CHAPTER 337: 160. DECAPITATION OPERATION! CAPTURE YUANYI!_2

"Xiao’er, even your Master is afraid..."

"Do you know? Just now, your Master even silently vowed in her heart that she would not meet anyone else for the rest of her life! She would watch over you for a lifetime!" Xiao Hongling poured out her heart, her phoenix eyes brimming with tears.

At this moment, she finally confronted her inner feelings and faced the man she loved.

"Master, so now, will you finally accept my feelings for you?" Lin Xiao asked directly, his gaze piercing.

"Your Master..."

Under his intense gaze, Xiao Hongling averted her eyes again, stammering, "I... Let’s not speak of this for now. The fact that you managed to recover from death proves that I was right about you! You are indeed the Chosen One!"

"Let’s go! Your Master will take you to meet your three junior sisters. They must be heartbroken right now!"

Having finished speaking, she swiftly disengaged herself from him and extended a pale arm to help him up.

However, he remained unmoving.

"Master, I cannot leave until you answer my question," Lin Xiao resolutely stated. "Master, I would like to... to be with you as lovers."

After years of suppressing his feelings, he finally poured his heart out!

Yes, from the moment she brought him up the mountain, bathed him, clothed him, and taught him the way of cultivation, he, with the soul of a grown man, had fallen in love with this beautiful woman who had been like a mother and a teacher to him!

Now, having paid the price of an extremely rare Forever Cicada, he had managed to break the deadlock!

He would not let his efforts go to waste!

To betray his Master and defy his ancestors—it all came down to this! As for him, Lin Xiao—he would die without regrets!

The two looked at each other in silence.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

After an entire minute of silence, the stunningly beautiful woman before him turned her body to the side, her phoenix eyes gazing sorrowfully into the void as she said wistfully, "Your Master... Your Master has always known of Xiao’er’s feelings, and your Master doesn’t want to deceive herself any longer, but..."

"You’re already engaged to Yurong. As your Master and elder, how can I compete with your junior sister for your affections?"

"Sigh, it’s my fault!"

"I, Xiao Hongling, have been formidable all my life, fearing nothing. Yet, concerns about so-called etiquette and human relations have long prevented me from confronting my own heart..."

"Even if your Master has this realization now, it may be too late."

Having said that, she closed her eyes, her exquisite face overshadowed by deep regret.

"It’s not too late."

As she was lost in her sorrow, a firm and strong voice reached her.

Soon afterward, a warm palm interlaced with her slender fingers.

"Master, as you said, since the mistake has already been made, we cultivators should shoulder the burden and make amends promptly. Only by doing so can our Dao hearts be clear! Therefore—"

Swallowing, Lin Xiao mustered his courage and declared, "My junior sisters, Master... you are all my wings. I, Lin Xiao..."

"I want you all!"

Xiao Hongling: !!???

「...」

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The urgent and resounding toll of a bell echoed from Dragon Head Peak, reverberating above the five suspended main peaks of the Qinglan Mountain Range.

The Sect Leader of Dragon Head Peak, True Master Ziyun, had, for the first time in his life, rung the Warning Clock—the sect’s highest level of alert!

At this moment, the Chairmen of Red Cloud, Tiandang, Fengming, and Divine Phoenix Peaks, along with the Elders in Charge of the Teaching Hall, Enforcement Hall, Protector Hall, Array Hall, and other divisions, all abandoned their tasks and flew towards the Sect Leader’s Grand Hall on Dragon Head Peak.

From atop Fairy Cliff on Divine Phoenix Peak, a green sword light also streaked across the sky, heading north.

"Master! You still haven’t answered me! Will you agree to your disciple’s request or not?"

High in the sky, Lin Xiao recklessly wrapped his arm around his Master’s slender waist, his voice raised to its loudest to be heard over the roaring wind.

"Xiao’er! Your desire... it’s truly too audacious! Your Master..." Xiao Hongling, while guiding the Immortal Sword, turned her head and shot her beloved disciple a reproachful glance. "You little scamp! Even if... even if your Master agrees! How would your Junior Sister Yurong feel?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Lin Xiao burst into hearty laughter.

"What... what are you laughing at?" Xiao Hongling’s cheeks flushed slightly as she turned back, looking at her disciple in confusion.

"Master has changed! I’m so excited! The ten-thousand-year iceberg has finally melted!" Lin Xiao exclaimed. As he spoke, he comfortably leaned his head forward. Since his respected Master was tall, nearly his own height, his head rested perfectly on her fragrant shoulder. "Master, do you know how you would have answered before?"

"Hmph." Xiao Hongling’s cheeks were rosy red. She allowed her disciple’s restless hands to roam, but she didn’t reply.

"If it were in the past, upon hearing such audacious words from me, Master would surely have given disciple a stern lecture, and might even have disciplined me physically. But now..."

Lin Xiao pressed his head tightly against his Master’s slender, snow-white neck and kissed her earlobe.

"Ah..." A soft sound escaped her. This intimate act caused the great beauty to let out a deeper moan; her Sword Intent, powerful as it was, actually faltered, and her Sword Control wavered.

"Xiao’er, the Sect Leader True Master has rung the Warning Clock. There must be a major crisis within the sect! It might even be that reckless Demon Sect causing some earth-shattering disturbance again! Therefore, later... when we enter the Sect Leader’s Grand Hall, you must not cause any trouble! Do you understand?" Xiao Hongling emphasized each word.

Her tone seemed like a stern warning, but it was laden more with deep worry.

She feared that when the great calamity arrived, she wouldn’t be able to split her attention to protect this beloved disciple of hers, the Chosen One!

It turned out that, when she had personally traveled to Mount Taicang to discuss her beloved disciple’s wedding, she had been shocked to learn that True Monarch Taiwu had already passed away!

Not only that, but the other Five Sages had also revealed True Monarch Taiwu’s last words to her in their entirety!

It was only then that she realized the threat from the Demon Sect this time was no less severe than the first great war between the Righteous and Demonic paths two thousand years ago!

To think, when she had accompanied her beloved disciple Lin Xiao to the borders of the Eastern Region to subdue Niu Batian of the Evil Extreme Sect, she had still treated it all as child’s play, not taking it seriously at all!

"Xiao’er, your Master has once again witnessed your extraordinary judgment today. Just as you said, that Niu Batian was only the beginning of the Demon Sect’s conspiracy. The calamity our Qinglan Sect faces this time is indeed unusual," Xiao Hongling suddenly remarked, her phoenix eyes profound.

At this moment, perhaps preoccupied with heavy thoughts, she didn’t notice at all that her disciple’s hands, resting on her waist, were already mischievously creeping upwards...

With Master’s fiery figure and her domineering personality, if I were to thoroughly tease and... play with her using my Wood Attribute tentacle Divine Skills, wouldn’t there be a delightful contrast? Lin Xiao suddenly imagined an incredible scene.

However, the next moment, seeing his beloved Master’s brow deeply furrowed, he abruptly snapped back to reality.

"Don’t worry, Master."

"I already know why the Sect Leader True Master rang the Warning Clock," Lin Xiao stated, his eyes sharp and his expression confident.

"Hmm? You know?" Xiao Hongling was taken aback.

"Yes, not only does your disciple know, but I can also easily—foil this conspiracy, expose the mastermind, and eliminate them, crushing their will!"

"I believe that when the mastermind’s true identity is revealed, not only you, Master, and the various Chairmen, but perhaps even the Five Sages of Mount Taicang will be utterly astonished."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as lightning.

"Xiao’er! Are you hiding something!?"

"This matter is of grave importance! If you know something, tell your Master immediately!" Xiao Hongling said, her voice tense.

"It’s alright, Master will find out in due time," Lin Xiao said mysteriously. "Your disciple only hopes that when I go on a rampage and capture the mastermind, Master will give me a small reward!"

Xiao Hongling frowned slightly. "Everything’s fine, why are we talking about rewards again?"

"Besides, what... what kind of reward do you want from your Master?" she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Something naughty! Something naughty is the best reward! Lin Xiao had exclaimed wildly in his heart.

At this moment, Lin Xiao was acting purely on instinct, not daring to be too outrageous. He had no choice but to follow her lead. One hand supported her slender, white, and alluring neck, like that of a swan, as he aimed for those luscious red lips, which seemed to yearn for something, and kissed them deeply!

However, despite this, his other hand still hadn’t moved from Martial Uncle Su’s large breasts! He continued to brazenly increase the force, kneading and playing with them!

There was nothing he could do; it was just too damn good! An indescribable pleasure! And he discovered that every time he pinched the tip of Su Mei’s breast between two fingers, her delicate body would tremble uncontrollably!

"Silly boy, not... don’t lick there..."

"Kissing... Kissing is so boring," Su Mei complained. However, when Lin Xiao’s thin lips clumsily met hers, she couldn’t help but pout her lips and actively welcome his kiss.
