The flying ship swept past.

"Master, there seems to be a city ahead. Why not take a rest for a day?"

Qin Yu withdrew her gaze from the distance and turned to look at Liu Zixiao, whose complexion was still a bit pale.

The flying ship was actually quite comfortable, but her condition was different now.

Liu Zixiao hesitated for a moment, calculating the schedule, and decided that resting for a day wouldn’t hurt, so she agreed.

This was a city similar to Lin Xian City.

They landed far outside the city without alerting anyone and found an inn to stay in the city.

Qin Yu waved her hand grandly and booked all the rooms directly.

The reason for doing so...

Naturally, there was a reason for it.

"Master, the rooms are prepared, let’s go."

Qin Yu led Liu Zixiao upstairs.

Liu Zixiao wasn’t particular about the accommodations, but upon entering, she found that Qin Yu also followed her in.

"Why are you coming in?"

Liu Zixiao’s eyebrows furrowed, looking at Qin Yu with caution.

"Master, there was only this one guest room left."

Qin Yu smiled sheepishly and hurriedly explained.

"Huh."

Liu Zixiao let out a light chuckle, looking at Qin Yu as if saying, "Do you really think I’d believe your nonsense?"

"Master, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the shopkeeper."

Qin Yu immediately guaranteed with utmost sincerity.

However, Liu Zixiao was no little girl. After glaring at Qin Yu, she actually went downstairs to ask.

But soon, she came back up with a cold expression.

There really was only this one left!

"Master, I wasn’t lying to you, was I?"

Seeing Liu Zixiao’s clear reluctance, Qin Yu laughed inwardly but maintained a façade of helplessness.

The meaning of booking all the rooms, wasn’t it just revealed?!

For him now, several lower-grade Spirit Stones were of no consequence.

"Moreover, you’re still injured. It’s good for me to stay in the room to take care of you, unless... you don’t trust me?"

He spoke with a serious face, full of conviction.

It was precisely these words that made Liu Zixiao, who originally planned to find another place, decide to stop the fuss!

After all, it was just a day’s rest.

If Qin Yu really intended to do something to her, the flying ship wasn’t as spacious as this room.

"Hmph!"

Liu Zixiao glared at Qin Yu and coldly said, "You sleep on the floor!" while he was delighted.

"..."

Isn’t that too cruel?!

I just wanted to repay my master’s kindness, I had no ill intentions.

"Master..."

"One more word and you’ll sleep outside."

Well, all my efforts were in vain.

Qin Yu looked helpless. Indeed, Liu Zixiao, as an elder, wasn’t so easily fooled like a little girl.

However, it also proved Liu Zixiao’s unique charm.

Afterwards, Qin Yu diligently went to boil hot water, as such small tasks should naturally be performed by the disciple.

"Master, the water is ready. Please bathe first."

From the bathhouse came Qin Yu’s voice, but Liu Zixiao didn’t respond.

"Master?"

Qin Yu peeked out, only to find Liu Zixiao had fallen into a deep sleep.

She was lying on the edge of the bed, her body slightly curled within the bedding, showing only a serene face and a pair of jade feet still shod in embroidered shoes, nothing else was visible.

"Already grown ups, yet forgetting to remove the shoes before sleeping."

Whether he truly wanted to help Liu Zixiao or was just finding an excuse, Qin Yu gently lifted one of her feet, preparing to remove the embroidered shoes for her.

Qin Yu really had no ulterior motives; he merely wanted to take off his master’s shoes, which would be beneficial for blood circulation during sleep.

However, as the embroidered shoes came off, looking at those jade feet, Qin Yu couldn’t resist but to... lightly stroke them.

"Mmm..."

Seemingly sensing something, Liu Zixiao inadvertently let out a soft moan in her deep sleep.

The tempting, porcelain-like jade foot instantly retracted into the bedding, leaving Qin Yu no time to react.

Glancing up, he found Liu Zixiao hadn’t woken up, so his audacious eyes settled on the other foot.

This time, he firmly grasped the petite, exquisite ankle in his palm, preventing it from slipping away again.

It’s hard to imagine that this usually stern, poised master had such tender feet, like the most exquisite handiwork of nature, embodying another kind of allure in that limited space.

Even though Qin Yu had no particular kink, he couldn’t help but want to gently...

Care for them.

The sensation was extremely gentle, like the finest morning mist of spring, seemingly disappearing upon touching, as tender as a kitten’s little paws.

"Beautiful!"

Qin Yu couldn’t help but marvel; such an extraordinarily beautiful thing seemed almost divine, unmatched in the world, truly awe-inspiring.

Every toe, like a tender green shoot, curled naturally at the slightest touch, making Qin Yu momentarily reluctant to let go.

But just as he was immersed, his hand suddenly slipped, and the formerly cute jade foot loomed increasingly large before him.

Bang!

"Does it look good?!"

Liu Zixiao, unknown when she awoke, her cheeks flushed with shame, pressed a foot against Qin Yu’s side, gritting her teeth questioning him.

This unruly disciple actually took advantage of her slumber to...

Harboring improper thoughts.

So hateful and infuriating.

"("▔□▔)"

"Master, please don’t blame me. I only wanted to help you remove your shoes..."

Caught red-handed, Qin Yu still maintained his composure, spinning his tale earnestly.

His original intention was indeed innocent.

"Taking shoes off is one thing, why keep holding them?"

Liu Zixiao gently retracted her long legs, feeling a peculiar vibe from her disciple’s expression.

Almost as if he wanted to devour someone.

Thankfully, she woke up in time; who knows what this unruly disciple might’ve done if she hadn’t?

It’s just you can’t trust him too much.

"Master, you’re not aware, but massaging feet before bed offers immense benefits..."

Qin Yu began another lengthy explanation.

He spoke with clarity and reason, and to prove his point, he even intended to slide his hand under the covers to conduct a test.

"Stop!"

Liu Zixiao sternly halted him.

Though she allowed Qin Yu to massage her shoulders and back on the flying ship, her feet were off-limits.

However, Qin Yu was determined to repay his master’s kindness; such a minor setback wouldn’t deter him.

"Master, let’s bathe before sleeping."

Before Liu Zixiao could agree, this audacious disciple had already hoisted her up horizontally and headed towards the bathhouse.

"Put me down!"

"Don’t!"

"I... I can manage on my own!"

In the bathhouse, Liu Zixiao’s voice carried a mix of anxiety and embarrassment.

"Master, I merely wish to heal you."

"Not needed!"
