Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

the other side.

Ji Tingxue also took several Ji family elixirs in succession to stop the bleeding. Then, with torn clothes, he walked closer and took a closer look at the white tiger. He understood clearly, "So that's how it is... This Wu Nian Sect's beast-taming magic weapon is truly mysterious and much more useful than elixirs."

"...I'm sorry, Tingxue. I dragged you into this again, and you got hurt so badly."

Bai Yuan bowed his head and apologized.

To be honest, she chose to start the battle here because she did have some intention of using Ji Tingxue. Otherwise, with just her and Ye Shuang'er, the chances of defeating the white tiger would be less than 30%, let alone taming it.

After being used so repeatedly, Ji Tingxue didn't directly strike her with a sword, which was considered very considerate of her.

Ji Tingxue raised her eyes and was about to say something, but suddenly she turned her head to look to the other side as if she sensed something.

over there.

The cold pond was stirred again.

It was Wan Ruoxue and others from the Tianyuan Sword Sect, as well as Jiang Rao, who left the Wunian Underground Palace through the waterway and appeared here.

The two sides exchanged glances.

Wan Ruoxue and the others immediately became wary. One of them used a magic weapon to freeze the lake water, while the others followed Wan Ruoxue and leaped onto the ice, swords drawn. "Blood Kite Demon Lord! You're still here! And... Fellow Daoist Ji, why are you with this demon? Are you truly determined to fall into the devil's way and bring shame upon the Ji family?"

"Elder Wan, be careful with your words."

Jiang Rao approached Wan Ruoxue and lowered his voice, "Fellow Daoist Ji has a pure heart and is inexperienced with worldly affairs. Judging from their appearance, they probably just happened to meet here and joined forces to fight off the enemy... There's also a group of cultivators from Qingming Valley over there, so they should be doing the same thing."

Wan Ruoxue frowned, then realized she'd just said something foolish. Regardless of Ji Tingxue's reason for contacting Bai Yuan, it was simply her or the Ji family's private actions. Her act of accusing someone of something could very well cause a rift between the Ji family and the Tianyuan Sword Sect. If that were the case, she feared she couldn't bear the consequences.

and……

Wan Ruoxue also noticed that something was amiss with Bai Yuan. The ferocious white tiger that had fought Baili Qingfeng to even strength, nearly destroying the entire Wu Nian Sect square, now lay docilely beside Bai Yuan like a large cat, letting out a deep, muffled growl.

present.

Wan Ruoxue shut up.

Jiang Rao then inconspicuously stepped forward and said loudly, "Blood Kite Demon Lord, you plotted to harm us Tianyuan disciples today. We will remember this grudge! When we have the chance in the future, we will definitely seek your advice!"

"..."

Bai Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Rao's bun.

There, clearly was that old jade hairpin!

------------

P.S.: It’s a little later than the agreed 10 o’clock, but it shouldn’t be too late… I’ve finished writing the 5th one even faster, and will post it later. I hope you enjoy reading it~

Chapter 65: Pure Lotus Pond (Fifth Update!)

(Little waste, are you there?)

(Why didn't Jiang Rao increase my vibration value even though she has inserted my hairpin?)

[Uh... Host, please be patient. Inserting your hairpin does not mean you're forgiving me. Jiang Rao's personality will only lead to violent emotional fluctuations when she sees sufficient evidence. Before that, she will try her best to suppress and numb her heart. Therefore, according to the fluctuation value algorithm, it is currently unable to produce sufficient output.]

[However, once Jiang Rao is verified and truly believes the host's words, a large amount of fluctuation value may be generated at once]

(…A lot? How big?)

How does it compare to Ye Shuang'er?

[Well... Ye Shuang'er is the sensitive type, while Jiang Rao is the persistent type. I think they both have their own strengths.]

(...)

By the way, why do I always feel that this conversation is a bit weird? It sounds like a car wheel is running over my face... Is it an illusion?

Bai Yuan muttered a few words in her heart, but her face remained expressionless. She tapped the tiger's paw with her fingertips, and the latter immediately bent down and let her climb up by stepping on its fur.

Then there was Ye Shuang'er.

Ji Tingxue hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the tiger's back.

After the three of them had sat down, Baihu slowly stood up, pretending to dig the ground anxiously, and let out a low growl from his throat, the sound of which shook the ancient pine trees and made snow fall.

Its injuries were still very serious, even more serious than when it faced Baili Qingfeng before, but that fierce aura was still there, causing Wan Ruoxue and others on the opposite side to become alert at the same time.

Jiang Rao even drew his sword, blocking the formation of his fellow disciples. He then offered a suggestion in a relatively reasonable tone: "Not good. This demon is already very powerful, and now he has subdued that ferocious beast. I'm afraid he is far stronger than us. If we force a fight..."

"Indeed, now that this ferocious beast has appeared here, but Peak Master Baili's situation is unknown, we should reunite with him first."

Wan Ruoxue cooperated and backed out.

After their encounter in the Wu Nian Underground Palace, the Tian Yuan Sword Sect disciples had vaguely sensed that Bai Yuan was injured. They simply didn't know the severity of her injuries. For a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator, even one seriously wounded and near death, extreme caution was required.

Now that Baili Qingfeng is not here, it is naturally inconvenient to start a fight.

present.

Bai Yuan snorted coldly and shouted, "Today, I do not like to see blood, so I will spare you for now. The next time we meet, it will be the day of your death!"

After she finished speaking, she thought about it, and the ferocious white tiger immediately turned around and flew to the other side of the valley.

Watching the three figures walk away.

Wan Ruoxue then sighed, with a look of regret: "What a pity, the devil finally got away."

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

Jiang Rao lowered her eyes, watching the reflection of the jade hairpin on the ice beneath her feet. "That demon must have obtained the means to subdue the ferocious beast from these Wu Nian ruins. The Wu Nian Sect was destroyed overnight a thousand years ago. I'm afraid their techniques and magic weapons must have touched upon the taboos of Heaven, leading to their destruction by the heavens... No matter how powerful the Blood Kite Demon Lord is, could he truly defy Heaven's will?"

——These words are not actually an excuse, but the real hidden worries in Jiang Rao's heart.

She certainly didn't believe Bai Yuan's words yet, nor did she completely give up the idea of ​​"killing her master", but...

If Bai Yuan had died before she found out the truth.

Then her exploration would become meaningless.

At this moment.

The sky was gradually getting darker and the moon was rising from the east mountain.

There was another shaking from the direction of the Wu Nian ruins, accompanied by the roar of a collapsing building.

Wan Ruoxue glanced back and said, "Peak Master Baili is still inside. I'll take some people to check on him. Junior-Martial Brother Jiang, you and Xiao Zhao stay here and see if there are any treasures left behind by the demon. And among the remains of the Qingming Valley cultivators... there might be some healing pills that can be used."

"Yes."

Jiang Rao nodded in agreement.

It was not until Wan Ruoxue led his men away that she raised her head again and glanced in the direction where Bai Yuan and others had just left. Her eyes moved slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

……

Two hundred miles away.

Bai Yuan and his group sped along the mountain road, and gradually stopped when they approached another mountain that rose up like a sharp blade.

After running all the way, the injuries on several people were affected, and the White Tiger beast's breath became increasingly weak. Its huge body, as big as a mountain, swayed, and more and more amber blood flowed out of its wounds. It looked like it was about to die.

If it keeps running like this, Bai Yuan might have to supply it with vitality.

"Hmm...it should be here."

Bai Yuan flipped over and jumped off the tiger's back. He took in the surrounding scenery and said to Ji Tingxue and the others beside him, "Behind the bamboo forest over there is a 'Pure Lotus Pond'. The water inside has healing properties. Let's go there to rest for a while. Once we've recovered, we can continue our journey."

"it is good."

The three men and the tiger walked forward a few more steps and arrived at the "Pure Lotus Pond" that Bai Yuan mentioned.

The pool is very large, probably several hundred square meters. The water inside is surprisingly warm, and steam is rising from it.

The water in the pond is light blue and crystal clear under the bright moonlight. Apart from some water plants and carp, there are large patches of lotus flowers. It is not yet the blooming season for lotus flowers, so most of them are in the form of buds. Paired with the green lotus leaves, they look full of spiritual energy and quite mysterious.

【Cold Fire Pure Lotus】

This is also a high-quality natural treasure. Its lotus leaves can absorb the essence of the sun and moon, and then transform it into spiritual energy with healing properties to feed back into the pool water. Therefore, soaking in this pool water can effectively speed up the recovery of injuries.

"Just go down and take a bath..."

Bai Yuan thought so and put his hands on his clothes. When he was about to unbutton his outer robe, he suddenly stopped and glanced at Bai Hu who was following behind him:

"By the way...is this guy male or female?"

Theoretically, any monster that has lived for more than a thousand years will basically have the ability to transform, or at least partially transform.

Although this white tiger was a bit special, having spent most of its life sealed within the Wu Nian Sect, it wasn't ruled out that it could transform. If it were a female, it wouldn't be a big deal, and being looked at wouldn't be a big deal, but if it were a male...

As Bai Yuan's gaze swept over, Baihu seemed to sense her thoughts and took a step back a little unnaturally, with his thick limbs just blocking the back half of his body.

but……

The effect of the [Concentric Ring] made Bai Yuan think and get the answer he wanted.

"That's okay."

At that moment, Bai Yuan took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of blue and white underwear produced by the system. He first scooped up water with his hands and washed the blood stains on his body.

When the pool water with a green glow came into contact with the wound, it immediately condensed into tiny lotus buds, and then green smoke rose, and the hideous wound began to heal.

After cleaning the blood stains, Bai Yuan covered his chest with his hands and slowly walked into the lotus pond.

When the water reached her waist, Ye Shuang'er jumped down naked. With the sound of "splashing", she hugged Bai Yuan from behind, pressing her wet cheek against her smooth back. "Master's waist is still so slender. It feels so soft and fragrant when I hold it. It feels so good... Her butterfly bones are so beautiful too, like they are made of jade. I want to take a bite of them."

Chapter 66: Hot Spring Water Washes Away the Fat (First Update)

Bai Yuan's body tensed slightly.

It wasn't like she hadn't been honest with Ye Shuang'er before. Previously, when they were outside the secret realm, the little girl had helped her bathe. But those times were in a wooden tub, and they only rubbed her back, so the visible body was limited. But now, in the lotus pond, her entire body was visible.

In particular, Ye Shuang'er was also naked at the moment, and her body was tightly pressed against her back, bringing a warm and soft touch. From the water surface, one could even clearly see that her chest was squeezed flat.

The hot air exhaled gently from the little girl's mouth also hit Bai Yuan's shoulders, making her face blush unconsciously.

"...Master now has a body of pure ice and jade, so naturally there are differences from before."

"Okay, get up quickly. It won't be too hot to hug each other."

After Bai Yuan's persuasion, Ye Shuang'er finally let go of her arms, then dived into the water with a smile.

"Wow--"

Along with the sound of water, Bai Yuan saw the little girl's fair and delicate body swimming like a fish.

Talk about it.

Ye Shuang'er grew up in a fishing village, so she is quite good at swimming. This is a rare opportunity for her to play in the water. She swam around in the lotus pond, blowing bubbles. Her fair body and the green lotus leaves complemented each other, and occasionally a few bright red spots could be seen, forming a colorful picture that was beautiful beyond words.

Well... don't get me wrong, this crimson refers to the collar around the neck.

Bai Yuan squatted in the pool and looked at his little disciple's figure from an appreciative angle for a while.

Then I heard the rustling sound of clothes coming from the poolside.

Turn around.

Ji Tingxue took off her outer robe, and her inner garment woven from ice silk revealed faint frost patterns in the steaming mist, as if she was wearing the entire Milky Way on her body.

Compared to Ye Shuang'er, her steps into the pool were much lighter, like a sheet of falling white snow. As Bai Yuan swam closer, he saw the muscles in her shoulders suddenly tense. Several lotus petals, condensed by the sword energy of [Against the Cold Water], flew through the air, and the surrounding water briefly froze.

"Why, you need to bring a sword to the hot spring? Do you want me to help you with the wound on your back?"

Bai Yuan leaned on the edge of the pond with one arm propped up, looked at him and said with a smile.

"...After all, we are still in the secret realm, so it's better to take precautions."

"No need, I can do it myself."

Ji Tingxue responded softly to Bai Yuan's two questions, then sat down beside the jade-like stone in the pool, soaking only her lower body in the lake water. She scooped up the water in her hands and poured it over the wound on her arm. The moonlight outlined the beautiful contours of her butterfly bones.

Speaking of which...

Ji Tingxue's willingness to enter the water in front of Bai Yuan and Ye Shuang'er spoke volumes about their relationship, having been quietly drawn into the water several times they encountered danger. If it were the first time they encountered this, she would most likely have gotten some pool water herself and found a deserted spot to use it.

And Bai Yuan swam over not, at least not entirely, to admire the picture of the Ji family saint taking a bath.

There is another reason——

Theoretically, Ji Tingxue is now both taking a hot spring bath and "making tea".

However, because there was too much water in the pool, Ji Tingxue did not completely go into the water, and the contact area between her body and the pool water was limited, the taste of the "Ancient Tea of ​​Enlightenment" was very light. It was estimated that drinking a sip would not even add 2 points to the enlightenment value.
