I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

into the night.

Flying boat, guest room.

Cheng Ran sat in the room, looking at the panel in front of him.

Rewards popped up one after another on the panel.

[Ding! The host has successfully prevented Ye Chen from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!]

[Ye Chen's luck value decreased by 50, the host gained 50 villain points, and also gained one and a half years of cultivation!]

[Ding! Host has cut off Ye Chen's escape route and destroyed his spiritual root!]

[Ye Chen's luck value decreased by 90, and the host gained 90 villain points.]

[Reward: Thrush Stick]

[Dragonfly Staff: Using this item during dual cultivation increases the submission level gained by the Lady of Destiny.]

[Reward Received: Divine Bird Whip]

[Divine Bird Whip: Using this item during dual cultivation can increase the submission level gained by the Lady of Destiny.]

Ye Chen has currently lost a total of 400 points of luck.

[World line change.]

Hmm... has the world line changed again?

This was the second time Cheng Ran had seen such a system notification.

He couldn't figure out what this meant, and he was also unsure whether it was good or bad...

On the bright side, perhaps from now on, all of Ye Chen's female confidantes will be under the care of this traitor Cao.

On the darker side, Ye Chen might turn to the dark side because he lost his spiritual root.

"never mind."

Cheng Ran shook his head, deciding not to delve into these long-standing matters.

"Let's load the cultivation level first."

Loading...

[The host's aptitude is at the "God" level; cultivation will be loaded based on this standard.]

[Ding! After three months of cultivation using a mysterious tool, the host has broken through to the sixth level of the Core Formation stage!]

......

[Ding! After a year of intense training, the host has broken through to the ninth level of the Core Formation stage!]

"Wuhu! Take off!"

Cheng Ran took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual power about to surge out from his dantian!

The system is still incredibly powerful.

A little over a month ago, he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment junior.

Now, just like Senior Sister Mu, the number one genius of the millennium, she has reached the point of about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm!

dong dong dong-

Just then, there was a light knock on the door.

Who is it?

Cheng Ran got up and opened the door.

He then discovered that the person who had visited his room at night was none other than his master, Gong Yueli.

Tonight, Master is still dressed as always in elegant black and white sword attire, with a captivating crimson mark between his brows.

But something is amiss...

Before he could even utter a word of teasing, a faint blush had already crept onto his master's usually aloof face.

Moreover, she used both arms, one to shield the papaya and the other to shield the forest.

This appearance seems a bit strange...

Cheng Ran led her inside and, as a precaution, installed soundproofing.

Then he asked:

"Master, why is your face so hot?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Yueli tightened her arms around him, blushing and spitting out:

"It's all because of you, you unfilial disciple!"

"You have to force me... to be completely honest with you..."

Honesty and openness?

Cheng Ran didn't react for a moment.

A moment later, he realized that this was a message he had sent to his master.

Could it be that...

Cheng Ran suddenly understood something, and then looked at his master's attempt to cover up his true intentions.

He suddenly realized.

I see, Mei Chuan Kuzi, Mei Dai Se Zhao.....

To be honest, that's not what he meant by being completely honest with each other.

This is because the master overunderstood.

this......

It's so hot!

You should know that even though Master is at the Mahayana Realm, she comes and goes without a trace, and the people on the flying boat can't see her figure at all.

But no matter what, she took off her undergarments and bodice herself in the house before coming here...

Thinking of this, Cheng Ran could no longer suppress the wicked thoughts in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Hehehe!

The Imperial Immortal Seal was activated, and in an instant, he pinned his master, who had no cultivation, against the wall of the room.

Get ready to start! Get ready to start!

"Evil disciple, stop first..."

Gong Yueli remained true to her classic "I'd rather die than submit" stance, turning her head slightly to whisper.

However, this time, it was unusually serious:

"I have something to ask you."

Cheng Ran naturally noticed the odd tone in Gong Yueli's voice.

He didn't mind letting his master enjoy the current feeling of embarrassment a little longer:

"Oh, Master, please speak?"

Gong Yueli then looked at him, her voice regaining some of its usual coolness.

What she wanted to ask was a question that had been troubling her for nearly a month:

"You unfilial disciple... when you spar with me in swordsmanship, have you ever gained anything from it?"

"Why does Master ask such a question?"

Cheng Ran raised an eyebrow.

Gong Yueli then said seriously:

"Your sword energy has now solidified into your body, which must be due to a certain physical constitution."

Cheng Ran nodded.

He knew he couldn't hide his physical condition from his master, so he answered truthfully:

"Master, after I tasted the forbidden fruit with you that day, I suddenly awakened the Eternal Sword Body."

Eternal Sword Body?!

Gong Yueli's clear, cold eyes trembled.

That's the legendary physique of the Sword Emperor Ancestor, said to be able to draw ten thousand swords back to their origin!

Since the Sword Emperor ascended to the Upper Realm, no one in the Nine Provinces has awakened the Eternal Sword Body!

But why...?

This wicked disciple spoke so casually!

Moreover, the reason he awakened the Eternal Sword Body was simply because he had formed a forbidden bond with himself.

Gong Yueli's eyebrows furrowed in disbelief; she felt this was simply outrageous.

"You unfilial disciple... so your mastery of the Returning Void Sword Technique within six days was also due to your sword duel with me?"

"That's natural."

Cheng Ran smiled wickedly and said confidently:

As the saying goes, you can't judge things by appearances alone.

"My disciple's discussion of swordsmanship with you may seem absurd and rebellious, but it is not so... In reality, I am diligently practicing my sword techniques!"

Gong Yueli was both angry and annoyed upon hearing this; how could she possibly believe Cheng Ran's nonsense?

Pah! How shameless!

They said they were focusing on cultivating their sword skills...

It's clearly Komiya who's after her teacher and OO...

However, she didn't react on the spot. She just gave Cheng Ran a cold glare, hesitated for a moment, and then confessed:

"Tch, actually, my cultivation level has also improved during the sword competition."

Cheng Ran was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

Master has been stuck at the peak of the Mahayana realm for nearly a hundred years, yet his cultivation has still improved?

After a moment's thought, he offered his guess:

"Perhaps it's because my disciple awakened the Eternal Sword Body, and during their sword duel with their master, who possessed the Divine Phoenix Sword Body, two different sword intents merged?"

"That's possible."

Gong Yueli nodded; she had guessed the same thing.

"Now I am several steps closer to the origin of swordsmanship."

"oh......"

Cheng Ran seemed to be deep in thought, resting her chin on her hand, but remained silent for a long while.

He suddenly said again:

"So, Master thinks that discussing swordsmanship with his disciple is actually not a bad idea?"

"That's utterly absurd!"

Although Gong Yueli did have such thoughts briefly in her mind, she resolutely denied them.

If she admits that it's interesting to duel with this wicked disciple...

Wouldn't that disrupt the proper order of master and disciple?

She stubbornly insisted:

"Cultivating swords through this method is nothing but a crooked and heretical approach..."

"To truly master swordsmanship, one must sever all desires, purify the mind, and diligently cultivate... What are you doing!"

But Gong Yueli was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

He actually fell into the clutches of that wicked disciple!

At the same time, Cheng Ran's wicked smile could no longer be concealed:

"Master, times have changed."

"The world today is already a version where heretical cultivators are in power."

"Please, Master, do not cling to old ways!"

He said no more after that.

A flash of light appeared in the storage ring, and two items materialized before his eyes.

Gong Yueli's eyes narrowed sharply.

One of the items is an old friend, the collar from the last animal documentary.

The other item looked like handcuffs used to control criminals in a prison, and it even faintly emitted a purple aura...

That doesn't look legitimate!

"You unfilial disciple, what are you doing taking these things out here...?"

Cheng Ran shook his head upon hearing this, tossed the small prop to Gong Yueli, and said with a light laugh:

"Master, put these two things on yourself."

"Today, your disciple will impart to you the profound mysteries of swordsmanship!"

Wearing these two things...

How is that possible?

She is the supreme master of swordsmanship, possessing a clear and enlightened sword heart!

Don't even dream about it!

Gong Yueli said sternly, but her delicate body seemed to be unable to hold on and gradually went limp.

After a moment of stunned silence, she added:

"You unfilial disciple, if you continue in this depraved state, I will punish you by making you face the wall for five hours to reflect on your actions when I return to the peak..."

Hmm? Still being stubborn?

Cheng Ran indicated that he didn't need to pay attention, and glanced sideways at Gong Yueli with a frown.

For some reason, Gong Yueli was quite frightened by this wicked disciple's gaze, her mind went blank for a moment, and she involuntarily said:

"Woof woof~"

......

......

Half an hour later.

Flying boat verandah.

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Cheng will rest in this room."

Several female cultivators from Yaochi bowed in unison and spoke with utmost respect.

"Yes, you may leave."

On the other side, the stunningly beautiful Nangong Jiusheng gently dismissed the disciples who had led her there.

Then he looked up and gazed at the tightly closed door.

She came today to give a thank-you gift.

Or rather, she came specifically to meet this disciple named Cheng Ran.

However, when her jade-like hand gently touched the door, Nangong Jiusheng's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The tone was clear yet puzzled:

"Why did he set up a soundproof barrier in this room?"
