Leveling Up by Kissing My Disciple - chapter 7

Mu Chenxi spoke with perfect candor, not a trace of shyness in her manner.

Bai Yue opened her mouth, feeling somewhat embarrassed and inexplicably flustered.

Weren’t they just kissing on the cheek? Was there really some special method to it?

But she barely understood Mu Chenxi’s strange cultivation technique to begin with, so she couldn’t argue much. All she could do was nod with a flushed face.

“Alright, let’s do it the same way as last time.”

As she spoke, Bai Yue raised her hand, gently cupping Mu Chenxi’s cheeks just as before. Her palm pressed against the girl’s warm skin, and she leaned in to plant a kiss on her cheek.

Mu Chenxi immediately picked up her sword to practice again, but this time, the effect was still not as good as the first.

She sheathed her sword, her brows furrowing even tighter. “Why is it that, though it’s the same as before, the effect is so much worse? Could it be because it was the first time?”

She began to analyze to herself, “Could it be like taking a pill, where the first time is most effective, and afterwards resistance develops…”

Every word drifted into Bai Yue’s ears, and she instantly froze, mouth agape.

What on earth was going on in her Disciple’s little head?

Resistance? What kind of nonsense was that? A kiss from her was equivalent to a pill!? And now there was kiss resistance? What kind of absurd logic was this…

“Stop, stop, stop! What kind of ridiculous ideas are these…”

Bai Yue hurriedly interrupted Mu Chenxi’s “magical analysis,” her temples throbbing, feeling a headache coming on.

Her train of thought interrupted, Mu Chenxi wasn’t annoyed. She simply cast a probing look at Bai Yue. “Does Master have any insights?”

Bai Yue was instantly stumped by the question.

She was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage-how could she advise a Disciple at the Core Formation Stage? That was truly overestimating her. Besides, she didn’t understand Sword Dao at all, so what insights could she possibly offer?

“I… I don’t really have any insights. In the end, you’ll have to figure this out yourself.”

Bai Yue gave a couple of awkward laughs, feeling utterly embarrassed, and decided not to say anything more.

Resistance, then resistance-kissing the cheek a few more times wouldn’t hurt, as long as Mu Chenxi didn’t go astray in her sword practice.

But just as Bai Yue was thinking this, Mu Chenxi’s gaze fell upon her lips, a sudden gleam lighting up her eyes, as if she’d come up with a new idea.

“Master, why don’t we try another method?”

Mu Chenxi’s voice was soft, but her eyes were fixed firmly on Bai Yue’s lips.

“Another method? What kind of method?”

Bai Yue looked puzzled, not yet understanding.

“That is… Master doesn’t need to kiss your Disciple’s cheek. You can just kiss me directly.”

Mu Chenxi stated her novel idea with complete seriousness.

Upon hearing this, and seeing Mu Chenxi staring intently at her lips, Bai Yue’s face instantly grew hot.

“No! Absolutely not!”

She shook her head like a rattle drum.

“Why not?”

Mu Chenxi was never one to give up easily, and pressed on.

“This… this is Master’s first kiss. It must be saved for my future Dao Companion.”

Bai Yue explained helplessly.

She truly suspected her Disciple was trying to take advantage of her, but looking at Mu Chenxi’s utterly earnest expression, as if discussing the path of cultivation itself, there was not a hint of jest.

Headache, truly a headache-this precious Disciple really knew how to make things difficult for her…

“Then your Disciple will be Master’s future Dao Companion.”

Mu Chenxi blurted out without a second thought, her tone as natural as if she were saying “I want to cultivate.”

“Stop talking nonsense! Are you just trying to tease your Master?”

Bai Yue’s cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes shooting Mu Chenxi a glare.

How did Mu Chenxi manage to tease her with such a straight face?

Yet looking at her completely serious demeanor, it didn’t seem like she was joking at all.

Clearly, for the sake of cultivating Sword Dao, she had tossed aside all notions of romance and the propriety between Master and Disciple.
“In short, it’s simply not possible. As your Master, I do not wish for you to become my Dao Companion.”

“Moreover… are you aware that in my previous life, I was a man?”

Bai Yue, thinking quickly in desperation to protect her first kiss, revealed this major secret.

“I have long known, Master.” Mu Chenxi showed not the slightest hint of surprise.

Bai Yue looked at her in shock and doubt. “How did you know about this!?”

“It was calculated by the Senior Divine Calculator,” Mu Chenxi answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue’s heart trembled slightly.

This Divine Calculator truly was extraordinary, having uncovered all her secrets.

However, mentioning the Divine Calculator piqued her curiosity, and to change the subject, she asked, “Then, does the Senior Divine Calculator know how I came to this place?”

“Master was struck by a bolt of Lightning and arrived here. The specific circumstances could not be calculated by the Senior Divine Calculator,” Mu Chenxi replied.

“What exactly was that Lightning?” Bai Yue couldn’t help but press further.

“I do not know. The Senior Divine Calculator said this matter cannot be deduced.”

“What else did the Senior Divine Calculator calculate?”

“The Senior Divine Calculator also deduced that the place Master previously resided is called Blue Star. There are no cultivators there, nor any Spiritual Qi; the entire world is filled with mortals, and Master’s previous life was one of them, living in poverty.”

“That’s not important…”

Bai Yue’s mouth twitched; she was currently quite penniless herself.

“And then?”

Mu Chenxi continued, “After that, the Senior Divine Calculator began to lose clarity of mind. He kept calculating, muttering about automobiles, trains, ships, airplanes, as well as industry, agriculture, heavy industry, and biology, cells, bacteria, fungi, chemistry, physics, mathematics…”

Bai Yue listened with her mouth agape, only then realizing she had underestimated the Divine Calculator.

He wasn’t just digging up her secrets-he was exposing all the secrets of Blue Star!

“And then?” Bai Yue pressed on relentlessly.

“After that, the Senior Divine Calculator suddenly began bleeding from his seven orifices, appearing deranged, unable to heed anyone’s advice, still frantically calculating, shouting, ‘Marvelous! Marvelous!’…”

At this point, Mu Chenxi’s tone paused, a look of regret flashing in her eyes.

“The Senior Divine Calculator calculated with increasing madness, his mutterings growing more chaotic-sometimes about human technology, Three-Body Civilization, the Dark Forest Law; sometimes about mathematical olympiads, the origin of the universe, the Big Bang; and in the end, he kept repeating ‘atom’, ‘quantum’, ‘quantum’, ‘quantum’…”

“‘When in doubt, quantum mechanics! Quantum mechanics!’ ‘I’ve attained enlightenment! I’ve attained enlightenment! I’ve attained enlightenment!'”

“The deranged Divine Calculator actually achieved enlightenment and broke through on the spot, even attracting a terrifying Thunder Tribulation.”

“But before the Thunder Tribulation could descend, the Senior Divine Calculator’s Spiritual Sense gradually dissipated, and his Physical Body exploded into a mist of blood at that very moment…”

After finishing, Mu Chenxi let out a faint sigh.

Bai Yue was shaken to her core, so stunned she couldn’t speak, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

After a long while, Bai Yue finally recovered.

“Master, let’s not talk about the Senior Divine Calculator anymore. Let’s return to the matter of kissing me.”

Mu Chenxi truly hadn’t given up, steering the topic right back to the beginning.

Bai Yue had intended to use the Divine Calculator as a distraction, but no matter how she tried to change the subject, Mu Chenxi stubbornly clung to the original issue, leaving Bai Yue with a headache.

Her Disciple’s persistence truly left her at a loss.

But to have Bai Yue kiss a Disciple she had only just met, and to give away her first kiss at that-it was simply impossible.

“Give your Master some time to mentally prepare,” Bai Yue finally didn’t refuse outright, opting instead for a delaying tactic.
