"All causes and effects, I bear on my shoulders."

    Listening to the only disciple's loud voice, Fei Wanhu is filled with satisfaction in her heart. She knows he's not just saying empty words.

    Lu Jin'an, who was taken back as a disciple at the age of ten, although gifted, did not possess any special physical traits. However, he was not only self-disciplined but also hardworking.

    Just the constant daily morning practice of rigorous training in the face of wind and rain, without any pause, is something that far surpasses the abilities of countless cultivators.

    Especially since he is not only the senior disciple of Taichu Peak, but also the senior disciple of all direct and inner-door disciples as well as outer-door disciples of Wandao Sect.

    That really does boost my own reputation~

    Fei Wanhu placed her right hand on the plump thigh and with her index finger covered in red nail polish, she rubbed back and forth: "Caused by oneself, caused by oneself, caused by oneself...Reincarnation."

    "If all cause and effect are based on your actions and decisions, then you will bear the risk of death and extinction after failure."

    "I have reasons for not wanting to lose," Lu Jin'an said as he took the wine jar from Dong Han and walked over to Fei Wanhu, filling her cup. With a smile, he continued, "One of them is that I don't want you, my teacher, to always stand behind me, providing the backing that no one dares to provoke me easily..."

    "I also want to stand behind the teacher."

    "Aren't you playing around with your master?" Fei Wanhu slightly turned her side, lifting the cuff of her glossy jade arm and extending her finger to tap him on the forehead: "Being away for so long and having tasted the taste of more than half a year's worth of women has made you so bold?"

    "I just like the teacher as such a woman with charm still intact." Lu Jin'an glanced again at the previous times that his chest, which had once made him short of breath, exuded a fragrant allure. "The truth."

    "Hehe, flattering the teacher in front of the teacher, and flattering her in front of that girl named Zhu..." Fei Wanhu pointed at him with her slender fingers and traced along his nose, before finally holding his chin and gently waving it a few times, making fun of him: "Isn't that right?"

    The red kumdan on her nails reflects a captivating luster, and the touch of her soft fingertips creates ripples in the heart, but Lu Jin'an only looks at Fei Wanhu's collar.

    Her mere slight flick of the finger can evoke gentle waves like a shallow snowcap.

    "I am honest." Lu Jin'an smiled and said.

    "Only the words 'stand behind my teacher' make me happy." Fei Wanhu suddenly tightened her grip on his chin with her fingers, and her tone suddenly became sharp: "So since you want to stand behind my teacher, how come you are still in the late stage of Tongsheng realm?"

    "One and a half years ago, you were already in the late stage of Tongsheng realm. At your rate of breaking through, you should be in the middle stage of Hedao realm by now," Fei Wanhu lifted her chin slightly, her tone becoming even more serious: "Have you been wasting this year and a half in Zhu Nanzhi's belly?"

    "Teacher, you misunderstand me." Lu Jin'an quickly spoke up: "I just wanted to perfect my cultivation a bit more. If I were to reach the middle stage of Hedao realm now, I wouldn't be able to perfect it further."

    "Is that so?" Fei Wanhu looked him up and down a few times: "Then let the teacher test how much you've progressed in the past year and a half."

    Lu Jin'an spoke with calm confidence: "Unbeatable in the Tongsheng realm."

    "How many could be replaced with ten people at the middle stage of Hedao realm?" Fei Wanhu placed her right leg on her left leg again, holding the wine cup and sipping it, and said with a smile, "Can't replace even ten, my teacher will have to think about how to punish you."

    Laughing without a word, Lu Jin'an watched as his teacher put down the wine cup and intended to get up to test his strength. He spoke up quickly: "Teacher, if you're going to test the strength of your disciple, you need to restrain your cultivation. If you restrain your cultivation...

    "Are you certain you want to fight with me in this yuyao?"

    Fei Wanhu stood up at her own pace, her tall and sensual figure barely taller than Lu Jin'an by just one forehead's length. She gently pinched his chin, making him look down, and her red lips, moistened by the wine, exhaled like orchids: "Dare you tear your teacher's clothes?"

    Lu Jin'an stared at Fei Wanhu's enchanting, watery eyes and said leisurely, "Swords and blades have no eyes; the same principle applies to hands."

    Dong Han stared in disbelief at the scene in front of him, as if it was a flirting act. He felt like the senior disciple Lu Jin'an had returned after a long time and became more daring all of a sudden.

    "Oh?" Fei Wanhu took a small step forward, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly drew back and retreated a little due to some unknown force. Her face, which is as beautiful as no other woman's, seemed to also be covered in a faint blush.

    Her gaze slightly dropped, and her fingers, which were holding Lu Jin'an's chin, involuntarily tightened a bit.

    Breathing in the slightly more intense mature fragrance coming from the teacher, Lu Jin'an suppressed the inner agitation and calmly retreated a step backwards, initiating a new topic: "By the way, I brought a gift for the teacher when I came back."

    "What gift?"

    Fei Wanhu also sat back on the stone bench, smiling warmly at Lu Jin'an. This disciple she had taken on was truly outstanding in every aspect.

    Talented, clear-headed, modest and knowing when to retreat...

    "This is it." Lu Jin'an took out a pair of thin black stockings as thin as cicadas' wings: "Your teacher should not have seen it."

    As he spoke, he also cast a glance at Dong Han, and seeing that she was looking over with curiosity as well, he knew that she hadn't been to Jing'an City recently, or if she had, it was likely not to the area around Yuejun Clothing Shop.

    "Hmm?" Fei Wanhu reached out to take the black silk that Lu Jin'an was holding in his hand: "This looks like...a slipper?"

    "A new style, teacher, would you like to try it on?"

    "Is it worn the same way as a slipper?"

    "Almost, or let the disciple demonstrate for you?" Lu Jin'an asked in a serious tone.

    "If you have this filial piety, the teacher will not refuse." Fei Wanhu said, pretending to be calm and composed. She put her right leg over her left leg again and stretched out her slender and tight calves, as well as her sexy jade feet dyed with red kumdan.

    Lu Jin'an laughed as he crouched down, saying that he had touched the teacher's legs before, but this was the first time for her feet.

    The teacher's jade feet are undoubtedly tempting. The curve of the instep and the arch is elegant and natural, and the slender and small jade toes, highlighted by the bright red kumdan, show a certain allure that Zhu Nanzhi's jade feet do not possess.

    Lu Jin'an spread out the sock opening and slipped it onto the teacher's jade foot, his fingertips inevitably touching her foot, and clearly seeing her toes curling slightly, the allure mixed with coyness is even more captivating.

    Fei Wanhu tightened her lips, and the itchy feeling that accompanied the slight shyness of being touched by an opposite sex for the first time on her jade foot had a urge to withdraw her foot.

    But seeing the obedient disciple who was diligently putting on this kind of slipper, she thought that a little kid was not shy, so what was she shy about?

    So she watched as the black silk slipper enveloped her jade foot and extended towards her calf.

    Under the thin black silk that was as thin as cicadas' wings, the red kumdan-dyed jade toes were barely visible, adding a sense of mystery to the allure.

    Lu Jin'an could feel the teacher's nervousness because through the thin silk stocking, he could clearly see her calf and instep tensed, and even her slender and sensual toes curled into a larger arc.

    Moreover, the teacher's breathing was a little rapid.

    Lu Jin'an couldn't help but laugh: "This slipper is indeed even more erotic and attractive than a slipper, isn't it, teacher?"

    Fei Wanhu, of course, realized that this slipper not only makes the leg shape more sexy and tight, much more attractive than the loose slipper, but also the material is silky and feels very comfortable to wear.

    Just that... these silk stockings are too tempting.

    Although his obedient disciple can still make an evaluation, the teacher's eyes are clearly fiery and boiling, and she can't stop staring at her black silk legs.

    Especially with his breathing becoming more urgent and blowing on her toes, she felt even more hot and her cheeks flushed.

    As Lu Jin'an's hands, which were holding the sock opening, moved up over her knee and were about to touch her thigh, Fei Wanhu quickly said, "The teacher knows how to put it on; there's no need for a demonstration."

    Lu Jin'an sensibly loosened the sock opening and stood up, as the temptation for himself was also great.

    Glancing at the teacher with eyes as clear as water, Lu Jin'an felt that if he didn't leave soon, he would be unable to contain himself all night. "The gift has been given to you," he said, "Disciple will retire now."

    Fei Wanhu lightly nodded: "Rest early."

    "Yes, sir." Lu Jin'an placed the other stocking on his teacher's lap, bowed, and quickly left the cool pavilion that made him feel hot.

    After Lu Jin'an left, Fei Wanhu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, extended her hands to gently pull the black silk stocking up her thigh, then straightened her right leg, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes: "These stockings... they're too improper."

    Dong Han whispered, "I think the vice-patroness is even more alluring."

    "This type of slipper is best not worn outside." Fei Wanhu shook her head.

    "Then only when Master Jin'an is here?" Dong Han playfully teased.

    Fei Wanhu's eyes flashed a different color, and she whispered, "Jin'an is quite good, isn't he?"

    "Master Jin'an is very powerful," Dong Han nodded: "He is not only self-disciplined, but also so strong that he surpasses his peers, and he is respected by everyone, and he has a dignified appearance..."

    Hearing Dong Han's praise, Fei Wanhu bit her lower lip lightly and placed her right hand on her abdomen, not knowing if it was because of the recent contact. Her gaze took on a hint of softness: "I knew from the beginning that one day he would become great..."

    "Hmm hmm!" Dong Han nodded in agreement, then heard the vice-patroness say something that shouldn't be said.

    Fei Wanhu gently caressed the faint red mark left by the black silk stocking on her right thigh with her index finger. After glancing to the west, she whispered ominously, "Qingyue, Qingyue, if you continue to be absorbed in your cultivation, your mother won't be polite anymore..."

    Under the moonlight, Fei Wanhu licked her lips, her expression seductive.

    Dong Han widened her eyes, Vice-Patroness, are you still carrying such intentions?

    You were previously busy matching Master Jin'an and Master Jue with each other.

    Although you sometimes tease Master Jin'an, wasn't that supposed to be a way to stir up your daughter?

    But how did you change your mind now? Or did you never change your mind in the first place?

    As if she also realized she said something she shouldn't have, Fei Wanhu tilted her head and looked at Dong Han: "Did I say anything?"

    Dong Han replied cleverly, "You still want to have a couple of drinks."

    "Very obedient~"
