Chapter 791: Obedient Disciple Enters the Embrace 25

After bidding farewell to the villagers, the two returned to the inn to rest.

Perhaps because today's emotions fluctuated too much, Fei Mian fell asleep quickly, but his brows remained tightly furrowed.

Jin Chen held the person to comfort them, closed his eyes, and released his divine sense.

The divine artifact is about to appear; there should be a disturbance tomorrow.

Spirit Dragon Qilin Armor...

Perhaps before finding the Flame Demon, this artifact could stabilize Fei Mian's soul.

Having already made a decision in his heart, he withdrew his divine sense and closed his eyes to rest.

After daylight fully brightened, having finished the online report of the original plot's 0731 nonstop update, yawns came one after another.

【Host! The original plot never mentioned the Flame Demon; the villain hadn't even discovered his soul was damaged before he fell into demonhood, and practicing demon arts became much smoother. Besides——I want to go out and play!】

【Go, don't get caught.】

【Okay——】

Fei Mian, who was eating breakfast, raised his head in doubt.

How come it looks like a beam of light flew out?

But seeing that Master had no reaction, he thought it was just his illusion.

He stuffed the last two buns into his mouth, wiped off the oil stains, and puffed his cheeks while muttering.

"Master! What are we going to do today?"

"Today the Mountain Valley Divine Formation opens; go seize the divine artifact."

Seeing his excited expression, yesterday's sorrow had been forgotten at the back of his mind; Jin Chen chuckled lightly and teased, "Do you have confidence in obtaining the divine artifact?"

"As Master, I may not necessarily help you."

"The rule is that the team leader Immortal Master must not favor disciples; Fei Mian naturally understood, he raised his head firmly and said, 'I can!'"

"Safety comes first; this time two divine artifacts will appear, and the Spirit Dragon Qilin Armor is more beneficial to you."

After Jin Chen finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, without moving his body, he gestured to Fei Mian.

"Mianbao, come."

Fei Mian obediently went over, habitually sat on Master's lap, tilted his head slightly, as if puzzled.

Before he could ask Master what to do, he felt a warm breath spray down, and the distance instantly closed.

His heart trembled, his eyelashes fluttered extremely fast; lowering his gaze, he felt their foreheads touching, and could even see Master's high nose bridge and lips slightly smiling.

His whole body was also drawn into the embrace, his waist restrained, making him unable to escape.

Nor did he wish to escape.

Fei Mian could feel his heartbeat quickening, even faintly feeling a palpitation as if he couldn't catch his breath.

The heat surged upward, and the corners of his eyes were stained with two shades of shimmering red.

Soon he understood what Master was doing.

He was replenishing his Xuan power, channeling it into his dantian meridians.

"Master, no need……"

"Good, close your eyes."

At such close proximity, even the voice seemed lower than usual.

Fei Mian dared not move; he felt that hearing those words made his lower back inexplicably go soft.

He grabbed the corner of Master's chest garment, and his snow-white neck took on a pink hue.

After a long while, Jin Chen finally stopped transmitting Xuan power, slightly raised his head, and naturally held the person in his arms.

His cold, clear voice echoed softly in Fei Mian's ear, exuding an enchanting indulgence.

"As Master, I will accompany you all the way, but seizing the divine artifact still requires your own effort."

"I will obtain the divine artifact; I will definitely not embarrass Master."

After leaning close in Master's embrace for a while, the strange red flush on his face finally faded; Fei Mian was then released, and together with Jin Chen he proceeded to the outside of the formation.

——

"Greetings, Elder; I have met the Junior Uncle."

When the two arrived, all the disciples of the Xuanzong Sect had already gathered.

Outside the formation, it was unknown whether only the Xuanzong Sect's people were present.

There were also the Biyun Sect disciples they had bumped into that day, several major sects, and even unnamed sects that came.

After all, the divine artifact has appeared; everyone wants to become that chosen one.

Perhaps the one chosen by the divine artifact is oneself.

Seeing so many people, Fei Mian involuntarily became a bit more solemn, following beside Jin Chen; their demeanor was equally aloof.

"Ling Xu Elder."

The Biyun Sect Grand Immortal Master came over to salute with clasped hands, his tone apologetic.

"A few days ago, I heard that our sect's disciples were ignorant and actually offended your disciple; that was truly inappropriate. Today I represent them in apologizing to your disciple."

Although he said he was apologizing to Fei Mian, his gaze was fixed on Jin Chen the whole time.

He was just using this as an excuse to casually strike up a conversation.

Over these years, Fei Mian has seen plenty of such people.

Jin Chen glanced at him, then curled his lip in a cold snort, uttering an 'en' as a response.

This left the Grand Immortal Master unsure how to continue the conversation; he could only chuckle awkwardly and leave.

Xie Xi followed behind Luo Yi Ping, full of interest.

Suddenly, he saw the formation's barrier appear, with mist hazily spreading.

The great formation opened!

Someone shouted loudly.

As long as one can pass the trials of the divine artifact, they can obtain the worldly divine artifact.

Everyone entered the mist; in an instant, the voice that had just been shouting vanished.

The entire maze fell silent.

This is the first trial of the divine artifact, the puzzle obstacle.

Master...

Jin Chen heard a soft murmur.

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer inside the maze.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, surveying his surroundings.

It was like a secluded cave; beside him was a hazy hot spring, and before him lay a man leaning on a fox blanket, breathtakingly beautiful, extraordinarily alluring.

But this face was extremely familiar to Jin Chen.

Fei Mian...

One should say that, after reaching adulthood, Fei Mian had already fallen into the demonic path.

Compared to his youth, his features were more exquisite; the cinnabar mark on his brow was bewitchingly alluring, his red robes draped loosely, barely covering his thighs.

Seeing Jin Chen finally notice him, Fei Mian immediately flashed a seductive smile, his boneless arms supporting his body as his bare feet touched the ground, walking toward him.

Master, you have finally come.

Fei Mian approached Jin Chen; seeing that he did not refuse, his smile grew more fervent.

His fingertips had already rested on his shoulder, a faint fragrance spreading.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze, staring at that face, then glanced at his clothing, as if pondering something.

Master, why won't you speak?

Fei Mian's eyes looked somewhat hurt, his phoenix eyes drooping as he clung to his arm in a coquettish manner.

You don't know; I have suffered greatly in the demon clan... it's so painful.

Please coax me, Master...

Jin Chen finally spoke, his tone calm: "What suffering have you endured?"

Hearing his response, Fei Mian felt even more wronged; he released his arm, walked alone to the edge of the hot spring, letting the mist envelop him, his long eyelashes also becoming damp.

As if he had been crying.

Being a demonic fallen one is painful, Master, and the demon clan may not accept me... they all abuse me, humiliating me in every conceivable way.

I can only become more ruthless and ferocious than them in order to survive.

Having said that, Fei Mian gave a light laugh, as if the sorrowful person just now were not him.

However, I have waited for you, Master; you treat me so well, you will surely dote on me, right?

He faced Jin Chen, smiling as he stepped back, then slipped and fell into the hot spring pool.

With a splashing sound, water sprayed upward.

The gauzy red robes instantly became soaked and semi-transparent; Fei Mian rose in the water, utterly bewitching.

Master, please come and dote on me...

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with a faint fragrance, and warmth rose.
