Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

41  A little talk in the lake!

Zhang Yuan, Ming Yuelin, and Xue Hua were walking down the mountain through the small forest. Xue Hua was silent while Ming Yuelin and Zhang Yuan were chatting and enjoying their morning walk.

Xue Hua was consumed in her own thoughts 'Now... I don't need to rush on my revenge. Since Master helped me and retrieved my soul, I can live longer.'

'Last time, I got hasty. But next time, I will plan my revenge thoroughly and kill Hong Shi. If I got lucky... I could even get my revenge on the whole Yu Hong Holy Land.'

She glanced at Zhang Yuan and frowned slightly 'Master is powerful. Should I ask for his help?'

After a moment of internal debate, she dismissed the idea 'No, No... I shouldn't interfere with him in my personal goals and burden him.'

'I will take my own revenge. Mother, Father, and Little Xie... watch over me.'

She raised her head and looked at the morning sun filtering through the dense leaves on the trees and the chirping sound of the morning birds filled her ears.

'Now... I feel kind of relieved. Maybe because I got my soul back and my mind is also at ease thinking that there is time to get my revenge.'

 "Hua."

Hearing his voice, Xue Hua instantly turned her head to him "Master?"

Zhang Yuan spoke, "We will have to destroy and reconstruct your meridians and foundations."

E-Eh? Xue Hua was dumbfounded "Destroy my cultivation? But I am already in the 8th level of Earth Profound Stage."

With a nod, Zhang Yuan spoke "The forbidden powers have corrupted your body, and meridians. We need to reconstruct it."

Xue Hua lowered her head "But Master... once the cultivation is broken. can it be restored? I have heard only Heavenly Grass has the power to restore someone's broken cultivation."

Zhang Yuan showed a faint smile "I will take care of that, don't worry."

Soon they reached the lake and looking at the clear water of the lake shimmering in the morning glow of the sunlight, Xue Hua walked forward.

Strolling along the edge of the serene lake, she bent down and scooped up a handful of its cool, refreshing water in her palm. Zhang Yuan's expression became gentle and he turned his gaze to Ming Yuelin "Lin'er, be kind to her."

"Master?" Ming Yuelin looked at Zhang Yuan confused. Zhang Yuan raised his hand and patted her head "Don't hate on her just because she is a demon. She has lost her family and has been through a lot."

"These past months must have been very hard for her."

"So don't bully her just because she is junior sister to you. In terms of age, she is older than you."

Ming Yuelin pouted her lips "Master, why are you framing me like a bad girl? I don't bully anyone..."

"Good then." Zhang Yuan crouched gently and took her body in his arms.

H-Huh? Master? Ming Yuelin was flustered by the sudden intimate scene but then her eyes squinted as she remembered something.

Wait.. isn't this the same as that day? Don't tell me...

"Here we go." Muttering, Zhang Yuan threw her up in the air.

(⋟﹏⋞) "AS I THOUGHT! MASTERRRRR I HATE YOU!"

Eh? Xue Hua looked at the figure of Ming Yuelin flying through the air as she crashed into the center of the lake.

 *crash* The sound echoed through the surrounding forest, sending ripples through the calm waters and causing birds to scatter from their perches in the trees. Ming Yuelin hurriedly came swimming up to the top and yelled looking at Zhang Yuan "Master!!! With this, you are buying me two more sets of clothes from the town."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle "Bathe and come for breakfast. Hua, you too." he said and walked up to the house.

"Yes, Master."

...

Ming Yuelin who was submerged in the water naked looked at Xue Hua who was stripping her clothes on the shore of the lake.

Her eyebrows twitched looking at Xue Hua's naked body 'Why the hell are they this big?'

She looked down at her own chest and her eyes darkened 'Not even close...'

As Xue Hua submerged herself in the lake, Ming Yuelin swam near her "Junior Sister, what is your age."

Xue Hua kept her indifferent face and replied "27."

(˃̣̣̥╭╮˂̣̣̥) 'Two years older than me but but there is a three size difference in cup sizes. Fuck you Author, why didn't you give me big breasts?' She could only sigh in her heart and glanced at Xue Hua's body "The dark thing on your skin is also gone." she muttered looking at the clean skin.

"En. It all thanks to Master." Xue Hua muttered, a subtle smile creeping on her lips.

Ming Yuelin raised her hand and showed her skin "See, you could also become beautiful like this. Master will give you pills and medicinal baths to strengthen your skin and body."

"I see." Xue Hua is not really interested in being beautiful as she doesn't want to please anyone's eyes.

But if she can become powerful, she will take any pills and medicinal baths.

Ming Yuelin nodded her head "And Master will really strengthen your foundation and meridians like he did to me."

"And do you know what? I condensed Golden Profound Sea because of his help." she said raising her chest proudly.

WHAT? Xue Hua was astounded and hastily asked "Did you just say... Golden Profound Sea?"

"Surprised? Hehe... Yeah, I condensed Golden Profound Sea."

Xue Hua's eyes narrowed 'Same as Hong Shi. I could only condense up to Red Profound Sea, but with Master's help maybe... I could too.'

She took a deep breath controlling her excitement 'I am glad to be accepted as his disciple.'

But then her eyes trembled and let out a sigh "Master has helped me a lot... but I couldn't even give him a ceremonial gift for accepting me as his disciple."

Hearing this, Ming Yuelin rolled her eyes "I gave Master 50 taels of gold, 6900 year old crimson mushroom, and spiritual leaves." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

That much? Xue Hua narrowed her eyes and Ming Yuelin laughed "But... Master didn't accept anything."

-_- Eh?

"That 50 taels of gold are with me now and I made the Crimson mushroom as a soup the next day. As for the spiritual leaves... we are using it for tea."

 "So, junior sister, you don't have to worry about that."

Xue Hua shook her head and spoke "No, Senior Sister. I should give him a ceremonial gift."

As she pondered, she suddenly remembered something "Yeah... that night I saw a bright red fruit within the forest but it was protected by a powerful spirit beast. Maybe I can get that for Master?"
