My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 5

She only felt that someone’s voice by her ear was noisy.

An Chengxi raised her misty, slightly dazed eyes and smiled faintly.

Her eyes were red, as though she was about to cry.

Xu Zhiyi froze, somewhat at a loss. Their fingers touched, and Master’s fingertips were far too cold.

Probably because she had an ice spiritual root.

Comforting herself this way in her heart, Xu Zhiyi carefully looked at An Chengxi again. Unexpectedly, her drunk master looked a little softer than before.

It was a feeling she could not quite describe.

She was clearly wearing the proper elder robes of the Yunling Sword Sect, yet she suddenly leaned close, pressing against Xu Zhiyi’s forehead and leaving her with nowhere to retreat.

Xu Zhiyi’s heart thumped wildly.

Their noses were almost touching. Her gaze fell on Master’s azure-blue robe, and a sudden sense of guilt rose in her heart.

This was her master.

“You have never been obedient… What, did you give Master this pot of wine to punish me… for punishing you?”

Even her tone was drunken.

An Chengxi stared at Xu Zhiyi’s brows and eyes, then lifted her fingertip and traced Xu Zhiyi’s elegant eyebrows. It seemed she had not looked at her like this in a very long time.

The older Xu Zhiyi grew, the farther she drifted from her. She had even told An Chengxi to her face that her heart already belonged to someone else.

After saying this, An Chengxi seemed to laugh at herself in resignation.

“You are my eldest disciple.”

“Did… Master spoil you too much?”

She loosened her fingers. An Chengxi swayed slightly, but she still had some awareness. She simply could not control the urge to say these words.

It had been too long.

Too long since she had properly spoken with her.

“A few days ago, you told me… you wanted to leave Shuanghan Peak. You meant it, didn’t you?”

“Master… permits it.”

In the original novel, it was precisely because An Chengxi had refused to let Xu Zhiyi leave Shuanghan Peak and meet that man she had never seen before that Xu Zhiyi had thrown a temper at her.

She had caused chaos throughout the entire Shuanghan Peak.

When An Chengxi said this, there was a faint disappointment in her voice, but she was also using the courage from the wine to speak what was truly in her heart.

The stagnant gloom in her heart seemed to ease, as though a burden had finally been lifted.

Xu Zhiyi was silent for a long while.

In her mind, she seriously considered the feasibility of either going down the mountain or staying in the Yunling Sword Sect.

She did not know when she would be able to return.

Over the past few days, Xu Zhiyi had called out “system” countless times in her mind, but had received no response at all. And so, tragically, she discovered something.

She was very likely one of those special cases.

She did not have a system.

In other words, whether she could go back was still unknown.

If she stayed in the sect, at least her cultivation would be guaranteed. In a cultivation world where the weak were prey to the strong, humans were not the only race. There were demons, yao, and all sorts of other beings.

In the setting of this novel, there were even ghosts.

So having some cultivation to protect herself was very important. Xu Zhiyi did not dare run around at the foot of the mountain on her own.

If some evil cultivator caught her, skinned her, and refined her into pills, that would truly be a terrible loss!

And so, after hesitating again and again, Xu Zhiyi had just been about to answer Master’s question.

But then Master suddenly hugged her, hooking an arm around her neck.

“But, Yi’er, do you know… Master liked it better when you understood nothing. Back then, you would cling to me and ask questions about everything.”

Her voice kept ringing beside Xu Zhiyi’s ear like a soft, rambling murmur. Xu Zhiyi was hugged until her whole body started to feel hot, even though An Chengxi was not warm at all and even carried a bit of cold air.

Feeling Master’s palm resting against her back, Xu Zhiyi, whose waist was somewhat sensitive, could not help trembling. But suddenly, something cold wrapped around her wrist.

It frightened her so badly that her whole body jolted.

Her lips trembled, and she could not speak. Xu Zhiyi moved her gaze downward and saw a white tail wrapped around her pale wrist.

The end of the tail was covered with soft white fur. The tail itself had scales, smooth and slippery, and a little cold.

Wh-What exactly was this?

Forcing down the panic in her heart, Xu Zhiyi carefully looked toward the place where the tail had emerged.

That tail had actually stretched out from beneath the back of Master’s long robe. Xu Zhiyi clenched her teeth, shocked beyond words.

This, this, this, this, this, this… Could it be that Master was a yao?

Ahhhhhhh, so what this vicious background supporting character had said was actually true!

The tail seemed completely unaware that it had been discovered by someone else. Instead, it kept using the white fur at its tip to brush against Xu Zhiyi’s wrist.

The numb, ticklish sensation spread from her wrist through her whole body. Xu Zhiyi was almost made weak in the knees by the tail coiling around her.

This was simply too dangerous!

“Master… Master, if you are drunk, this disciple will help you go rest.”

Xu Zhiyi did not dare move. She could only soften her voice and gently coax the master in her arms. She held An Chengxi and staggered toward her own bed, carefully laying her down on it.

“Please forgive this disciple’s disrespect.”

At this moment, An Chengxi’s eyes were closed, and she made no movement. Only that tail of hers remained wrapped around Xu Zhiyi.

And not only around her wrist.

This time, it slowly shifted and instead coiled around her waist. The long, slender tail wrapped tighter and tighter.

Xu Zhiyi did not even have time to straighten her back and suck in her stomach.

Looking at An Chengxi sleeping with her eyes closed, Xu Zhiyi once again sighed. That so-called Qiongxian Jade Brew was as effective as knockout powder.

It seemed she could carry some with her next time. If she encountered an enemy, she could simply splash it straight into their face.

Then she could immediately perform the art of escaping underground.

“Master… Master?”

Xu Zhiyi called twice. Seeing that An Chengxi had no reaction at all, she could not help frowning. Her fingers had no choice but to feel around for the slippery tail around her waist.

She grabbed the white fur at the tip of the tail and pulled it back bit by bit, trying to remove Master’s tail.

As a seasoned novel reader who had read countless stories, Xu Zhiyi was not the least bit surprised that every supporting character in a book could have countless hidden identities.

Besides… the original owner she had transmigrated into had been about to accuse her master of being a snake yao.

Looking at it now… this was definitely not a snake’s tail.

This thin, long tail looked more like—

Xu Zhiyi pinched the white tail with her fingertips. The scales on it appeared before her eyes.

This looked more like… a dragon’s tail?

But there were no horns on Master’s forehead. Could she have guessed wrong?

Xu Zhiyi could not be one hundred percent certain.

She shook her head, denying the thought in her heart. If Master really was a dragon, then the original novel had written that dragons gave birth to nine sons and were lustful by nature.

If that were the case, inside this kind of pure-cultivation sect…

Wouldn’t she be suffocated to death from holding it in?

Just thinking about it was depressing enough.

Xu Zhiyi moved cautiously, but after she had only pulled out a small section, a sudden force from the tail yanked her whole body forward. Her hands landed on the bed for support.

She was only a little bit away from kissing Master’s jaw.
