Chapter 51: My Own Disciple—Of Course I Should Spoil Her!

After stepping into the Inn, a lively scene unfolded inside.

The first floor was the Cafeteria, where wandering cultivators from all over the land sat together.

A couple of drinks, and they became fast friends, sharing their life ideals and expressing anticipation for the upcoming Recruitment Assembly.

Above the second floor was the lodging area.

At this moment, many people of all kinds were going up and down the stairs.

Seeing this, Yu Yi felt an increasingly ominous premonition in her heart.

“So many people… Could it be that all the rooms are already taken?”

With uneasy feelings, the two walked up to the counter.

The Innkeeper was a cheerful-looking aunt.

She glanced over Yu Yi and Blue Ling’er, then smiled and asked, “Are you two young ladies here to stay? Your luck is quite good, there just happen to be two guest rooms left.”

Yu Yi’s eyes lit up instantly.

Nice!

But before she could speak, Blue Ling’er reacted even faster, opening her mouth first: “That’s great, we’ll take both.”

Wait… Huh?

Yu Yi was stunned.

She thought Blue Ling’er would only want one room, but to her surprise, she asked for two?

“Phew… I knew it, Ling’er values etiquette and wouldn’t act recklessly.”

Yu Yi let out a long breath.

Soon, the two paid and received their keys, officially settling into the Inn.

“Hmm… Somehow, it feels a bit lacking.”

According to typical novel plot developments, at this point there would either be only one guest room left, leading to a scramble with some blind lackeys, or no rooms left at all, only to end up helping someone solve a problem and gaining a room as a reward.

Yet for Yu Yi, nothing happened.

Things went smoother than expected, making Yu Yi feel a bit bored instead.

“Sigh, I also wanted to taste the thrill of playing the pig to eat the tiger.”

In the past, Yu Yi always openly revealed her identity as a female demon, crushing her opponents.

Although it was indeed satisfying, it wasn’t completely enjoyable.

Now, she finally had a chance to play the pig to eat the tiger, but things went too smoothly, leaving her no opportunity at all!

Just then, a frivolous voice suddenly sounded behind her:

“Two girls, isn’t one room enough? Why take two and not leave one for others in need?”

Yu Yi instantly brightened.

Here it comes, the delivery ‘head’ has arrived!

Suppressing her excitement, she turned back with a calm face, looking at the two people trying to stir up trouble.

However, before Yu Yi could say anything, the two recognized her and immediately stepped back three paces, bowing and apologizing:

“O-originally, it was Senior Wind Immortal. Our apologies!”

“We were wrong! Please pretend you didn’t hear those words!”

“Sorry for disturbing you, farewell!”

After a rapid triple apology, the two scurried out of the Inn.

Yu Yi: “……”

She’d only barely benefited from Old Four, and yet the name Wind Immortal was already so resounding?

Sigh, she finally got interested and wanted to experience pure satisfaction, but why was it so difficult…

“Let’s go upstairs.”

Having failed to act cool, Yu Yi spoke flatly to Blue Ling’er.

“Big sister, you seem a bit disappointed? Did something happen?”

“Nothing…”

With that, the two headed upstairs to their respective rooms.

***

Night fell.

Yu Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, focused in meditation.

She had already reached the Martial Emperor level, standing at the peak of the Martial World.

For her, meditation brought no improvement in cultivation, serving only to refresh body and mind.

But Yu Yi enjoyed the process.

She could fully relax, reflect on her state, and sort out the scattered memories in her mind.

Currently, Yu Yi had “accepted” three disciples and mastered five systems: ice, water, thunder, lightning, and earth.

She could handle most situations.

But since Su Cheng’s leg was struck by Frozen Sword Intent and Yu Yi didn’t know fire techniques, it meant she still couldn’t slack off.

Retrieving all her disciples remained her foremost goal.

The next target was obvious: Chi Ming.

“What really happened between the original master and Chi Ming…”

Yu Yi closed her eyes in thought, searching her fragmented memories for clues.

At that moment, she suddenly heard footsteps outside her door.

They stopped before her room.

A knock soon followed.

“Knock knock knock.”

“Who is it?”

Yu Yi slowly opened her eyes and asked.

“Big sister, it’s me.”

Blue Ling’er’s voice came from outside.

Yu Yi glanced at the dark night and moon outside the window, puzzled.

At this time, if it were Huang Doudou, the little one might come by for food or out of greed.

But Blue Ling’er?

Why would she come?

Without thinking too much, Yu Yi got out of bed and opened the door for Blue Ling’er.

Standing before her, Blue Ling’er wore a light blue nightdress, barefoot on the floor, a faint blush on her cool, delicate face, as if wanting to say something to Yu Yi.

“Ling’er?”

Yu Yi looked at her in confusion.

Blue Ling’er closed the door behind her, then, after a moment’s silence, bit her pale pink lips and spoke slowly:

“Please… please give me another chance, Master!”

Huh?

What chance?

Yu Yi was a little dumbfounded.

Blue Ling’er continued: “Just now downstairs… Master clearly gave me a chance, but I failed to notice. Tossing and turning on the bed, I was filled with regret. Please give me another chance, Master!”

Yu Yi was even more confused.

When did I give you any chance?

No need to guess—Blue Ling’er was definitely overthinking things again.

“What chance did I give you?”

Yu Yi asked calmly.

At her words, Blue Linger’s delicate body trembled.

She thought Yu Yi’s response meant she wasn’t sensitive enough and had angered her.

But in reality, Yu Yi truly didn’t know what chance she had supposedly given.

“To avoid disturbing Master’s rest, I deliberately requested two guest rooms. But Master actually wanted to give me a chance to fulfill my wish, right? The regret Master showed afterwards was for my failure to understand your intention and seize the opportunity, wasn’t it?”

After finishing, Blue Ling’er’s eyes filled with tears.

Yu Yi took a deep breath.

“No, no, no… It’s not as you imagine. My regret was simply because I failed to act cool…”

Yu Yi marveled at Blue Ling’er’s imagination.

But before she could explain, she saw Blue Ling’er with teary eyes, pitifully asking:

“Master… was I wrong?”

“You… sigh, you weren’t wrong.”

“I was foolish and failed to understand Master’s kindness at first. But since Master intended to fulfill my wish, does it still count now?”

“It… It counts.”

Blue Ling’er was momentarily stunned, then her face bloomed into a radiant smile.

“Thank you, Master.”

She tightly grasped Yu Yi’s hand.

Yu Yi’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Though she had guessed earlier that Blue Ling’er’s wish might be to share a room with her, seeing the usually aloof and dignified Blue Ling’er act childishly was difficult to resist.

Ah, after all, she’s my disciple.

She deserves to be pampered!

Just hope she doesn’t get too out of hand tonight…
