--- Chapter 210 ---
"Mmm~!"
An ambiguous noise comes from Mu Bingyun's voice.
Yu Long sighed, "Can you calm down? I'm just extracting Ancient Horned Dragon's Poison from your body, nothing else."
"I-I'm sorry." Mu Bingyun blushed a little.
Even though she was known for being cold toward others and trained [Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon] all her life, the sensation of getting poison sucked from your veins is too euphoric.
It felt like Yu Long was touching her sensitive spots!
Yes, something she had never felt in her entire adult life before as the [Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon] numbed her body with extreme coldness as far as she knew.
Yet her body wasn't so numb when Yu Long touched it.
'I thought I wasn't interested in men...' She breathed heavily and tried her best not to sound racy. 'But it might be because I never find the right man.'
Yu Long didn't know what Mu Bingyun was thinking. However, if he knew, he probably gave her a weird look.
Woman, you're too eccentric.
Of course, Yu Long's lovers and maid are different. They could read Mu Bingyun's body language better.
Thirty minutes later.
Yu Long stopped holding Mu Bingyun's fair hand. He has gotten rid of the Ancient Horen Dragon's poison from her body and also harvested some Ice Phoenix's blood.
From what Yu Long briefly observed, Ice Phoenix isn't just the opposite of Fire Phoenix but also a wielder of Primordial Aspect that encapsulates more than just ice elements.
After all, a coldness that can't freeze basically anything, including space and time, can't be ordinary.
Yu Long glanced at Mu Bingyun's flushed appearance, 'I don't know if Ice Phoenix realized what Profound Art she was making, but she's definitely a powerful expert in the Primordial Era of Gods.'
'Unfortunately, her bloodline inheritor is only this much.'
Of course, this is only Yu Long's perspective. He likes to determine one's strength not from a cultivation base but essence mastery, whether it was elemental control or weapon-manship instead.
In fact, Mu Bingyun is quite a fighter despite not liking to take lives.
She's a Divine Sovereign Realm Expert! That put her one realm away from the peak of Seven Divine Realms, Divine Master Realm.
"Do you also need treatment?" Yu Long asked Mu Xiaolan.
The fairy-like young lady was startled.
"Ah, um." Mu Xiaolan doesn't know what to say.
"C-Can you check my body, Young Lord?"
The ladies raised their eyebrows when Mu Xiaolan said that. Even Shizu didn't expect this girl to be this brave.
'Maybe she was thrilled by what might happen and wanted to do a mile more.' Shizu thought to herself. She unknowingly has created another fanatic of Yu Long.
Mu Xiaolan bit her lips because she never felt like this. People called her beauty in her Homestar all the time, and she could understand their adoration as she was a rare beauty.
Yet Mu Xiaolan felt like those people for the first time today.
Yu Long is handsome, strong, and has this rugged yet mysterious air around him. Such traits are irresistible to an innocent young maiden like Mu Xiaolan, and even more so because she never had a relationship with the opposite gender.
It's like the Frozen Cloud Asgard all over again.
Yu Long overlooked Mu Xiaolan's ambiguous reply and asked to check her body to find Ice Phoenix's other traits. Mu Bingyun is older and has fused with Ice Phoenix's bloodline longer, so her connection with it is much more mature.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaolan is a young lady who hasn't even reached her twenty, and her bond with Ice Phoenix's bloodline is immature.
As Yu Long thought, Mu Xiaolan's bloodline is 70% less active than Mu Bingyun's. However, that also means she could improve it more.
Mu Bingyun also mentioned Mu Xiaolan had a 'special' physique earlier, so it could help Ice Phoenix's bloodline to grow.
The more he observed the Ice Phoenix's bloodline, the more fascinated Yu Long became. Yu Long has planned to use Ice Phoenix's Bloodline with Fire Phoenix's Bloodline to see what surprising result he could get.
On top of that, Yu Long's mind is racing to see if Ice Phoenix's bloodline could help him improve [Art of True Apex]. He's also considering upgrading Chu Yueli's [Altered Ice Phoenix's Bloodline].
After a few minutes, Yu Long released Mu Xiaolan's soft hand and commented, "There is nothing wrong with you."
"However, I recommend you to take a medicinal bath every three days to increase the activity of your 'special' physique and Ice Phoenix's bloodline."
"Oh, and the medicinal bath should be prescribed with Yin and Water Attribute Materials."
"This... Do you have a prescription we can use, Young Lord?" Mu Bingyun asked politely. Although she has learned about medicine to find a way to cure the Ancient Horned Dragon's Poison, she knew nothing about the medicinal baths.
Yu Long extended his hand to Shizu, "Paper."
"Here, master." Shizu smiled and materialized a piece of white paper from thin air. She even made a quill for Yu Long to write.
Yu Long wrote some recipes that Mu Xiaolan could use one after another and handed the paper to Mu Bingyun. Mu Bingyun thankfully took the paper and read the content.
Mu Bingyun's eyes widened because some medicinal herbs were just mortal-grade ingredients in the upper realm, no different from random weeds on the street.
Heck! Mu Bingyun was sure some of these were feeds for livestock in the upper realm.
"What's the matter? Are you doubting me?" Yu Long felt Mu Bingyun's confusion and smiled at her.
Mu Bingyun lowered her head slightly and unconsciously showed Yu Long her cleavage. "I didn't dare to doubt you, Young Lord. But these herbs seem unorthodox."
"Because they are." Yu Long replied casually.
"Not everything in the world has to be heavenly and rare. Sometimes, something on the corner of your eyes can be effective."
"You will be surprised to know that many people ditched ordinary grasses like those herbs and insisted on using expensive medicine made with limited materials."
"As long as it works fine, I don't see why I shouldn't use it."
Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan were fascinated by Yu Long's words. They felt his vision was unique and very different from those snotty young masters in the upper realm.
"By the way, my words earlier also applied to people." Yu Long put on a meaningful expression.
Mu Bingyun hurriedly replied, "I understand, Young Lord."
"Do you really understand?" Yu Long leaned on his chair comfortably.
"Yes." Mu Bingyun replied resolutely.
She patted her disciple's shoulder, "Xiaolan, be a good girl and thank the Young Lord for giving us this prescription and life lesson."
"Thank you, Young Lord." Mu Xiaolan bowed with gleaming eyes. It seems she has made up her mind.
Yu Long nodded pleasantly, "Good. You can stay in the Divine Phoenix Palace for the next couple of days. If you find the atmosphere too hot, you can move to the Frozen Cloud Asgard, and I will find you after my business ends."
"No, Young Lord. We don't mind the warmth!" Mu Xiaolan replied with an 'infatuated' smile. "We'd like to stay here."
"Right, Master?"
Mu Bingyun awkwardly agreed with her disciple's words, "Yes, Young Lord. I think this warmth is perfect."
'I think you two are thinking about two different heats.' The other ladies in the room commented internally.
Xia Qingyue and Cang Yue facepalmed. They learned just how desperate women in the cultivation world can be.
"Okay, that's it for now." Yu Long stood up from his seat.
"Qingyue, Xuero, let's have breakfast-! Well, maybe brunch is the proper word for the current time."
"Sure." Qianye Xingyue and Cang Yue also stood up.
After that, the trio left the room.
Shizu waited a while before opening her mouth, "So, what do you think, Bingyun, Xiaolan?"
"My master is awesome, right?"
"Serving him isn't a bad choice at all."
"Mm." Mu Bingyun could only nod dumbly. She was still thinking about Yu Long's touch earlier.
Mu Xiaolan fumbled with fingers and asked, "Mistress, when can we start?"
"Shush, don't call me that from now on." Shizu sealed Mu Xiaolan's soft lips with her index finger. "Or Master would punish me."
"N-Noted." Mu Xiaolan's breath becomes slightly haggard.
"As for when you can start..." Shizu thoughtfully rubbed her chin.
"It depends on the Master. If you're lucky, he will bring you to his next destination, the Illusory Demon Realm."
"Aw..." Mu Xiaolan was 'actually' sad when hearing her reply.
Shizu giggled, "Don't worry. We can start your maid lesson."
"Let's see... We can start on how to wake Master in the morning."
