Chapter 998: Chapter 999: Chatting Through the Door
Song Xiaodong stared at Lu Yaobing, momentarily at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Lu Yaobing seemed embarrassed now, biting her lip, she said softly: "Master, just now... I was... was I especially... particularly..." but she couldnât bring herself to finish the sentence.
Song Xiaodong quickly responded, "Itâs the effect of the medicine, not your true intention."
"So you mean I was really... lowly? Oh my God, just let me die, how could I act like this?" Lu Yaobing immediately covered her face, but her cheeks and ears were all flushed red.
Song Xiaodong coughed lightly, "Yaobing, you really donât need to worry. Your master has been through this; every woman behaves similarly in such situations, so you shouldnât have any psychological burden."
"Really?" Lu Yaobingâs hand stayed on her face, asking quietly, "Does Mistress act this way too?"
"Of course, and much more intense than you. In such situations, itâs just instinctive; thereâs no need to talk about shame. As someone who studies medicine, shouldnât you understand this?"
"Well... studying medicine doesnât teach this." Lu Yaobing finally removed her hand from her face, pouting as she spoke.
Song Xiaodong coughed lightly again, "Alright, letâs not bring this up anymore."
"Okay." Lu Yaobing agreed, sitting on the bed silently.
The room suddenly felt more awkward, making Song Xiaodong uncomfortable too, "Let me take you back to school now."
"Okay! Wait, I canât, I... need to take a shower."
"Ah, right, you do need a shower." Song Xiaodong instinctively said, the medicine given today, though not as effective as purification, would expel some impurities from her body, so a wash was necessary.
But Song Xiaodong misunderstood; Lu Yaobing was feeling uncomfortable because of the wetness in her pants from earlier.
Lu Yaobing jumped off the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Song Xiaodong shook his head gently; he had been too careless about tonightâs events, making it somewhat ambiguous with his disciple, he only wanted a pure student, not another wife.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from the bathroom.
Song Xiaodong immediately dashed to the bathroom door, knocking, "Whatâs wrong?"
"Master, why is there a layer of black oil on me?" Lu Yaobing asked from inside with a tone of panic.
Song Xiaodong sighed with relief, "Oh, donât worry, itâs the impurities expelled from your body. Just wash it off well."
"I see, that really scared me." Lu Yaobingâs tone relaxed, then excitedly said, "Is this purification?"
Song Xiaodong laughed, "Itâs not that powerful, just releasing some impurities. Youâre overthinking."
"Will there be a chance for that in the future?"
"Purification is just a legend; I donât even know the real effects, so donât dream too big."
"Hehe, I was just saying. Master, do you think Iâm much stronger now? I feel Iâve significantly more True Qi, my hands feel so strong."
"Currently, you can improve your constitution and use True Qi to heal others."
Lu Yaobing said dejectedly: "Ah, I thought I could become a martial arts master, leaping over walls with ease."
Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, "Itâs not that easy. In the future, when your True Qi increases, I can teach you techniques to release it externally, which isnât too hard."
"Ah, that sounds great! Please help increase my True Qi soon... ah!" Lu Yaobing suddenly exclaimed and then went silent.
"Whatâs wrong?" Song Xiaodong quickly asked.
"Nothing, nothing, thank you, Master." Lu Yaobing said from inside.
Song Xiaodong soon understood her reaction, she mustâve thought True Qi increasing would require the same ordeal again.
"Donât worry, Iâll control the medicine dose in future, it wonât happen again."
"Oh, I know, but... itâs no big deal. Youâre my master, doing something embarrassing in front of you wonât make you laugh at me."
"Thatâs true." Song Xiaodong responded instinctively.
"So... Master, donât fret, knowing youâre looking out for me, I wonât... mind."
"Ahem ahem..." Song Xiaodong didnât dare continue, any further and Lu Yaobing might indeed end up as his wife.
"Alright, finish washing, Iâll go rest." Song Xiaodong said, then went back to his bedroom, lying on the bed.
After a while, Lu Yaobing finally came out of the bathroom, drying her hair, saying excitedly: "Master, I feel so light and comfortable now, oh, Master, whatâs with that look..." she stamped her foot, blushing furiously.
Song Xiaodong coughed awkwardly, when Lu Yaobing came out drying her hair, it reminded him of his wives at home, who often did the same after a shower.
That was usually when delightful nights began, Song Xiaodong had spaced out for a moment.
"You misunderstood, I was just thinking about my wives." Song Xiaodong quickly provided an excuse.
"Oh..." Lu Yaobing glanced at Song Xiaodong again, his gaze returning to normal, she stuck out her tongue, "I thought Master would turn into a night demon."
"Nonsense, youâre my disciple, how could I think that way, now dry your hair, I need to hurry you home, and head back myself tonight."
"So late, Master, youâre heading home?"
Song Xiaodong smiled, "Yes, I canât keep my wives waiting, coming home every night is what makes a good man."
Lu Yaobing giggled lightly, "Master is indeed a good man, letâs hurry before Mistress blames me."
The two left the room, walking side by side, Lu Yaobing gradually linked her arm with Song Xiaodongâs, her gaze lightly tinged with nervousness...
