Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

and so……

Although Bai Yuan guessed that he might meet someone from the Ji family on this trip - because the latter's secluded place was in the mountains hundreds of kilometers away from the "Tianyuan Secret Realm", he did not expect to meet Ji Tingxue.

This is definitely a low-probability event.

the other side.

Ji Tingxue observed Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er for a while without revealing a word, then turned back to look at the chaotic scene in the courtyard and sighed softly:

"Ugh."

"Another sneaky rebellion. Sadly, all these disasters are caused by the Demon Lord of the Hidden Moon Demon Sect."

"……what?"

"Don't you know, Fellow Daoist Su?"

Ji Tingxue looked at Bai Yuan's expression, thinking she didn't know who the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" was, so she patiently explained, "You've been traveling the martial arts world for a while now, so you must have heard people talking about the story of 'many righteous members of the Qingxuan Sect set up a trap to fight a demon, resulting in a mutual destruction,' right?"

"The 'demon' mentioned in this rumor is the Blood Kite Demon Lord I mentioned."

"About seven days ago, unusual movements occurred in the direction of Hidden Moon Mountain, where the demonic leader resides. A large number of evil spirits were released from there, fleeing to various parts of Zhongzhou. This isn't the first time we've encountered something like this... The Blood Kite Demon Lord is truly heinous!"

"...Is this really true?"

Bai Yuan pretended to be slightly stunned, then nodded in agreement, "The Blood Kite Demon Lord is truly evil!"

Ye Shuang'er: "(⊙_⊙)"

The topic of "Blood Kite" is just a small episode.

Perhaps because Bai Yuan acted so normally throughout the whole process, Ji Tingxue gradually let down her guard and started another topic:

"Speaking of which, the 'Qingxin Sect' seems to be located in the Huoyun Kingdom in the southern region of Zhongzhou, thousands of kilometers away from here. Why did Fellow Daoist Su come all the way here? Could it be... that it's also because of that recently revealed secret realm?"

"Ah, yes."

Bai Yuan nodded. "My master heard about the emergence of the 'Tianyuan Secret Realm' a while ago, so he sent me and my junior sister to explore it, hoping to try our luck and find some opportunities. I didn't expect to encounter a powerful enemy here. Thanks to Senior Sister Ji for helping us resolve the crisis. I am truly grateful."

"That's fine. As fellow practitioners, it's only natural for us to help each other."

Ji Tingxue paused and said, "Coincidentally, I also plan to explore the 'Yuankong Secret Realm' someday. If you don't mind, perhaps we can come together?"

"Ok?"

Bai Yuan thought for a second, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Said a few more words.

Mr. Huang's family over there finally recovered from the chaos, limped over to Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue, and bowed to them to express their gratitude.

"I'm grateful to you, the Immortals, for saving my family. Now it's late at night. If you don't mind, you can stay in my humble abode. I'll send someone to clean up the side rooms right away."

"...That's fine."

After receiving Bai Yuan and Ji Tingxue's permission, Master Huang immediately ordered the arrangements, and soon everything was ready. As they set out, a table of freshly prepared side dishes was brought over, and two more tables were set up in the wing room.

Bai Yuan had no appetite at the moment, but Ye Shuang'er had not eaten enough just now, so she ate happily for a while and gave Bai Yuan another 100 fluctuation value.

Well... I can draw a big lucky bag again.

But Bai Yuan plans to save some more.

After dinner, it’s time to wash up.

Given the historical context of "Asking the Immortal", there naturally couldn't be things like showers, so the old housekeeper found a few maids and moved the wooden barrels and hot water into the side room for Bai Yuan and the others to use.

At this time, Ye Shuang'er took off her outer clothes, leaving only her underwear, and lay down beside the wooden barrel to test the water temperature. Then she waved to Bai Yuan and said, "Master, the water temperature is just right. Let me help you bathe and change clothes!"

Is Chapter 27 a confession?

"Shh-"

Bai Yuan gestured for silence, then bent her fingers and gently tapped Ye Shuang'er's smooth forehead. "How many times have I told you this? On this trip, you and I are sisters. We must maintain this attitude everywhere. We almost got caught in front of Ji Tingxue just now..."

"If something bad happens, I may not be able to protect you."

"But there are no outsiders in this room anymore."

Ye Shuang'er was still muttering, "And Master... Senior Sister, you didn't release those sneaky people on purpose. Even if there were any consequences, it was an unintentional mistake. How can you put all the blame on you... Uh-huh!"

This time, Bai Yuan directly covered Ye Shuang'er's mouth.

——If she continues to talk so recklessly, Ji Tingxue might really come over from next door to kill her.

After a brief struggle.

Ye Shuang'er finally calmed down, just blinking her big black eyes at Bai Yuan, with a hint of mischievous smile in her eyes.

Wait until Bai Yuan lets go.

She immediately pulled her head back and spoke quickly, "Sister, the hot water is almost cold. Let me help you bathe and change clothes...Isn't that okay?"

"..."

Bai Yuan's mouth twitched slightly: No, why is this child so obsessed with helping her take a bath?

As far as I can remember, she didn't seem to have this hobby when "Blood Kite" was around...

Given that it was late.

And indeed, we are all a little tired.

Bai Yuan did not continue to argue with Ye Shuang'er. She quickly took off her outer clothes, and then her bra and stockings, revealing her petite and fair body. Then she scooped a few spoonfuls of water from the wooden barrel and poured it on her body to rinse. Then she stepped into the barrel naked and slowly sat down.

To be on the safe side, she is still maintaining the camouflage of "Thousand Faces of the Demonic Spider", but apart from the visual effect, the touch and skin texture of her body are actually not much different from before, and she feels quite sensitive when touched by others.

So, when Ye Shuang'er stretched out her hands from behind to help her wash her hair and wipe her back, Bai Yuan subconsciously trembled slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural.

Definitely.

As a modern person who has no bad hobbies except playing games, she has never experienced such a thing as letting a young girl help her take a bath.

In particular, Ye Shuang'er was not very old, and her hands were slender, delicate, and boneless. When she gently kneaded his shoulders and beat his back, Bai Yuan felt guilty for employing child labor, but on the other hand, he was a little distracted and even began to imagine some CG scenes that were not suitable for children, with an unnatural blush on his face.

"Senior Sister, how about this strength?"

Ye Shuang'er lowered her head and asked softly.

With this movement, a strand of hair fell from her shoulder and gently spread out on Bai Yuan's back, which was as white as milk, like a flower just blooming.

"...It's okay. Just a little harder and it will be fine."

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, clearing her mind of distractions. Then, she raised her arms in the water, crossed them, and placed them on the edge of the tub, her entire upper body crouching on top, letting Ye Shuang'er grope her from behind. A tingling sensation gradually washed over her body, forcing her to close her eyes, feeling incredibly comfortable.

For a while.

All that could be heard was the gurgling sound of flowing water, accompanied by curls of mist. In the mist, Bai Yuan's snow-white body, soaked in hot water, was faintly visible within the wooden barrel. Next to her was Ye Shuang'er's slender figure, clad only in a tight-fitting dress. The scene was like a painting of a beautiful woman, as beautiful as jade.

"Master has indeed changed a lot."

Ye Shuang'er suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Bai Yuan replied with a nasal tone, not paying much attention.

Ye Shuang'er continued, "My former master, even when bathing or sleeping, always had a tense body, like a fully drawn bow, never relaxing. Furthermore, he wouldn't trust me with his back so confidently, and certainly wouldn't speak to me in such an intimate manner..."

Following the girl's voice.

Bai Yuan's heart moved, and his brain, which had been a little drowsy, suddenly woke up and became a little alert.

She actually has a hidden worry.

Although she and Ye Shuang'er had gotten along well during this period, this harmony was largely built on deception. This was especially true with the system's "memories killing" letter. While it had a remarkable effect, most of the content in the letter was false and completely different from the actual situation.

Therefore, Bai Yuan has always been unsure whether Ye Shuang'er has truly "forgotten" the past, or is just numbing herself from thinking about it, or is hiding herself, waiting for the next opportunity to launch a gorgeous rebellion against her master.

perhaps……

There is another smaller possibility.

It was Ye Shuang'er who realized that she was not the original "Blood Kite", but a cuckoo that had taken over the magpie's nest.

——In the terminology of the world of immortal cultivation, this is called "taking over another's body."

From this perspective, Ye Shuang'er's words just now did have a hint of meaning.

"People always change."

Bai Yuan carefully considered his words and spoke casually, "Master used to be so absorbed in cultivation that he was too indifferent to the outside world, leading to many mistakes. It wasn't until this time, after experiencing life and death and walking through the gates of hell, that I realized the preciousness of family affection. So, when you spend time with me from now on, you don't have to be too restrained..."

"Of course, there are some things you still have to listen to."

"Ok!"

Ye Shuang'er nodded vigorously and said sincerely, "My previous master did some bad things to me, and even scared me a lot of the time, but... because I like my current master very much, it doesn't matter.

"As long as Master doesn't drive me away, Shuang'er is willing to stay by your side forever, serve you tea and water, and be the most obedient disciple."

"..."

This is...

Are you confessing to yourself?

The first confession of love to him after his reincarnation was actually made by a girl?

Bai Yuan passed over this slightly absurd thought and couldn't help but smile.

Then he frowned and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "I've told you so many times, you have to call me Senior Sister when you go out!"

"...Yes, Senior Sister~"

Ye Shuang'er deliberately dragged out the tone in response.

Both the master and the disciple smiled, and the atmosphere between them became completely relaxed. The room was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.

after that.

Bai Yuan relaxed his body again and lay on the wooden barrel, allowing Ye Shuang'er to help massage his shoulders and neck. His eyes unconsciously drifted to the wall next to him.

"correct……"

Is Ji Tingxue next door also taking a bath now?

Chapter 28: One sip per person, no more drinking

As the tea leaf form of the ancient tea tree, Ji Tingxue actually has another characteristic -

That is, any liquid that soaks her body will turn into holy water that can help people purify their minds and attain enlightenment.

Just take one cup and you can permanently increase your comprehension by 20 points, up to a maximum of 120 points.

In addition, attributes such as health bars and blue bars will also be enhanced to varying degrees.

After all, it is "Wudao Ancient Tea"...

In Bai Yuan's previous life, a big player discovered this secret by chance, and wrote a post about the process of stealing [Ji Tingxue's bath water] and posted it on the forum of "Asking the Immortal", which attracted a large number of players to explore Ji's house according to the strategy. As a result, they were killed by Ji Tingxue in the "Ji Lingyun" state, and could only run to forums or video websites to be cloud players, and by the way, brush up on the "one sip per person, no more drinking" meme.

And now.

What Bai Yuan is more curious about is:

Can this thing be used to repair spiritual roots?

Theoretically, the Ancient Tea Tree of Enlightenment is one of the seven earliest spiritual roots in the universe, forming a mutually exclusive relationship with the "spiritual root" within a cultivator's body. Sharing a common name and origin, both are closely linked to "enlightenment," the most crucial attribute for cultivation. Therefore, using "ancient tea" to heal damaged spiritual roots is a natural fit.

Even if it is useless, it is still worthwhile to increase your comprehension by an additional 120 points after you "reshape your spiritual roots".

Maybe, I could use it as a raw material to refine a tonic pill, then give some to Ye Shuang'er, or even give it to the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect...

No loss whatsoever.

Bai Yuan thought that he could do this.

Anyway, her current identity was "Qingxin Sect disciple Su Baizhi." Even if she were discovered, it would be the Qingxin Sect that would be disgraced, not her "Blood Kite Demon Lord." Besides, she could use "Demon Spider Thousand Faces" to create a new identity for herself, and then simply cancel it after this operation, without anyone noticing...

wow-

Bai Yuan stretched, showing off her soft and slender waist, then stood up from the bathtub and took a towel to dry her body.

Ye Shuang'er originally wanted to help, but was rejected by her.
