Chapter 661: Tea

...

"Qingran, I was wrong, please listen to your master's explanation..."

There was no response from inside the room.

After a while, the little disciple's resentful voice finally came from within.

"How could Master ever be wrong? It's actually your disciple who's being unreasonable and making a fuss~ Since Master doesn't want to see me, then I won't stay here bothering your eyes~"

Hearing these words, Chen Huaian broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"I had urgent matters to deal with before. The first thing I did when I returned was Heaven's Calculation, and right after finishing the calculation, I immediately went back to handle affairs. I didn't intentionally avoid coming to see you."

Behind the door.

Hearing her master's explanation, the anger she originally felt in her heart completely vanished, replaced instead by concern for her master.

Whatever could make her master so frantic that he didn't even have time to catch his breath?

Something truly urgent must have happened over at Earth Star, right?

Has Master been getting proper rest these past few days?

Since Master came to find her in Cangyun Realm immediately after handling matters, he must still be exhausted, right?

Was she being too unreasonable by throwing this tantrum?

Li Qingran twisted the corner of her clothes, feeling more and more embarrassed the more she thought about it.

Outside, Chen Huaian was still pondering how to coax Li Qingran.

With a creak, the door opened.

The little disciple stood gracefully by the door wearing only her sleeping robe. When she saw him, the corners of her eyes reddened, and she stumbled into his embrace, hugging him tightly.

"Master, your disciple missed you."

Chen Huaian froze for a moment, instinctively embracing Li Qingran.

This... this was all it took to coax her?

Wasn't this a bit too simple?

But having her pacified should be a good thing regardless.

He patted Li Qingran's head and said with a smile, "I missed you too. The first thing I did when I returned was come find you."

Originally, he had returned to cultivate and engage in dual cultivation with Li Qingran.

After all, the mission required him to dual cultivate with Li Qingran ten times to obtain the Demon Nurturing Gourd.

But now he felt that being too goal-oriented was somewhat unfair to Li Qingran. It would be better to let things happen naturally - dual cultivation would occur when the time was right. Ṙ𝘈ℕоᛒÈȿ

No need to deliberately aim for a specific number of times.

If they met more frequently, could the number possibly be low?

While thinking this, he was pulled into the room by Li Qingran.

Once inside, Li Qingran pressed him down onto the bedside, then busied herself like a little bee - sometimes arranging tea sets, sometimes boiling water - apparently preparing tea.

Li Qingran probably didn't often do these things, as her movements showed clear awkwardness.

Chen Huaian watched silently.

For him, wasn't his little disciple's clumsy demeanor itself a delightful sight?

After a short while.

A steaming cup of tea emitting a peculiar fragrance of vegetation was carefully placed before Chen Huaian.

"Master, please have some tea." Li Qingran sat opposite Chen Huaian, propping her chin with both hands, her large sparkling eyes gazing at him with both anticipation and a barely noticeable nervousness. "Quick, try it and see if it tastes good?"

Chen Huaian happened to be thirsty. He picked up the teacup, instinctively blew on it, and took a small sip.

The tea tasted slightly bitter at first, then sweet after swallowing, carrying a unique smooth warmth as it slid down his throat. A comforting warmth instantly spread through him, even making his spirit feel slightly refreshed.

"Mmm, not bad, very fragrant, and comfortable to drink." He nodded in praise, then asked curiously, "What kind of tea is this? The flavor is quite special, your master has never tasted it before."

He rarely drank tea normally.

For him, any tea was novel.

He said this mainly to be supportive and make his little disciple happy.

But then Li Qingran's cheeks flushed bright red.

Her eyes wandered aimlessly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, and her voice became as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "It's... it's a recipe given to me by Senior Dan Yun... she said... she said it uses several spiritual herbs that can... can warm and nourish qi and blood, strengthen foundation and cultivate vitality... um, and it can also... also..."

"Also what?" Chen Huaian asked curiously.

Li Qingran glanced at Chen Huaian.

The final two words seemed squeezed out from between her teeth.

"Boost virility."

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Chen Huaian nearly choked on his tea.

After a fit of coughing, he looked at his little disciple who was so embarrassed she seemed ready to crawl under the table, momentarily at a loss for words.

Boost virility?

What the...

What kind of nonsense has Dan Yun been teaching Qingran!

The originally elegant tea-tasting atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

Li Qingran kept her flushed face lowered even further, wishing there were a crack in the ground to hide in.

Chen Huaian, after finishing his coughing, held the teacup.

He didn't know whether to drink or not drink, his expression utterly comical.

If he didn't drink, he'd be disrespecting his little disciple's efforts.

If he drank... it would seem like he really needed that virility boost.

The two of them sat in silent awkwardness, with an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere, quietly finishing the tea in their respective cups.

Putting down the teacup.

Chen Huaian felt that warm current seemed even stronger now.

Making him feel somewhat restless.

The delicate fragrance lingering around his nose made him unconsciously lift his eyes to look across.

Li Qingran still sat obediently, but her clear eyes were fixed unblinkingly on him, her gentle gaze holding pools of autumn water that seemed ready to completely immerse him.

Those eyes were filled with undisguised affection, attachment, and a trace of... desire?

Her cheeks maintained their lingering blush, like the tips of ripe peaches, appearing especially charming under the candlelight.

Chen Huaian sensed something was off.

"Disciple, does this tea only have the effect of boosting virility?"

Li Qingran, supporting her burning cheeks, shook her head and said succinctly.

"It can also enhance arousal."

Chen Huaian: "..."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

But Li Qingran's gaze remained fixed on him.

Chen Huaian began to feel restless under his little disciple's stare. That gaze felt almost tangible, burning his face until it grew warm too. He cleared his throat, attempting to break the thick silence: "Ahem... Qingran, you..."

Before he could finish.

Li Qingran's long eyelashes fluttered, and she suddenly said: "Master, I... I thought of a method... one that can help us both, both improve our cultivation..."

Her voice trembled slightly.

Whether from embarrassment or because the words themselves felt scorching to speak was unclear.

This topic seemed to echo in his ears.

For Chen Huaian, it felt like it had only happened a few hours ago.

What had his response been then?

Taking his little disciple out for training together.

In the current atmosphere.

Even an idiot would know what method Li Qingran was referring to.

Starting from when Li Qingran brought out that "virility-boosting tea."

To her current gaze, he had already vaguely guessed.

But true hunters often appear in the guise of prey. So he pretended not to know and asked curiously: "Oh? What method? Tell me about it."

Li Qingran didn't explain what method.

Instead, she suddenly stood up, walked around the small table, and sat in Chen Huaian's lap.

Chen Huaian's body stiffened abruptly.

The girl's warm, soft, and fragrant body pressed against him with astonishing heat.

The thin clothing barely blocked the incredible sensation.

Chen Huaian's hands began to have a mind of their own, precisely supporting her slender willow-like waist.

Li Qingran naturally wrapped her arms around Chen Huaian's neck.

She lifted her flushed little face, her damp eyes gazing over: "Master, you're bad! Pretending not to know, forcing your disciple to say it herself, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!"

After gazing softly at Chen Huaian for a long moment.

She twisted her burning body slightly and said in a coquettish tone with a nasal voice: "It's... it's dual cultivation, of course..."
