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

inside the house.

The exciting duo queue continues.

Having suffered a defeat in her first battle, Miyazuki is now attempting to regain her honor in the second.

However, things didn't go as planned.

"You wicked disciple...you are not allowed..."

Gong Yueli was drenched in sweat, her black hair hanging down in disarray.

Cheng Ran completely ignored it.

"No... Master, do you still remember when I didn't practice my sword properly, and you used a ruler to whip my hand?"

"Today, your disciple will also punish your master for not practicing swordsmanship properly!"

"You... shameless!"

Gong Yueli cursed angrily, but the suffocating feeling on her neck became even stronger.

Just when she was about to be defeated!

suddenly.

The door was gently knocked three times, and a soft, gentle voice came from inside:

"I am Nangong Jiusheng."

What...the Holy Lord has arrived?

Gong Yueli was taken aback upon hearing this.

For a moment, a hint of panic flashed across her cool and composed face.

She knew that Nangong Jiusheng would come to the flying boat tonight to find this wicked disciple...

But she never expected it.

She had just returned to the flying boat and begun a sword duel with her wicked disciple.

The Holy Lord of Yaochi then followed closely behind to find this wicked disciple.

This is terrible...

The Holy Lord of Yaochi is personally visiting; the wicked disciple has no reason not to open the door and welcome him.

However, this would lead to Nangong Jiusheng discovering her relationship with her wicked disciple.

The outcome was self-evident.

She's ruined her reputation!

After all, who would have thought that the Supreme Sword Master of Kyushu would have physical intimacy with his disciple!

Gong Yueli pleaded in a low voice:

"You wicked disciple, think of something..."

But Cheng Ran frowned:

"What method are you thinking of?"

Gong Yueli knew that this wicked disciple was pretending to be stupid, so what other way could she think of?

She looked around the room and found there wasn't even a wardrobe; there was nowhere to hide, and everything was laid bare!

"Where...should I hide?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ran's lips curled into a mocking smile:

"Hide? Why?"

"Does the Holy Lord of Yaochi have any right to interfere in our sword duel, master and disciple?"

"Why not let her witness the deep bond between my master and me..."

"You unfilial disciple!"

Gong Yueli was so angry that her chest heaved, and she was almost crying.

She knew her unfilial disciple was deliberately humiliating her, but she had no choice but to obediently accept her fate.

"I'll give you three breaths. You absolutely cannot let the Holy Lord of Yaochi discover this..."

"Okay, okay."

Cheng Ran waved his hand and stopped teasing his master's dog.

He took out a piece of cloth from his storage ring and covered the table in front of the two of them.

Then, pointing at it, he said:

"Master, you can hide under this table later."

"A normal person would never guess that someone is hiding under the desk, and they probably wouldn't be able to find you."

Gong Yueli's gaze trembled.

The table wasn't big; if you wanted to hide underneath it...

I had to curl up and lie on the ground in a humiliating position; it was shameful no matter how I thought about it!

But she can't be discovered!

Gong Yueli gritted her teeth, but had no choice but to accept the suggestion.

"Oh, what a tragedy..."

With this in mind.

She then tried to stand up.

But at that moment, Cheng Ran, who was beneath her, grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her back, teasingly saying:

"Master, I don't think I said that. May you leave now?"

Gong Yueli was momentarily confused:

What does this mean?

But the next moment, Cheng Ran wrapped his arms around her slender waist and picked her up.

Then he carried it to the little cave under the table, and said with a mischievous grin:

"Master, you once said that sword cultivation requires perseverance and cannot be disturbed by external things. Therefore, even if the Holy Lord comes, he should not stop us from discussing swordsmanship."

"You...you're insane?"

Gong Yueli's usually cool and aloof face instantly turned red from her ears to her neck.

That's the Holy Lord of Yaochi...

This wicked disciple actually thought...

Gong Yueli hurriedly tried to crawl away; she absolutely could not allow this wicked disciple to be so presumptuous.

But the next moment, he was pulled back into the arms of this wicked disciple:

"Waaah..."

"You damned, wicked disciple..."

......

After using violent means to pacify the disobedient master dog.

Cheng Ran then lifted the restriction.

"Holy Lord, please come in quickly!"

The door was then pushed open, and a silver-haired woman walked gently into the house.

Cheng Ran recognized the face.

Lord of Yaochi!

Nangong Jiusheng!

That renowned mistress of the Jade Pool Holy Land, the most beautiful woman in the history of the Nine Provinces for ten thousand years!

Her snow-white hair reached her shoulders, and her eyes seemed to hold a thousand galaxies hanging upside down.

Beneath the light purple Taoist robe draped in sheer gauze, her gentle charm and sanctity complement each other perfectly, and her terrifyingly high stats are clearly evident!

That talent is comparable to a combination of Palace Master Lu and Master.

That's incredibly exaggerated.

But then, at that moment...

Cheng Ran suddenly remembered something and frowned slightly:

"The Golden Eyes That Dispel Illusions"

Name: Nangong Jiusheng

[Realm Level: Mahayana Realm, Eighth Level]

[Physique: Phoenix Yao Sacred Body]

[Submission Level: Not yet unlocked]

Sure enough, true to the novel's pattern of taking everything in its entirety.

He knew perfectly well that none of the women on the list of beauties could escape.

As expected, Nangong Jiusheng also has a submission mechanism.

only......

Why hasn't this mechanism been unlocked yet?

Could it be that those women were all related to Ye Chen, the protagonist currently bound to him, which is why he was able to conquer them?

As for the Holy Lord of Yaochi, since she has absolutely no connection with Ye Chen, she has not yet been listed as a target for conquest by the system.

In other words...

Is Nangong Jiusheng connected to other chosen ones of destiny?

Cheng Ran only deduced these conclusions for the time being, and didn't think about it any further. Instead, he bowed to Nangong Jiusheng.

"Greetings, Holy Lord. I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

"It's alright."

Nangong Jiusheng walked slowly to the table and asked calmly:

"Shall we chat?"

Cheng Ran gazed at Nangong Jiusheng's stunning silver hair and nodded slightly.

"Please, Holy Lord."

Nangong Jiusheng then took a seat and, without much pleasantries, went straight to the point:

"Young man, yesterday you stopped the Blood Prison Curse and saved the lives of hundreds of my holy disciples. I thank you on their behalf."

When facing a beauty at the Mahayana Realm, Cheng Ran was still quite polite in his speech:

"Your Majesty is too kind. Those who follow the righteous path should help and assist each other."

"Indeed."

Nangong Jiusheng nodded slightly.

At the same time, a colorful lotus flower materialized in her hand.

The lotus was no more than the length of a palm, its petals as colorful as glass, shimmering with a dreamlike glow, its radiance flowing quietly.

The Holy Lord's beautiful eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance.

Immediately, the colorful lotus flower floated into Cheng Ran's hand.

"Since it's a matter of mutual assistance, I will give this to you."

Cheng Ran held a lotus flower in her hands.

He knew this was definitely a good thing, and forcing a smile, he asked:

"Holy Lord, this is..."

Nangong Jiusheng replied calmly:

"The seven-colored lotus that grows on the sacred branches of the Jade Pool Mother Tree will surely benefit you when it blooms."

Cheng Ran was flattered by the news.

He originally intended to ask the Jade Pool Holy Land for protection money...

But to my surprise, the Holy Lord of Yaochi actually came to my door and gave me such a great gift.

Legend has it that the mother tree in Yaochi only produces a seven-colored lotus every ten years.

Each colorful lotus will grant its holder unique supernatural powers based on their spiritual strength!

The Holy Master is quite kind!

He was overjoyed and did not refuse the Holy Lord's kindness:

"Thank you, Holy Lord!"

It was at this moment that...

Something bad happened.

slam-la-

The lurking Miyatsuki Riki is finally exhausted!

With a sudden, rapid tremor of the table, a faint, lingering fragrance of plum blossoms filled the room...
