Lin Xian'er was startled by the look in Han Feng's eyes.
It was the first time she had seen Han Feng in such a state.
Desire, greed.
Han Feng pinned Lin Xian'er's hands down, a low "bestial" growl escaping his throat.
Lin Xian'er was stunned.
She seemed to understand, but also didn't. Why did Master become like this?
Although she had always hidden a secret in her heart, that she liked her master in various ways, even including forbidden feelings that violated ethics and common sense, she knew that her master would never agree to her.
Master's current state was clearly abnormal!
For a moment, Lin Xian'er was extremely conflicted. She didn't want her master to do something wrong because he would definitely blame himself after sobering up.
But another evil thought was born in Lin Xian'er's heart. Perhaps this was the moment she was most likely to satisfy her wish.
Lin Xian'er looked at Han Feng, whose eyes were red, with a complicated expression.
Actually, she didn't have a choice, did she?
Lin Xian'er closed her eyes, her heart settling on the latter option.
However, Han Feng didn't make the next move for a long time. His face was very painful, as if he was fighting against his instincts.
Lin Xian'er's heart began to thump wildly again.
Master won't stop doing it, will he?
Inexplicable emotions brewed in Lin Xian'er's mind. Those suppressed feelings from the past all erupted at this moment.
This is my only chance!
This was the only thought in Lin Xian'er's mind.
The next second, she summoned up her courage and kissed Han Feng.
The moment their lips touched, Han Feng's eyes instantly cleared. His soul source erupted with strong fluctuations, instantly suppressing all the evil fire spreading to his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
The barrier of the late stage of the Spirit Realm strangely dissipated, and Han Feng's soul power naturally reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm.
His perception became extremely clear at this moment, especially the touch on his lips, which made him freeze in place.
Lin Xian'er's delicate body trembled slightly. She knew that her master had woken up.
Will she... be expelled from the sect for what she is doing now?
Whatever!
If I die, I die!
Lin Xian'er steeled her heart and went a step further, sticking her tongue in.
Han Feng finally came back to his senses and quickly pushed Lin Xian'er away.
Lin Xian'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Han Feng.
"Xian'er..."
Han Feng swallowed, his tone losing its previous calmness and becoming a little flustered.
He actually... actually had such thoughts about his disciple!
Unforgivable, unforgivable...
"Just now I..."
Han Feng wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
Doing such a thing to his disciple, what is the difference between him and a beast!
The most hateful thing was that he didn't reject it at that time, and was even seduced step by step by Lin Xian'er's body and scent, fueling the evil fire.
Could it be that he was a beast who was moved by his disciple?
Although the cause of the birth of the evil fire was not yet clear, obviously no such signs had appeared when refining Heavenly Flames before.
But what happened, happened.
Han Feng blamed himself inwardly and sighed.
In the room, the two remained silent.
"Master, don't you blame me?"
Lin Xian'er spoke.
"Blame you?"
Han Feng was stunned.
"Why blame you? It's all Master's fault."
"But, but... I was the one who took the initiative to kiss Master!"
After saying this, Lin Xian'er blushed, fiery red.
Han Feng was silent.
He touched his lips and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Xian'er actually...
No, if she hadn't woken him up by doing so, who knows what more excessive things he would have done.
After all, in that state, Han Feng couldn't control himself.
That desire seemed to come from instinct, tempting him step by step into the abyss.
"Xian'er, in the final analysis, it's all Master's fault."
"Whether you want to beat me or punish me, Master will listen to you."
At this time, Han Feng showed the attitude of a "disciple," admitting his mistakes.
Lin Xian'er's heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again.
Master like this... I really want to...
No, no!
He will definitely be awkward again later!
Lin Xian'er actually understood her master very well. He was too traditional and too moral, and was very stubborn about such things.
"No need."
Lin Xian'er said seriously, "No matter what Master does, Xian'er will not blame Master."
Han Feng was both moved and guilty.
At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
Was it rejoicing?
The two did not make a big mistake.
Or regret?
This was the first time Han Feng had felt the touch from the opposite sex's body.
Han Feng shook his head vigorously, dispelling the evil thoughts in his heart.
"Xian'er, about today."
Lin Xian'er immediately raised her hand.
"I know, pretend it never happened, right?"
Han Feng's expression froze.
He sighed.
"One can deceive others, but how can one deceive oneself?"
"Forget it, Xian'er, in the future, you and I must take this as a warning and never do absurd things again."
Lin Xian'er felt a little lost and nodded.
She knew it...
Looking at Han Feng's slightly serious expression, Lin Xian'er actually felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, she kissed him just now, otherwise, she probably would never have gotten her wish in her lifetime.
Although the possibility of going further was slim, what if Master went crazy again next time?
Lin Xian'er looked forward to it immorally.
Han Feng sighed again.
In this kind of matter, no matter who took the initiative, the fault would always be his as the master.
Not teaching his disciple well was his dereliction of duty.
"Xian'er, did you succeed in breaking through?"
Lin Xian'er nodded.
"Mm."
"Let me see."
Han Feng checked Lin Xian'er's condition again. This time, he looked a little unnatural.
Putting two fingers on her wrist, Han Feng took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and examined with a frown.
At the Dantian, the Poison Pill had shattered, replaced by a small purple infant.
It looked quite like Lin Xian'er when she was young.
"Try summoning the Poison Spirit."
Lin Xian'er formed a seal with her hands, and the massive poison Dou Qi in her body began to circulate.
Boom!
With a shockwave, the poison Dou Qi behind Lin Xian'er quickly took shape. The Poison Spirit at the Dantian gradually awakened and finally moved out of Lin Xian'er's body.
"How does it feel?"
Lin Xian'er manipulated the Poison Spirit and found that it was incredibly light, but it could continuously absorb the poison gas in her body.
In this way, theoretically, even if Lin Xian'er's poison gas entered the backlash stage, as long as the poison gas was transferred to the Poison Spirit in time, she would not be affected by the backlash.
The only thing to worry about was whether this Poison Spirit would betray her.
"It feels very good. The Poison Spirit can store my poison gas to a greater extent, and can also perform Dou Skills unexpectedly under my control."
Lin Xian'er demonstrated.
She didn't move herself, but the Poison Spirit began to circulate the technique and perform a Dou Skill.
"Nine Yin Profound Scolding Hand"
In the air, a purple claw shadow flashed.
The power was not inferior to Lin Xian'er's own performance.
Han Feng nodded.
"If you let the Poison Spirit prepare in your body in advance, you can achieve instant casting of Earth Rank Dou Skills."
This was very advantageous in confronting enemies.
"This Poison Spirit must be maintained until the peak of Dou King. During this period, you must always pay attention to see what changes will happen to it."
Han Feng reminded.
"Got it."
Lin Xian'er controlled the Poison Spirit for a while longer, then took it back into her body.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Han Feng glanced at the endless sea, feeling some indescribable emotions in his heart.
"No rush to leave, let's relax."
"Oh."
Lin Xian'er stood beside Han Feng, looking at the sea with him.
"Master..."
"Xian'er..."
The two spoke in unison, coinciding perfectly.
Both Han Feng and Lin Xian'er felt their hearts tighten and fell silent involuntarily.
"Um... Master, are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat."
"Okay."
Lin Xian'er immediately ran away with her head down.
The awkward atmosphere finally eased. Han Feng looked at the undulating sea surface, actually having no appetite at all.
Han Feng, oh Han Feng, what exactly is wrong with you?
Why don't you dare to face Xian'er?
Are you afraid of something?
Or do you have ulterior motives!
Boom!
Like a thunderclap, the originally calm sea surface suddenly surged with a huge wave, just like Han Feng's heart at this moment.
He clenched his fists, wanting to use the Profound Meaning of the Fallen Heart Flame to calm himself down.
But, he hesitated.
He was afraid that after using the Brahma Heart Profound Meaning to completely calm his mind, the answer would remain unchanged.
Han Feng slowly released his hand, and the white fire in his eyes dissipated.
Master?
Master...
Master!
Master~
Scenes emerged in his mind, and Lin Xian'er's figure gradually occupied his entire heart.
The next second, Han Feng's hair suddenly turned white, and his whole person instantly entered the [Fallen Brahma Heart] Profound Meaning.
The sea breeze blew, lifting Han Feng's snow-white long hair.
A self-deprecating laugh blew towards the sea with this sea breeze.
...
"Master, time to eat."
Lin Xian'er came out and shouted.
"Coming."
Han Feng returned to his usual state and walked over.
"Quite sumptuous."
Lin Xian'er smiled lightly.
"Try it."
Han Feng picked up a chopstickful.
"Mm, tastes good."
He praised.
The two sat at the same table eating lunch, as if it were business as usual.
Lin Xian'er looked at Han Feng's surface and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was quite worried that Han Feng would become different from before after that incident.
Lin Xian'er didn't expect Han Feng to accept her forbidden love now, but she didn't want him to alienate her.
Being by his side like before was enough.
"Xian'er."
"Hmm?"
Han Feng's words made Lin Xian'er's heart, which had just settled, rise again.
"Have you ever thought about going out to venture on your own?"
Lin Xian'er asked anxiously, "Master, are you driving me away?"
Han Feng smiled lightly. "How could I? It's just that if you have this idea, you can make your own decision."
"Before, you hadn't broken through to Dou King and didn't have enough power to protect yourself, so I wouldn't let you go out. Now, you have the qualifications to travel the continent."
Lin Xian'er was silent.
Han Feng continued, "Back then, I also left your grandmaster to travel around the continent. At that time, I felt that only by venturing into the world alone would my years of hard cultivation not be in vain."
He sighed deeply.
"Roaming the martial world with a sword, drinking strong wine with passion. Thinking about it now, that was also an unforgettable memory."
"Before, I kept you by my side and might have been negligent in teaching you about matters between men and women, thus causing you to have some thoughts you shouldn't have."
Han Feng paused.
"This is Master's fault."
"You have grown up now and should choose your own life."
Lin Xian'er lowered her head, her expression unseen.
"Okay."
A moment later, she suddenly looked up and said, "Xian'er has indeed reached the age of independence and cannot always rely on Master."
Han Feng nodded with a gratified expression.
"It's good that you understand..."
"But!"
Lin Xian'er interrupted Han Feng and said seriously, "When Xian'er returns from her travels, Master can't drive Xian'er away again."
"When did I drive you away?"
Han Feng said helplessly.
"I was just talking to you normally."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Even without what happened this morning, would Master still say this to me?"
Han Feng's eyelids twitched, and he said with a straight face, "Of course."
"Liar!"
Lin Xian'er stood up.
"If you don't want to go out, that's naturally fine too."
Lin Xian'er sat back down, estimating in her heart that although she could continue to pester her master if she stayed for the next period of time, she definitely wouldn't be able to win him over.
Moreover, Master was obviously a little unnatural when facing her.
In that case, it would be better to leave and give him some time to relieve himself.
"Forget it, it's not bad to travel outside."
Lin Xian'er said.
"If you're not comfortable outside, you can come back anytime."
Han Feng said, "I let you go out just because you've grown up and need to learn to be independent. You can't stay by Master's side forever."
"Otherwise, you will never become a strong person."
Lin Xian'er nodded.
"I will arrange for a Dao protector to follow you, but you also have to pay attention to safety yourself and don't venture into danger easily."
Han Feng let the second Sky Demon Puppet follow Lin Xian'er, and also sent two Dou Ancestor puppets to be responsible for daily maintenance.
"Give me your hand."
Han Feng reinforced the mark of the Heaven Origin Finger on Lin Xian'er, and then placed a spatial anchor point on her storage ring.
Lin Xian'er let Han Feng do as he pleased, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.
Sure enough, those who boldly show love will get hurt.
Is this the punishment for kissing Master this morning?
She had secretly rejoiced before that everyone else had left and she was the only one who could legitimately stay by Master's side.
Alright, now it's all over.
"Master, are you in such a hurry to send me away?"
Lin Xian'er said faintly.
Han Feng coughed lightly.
"Isn't it better to prepare early?"
After doing all this, Han Feng put away the dinner plates and chopsticks and quickly washed them with the Sea Heart Flame.
While Han Feng was washing the dishes, Lin Xian'er went back to her room and packed her things.
She secretly savored the touch on Han Feng's lips, smiling from time to time.
The sadness of leaving soon faded in this reminiscence.
Being domineeringly pressed to the ground by Master, that unique aura still fascinated her.
Could it be the first time Master showed such an expression in front of a woman?
Lin Xian'er guessed.
After all, when sticking out his tongue, he was as clumsy as her.
What a pity. She was almost self-taught, but Master reacted too quickly and didn't leave her time to savor it carefully.
Lin Xian'er pursed her lips, sighed softly, and packed the last piece of luggage.
--
(Chapter 173 was indeed a bit rushed and not written smoothly enough.)
(The author's original intention was just to advance the relationship, but ended up using too much force...)
(Because I never intended to force anything, I didn't care about readers' previous comments. It's just that the last sentence of Chapter 173 was indeed somewhat biased, so I can understand. It was my poor wording, sorry.)
(As for the explanation of the evil fire, it is because in the original work, when Xiao Yan was refining the Fallen Heart Flame, he had an evil fire "transaction" with Medusa.)
(Later, when Xiao Yan refined the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, there was also a union of yin and yang.)
(So the setting here can be deduced slightly, it is the sequelae of merging Heavenly Flames.)
(In fact, from Xiao Yan refining multiple subsequent Heavenly Flames, such as the Bone Chilling Flame and the Sea Heart Flame, it can be seen that as long as there is no opposite sex around during refining, it can be endured.)
(Or maybe the birth of evil fire is probabilistic.)
(But I lean more towards the reason of yin and yang combination.)
(Because there was a member of the opposite sex around, the evil fire was born, otherwise nothing would have happened.)
(Here, Han Feng had just finished refining the Mysterious Yellow Flame and immediately helped Lin Xian'er advance. In the process, he was sprayed with a mouthful of blood by the other party and contaminated with yin energy, so he happened to trigger the sequelae of merging Heavenly Flames.)
(This was the first time Han Feng encountered this situation, so he didn't pay much attention at first. It wasn't until the evil fire invaded his whole body that he realized something was wrong.)
(He wanted to use pills to disperse it, but found that the "evil fire" would not actually harm him, but just pursued the body's instinct.)
(Medusa's soul problem was solved after the "transaction" with Xiao Yan.)
(Gu Xun'er's cultivation also greatly improved.)
(So this is actually beneficial to both parties.)
(However, I don't plan to take Lin Xian'er here.)
(As for readers who don't like this master-disciple CP, I'm also very sorry, because according to the outline setting, Lin Xian'er is inseparable from the beginning.)
(Of course, I will also proceed step by step, learn from this lesson, and try not to write too impulsively and lose control of my writing.)
(Actually, it was also because time was tight last night and I wanted to finish writing as soon as possible.)
([Also regarding the issue of Heaven Rank cultivation technique advancement, in the original work, there was a phenomenon of heaven and earth energy gathering within a hundred feet. I indeed didn't add it at the beginning here, but later when Han Feng actively circulated the technique, he still triggered this "phenomenon."])
