Chapter 236: Something's Off with Shiyu!
============================================================
Li Shiyu first took a sip to test the saltiness, then grabbed Dongfang Jue's ankle and yanked him into the pool!
"Hey! Senior Sister!"
As a sensation like electric sparks crackled through her entire body, General Dongfang never imagined her voice could produce such a sweet, delicate sound~
"Mmm! Hmm~"
"Senior Sister says this is Master's upgraded spiritual elixir. Shiyuo's already used to it. You'll get used to it too, Jue'er."
Dongfang Jue now lay in Li Shiyu's embrace, resting her head on the elder sister's lap as she watched Su Muchan nearby.
Dongfang Jue thought to herself, Isn't Su Muchan a succubus?
You're a succubus—what the hell are you being shy for?
Su Muchan, like Ye Qinghan, possessed legs longer than Su Cheng's life itself. She merely dipped her toes into the pool, and as expected, a delicate voice echoed!
"No way! This water's on me! Didn't you two feel it?"
But Li Shiyao had already transformed into a little troublemaker!
"Really? Shiyuo doesn't feel a thing. Maybe it's just your imagination? Try again?"
Su Muchan looked at Li Shiyao's innocent, dazed little face and felt a bit confused too. Was it really just her imagination?
She stretched out her jade-like leg once more, thinking to herself, Let's try…
If they could do it, surely she could too…
But the instant she extended her foot, Li Shiyu grabbed her ankle!
"Shiyao, hey?"
"Mu Chan, you can't do it like that~"
Li Shiyu was now a late Foundation Establishment terror! Within Lingxian Hall, aside from her Master, Senior Sister, Yulan, and Baitao, she had no equals!
Gripping Su Muchan's ankle, she yanked her straight into the pool!
But this was Su Muchan's first time bathing. In that instant, she nearly wet herself…
Moments later, her eyes unfocused and limbs limp, Su Muchan replaced Dongfang Jue, leaning against Li Shiyao's embrace.
"How is it? Feels nice, doesn't it~"
"Shiyao, you…"
"No need to thank me, Shiyu. Shiyu and little sister Muchan are good friends, after all!"
Su Muchan's heart-shaped tail was now firmly grasped in Li Shiyao's hand—essentially, her fate was being held by the tip of that tail…
But it must be said, this spirit liquid bath truly had an immense effect on her cultivation…
It wasn't exactly an increase, but she could feel herself becoming more solid and stable!
She’d been thoroughly groped from head to toe by Li Shiyu, but Su Muchan no longer cared. At least Li Shiyu hadn’t been searching for anything on her body…
Compared to that certain groove-obsessed Immortal Sovereign, she was far superior!
"Shiyu, I'm so jealous of you~"
"Envy Shiyu?"
"Mhm. Shiyu has a master and senior sister who adore her—isn't that enviable?"
Li Shiyu kept running her fingers back and forth over Su Muchan's little belly~
"When I was little, I also envied other kids who had playmates. That's why I worked hard to make friends and became close with my senior sister."
"How did Shiyu become friends with Ye Qinghan?"
Su Muchan didn't mince words either; she always spoke her mind.
Dongfang Jue nodded too—she was curious about this as well!
It wasn't exactly a secret, and Dongfang Jue already knew most of it anyway!
But hearing Li Shiyu's perspective now still felt a bit jarring.
"Senior Sister said I was dying, but Shiyu said she was perfectly healthy and could bear Master a healthy child!"
"…Then Senior Sister told Shiyu to stay away from her, saying Master was a big villain who often beat Senior Sister!"
"…Then Shiyu went to help Senior Sister kill Master. She almost succeeded!"
"It was only later that Shiyu learned Master was actually incredibly powerful, and Senior Sister truly loved him."
"It seems Shiyu and Senior Sister were friends from the start. Shiyu just walked up and asked Senior Sister if she wanted to be friends."
Dongfang Jue exchanged a glance with Su Muchan. Honestly, they understood it all—this was nothing but persistent pestering!
This guy got sold out by Ye Qinghan, yet he'd still help Ye Qinghan count the money!
"Then how did Shiyao become his disciple?"
Li Shiyu seemed to pause noticeably, her response evading the question.
"Hehe, isn't it almost time for dinner?"
Su Muchan assumed Li Shiyu didn't want to answer and dropped the subject.
The three of them got up, but Li Shiyu told Su Muchan and Dongfang Jue to eat first, saying she still had things to do.
Dongfang Jue sensed something was off, but didn't dwell on it.
Yu Lan had just woken up. After a quick wash, she followed the aroma to the dining table.
Bai Tao also arrived promptly for meals. Usually, she remained invisible, her whereabouts and activities unknown.
As they sat down, Su Cheng also sensed something was off!
Where was her dim-witted second disciple?
"Jue'er, where's Shiyao?"
Dongfang Jue froze for a moment. "Senior Sister said she's just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage and her cultivation isn't stable yet. She told us to come ahead."
【Is this even right?】
【Shiyao didn't even eat breakfast today! The lunch bell should have rung ages ago!】
【What kind of excuse is 'her cultivation is still unstable'? If you said her Dao Heart was unstable, I'd believe it. But unstable cultivation?】
"You two eat first. I'll go check on Shiyu."
Upon reaching the entrance to the Spirit Pool Hall, Su Cheng gently knocked on the door.
"Shiyao? Are you in there?"
"Mm, Master?"
To be honest, Su Cheng was a bit worried!
He knew exactly how formidable Shi Yao was. If something had happened to her, it wouldn't be a minor issue!
If you claimed Shiyu had no appetite, even the village dog would shake its head in disbelief—who would buy that?
"Jue'er mentioned Shiyu encountered difficulties in her cultivation, so I came to inquire."
"Master, please go ahead. Shiyu will be right there!"
Then came the sound of bare feet thudding on the floor inside. Li Shiyu rushed out, hastily pulling a skirt over herself!
She’d used divine magic to dry her wet hair and body. The skirt was her outdoor attire—unlike her usual breezy outfits, this one covered her calves, and the sleeves reached her wrists!
This was perfectly normal attire for most. But on Li Shiyu, it was anything but ordinary!
Watch as Li Shiyao slowly pushed open the door, glancing around left and right. But Su Cheng clearly hadn't gone to eat; he was waiting right there for Li Shiyao!
Su Cheng took one glance!
Damn it!
Who the hell dares to bully my Shiyu!
"Someone bullied Shiyu?"
Honestly, seeing Li Shiyao's tear-stained eyes, Su Cheng felt like he didn't need the system—he was ready to go berserk on his own!
But for now, he put on a gentle expression—though not out of genuine curiosity.
Just as anti-corruption requires evidence, counter-terrorism only needs a list.
Su Cheng wanted to know only one thing: who!
But Li Shiyu just gave a silly chuckle: "Nothing, Master! I just felt my cultivation waver a bit and got a little flustered!"
"Rest assured, Master. I've taken care of it!"
Su Cheng said nothing, merely staring at Li Shiyu. Under his gaze, Li Shiyu felt a chill run down her spine!
"Master, please don't be angry. Shiyu will train harder!"
"Shiyao is lying! Didn't the Sixth Elder say so? Liars' noses grow longer!"
"Shiyao… Shiyao really is fine!"
Truthfully, Li Shiyu had already sensed her master's anger!
Though the master still wore that serene, gentle expression, how could the perceptive Li Shiyu fail to notice?
"Hehe, Shiyu's lunch bell is ringing! Master, what delicious treat do we have today?"
