Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 20

“Chenxi, calm down. We can’t just run around like headless flies-leaving here won’t solve the problem.”

“Rather than finding another place to stay, what’s more important is for you to relax your mind, Chenxi. Don’t stay so tense.”

“Maybe you’ve been pushing yourself too hard, constantly breaking through to new realms, always on edge and never truly relaxing-that’s probably why these issues are arising.”

As Bai Yue spoke, she reached out and gently placed her hand on Mu Chenxi’s head, softly stroking her as if soothing a kitten.

Feeling the gentle motion atop her head, Mu Chenxi’s restless heart gradually calmed once again.

“Come here.” Bai Yue patted her own crossed legs. “Lie down on Master’s lap, let me comb your hair.”

“I remember when I was little, Grandmaster used to comb my hair just like this. It was so comfortable I’d fall asleep without even realizing it, and all my worries would disappear.”

“Mm.”

Mu Chenxi nodded, slowly lying down and resting her head on her Master’s soft lap.

Surrounded by Bai Yue’s unique fresh herbal scent, her heart did indeed settle down quite a bit.

Bai Yue raised her hand, slender pale fingers running patiently and gently through Mu Chenxi’s smooth blue hair, again and again.

Mu Chenxi slowly closed her eyes. The last trace of unease in her heart was gradually dispelled by this gentle comfort.

Soon, drowsiness crept in again and she drifted into a deep sleep.

This time, she slept soundly, no longer awakened by any nightmares.

Bai Yue lowered her head and looked at her Disciple’s peaceful sleeping face, but her eyes revealed worry.

Could this really be a sign of coming danger…?

In truth, Bai Yue was anxious too, but she showed none of it in front of Mu Chenxi.

Now that Chenxi’s mental state was so unstable, as her Master, Bai Yue could not afford to panic-she definitely couldn’t give Chenxi any more pressure.

Perhaps it really is just a false alarm…

Bai Yue tried to comfort herself, forcing herself not to let her thoughts wander.

In the face of unknown danger, losing composure is the greatest taboo. She needed to stay calm as well.

Not wanting to wake Mu Chenxi, Bai Yue didn’t move again.

She maintained this posture, slowly closed her eyes, and began to meditate and cultivate.

The next morning.

When Mu Chenxi woke, she saw Bai Yue’s tired face.

Bai Yue hadn’t rested, having meditated in cultivation all night.

Because of her special constitution, she had to sleep at night just like ordinary people.

At this moment, Bai Yue looked listless.

She felt Mu Chenxi moving on her lap and opened her eyes.

Seeing that Mu Chenxi was awake, Bai Yue asked, “Chenxi, you’re awake. How do you feel? Any more strange symptoms?”

“Master, I’m fine. I don’t feel anything strange now, I’m just sorry for troubling you.”

Mu Chenxi struggled to sit up, feeling a bit guilty.

Her Master hadn’t rested all night, worrying and exhausting herself all because of her.

“It’s nothing. I’m a Cultivator, after all. Even though my constitution is special and I feel tired without sleep, it’s not a big deal.”

Bai Yue spoke gently, reaching out to tidy Chenxi’s messy blue hair.

“Master, can we keep moving further away from the Ancient Battlefield?”

Mu Chenxi hesitated before speaking up.

She still cared a lot about that sense of danger, but delaying the search for Grandmaster worried her, making her afraid her Master would think she was neglecting her duty.

Bai Yue saw through her Disciple’s worries and comforted Mu Chenxi in turn, saying, “That’s fine, safety comes first. Grandmaster has been gone a long time-taking some extra time won’t make a difference.”

“Master, then let’s set off now.”

Mu Chenxi was quite eager about this, and Bai Yue could feel how tense her nerves still were.
“Alright, let’s set off now.”

Bai Yue followed Mu Chenxi’s suggestion, hoping it would help her Disciple relax.

Mu Chenxi used Sword Flight to carry Bai Yue, and Bai Yue gently wrapped her arms around Chenxi’s slender waist.

The two of them flew in the direction away from the Ancient Battlefield, which was also the way they had come.

The path they took earlier had been safe all the way, with no sign of danger, so Mu Chenxi felt this was the most reliable choice.

Bai Yue hadn’t slept all night, holding onto Mu Chenxi.

She felt the softness and fragrance of her Disciple, like hugging a pillow, and couldn’t help but feel drowsy. Soon, she dozed off, still holding Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi noticed Bai Yue’s steady, long breaths, so she wrapped Bai Yue in Spiritual Power, keeping her securely close.

At the same time, she raised a Spiritual Shield to block the wind, slowing down their flight speed.

She truly was caring more and more about Bai Yue, being extremely attentive so Bai Yue could rest well while holding her.

When Bai Yue woke up, she realized it was already evening.

She was still being held in Mu Chenxi’s arms, heading toward the Cave Abode where they had previously stayed.

“Master, you’re awake.”

“Mm, put me down. I can walk.”

Bai Yue’s pretty face flushed slightly.

Being carried princess-style by her Disciple was comfortable, but as the Master, she felt a bit embarrassed.

“Alright.”

Mu Chenxi nodded and gently set Bai Yue down.

Actually, she wanted to keep holding the soft, fragrant Bai Yue and was a little reluctant to let go.

“At noon, when the cold in my body flared up, did you use the Warm Sun Jade?” Bai Yue asked.

“Yes, Master. I didn’t want to wake you and hoped you’d rest more, so I made the decision to use it,” Mu Chenxi answered truthfully.

“That’s not acting on your own. I should thank you.”

Bai Yue raised her hand and patted Mu Chenxi’s head.

“Mm, we’re Master and Disciple. It’s only natural.”

Mu Chenxi replied seriously, enjoying Bai Yue’s affectionate gesture, which eased her tense nerves.

“Let me set up the Cave Abode. You’ve been flying all day, so take a break,” Bai Yue said.

“Alright.”

Mu Chenxi agreed obediently and watched Bai Yue busy herself in the temporary Cave Abode.

Soon, everything was arranged. Mu Chenxi activated the Spirit Gathering Formation and, holding Bai Yue’s hand, began cultivating.

Seeing Mu Chenxi seize every moment to cultivate, Bai Yue couldn’t help but look at her with concern.

She could sense that the feeling of danger was putting a lot of pressure on Mu Chenxi.

She hoped everything would return to normal.

Bai Yue prayed silently.

Night fell, and the moon rose.

Inside the temporary Cave Abode, Mu Chenxi’s unease surfaced again, causing her to instinctively grip Bai Yue’s hand tighter.

Bai Yue was meditating with her eyes closed, feeling the pressure from Mu Chenxi’s grip.

She opened her eyes and looked at Mu Chenxi, finding her frowning deeply at Bai Yue.

“Chenxi, is that feeling back again?” Bai Yue asked softly.

“Yes, Master.”

Mu Chenxi nodded, lowering her gaze to their joined hands.

This time, the feeling was even stronger. Even holding her Master’s hand couldn’t dispel it, and she couldn’t calm her mind to cultivate.

“Is it getting worse?” Bai Yue asked worriedly.

“Yes…” Mu Chenxi nodded.

The unknown danger made both Master and Disciple extremely anxious at this moment, and the atmosphere grew heavy.

“It’s alright. Chenxi is so strong; we’ll be fine.”

Bai Yue placed her other hand gently on Mu Chenxi’s, soothing her emotions.

“Mm…”

Mu Chenxi nodded.

But the look on her pretty face remained tense, and the unease in her heart was hard to dispel.
