...
"Master, how is this." Opening the door of the dressing room, Ming Yuelin asked with a proud smile on her lips.
Looking at the blue and white clothes she was wearing, Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement "Hm. It looks great."
"Hehe." Smiling, she closed the door and began to wear her next dress.
At this time, Xue Hua walked to him with two sets of robes in her hand "Master. I have selected the clothes I need to buy."
Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to her and smiled fondly "Two won't be enough. Come with me..."
Eh? Xue Hua followed behind him and walked to the set of expensive robes placed on the rack.
Looking through them, Zhang Yuan chose seven more robes and placed them in her hand "Buy them too... oh, you need different ones?"
Xue Hua hesitated as she didn't need expensive robes but ultimately gave up and nodded her head "Master, the ones you selected are enough."
Letting out a soft sigh, Zhang Yuan patted her head "Hua, you are my disciple now. So don't hesitate to ask or tell me anything."
Feeling his pat on her head, a slight blush colored across her expressionless face and she gave a nod "Yes, Master."
"Master... come here." As Ming Yuelin called him, Zhang Yuan went to her.
Xue Hua raised her hand placing it on her head as she closed her eyes "His touch... soft and warm like Mother's." a slight smile appeared at the corner of her lips thinking about it.
...
"Yossh! Now we have bought the clothes. Master, shall we go to eat something next?"
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and spoke "Let's go to the center of the town first."
As they walked to the center, they saw a lot of people gather there. And almost every one of them is a cultivator.
Hm? Ming Yuelin's eyes glanced around and at the center of the big circle, she saw a huge red altar and the top of it looked like a red Phoenix.
"This is the door to the Inheritance ground?"
Xue Hua gave a nod and muttered "It opens for every 100 years."
Ming Yuelin glanced at all the people gathered there and mumbled "Everyone is here waiting for the opening of the Inheritance ground?"
"Yeah.."
(๑° ⌓°) "Master... I need to get the inheritance, surpassing everyone here? Sounds impossible."
Zhang Yuan grabbed her ear and pulled her "How can you say that after I have helped you improve so much, huh? You are the second talented candidate among the people who will enter the Inheritance"
(>﹏<)Ming Yuelin hit his shoulder "Master, please don't tease meeeee like that!" with a playful pout on her face.
But then she stopped and hugged his arm "Master.. you said I am second. Who is the first?"
With a smile, Zhang Yuan spoke "Hong Shi."
Being the protagonist of this world and the protagonist's luck halo would surely benefit her; that is how fate should work.
But now that he is here, will it work like that?
His presence alone is affecting the world and fate along with the future is consistently changing with his every move. That is why his wife is angry at him.
*angry Shui Yin noises*
"Hong Shi..." A murmur left Xue Hua's lips but she also didn't disagree with the statement because, after the era of Sovereigns, she was the first one to condense a Golden Profound Sea.
However, Ming Yuelin raised her chest proudly "But I have Master with me, so everything will be alright, hehe."
Zhang Yuan shook his head "No, only people in the Spirit Profound stage and below can enter, so don't expect me to come and help you in the Inheritance ground."
WHA- Ming Yuelin's eyes furrowed in concern "Then... how can I?"
"Don't worry... you can. Come let's go. We will come here after three days."
...
It is already evening and the sky is filled with darker clouds obstructing the evening sunlight.
Hong Shi was sitting at the window, her eyes glancing at the thunderous clouds in the sky as the chilly breeze tousled her silver hair.
A sigh escaped her lips "That day is also a rainy evening... the last time I met Master Yuan."
"You told me that fate will let us meet once again and I am still waiting for that, Master Yuan." she mumbled, her lips curling up into a smile.
*knock* "My Lady."
"Come in."
The female servant came in with a teacup in her hand and walked to Hong Shi "My Lady... the thunderstorm is frequent around this area in times like this. So, it is better if you close the window."
Hong Shi, however, shook her head "No problem."
Standing on the balcony, Feng Xinyi looked at the dark sky and sighed "I can't go to the forest because of the rain. I will go tomorrow."
...
It was already night and the rain was pouring heavily, lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness, while the booming echoes of thunder reverberated through the air.
*thoom* As the thunder fell, Ming Yuelin who was eating her food on the dining table, her body shrieked in fear.
Zhang Yuan smiled wryly; Are you for real "You are scared of thunders, Lin'er?"
Ming Yuelin's head dropped and she gave a nod "Yeah, kind of..."
Mei Yu chuckled seeing her face and Ming Yuelin pouted her lips "Don't tease me, Sister Yu. Everyone is scared of something..."
Xue Hua sat there silently eating her food.
...
Stretching his arms, Zhang Yuan made his way toward his room; however, at this time, Zhang Yuan felt a sudden hug from behind. and he could only sigh.
Is the usual cliche going to happen?
"Lin'er?"
"Master, I am scared of thunder... can I sleep with you?"
Zhang Yuan has no reason to refuse. Why would he miss the chance to sleep with his dear disciple, so he nodded his head "Yeah..."
Eh? He quickly accepted it? Ming Yuelin smiled happily "Thank you, Master..."
*creek* Opening the door, both of them entered Zhang Yuan's room and Ming Yuelin jumped to the bed in excitement.
Tapping the open space beside her, she beckoned him "Come, Master." she said with a smile.
Letting out a soft chuckle, he sat on the bed and lay beside her.
As he lay beside her, Ming Yuelin suddenly got nervous and looked at him in the corner of her eyes, her heartbeat rising with each second.
'W-Why am I anxious, he is my Master. He won't do anything to me in bed.'
Even though she says that, a part of her... a small part of her wanted him to touch her? maybeee....
Perhaps a small part of her secretly yearned for his touch.
(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) 'NOOOO!!! What the hell is my dumb brain thinking? Go!!! Begone Evil spirits wahhhhhhh!'
"Lin'er."
Hm? Ming Yuelin turned her head and looked at his face. As he is quite close to him, their faces are only inches apart, and glancing into his golden eyes, a blush crept upon her cheeks.
"M-Master..." On the cool night, a hot breath escaped her lips.
"Is it cold?" Zhang Yuan asked as he pulled the quilt and covered both of their bodies.
Hearing his soft voice and gentle eyes, Ming Yuelin's heart trembled and as if attracted by a magnet she moved close to him irresistingly.
She slowly raised her hands placing them on his shoulders, their faces only centimeters apart, his hot breath tickling her face.
"Master, it is so cold..." She softly mumbled before cuddling her face on his neck and her hands went down hugging his waist.
Feeling the warmth of his body heating her skin, Ming Yuelin's eyes quivered and she nestled her body into his embrace.
'Why... when I am with my Master close like this, I feel so sweet in my heart and weird emotions... I am so happy.'
'Maybe... I have developed forbidden feelings for my Master?'
"Master..." she muttered his name as she hugged him even tighter to enjoy his body's warmth.
'Master always pats me like a child and takes care. Does... he look at me like his daughter? N-No... I don't want Master to see me like that... my heart hurts....'
'Master...'
Zhang Yuan smiled, his eyes softening in affection and he hugged her back.
Feeling his arms encircling around her waist, a smile took over Ming Yuelin's lips...
'I love you, Master...'
Words unconsciously slipped past her mind as they enjoyed the cozy warmth of each other on the cold night.
