Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor-Chapter 4685: Cave Abode

Chapter 4685: Cave Abode

“Well, your name is Yun Qi. From now on, I’ll also call you Little Qi.” He smiled, appearing to be in a genuinely good mood, his entire countenance radiating happiness.

Hao’er cast a sidelong glance at his master, a flicker of thought crossing his mind that the nickname bestowed upon their sister was somewhat peculiar. Moreover, he couldn’t help but notice the significant softening of his master’s expression whenever he addressed her by that name. freewebnoveℓ.com

Considering his master’s recent, noticeably gentler treatment of his sister, coupled with the current unusual circumstances, Hao’er suppressed his burgeoning doubts. He held their mother’s judgment in higher regard than his own. The fact that their mother had instructed them to become this man’s disciples and follow him here was sufficient proof in his young mind that this individual was trustworthy.

“Alright, now let me tell you a little about this place,” the Azure Emperor said, his gaze encompassing the three children. “As you can see, you are the only inhabitants here besides myself. Consequently, you will be responsible for your own food, clothing, and shelter. Yunxiao Mountain is protected by a powerful barrier, rendering it impenetrable to outsiders, and by the same token, preventing you from leaving.”

He slowly paced before them, his hands clasped behind his back, a faint smile playing on his lips. “However, these mountains also abound with spiritual medicine fields and spiritual fruit trees. The care of these resources is generally entrusted to puppets I have created. Within these mountains, besides my own cave abode, Little Qi’s cave abode is ready. As for the two of you, I suggest you explore and choose a location that appeals to you. You can then excavate your own cave abodes. You can also venture into the forest behind the mountain to fell trees and fashion stone tables, chairs, and other necessities. Here, self-sufficiency is paramount. Of course…”

He paused, his eyes meeting each of theirs in turn. “If you master the art of puppet-making, you can enlist their assistance in these tasks. Every six months, I will administer a small test, and once a year, a more significant trial. I will also take you out to interact and exchange knowledge with others. In two days, after the blood curse within you is dispelled, I will accompany you down the mountain. I will take you to the city to acquire any necessities you may require. Take this time to consider what you need to purchase. In the future, you will be permitted to descend the mountain once every three months, but I will only accompany you on the first occasion. After that, you will be responsible for your own journeys down the mountain.”

“Master, can we go anywhere on Yunxiao Mountain?” The little girl fluttered her long lashes, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement as she looked up at him.

“Yes, you can go anywhere on Yunxiao Mountain,” the Azure Emperor confirmed with a nod. Turning to her, he added, “Come, Little Qi! I will take you to see your cave abode.”

“Yeah!” Yue’er replied with unrestrained enthusiasm, eagerly tugging on her two brothers’ hands to follow their master towards the cave abode.

Upon entering the cave abode, Hao’er, Muchen, and Yue’er exchanged surprised glances. The interior bore the distinct impression of having been recently inhabited. Everything within seemed complete and well-maintained, and they even noticed a small, adjoining kitchen area.

“Master, who used to live here?” Hao’er inquired, his gaze directed at the Azure Emperor who stood within the cave abode with his hands behind his back, surveying their surroundings.

“This is where your senior sister lived back then, but she unfortunately failed to transcend her tribulation and was reduced to ashes, so it has remained unoccupied ever since,” the Azure Emperor explained, his gaze softening as he looked at Yue’er. “Little girl, you will reside here from now on.”

“Master, this was my senior sister’s home. Am I really allowed to live here?” Yue’er’s little head tilted innocently as she asked.
