CHAPTER 226
The Cunning Fox's Stratagem: Acquiring the Uncensored, Full-Color Portrait
============================================================
"Precautions? What precautions?"
"This woman is no ordinary Yulan. We must remain vigilant."
Ye Qinghan, her lovely face set in a meaningful expression, gazed intently at Bai Tao from afar.
Ye Qinghan had too many enemies—she couldn't guard against them all!
She increasingly felt that her Master was the one born with that alluring charm—every woman seemed drawn to her side!
If it were just Yu Lan, that might be understandable—at least she genuinely cared for the master.
But Bai Tao was different. Ye Qinghan could sense this woman's strength surpassed her own—likely at least mid-stage Core Formation!
If she truly harbored any malicious intent, the Master might not be able to handle her!
Su Cheng felt a bit helpless. He didn't want to lose face in front of his disciples, so he decided to let it go for now.
With him around, Bai Tao wouldn't be able to cause trouble anytime soon.
[Fairy Baitao, you'd better behave yourself.]
"Bai Tao will remember."
Bai Tao's lips curved into a faint smile. This was simpler than she'd anticipated.
After speaking, Su Cheng headed off to take a bath. Truth be told, he was already exhausted!
Ye Qinghan caught the scent and quickly tidied up before heading off to enjoy the view~
Li Shiyao, seeing her senior sister’s movements, hurriedly followed right behind!
Dongfang Jue sighed helplessly. With both senior sisters gone, it was clearly a group activity now~
"Shiyao, stop crowding me!"
"Senior Sister, let Shiyu see too!"
"Jue'er wants to see too!"
Bai Tao also grew curious. What was going on with these three disciples?
She joined them, though she didn't need to jostle for position. With a slight display of her divine powers, she could see right through the wooden door before them.
But this time, Ye Qinghan and the others were in for a surprise!
Yu Lan was inside too!
"Chengcheng, you must be exhausted~"
"Not too bad. Compared to back then, life's pretty leisurely now."
A pair of small hands rested on Su Cheng's shoulders, massaging him with a technique passed down through generations. Su Cheng enjoyed it immensely, and Yu Lan didn't mind, treating it as a reward for the sect leader.
"Are you really going to keep that White Peach in Lingxian Hall?"
"That girl has ambitions as high as the sky. She won't compete with you for attention."
Su Cheng rolled his eyes helplessly, sensing Yulan was starting to show possessive tendencies.
"That's not what I meant. I'm saying, when will Sect Leader Su ever show some mercy to himself?"
"I'd rather have Elder Yulan take pity on me."
"Hmph! Wishful thinking!" Yu Lan lifted her tiny foot and kicked Su Cheng straight into the Spirit Pool!
Truth be told, this scene left the three disciples utterly dumbfounded!
But judging by their master's expression, she didn't seem angry at all!
But Ye Qinghan was getting a little upset!
She wanted to jump in right now and drown Yu Lan in the Spirit Pool!
She now regretted not sending out more messages earlier!
But Yu Lan soon spotted the disciples peering through the door cracks, denying them any opportunity to learn!
Instead, he chose a more conservative approach—one she excelled at!
【Dragon King's Alternate Dimension】
"Senior Sister, where did Elder Yu Lan go?"
"She's in the Spirit Pool…"
"In the Spirit Pool?" Li Shiyao examined the scene with equal curiosity, though she couldn't make head nor tail of it…
Ye Qinghan decided to just open the door herself. She didn't want to watch anymore!
She tugged Dongfang Jue and Li Shiyu back with her.
Still, today's scene had sparked quite a bit of inspiration in Ye Qinghan!
What if she replaced Yulan with Qinghan…
Ye Qinghan seized the moment while her memories were still vivid, rushing to put pen to paper!
Back in her room, she immediately picked up her brush and began sketching!
"Senior Sister, wow! You're so talented!" Li Shiyao clapped her hands in admiration.
Dongfang Jue couldn't help but be stunned. What Ye Qinghan drew was truly…
Truly exquisite!
But then Li Shiyao remembered!
She still had the 6K Blu-ray the Flower-Seeking Immortal had gifted her! Ultra HD uncensored! Full color! The collector's edition portrait of her master!
She couldn't help but show off in front of the senior sister!
"Senior Sister, Shiyu has a portrait too!"
She gently flicked her jade pendant, extracting the portrait from within!
Such a divine artifact—Li Shiyao dared not keep it tucked away in her bosom, for fear of creasing it!
The moment it appeared, Ye Qinghan and Dongfang Jue couldn't help but marvel at it!
The portrait of their master was lifelike and incredibly clear!
"Shiyao, where did you get this?"
Ye Qinghan held the portrait, examining it closely. Truly marvelous~
She couldn't imagine what kind of hand could paint such a vibrant, lifelike work of art.
"It was given to Shiyu by Sister Liu. She has many more, but Shiyu only asked for this one."
Ye Qinghan furrowed her brow in thought. Sister Liu… that must be the Flower-Seeking Immortal…
Truly worthy of being the Master's wife~
"Shiyao, how has your senior sister treated you?"
Ye Qinghan pulled Li Shiyu close, wrapping her arms around the girl~
Li Shiyu was overwhelmed by the sudden affection, but with an opportunity like this, she couldn't afford to overthink it—she simply savored the moment!
"Senior Sister has been so kind to me. I adore her!"
"Well, would Shiyu be willing to share this portrait with her senior sister?"
"I'm happy to!"
"I knew Shiyu was the best! Since Shiyu gave her senior sister such a precious gift, her senior sister has decided to give Shiyu an extra twenty taels of pocket money this month!"
Li Shiyu might be slow to react, but she wasn't actually stupid!
She pondered this…
Is this right?
Didn't I say it was for Senior Sister?
That can't be right!
Senior Sister was trying to snatch her master's bath scene painting!
"Wait a minute? Why does Shiyu feel something's off? I never gave it to Senior Sister!"
Li Shiyu suddenly snapped out of it!
She liked that bath scene of the master too!
But Ye Qinghan remained completely unfazed. She was the eldest senior sister!
Could she not handle a mere second junior sister?
"Shiyao, Senior Sister is doing this for your own good. Think about it—what would Master think if she discovered this portrait?"
Li Shiyu took the bait, following Ye Qinghan's lead as her imagination began to run wild…
"Master would think Shiyu was spying on her bathing, that Shiyu was a naughty child…"
"What if Shiyu became a bad child?"
"Would… would Master… abandon Shiyu?"
"Very likely!"
Li Shiyu was nearly scared out of her wits!
The thought that her Master might abandon her made her heart ache!
"Hehe, don't worry—we've got Senior Sister here, right?"
Li Shiyu was on the verge of tears, but Ye Qinghan was only trying to scare her a little—she knew exactly how far to go!
"Senior Sister, please help Shiyu! Explain to Master that Shiyu isn't a bad kid!"
Ye Qinghan smiled, ruffled Shiyu's hair, and gave her a gentle look~
"Isn't this exactly what I'm doing?"
"Master wouldn't come to your room without reason. Shiyuo, just leave the portrait in my room for now. I'll keep it on the table. Whenever you want to see it, you can come anytime. Isn't that fine?"
Li Shiyu instantly relaxed. Senior Sister truly was the best!
But then she thought, Wait, something's not right!
"Wait, Senior Sister, that's not right!"
Ye Qinghan froze in surprise…
Dongfang Jue had initially thought Li Shiyu had been tricked by that sly fox again, but now he felt a surge of anticipation!
Could it be… she finally caught on?
She grabbed Ye Qinghan's hand, her face etched with an indescribable mix of emotions!
"If that's the case, if Master discovers this, won't Senior Sister have to take the blame for Shiyu?"
"Shiyao doesn't want that. Shiyao would rather take the punishment herself!"
Dongfang Jue was utterly speechless. As expected, this whole "getting smarter" nonsense was complete bullshit!
