All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 156: Don’t Be Afraid, Disciples—Your Master Will Carry You (48)

Half a year later, Ye Huai Feng’s Spirit Root was mostly healed, and the initially small segment had grown considerably.

The cracks had also fully healed, with the scars nearly fading away.

Ye Huai Feng had already begun cultivation months ago, even though he hadn’t fully recovered. His cultivation speed was exceptionally fast. However, he still needed to temper his Spirit Root during cultivation, so his advancement wasn’t very swift.

Even so, he had reached the Golden Core Stage.

The term "cultivation" merely referred to recovering to this realm. Once his Spirit Root completely healed, reclaiming his former strength was only a matter of time.

Lately, nothing happened, so Qiann Yan ordered all disciples to seriously cultivate at Bao Yuee Peak and prohibited leaving until reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Fuh Xueemei, who originally waited outside, couldn’t find an opportunity and could only be frustrated.

Through repairing Ye Huai Feng’s Spirit Root, Qiann Yan, aside from Alchemy and Artifact Refining, researched Spirit Roots in her spare time, making use of Ye Huai Feng still needing to recover, allowing her ample time for study.

Among her disciples, Xu Cai had the poorest talent. Achieving Immortality wasn’t an easy task, and she wanted to find a way to ignite potential and enhance the Spirit Root.

Xu Cai indeed had talent, just ranking slightly below the other disciples.

Even Chu Pingyu, who originally had no Spirit Root, could stimulate growth of a top-grade Fire Spirit Root by consuming an Immortal-grade Spirit Creation Elixir. Xu Cai undoubtedly had better initial talent than Chu Pingyu, and Qiann Yan believed her potential could be brought forth.

If she could discover this method, she could enhance the Spirit Root grade of several disciples under her tutelage.

Besides researching Ye Huai Feng’s Spirit Root, she focused on studying the Spirit Creation Elixir, believing she might find an approach and possibly create a new Elixir.

"Master, are you leaving again?"

Qiann Yan opened the door to find Ye Huai Feng standing at the entrance: "Going outside to seek materials for the Spirit Creation Elixir."

Ordinary Spirit Creation Elixirs were not scarce, only the finest were lacking.

She couldn’t craft the Immortal Grade, but she could create the top-grade.

Ye Huai Feng: "Then, Master, please stay safe and return soon."

"I’m leaving Bao Yuee Peak in your care." Qiann Yan felt at ease entrusting these trivial matters to Ye Huai Feng, who managed them in an orderly fashion. Bao Yuee Peak was sparsely populated, ensuring little interference with his cultivation.

"Okay."

Ye Huai Feng watched as Qiann Yan departed on her sword, his initially stern face unknowingly softened, his eyes—once indifferent—now brimming with affection.

He understood.

He realized it some time ago, that unusual feeling from deep within, was his uncontrollable admiration toward his Master.

Initially, he had difficulty confronting it; after all, she was his Master, how could he harbor such thoughts?

Even though such occurrences are common in the Cultivation World, he still felt his admiration for his Master was somewhat lowly and even a bit contemptible. He couldn’t control these emotions, nor did he have the courage to express them.

It was his Master who raised him since childhood, how could he have such thoughts?

He’s making every effort to conceal his feelings, hoping his Master wouldn’t notice. Once she ascends, she won’t be troubled by such matters.

He didn’t wish for his sentiments to sully her.

In front of his Master, he remained the obedient and dutiful disciple, only revealing his emotions when she was not present.

As he did now, gazing at the sword-light across the horizon—though that figure had disappeared long ago—he was reluctant to leave, wanting only to watch the sword-light fade away.
