His mind couldn't help but recall the scene of her undergarment falling just a moment ago.
Though he didn't dare to look closely, that fleeting glimpse had already left a profound impression in his mind.
Right now, because Yuan Shu was leaning forward slightly, those curves seemed even more pronounced.
Yun Sheng's heart trembled a little.
The former Yuan Shu had always been disgusted and disdainful of him, always priding herself on her nobility and acting aloof!
She had never allowed him to touch anything of hers.
Let alone get close to her and give her a massage!
In those eyes, there had only ever been contempt and arrogance toward him!
But today, not only did she let him undress her, undress her until she was completely naked.
She even let him lay his hands on her to give her a massage?
Although her eyes still held that same aloofness and arrogance, they lacked the disdain and disgust of the past.
What was wrong with Yuan Shu?
Why had she become like this?
Could it really be that her personality had changed after reflecting on her mistakes at the Cliff of Repentance?
Yun Sheng let his imagination run wild, but his gaze uncontrollably swept over the beautiful bare back presented before him time and time again.
Although he was of lowly birth, he was not ignorant of the affairs between men and women.
On the contrary, because of his face, there were plenty of people who wanted to dual-cultivate with him, including but not limited to both men and women.
It was just that he didn't fancy any of them!
He would rather smear mud and dirt on his face to cover his breathtakingly handsome features than serve those people.
But he understood; he understood everything!
Now, the aloof, direct disciple and genius of Qingyun Peak, the apple of the Yuan family's eye, was presented to him without any barriers.
Like a piece of exquisite, flawless jade, tempting one to commit a crime.
The demon in his heart was screaming, urging him to take a step further.
But reason told him that right now, he was not worthy!
If he didn't want to be kicked out of Qingyun Peak, he had better be obedient, otherwise...
He didn't think the current Yuan Shu was any easier to talk to than the former one.
Yun Sheng suppressed his restless heart. His palms moved across her smooth, beautiful back, pressing and kneading bit by bit, striving to do his absolute best.
Yuan Shu leaned against the edge of the bathtub, so comfortable that she felt a bit drowsy.
About fifteen minutes later, Yuan Shu waved her hand, stopping his movements, and stood up from the bathtub.
Yun Sheng, showing great tact, held a large towel and dried the water off Yuan Shu's body piece by piece.
When wiping her private areas, Yun Sheng's face uncontrollably grew burning hot again.
Seeing this, Yuan Shu merely looked on calmly, not saying a word.
If he was going to stay by her side, he would have to get used to such scenes sooner or later!
She stood in the room, allowing Yun Sheng to help her put on her clothes one by one and comb her hair neatly.
Only then did she smooth out the hair sticking to the back of her neck, take out two books and a bag of spirit stones from her Divine Tree space, and hand them to Yun Sheng.
These two books, one is the Cloud Scripture Acupoint Nourishing Technique, which is a top-tier massage and acupressure method. The other is a Comprehensive Guide to Basic Medicinal Herbs.
Starting today, you don't need to participate in sect missions like the other miscellaneous disciples. Stay in the courtyard and memorize these two books thoroughly until you fully comprehend them.
From now on, I will take a medicinal bath every morning and evening. You will use the massage and acupressure techniques from the book on me.
Yun Sheng lowered his head in surprise.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Cloud Scripture Acupoint Nourishing Technique was glowing with a faint golden light. This was the precious spiritual radiance that only high-grade cultivation methods possessed, wasn't it?
Did Yuan Shu just give it to him so easily?
And this comprehensive illustrated guide to medicinal herbs, its ancient cover and slightly yellowed pages showed at a glance that it was no ordinary item!
Most importantly, Yuan Shu wasn't letting him do sect missions anymore?
Didn't that mean she would have to continuously pay spirit stones to offset his missions?
A miscellaneous disciple needed to pay a full thousand low-grade spirit stones every month. Was she really that willing to part with them?
Cook three meals a day, morning, noon, and night, and deliver them to my room. After you finish all this, you can arrange your own time. Whether you want to cultivate or rest is up to you.
You can arrange the spirit stones and pills I gave you yesterday yourself. What I gave you today is for you to hand in for the sect missions.
Yuan Shu continued speaking as she put on the accessories she had taken off before the medicinal bath.
When you have time, learn how to comb hair and dress from other female cultivators. In the future, handle these trivial matters for me properly. I never keep useless people by my side.
As Yuan Shu spoke, she raised her eyes and gave him a calm glance. Just as she was about to leave the room, she stopped in her tracks.
The water in the bathtub still has strong medicinal effects. Take off your clothes and go soak in it.
Also, when you have nothing else to do, go down the mountain and buy some spirit rice and spirit vegetables. I am a very picky eater. Those low-grade mortal foods from before are not allowed on my table.
And, I don't like men who are too skinny.
Yuan Shu slowly turned her head. Don't save the money I give you. Eat and put on some weight, otherwise, I might just kick you down the mountain at any time!
After saying these words, Yuan Shu stepped out of the washroom, leaving a dumbfounded Yun Sheng standing there.
After a long while, he finally came back to his senses and turned to look at the tightly shut door.
Did Yuan Shu close the door to let him soak in the medicinal bath in peace?
She really seemed different now!
She had said that if he stayed, she would take back those pills and spirit stones.
But she didn't take them back; instead, she gave him even more!
Yun Sheng's gaze involuntarily fell on the bathtub beside him.
Inside was the medicinal liquid for marrow cleansing?
Yun Sheng felt that he had seemingly stumbled by chance onto a broad, smooth path that could truly lead to the road of immortality!
His heart suddenly tightened.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his restless heart, and carefully put the two books, spirit stones, and pills into his clothes' pockets.
Then he stripped off all his clothes until he was completely naked and stepped into the bathtub.
The clear, crisp scent of the medicinal liquid, accompanied by the lingering body fragrance Yuan Shu had left behind, continuously drilled into his nose.
The room was quiet; he was the only one there.
He opened his mouth and breathed heavily, inhaling the scent in the air as if trying to search for something.
In his mind, he continuously recalled the scenes he had just witnessed, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
Yuan Shu, Miss Yuan...
No, now, she was his master!
He tilted his head back slightly. As he endured his body's absorption of the medicinal liquid, his Adam's apple bobbed frantically.
...
Such peaceful time did not last long.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the gate of the small courtyard was kicked open.
Yun Sheng jolted awake from a half-asleep state. The color of the medicinal liquid in the bathtub had completely faded, turning into clear water.
He had seen others take medicinal baths; this was the sign that all the medicinal effects had been absorbed by the body.
He hurriedly got up, dressed himself with extreme speed, and quickly walked out the door.
Outside, a person marched in aggressively. His brows and eyes were full of arrogance, and his gaze swept around. He had not come with good intentions.
Yun Sheng knew this person.
He was Yuan Shu's Fifth Senior Brother, named Ji Yunzhao.
And his purpose for coming...
Yun Sheng could roughly guess it.
It was for money!
Seeing the flustered and disheveled Yun Sheng, Ji Yunzhao was slightly taken aback, but he didn't think much of it and got straight to the point.
Where is Yuan Shu? Tell her to come out!
Young Master Ji, Miss Yuan is currently resting and it is not convenient for her to see guests.
Yun Sheng quickly stepped forward, blocking Ji Yunzhao's path, and spoke with a cold expression.
Not convenient to see guests? Am I a guest? You're Yun Sheng, right? You're just a miscellaneous disciple, not even considered a proper disciple of the Falling Immortal Sect. Don't forget your place!
Ji Yunzhao shot Yun Sheng a cold glare. Seeing that Yuan Shu still had not emerged, his face filled with impatience as he raised his voice and shouted, "Yuan Shu, come out here!"
"If you don't come out this instant, I'm going to barge in!"
