When an incident becomes a habit, when you suddenly want to change it, you would find it very difficult.

After months of falling asleep to his rod being held by his little disciple, the usually steady, unshakeable Zhang Yan soon found himself closing one eye to this with growing tendency.

It wasn’t that he didn’t about any methods to rectify the situation, but unfortunately, no matter how he tried to wake Ye Xuan up, or to take away her hand, she always ended up back into Zhang Yan’s arm, holding his erected phallus firmly in her hand as if she was holding some precious treasure.

One night he was so distressed, he had tried to use his powers to hold Ye Xuan’s body in place. Alas, when the little girl woke up in the middle of the night and found that her hand was empty of its familiar feeling, she immediately cried out. She was half asleep and half awake then, tears rolled down her face as her little mouth murmured, “I want……Master, give it back to me……”

Zhang Yan froze for a moment, but in the end his body froze as he returned it to her……

Could it be that Ye Xuan treats his rod as a toy? It was impossible for Zhang Yan to ask Ye Xuan, he could only give up on himself and tolerate his little disciple’s bad habit.

What’s worse, Ye Xuan’s bad habit seemed to be worsening.

She couldn’t stay still while sleeping in Zhang Yan’s arm, her unintentional kisses and licking of his chest was just a small matter. A few days ago, Ye Xuan had possibly dreamt of something, after she muttered in her sleep then with a soft cry “ah-om” she bit down onto Zhang Yan’s. Zhang Yan was instantly stunned, all he could comprehend was the feeling of her soft little tongue licking around his nipple, then she must have bared her teeth now, because she was fiercely grinding it.

Zhang Yan was a Yuan Ying realm cultivator, his body was physically strong, and Ye Xuan’s puny force couldn’t hurt him. But those two rows of fine teeth bit all over Zhang Yan’s nipples, causing his body to tingle and his lower abdomen swelled like it was about to burst.

<details><summary>T/N: Yuan Ying</summary> There are 7 Moments (七候-Qī hòu), 5 Instants (五时-Wǔ shí) in cultivation as it was historically recorded. The 7 moments (tl-ed as moments because of the hou from shi hou), list the signs shown when individuals enter into different cultivation realms (the characteristics when they break into the realm and what they can enjoy from a cultivation of that level) Here, Yuan Ying is under the cultivation realm of Hui Yang after the Fourth Moment. Upon reaching this realm, cultivators can use all the sky and earth’s energy sources for themselves.</details>

With peerless willpower, he suppressed the moan from his throat, Zhang Yan was about to move Ye Xuan’s head away and teach her a harsh lesson. But who would have guessed that with a final flick of her tongue, she rolled over and fell asleep deeply.

Zhang Yan’s heart was filled with fire that couldn’t be discharged, and he could only lie on the bed dumbfounded. The powerful Zhang Zhenjun had never felt so aggrieved, but he could only endure.

As for them to separate into different rooms, that was even more impossible. Zhang Yan ruthlessly rejected Ye Xuan from sleeping with him a few times, but it always ended up with him unable to see his little disciple full of tears and he would be forced to accept the outcome.

It wasn’t that he had never asked what he truly thought.

After spending hundreds of nights sleeping together, Zhang Yan had become used to Ye Xuan’s presence. He did not need to sleep, and in the countless nights before this, there had only been a temple oil lamp, with him alone in cultivation.

When was the beginning of such a time, where every time night fell, he would subconsciously lie on the bed, and embrace the dainty little soft body.

As a cultivator, it was important to face one’s heart and understand it clearly. After many times of questioning, Zhang Yan had to admit that he had fallen in love with his little disciple.

He couldn’t turn a blind eye to this feeling, if he did so, Zhang Yan would no longer be Zhang Yan.

But, this feeling must never be declared, and this wasn’t just because of the status of the two. The cultivation world valued cultivation above all, not seniority, and the number of master-disciple pairings that truly desired to become cultivation couples were few and far between. What made it difficult for Zhang Yan to face was Ye Xuan’s innocent heart.

She was so naive and delicate, ignorant about the affairs between men and women, how could Zhang Yan entice her at this time. Therefore, he could only try to restrain himself, to look at Ye Xuan through the eyes of a teacher, and not a man.

If Ye Xuan knew what Zhang Yan was thinking, she probably would have been so filled with regret, she would’ve wanted to use her head to beat against the ground. It had been too easy for her to play the innocent little girl, and look what it had gotten her into nothing but trouble.

Right now, she was addicted to the game of teasing her ascetic master, stealing his tofu at regular times every night, it was simply too fun for her. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but wonder, where exactly was her master’s bottom line? She was an action-taker, once an idea entered her mind, she would immediately decide to go for a try.

Therefore, that night when Zhang Yan went back to their room, he saw a scene that made all the blood in his whole body boil.

What entered his eyes was the sight of Ye Xuan with her bare, fair thighs, round little buttocks high up, she was sprawled across the bed, doing God knows what. Those two delicate buttocks twisted and turned, and as she moved, a small pink flower slit was revealed.

“Master!” Ye Xuan heard the sound of Zhang Yan’s footsteps, and immediately let out a cry of excitement. Then she ran towards him barefooted, and embraced her dumbfounded master.

“Master, are you alright?” The little girl’s clear big eyes widened, keenly aware that her master’s expression was not right. As Zhang Yan remained silent, she hugged Zhang Yan’s waist without hesitation and clamped both legs around it.

This was what she usually loved to do, whenever she wanted a hug from her master, she would gently clamp her legs together, and with some degree of resignation Zhang Yan would use a hand to keep her from falling, securing her in the crook of his arms.

This time was no exception, but when he noticed that Ye Xuan opened her legs and that her bare flower was flush against his own waist, Zhang Yan suddenly panicked. He hurriedly lifted Ye Xuan and held her slender waist with his right hand. Ye Xuan felt a little ticklish, and instinctively squirmed. Thanks to this, Zhang Yan’s palm shifted to being right between her legs.

His hot palm wrapped the entirety of the young girl’s tender flower. His palm was slightly rough to the touch, and as it was tightly pressed against Ye Xuan’s flower petals, even the slightest movement, brought with it a strange sort of ticklish itch and pleasure.

Ye Xuan whimpered, almost immediately falling weakly into Zhang Yan’s arms. Fortunately, she still remembered that she was now still a little innocent girl, so she had to strongly suppress her heart full of lust. She looked at Zhang Yan with her lightly blushed face, “Master, it tickles……”

Zhang Yan’s look in his eyes instantly changed, at that moment, Ye Xuan saw a beast that was staring deadstraight at herself, as if in the very next moment it would turn violent, and swallow her completely into its stomach.

Am I going to be pounced on? Ye Xuan couldn’t control her excitement.

Then, she noticed Zhang Yan’s face darkening, he put her down on the chair and coldly reprimanded, “Nonsense!” Then without hesitating, he turned around and left.

Well, this plot development doesn’t seem right……

On the next day, a Dao child under Zhang Yan’s care came to meet Ye Xuan and moved Ye Xuan’s belongings out from Feng Zhen Hall again.

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded, could last night have been too much? But shouldn’t the consequence of going overboard be that master would turn into a hungry wolf, and gobble up the little white rabbit, bones and all? What development was this?

No matter what happened, she would never accept moving out from Feng Zhen Hall.

Ye Xuan pouted and immediately went to find Zhang Yan. It had just been one night of not seeing him but Ye Xuan felt there had been a slight change in Master.

Zhang Yan sat by the window, he wore the same robe as the first time Ye Xuan met him, the black robe with patterns of clouds. Because it was against the light, Ye Xuan could barely make out his expression. But looking at his slender hand that held the ridge of the book, his fingertips were slightly pale.

“Master.” Ye Xuan pitifully cried out.

“Say no more.” Without waiting for her to finish, Zhang Yan emotionlessly said, “Be good and move to Wang Xing Hill, every fifth and tenth day of the month, I will send someone to call you for the sermon.”

His tone was not harsh, but when Ye Xuan heard it, her heart sank to the bottom.

Zhang Yan was not an expressive person, even when he was extremely joyful or mad, he would show this cool look with a toneless voice. It was obvious that right now, he was extremely mad.

At present, every decision he made, would never change.

Where did things go wrong? Ye Xuan was puzzled, she cried while cursing herself in her heart. However, no matter how miserably she cried, Zhang Yan remained unaffected.

He seemed to have turned back into that Yuan Ying Zhenjun , with a will as firm as rock. He seemed to be looking down on Ye Xuan from high above, with a cold indifference between his eyebrows that wouldn’t fade.

The sweet and soft feelings of the past had all turned into vulnerable bubbles that could burst at any moment, but now they were no longer significant.

Ye Xuan couldn’t stop crying and felt truly aggrieved from the depths of her heart. It might have been the residual feelings of this body’s original owner, or she might have really developed feelings for this jade-tree of a man.

<details><summary>T/N: “Jade-tree”</summary> Jade-tree refers to a sacred tree mentioned in myths.</details>

Without knowing how long she cried, Ye Xuan felt dizzy, through her blurred vision, she only saw Zhang Yan’s grim face. Extremely upset and heartbroken, she stomped her feet, then desperately retorted, “Master you’re so mean!” The little girl turned away without a second glance and ran off.

As soon as the delicate figure left, Zhang Yan exhaled as if he was going to collapse. If Ye Xuan had insisted on staying, he was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to follow through with his decision and end up continuing to keep her by his side.

They couldn’t go on like this. On that night, Zhang Yan had used all his strength to suppress his urge to kiss Ye Xuan. If he allowed Ye Xuan to spend more time with him, one day he would act worse than a beast.

So be it, he sighed in his heart. After this last time of cutting her off, he should be able to let go of her right.

“Ming Yue.” He stood up, called the Daoist child by the door to enter, “Spread the word to Feng Zhen Hall, I am going to be in seclusion for half a year, I won’t see anyone who comes, no exceptions.”
