Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 73: 73. The role model of the educational community,

Chapter 73: 73. The role model of the educational community, the model worker of the ntor community.

Fang Zhou could now distinctly feel Ling Xiaoyue’s highly annoyed and irritated emotions.

Previously, he would have definitely made a sarcastic remark or two, but this ti Ling Xiaoyue had expended Spiritual Energy to cleanse his marrow and channels, wishing him a joyful growth. How could he be sarcastic to such a good ntor?

One for all, all for one. Since Ling Xiaoyue treated so well, how could I be rude to her?

Definitely not because I was beaten up by her. This is not about being cowardly; it’s about fundantal human decency and gratitude.

Thus, Fang Zhou respectfully bowed to Ling Xiaoyue and greeted, “Master, good evening.”

You should know that Fang Zhou would never take the initiative to call soone ‘Master’ before, unless it was dangerous. His willingness to do it now shows the great sacrifice he’s made.

Ling Xiaoyue still had a stern face and glared at Fang Zhou with annoyance, but he could clearly feel her mood lifting.

Serious on the surface, but she couldn’t suppress the corners of her mouth from wildly turning up.

Fang Zhou felt, truly, a tsundere master, making such huge sacrifices and contributions for the disciple, yet not vying for credit or status, silently maintaining the strict teacher persona, indeed a paragon in the educational world, a model for ntors.

Through the connection of their hearts, Fang Zhou sent his admiration towards her like an endless flowing river, and could distinctly feel Ling Xiaoyue becoming even happier.

Ling Xiaoyue knew that under this heart-to-heart connection, it was really impossible to scare this guy.

Her mood was joyous, she could no longer keep a straight face, and could only shout at Fang Zhou, “Do you really think your flattery will work on your master? Get over here, now.”

After all, he’s my own disciple. As a model in the educational realm and a model for ntors, there’s no need to stoop to arguing with one’s own disciple.

Fang Zhou promptly walked over, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Calling her ‘Master’ was worth it; it seed he was not going to get beaten up again.

At this ti, Han Li had just hurried over. She feared she would see Senior Ling beating up her disciple again, but to her relief, both master and disciple seed normal.

Ling Xiaoyue patted her Longsword embedded in the ground and said, “That Tree Demon is transforming into human form and will soon be after us. I plan to set up a grand formation within Lanruo Temple to eliminate it entirely.”

Upon seeing the task wasn’t completed, Fang Zhou knew the Tree Demon hadn’t died. He had been worried that Ling Xiaoyue would leave the matter as it was, but now hearing her plan to completely get rid of the Tree Demon, he felt relieved.

Ling Xiaoyue looked at Fang Zhou, “I need to focus on dealing with the Tree Demon without disturbance. You’ll handle its seven demon minions. You must hold them off for at least three days. If you fail, I’ll simply leave, and you can stay behind to be toyed with. I’ll co to collect your corpse.”

Fang Zhou and Han Li were both startled. It required as long as three days?

He wondered, “Isn’t the Tree Demon less troubleso now that it has lost its Golden Core?”

Ling Xiaoyue glared at Fang Zhou with irritation, “Whose fault do you think it is? I could have easily dealt with it, but you, this annoying brat, weakened , making resort to this strategy. Three days too slow for you? You try then!”

Fang Zhou could feel Ling Xiaoyue’s mounting anger and quickly pleaded, “Calm down, calm down. Leave those seven ‘Calabash Brothers’ to . You just focus on dealing with the Tree Demon. If there’s anything you need, just let know.”

After speaking, Fang Zhou quickly pulled Han Li away, so as not to stay and provoke Ling Xiaoyue further.

Despite Ling Xiaoyue’s usual indifferent deanor, she could be quite volatile when angry.

After Fang Zhou was long gone, Ling Xiaoyue finally reined in her anger, jumped onto a treetop nearby to lie down, took off the wine flask around her waist, and took a satisfying sip.

Had it not been for the need to help Fang Zhou deal with troubles, Ling Xiaoyue had no interest in such botherso matters and would have slipped away long ago.

Fang Zhou brought Han Li outside, where she asked with considerable worry, “Those demons possess formidable mana and mysterious abilities, how are we to delay them for three days?”

Han Li used the word ‘we’ instead of ‘you,’ which touched Fang Zhou deeply.

After escaping from Lanruo Temple, Han Li could have left imdiately, not being involved in the subsequent trouble at all, yet she chose to stay and help without looking back.

Fang Zhou expressed his gratitude to Han Li, “This trouble is caused by us ntor and apprentice, and yet you are implicated. I truly feel remorseful.”

Han Li earnestly said, “If you consider a friend, how could I stand aside? Besides, it is partly my fault for believing rumors and leading you into danger here. I have a responsibility, so it’s incumbent upon .”

With that, she chuckled bitterly, “Of course, my strength is insignificant. I can’t offer much help, at most contribute a mite of my feeble effort.”

Fang Zhou disagreed with Han Li’s self-assessnt of weakness; with her two mystical artifacts at her side, she also represented a combat unit that couldn’t be overlooked.

However, even with Han Li’s help, they seed to have no advantage over the seven Calabash Brothers.

Although Fang Zhou grew much stronger after receiving the empowernt from Ling Xiaoyue, he didn’t believe he could defeat the seven Calabash Brothers.

At best, his strength was on par with the eldest brother, his speed far surpassed hers; the second and sixth brothers lacked combat power; the third was difficult to handle; the fourth and fifth were very dangerous; and the youngest without the calabash was just a child.

If the seven Calabash Brothers ca at him all at once, Fang Zhou felt his only option would be to flee.

Of course, Fang Zhou had his advantages too, such as the seventh brother’s calabash treasure which was now in his possession, and the Calabash Brothers certainly had no idea that he could now use it.

If used well, this asymtry of information could potentially be the key to victory.

The problem was, the calabash treasure wasn’t omnipotent. Despite its reputation for unerringly collecting anything, its attractive force wasn’t that strong. Fang Zhou himself, supported by Hu Lai’s left hand, could resist being absorbed, so it was even easier for the Calabash Brothers to deal with it, undoubtedly having more experience with the calabash.

Fang Zhou contemplated, took out the calabash, and tried to absorb sothing as a test but realized it didn’t work anymore.

He was startled; if the calabash was unusable, that would be a serious problem.

He urgently fiddled with the calabash, seeking the problem – why it worked just now but not anymore.

Soon enough, Fang Zhou discovered the issue.

Using the calabash required spiritual energy, and a substantial amount at that. Before, Fang Zhou’s body was filled with a great deal of Yin Cold Spiritual Energy from the Golden Core, which the calabash absorbed as activation energy.

Now, the Yin Cold Spiritual Energy in Fang Zhou’s body was sealed, and all the spiritual energy he had was his own, which the calabash couldn’t detect, thus it couldn’t be used.

Currently, Fang Zhou was only at Qi Refining Realm Perfection. Without having reached Foundation Establishnt, he couldn’t project his spiritual energy outside his body, nor could he feed it into the calabash.

This wasn’t a difficult problem to solve. When sealing the Golden Core, Ling Xiaoyue deliberately left a weak spot to let out the Yin Cold Spiritual Energy of the Golden Core, allowing Fang Zhou to refine and assimilate it for his own use.
