Hearing this, Nie Qing's expression finally softened considerably. She shot Ye Shu a glare, thinking to herself, "With your attitude, you're just teasing me, you cunning man. I almost couldn't resist chopping off your dog's head with a sword."

At this moment, Ye Shu quickly added, "But you need to give me some psychological preparation. How about we discuss this again in a few days?"

Hearing this, Nie Qing frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "Why so hesitant? Can't you just agree like a man? Even I, your senior sister, am being so proactive!"

"You're breaking my heart, yet it's not like you're really interested in a romantic relationship. I don't understand what you're hesitating about."

She gave Ye Shu an annoyed look.

In other words, you're making me suffer, tormenting my heart, and yet you're still hesitating?

It wasn't that Ye Shu was unwilling; he had other plans: "I have some things to take care of these next few days. Let's talk about it in a few days."

He thought to himself that in two days, he would be going to the Lantern Festival with his master, Luo Jiu Yan, and didn't have time to deal with this.

Nie Qing took a deep breath, her chest heaving dramatically, her two soft peaks impressively prominent. She nodded: "Fine, I'll hold on for these few days. But if my inner demons act up badly, it'll be on you!"

Ye Shu gave a bitter smile.

What inner demons acting up? Clearly, you're just in heat, no need to be so euphemistic.

Suddenly, he remembered something important: "Senior sister, do you know what our master likes?"

"What our master likes?"

Nie Qing repeated, her gaze suspiciously scanning Ye Shu: "Why are you asking this? What are you plotting!"

Ye Shu was startled by her tone, wondering if she had discovered his secret dealings with their master.

Impossible, if she had found out, she wouldn't have said such things.

Ye Shu could only bravely say: "Haven't I made some mistakes recently? I want to buy something to please our master, so she won't hold it against me."

Upon hearing this.

"Oh~ I knew it!"

Nie Qing wore an expression of having known all along, smiling: "No wonder our master favors you so much. Even I would like a disciple like you, with ulterior motives."

At this point, she grew angrier, seemingly thinking about the succession of the Demon Prince position, no wonder it fell into his hands.

It's too heartbreaking!

Ye Shu then asked again: "Senior sister, could you tell me what she likes?"

Nie Qing inexplicably got angry: "Our master likes killing people, just stick out your neck and let her chop away!"

Ye Shu shivered at these words, quickly shaking his head: "Senior sister, stop joking. I'm serious, don't forget, I still have something on you."

"Humph!"

At this, Nie Qing's face turned red, she gritted her teeth and said: "What I said is true! I don't know what else our master likes, but she loves killing, the more the merrier!"

"Bring her a few dozen righteous people, let her chop off their heads one by one, she'll definitely be happy!"

Ye Shu: "..."

He didn't know how to refute this.

He never expected that Nie Qing, who had been with Luo Jiu Yan for so long, didn't even know her specific preferences.

Is she truly heartless?

Ye Shu shook his head, definitely not!

It's just that these people don't know Luo Jiu Yan's true side.

And he was fortunate enough to have access to this side of her.

He must seize this opportunity!

As Ye Shu was deep in thought, he noticed that Nie Qing had walked to the door and was standing there, looking at him.

As if she had something final to say.

"Senior sister, do you have anything else to say?" Ye Shu inquired.

Nie Qing pursed her lips, at this moment she had a different demeanor, like a tender maiden.

After a mental struggle, she finally spoke: "I forgot to say, the man in my dreams has always been you!!"

"Ah?" Ye Shu looked up in shock.

He was utterly astonished.

The man in her dreams is me? So her inner demon is me! The man she wants to push down is me! The object of her... is also me!

He thought accepting Nie Qing's confession was just a reluctant choice, but after hearing this, Ye Shu realized that she had been fixated on him all along!

Senior sister, she really wants to...

"Senior sister, explain yourself clearly!" Ye Shu wanted to chase after her for a clear answer.

"After the Lantern Festival, I'll explain everything clearly!"

Unexpectedly, Nie Qing dropped this line and decisively flew away, her figure wobbling in the air, indicating her heart was also in turmoil.

Leaving Ye Shu alone, sweating profusely.

"Goodness! Senior sister, have you truly fallen for me, even dreaming about me?"

"Damn! You wouldn't agree to my confession before, now you're playing this game, such a hypocritical woman!"

Ye Shu muttered to himself, feeling helpless.

Since successfully confessing to his master, the events that followed became increasingly surreal.

Senior sister Bai actually apologized on her own, and senior sister Nie turned the tables, developing such feelings for him...

Initially, these people wanted nothing to do with him, but after confessing to his master, why are they all so proactive now?

"It's really strange!"

Ye Shu couldn't figure it out, thinking it's better not to overthink it!

He should focus entirely on his master, Luo Jiu Yan. Successfully winning her over would be much more substantial than anything else.

He took a deep breath and smiled: "Master, I'm ready!"

Two days later.

Even the usually cold and desolate Heavenly Execution Hall was adorned with festive colors.

It was the annual Lantern Festival, and the faces of the disciples and elders were filled with smiles.

This was a day in the secular world to celebrate the blessings bestowed by immortals.

They hung lanterns, wrote blessings, expressing gratitude for the immortals' protection and looking forward to the days ahead.

At the same time, it was also a good day for many young men and women to gather and seek romance.

Although the Heavenly Execution Hall had forbidden such activities, many still gathered together, barbecuing, chatting, and discussing cultivation issues.

It was a rare leisure moment in their cultivation lives.

As the sky darkened and colorful fireworks continued to light up the mountain, Ye Shu, feeling anxious, stepped out.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw a purple figure standing alone by the cliff, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

He didn't expect his master to be waiting for him so early.

Ye Shu took two deep breaths, forced a cheerful smile, and slowly walked over: "Master."

Luo Jiu Yan's senses were exceptionally sharp; even the slightest sound could catch her attention.

She had known early on that Ye Shu had stepped out and was coming towards her.

However, she was conflicted.

Should she really go to the Lantern Festival with him?

But, is it appropriate for a man and a woman to stroll together like this?

Wouldn't something happen?

Thinking this, she felt like escaping, maybe it's better to forget it, as others might misunderstand if they found out.

Just then, a white figure emerged from the nearby woods, looking over expectantly: "Junior brother Ye!"

Luo Jiu Yan suddenly turned her head.

Bai Rou Rou, why is she here too!
