Chapter 58: Become this young master's mistress

  "Box box box box"

  The ceramic cup started to shake and sway, the lid and body of the cup rattling, making a clattering sound. Gradually, under such extremely unstable conditions, the ceramic cup surprisingly began to float slowly upwards, one inch, two inches... then no matter what, it stopped moving, firmly staying at the position of two inches.

  Xia furrowed his brow and continued to urge on his spiritual power.

  "Bang!"

  The ceramic cup suddenly lost control and fell to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

  Xia Lin smiled bitterly and also understood that two inches was already his limit for a zeroth-level cultivator's mental power.

  It seems that the commotion just now was too loud, a murmuring sound came over, and Green's small mouth moved slightly, as if she could wake up at any time.

  Is Lu'er waking up?

  Xia's face showed a look of surprise, and Nianhun flashed back into his body.

  Splash!

  As the soul returned, Xia Lin's eyes suddenly opened, and he jumped down from the table, stretching his waist deeply. He was very satisfied with tonight's cultivation. In just one night, he gained an understanding of the second layer of the Breaking Sky Technique, condensed his soul, successfully summoned it, and became a true cultivator.

  She walked quietly to the bedside, where Green was sleeping peacefully. Her skin was as smooth as condensed milk, with a subtle flush of pink beneath her snowy complexion, as if she could be squeezed out like water. The hazy dream-filled Green seemed to possess a different kind of beauty.

  Sixteen years of hand in hand, this feeling has long been engraved in my heart.

  Xia Lin smiled slightly and gently kissed her forehead.

  Just then, Green's eyelashes moved slightly, as if she felt something, and then calmed down again, as if she had gradually fallen asleep.

  "Are you awake?"

  Xia Lin asked in a soft voice, but there was no response.

  Aren't you awake yet?

  Just as Xia Lin was puzzled, he saw a faint blush appear on Lu'er's small face, and suddenly smiled, Little girl, you're still shy.

  "I'm telling you, Ah Niang, if you don't wake up now, I'll have to take off your clothes." Xia Lin teased, looking at her blushing face, and then prepared to remove her clothes.

  "Ah, Master." Lü'er suddenly sat up, her small face flushing as she looked at Xia Lin, "I knew you'd bully me."

  Xia Lin burst out laughing and helped her up, "How are you? Is anything uncomfortable?"

  "Huh?" Lü'er was taken aback, yesterday's events suddenly rising to the surface of her mind. She hastily waved her hand and said: "Young master, I didn't intentionally look at that secret manual or whatever it is... I just picked it up and it lit up on its own..."

  "Did you glow yourself?" Xia Lin asked with feigned ignorance.

  "Mm-hmm, okay." Lü'er nodded vigorously with her small head.

  "If someone said that to you, would you believe it?" Xia Lin asked.

  "Me..." Green's head lowered, then lifted again, "But it really is glowing on its own..."

  "Sneaking a peek at martial arts secrets and practicing them privately, do you know what kind of crime that is?" Xia Lin said calmly.

  "I know... either give up or abandon my martial arts, and be imprisoned in the mountains." Lü'er said timidly, then looked at Xia Lin with a tense expression: "Young Master, can I stay by your side to redeem myself?"

  Xia Lin looked at her with great surprise, "Good fellow, little girl can even negotiate terms?"

  Lu'er felt a bit embarrassed being stared at by Xia Lin, her small hands pinched the hem of her clothes, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "I... don't want any silver or anything else, I'm strong and can cook, just one meal a day is fine, Master, please don't send me away."

  Xia Lin let out a sigh and his mind to tease Lu'er was gone in an instant.

  He can be carefree, but Lü'er is always anxious and insecure, with the inferiority complex of being a former servant girl making her lack confidence. Sometimes, even when she knows he's probably joking, she still feels like it's true. Even though she knows Xia Lin likes her, she's always afraid of being abandoned.

  Such a state of mind, Xia Lin had experienced before. Before coming here, he was just a small doctor, facing the woman he deeply loved, facing her as a rich family's daughter, always hesitant and afraid, worried and self-abased. His attitude only made this relationship break faster. In less than half a year, they broke up. Since then, he became even more self-abased and introverted, crazily indulging in medical experiments until... an accident occurred in the experiment, bringing him here.

  Now that I think about it, it's actually a matter of attitude. If he could have handled it calmly, the relationship might have lasted longer, or even forever, and wouldn't have become a regret.

  "Master..." Green saw that Xia Lin was slow to respond, his complexion not looking too good either. He became somewhat frightened, his small face pale, tears already welling up in his eyes.

  Xia Lin gently shook her head, looking at the greenery in front of her with pear blossoms and rain, embracing her delicate body, holding her close to her chest, and kissing that cherry little mouth.

  "Ah——" Lü'er's eyes suddenly widened, as if she didn't dare to believe what was happening. Her arms stiffened and she looked like she was about to lose control. After a long time, she slowly wrapped her arms around Xia Lin's back.

  Summer arrived, but he didn't care about that. He kissed her for a long time before lifting his head up. Lu'er's pale little face was now completely red, and she buried herself in his chest, too shy to lift her head.

  Green Girl

  "En." Green's soft voice replied, if Xia Lin hadn't made progress in her current strength, she might not have even heard it.

  "Sorry, I won't make this kind of joke again."

  "Alright."

  "When this young master's wife is pressed down."

  "En... ...en?" Lü'er suddenly lifted her head, looking at Xia Lin in incredulity.

  "Huh, why are you staring at me like that?" Xia Lin touched her own face, "There's no flower on my face."

  "Master!" Green shouted with a red face, "You just said you wouldn't joke around anymore, and now you're making fun of others again."

  Xia Lin looked at her with a serious expression and said word by word: "I'm not joking!"

  Lu'er stood frozen in place for a long time, then lowered her head. "Young Master, I'm just a maid...I...can't do anything and can't help with anything either. You should find a miss who is worthy of your family...I...I..."

  Xia Lin didn't wait for her to finish, directly interrupting her, and turned Lu'er's head around, staring at her with a fierce expression: "You're saying that you took away my first kiss, now you don't want to take responsibility?"

  "Huh?" Lü'er looked at him blankly, feeling that her little brain wasn't enough.

  Xia Lin said with a pained expression: "Men and women should not be intimate, but now that we have this kind of relationship, you don't want to take responsibility. How can I marry someone else in the future? Since you want to marry me, it seems I have no choice but to cut my own throat to prove my innocence."

  Lu'er stared blankly at the side, then reacted and stomped her foot, her face flushing red: "Young master! I'm...I'm talking seriously, don't mess around."

  Xia Lian said seriously: "Can't I be serious for once?"

  "But... but..." Green thought of something to say, but couldn't get it out.

  Xia Lin suddenly picked her up, "I'm telling you, little girl, it seems like you've forgotten that you're still sleeping in Ben Shao's bed right now. Believe me or not, I'll carry you around the mountain stronghold and let everyone take a look."

  "Don't... you're the boss now." Green struggled a bit, but unfortunately, under Xia Lin's bear hug, she couldn't struggle at all.

  "What's wrong with the village head? In those days, my father didn't even abduct my mother to get married?" Xia Lin said nonchalantly, then leaned in close to Lu'er and said: "Little girl, I'll give you one last chance. Agree and it's settled. Disagree, and I'll carry you on my back and run a lap around the mountain village."

  "How can you be so shameless?" Green angrily said.

  Xia Lin didn't waste words and hugged her as they walked out together.

  "Oh dear, I agree then." Lü'er hastily said.

  Summer arrived with a smile and finally put her down, "So... Green Girl, from today on, you are the mistress of this village, haha."

  Lu'er nodded silently, still looking at him with some worry, "You're also a fool, maybe in the future I'll be your burden, and I won't be able to practice martial arts, so I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself."

  "I'll protect you." Xia Lin said seriously, but when he got to this point, he suddenly remembered something, "Lu'er, who said you can't practice martial arts?"

  "Huh?" Greenie tilted her little head and thought for a moment, "Can't, I secretly practiced when I was younger."

  "Practiced in secret..."

  "Yes, when we were young, the master didn't let the young master cultivate, but the young master couldn't cultivate either. So I thought that after I cultivated, I would protect the young master. Who knew that I also couldn't cultivate? No matter how hard I tried to cultivate, it was all useless." Green said with some embarrassment, but she also knew that the young master wouldn't mind these things, so she spoke out quite relaxedly.

  Xia Lin shook her head helplessly and patted her head, "Lu'er, do you know? Not being able to cultivate martial arts doesn't necessarily mean one is useless, it's also possible that they're a genius!"

  "Oh." Lǜ ér nodded thoughtfully, "Is Young Master referring to himself?"

  In her opinion, Young Master was unable to cultivate in the past, but now he has become a master, he must be a genius!

  "Me?" Xia Lin was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Right. I am, and so are you."

  "Ah?" Lü'er was stunned, her big eyes blinking at Xia Lin, feeling a bit unbelievable. "Young Master... can I also cultivate like you?"

  "Of course!"

  "Why is it that no matter how hard I cultivate, there's no reaction?" Greenie looked puzzled for a moment before her face turned red and she said, "Could it be that I also need to bathe for five years like Young Master?"

  "Taking a bath... five years..."

  Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't explain the concept of acupuncture to Lu'er, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "No need for that, do you still remember Zuo Haotian?"

  "Zuo Haotian?" Lü'er thought for a moment and said in surprise: "That cultivator?"

  "En." Xia Lin nodded, "What do you think of Nian Zhe?"

  "He's too strong. That appearance, all white and misty, is like a celestial being, it's terrifying." Lü'er thought back to that day's situation and said, but after thinking for a moment, she seemed to feel that saying this would hurt Young Master's self-esteem, so she weakly added: "Of course, since Young Master defeated him, he must be even more formidable."
