READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 57 Master and Disciple
“The Jun Family, Jun Jiu had never even considered returning.
She remained in Feng Luo City, where Shangguan Yirong’s ceaseless schemes posed a constant challenge. Going back would mean daily battles of wits, a prospect she found incredibly bothersome. She favored a swift, decisive strike instead.
Half-measures were not her way.
Ascending the stairs, Jun Jiu suddenly halted. She turned to look at Mo Wuyue with a sly smile. “Mo Wuyue, it’s not exactly proper for a single man and woman to live together. We should have a valid reason, don’t you think?”
“Hmm?” Mo Wuyue gazed at her, his deep eyes filled with curiosity.
In the next moment, he smiled.
Just as an ancient smile could conquer nations, a devilish smile could ensnare souls today.
Jun Jiu, her face cool and composed, struggled to quell her racing heart. Saintly Jun Jiu couldn’t possibly be swayed by a man’s charm!
Mo Wuyue inquired, “What reason do you require, Little Jiu?”
“Master and disciple. To the outside world, you will be my master, and I your disciple. This way, if we live together, nobody will question it, and it will be convenient for both of us, right?”
Mo Wuyue raised an eyebrow. “Hmm, Little Jiu, are you trying to explain the source of your strength, perhaps?”
Aware of Mo Wuyue’s formidable power, Jun Jiu saw an opportunity to make him her master, a move that would also intimidate any troublemakers.
Even though she was laid bare, Jun Jiu remained composed. She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “What do you say? Would you like to be my master?”
“Very well. I shall be Little Jiu’s master.”
Jun Jiu’s lips curled into a subtle, self-satisfied smile. Then, Mo Wuyue took a step closer. Dangerously close! Mo Wuyue’s overpowering presence stole Jun Jiu’s breath, causing her to instinctively step back.
With her back against a door, Jun Jiu found herself cornered by Mo Wuyue.
Mo Wuyue’s eyes regained their golden hue, a dazzling and magnificent shade surpassing all the brightness in the world. He fixed his golden gaze on Jun Jiu and reached to lift her chin.
Too close!
Jun Jiu felt as though she were suffocating, drawn into Mo Wuyue’s gaze. She struggled to swallow and asked, “Mo Wuyue, what are you doing?”
Was he angered by her manipulation and ready to retaliate?
Thinking this, Jun Jiu’s hidden hand clenched a dagger tightly. If Mo Wuyue made a move, she’d strike first.
However, Mo Wuyue spoke, “The nature of master-disciple relationships varies from person to person. Ours, Little Jiu, is unique.”
“What…” The word she intended to utter was silenced before it escaped her lips.
With widened eyes, Jun Jiu watched in shock as Mo Wuyue drew closer, marking her lips with a searing kiss.
“Ouch!” She directed the dagger towards Mo Wuyue’s heart, but he remained still. Instead, he deftly caught the blade with two fingers. Then, he withdrew the kiss, sporting a wicked smile. “Remember, Little Jiu, our master-disciple relationship is one of a kind.”
Jun Jiu remained silent. The dagger wouldn’t budge, so she let it go. She grabbed Mo Wuyue’s collar with her right hand and moved to knee him in the legs. Her attempt was too severe, and Mo Wuyue had to sidestep to evade it.
His move caused Jun Jiu to yank open his collar, unintentionally revealing something intimate. Startled, she let go, and Mo Wuyue stepped back, creating some distance.
Normal air returned to her surroundings, carrying away Mo Wuyue’s presence. Jun Jiu breathed deeply.
She touched her lips, feeling their heat. Her entire face seemed ablaze, and her breath felt scorching.
Remain composed!
In the modern era, it was just a kiss. However, nobody had ever dared to get so intimately close to her. Mo Wuyue was the first to take such liberties.
Jun Jiu inhaled deeply and smiled at Mo Wuyue with a hint of fierceness. “I don’t mind if my master takes liberties, Master!”
She gritted out the last word.
With a cold snort, Jun Jiu touched her lips again, feeling humiliated.
She had suggested the master-disciple relationship, and now she regretted it. But the words had been spoken, and she couldn’t take them back.
Jun Jiu touched her lips once more. They were still burning, and her face felt heated. Even her breath seemed fiery.
Stay composed!
She wouldn’t leave like this. Now that Mo Wuyue was her master, she needed to make the most of it. However, she didn’t realize that in the end, she might end up on the losing side.
Mo Wuyue also touched his lips but appeared satisfied. With a wicked smile, he drew closer.
Jun Jiu remained petrified outside the door, unable to snap out of it for a long time. The cat and the person exchanged frozen glances.
Xiao Wu: My master was assaulted!
Leng Yuan: Well, my master was assaulted by your master!
“Meow, meow, meow!” Xiao Wu, feeling wronged and angry, rushed into the room. My master, I’m here to rescue you! I’ll bite the bad person now!
Leng Yuan was even more astonished, and his stiff posture as he walked was exceptionally awkward. His master had actually assaulted Jun Jiu and spoken such embarrassing and seductive words. So, his master had these kinds of intentions?
But was it a bit perverted to develop an interest in a young girl?
…
The Mo Mansion was quite extensive, with several courtyards. Jun Jiu chose the best one and instructed Biluo to prepare it. She completely ignored Mo Wuyue, who followed her.
Until… Mo Wuyue came up to her with a cat in his arms. “Little Jiu, here’s your cat.”
“Meow
, meow, meow!” Xiao Wu was pitiful and upset.
He couldn’t win, and he didn’t even get close to Mo Wuyue’s clothes. He was caught by Mo Wuyue.
Jun Jiu heard Xiao Wu’s complaints, filled with frustration and anger. Her mouth twitched, and she rescued Xiao Wu from Mo Wuyue’s hands. Mo Wuyue sat down in front of her, completely naturally.
Only then did Mo Wuyue speak, “Lengyuan said that they’ve been trying to capture Jun Jiu in the city.”
They were trying to capture a decoy version of Jun Jiu, so they couldn’t imagine that the real Jun Jiu, who had made a name for herself by causing chaos in the Alchemy Pavilion, was the one they were looking for. Naturally, they couldn’t capture the real deal.
Jun Jiu’s lips curled into a cold and wicked smile. “Let them try. Let them capture her for a month or two. Shangguan Yirong will get even more anxious.”
“Isn’t Little Jiu planning to make an appearance?”
“Not right now. I’ll wait. I’ll make the Jun Family turn upside down when I return for the head of the Jun Family’s birthday banquet next month.” Jun Jiu stroked the cat in her lap, her eyes flashing with a murderous intent.
The entire Jun Family was like a spider’s web. She wasn’t in a hurry. She could wait and return for the head of the Jun Family’s birthday banquet next month. But she needed someone to keep an eye on the Jun Family’s activities.
In the depths of Jun Jiu’s heart, a name surfaced.
