Chapter 122.2 : Duty (Part 2)
"It's all because Master, you're simply too captivating. If you weren't so devastatingly beautiful, how could I repeatedly fail to suppress the desires in my heart?"
"So really, this is all Master's fault. And since that's the case, the responsibility of helping your disciple dispel these distracting thoughts naturally falls to you as well!"
Chu Ge spoke with righteous confidence.
"...Hmph! I'll help you this one last time. After that, no matter what you say, you must leave. Understood?!"
After a brief silence, Luo Huangjun finally compromised.
"Understood, Master. This time, let's try something different."
"What new trick are you trying to pull now?"
"Master, just do as I say. First, you should—"
Su Lingyuan, standing outside the door, no longer dared to look. She felt that if she continued watching, something inside her would truly become strange.
Carefully retreating, she hurried straight back to her own room, threw herself onto the bed, and buried herself there as though too ashamed to face anyone.
The images she had just seen continued to replay in her mind, no matter how hard she tried to shake them off.
...
Time passed.
Click.
Chu Ge gently closed the door to Luo Huangjun's room and walked away in high spirits.
Although he hadn't achieved his ultimate goal today, he had still unlocked quite a few achievements.
Chu Ge was not the sort of person who cared only for his own pleasure.
While unlocking another accomplishment, he had also been quite attentive in serving his Master as a disciple should.
Having tasted this kind of pleasure for the first time, Luo Huangjun was still immersed in a dazed, unfocused state.
At this very moment, she lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her eyes slightly unfocused.
Glancing at the sky outside, Chu Ge realized that although today hadn't stretched from daylight to nightfall like that time on Shuiyue (Water Moon) Peak, it had still consumed two to three hours.
After finding a place to complete his daily check-in, Chu Ge returned to his own room and began cultivating.
...
Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Nothing particularly significant occurred during these days. Luo Huangjun had just stepped into the Ninth Heaven realm and needed time to familiarize herself with the changes brought about by her breakthrough.
As for the others—Su Lingyuan, the Luo sisters, Dantai Jinglian, and the rest—they were either cultivating or occupied with their own affairs.
Over these two weeks, only one person truly suffered: Shui Qianrou.
Having just tasted the sweetness of it all, she naturally craved more. Unfortunately, Chu Ge had been focused entirely on cultivation. Several invitations sent to the Taihuang Hall were all declined.
As a result, Shui Qianrou grew increasingly resentful toward Chu Ge during this period, like a neglected young wife left out in the cold.
This only strengthened her resolve: once she found the next opportunity, she would be sure to reclaim everything she'd been denied during this time—
and squeeze Chu Ge dry, without mercy!
Meanwhile, Chu Ge's cultivation progressed steadily throughout this period.
Opening up the hidden apertures did not delay him much. By now, he had already reached the final stage.
And beyond that, through real-time information sent back by Dantai Lan, as well as intelligence obtained from the system's information panel—
Although Chu Ge rarely stepped outside his door, he had an iron grip on all information related to Su Mo.
