As he spoke the final words, Chu Ge leaned forward slightly, locking his gaze directly onto Shui Qianrou's eyes.
At this moment, Shui Qianrou had completely forgotten that she was the senior.
Faced with Chu Ge's serious words that carried a faintly commanding tone, her heart jolted. Then, she actually nodded in an unusually obedient manner.
There was not the slightest trace of the dignity befitting a mighty elder or a martial aunt. Instead, she looked like a meek, well-behaved little wife.
Chu Ge nodded in satisfaction, then revealed a slightly frivolous smile.
"Also, compared to having Martial Aunt refine pills for me, what this nephew wants even more is…"
"Martial Aunt—you yourself…"
Shui Qianrou's expression froze violently, her mind instantly going blank.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Chu Ge's face.
This was exactly the effect he wanted—to burst into Shui Qianrou's heart in an unstoppable manner and leave behind an indelible mark.
Although they had only just met and, constrained by time, could not go any further for now…
as time accumulated, his figure would only become more and more deeply engraved in Shui Qianrou's heart.
Most importantly, Shui Qianrou felt no rejection toward him at all. That alone was the fundamental reason Chu Ge chose to take the initiative.
With a martial aunt who was breathtakingly beautiful, possessed profound cultivation, immense wealth, and masterful alchemy skills, Chu Ge had no reason to let her slip by.
After Chu Ge left, Shui Qianrou instantly came back to her senses from that stunned state.
It wasn't that she had truly been shocked into silence by his words for that long—she was simply too embarrassed.
At a complete loss as to how to respond, she had chosen to feign ignorance.
Even now, after Chu Ge had already left, her cheeks were still flushed deep red, as though she were drunk.
That single sentence—"what I want is you"—still echoed in her heart, making her feel restless with shame, yet unable to stop a trace of joy from rising within her.
She knew that those words, and the figure branded into her mind, would be difficult to erase for a very long time to come.
"What a wicked boy—to actually dare to set his sights on even his own martial aunt!"
Letting out a shy, indignant mutter, Shui Qianrou patted her still-burning cheeks and walked out of the room.
Who would have thought that she had barely gone far before she saw Chu Ge conversing with her two disciples.
Both disciples had smiles on their faces—it was clear the three of them were chatting quite happily.
This inevitably made a hint of sourness rise in Shui Qianrou's heart.
'This brat—he just said such words to me, and now he's already turning his attention to my two disciples. He truly is a complete flirt!'
In the distance, Chu Ge looked at the two junior sisters before him—whose appearances were ninety percent alike, yet whose temperaments and personalities were entirely different—and a gentle, spring-breeze-like smile appeared on his face.
"If the two junior sisters encounter any problems in cultivation later on, you may also come to me."
"I came in a hurry today and didn't prepare anything in advance. This little item will serve as a meeting gift for the two junior sisters."
As he spoke, Chu Ge took out a pair of yin-yang fish from his storage space.
They were exquisite and petite, with restrained, contained radiance.
This was an item Chu Ge had obtained as a sign-in reward back when he had yet to enter the Taihuang Holy Land and was still in his beginner phase.
As for its function, he hadn't known at first. Only later did he learn that it was a heaven-and-earth spiritual object used at the Second Heaven realm to temper spiritual seeds!
Moreover, this item was by no means ordinary—it was a rare treasure capable of forging aberrant spiritual seeds.
However, although it was rare, the spiritual seed Chu Ge had forged was countless times stronger than even an aberrant spiritual seed. What's more, he was now already at the Third Heaven Aperture-Opening Realm, so this item was of no use to him anymore.
It was only because he saw that the two sisters were currently at the Second Heaven realm that he remembered he still had such a rare treasure on hand.
The two sisters had clearly not expected Chu Ge to make such a move, and for a moment, both of them were left somewhat flustered and at a loss.
