Although Chu Xingchen's smile was quite exasperating.
Xie Lingyu still couldn't bring herself to ruthlessly bully him again.
The reason was simple: San Dong was walking over, carrying a spirit herb on its shoulder.
Xie Lingyu's divine sense was now more responsive than Chu Xingchen's. She looked over, then gently raised her hand, summoning both San Dong and the medicinal herb over together.
San Dong, looking completely unfazed, was summoned onto the table, and the spirit plant was placed to the side.
Looking at San Dong's expression, Chu Xingchen figured that this little flower spirit was probably used to being summoned back and forth with spiritual energy by others.
"Even though you are the Sect Master, you really make people worry." San Dong first smiled and nodded at Xie Lingyu in greeting, then its little face turned serious, speaking like a little adult,
"Every time you go out, you end up injured. You're either bedridden or you lose your hearing."
As San Dong spoke, it reached out and patted the spirit plant beside it, saying with a proud expression:
"But don't worry! As long as the Sect Master eats this, you'll recover very quickly in just a few days!"
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen looked at the spirit plant San Dong was patting.
This thing wasn't anything rare; it was just a normal spirit plant for replenishing qi and blood. However, its healing efficacy on him... was even less effective than Chu Xingchen taking a sip of fruit juice.
"Where did San Dong find these?" Chu Xingchen asked curiously.
San Dong smiled innocently and said, "I found them in this mountain. San Dong also found a lot of good things. Don't worry, Sect Master, San Dong wouldn't give you just any random junk to eat."
"When San Dong got hurt in the past, I used to eat this medicine a lot. After eating it, I would get better in just a few days."
"The effect is absolutely great."
Saying so, San Dong handed the spirit plant to Chu Xingchen.
Chu Xingchen didn't hesitate; he reached out, took it, and started munching on it.
Naturally, Chu Xingchen didn't expect this thing to actually provide any healing effects. Rather than saying the plant healed San Dong in a few days, it was more likely that San Dong relied on its own recovery abilities, rather than this unrefined spirit plant.
However, San Dong's attitude was sincere, and it was all out of good intentions.
This thing wasn't terrible to eat; he just treated it as eating a piece of raw lettuce.
San Dong's world was very simple, and Chu Xingchen had no intention of complicating it.
As long as San Dong was willing to continue being a happy mascot, Chu Xingchen was naturally willing to let it be.
"Thank you, San Dong," Chu Xingchen swallowed the mouthful and then gave a thumbs up, saying, "I can feel the effects as soon as I ate it."
"Hehe." San Dong put its little hands behind its back, looking a bit shy after being praised. "As long as it's useful. But compared to taking medicine, it's better not to get hurt in the first place."
Chu Xingchen chuckled and nodded. He picked up an empty cup nearby and poured a cup of spirit fruit juice for San Dong.
San Dong looked at the spirit fruit juice and repeatedly shook its head, saying:
"San Dong didn't come here to..."
"This is sharing," Chu Xingchen interrupted what San Dong was about to say, speaking with a light smile. "We are good friends, and we are also family within the same sect. If San Dong has good things, you will definitely share them with me, so if I have good things, I will share them with San Dong too."
"Not for any personal gain, but simply because San Dong likes everyone in this sect, and everyone in the sect likes San Dong."
Hearing these words, San Dong's expression instantly became extremely moved, its big, watery eyes staring straight at Chu Xingchen.
A moment later, San Dong spoke with a firm tone, praising him with the most sincere words it could think of:
"Sect Master is truly a great person."
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen decisively threw the good person label right back at San Dong:
"San Dong is also a truly great person."
"Sect Master is even better!"
"San Dong isn't bad either!"
"Alright, alright, both San Dong and Master are very good."
Li Yingling and Li Xingtian walked in from outside the courtyard, smiles appearing on their faces as they joined the conversation.
They really had to hand it to their master.
One's mind was so complex it could weave a fishing net, while the other's mind was so pure it didn't even have a single hook.
And yet, these two could still praise each other for being great people.
One didn't even need to think too hard to understand—their master had started coaxing San Dong again.
Li Xingtian walked up quickly, looked at his master for a moment, and ultimately only spat out a single word:
"Master."
Chu Xingchen blinked and smiled:
"Oh, is the busy man Li Xingtian finally done with his work?"
"Master, please don't tease me," Li Xingtian said, looking slightly helpless.
Chu Xingchen crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Xingtian has changed. He won't even let his master tease him anymore. You've really grown up. Thinking about the future... being a master is truly difficult."
"Master, if you're going to talk like that, you might as well just tease me."
"Hehe, I am teasing you right now," Chu Xingchen laughed.
Seeing this, Li Xingtian couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
His master was still the same as always.
After smiling and greeting Xie Lingyu, Li Yingling consciously took a seat to the side:
"Thanks to Mistress's care, Master's complexion is much better than before."
Xie Lingyu gently shook her head and said sincerely:
"At most, I just chat with your master and do some trivial things. When it comes to true attentiveness, I still can't compare to Bai Qing."
Bai Qing left most of the time for her and Chu Xingchen. She would only come about two or three times a day, and every time she came, she would cook some different food.
After the meals were eaten and the things were tidied up, she would chat for a moment and then leave.
Besides being delicious, the ingredients inside were also extremely exquisite, most of them having the effect of recovering from injuries.
One could tell at a glance that she had truly put a lot of thought into it.
It was a case of spending a lot of time on her master, even if she wasn't constantly by his side keeping him company.
Even though Chu Xingchen said there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Bai Qing had also learned her master's skill—being shamelessly persistent.
A single sentence, "Does Master dislike Bai Qing doing these things?" was enough to block Chu Xingchen's words.
Xie Lingyu saw it clearly. Honestly speaking, who wouldn't like a disciple like Chen Bai Qing?
Chu Xingchen's gaze swept over them. "Where did that brat Cui Hao run off to again?"
Li Yingling sighed and gently shook her head, saying:
"Donggua was brought back a few days ago. She is very stubborn. She can even withstand Master's pills, and just keeps shouting for Cui Hao to see her."
"Upon hearing this, Cui Hao actually decided to go meet her, and he also called Fourth Junior Sister to go with him, saying he wanted to use Fourth Junior Sister's awe-inspiring righteousness to influence her."
Because Chu Xingchen was injured, many matters that were originally hosted by him were distributed to Li Yingling and the others to handle.
Especially for joint operations involving multiple sects, having Chu Xingchen's disciples preside over them made it easier to gain the understanding of the major sects.
After the battle in Xiniu Hezhou, Chu Xingchen had naturally become a legend.
Among his feats, carrying out heaven's punishment had completely shattered many people's understanding.
The wrapping-up matters were also far more numerous than the tasks themselves.
Nowadays, Li Yingling and the others were naturally extremely busy, but they had also made an agreement among their fellow disciples.
Unless it was a truly major matter, they would try their best not to trouble their master.
This was the reason for Chu Xingchen's current leisure.
Hearing Li Yingling's answer, Chu Xingchen also fell slightly silent.
Hopefully... Cui Hao could reform her.
"Cui Hao! Cui Hao! Cui Hao!"
Cui Hao stood outside the profound iron stone door. Even before seeing her, he heard Donggua's heart-wrenching roar.
Even he looked quite bewildered.
He hadn't even seen the person yet, but this resentment had already pierced through the heavens.
He hadn't seen her for a long time; how did it feel like the hatred had more than doubled?
Lin Luoyu stood to the side, her gaze involuntarily falling upon Cui Hao as a hint of scrutiny crept into her expression.
Wearing a look of utter innocence, Cui Hao hastily waved his hands.
"I really didn't do anything!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
