My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 7

After drinking that half cup of wine, her head still ached even now. An Chengxi soaked in the pool, her lower body transformed into a dragon tail. Her tail slapped against the surface of the water, splashing up flowers of water.

Her collarbones had turned red as she enjoyed the pool of hot water.

Her white dragon tail occasionally surfaced from beneath the water.

“Yi’er must have been frightened too much recently. That is why she has become somewhat more diligent.”

Looking at the lotus flowers on the screen, An Chengxi smiled lightly. Although she had an ice spiritual root, she did not dislike soaking in hot water.

“If she has truly made up her mind to cultivate seriously in the future, then that will be one less worry for me.”

For a dragon to reach adulthood, they had to undergo a complete transformation. An Chengxi could only focus her energy on this matter. This was also why, over the past hundred years, she had rarely taught disciples herself.

Aside from the female lead, she had never accepted a third inner disciple.

Of course, there was another reason. An Chengxi had always believed that the reason her master-disciple relationship with Xu Zhiyi later became stiff was because she had accepted He Fengyue as a disciple.

Xu Zhiyi rejected it in her heart, which was why she had become muddleheaded for a moment, caused a huge scene on Shuanghan Peak, and committed all sorts of mistakes.

“I wonder where Fengyue has gone by now, and whether she has completed her mission at the foot of the mountain.”

An Chengxi had originally wanted to send a voice transmission to ask, but then she felt that doing so would disturb He Fengyue’s mission. Forget it. She could ask when He Fengyue returned to the mountain and had time.

She closed her eyes to rest.

An Chengxi could feel the heart-protecting scale on her chest gradually taking shape.

But this was also drawing too much of her energy.

Recently, she had been far too exhausted. It seemed she needed to rest properly.

…

Xu Zhiyi sat at the table, thinking back to the few things Master had just said to her, and nodded thoughtfully.

Although Master had spoken very little—

Every sentence had been true, especially when she had pointed out Xu Zhiyi’s shortcomings. It seemed… this master was not as useless as the original novel had said.

That was definitely slander.

Just as she thought this, a knock sounded at the door. It startled Xu Zhiyi. Could it be that Master had come back again?

So she straightened her blue inner disciple robe, walked to the door, and pushed it open. She saw the little junior sister who had previously brought her into Tingyun Residence still standing outside.

She was holding some things in her hands.

“Senior Sister, this is your monthly allowance. Master instructed me to bring it to you.”

“Please keep it well.”

There was actually something this good?

Xu Zhiyi, who in the past had always paid tuition to go to school, was so moved she nearly cried. With an excited heart and trembling hands, she took the things the little junior sister was holding.

On the tray were several hundred green spirit stones. Just looking at them made one happy.

Spirit stones were the common currency of the cultivation world, so they were indispensable in daily life within the cultivation realm.

After putting away the spirit stones on the tray one by one, Xu Zhiyi looked at the few porcelain bottles filled with pills. These were the lowest-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

They had been mentioned in the original novel.

It seemed that when the disciples of the Alchemy Hall refined pills using the sect’s public resources, the pills would be distributed to the other disciples according to the monthly standard.

Only inner disciples received one bottle of decent-quality Qi Gathering Pills every month.

However, most inner disciples did not care about this thing at all. It was something they could take or leave. After all, if they wanted anything good, they only needed to act spoiled in front of their own master to get it.

There was also a flat box of ointment.

It was probably used to heal wounds. Xu Zhiyi brought everything to her table and looked at the bottle of low-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

She probably had no use for it. For someone at the late Foundation Establishment stage, eating this kind of low-grade pill would give almost no increase at all.

“Little Junior Sister, you can take this bottle.”

“I have no use for it anyway.”

To the little junior sister, those words sounded heavenly. Although it was useless to Senior Sister Xu, who was already at the late Foundation Establishment stage, to her, taking it could at least increase her cultivation by one year.

Seeing the stars in her junior sister’s eyes, Xu Zhiyi felt a little embarrassed.

“Thank you, Senior Sister. Junior Sister will never forget Senior Sister’s great kindness.”

Then, as if she had received a precious treasure, the little junior sister hugged the bottle of pills to her chest.

“Oh, right, Senior Sister. Master told Senior Sister to attend class tonight. She also specifically instructed that Senior Sister must not be late.”

Hm? Why was she only saying this now?

Why hadn’t she said it earlier?

Xu Zhiyi sensed that something was not quite right. As expected of a villainous background character, she must have done plenty of bad things on ordinary days. That was why even such an adorable little junior sister disliked her.

Perhaps because Xu Zhiyi had accidentally shown some goodwill today, the little junior sister had kindly reminded her.

After all, she had not even opened the medicine and had given it to the little junior sister right in front of her.

Xu Zhiyi felt a chill all over. No wonder the original owner was a background character who would not survive more than a few episodes. With such poor emotional intelligence, swaggering around in the sect like that—

Was she really not afraid of people secretly tripping her up?

It was just a pity she had not read the next few chapters. However… Xu Zhiyi could more or less guess what would happen. Now, she could only survive in this world by lying low.

Pah, pah, pah. How could she call that lying low?

This was called being wise and mighty.

She should still prepare for tonight’s class. After seeing the little junior sister out, Xu Zhiyi thought for a moment, then sat back in her original seat.

She picked up the brush.

Dipping it fully in ink, she unknowingly outlined the shape of a tail.

It was the white tail that had wrapped around her waist that morning, with white fur on it.

At the time, she had been somewhat afraid.

But now that she thought about it, it had actually been especially cute. It had felt a little smooth and slippery to the touch, but also very flexible.

Xu Zhiyi drew that tail completely. She still had some confidence when it came to drawing. After all, during one summer vacation when she had nothing to do, she had signed up for a crash course.

So she had at least some foundation in drawing.

Then she pulled out several illustrated books from her bedroom that were used to identify yao beasts and flipped through them one by one.

She compared them against the yao beasts drawn on the paper.

“Qilin… this does look a little similar, but Master’s seems longer?”

“Phoenix? Impossible, impossible.”

“Qiongqi… no, no, no. This is too ugly. It doesn’t look like it at all.”

Only when Xu Zhiyi flipped to the final few pages did she see a white dragon drawn there, soaring between heaven and earth, summoning wind and rain, swallowing clouds and exhaling mist.

“Dragon… this one, this one looks very similar.”

Although the dragon-shaped tail was somewhat larger, Xu Zhiyi had not been able to confirm it at first. But when she saw the section of tail behind the dragon, with white fur on it—

It was practically identical to the tail she had seen that morning. What white snake? It was clearly a dragon!

This feeling of having caught Master’s little secret was actually pretty nice. Xu Zhiyi continued flipping through the pages carefully. Written above was that the dragon race were auspicious beasts worshipped by the human world.

They only reached adulthood at eight hundred years old.

Dragons liked shiny things, especially gold, silver, jewels, and other naturally lustrous objects.

And there was one most important point.

Dragons were… lustful by nature?
