Chen Changqing couldn't help but feel amused seeing Lin Yaoyao storm into her room in anger.
Who would have thought that this useless uncle-teacher would be so ungrateful, not only relentlessly pursuing but also brandishing a teaching whip.
What do you want?
What exactly do you intend to do?
Chen Changqing's eyes narrowed as he watched his young uncle-teacher holding the whip. Uncle, are you seriously thinking of using that on Lin Yaoyao?
Do you even have what it takes?
"Is this young uncle-teacher really going to take action?" Chen Changqing's face darkened.
He gritted his teeth secretly, determined to rush in and rescue his younger sister the moment she cried for help!
Then, he would smoothly win the heart of the beautiful maiden.
A perfect plan!
Lin Yaoyao, you'll never escape my grasp.
...
"Master, what are you doing?" Lin Yaoyao's voice was cold as she stared at the whip in Ye Kong's hand.
As an Empress, her senses were extraordinary, and she could sense that the whip was not ordinary.
"Disciple, I want to spur you on!" Ye Kong's face was somewhat embarrassed.
He wanted to apologize to Yaoyao, but as her master, he found it difficult to say the words.
"Spur me on?" Lin Yaoyao's face grew even colder.
How dare you!
Even though you're my master and have the authority to discipline me, as an Empress, how could I let you strike me without losing face?
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, just as it closed the door behind Ye Kong.
Finding himself in his disciple's boudoir, Ye Kong could smell the delicate fragrance, refreshing his senses.
"Master, please leave." Lin Yaoyao gave Ye Kong one last chance.
Otherwise, she would demonstrate her ability to suppress her master with a single hand!
As an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, how dare you act recklessly in front of an Empress?
Thinking of being whipped by a teaching whip?
Even if you're my master, you can't hit me!
"Disciple, I'm sorry." Ye Kong sighed. "Trust me, your master is doing this for your own good. It'll only take three breaths."
"Master, even if I jump off the Free and Easy Peak today and shatter into pieces, I will never let you use that whip on me!"
Snap!
Lin Yaoyao's eyes seemed to spark with fury.
Just then, Ye Kong abruptly raised the whip and struck Lin Yaoyao's palm.
Caught off guard, Lin Yaoyao didn't expect her master to actually strike her...
Snap!
A faint whip mark appeared on Lin Yaoyao's palm.
Lin Yaoyao was shocked!
As an Empress, her status was unparalleled, and who dare strike her, let alone on the palm of her hand?
This was outrageous!
I'm furious!
Lin Yaoyao gritted her teeth, feeling an intense urge to tear her master apart!
However, at that moment, Ye Kong swung the whip again.
"Stop!"
Lin Yaoyao's body erupted with a radiant aura of blue light, preparing to attack her master.
Snap!
The whip descended once more, shattering the blue aura that enveloped Lin Yaoyao's body.
"Disciple, focus on circulating your Qi and savor the essence of swordplay!"
At that instant, Ye Kong's voice resounded like a grand bell in Lin Yaoyao's mind.
Circulate Qi?
Lin Yaoyao suddenly discovered a surge of abundant Qi flowing into her palm, tingling and extremely soothing.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Ye Kong's expression remained unchanged as he relentlessly whipped his disciple's palm with the teaching whip.
Streams of spiritual energy poured into Lin Yaoyao's spiritual sea.
Moreover, Lin Yaoyao found herself in an incredibly clear-minded state, as if she had stepped into the realm of enlightenment!
The realm of enlightenment, a dream sought after by countless cultivators throughout their lives.
According to legends in the "Record of Cultivation," entering the realm of enlightenment could lead to instant breakthroughs and enlightenment in a single day!
Previously, Lin Yaoyao had been unable to comprehend the second volume of "Dusk of the Galaxy Cycle Sword," but now, it was instantly clear to her!
Countless sword intents became crystal clear in her mind!
"Master, please continue to spur me on!"
Lin Yaoyao was overwhelmed with excitement!
The realm of enlightenment was something one could encounter but not necessarily attain!
"Soothing~"
In the realm of enlightenment, every thought led to understanding, aiding in cultivation.
This was the effect of the divine artifact—the Blissful Whip!
Lin Yaoyao's palm was red and swollen, her eyes shimmering with joy as she immersed herself in the realm of enlightenment, feeling like she was basking in warm sunlight.
Snap, snap, snap, snap...
Finally, the Blissful Whip dimmed, requiring several days to recover its full power.
"Thank you, Master. Today, not only have I broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but I've also comprehended the first three levels of the sword technique. Thank you, Master, for your kindness." Lin Yaoyao's eyes were filled with regret for misunderstanding her master.
Such a precious artifact, used once, would take immense effort to restore its spiritual essence.
"It's alright. Continue to cultivate diligently and never slack off." Ye Kong said calmly, putting away the Blissful Whip.
With a wave of his hand, the door flew open.
Outside, Chen Changqing's face was a colorful mix of emotions.
He had been eavesdropping, planning to rush in the moment Yaoyao called for help.
But to his surprise, the woman...
After initially refusing, she had...
Women!
Chen Changqing felt a sense of emptiness within him.
Why did Lin Yaoyao...
All because Ye Kong was more handsome than him? Besides that, what did he have? What was he, really?
Chen Changqing felt like crying.
As the door opened, he saw Lin Yaoyao's flushed face and joyful eyes, filling him with even more resentment!
"Chen nephew, what brings you to my disciple's door?" Ye Kong asked calmly.
Chen Changqing's face contorted, and after a long pause, he muttered,
"Shameless!"
With that, Chen Changqing sleeved his arms and left.
In three months, during the Great Competition among the peaks, he would make sure to crush the Free and Easy Peak!
To uphold righteousness!
Ye Kong was perplexed. What was this guy up to? He was just helping his disciple with her cultivation.
Oh, I see. It must be because I helped my disciple and not Chen nephew, so he's jealous.
As an elder, it's difficult to treat everyone equally. It's truly challenging.
...
"Master, that beast's bloodline is terrifying, reaching the level of a Yuan Ying cultivator. We can't capture it." Qin Shou reported with a defeated expression.
The Master of the Beast Taming Peak's eyes lit up. "Such a marvelous creature has appeared on the Free and Easy Peak."
"Remain calm, disciples. I will bring the treasure of our ancestors and set out tonight to capture that little black ant."
"Master, we've failed twice already. The Free and Easy Peak must be prepared. Do you have a detailed plan?" Qin Shou continued.
Master Qin Wuyi of the Beast Taming Peak pondered for a moment, aware that the defensive arrays of the peaks were not to be trifled with.
"I'll first find a pretext, using the guise of catching up on old times to drug the Master of the Free and Easy Peak, rendering him unable to activate the array."
"Then, you and I will strike, sealing off the Free and Easy Peak. That little black ant won't be able to call for help even if it screams its lungs out!" Qin Wuyi took out his personally brewed lavender oil, a confident smile playing on his lips.
