He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

"Master, the bathwater is ready~"

"I've placed your undergarment, skirt, and other personal clothing on the stone platform."

Inside the majestic palace, red candles flickered, steam rose, and silk curtains swayed gently.

An elderly man with white hair and a hunched back slowly prepared the bathwater, glanced at the beautiful figure outside the bed curtains, then rubbed his already dim old eyes, and glanced again, then again, then again...

Even with the fine gauze curtains covering her, the flickering red candlelight still revealed her shapely figure, with its exquisite curves and alluring curves.

Lu Changsheng can say with authority and responsibility that this woman has a perfect figure, with ample curves in all the right places. She is a rare beauty with a stunning figure.

Especially those long, straight, slender, fair, and smooth legs...

Like the cold moon reflected in the water, she swayed gracefully in her light red dress, each step blossoming like a flower.

Every step she took seemed to ignite the passion in the air, making one's heart flutter and unable to look away.

As the woman swayed gently with her lotus-like steps, the sense of distance was constantly reduced, and the visual impact brought by her curvaceous figure became even more obvious.

Just as Lu Changsheng was completely absorbed in watching, a slender hand lifted a corner of the curtain in front of him and walked in.

"Ahem! Ahem! If there's nothing else, Changsheng will... take his leave now~"

Realizing what had happened, Lu Changsheng was startled and quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands in a salute, and tried to cover up his embarrassment.

He's over eighty years old and doesn't want to be seen as indecent or disrespectful.

Especially since this person was his master, one of the six palace masters of Shangyun Heavenly Palace, a terrifying Spirit King level ten powerhouse.

You should know that in the Xuanhuang Great World, cultivation is divided into ten realms, and each realm is further divided into ten heavens.

They are:

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation.

Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Great Sage, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor.

Ji Jiufeng cultivated for only a few decades and had already reached the peak of the Spirit King realm, only one step away from the legendary Spirit Emperor.

Such talent is rare in this world.

Almost demonic!

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to offer your teacher a bath, massage, spa treatment, and the whole 'all-in-one' service?"

Ji Jiufeng wore a long red dress that trailed on the ground, her long hair was tied up high, and the pearls on her phoenix crown swayed, making her face shine like the cold moon.

Especially his eyebrows and eyes, long and slender like knives, with the tail of his eyebrows slightly raised when he spoke, as if he were looking down on all living beings.

But who would have thought that such a beautiful woman, as pure and aloof as a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, would say something like "massage and SPA all in one go"?

Her words were also filled with a strange mix of shyness and provocation.

Even Lu Changsheng, who was over eighty years old, blushed and stood there dumbfounded for a moment.

How many years have I been begging for this?

My master finally agreed to give me a bath, massage, spa treatment, and everything else...

But after Lu Changsheng wiped away the hot tears from the corners of his eyes, he took two steps back and respectfully bowed to Ji Jiufeng.

"Master, please don't joke around. Your disciple will leave right away and promises not to peek at you while you're bathing!"

Such trivial skills, how dare you show off your limited abilities in front of an eighty-year-old man like him!

Lu Changsheng has eaten more salt than his master Ji Jiufeng has eaten rice.

Lu Changsheng has crossed more bridges than his master Ji Jiufeng has walked roads.

It must be a test of himself!

"You should know that I am not a person who likes to joke."

After interrupting Lu Changsheng, Ji Jiufeng began to remove her red dress. With graceful steps, she walked into the steamy bath.

Isn't this a test of oneself?

Lu Changsheng was stunned and immediately looked up, but Ji Jiufeng had already entered the water, leaving only her fair and slender swan neck and waterfall-like long hair.

Snapped!

Lu Changsheng wanted to slap himself. He had waited for sixty or seventy years, and now that the opportunity had come, he was useless!

To minimize the damage, Lu Changsheng lowered his gaze, trying to catch a glimpse through the rippling water...

Snapped!

Lu Changsheng wished he could slap himself again. Why did he have to be so clever and scatter so many rose petals when he was just going to run the bath?

Now I can't see anything at all. I'm so old, what's the point of being romantic?

"What? You don't want to?"

As Ji Jiufeng fiddled with the rose petals in the water, she frowned slightly and looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Serving one's master is what a disciple should do."

Coming to his senses, Lu Changsheng hurriedly ran to the bath, then began to take off his long robe, preparing to enter the water together with his master for a romantic bath, so that his life would not have been in vain.

Seeing this, the usually aloof and cold Ji Jiufeng could no longer maintain her composure. Her face flushed, she pointed to her shoulder and spat:

"Pah, you old lecher!"

"Master...Master wanted to ask you to...to massage my shoulders~"

"..."

Lu Changsheng's face turned bright red, and then he reluctantly walked behind Ji Jiufeng, bent down and began to massage Ji Jiufeng's shoulders.

He knows it!

Swah——

The moment the fingers touched Ji Jiufeng's shoulders, Ji Jiufeng's body tensed instantly as if struck by an electric current, and her cheeks flushed.

The delicate and smooth touch of his skin on his fingertips sent a shiver down Lu Changsheng's spine, leaving him momentarily dazed.

As the water temperature continued to rise, whether from the heat or the restlessness, Lu Changsheng felt the urge to jump into the water again.

"Hmm~ Gently... gently~"

Ji Jiufeng couldn't help but let out a soft moan, only realizing her mistake after the words were out of her mouth.

So she blushed and turned her head away.

But then, as if remembering something, his expression suddenly changed, and his tone was full of loneliness and sorrow:

"Chang Sheng, you...you have no spiritual root within you, and in this life you have no hope of embarking on the path of cultivation; you can only remain an ordinary mortal. Now your lifespan is less than a year left, you..."

"Is there anything you still wish to do? If so, please tell me, and I will certainly help you fulfill your wish!"

"..."

These words instantly deflated Lu Changsheng, whose inner sparks had just ignited (don't ask why it wasn't a small flame).

Like a frost-bitten eggplant, it's wilted.

It's gone soft~

Yes!

Time flies so fast, so fast that I'm getting old and almost dead!

Looking at Ji Jiufeng's exposed skin, which was as white, smooth, and pink as a scallion or as white as snow, she was truly a young woman of sixteen or seventeen, a fairy descended to earth.

Looking at his own hands, wrinkled and withered like an old tree stump, he realized he was an old man with white hair, a decrepit old man.

Lu Changsheng was extremely saddened and tears streamed down his face. He couldn't hold back his emotions any longer!

If the spring breeze has a heart to pity the flowers, may I be young again?

No wonder Master acted differently today, making me stay and massage her after finishing her bath. It turns out he sensed that her lifespan was nearing its end and she was saying goodbye.

"An unfulfilled wish? Well, there is one..."

After wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Lu Changsheng stared at Ji Jiufeng's graceful back, his expression dazed, as memories flooded back like a tide.

He was originally a transmigrator who came to this world of cultivation where people could fly and escape. He thought he could be like countless male protagonists, proving the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, ascending to immortality, and becoming invincible under heaven.

Unexpectedly, reality slapped him hard across the face, leaving his head buzzing.

He had no illustrious family background and no powerful connections.

Without extraordinary comprehension or talent.

No treasures, no resources, and certainly no system to dominate everything...

It's no exaggeration to say that if I hadn't been able to recite 300 Tang poems to fool people, I would have starved to death long ago.

As for the ring?

Lu Changsheng had picked up no less than 20,000 of them from the ground and from street stalls.

But none of these rings contained an old man hiding inside.

willow?

Lu Changsheng wished he could cut down one tree every three days and plant another every five days, stripping all the nearby willow trees bare.

The so-called sacrificial spirit has never appeared!

If there's anything special about him, it's only the small, broken cauldron that brought him, Lu Changsheng, from Blue Star.

This cauldron is rusty, about the size of a palm, and unremarkable in appearance; it's the kind of thing you'd never find again if you threw it in the trash.

At first, Lu Changsheng also suspected that this little broken cauldron was some kind of heaven-defying object, but after transmigrating to this other world, the little broken cauldron completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

He searched for decades without success, and Lu Changsheng even began to doubt whether he was hallucinating. Gradually, he forgot about it.

Aside from that, the only thing a transmigrator could boast about was becoming Ji Jiufeng's disciple.

Ji Jiufeng was one of the six palace masters of Shangyun Heavenly Palace. She met Lu Changsheng by chance when he was starving to death, and Lu Changsheng fell completely in love at first sight.

With just one line, "Clouds yearn for her garments, flowers for her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy," Ji Jiufeng's attention was successfully captured, and she was then taken back to Shangyun Heavenly Palace.

Of course, Lu Changsheng wasn't as old back then as he is now. With his handsome appearance and outstanding talent, he also won over Ji Jiufeng.

Back at Shangyun Heavenly Palace, as they spent their days together, Lu Changsheng would slaughter a chicken for Ji Jiufeng every three days to make soup, and prepare a cumin-flavored barbecue every five days.

What does "The woman by the wine shop is like the moon, her fair wrists like frost and snow" mean?

"There was a beautiful woman, graceful and charming."

"A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections."

"You are the blossoming of trees, the murmuring of swallows in the rafters; you are love, warmth, and hope; you are the April day of this world!"

.......

He used Tang and Song dynasty poems and saccharine love words to describe them all.

This gradually won over Ji Jiufeng, the icy beauty, filling her young heart with nothing but Lu Changsheng.

They are mutually in love.

He thought he could live a life of blissful companionship. Even if he couldn't cultivate or be invincible, having Ji Jiufeng by his side would be enough for him in this life.

Unexpectedly, Ji Jiufeng's master, the head of Shangyun Heavenly Palace, was furious when he learned that Lu Changsheng was an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots and unable to cultivate. He then forcibly separated the couple.

They even secretly plotted against Lu Changsheng, wanting to kill him outright and end the matter once and for all.

Fortunately, Ji Jiufeng appeared when Lu Changsheng was on the verge of death and threatened to kill himself, thus saving his life.

In the end, it's unclear what conditions Ji Jiufeng agreed to with the sect leader, but in exchange, Lu Changsheng was allowed to stay in Shangyun Heavenly Palace, and the sect leader would no longer harm him.

However, the two must not overstep their bounds; Ji Jiufeng's primordial yin must not be broken, otherwise Lu Changsheng will surely die.

For the sake of Ji Jiufeng's reputation, Lu Changsheng became Ji Jiufeng's disciple, and the two addressed each other as master and disciple.

They lived peacefully for decades. During this time, Ji Jiufeng found countless secret techniques and spiritual fruits and medicines, but Lu Changsheng was never able to embark on the path of cultivation.

It's no exaggeration to say that if you fed these miraculous elixirs to a pig, that pig could transform into a demon and become a powerful figure in the demon realm.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, Chen Changsheng really isn't even as good as a pig.

It wasn't until Lu Changsheng was nearing the end of his life and about to die that the two opened their hearts to each other again and spoke frankly.

Ji Jiufeng felt equally desolate. Seeing her once spirited and ambitious lover, who had once commanded the world, now with white hair and a fading youth, who could understand such pain?

If she weren't burdened with a mission, wouldn't she have loved to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace of the Clouds, caring nothing for the path to immortality, nothing for ascension, nothing for the distinction between immortals and demons...?

For Ji Jiufeng, the world had completely lost its color after Lu Changsheng's death.

After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes without leaving a trace, a hint of determination and madness flashed in Ji Jiufeng's eyes:

"Chang Sheng, is there anything else you haven't finished?"

"Master...Master, really...really, can I bring up anything?"

Lu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, looking at Ji Jiufeng with an incredulous expression. He had been calling her "Master" for decades and didn't want to change it.

"Just name your name, as long as I can do it!"

Whatever Lu Changsheng's dying wish may be, and whatever the cost, Ji Jiufeng will fulfill it for him.

Even if it means defying the sect leader!

Even if it means betraying Shangyun Heavenly Palace!

Even if it means being an enemy of the immortals, demons, monsters, and even the entire world!

We'll spare no effort!

After all, this was this man's last...

Last wish!

Upon receiving Ji Jiufeng's affirmative answer, Lu Changsheng was so moved that tears streamed down his face. Then, amidst Ji Jiufeng's panicked expression, he jumped into the bath, took her soft, boneless hand in his, and blushed deeply.

"Master, I...I want to sleep with you!"

"..."
