Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

"?!"

Mu Qianxue's breath caught in her throat for a moment, and her pupils contracted sharply in shock.

She stood stiffly at the dormitory door, trying hard to recall everything that had happened last night.

Unfortunately, she got drunk too early and had no idea why this situation had occurred.

As my gaze fell upon the two figures sleeping entwined on the bed—

Her master was nestled in her husband's arms, their intimate posture making them seem more like ordinary Daoist couples than master and disciple.

Her hand rested on his slightly open collar, her fingertips touching his collarbone;

Her legs were intertwined, her black hair was loose, and she was entangled with him.

"..."

However, Mu Qianxue regained her composure in just a moment.

Judging from their current state, at least the worst-case scenario has not occurred.

Her husband's sleeping appearance at this moment was exactly the same as hers when she was hungover.

Rather than being sound asleep, he was more likely to be completely drunk and unconscious.

Based solely on the scene before her, she could roughly deduce what had happened last night and what her master was planning.

I initially thought the other person genuinely couldn't bear to part with the two of them...

Looking back now, it seems that such thoughts were hidden within that reluctance to part.

However, she and her husband are setting off tomorrow, so there's no need to break off relations now.

"..."

Suddenly, Pei Wanyun seemed to realize something, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she gradually opened her eyes.

Last night, she dared not sleep, cherishing every last intimate moment with her husband.

Lying in the other person's arms is so reassuring that you can easily relax without even realizing it.

However, it only took a moment for those phoenix eyes to go from sleepy to clear and bright.

Then she met a pair of cool, beautiful eyes at the door.

"..."

The master and apprentice looked at each other.

Mu Qianxue's eyes revealed no emotion.

Pei Wanyun remained calm.

Instead of panicking, he even considered testing his disciple again.

She had tried countless times before, but without exception, there was no response.

But for some reason, she always had this feeling:

Perhaps this girl is like me?

Pei Wanyun blinked gently, and her gentle smile returned.

"Qianxue is awake?"

Her voice carried a hint of languor from just waking up, and she didn't immediately explain the current situation.

He simply propped himself up and sat up slowly and calmly.

After sitting up, she simply raised her hand to tidy her slightly messy hair.

She glanced at her still-sleeping husband before looking towards the door again.

"Um."

Although this scene was extremely jarring to Mu Qianxue, she remained unfazed.

"Master, how could you and my junior brother...?"

"Oh?"

"You mean this?"

Pei Wanyun began to explain:

"You two were both drunk last night."

"Furthermore, I was a bit drunk at the time and was really unable to attend to everything, so I had no choice but to let you stay here."

"after…"

She held her forehead and began to feign ignorance:

"I don't know what happened after that."

"I don't know why it turned out this way."

A hint of bewilderment flickered in her phoenix eyes, just the right moment.

It seems that she really had no recollection of what happened afterward;

It was as if all of this was just an accident;

It seemed she was truly drunk;

After all, she knew her disciple's temperament very well.

Some things only need to be said in general terms. If you go into too much detail, it will arouse suspicion and allow the other party to see through the truth.

"..."

Mu Qianxue simply stared at her in silence.

She believed even half of what he said.

Especially the last sentence, "I don't know."

Coupled with her master's innocent expression, and his calm demeanor even after learning that he had shared a bed with his disciple, it was practically telling her in a blatant way:

I did it on purpose.

But she couldn't show any emotion.

You can't exactly say, "You're not allowed to sleep with my husband," can you?

If that's the case, then the information gap she's been painstakingly hiding will be exposed, and her last remaining advantage will vanish.

Moreover, there's only one day left.

Starting tomorrow, her husband will belong only to her.

At that time, relying on the experience accumulated during this period—

Definitely! We will definitely rekindle our romance!!

At Yuling Peak, she couldn't fully unleash her potential.

But in the secret realm, could she still hold back?

"I see, I was just being paranoid."

Mu Qianxue simply responded, her gaze fixed on her master, but her peripheral vision secretly fell on Chen Lianshu.

At that moment, she only hated herself for being so useless.

If only one had a higher alcohol tolerance;

If I hadn't drunk so much after being slightly tipsy last night;

If only we could hold on a little longer;

Is it possible for me to be as close to my husband as my master is?

But the answer is obvious—

Unless she was drunk, she was really...

But how could she come up with such a method when she was drunk?

"Snowflakes".

Pei Wanyun called her softly, her tone carrying a hint of meaning:

"What are you staring at Lian Shu for?"

Although Mu Qianxue was glancing at Chen Lianshu out of the corner of her eye, she still managed to catch him.

"I'm just checking on my junior brother's condition."

Seeing that her little scheme had been discovered, Mu Qianxue remained calm and composed, her tone even and unwavering:

"After all, we are setting off tomorrow. If he is not feeling well, it may delay our journey."

"rest assured."

Pei Wanyun smiled slightly:

"He's fine, he just drank too much last night."

"You'll wake up naturally once you've had enough sleep."

As she spoke, she got out of bed and reached out to tuck the blanket around Chen Lianshu.

The movements were natural, as if they had been done a thousand times before.

"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer, Master."

Mu Qianxue turned around and prepared to leave:

"When my junior brother wakes up, please inform him that I will be waiting for him to cultivate in the back mountain."

And just as she took a step—

"Snowflakes".

But then Pei Wanyun called out from behind.

He paused slightly, turned around, and asked in confusion:

"Does Master have any further instructions?"

"You...don't you have anything you want to say to your master?"

That's a very clever question.

It was both a probe and a common inquiry.

Mu Qianxue remained silent for a moment:

"...Disciple does have something to say."

She paused slightly before speaking:

"My junior brother and I will set off tomorrow."

"Please, Master... don't worry too much."

"Although it will take some time before we part, I will certainly protect my junior brother."

"Master only needs to wait quietly in the peak for good news."

Pei Wanyun clearly hadn't expected her eldest disciple to say such a thing.

Then she smiled.

His smile was full of relief and contentment.

"I understand."

"Thank you for your concern, my disciple."

"This disciple takes his leave."

Mu Qianxue said no more and turned to leave.

She wasn't worried about what her master would do to her husband after she left.

After all, when I was hungover, the other party had plenty of opportunities but didn't make a move;

Now that I am clear-headed, I would never do that again.

The footsteps faded into the distance until they disappeared completely from our ears.

Pei Wanyun shook her head helplessly.

"This girl..."

She then turned her attention back to her husband beside her.

I walked back to the bed and lay down again.

She leaned gently against his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"That's enough—"

"Regardless of what happens to that girl."

"At least…"

She gently nuzzled his shoulder and moved closer.

"My husband, you are still in my arms right now."
