When asked by his disciple, Ji Yun pondered how best to explain.
"The outer realms are different from the celestial realms after ascension. This is a separate world, and your cultivation is still shallow enough to understand it."
Yuexi nodded.
"Master, do the people over there also have such short hair?"
Ji Yun touched his hair: "Disciple, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?"
"Hehe... I was just curious." Yuexi smiled awkwardly.
"My shoulders are sore, come and massage them for me."
Ji Yun looked straight ahead and made a bold request.
Yuexi's face turned bright red as she stared blankly at Ji Yun before lowering her head again.
"That... Master, you can't do that."
"What? Is it wrong for a disciple to be filial to his master?"
"this......"
Yuexi really couldn't figure out what went wrong. Logically speaking, a disciple massaging his master's shoulders is a step to improve the master-disciple relationship, but she always felt that this devilish master had ulterior motives towards her.
"I've lived for thousands of years, and I'm not interested in a little girl like you. What are you worried about? Also, your apprenticeship gift is just a shoulder massage."
Ji Yun shifted his body, turning his back to Yue Xi.
"Have I ever harmed you?"
"No, Master treats Yuexi very well, except for the occasional threats he makes..."
"Now I'm threatening you too. If you don't listen to me, I'll kill Li Wunian when she comes back."
Yuexi rushed over and placed her hands on Ji Yun's shoulders, but then pulled them back as if she had been electrocuted.
"Don't be nervous. Your master won't eat people. People say that the Blood Fiend Venerable kills without blinking an eye, but who are those people he killed? Has anyone ever said that?"
Yuexi thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. It was just that no one had said whether the Blood Fiend Venerable had killed good or bad people.
Ah, so comfortable! Ji Yun closed his eyes and enjoyed the fairy's massage. He felt that his life was complete.
"Master, could you please not treat Yuexi like this?"
Ji Yun was taken aback. Why would his disciple suddenly say such a thing? He pondered for a moment.
"Then I won't threaten you anymore, but could you massage my shoulders when you have some free time?"
Is this a transaction?
"No, you can refuse; that's your right."
"What will happen if we refuse?" Yuexi asked worriedly.
"It's nothing special. You have countless choices here."
Yuexi was still confused. How could she have a demonic master in such a short time? How could she have agreed to it?
Yuexi couldn't help but ask, "Why did Master accept me as his disciple?"
"Why do you ask this? Do you think I have ulterior motives and am planning to use you for something?"
"..." Yuexi fell silent after being enlightened; that was exactly what she thought.
"It seems that's really what you think. Here on your neck... rub this area gently... I'm just a mortal, don't use your cultivation, otherwise the master you finally gained will be gone."
"It would be better if it were gone..." Yuexi pouted softly.
Ji Yun was taken aback: "What did you say?"
"nothing."
"Don't overthink it. What could a nobody like you, a mere Golden Core cultivator, possibly do for me? Wouldn't your master find a sect leader? Someone with higher cultivation? Someone from a powerful sect?"
"Who knows..." Yuexi was a little unconvinced, thinking she was very clever.
"Then tell me, what can I do with you?"
"..." Yuexi suddenly couldn't figure it out. Was that really the case? He didn't use her?
Then Ji Yun continued, "Your talent isn't that great, and you're just an ordinary disciple in the sect. What can they possibly use you for? So, don't overthink it."
"Master, you wouldn't be lusting after Yuexi's beauty, would you? I'm telling you, even if it means my death..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Ji Yun turned around and looked at her. Holy crap! It's huge, it's blinding.
At this moment, Ji Yun was sitting down. Yue Xi took a step back, her cheeks slightly flushed, as she had almost bumped into him.
Ji Yun looked at her speechlessly and said, "Do you have a persecution complex?"
"What is paranoia?" Yuexi asked, listening to this strange question.
"It's just that you're always thinking someone wants to harm you."
"...Is there?"
"No? Why do you think so badly of your teacher?" Ji Yun was somewhat displeased.
How could this demonic master say such a thing? Aren't the demonic path practitioners known for their vile deeds? They kill without blinking an eye, attacking at the slightest provocation, extracting souls and refining spirits...
Seeing the somewhat nervous look on her disciple's face, Ji Yun immediately realized that her identity was causing her to overthink things.
"Stretch out your hand."
Looking at Ji Yun's serious expression, Yuexi fearfully stretched out a small hand.
"Smack!"
Ji Yun slapped Yuexi's small hand.
"You are not allowed to think of your teacher in such a negative way in the future."
"Okay." Yuexi withdrew her small hand and obediently agreed.
Yuexi felt something was off. After cultivating for so long, this was the first time she had been disciplined like this by her master, and even had her little hand slapped.
A whooshing sound came from afar. Yuexi and Jiyun turned around and saw that Li Wunian had returned.
Li Wunian held a bundle and handed it to Ji Yun.
"I bought five outfits, may I take a look and see if they're okay?"
Ji Yun opened the package and chose a white top and a dark-colored bottom to change into.
After changing his clothes, Ji Yun's demeanor instantly improved, making him look like a handsome young gentleman.
Yuexi was a little stunned; her master was quite handsome.
Ji Yun looked down at himself; it fit perfectly. He looked up and asked, "Disciple, how do I look in this?"
"...He looks a bit young, which suits Master's temperament very well," Yuexi said honestly.
Li Wunian also chimed in, saying, "It's perfect for you, senior!"
"Disciple, what do you mean by 'slightly young'? Do you think your master is very old?"
"......"
"......"
Yuexi was both amused and exasperated; how could her master be so childish?
But still wanting to avoid offending her master, she spoke again.
"Master is not old at all; he looks like a handsome and elegant young man."
Ji Yun said with satisfaction: "Yes, well said. If anyone asks, just say that your teacher is two years older than you."
"..." Yuexi was speechless.
"If my junior sister hadn't said so, I would have thought you were her younger brother, senior," Li Wunian said, very supportive.
Ji Yun pointed at Li Wunian: "Look how eloquent your senior sister is, learn from her."
"......"
Ji Yun handed the remaining packages to Yue Xi: "Put these away for me. Aren't you going back to the sect? Let's go."
"Alright, senior, I'll lead the way."
Li Wunian took off on his sword and waited in the air.
Yuexi also drew her sword, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Ji Yun.
"Disciple, wait a minute. Didn't I say that your master is now a mortal? You must take your master with you when you fly on your sword."
Yuexi really didn't want to expose him, so why is she still pretending to be an ordinary person?
