“Master!”

Lin Qingcheng was the first one to rush up to Chen Wentian after he stepped out of the teleportation array of Black Rock City. She skidded to a halt and stared at him with teary eyes.

“What’s up? Did they bully you?” He asked.

“Hehe! No, master. I just missed you.”

“Come here.” He said and pulled her in for a warm hug.

Seeing this, the others also joined Lin Qingcheng and gathered around him. The mission had been a long, drawn-out affair. His disciples were all worried about his safety more than anything.

His arms found enough space for Zhou Ziyun and he hugged her as well. She was eager to hear the results but he simply patted her butt a little to tease her.

“Master, I’m glad you’re alright.” Wu Qianyu said.

She avoided his arms and gave him a formal bow. He really wanted a kiss but she avoided his evil clutches. Li Yuechan and her sisters also kept their distance and bowed. He was still their master, not a husband meeting his gaggle of wives and concubines. For him, that line was already blurry. But for some of them, there was still a distinction.

He glanced at Long Yifei and Jasmine who were standing towards the back. They had different expressions; one was looking at him with bright eyes while the other stuck out her tongue. He definitely had to punish that little fox later!

He smiled at them, “At ease, I’m glad all of you are fine as well. How was everything with the finale of the Monster Fighting Competition?”

“Reporting to master, it went well.” Zhou Ziyun said, “Sister Qianyu should be the first place. Sister Yifei should end in third place by my estimate. I’m not exactly sure but Sister Xue and Sister Yue may be in the top one hundred, it will depend on luck.”

“Mmm, that’s great! You all did a wonderful job. The association requires us to stay in the eastern provinces for a little while more to see to the end of the monster invasion. The beast kings have been beaten back so the remaining beasts and demons should be easy work.”

His own gains during the mission were quite plentiful although he did not tell his disciples this. There were still some left-over matters to handle but they required time.

He held a big feast for his disciples to celebrate the victory. It was fun, loud, and filled with joy. His disciples were happy he was finally back. He was happy that they were happy.

They chatted and laughed and ate. They were a captivated audience as he retold the story of the past few weeks. He left a lot of parts out but he described Chen Mo’s adventures in the south, the aid of the spy within Beast God Sanctum, and the siege of Beast God City.

They were amazed at times and horrified at other times. They hung onto every word until the very end.

“So, what you are saying is that we should be expecting a new sister?” Xu Lanyi asked, “When did you find so much time to waste?”

Chen Wentian really wanted to slap her ass for her impudence.

“Chen Mo wasn’t part of the siege so he had some free time. I told you!”

Su Xue and Su Yue giggled. “Master finding a new disciple is expected. I think sis is a bit jealous!”

“No, I’m not!” Xu Lanyi argued.

They all shared a laugh.

After dinner finished, the disciples went back to their rooms to cultivate. Some of them were probably hoping for him to visit them during the night for some in-person instructions. He had to disappoint them as his main focus at the moment was Jasmine.

The mission was for her. He went through all the risks and battles for her. He was eager to see how she would treat him now. Would she feel closer to him now?

Chen Wentian flew out of Black Rock City and found Jasmine sitting by herself under the moonlight. This was what Nine Tailed Moonlight Foxes did to cultivate and she was working hard. It was even possible for her to reach the same stage as him soon.

“Jasmine…” He sat down next to her on the grassy field.

She didn’t say anything but since she did not push him away, it meant she welcomed him. They sat together in silence for a while as the wind rustled the grass around them.

“Ji Tiangu is dead?” She finally spoke.

“Yeah, crushed into a thousand pieces.”

“Zhou Tong is dead?”

“He was tortured to death.”

“Good…”

Those names cut into her heart just as they did for Mei Qiaofeng and Tie Buqun. They were the ones that betrayed the Snake Lord and killed her people. Many of the culprits were still alive but it was still a huge deal to kill those two. Revenge was a step-by-step process and they had successfully made the first step.

“Hey… what are you thinking about?” He asked.

“…” She finally looked at him with tear-stained eyes. “Thank you.”

His heart swelled and he hugged her. She didn’t struggle and let him hold her. He didn’t try anything funny but simply enjoyed their closeness. Her body was small but she was warm and soft.

He adjusted their position slightly until she was completely sitting on his lap, curled into a ball. She did not object and buried her face into his chest. He scratched her ears and she let out contented moans.

“If you did not find me in that cave… Perhaps I would already be dead…” She whispered, “Perhaps Qiaofeng and Buqun would also be dead by now.”

“Hey… don’t think like that.”

“I know...”

The immortal pair fell back into silence for a while.

“Why are you so good to me?” She finally asked.

“Mmmm… I am?” He said lightly, “Perhaps it’s because I am an evil, scheming bad person who wants something from you in return.”

She giggled softly, “Of course you are… You have so many disciples to play around with. Are they not enough?”

He leaned down and looked at her tenderly, “My heart is big, there is room for many. But I am not fickle. The ones that find root there will never leave. Not now, not ever.”

“Pshh…” She rolled her eyes at his corny words and squirmed in his arms.

He didn’t let her go and persisted. Her defenses were weak and her heart was open. He pressed forward bravely because he might not get another chance like this ever again.

“I did so much for you. I risked my life more than once during this mission. Any of the seven Spirit Kings could have squashed me like a bug. So… how will you repay me?”

She stuck her tongue out at him, “I have nothing. I can’t repay you with anything so I can only thank you. So… thank you.”

She blushed massively as if saying thanks was so difficult. Still, he wasn’t going to let her go with a simple thanks. He wanted much, much more than that!

“I think you have something I want…”

“What?”

“Look at me.”

Jasmine did so and she stared up at Chen Wentian. Their eyes connected and a mysterious connection sparked to life. Their faces drifted ever closer, as if they were both thinking of the same thing.

He leaned down; his lips slightly open. She was the perfect distance away, the perfect distance for him. She tilted her chin up slightly and her lips mirrored his.

They touched and an inexplicable warmth burst out. It rushed through and took over them. His lips were hot and needy. Hers were soft and welcoming. She melted into him in willing surrender. He held her tighter, unwilling to ever let her go.
