“Umm… Master, I really can’t eat anymore~”
Looking at her master, who wore a kind and gentle smile like a grandmother worried that her eldest grandson wasn’t eating enough, forcibly shoving pills into her mouth, Gu Qingying blushed deeply and strongly protested to her master.
Faced with her disciple’s strong objection…
Lu Li said nothing, only persistently feeding Gu Qingying the exquisite Qi Condensing Pills.
Although the warm current produced by the pills entering her stomach, along with the gentle touch of her master’s fingers brushing her lips, made Gu Qingying feel very comfortable.
Yet when her eyes glanced at Lu Li, she still felt a trace of lingering fear.
Because just a few minutes ago, she had nearly exposed her true gender in front of Lu Li.
A few minutes earlier, after returning to Broken Love Peak with Lu Li, Gu Qingying was sent away by Lu Li using an excuse.
She then found the room she used to live in during her previous life according to her past memories, planning to change into the training clothes of a Broken Love Peak disciple to reminisce about her past life.
Lu Li, holding several bottles of pills, hurriedly rushed to her bedroom door and without asking pushed the door open and entered.
If she hadn’t been quick and sharp-eyed enough to hurriedly finish changing before her master entered, she would have exposed herself by now.
Even so, Gu Qingying still felt somewhat frightened, her gaze occasionally darting to the somewhat messy white cloth lying on the bed.
That was the chest wrap Gu Qingying had just loosened while changing.
At that moment, she had planned to stand in front of the bronze mirror to restore her past life’s Broken Love Peak outfit, reminiscing about those bygone days.
But before she finished halfway, Lu Li entered, forcing her to hurriedly put on her clothes without even wrapping the chest cloth.
Fortunately, Gu Qingying’s figure wasn’t particularly good, and since she was just beginning to develop, the slightly oversized training clothes concealed her well.
Even without binding her chest, outsiders couldn’t see any obvious abnormalities.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingying blushed and touched her modest chest.
Unexpectedly, the biggest flaw that caused her to be most self-conscious—and ridiculed by senior sisters in her past life—had become the very thing protecting her identity this life.
Truly, the world is ever-changing…
Gu Qingying sighed with mixed feelings, but Lu Li was completely unaware.
He continued to force-feed her the exquisite Qi Condensing Pills like a duck, while simultaneously pulling up the system to closely monitor her cultivation progress.
[Gu Qingkong consumes Qi Condensing Pill, cultivation increased.]
[Gu Qingkong consumes Qi Condensing Pill, cultivation increased.]
[Gu Qingkong consumes Qi Condensing Pill…]
After the system’s notifications accumulated over more than ten pages, Gu Qingying’s cultivation had finally been pushed up to Qi Refining Stage Six through Lu Li’s pill supplementation.
However, once she reached Qi Refining Stage Six, her pill absorption slowed significantly.
Clearly, her absorption efficiency had hit its limit, and the medicinal power accumulated inside hadn’t yet been digested.
Continuing would likely cause pill poisoning, damaging her foundation.
Sensing the change in her disciple’s aura, Lu Li nodded with satisfaction.
“Hmm… Not bad! Good disciple~ Let’s end today’s pill-taking cultivation here~”
Hearing this, Gu Qingying rubbed her sore cheeks, lips still savoring the gentle touch of Lu Li’s fingertips, and nodded in relief.
At the same time, her heart fluttered uncontrollably, gratitude toward her master reaching its peak.
Having cultivated in two lifetimes, Gu Qingying deeply understood that the pills her master just fed her were no ordinary pills.
Just a dozen or so could push her from Qi Refining Stage Five to Six—these pills were undoubtedly exquisite Qi Condensing Pills.
Recalling what her senior sister had said in her past life about her own initiation and treatment, which was far less favorable than hers.
Gu Qingying had every reason to believe that Master Lu Li was giving her all the resources to cultivate well.
Because she remembered that senior sister once said that when she first came to apprentice, her master shared hardship with her, even sparing his own cultivation resources to support her.
Indeed, whether in her past life or this one, her master was always so gentle and kind, caring for his disciples with all his heart.
Gu Qingying glanced at Lu Li’s eyes, silky and charming, and silently vowed to herself that this life she would refine her heart demon to protect her master, repaying his kindness across both lifetimes.
Her master’s grace was endless…
Just as Gu Qingying’s face flushed red and her breath quickened while admiring Lu Li, he gently stroked his chin, staring at his disciple whose skin was slightly flushed and aura a bit unstable, and quietly pondered.
Hiss~
Why is this kid’s face so red?
And why is his breathing suddenly so labored?
Hmm?
Could it be… his body is too weak and suddenly took so many pills, so he can’t accept the supplement?
Lu Li glanced at the system panel showing Gu Qingkong’s cultivation slowing after reaching Qi Refining Stage Seven, thinking it increasingly likely.
Yes.
That’s right!
The body is the vessel, and the mana is the water inside!
If the vessel isn’t sturdy enough, how can it hold more water?
Thinking this, Lu Li hurriedly took out from his storage pouch the Taoist scripture his master had entrusted him before going into seclusion.
He flipped through it to find a set of body refining methods based on the and smiled warmly at his blushing disciple.
Sensing the smile in Lu Li’s eyes, Gu Qingying couldn’t help but feel a bad premonition.
“Uh… Master, what are you going to do?”
Lu Li said nothing, only slowly reached out his demon claws toward Gu Qingying.
“Ahhhh… Master! Don’t come any closer!”
***
A few minutes later, inside Gu Qingying’s bedroom.
“Oh my~ Disciple, don’t be afraid~ Just endure it, it’s my first time too!”
After speaking, Lu Li climbed directly onto the bed and sat squarely on Gu Qingying’s back.
The realistic sensation made her tremble all over.
“Ah… Master! I’m really so happy…”
“Ah—”
Just as Gu Qingying was feeling moved, an involuntary cry of pain escaped her red lips.
“I say, disciple~ you’re way too skinny. You must have starved a lot outside before, huh? Starvation isn’t a good feeling. I’ll help you properly replenish later!”
“Oh dear~ disciple, it’s okay. If it hurts, just shout out!”
Lu Li’s mouth kept talking as his hands didn’t stop moving.
Following the cultivation diagrams in the Taoist scripture, he gradually used spiritual energy to dredge Gu Qingying’s meridians, helping her digest the remaining medicinal power of the exquisite Qi Condensing Pills inside her body.
Looking at Gu Qingying beneath him, suffering while her meridians were continuously dredged…
She bit her lower lip tightly, swallowing the nearly escaped pleasurable sounds back down her throat.
Lu Li’s warm palm pressed against her back, pure spiritual power flowing irresistibly into her body, delicately smoothing her meridians.
The sensation was like a hot spring in winter, warming her limbs and meridians that had become sore, numb, swollen, and stiff from the undigested medicinal power, almost making her expose her feminine form with embarrassing sounds.
To avoid exposing her identity, she could only bury her face deeply into his arm and claw tightly at the bedsheets with her slender fingers to suppress any sounds.
After all, if she cried out here in front of Master Lu Li, her path of cultivation would probably end right then and there…
