The Daily Task of Preventing My Disciple from Turning to the Dark Side

Chapter 14: What Did You Do Last Night?

On Mu Chen's chest, there was a black lotus with nine petals. It looked like a tattoo that was etched onto Mu Chen's fair skin. Gu Yunjue immediately recognized the symbol. There were nine stages in the Spirit Devil Cultivation. One lotus petal was formed for each of the nine stages once they were completed.

Gu Yunjue placed his hand over the lotus flower on Mu Chen's chest. He sensed the devil qi surging from within. A gratified smile made its way onto Gu Yunjue's face. Gu Yunjue thought that he had failed. He thought that even if he had passed his skill onto Mu Chen's body, his Master's spirit soul would still eventually disappear. He did not expect that his skill would protect his Master's spirit soul and bring Mu Chen along with him a hundred years into the past.

When the devil qi sensed the approach of Gu Yunjue, its silky strands began to flow out. Gu Yunjue's eyes darkened as he absorbed all of the leaking devil qi. He had the leaking devil qi meld into his body and cycle through the meridians of his body. The devil qi that came from within Mu Chen's body acted as if it had just returned home and it all started to surge into Gu Yunjue's body.

Gu Yunjue went into meditation and started to absorb and refine the devil qi. It was originally his devil qi in the first place so the process was very smooth and there was no obstruction of any kind. Gu Yunjue was able to refine the devil cultivation to the ninth layer of the Qi Condensation Stage in less than a full nighttime. He was already on the verge of Foundation Establishment.

Gu Yunjue was unsure if the cause was that it was affected by the pure immortal qi from Mu Chen's body but the devil qi seemed to bring some kind of fire spiritual power along with it when it flowed into his body. His fire spirit root also obtained some refinement, thus helping him cultivate to the second stage of Qi Condensation. The speed of this process shocked Gu Yunjue.

Gu Yunjue lowered his head to look at Mu Chen sleeping next to him. The expression in Gu Yunjue's eyes turned gentle and he softly tidied up Mu Chen's clothes before he smoothed out Mu Chen's hair. He then held onto Mu Chen's hand as he watched Mu Chen sleep in fascination. The sleeping Mu Chen no longer looked like his usual cold self. Instead, his delicate features were brought out more. Gu Yunjue stayed by his side and looked at the curtains that were made of cotton until the sky started to brighten. Even then, Gu Yunjue still did not want to let go of the warmth that was in his hand.

Mu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the curtain in shock. What happened yesterday? He fell asleep? He actually fell asleep? Mu Chen felt something warm cuddling next to him. Mu Chen, who had been single for a long time, raised his leg and kicked without any hesitation. With a bang, Gu Yunjue, who was still sleeping, was kicked towards the door. His forehead slammed into the door. Gu Yunjue was awake in that instant.

Mu Chen was suddenly awake....

Mu Chen didn't have the time to feel guilty when he immediately appeared by Gu Yunjue's side. He picked up his thin and weak disciple and looked at his disciple's forehead. There was already a large purple bump forming.

Mu Chen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He had some lingering fears within him. It was fortunate that he did not use any spiritual power. Otherwise, how could his disciple still be alive?

Jing Ting and Jing Ming both rushed in when they heard the sound. They were followed by eight maids and eight dao children. They all stared in shock at the crouching Master and Disciple. They did not understand what had happened.

"Master, you...." Gu Yunjue held onto his head, not knowing what to say. If it weren't for the fact that his devil cultivation was protecting his body, then one kick from Mu Chen would have made him vomit blood.
