What does this traitorous disciple want to do?

“Ah—that’s finally comfortable.”

After buying the celebratory wine, Su Wanqing didn’t immediately return to the inn.

Instead, she took a good stroll around the small town, only returning to her room with some food when it got dark.

Because she knew that her next trip down the mountain wouldn’t be for a while, it could be a few years, or perhaps over a decade…

In any case, she wouldn’t choose to descend the mountain again unless absolutely necessary. Who knew if she’d get entangled with someone else again?

This time it was the lesbian Shen Xianyue, but what about next time?

Who knew if there would be another Zhang Xianyue or Li Xianyue or something?

Moreover, this was, after all, a real world.

Shen Xianyue was a crazy psychopath in the original novel, but that was from a perspective that could connect with the female lead’s viewpoint.

Or even from a more censored perspective in the original work.

The real cultivation world was far more dangerous and insane.

Not to mention those renowned demonic cultivators.

Even among those who claimed to be righteous cultivators, how many had truly clean backgrounds?

“Sigh—”

Thinking of this, Su Wanqing suddenly sighed.

She eventually stopped pondering and instead, her mood shifted as she looked at the food she had bought on the table.

Anyway, these matters had nothing to do with her, a cannon fodder female supporting character. They were all things for future powerful cultivators to worry about.

For her, Su Wanqing, let alone considering the common people, just living well in the present was good enough.

Perhaps she would be stuck at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage for her entire life, unable to break through until she died of old age.

Moreover, she couldn’t even live for herself right now.

She didn’t know when she would truly be able to change her destiny.

She only hoped that the female lead, Ning Yuer, would grow up quickly so she could be freed from her sea of suffering sooner.

“……”

However, Su Wanqing also knew that given her situation, it would be difficult for her to truly control her own destiny and remain uncorrupted.

As long as she possessed alluring bones, her life would not be peaceful for a day.

Moreover, she still had a special physique that hadn’t been discovered yet…

After much thought, Su Wanqing felt that her situation seemed quite suited for living in seclusion in the mountains. Only then could she, who carried such misfortune, be free from worry.

Of course, while this wasn’t the “traveling the world with a sword” she had fantasized about after transmigrating, it could at least protect her.

Yes, after arriving in this world, Su Wanqing had never thought of cultivating to the Grand Dao; she just wanted to live with a clear mind.

“Eat, eat.”

Looking at the table filled with her favorite dishes, Su Wanqing’s mood improved greatly.

She drank wine and enjoyed her meal.

At least she had taken the first step, and a crucial one at that.

Now a seed had been deeply planted in the soil.

All she had to do now was lay low until it blossomed, bore fruit, and she could harvest it.

Anyway, the karma that Tianjian Pavilion would suffer a calamity two years later due to Chen Xueli’s betrayal, as depicted in the original novel, had already disappeared.

She no longer needed to worry about any unforeseen circumstances while staying in the sect.

After all, judging by that girl Chen Xueli’s current attitude towards her, as long as she didn’t leave the sect, Chen Xueli wouldn’t do anything out of line.

She even planned to break through her cultivation, which she had originally intended to suppress for another two years.

Unlike other major sects where some disciples remained in the Golden Core stage, in Tianjian Pavilion, any disciple who reached the Golden Core stage would lose some of their disciple privileges and instead be groomed as a future elder.

Of course, the first thing a Golden Core disciple had to consider was inheriting their master’s position, unless there were two Golden Core cultivators in one lineage, or other elders had no successors.

However, such situations were rare; it was already quite impressive for an elder to cultivate one Golden Core disciple.

If Chen Xueli truly broke through to the Golden Core stage, then Su Wanqing would have every reason not to descend the mountain, handing everything over to her.

In fact, if possible, she would even want to pass on her elder position to Chen Xueli, thus freeing herself from constraints.

Of course, she knew without thinking that Chen Xueli would never agree…

About a quarter of an hour later, it was completely dark. Su Wanqing hadn’t eaten much of her food, but she had drunk quite a bit of wine.

There were three empty wine bottles on the table alone!

These bottles were as large as mineral water bottles, and all contained strong liquor, showing that Su Wanqing’s capacity for alcohol was not an exaggeration.

“Burp—”

However, after drinking so much, Su Wanqing was a little tipsy.

Although she hadn’t reached a state of complete drunkenness, she was getting close if she continued.

Suddenly, the inn room door was pushed open.

She instinctively tensed, ready to face an enemy, but relaxed her guard upon seeing that it was her rebellious disciple, Chen Xueli.

“Master, what are you doing?”

“Celebratory wine. Would you like some?”

Facing her disciple’s confusion, Su Wanqing raised her used wine glass, joking with Chen Xueli.

Because she knew, given the embarrassment of the last time, the other party would definitely not agree.

“No, I know my limits.”

“Last time was purely due to jealousy. This time, forget it. After all, I have to send you back tomorrow, and if I get too drunk, it’ll be troublesome.”

As Su Wanqing expected, Chen Xueli waved her hand in refusal, with no intention of challenging her Master again.

She sat opposite Su Wanqing, growing curious.

She had only apprehended a Golden Core fox demon, and even suffered serious injuries for it. Was that really reason enough to be this happy?

Wait…

Chen Xueli suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately snatched the wine glass from her Master’s hand.

“Hm? Do you want to compete with me again?”

“You’re injured. No drinking.”

“Alas—fine.”

Hearing her disciple’s words, Su Wanqing didn’t insist.

Instead, she rubbed her forehead and shook her head helplessly.

Anyway, she had already drunk enough and was just about to finish this bottle and stop.

Since Chen Xueli insisted, she went along with it.

“Let’s eat together.”

“It’s a bit awkward with you just sitting there watching me eat.”

“Okay.”

Chen Xueli didn’t stand on ceremony.

After all, this was her last time with her Master for two months.

Two months was the fastest she could manage; whether it was breaking through or searching for things, both were time-consuming for her.

Tonight, she needed to replenish her vitality well to endure the next two months without her Master.

“Are you completely finished over there?”

“Mm, they’ve already returned to the sect ahead of schedule.”

“Master, have you already handed that girl over to Li Ziyu?”

“Otherwise?”

“Do you want a junior sister?”

Listening to Chen Xueli’s nonsense, Su Wanqing even joked back.

She felt that the dynamic between her and her disciple was somewhat strange now.

Whether it was master and disciple, friends, enemies, or even dao companions, it touched upon all of them, yet wasn’t entirely any one of them; it was a complete anomaly.

However, Chen Xueli breaking through in these two months could be considered a cooling-off period for the two of them, allowing Su Wanqing to properly consider how to guide this girl back on track.

With two types of Gu poison on her, fleeing was definitely impossible.

In fact, choosing to escape would only lead to the opposite effect.

It might even accelerate Chen Xueli’s descent into madness, which Su Wanqing, both as a master and as someone bearing the identity of a witch doctor, did not wish to see.

“Ah~—”

As she ate, Su Wanqing yawned. It seemed the alcohol was starting to kick in.

She then decisively put down her bowl and chopsticks, took off her outer robe, leaving only her sleeping shift, and lay down on the bed to rest, urging Chen Xueli to leave.

“This master is sleepy. You should also rest early.”

But who would have thought that Chen Xueli outwardly agreed but did not leave? Instead, she took off her outer robe and walked towards Su Wanqing’s bed.

“Alright, disciple will listen to Master and rest early~♡”

“Mm, this master will sleep first.”

Because Su Wanqing was already too sleepy to open her eyes, she didn’t notice her rebellious disciple’s presumptuous actions.

She rested her head on the pillow, lying on her side, gradually relaxing her body, preparing to have a good sleep under the influence of alcohol.

And just as Su Wanqing’s drowsiness grew thicker, she suddenly felt a stir at her back.

“?”

Initially, due to her drowsiness, Su Wanqing didn’t pay attention.

Although it felt like someone had moved her blanket.

But she only thought it was her disciple being filial and covering her, so she was too lazy to open her eyes and check.

Until she felt the warmth radiating from her back, and the hands wrapped around her waist…

“…!…”

Su Wanqing’s drowsiness instantly vanished by more than half. She opened her eyes and took a full minute to compose herself before slowly turning her head.

What she saw was her disciple, stripped down to her undergarments, having burrowed into her bed, embracing her waist, and shamelessly, quietly pulling down the last remaining shift above Su Wanqing’s undergarments.

From this angle, she could clearly see Chen Xueli’s upper body, clad only in a dudou—her fair skin, collarbones, and cleavage.

At this moment, ten thousand alpacas stampeded through Su Wanqing’s mind, and she felt her heart skip a beat.

This rebellious disciple… what is she trying to do?
