After the yandere fairies were reborn, they all wanted to possess me!

Su Chen remained silent.

He was tempted.

Really.

The Sacred Fruit of Creation... was extremely important to him.

Although he now has a system (which hasn't been activated in a long time) and resources given by Ling Qianxue... his cultivation speed is not slow.

However, one's spiritual root aptitude determines their upper limit.

The maximum level for an innate ice spirit root is the Nascent Soul stage.

To reach the Divine Transformation stage, or even higher... one must improve their spiritual root aptitude!

"But... in three years, this disciple may not be able to grow to that level..." Su Chen still had concerns.

"It's alright~, I'll help you." Chu Hongxiu said directly, "Resources, cultivation techniques, guidance... whatever you want, I have it."

She looked at Su Chen, a complex emotion flashing in her peach blossom eyes: "Uncle-Master, I... I rarely treat people this well~"

Su Chen: "..."

He didn't know how to respond.

What's wrong with this woman?

Just because you "like" him?

Bullshit!

There must be another purpose behind it!

Can……

The allure of the Sacred Fruit of Creation... is simply too great.

So big... he's willing to take some risks.

Cultivating immortality! Cultivating immortality without taking risks, just a pathetic little immortal!

"Master Uncle... what does this disciple need to do?" Su Chen asked.

There is no free lunch in the world.

Chu Hongxiu has put in so much effort... she must have some expectations.

"Clever~" Chu Hongxiu laughed, a laugh like... a fox that had stolen a chicken. "Master's request is very simple~"

She held up three fingers.

"First, for the past three years... I've come to Hongxiu Garden at least three times a month to accompany my senior master... in his 'cultivation'~"

Su Chen: "...How do I cultivate?"

"Dual cultivation, huh?" Chu Hongxiu blinked, her tone...as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Su Chen: "..."

He knows it!

"this……"

"Don't worry~, my senior's skills are excellent~"

"Secondly," Chu Hongxiu continued, "In the Northern Region Prodigy Tournament, you must get into the top three to enter the secret realm and obtain two Creation Sacred Fruits."

"Third~"

She paused, her eyes... becoming deep.

"After you obtain the Sacred Fruit of Creation... you must promise your master a thing."

"What is it?" Su Chen asked.

"I can't tell you now~" Chu Hongxiu kept everyone in suspense, "When the time comes... my senior uncle will naturally tell you."

Su Chen frowned.

This third condition... is too vague.

"Don't worry~" Chu Hongxiu seemed to see his concerns, "Your senior uncle won't harm you~ That matter... will only benefit you, not harm you~"

Su Chen remained silent for a long time.

finally……

He nodded.

"it is good."

"This disciple agrees."

Take a gamble!

For the sacred fruit of creation!

In order to... become stronger!

Damn it, we're going to have to use a huge ox to pull a huge cart!

"That's more like it~" Chu Hongxiu smiled brightly, stood up, walked to Su Chen's side, and reached out... to rub his hair.

"From today onwards... you're your master's 'little apprentice'~"

"Although on the surface... you're still Junior Sister Ling's disciple~"

"But in private... your senior master will take good care of you~"

As she spoke, her fingers... slid from Su Chen's hair down to his earlobe, and then to his neck...

The movements were very gentle.

Very alluring.

That's all for today~

"Go back to Snow Moon Peak first~ Remember... come at least three times a month~ otherwise your senior uncle will be angry~"

After speaking, Chu Hongxiu licked her hand, seemingly in a good mood.

Su Chen: "Uh...yes."

He stood up and fled from Hongxiu Garden as if escaping.

Until we were far away from the courtyard...

He could still feel the burning gaze on his back.

Chu Hongxiu...

This woman...

That's amazing!

……

Inside the Red Sleeve Garden.

Chu Hongxiu stood in the courtyard, watching Su Chen's departing figure, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

"Little guy..."

She murmured softly.

"this time……"

"Your senior master won't... let you get away again~"

She turned and went back inside.

She sat down at the dressing table and looked at her face in the bronze mirror... a face of captivating beauty.

then……

She reached out and gently... stroked her lower abdomen.

His gaze... softened.

"This time..."

"I must...get pregnant with your child..."

"With our blood..."

"I want to... tie you to my side forever..."

……

Snow Moon Peak.

When Su Chen returned, it was already late afternoon.

We just passed through the outer formation...

Ling Qianxue's figure appeared in front of him.

She stood at the entrance of the Ice Palace, dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, her silver hair as white as snow, her bare feet on the ice.

Azure eyes... were staring coldly at him.

"Where did they all go?" she asked.

The tone...it was impossible to discern any emotion.

But Su Chen could feel... the surrounding temperature had dropped again.

"I went to the General Affairs Hall to collect my allowance," Su Chen answered honestly.

"Then what."

"...I wandered around the sect."

"Have you been shopping until now?"

"Uh... I ran into Senior Uncle Chu and we chatted for a while."

Ling Qianxue's eyes turned cold.

"Chu Hongxiu?"

"Yes……"

"What does she want from you?"

"Tell me... about the Northern Region Prodigies Tournament."

Su Chen briefly explained Chu Hongxiu's suggestion.

Of course, "dual cultivation" and the third condition were omitted.

Ling Qianxue remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

then……

She reached out and grabbed Su Chen's wrist.

Powerful.

"You're not allowed to go." She stared at Su Chen, enunciating each word clearly, "The Northern Region Prodigy Tournament... you're not allowed to participate."

Su Chen was taken aback.

Why?

"There's no reason," Ling Qianxue said firmly. "If I say no, then no."

Su Chen frowned.

For the first time... he showed resistance in front of Ling Qianxue.

"Master...this disciple wants to become stronger."

"I can help you become stronger."

"A sacred fruit that can create..."

"I will help you find other ways to improve your spiritual roots," Ling Qianxue interrupted him, "but the Northern Region Prodigy Tournament... is too dangerous. You are not allowed to go."

Su Chen opened his mouth, wanting to refute.

But looking at Ling Qianxue's eyes... which were almost frozen...

He ultimately swallowed his words.

Cough cough cough, I feel like if I argue any further, I might not be able to get down the mountain!

That's why he wants to improve his cultivation level!

"Yes..." He lowered his head.

Ling Qianxue released her grip.

then……

She suddenly pulled Su Chen into her arms again.

Hold him tight.

"Chen'er..."

She buried her face in his shoulder, her voice... muffled.

"Don't leave your master..."

"Don't go...to such a dangerous place..."

"As your teacher... I'm worried..."

Su Chen could sense it...

Ling Qianxue's shoulders were trembling slightly.

Is she...afraid?

Are you afraid something will happen to him?

Or am I afraid... he'll leave?

No?

You're making me a little scared too!

You have such a yandere vibe!

Su Chen knew what to do, and immediately raised his hand and gently patted her back:

"Master...this disciple...will not leave."

Well, at least... not now.

Ling Qianxue hugged her even tighter.

It was as if they wanted to... knead him into their very bones.

for a long time.

She finally relaxed.

then……

She turned and walked towards the Ice Palace.

"Tonight... I'll continue practicing my sword."

The voice... had returned to its usual cool and aloof tone.

It was as if the vulnerable and uneasy Ling Qianxue from just now... had never existed.

Su Chen watched her retreating figure... his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Yandere? Possessive? But... she doesn't seem that yandere?

At least it seems like I haven't hurt him...

They were all easily comforted with a hug...

Like a little kid...

I don't understand.

I don't understand at all.

He sighed and followed.

Qingyun Sect, Sect Leader's Hall.

A middle-aged man dressed in a purple Taoist robe with a dignified face sat in the main seat, looking at a piece of intelligence in his hand.

The leader of the Qingyun Sect—Yun Qingzi.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

He put down the intelligence report and rubbed his temples.

"Snow Moon Peak is accepting disciples... Chu Hongxiu also got involved..."

"What exactly are these two women trying to do?"

"Just an average guy..."

He looked down.

An elder, dressed in a blue Taoist robe and with a refined appearance, stood bowing.

"Sect Leader, Elder Ling and Elder Chu... seem to be paying special attention to that young man named Su Chen," the elder said in a low voice. "Should we... investigate this boy's background?"

Yun Qingzi remained silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"No need."

"Ling Qianxue and Chu Hongxiu... are neither easy to deal with. The people they've set their sights on... must have something special about them."

He paused, then added, "But... keep an eye on him. Don't let that kid... cause too much trouble within the sect."

"Yes," the elder replied and withdrew.

Inside the main hall, only Yun Qingzi remained.

He looked out the window and sighed.

"These are turbulent times..."

"Why is it so difficult to be a sect leader?"
