Only the cult leader accepted my confession.-Chapter 10 - : Why Are You Looking for Me So Late at Night?

"You—you're pushing it too far!" Luo Jiuyan's cheeks flushed crimson.

She couldn't bear it anymore!

What exactly was going through his head?

Just looking at his expression, she knew it couldn't be anything good!

Hearing her protest, Ye Shu put on an exaggeratedly pitiful look. "Master, didn't you just say I could ask for anything? Now you're saying I'm going too far? That's... that's unfair!"

Luo Jiuyan's expression turned stiff. She had no idea how to respond.

As the head of a sect, it was unbecoming of her to go back on her word. And yet...

The way Ye Shu was looking at her—full of mischief and barely restrained excitement—made her wary.

She had no doubt that whatever was going through his mind was something completely unacceptable!

So, she quickly said, "Tell me your condition first. I'll... evaluate it."

Ye Shu scratched his head. "Uh, I haven't thought of it yet."

After all, the conditions he wanted to propose were bold... outrageous, even.

If he actually voiced them out, he might get a slap to the face.

She was still Luo Jiuyan, after all!

"How about we discuss this later?" he suggested tentatively.

"Fine!" Luo Jiuyan nodded without hesitation, inwardly sighing in relief.

As long as he didn't bring it up now, she could find a way to deal with it later.

That was the best possible outcome!

Having nothing else to say, Luo Jiuyan prepared to leave. Before doing so, she turned to him and said, "Shu'er, focus on cultivating and improving your strength."

...She immediately regretted it. This kid's strength was already abnormal, and he was hardworking.

So, she quickly changed the subject. "And stop harassing the other female disciples. Understood?"

"Of course, Master!" Ye Shu agreed readily.

With her around, even if he wanted to misbehave, he wouldn't dare!

"Good. That's all for today."

With that, Luo Jiuyan transformed into a streak of purple light and disappeared toward Tiansha Peak.

Ye Shu remained where he stood, the corners of his mouth lifting.

He had plenty to think about.

What kind of condition should he propose?

If it was too bold, Luo Jiuyan would never agree.

Although their relationship was developing in that direction, it was still the beginning. He had to give her time.

He couldn't just put the pedal to the metal and speed down the highway immediately.

She wasn't an experienced driver. If she got carsick, he might be the one who got into an accident!

No, he had to be careful. He needed a plan—something that satisfied him but was also acceptable to her.

But was there really such a perfect condition?

Ye Shu shook his head. No need to think about it too hard. There'd be plenty of opportunities later!

For now, it was time to check his latest prize—the Supreme Order he had obtained through his little "interaction" with Senior Sister Bai Rourou.

What kind of treasure would he get this time?

Excitement surged through him as he activated the reward.

A flash of silver light appeared.

A sword?

Ye Shu's heartbeat quickened.

A weapon at last!

With his handsome face and unrivaled strength, surely it had to be something legendary!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Spirit Sword: Taiyin Sword!]

Ye Shu's eyes widened. "Oh, damn. This is sick!"

A sleek silver sword hovered before him, its design intricate and noble. With just a thought, he chose to extract it.

The sword shot toward him, leaving a streak of silver in the air before he caught it firmly in his grasp.

"Taiyin Sword..."

The dragon-shaped patterns gleamed under the light, exuding an aura of elegance and might.

Ye Shu felt deeply moved.

He was already too handsome. Now, with this sword in hand, how were other men supposed to survive?

Should he give them a chance?

No.

He wasn't that kind.

"And the name—Taiyin Sword! Sounds so serious and respectable!"

He grinned and spun the sword in his hands, admiring its balance.

Even though he had zero knowledge of sword techniques, that didn't matter.

As long as he looked cool while swinging it around, that was enough!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He played with the sword like a child with a new toy, slashing at the air and feeling like an immortal.

Time passed in a blur.

Soon, night fell.

After a long day, Ye Shu sheathed his new sword and headed back to take a bath.

Stripping down, he admired his own muscles in the water.

"Tsk, amazing."

If a young girl saw this, her heart would surely ignite with passion.

She'd fight him for three hundred rounds before finally giving in!

Even Master Luo Jiuyan wouldn't be able to resist, right?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Knock! Knock!

A sudden knock at the door jolted him out of his fantasy.

His heart almost stopped.

"Shit. Don't tell me it's her..."

Fearing that it was Luo Jiuyan, Ye Shu shot out of the bath, quickly dried himself, and cautiously called out, "Who is it?"

A soft voice replied from outside.

"It's me, Senior Sister Bai."

Ye Shu let out a deep breath. Not Master. Thank god.

But then he frowned.

Why was Bai Rourou looking for him this late?

She'd never done this before.

And... her tone was unusually gentle.

Not at all like the feisty, temperamental woman from earlier.

Something was off.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Senior Sister Bai, wait a minute. I'll put on some clothes and open the door!"

Hurriedly dressing, he walked over and unlocked the door.

The sight before him made him pause.

Under the moonlight, Bai Rourou stood with a soft, delicate aura.

The night breeze lifted the hem of her dress, and a faint blush dusted her cheeks.

She looked breathtaking.

For a moment, Ye Shu was dazed.

When she wasn't fuming with anger, Bai Rourou was absolutely stunning.

Her skin was as fair as jade, and under the soft glow of the moon, she looked like an ethereal fairy.

Enchanting.

He had the sudden urge to pull her into his arms and cherish her.

To sing: "The night is beautiful, and you are so gentle~"

But then he remembered her fierce attitude from earlier.

Gentle?

Yeah, right.

She probably came to beat him up!

Quickly snapping out of his daze, he asked warily, "Senior Sister Bai, it's so late... why are you looking for me?"

His eyes narrowed in suspicion.

A woman visiting a man late at night...

This was definitely suspicious!
