a stream of clear water spread from Ye Feng's feet to the top of his head.

Not only did they clean him up, but they also dried his wet hair completely.

Li Qinghe reverted to her previous attire, and while straightening Ye Feng's clothes, she said...

"Now that you've advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining, you'll also be participating in this year's competition... You can't be reckless then; the late stage of Qi Refining is not comparable to the mid-stage..."

"Don't worry! With my fire control skills, getting into the top ten is a piece of cake."

Watching the beautiful woman before him chatter away like a wife, Ye Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

"Smack!"

The hand was opened.

"You're itching for a beating, aren't you?"

Li Qinghe instantly reverted to her master's expression, turning back to continue tying his hair while speaking sternly.

"You think you're invincible? Those disciples who joined the Foreign Affairs Hall and the Enforcement Hall practice killing techniques every day... Let me tell you, if you don't admit defeat soon and get beaten up, I'll definitely deal with you when I get back!"

As he spoke, his hands paused for a moment, and his voice became barely audible.

"Only I can hit you, no one else is allowed to hit you..."

Ye Feng immediately felt a warm feeling envelop him.

Whether in his past life or this one, no woman has ever treated him like this before.

Let's not even talk about Ouyang Yan in this life; everyone looks out for themselves, or else they'll be punished by heaven and earth.

The women of my past life were never greedy for money.

At the very least, it depends on the workplace, birth, and education level.

But Li Qinghe before me was resolutely surrendering herself to the unknown future.

Just because of a promise I made...

"I promise you, if I can't beat you, I'll admit defeat right away!"

Go!

"Master, you're leaving for so long, how about we...?"

"....roll!!"

———

The annual competition has begun again.

Ye Feng, as an inner disciple who joined early, can directly enter the second round.

But Li Qinghe hasn't returned yet, so it seems he won't be coming to watch my match.

"Senior brother!"

"Junior Brother Ye!"

Yu Man, Zhang Xin, and the other senior female students walked over from behind.

We're here to cheer you on!

In the past three years, some people have left, some have been on missions elsewhere, and many have returned from elsewhere.

They also recruited five new female students.

"Go for it, senior!"

"No problem, I'll treat you all to a good meal once my senior brother gets his final ranking!"

Ye Feng looked at the group of junior sisters aged ten to fifteen and a smile appeared on his face. Currently, he was the only male disciple registered on Qingxue Peak.

So all his fellow female disciples liked him very much.

As for Senior Brother Xiao Junyan, he was merely a disciple of the sect, a former disciple of Qingxue Peak.

They've essentially become independent, receiving no support from the sect and unable to stay permanently on Qingxue Peak.

He, on the other hand, receives a monthly allowance of ten Qi Gathering Pills and fifty spirit stones.

Furthermore, reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining within the time limit allows one to apply for Foundation Establishment Pills for free, while Xiao Junyan has to exchange them for merit points...

Of course, there are many applicants, and it's hard to say how long the queue will be...

These fellow disciples usually take good care of my Dan Pavilion business, so treating them to a meal is nothing.

This year, a total of 432 inner disciples participated in the competition.

The number of menial disciples remained around three hundred.

It's not because the outer sect has a higher promotion rate, but because most disciples with good talent are directly admitted to the outer sect, saving them the trouble of doing menial tasks.

As for these disciples who did odd jobs, they were considered promising rogue cultivators. The sect viewed it as a good deed, and having so many people help with chores was a win-win situation.

Very few can rise from menial tasks to reach the inner sect competition.

Unless one has a good master like Ye Feng...

———

Outside of Luoyun Market,

Li Qinghe, her hair slightly disheveled, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and hid behind a large rock, using her concealment technique to hide herself completely.

'Those damned bastards! The signal has been sent. When the Luoshui Sect people arrive, we must kill them!'

'Today should be the big competition, I wonder if that brat listened to me...'

Thinking of Ye Feng, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on Li Qinghe's lips.

You've already obtained the Foundation Establishment Fruit; if you don't cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining, you'll be letting me down...

"Hehehe... So you were hiding here! Little wench, hand over your storage ring obediently, and we'll spare your life, how about that?"
