In Xianxia With The Investment Return System, Starting My Journey by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple - Chapter 43.2: Give Yanran an essential oil back

“Oh no, I was sweating during our earlier sparring. I hope Master won’t mind! But Master is so gentle, it seems like he doesn’t mind… I’m falling in love with Master…”

After a good half-hour, Chen Daoxuan had completely used up the spiritual liquid. He let out a long breath.

“Alright, I’ve eliminated the hidden issues left behind in the Void Sky Realm. By the way, I also helped clear your meridians a bit. You’ll feel the effects during your cultivation. I’ll leave you now. Afterward, you should go to the Spirit Pool Hall, cleanse yourself, and soak for a while.”

Chen Daoxuan stood up, reluctantly tearing his gaze away from his disciple’s smooth and flawless back. Without looking back, he left the room.

Before, he was completely focused on clearing her meridians and eradicating hidden issues. His mind was crystal clear. However, now that everything was done, he was genuinely worried that he might lose control at any moment due to his disciple’s innate charm.

After Chen Daoxuan departed, Leng Yanran slowly sat up on the bed, gazing at the closed door, lost in thought.

“Could it be that Master has no intention of me in that way?”

Although a tinge of disappointment flickered within her, she quickly reminded herself that she would have plenty of opportunities to spend time with her master in the future. Her eyes lit up again at the thought.

She reached for her dress, intending to head to the Spirit Pool Hall for a soak. However, her hand froze in mid-air.

“Ah!!! How embarrassing, so embarrassing…”

Suddenly, a realization struck Leng Yanran, and she let out a startled cry, clenching her fists in regret.

Master only wanted her to expose her back, yet she had misunderstood his intentions. However, last time in the Spirit Pool Hall, she had been seen by Master anyway. Seeing her again… wouldn’t be a big deal!

In fact, she wished Master would want to see her! After coming to terms with her mistake, Leng Yanran finally accepted her colossal blunder She put on her dress and went off to soak in the Spirit Pool Hall, feeling rather dejected

Outside the Heavenly Dao Hall, by a small pavilion, Chen Daoxuan absentmindedly traced his fingers as the scene from earlier continued to linger in his mind. Just then, the Enlightenment Tea Tree beside him swayed slightly.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Chen Daoxuan snapped back to attention, curious about the tree’s behavior. The Enlightenment Tea Tree seemed rather indignant. And he asked what’s wrong?

Just a moment ago, it was basking in the sunlight, feeling like the happiest and luckiest tree in the world. But suddenly, “crack!”—a sound, and a portion of its branches were gone! Although they would grow back eventually, it hurt!

[Master, next time you need a branch, could you please give Chacha a heads-up!]

[Unexpectedly losing a branch without any preparation is quite frightening for Chacha!]

“Ahem, understood, I’ll be more careful next time.

Chen Daoxuan twitched at the corner of his mouth, realizing it was about that incident. He had been hasty…
