After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 56 - Coward

Chapter 56: Coward

“Really not going to listen?”

Luo Yueguan stood up, stepped back into the bath, and soon she dived under the water, came up to Jiang Huai, and pulled him out. Her body hugged him tightly, and Jiang Huai couldn’t break free, turning his face away to avoid her gaze.

“Let me see if your body is feeling better.”

Luo Yueguan checked his temperature, and Jiang Huai tried hard to struggle, but Luo Yueguan’s embrace was too tight, her chest almost suffocating him.

It seemed the more he struggled, the more excited Luo Yueguan became.

Crazy woman!

“You say.”

“You only need to admit you want to sleep with your master Chu Xianning, then you need to know the secret,” Luo Yueguan’s lips curled up.

“Why?”

“Once you know, you’ll understand why, but you have to admit first that you want to sleep with Chu Xianning.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Then I can’t tell you.”

“No! You…” Jiang Huai couldn’t help but slap Luo Yueguan’s butt hard, the only way he could vent his frustration.

Luo Yueguan gasped softly.

Jiang Huai was startled, thinking she was about to retaliate, but when he looked down, he realized Luo Yueguan’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes glistening and intoxicating. He was all too familiar with that look, having seen it in Luo Qingyu’s eyes as well. The next second, he pushed Luo Yueguan away.

“Forget it, I don’t want to know anymore. I’ll return to the sect tomorrow.”

“Won’t you stay a few more days?” Luo Yueguan stood in the bath, the water rippling across her chest.

“I’m not staying any longer.”

“Are you returning to the sect for something important?”

“No, nothing important.”

“Then why not stay a few more days?”

“Haha, stay here to keep you company while you go crazy?”

Jiang Huai took a step back; he was truly intimidated by Luo Yueguan now.

The more frantic he got, the more delighted Luo Yueguan became. Jiang Huai stood up from the bath, grabbed the clothes on the side, and dressed himself piece by piece. Turning his head towards the bath, he saw Luo Yueguan’s fingertips gently pinching the strap on her shoulder, seemingly ready to slip it off.

She seemed to have no intention of being discreet, but it wasn’t that she was trying to seduce Jiang Huai into doing something. In her eyes, it seemed she really didn’t see Jiang Huai as a man.

Jiang Huai turned his face away.

“I’m going back to sleep now.”

“Go ahead, I’ll send you off with my sword tomorrow.”

“Thank you for that.”

“You’re welcome.” Luo Yueguan replied softly.

Jiang Huai, now fully clothed, fled from the bath like escaping from danger.

Luo Yueguan slipped off her dress, her body soaked in the spiritual spring. She lifted her head, gazing at the bright moonlight. The serene moonlight fell upon her, and although she always felt the deep night’s silver moon was extremely cold, at this moment, she also saw some of its brightness in the moon.

Her fingertip touched her lips, the lips parted slightly, and she gently bit down on her fingertip.

A moment later, she suddenly started to laugh.

You really are a shameless woman, Luo Yueguan.

……

Jiang Huai lay in bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!

He always felt like he was being toyed with by Luo Yueguan. Rolling around in bed, Luo Yueguan’s face kept appearing in his mind.

It would be wise to have less contact with her in the future.

Thinking this, he turned over, but then he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head and saw Luo Yueguan standing at the door in her bathrobe. Jiang Huai immediately asked in annoyance.

“What are you doing here now?”

“I came to get something.”

Luo Yueguan approached the bed and took a small iron box from beside it, then gave him a playful look.

“What else did you think? That I came to offer myself to you?”

Humiliated again.

Luo Yueguan reached out and pinched his face, leaning in close.

“Can’t sleep because you’re thinking of me?”

“Have you always been so narcissistic?”

“Can’t I be?” Luo Yueguan chuckled lightly.

“Alright, alright, go to sleep.”

With that, she leaned in and lightly kissed Jiang Huai’s forehead.

Like she was pacifying a child.

Jiang Huai pulled the blanket over his face and decided not to argue with her anymore. Soon, Luo Yueguan left the room, but Jiang Huai’s mind couldn’t help but wander. She had taken the small iron box with her, so what was she doing now?

Damn it!

Jiang Huai felt he had to run away home quickly. If he didn’t see Chu Xianning soon, he was going to be completely ruined by Luo Yueguan.

……

The next day.

Jiang Huai got up early to prepare breakfast. Luo Qingyu woke up very early today and came to the kitchen to help Jiang Huai. He made three bowls of stir-fried beef ho fun and also stewed a pot of lamb bone and radish soup.

After breakfast, Luo Yueguan summoned her spirit sword. Naturally, flying on the sword was the fastest way to send Jiang Huai back. Luo Qingyu clung to Jiang Huai’s clothes, reluctant to let go. Jiang Huai thought for a moment, turned around, and gently placed his hand on Luo Qingyu’s shoulder.

“I’ll come to play with Qingyu after a while. You have to be good at Qingxuan Sect, okay?”

“Mhm.”

Jiang Huai leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Luo Qingyu was stunned, her cheeks suddenly flushed with heat, and her voice became stammering. Jiang Huai, seeing her ears turn red, leaned in and kissed the other side of her face as well.

Luo Qingyu hugged him tightly, her body feeling so soft as if it was about to melt.

……

Above the vast sky.

Luo Yueguan flew with her sword, Jiang Huai standing on her spirit sword behind her. The air around the spirit sword was blocked by spiritual energy. With Luo Yueguan’s cultivation, traveling ten thousand li in a day was a breeze, but Jiang Huai didn’t dare to look down, feeling dizzy with just one glance.

“Can we go slower…?” Jiang Huai’s voice trembled.

“Are you scared?”

“Yes.”

“How shameful.”

Luo Yueguan mercilessly mocked him, but the next second, Jiang Huai wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and grumbled, “I’m not scared like this.”

Luo Yueguan wasn’t annoyed and simply said indifferently, “Then hold on tight.”

After that, she accelerated the speed of the flying sword again. Jiang Huai’s legs went weak, and he held Luo Yueguan tightly, refusing to let go. Her body was excessively soft, and after a moment, he suddenly realized that because he was so close, his body inadvertently rubbed against Luo Yueguan’s buttocks, and he seemed to glimpse a hint of red on Luo Yueguan’s earlobe.

No, Jiang Huai Jr., you can’t be a lecher!

So Jiang Huai tried to maintain some distance, but the next second, Luo Yueguan’s spirit sword started to rock and sway, forcing him to hold her tight again. Annoyed, he leaned in and bit Luo Yueguan’s earlobe.

“Bitch.” Luo Yueguan’s curse followed immediately.

“Woof, woof, woof!”

Jiang Huai simply started to compete with her to see who could be more shameless.

Two incense sticks of time later, Luo Yueguan finally slowed down the speed of the spirit sword, and Jiang Huai stopped clinging to her, instead placing his hand on her shoulder to steady himself.

Luo Yueguan was wearing a dark purple dress today, which made her look especially dignified and proper, almost revealing no skin, which was quite unusual for Jiang Huai. He was used to seeing her in more revealing dresses in the courtyard. The ascetic aura of her current dress gave Jiang Huai a strange sense of contrast.

“How much longer until we arrive?”

“Half an hour.”

“That’s a long time.”

“Why aren’t you holding me anymore?”

“I’m tired of it.”

Luo Yueguan looked towards the distant mountains as if suddenly thinking of something, she spoke indifferently.

“Once your cultivation is restored, you should bring Qingyu to live in Tianxuan Sect.”

“Huh?” Jiang Huai was taken aback.

“Qingyu has no intention of taking over as the sect master of Qingxuan Sect. She likes to be by your side, so let her stay with you.”

“And what about you?”

“I will continue to stay in my Qingxuan Sect, be the sect master there, and just visit her occasionally.”

For some reason, Jiang Huai felt a sense of loneliness in Luo Yueguan’s voice.

Was he starting to feel sorry for her?

He looked at Luo Yueguan’s neck and suddenly thought of something, asking softly, “Sect Master Luo, I have a question.”

“Go ahead.”

“If, and I’m just saying if… I can’t find a way to cultivate again, and I want to dual cultivate with you, would you agree?”

Luo Yueguan turned to look at him.

“If you promise to take good care of Qingyu from now on, I will agree to dual cultivate with you. It’s the only thing I can do for Qingyu. It’s what I owe her and what I owe you. Consider it a bite from a dog.”

Jiang Huai looked into her eyes and suddenly fell silent.

He was a warrior of pure love; he felt that dual cultivation was something that should be done with mutual affection, willingly and lovingly.

Luo Yueguan suddenly burst into laughter, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing, just a bit surprised. My question just now was just casual talk, don’t take it seriously,” Jiang Huai said, scratching his head.

“Surprised? Anyway, in your eyes, I’m just a shameless woman, aren’t I?”

“…” Jiang Huai was speechless.

“I was the daughter of a prostitute when I was a child. If it weren’t for being sold to Qingxuan Sect by my mother, I would have been a prostitute too. But after arriving at Qingxuan Sect, I realized that I was just a cauldron prepared for the cultivation of the young sect master. There were four or five other women like me, all of whom willingly accepted their fate, becoming the young master’s favored concubines, thinking they could enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. But in the end, they were just toys, discarded as gifts by the young master once he grew tired of them.”

“I didn’t want to become someone else’s plaything, so I worked hard at my cultivation.”

“What an inspiring story,” Jiang Huai couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

Who would have thought that the daughter of a common prostitute could one day become the sect master of Qingxuan Sect, the number one sect on Yuelan Continent in the Eastern Region?

But Luo Yueguan’s expression suddenly changed, and a mocking sneer appeared on her lips, “But over the years, I’ve started to wonder if all my efforts were really worth it?”

“Huh?”

“For over five hundred years, I’ve never dared to slack off for a moment, as if a wild dog was always chasing after me, ready to tear me to shreds the moment I stopped.”

“But after becoming the sect master of Qingxuan Sect, it seems like I’ve never been happy, as if all my years of hard work were just a bubble. That bubble burst in an instant… What was the point of all the suffering I endured? Maybe I should never have fought against my fate from the beginning. What’s so bad about being someone’s plaything? At least I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.”

“Those girls who went up the mountain with me, they accepted their fate as cauldrons, at least they lived in luxury until they died, not having to do anything every day but dual cultivate with a man. Thinking about it, that seems quite pleasant, even if their lifespans were shorter. Thinking about dying that early, it seems not too bad.”

“Your thoughts are quite dangerous,” Jiang Huai’s mouth twitched slightly.

“Dangerous?” Luo Yueguan tilted her head.

“I’ve always been envious of your master, Chu Xianning. Five hundred years ago, during the great catastrophe of Moluo City, she could proudly wield her sword and slay evil cultivators, and anyone could praise the Petal Fairy for her spirit. But I didn’t dare; I could only cower in a corner, praying for Chu Xianning to be safe.”

“I relied on all sorts of despicable means to become the sect master of Qingxuan Sect, so my sword will never be as pure as your master’s, nor will I ever live as freely as she does.”

“She is a goddess concerned with the world, while I am just a cowardly, selfish, and unscrupulous wretch.”
