Chapter 53: Master’s Safety

Bai Yue was a little dazed.

She thought she had misheard, and couldn’t help but confirm with Su Qiuyue again.

“You… you really want to acknowledge me as Master?”

“Yes. Are you regretting it?”

Su Qiuyue countered.

“Of course not. With your talent, I was more worried you’d look down on my low cultivation and be unwilling to become my disciple.”

“Actually, I wanted you to be my disciple from the start. Now that you agree, of course I’m happy.”

Bai Yue said sincerely.

Su Qiuyue nodded, her answer just as honest.

“You possess extraordinary abilities. Whether you become a powerful figure yourself or cultivate others to become one, it’s only a matter of time.”

“Being able to take you as my Master is my fortune as well.”

She clearly understood the terrifying potential under Bai Yue’s strange ability, and at the same time, she placed all her hope on Bai Yue.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qiuyue dropped to both knees and bowed deeply to Bai Yue.

“Master.”

Su Qiuyue called solemnly.

Seeing Su Qiuyue perform such a great salute, Bai Yue naturally couldn’t remain unmoved.

She still needed Su Qiuyue’s strength to help them deal with the threat of the Fire Demon.

“Qiuyue, stand up. I’m not that strict with rules.”

Bai Yue said, stepping forward to help the kneeling Su Qiuyue up.

When Su Qiuyue was lifted by Bai Yue, she felt a wave of astonishment.

Without using Divine Sense, Bai Yue could physically touch her Remnant Soul and even help her up.

It was simply unbelievable.

Su Qiuyue stared at Bai Yue in shock, her eyes filled with confusion.

“Qiuyue, what’s wrong?”

Bai Yue saw Su Qiuyue staring straight at her and was also puzzled.

“Master, you can actually touch my Remnant Soul with your body and lift me up… How did you do it?”

Su Qiuyue had survived as a Remnant Soul for countless years and had deep understanding of the Way of the Soul.

Even so, facing Bai Yue’s action just now, she couldn’t comprehend it at all.

One had to know, Bai Yue was only a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.

It was only then that Bai Yue belatedly realized something was wrong.

She could touch Su Qiuyue’s Remnant Soul and help her up—this was indeed abnormal.

“I don’t know how it happened either.”

Bai Yue smiled helplessly.

“Anyway, there are many strange things about me that I still can’t figure out. I can only slowly find the answers in the future.”

“The most important thing right now is to eliminate the Fire Demon.”

She paused, then added.

“After all, the Night of the Full Moon is getting closer.”

Now that Su Qiuyue had officially joined the team, with the strength she’d shown, she should be enough to defeat the Transformation God Stage Fire Demon.

Especially with Mu Chenxi’s enhanced power, it was even more reassuring.

At this rate, they might not even need Yan Hua’s help to deal with the Fire Demon.

“That’s right. The urgent matter now is to defeat the Fire Demon.”

Su Qiuyue nodded in agreement, but she had no intention of underestimating the Fire Demon.

“Master, what should we do next? Do you have a plan?”

Su Qiuyue proactively handed over decision-making to Bai Yue.

Although her cultivation, knowledge, and insight were all higher than Bai Yue’s, since she had acknowledged Bai Yue as her Master, she should give her enough respect.

If Bai Yue’s plan had any flaws or mistakes, she would just point them out then.

“My plan is to let you enter my Sea of Consciousness first and nourish your soul properly.”

Bai Yue looked at Su Qiuyue.

“But I don’t know if you can enter my Sea of Consciousness.”

Bai Yue wasn’t worried Su Qiuyue would seize the opportunity to possess her.

After all, Su Qiuyue still needed her power to return to the past and save her parents—she wouldn’t harm her at this time.

“Master’s Sea of Consciousness can nourish my soul?”

Su Qiuyue looked shocked.

This really exceeded her understanding of the Way of the Soul.

A Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator’s Sea of Consciousness nourishing a Dao Inquiry Soul Remnant Soul was almost unimaginable.

However, the more miraculous Bai Yue was, the more hope Su Qiuyue felt in her heart.

“Then I’ll try now.”

Su Qiuyue also felt a strong desire to explore Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.

To the side, Mu Chenxi listened to their conversation, her expression tense.

“Master, you can’t let her enter your Sea of Consciousness like this. What if she…”

Mu Chenxi couldn’t help but speak up, but she couldn’t continue in front of Su Qiuyue.

“What if I possess you, right?”

Su Qiuyue picked up the topic.

She could see that Mu Chenxi still couldn’t completely trust her.

“Senior Sister, don’t worry. I need Master’s help to go back and save my parents—I’m not stupid enough to harm Master.”

Su Qiuyue explained patiently.

As a senior, she called Mu Chenxi Senior Sister to show enough respect, also hoping the other party would accept her.

Looking into Su Qiuyue’s sincere eyes, then at Master, who nodded at her, Mu Chenxi could only suppress her worries.

However, thinking of Su Qiuyue possibly entering the Hot Spring scene in Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness, she couldn’t help but remind her.

“Qiuyue, if you enter the Hot Spring scene in Master’s Sea of Consciousness and soak with Master, you mustn’t peek at her.”

Su Qiuyue’s expression became strange.

She and Bai Yue were both women.

What was there to peek at between women?

Why did Mu Chenxi feel the need to emphasize this?

She couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

“Master and I are both women. Is there anything special to peek at? Is there some taboo that would trigger an anomaly?”

Faced with Su Qiuyue’s question, Mu Chenxi was momentarily speechless, her cheeks gradually turning red.

“No… no taboo… Anyway, you can’t peek at Master when bathing in the Hot Spring…”

Mu Chenxi felt guilty, her face flushed, but she still forced herself to speak her mind.

She had always been straightforward, unable to hide her feelings.

Su Qiuyue looked at Mu Chenxi’s embarrassed appearance and suddenly understood.

It seemed this Senior Sister Chenxi’s feelings for Master were not ordinary…

“I understand, Senior Sister. I won’t peek at Master—I promise.”

As the newly initiated Junior Sister, Su Qiuyue also called Mu Chenxi Senior Sister, hoping to reassure her further.

Seeing Su Qiuyue agree, Mu Chenxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She sneaked a glance at Bai Yue, only to find Bai Yue looking at her.

Their eyes met, and she dodged away as if shocked by electricity.

Immediately, Mu Chenxi’s heart began to panic.

Oh no, is Master angry?

Does she think I’m unreasonable?

Does she think I’m too willful and capricious?

At a time when they needed to unite against the Fire Demon, did my words just now make it seem like there was internal strife…?

“Master, I’m sorry, I…”

Mu Chenxi apologized in a panic, her heart in turmoil, hands unconsciously clutching her skirt, wrinkling it.

Of course, Bai Yue had no intention of blaming Mu Chenxi.

Her dear disciple had worked so hard to save her—how could she bear to blame her?

She knew her disciple was only worried.

Seeing her jealous and troubled expression, Bai Yue took her hand into her palm.

“Chenxi, you were only thinking of my safety. There’s no need to apologize…”

Bai Yue comforted softly.

Earlier, Chenxi was worried for her personal safety.

Later, it seemed more about her physical safety…

Holding Mu Chenxi’s soft hand, Bai Yue couldn’t help but recall the Hot Spring scene in the Sea of Consciousness, where Master and disciple were bare before each other.

At that time, the steam in the Hot Spring was so white…

Bai Yue blushed and her heart raced with wild thoughts.
