Chapter 143 Master's Submission
The room gradually quieted down, with only a few frogs croaking outside. It was early autumn, and the amphibians were making their last courtship calls, which went on and on, and were really annoying.
"Clap clap clap—"
""
Shen Wangshu swatted a mosquito, then opened her hands, revealing a mosquito mark on her fair palms.
Her eyes narrowed, the mosquito mark disappeared, and her little hands were clean again.
Shen Wangshu knew that only female mosquitoes bite, and that female mosquitoes suck blood in order to reproduce.
She sneered inwardly; creatures will do anything for reproduction.
For example, frogs croak incessantly to attract mates, mosquitoes suck her blood for their offspring, and they even chased the adorable little Wangshu out of her house!
They even had to wait at the gate of the courtyard and not let her hear what was happening inside. That's too much, too much!
She looked into the courtyard and saw a feather duster floating in the air. Although the thing had no eyes, Shen Wangshu could sense a gaze emanating from it—she knew that as a red-gold-grade alchemical creation, it possessed some intelligence.
Nearly seventy years later, seeing his childhood and teenage nemesis again, Shen Wangshu felt a surge of humiliation and resentment. What does this guy mean? Is he provoking little Wangshu?
Don't underestimate the might of a mere prop!
But feeling a dull ache in her buttocks, Shen Wangshu snorted and squatted back down.
For the sake of her great-grandmother, Xiao Wangshu decided not to argue with it!
The clan's territory is so lively today! It's been a long time since it's been this lively. Although as a clan of sorcerers and practitioners of healing abilities, liveliness in the Shen clan is usually not a good thing.
"Master, what is our relationship now?"
"You only ask this after I've asked you five times?"
"Master, I—"
"Are you awake now?"
"Um--"
He had actually woken up half an hour ago, but he was unwilling to face reality and didn't understand why things had developed this way with his master. So he fell into deep thought and ended up brooding for another half hour without realizing it, though he still couldn't figure it out.
Lu Ren pursed his lips, his face filled with confusion after his lust subsided.
His master absolved him of the grave sin of lust, allowing him to be consumed by desire, and then offered himself to him willingly. He racked his brains but couldn't understand the logic behind it.
"Gala Gemu isn't like that. You should wait for me to build up my affection level, then slowly unlock HCGs, and finally do this and that with me. Even if it's the kind of fan service that everyone likes, at most you can just enjoy some fan service. Why would you just throw the big prize at me like that? Gala Gemu isn't like that. I don't accept it." — Just kidding. Although his mind was a mess, Lu Ren wasn't the kind of person who would cower in fear. He was a man who truly respected his teachers.
But Lu Ren really doesn't understand, so why is that?
Could it be that Master is just that unrestrained?
Ultimately, the unauthorized sanctification of sex is nothing more than human arrogance. The three desires of food, sex, and sleep are simply normal physiological needs of living beings.
Only teenagers in their adolescence fantasize and anticipate these things, yet they avoid them like the plague, as if they were something bad. They are ashamed to talk about them, but they also feel that they are the fruits of their labor that must be endured to achieve them, which is extremely contradictory.
Actually, these are just normal biological behaviors, like eating or sleeping. They are neither bad nor good. If you're unhappy, just do it until you're happy. It's that simple.
When Lu Ren was in elementary school, his parents always made him go to bed before 9 pm. However, when he was 11...
At the age of 18, he secretly watched TV one day and unknowingly watched until 11 o'clock.
For him at the time, the world after 9 p.m. was an unknown territory. The quiet night, the TV programs after 11 p.m.—everything was so new and exciting. Just two hours later, it felt like stepping into another world. At that moment, he felt uneasy and guilty, thinking that he had done something terrible, but there was also a faint excitement of breaking the rules.
When he was 20 and went to college, he would often stay up all night, let alone stay up late, and at that time he didn't feel any emotional fluctuation at all.
So, is Master really like that too?
She was a woman who had lived for hundreds of years. Perhaps in her eyes, this kind of thing was as casual as eating and drinking. Since her apprentice had this need, she gave it to him. It was that simple.
At this moment, the master was no longer as at ease as before, and even seemed to be somewhat immersed in it.
Her master was truly a woman who knew how to enjoy life. She didn't say anything, but simply hugged his neck and suddenly whispered his name: "Lu Ren—"
Hearing her call his name like that, Lu Ren was startled, as if some emotion in his heart had been satisfied.
His voice softened almost imperceptibly as he asked, "What's wrong, Master?"
"—It's nothing."
Shen Peijue felt the life force within her body slowly becoming abundant, enough for her to move around for ten to fifteen days. She wanted to squeeze it out a couple more times, but it felt a bit like syrup.
Why has the quality deteriorated? Back in the Linjiang tribe area, he could easily squeeze ten or eight times. Could it be that this kid couldn't resist stealing the girls in his team?
Never mind, it's good enough.
She watched as his eyes regained their clarity, but he seemed a little awkward. She found it amusing, then reached out her slender, soft arm and put it around his neck, saying, "Are you coming or not? If not, get off me."
Lu Ren's lust had subsided, but he still didn't understand, and said somewhat sullenly, "Master, I don't quite understand."
"————" Shen Peijue frowned slightly, "Isn't this quite obvious to you?"
Lu Ren felt embarrassed, but he was no longer a little boy in his previous life. Even if he felt a little awkward, he was still the type to eat and take what he wanted.
A few minutes later, the master let out a sound, and both of them were momentarily dazed. When their eyes touched, it was as if they melted together, and their vision cleared up after a moment.
He quickly got up, ran to get a stack of tissues, and then came back to wipe the person clean.
Although my mind was a mess just now, thinking about this and that, wanting a reason and an answer, now looking at the results of the battle on the other side, no matter how confused I was, I suddenly felt that it was all meaningless.
"Hey, we can't waste it, don't wipe it yet."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Mo, it doesn't matter anymore. Regardless of whether his master is that type of woman or whether their feelings are there, Lu Ren is going to marry this woman!
"Oh my gosh, what kind of look is that? You're not going to make me take responsibility, are you?"
However, the white-haired girl on the bed, seemingly startled by his burning gaze, chuckled softly, then rubbed her head, looking quite helpless, and said, "You young boys are such a hassle. Master is a woman too, I just want to have some fun, don't overthink it, okay? Let me think—"
She summoned her spatial storage alchemy item, then took out five one-hundred-yuan bills, but after thinking for a moment, she changed them to six.
"I won't take advantage of you. Here, it's one hundred yuan per time."
Lu Ren stood by the bed, holding her ankle and silently wiping the drool off the back of her foot. But even after wiping it clean, he didn't let go, looking rather unhappy.
Faced with this somewhat disrespectful behavior, Shen Peijue did not reprimand him, but simply looked at him with a smile.
"Alright, alright, you're acting like a little puppy, come here!"
She kicked him, but couldn't shake off his hand that was gripping her ankle. But she was lazy at the moment and didn't care about this wicked apprentice. She lay there half-reclined and beckoned him to come closer.
Lu Ren had just sat down on the edge of the bed when she suddenly pushed him down.
Hair fell from the girl's body, landing on the side of his face, tickling him.
The master's face was very close, nose to nose, the moment was quite ambiguous.
"Now you probably know, just like Gu Tong'er, that I've been able to live for so long only because I possess a remnant of the Tai Sui."
"Master, you—"
"Let me finish."
The silver-haired girl looked down at Lu Ren, her eyes fixed on him, and said, "However, Gu Tong'er's talent is something even that cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the world acknowledges. Gu Tong'er is even a step above his master, yet he has only lived until now. Do you think I can outlive him?"
Lu Ren had a vague sense of unease. He saw his master raise his hand, and in Lu Ren's bewildered gaze, he saw that his master's slender jade hand emitted a faint yellow light.
No, it was Master's entire body, and it was faintly glowing in the dark.
"Don't you often tell Shen Yaoxing stories about that novel 'Battle Through the Heavens'? Sometimes I even suspect you know something about it, otherwise why would you give the protagonist in that book a master with a remnant soul?"
"Master, you—"
"I am not as good as Gu Tong'er. I will not live that long. But fortunately, I am a sorcerer. I have found another way out. I am just using the power of the remnant body of Tai Sui to become a soul residing in the Shen Clan's Divine Tree."
She stared intently into his eyes and said, "Master wasn't lying to you just now. Saving the people of the whole city has depleted a lot of my reserves."
Lu Ren's mood plummeted, but many things made sense. No wonder almost no one in the Shen clan had ever seen her. No wonder she was so strong. But even after the Shen clan's sacred tree was poisoned by the Divine Mother Cult ten years ago, her master did not step forward to fight against the Divine Mother Cult.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Since his master was telling him these things at this time, it was clear that she wasn't completely without options.
"So what do we do now? Is there anything I can do?"
"Bring out your sword."
"sword?"
"I'll give you the sword forged from that tree branch."
"oh oh."
Lu Ren took out the small wooden sword, puzzled as to why his master suddenly brought it up. But then he saw the silver-haired girl suddenly disappear, while the sword floated up.
"Master, you?!"
"This branch is the core of the Shen Clan's Divine Tree. The power I brought from the Divine Tree this time was almost completely used up in order to help the people in the city. So to be precise, the wooden sword you refined here is the original form of Master. The main trunk in the clan's territory can only serve as a backup now."
Lu Ren was surprised. "Then, Master, you're giving me this core?"
"Fool, didn't you see that the Shen family's divine tree is on the verge of withering? Once the divine tree dies completely, Master will be finished too."
The illusory figure of the silver-haired girl reappeared in a semi-transparent form. She put her hands on her hips and said, "To tell you the truth, Master doesn't want to die yet. I want to continue living. I think you're a good kid, so I'm having you sign a contract with my current body so that you can support me."
"So that's how it is—"
Lu Ren pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do I need to do?"
"Strive to become stronger. As long as you become stronger, your master will be able to recover his power. Also, because the wooden sword is not a divine tree, but just an inanimate object without life, and your master cannot grasp life on his own, you must make offerings to your master regularly."
"Offering a means to survive?"
The girl in white licked the corner of her lips, and Lu Ren immediately understood what it was.
Lu Ren's expression was strange. "That thing?"
"It's weird, isn't it? But it's that thing, and only your thing works. Now, Master can't live without your thing—"
"Stop, Master, you really need to spend less time online. Where do you see all this weird stuff?"
The white-haired girl looked at him, smiled but didn't say anything. Actually, feeding her blood was fine, but she was from Dayu, not a foreigner, and didn't like red; she only liked drinking white.
"That's perfect. Because of the price of that sin of lust, you will have that kind of need. Just treat your master as your tool for dealing with it. You don't need to have any psychological burden."
Lu Ren: "————" Things suddenly got very strange, and this woman was really like a fairy. Although what she said was terrible, looking at her face, little Lu Ren couldn't help but jump again.
"Master, how can I bring you back to life?"
"resurrection?"
The white-haired girl was taken aback, then explained, "You seem to have misunderstood something. Master is not dead. Back then, Master felt that his time was coming to an end, so he simply changed the way of prolonging his life."
She suddenly transformed from a semi-spirit into a physical being, and then pinched his ear; it was a real touch.
"Look, Master can still touch and feel. You can think of me as the tree spirit of the Shen Clan Divine Tree. But because the tree is about to die, Master has to choose a new master. He just happens to think you have good aptitude. If you die, I will go back to this sword to sleep and wait for the next master. I can live for thousands of years without any problem. But only a powerful sorcerer like Master can do this."
"Master, what about master and such—"
"What, you want to hear me call you master?"
"Want to hear it?"
The white-haired girl, looking annoyed, punched him on the head: "You actually had expectations!"
"Then Master, you want me to find that remnant of the Tai Sui?"
"If you can find a second fragment of the Tai Sui, you might be able to revive the Divine Tree. If you can revive the Divine Tree, your master won't have to submit to you."
Lu Ren understood at this moment that his master's current state was equivalent to "giving up her physical body" and choosing to exist in the form of a soul. However, she needed a vessel, and before becoming a soul, she was bound to the Shen family's divine tree.
If a soul is constantly separated from its vessel, it will gradually become weak. She needs to reside in the divine tree, or in the core that was taken from the divine tree at this moment, which is the sword in Lu Ren's hand. Now, this sword has become Lu Ren's alchemical creation and has signed a contract with him.
You must either obtain life and power from the sacred tree, or you must obtain life and power from him.
However, the divine tree is now nearing its end and can only offer her so much. Therefore, she has decided to dedicate herself to him, or until he finds the remains of the Tai Sui and helps the Shen Clan divine tree regain its vitality.
Seeing him suddenly fall silent, the silver-haired girl immediately became dissatisfied and said, "What, you're not happy? You little ingrate, you've wronged me—"
"I'm not unwilling, it's just—" Lu Ren said with some worry, "The remains of that Tai Sui were stolen by a mysterious woman."
Shen Peijue, feeling a bit dizzy from eating too much, nestled lazily in his arms.
Lu Ren was a little reserved, still not used to being so close to his master, but he was actually a little excited inside.
The silver-haired girl idly twirled her hair with her fingers and chuckled, "Stolen? I don't think so."
