Chapter 107: [The Master is Coming Back]

Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun naturally didn’t know what Lin Chan was thinking about. All he knew was that he felt very relaxed now. Returning to the Small Study in the back mountain made him feel comfortable and content.

Usually, he wouldn’t feel this way, but after being away for a while and then coming back, this feeling becomes quite strong.

That’s what home feels like.

Even Lin Chan could sense that her master was more casual than when he was outside, not paying much attention to his appearance anymore. Little did she know, in front of everyone else, Lu Xun had an image to uphold.

Seeing that Mao Nanbei was sizing up Little Mute, Lu Xun smiled and said, “Fourth Senior Sister, this is my disciple Lin Chan that I accepted while down the mountain.”

“Lin Chan, this is your Fourth Senior Aunt.” He addressed Lin Chan.

Little Mute hurriedly paid her respects. However, she also felt a little bewildered. This little girl, who had a pair of fluffy cat ears, seemed to be younger than herself.

Mao Nanbei, upon hearing about Lu Xun bringing back a disciple from a trip down the mountain, was caught by surprise. Finding out that Lin Chan was mute, she patted herself and said:

“If anyone bullies you, write it down in this book and tell Fourth Senior Aunt. Auntie will take revenge for you. I’ll chop off their heads with one strike!” While saying this, her face revealed an adorably fierce expression.

Afterwards, Mao Nanbei actually took out a book from her storage ring and passed it to Lin Chan, maintaining a serious demeanor.

Lu Xun’s mouth slightly twitched. What on earth is this, a death notebook? Would any name written in this book later be violently disassembled by Mao Nanbei..

Since the gift was from her fourth senior aunt, Lin Chan accepted it. Not to mention, Mao Nanbei really did come every few days to ask her, “Little Chan, did you jot down any names in the note?”

Of course, this was all yet to come.

After returning to the Small Study, Lu Xun took a brief rest before diving into the kitchen to prepare a grand meal for everyone.

“Fourth Senior Sister, please go to the bamboo forest and gather some winter bamboo shoots,” Lu Xun instructed Mao Nanbei.

“Sure!” Obliging, Mao Nanbei lost all traces of her usual haughty and rebellious temperament, radiating only obedience.

She swiftly headed towards the bamboo forest, said a quick hello to Second Senior Sister, and then began to dig up the winter bamboo shoots with a meow.

She was quite smart, choosing only the tender ones.

Lin Chan stood beside Lu Xun, looking somewhat like a maidservant. It didn’t seem appropriate for her to just sit and wait for the meal while her master cooked. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that she should be doing something.

“If you’re bored, just watch me. I’ll teach you a few things,” Lu Xun offered to Lin Chan.

Then, he showed off his amazing knife skills, even demonstrating how to flip a spoon, so she could learn from his expertise.

Lin Chan watched intently as if she was completely absorbed. Even though Lu

Xun mentioned “teaching a few things” offhand, she took the lesson seriously.

Lu Xun cooked with notable enthusiasm because he was increasingly enjoying the pleasure drawn from nurturing others.

A skinny little disciple, a slightly thin, quiet senior sister, and a particularly gluttonous little black cat … the exhilaration of nurturing them was satisfying! Ah, the pleasure of feeding others and seeing their satisfaction was simply unsurpassed!

It must be said, each of his feeding targets had distinctive charms, ranging from innocent young girls and uniformed sisters (in Daoist robes), to cat-eared Iolitas. He just couldn’t stop!

He made stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, chili-fried meat, braised fish, and hot and sour shredded potatoes. Although they were all just simple home-cooked dishes and nothing too fancy, the flavors were exceptional.

Once he finished cooking, Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan filled two baskets with rice and hot dishes and everyone headed to the bamboo forest together.

This was the first time Lin Chan was having a meal with everyone from the Small Study in the back mountain, so she was a little bit nervous. As soon as she tasted Lu Xun’s cooking, her eyes brightened noticeably.

It’s delicious!

She began to wonder if there was anything her gorgeous master couldn’t do.

The winter chill was intensifying. Except for Lin Chan who had a lower cultivation base and distinct physique, no one else felt the cold. Thinking it over, Lu Xun removed his cloak and draped it over Lin Chan.

He was much larger than the petite Lin Chan so his cloak looked like a big blanket over her. It even seemed as if a little girl was wearing an adult man’s clothes. It appeared amusing but also endearing.

The cloak still has a trace of Lu Xun’s scent, and Lin Chan is now fifteen years old, the age of a young maiden. With her head slightly bowed, a subtle blush appears on her cute cheeks, and she seems somewhat embarrassed.

She steals a glance at Lu Xun and sees her master in a joyful struggle over fish meat with the fourth senior with cat ears. Her master is laughing heartily, and that laughter… is beautiful.

Maybe because it’s too cold, Lin Chan can’t help but tighten the cloak that Lu Xun draped over her.

After the meal, Little Lin Chan immediately stood up and began cleaning the bowls and chopsticks, packing them into a bamboo basket.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the second senior sister’s bowls and chopsticks slowly descend from above, a mystical sight for the inexperienced Little Mute.

Hunger satiated, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei are leaning against both ends of the same bamboo, rubbing their bellies in synchrony, and then each lets out a satisfied burp.

“The days on the mountain with Little Junior Brother are too wonderful meow!” Mao Nanbei sticks out her tongue to lick her lips, purring to herself.

After eating, Lu Xun feels it’s time to ask some serious questions.

He asks his two senior sisters, “Second senior sister, fourth senior sister, I’ve cultivated Qi Consumption Technique to Great Perfection. Do you have any advice on the following cultivation techniques?”

Actually, he’s mainly asking the second senior sister. Mao Nanbei is from the Monster Clan, and she’s bit flighty, so he doesn’t expect her to have any useful advice.

However, if he doesn’t include her in the conversation, she would throw a tantrum, possibly tackle Lu Xun to the ground, sit on his stomach, and scratch his face with her cute little paws!

As expected, Mao Nanbei remains silent, indicating that being included in the conversation is enough for her — Fourth Senior Sister is happy.jpg.

Actually, Lu Xun already has at least five plans for his next stage of progression, being a veteran player of “Heavenly Dust”, he is quite astute and proficient at charting his course.

However, this is after all the mysterious Small Study of the rear mountain, who knows if there might be some secret cultivation techniques?

Just like the Orange Level “Sword Cultivating Technique”, it was unheard of when Lu Xun was playing the game, nobody had ever learned such an extraordinary skill.

Unfortunately, his second senior sister simply responds with, “Do… Don’t rush.”

However, her next words leave Lu Xun stunned.

She continued, “Do… Don’t rush. The… The master will be back soon.”

It seems the second senior sister always has a way of contacting the master. When Lu Xun made a leap on Lead Peak, she contacted the master and after receiving the master’s reply, she officially admitted him to the mountains.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun is no longer languidly leaning against the bamboo pole, but sits upright.

The master is finally coming back?

All told, Lu Xun has been with the Small Study in the rear mountains for several months now, from autumn till deep winter.

With the help of the second senior sister and Mao Nanbei, he has reached level ten and cultivated the Qi Consumption Technique to the Great Perfection, transforming into a Cultivator on the cusp of the Initial Realm.

And to this day, he still doesn’t know what his master looks like!

This feeling is like you go to high school, where the homeroom teacher and other teachers never show their faces, and you are being taught by senior sisters from upper classes… Hmm, that image seems rather lovely too!

However, Lu Xun’s curiosity about this mystery master, remains exceedingly high.

It is said that this master single-handedly “persuaded” the four Righteous Sects, thereby allowing the growth of the Demon Sect.

Because of him, the Demon Sect, a faction without deep historical roots, stands firm and has become one of the factional equals with the four major orthodox sects and two other major demon sects.

And it was he who nurtured Yan Li, who is hailed as the world’s first Sword Cultivator!

Now Lu Xun doesn’t seem to be in a hurry anymore, he decides to wait for the master to return.
