Chapter 19's plot still revolves around romance.
Chu Ning collapsed into the pool, panting heavily.
Her face was rosy, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused. Steam rose from the pool around her, obscuring her perfect figure.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, she has diligently followed her teacher's teachings and has never slacked off for a single day.
Today was the first time she had neglected her cultivation. She sat quietly in the pool, her mind filled with that cold and perfect face.
After his desires were satisfied, Chu Ning finally realized his almost perverse possessiveness.
She didn't understand anything about love between men and women, and no one had ever taught her that since she was a child.
But Chu Ning knew that if she, as the Queen of Chu, were to recruit someone into the harem, she would prefer that person to be her teacher.
She has even started fantasizing about having a child with her teacher.
This child will inherit his teacher's talent and will surely surpass her, becoming an even more outstanding King of Chu.
These fantasies were sweet, but they also filled Chu Ning with a sense of dread.
They were clearly teacher and student, but all she could think about were these kinds of things... She was always thinking about unconventional and heretical things.
If the teacher knew, she might find her disgusting.
"Cheng Xiao... Cheng Xiao..." Chu Ning murmured the name.
This was the first time she had ever addressed her teacher by his full name.
It was as if shouting like that could relieve the bitterness in their hearts.
"I'm a madman..."
Chu Ning buried her face in her hands, letting out a breath that sounded like a mix of crying and laughing.
How dare she?
That was the supreme deity who pulled her out of the mire!
This filth stained with the blood of countless people dares to attempt to defile the inviolable white moonlight?
However, once this thought arose, it was like a wildfire that completely ignited her heart.
Water splashed everywhere, and Chu Ning suddenly stood up from the bath.
Water droplets slid down her graceful body, and her dark eyes were filled with a frenzied possessiveness.
"The teacher is mine, and can only be mine."
She didn't care whether someone was crazy or unconventional.
She just wanted to be with her teacher.
We will never be apart, for all eternity.
......
Cheng Xiao looked at the sudden increase in favorability rating and was both amused and exasperated.
He was clearly on the path of cultivating an empress, so how did he end up going back to the romance route?
He had witnessed everything that had just happened on Chu Ning's side.
"What a cruel twist of fate."
Cheng Xiao shook his head, picked up the tea that had already cooled down on the table, and took a small sip.
He recalled that five years ago, this abruptly appearing electronic screen told him that it was a galgame interface called "Heartbeat Tales of the Myriad Worlds," allowing him to experience the feeling of love and being moved.
But he was a cultivator of the Path of Ruthlessness, who had long since severed all emotions and desires. How could he have any interest in playing some fairy conquest system?
So over the past five years, he has turned a love story of "Winter Love Song in Falling Star Valley" into a battle for supremacy story of "Raising a Shura Empress".
He taught her how to kill, how to be a ruler, how to fill the throne with the corpses of all the officials, and now he wants to take her to conquer six kingdoms.
Cheng Xiao believed he had turned Chu Ning into a perfect weapon that only knew how to kill.
But who could have imagined that Chu Ning, now experiencing the first stirrings of love due to the pressure from court officials to get married, would actually develop feelings for him that resembled "love".
In the end, they returned to the path of dating.
If it were any other righteous cultivator, they would probably be furious and even want to expel their disciple from the sect if they saw him harboring such rebellious and taboo thoughts.
After all, in the world of cultivation, a master-disciple relationship is taboo.
However, Cheng Xiao didn't feel anything special; he just thought it was an unexpected surprise.
He was worried about how to fill the last bit of stagnant goodwill.
The original "desperate faith" was solid, but it ultimately lacked the fiery passion that could drive someone to utter madness.
But now it's different.
Faith is the surrender of reason, while desire is the most potent poison in the world that can destroy reason.
Chu Ning now wants more than just divine protection; she wants to pull him down from his pedestal and lock him firmly beside her throne.
The higher you stand, the harder you fall.
The deeper the love, the more intense the pain.
Cheng Xiao then wanted Chu Ning to sever his emotional ties when he was at the height of his love, and to prove his Dao through killing.
......
The day of departure is drawing ever closer.
The pleas urging Chu Ning to expand his harem are still being drafted.
Seeing that the king was merely impatient and had not punished them, they became even more unscrupulous.
The ministers at the beginning were genuinely concerned for the stability of the country, but most of the later ones just wanted to put their own children into the harem in exchange for their own career advancement.
Some even secretly speculated that the king might have a fondness for women, and there were even people who wanted to send their daughters into the palace.
Chu Ning was patient and tireless.
In the end, she could only find a random child from the imperial clan to shut up the people in the court.
The child is related to her by blood.
When they first met, the child was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak and just kept trembling.
She does resemble her somewhat when she was a child.
Chu Ning did not really intend to make this child the crown prince; he was merely trying to silence public opinion.
Since that night, she had made up her mind that the future crown prince of the Great Chu could only be her child with her teacher.
Although Chu Ning was aware of her feelings, she didn't know how to act on them or how to make her teacher understand her intentions.
Now she finally understands what it means to be "all alone".
She has no one to talk to.
Over the past six years, her teacher has taught her many things, but he just couldn't teach her how to win a man's heart.
Chu Ning knew that she was now the King of Chu. As the King of Chu, no one would say anything if she wanted something, even if she had to take it by force.
But she also understood that she couldn't treat her teacher like that.
The teacher is so proud; what she did would only break the teacher's heart.
Chu Ning could only cautiously probe in his own way.
Since she ascended the throne, she has always worn royal attire.
Now she has her servants make her a long dress.
Five years of bloody life made people almost forget that she was in the prime of her life, and even more so that when she was only thirteen years old, she was called the most beautiful princess in the history of the Chu Kingdom.
The moon-white long dress outlined her almost perfect, slender figure, as white as frost and as white as snow, pure and untouched by any dust.
She wore no makeup, yet her skin had a warm, jade-like luster.
Her silky black hair was simply held up with a plain hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell down her snow-white neck, making her look even more gentle and charming.
A woman should look good to those who please her.
After changing her clothes, she appeared in the military cabinet as usual.
When she pushed open the door to the Grand Council, her white figure instantly brightened the dimly lit hall.
Cheng Xiao sat behind his desk as usual, wearing a thin white fox fur cloak, reviewing the last few military reports before the army's departure.
He pretended not to care, but he found it somewhat amusing.
This little apprentice is becoming increasingly easy to understand.
"Teacher, take a break."
Chu Ning walked forward quietly and placed the ginseng soup on the table.
Instead of retreating to her usual spot, she naturally moved around to Cheng Xiao's side.
This was the boldest test she could muster.
