“Oh my~”
Master giggled, covering her mouth delicately. “Oh dear, oh dear, why is it that in the blink of an eye, my stinky disciple has the scent of another woman on him?”
Xiang’er’s little nose wrinkled slightly, and she couldn’t help but pout.
“It’s true. There’s the fragrance of another girl.”
Chen Yin: “?”
…Do you two have dog noses?
Speaking of which, did he really have a scent on him?
Did that little fox Luo Luo have a natural fox scent?
“You must be mistaken. How could I possibly have the scent of a woman on ?”
“Really?”
Master suddenly winked slyly. “Why do I feel like I just… didn’t see soone in his room?”
“Could it be that you sneaked out to fool around while Xiang’er was away?”
Chen Yin couldn’t help but glare at Master.
You perverted loli granny, stirring up trouble!
Xiang’er’s eyes gradually darkened, and her gaze towards Chen Yin even carried a hint of killing intent.
Chen Yin instantly felt a chill down his spine.
…This is bad.
At that mont, Master’s voice transmission echoed in his mind:
“Hehe, how is it? Caught by Xiang’er for visiting brothels and drinking with other won?”
“It just so happens that Master is a little short on money. If you give three jars of Fragrant Jade Brew… I might be able to help you out.”
Three jars? Why don’t you just rob ?! Chen Yin almost cursed.
This damned Master went out to eat, drink, and be rry every day, spending money lavishly. The wine she drank was all the most expensive immortal brew, costing hundreds of spirit stones per jar.
And she loved to buy on credit, always making Chen Yin pay for it with the ager spirit stones he earned from running errands for the sect.
Fragrant Jade Brew was even more expensive, three jars would probably cost him two months’ worth of errands.
Chen Yin didn’t know if she was truly broke or just stingy.
But in any case, whenever this topic ca up, he would be furious.
“One jar! At most, I’ll endure Xiang’er ignoring for two days.” He gritted his teeth.
“Deal.”
The next mont, Master’s expression changed as she said with a grin:
“Plot twist! I actually sent him out to buy sothing! It was just a joke for Xiang’er!”
Yu Xiang looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Chen Yin could only smile awkwardly along.
“Hmph. Fine, don’t tell then.”
Xiang’er glanced at them resentfully and turned her head away.
Chen Yin could only change the subject. “Speaking of which…”
“Why did Master co to find us?”
“Oh, just to inform you.” Master said casually. “In two days, you can set off for the Number One Fairy Conference on your own.”
“I’ll be going on a journey starting tomorrow. I’m not sure when I’ll be back.”
Tomorrow? Chen Yin was surprised. “So soon?”
“Why,” she suddenly leaned in front of Chen Yin, her eyes twinkling mischievously. “Master hasn’t even left yet, and you already miss ?”
“…You wish. I’d rather you never co back.”
Master pouted and said casually, “Take care of yourselves while I’m gone.”
“I have a bad temper and can’t stand seeing my disciples being bullied.”
“If anyone dares to bully us, fight back. If they call for backup, use my na.”
“Rember?” She glanced at the two of them.
Chen Yin was stunned for a mont, then nodded with a smile.
“Understood.”
…Master was a softie at heart, despite her sharp tongue. She still cared about them.
“Oh right, if you offend an old monster that even I can’t beat, then quickly find a place to die and don’t drag down!”
…Sorry, I take back what I said before.
After giving her instructions, Master was about to leave when Xiang’er suddenly asked:
“Master, wait a mont.”
“I heard passing cultivators talking while I was in Flowing Cloud City. They said you seed to have destroyed a demonic branch altar there?”
Chen Yin’s hand stiffened abruptly.
…This is bad.
“Is that… true?” Xiang’er looked at Master, blinking innocently.
Master’s eyes flickered imperceptibly.
Just as Chen Yin was worried that they would be exposed, he heard Master’s nonchalant voice:
“Yes. What about it?”
“Those demonic bastards didn’t know their place and dared to establish a branch altar right under my nose. I found it an eyesore, so I casually got rid of it.”
Chen Yin looked at her with surprise, but Master’s expression remained unchanged.
Her tone was as casual as if she had just stepped on an ant.
Yu Xiang was silent for a mont, then stuck out her tongue playfully.
“As expected of Master, you’re so amazing.”
“It’s just a small matter, nothing to be surprised about.” Master glanced at the two of them again. “I’ll be going back now if there’s nothing else.”
“Okay, take care, Master.”

After Master left, Chen Yin breathed a sigh of relief and said casually:
“Hah. That loli granny is finally gone.”
“At least I don’t have to clean up her sses all the ti now.”
Yu Xiang was washing the teacups, lost in thought.
“…Senior Brother.”
“Hmm?”
“Do you… really have another woman out there?”
Chen Yin froze, forcing a smile. “What are you thinking? I’m devoted to Xiang’er—”
“I’m serious.”
Xiang’er suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Yin intently.
“It’s okay if Senior Brother really has a girl he likes.”
“I’m your Little Junior Sister, of course I’ll bless you.”
She smiled. “Anyway, I’m not your Dao Companion. Why do you have to be so sentintal?”
Chen Yin’s hand, which was reaching out, stopped in midair.
After a mont, he turned his head. “Are you serious about that?”
Xiang’er suddenly panicked.
Chen Yin’s face took on an expression she had never seen before, as he looked at her calmly and asked:
“Xiang’er thinks that Senior Brother is just being sentintal, right?”
“Even if Senior Brother really has another woman, Xiang’er wouldn’t mind, right?”
“Senior Brother, I didn’t…”
Xiang’er’s eyes beca flustered as she stamred, trying to explain.
She felt it.
Senior Brother seed to be truly angry.
Although he didn’t show it on his face, Yu Xiang instinctively felt a pang of panic, as if sothing was missing in her chest.
Chen Yin’s eyes were filled with a sadness that Yu Xiang had never seen before.
She suddenly felt scared.
“Senior Brother, I didn’t an to make you angry—”
“I’m not angry.” Chen Yin shook his head. “I just think Xiang’er is right.”
“Maybe it’s just being sentintal.”
“But I’m different. I can’t be like Xiang’er.”
He looked into Xiang’er’s eyes seriously and said, “If Xiang’er one day has soone else she likes…”
“…Then Senior Brother will be very sad.”
Yu Xiang felt as if her throat was choked.
Chen Yin silently finished washing the teacups with Xiang’er, then casually said, “I’m going for a walk,” and left the hut.
As soon as he left, Yu Xiang almost reached out to stop him.
As if she would lose him if she didn’t hold onto him.
But the next mont, the System’s voice echoed in her ears:
“Wake up.”
“You and him are impossible.”
“You’re destined to fight Shen Shuanglian to the death.”
“If you don’t complete the System’s missions according to the plot records, even if you’re with him, you’ll only end up killing him.”
Yu Xiang’s hand froze in midair.
After a mont, she slowly retracted her hand, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Large teardrops fell silently.
“But…”
She covered her mouth desperately, tears blurring her vision. “I really can’t bear to lose Senior Brother…”
Seeing this, the System couldn’t say anything more and just sighed softly.
“Alas. Being chosen by the System isn’t necessarily a good thing.”
“It’s not easy for you either.”

On the cliff of Mount Yu.
Chen Yin looked at the sea of clouds below, silent.
After a mont, Master’s voice sounded from behind:
“Not going to comfort her? You made Xiang’er cry.”
Chen Yin slowly shook his head.
“So knots need to be untied by Xiang’er herself.”
…Since he was reborn, he would definitely prevent the tragedy from happening this ti.
But if Xiang’er herself was unwilling to accept help, then no matter how hard he tried, it would be futile.
“You’re pretending to be nonchalant, huh.” Master pouted. “What if Xiang’er really falls in love with soone else in the future?”
Chen Yin thought for a mont and said seriously:
“Then I’ll probably beat that person up and snatch Xiang’er back.”
“Pfft, haha. So unreasonable, I didn’t know you were so possessive.”
Master teased, “That’s not very appealing to girls, you know.”
“I don’t care.”
Chen Yin’s eyes suddenly lowered.
“I’ve already experienced the pain of losing Xiang’er once.”
“…I don’t want to experience it again.”
Master didn’t say anything more.
She stood beside him, watching the sea of clouds below.
For a while, only the sound of the wind filled their ears.
“Master, aren’t you going to ask why it’s the second ti?” Chen Yin suddenly asked.
“Didn’t you also not ask why I said I destroyed the demonic branch altar?” Master countered.
Chen Yin was stunned for a mont, then smiled silently.
“…In that case, thank you for your understanding, Master.”
The little loli didn’t show any expression, just waved her hand casually. “It’s fine. Just rember to offer a few jars of good wine as a tribute.”
The sea of clouds churned and rolled.
Suddenly, Master’s voice beca unusually serious:
“Listen carefully.”
“Don’t let anyone steal Xiang’er away.”
“The people on our Mount Yu should keep the good things for ourselves.”
Chen Yin smiled and nodded. “Then I’ll follow Master’s orders.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make Xiang’er mine.”
“From the sound of it,” Master said, glaring at him playfully, “You’re not planning on having just Xiang’er in your harem, are you?”
“Ahem… A man shouldn’t waste his youth, right?”
Chen Yin coughed, brazenly saying, “Although I have no intention of picking flowers, I can’t help being charming and irresistible. If a fairy throws herself at , my ntal fortitude might not be able to resist.”
Recalling a certain unpleasant experience, Chen Yin suddenly shuddered.
“What if I accidentally give in and bring back a few more concubines to the mountain? Master won’t be jealous, will you?”
“Tch, , jealous of you?”
Master glanced at him disdainfully. “Look at your little bean sprout, it’s not even enough to fill the gap between my teeth.”
“You can bring them back, but they’ll have to pay for their own living expenses. And rember to charge your beauties rent. Mount Yu doesn’t accept freeloaders.”
“…Master, you’re still jealous, aren’t you?”
“If you dare tease Master again, believe , I’ll solve your harem problem with a single slash and save you the trouble.”
“…I was wrong.”
