"..."

Lin Chuan sighed softly in his heart, raised his hand to brush the hair beside Qiu's ear to the side, and said softly: "When you were collecting the natural factor, I..."

Just as he started to speak, Qiu shook his head slightly and asked, "Sir, are you satisfied with my performance just now?"

"..."

Lin Chuan stared at Qiu in a daze. After a moment, he smiled softly, his tone filled with genuine approval: "Not only satisfied, it can even be said to be a pleasant surprise."

"As long as I haven't disappointed you..."

Qiu lowered her head again, resting her cheek against Lin Chuan's chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat.

However, not long after, she seemed to have thought of something, her body stiffened slightly, and her voice was a little uneasy: "Sir, actually... when I fight the enemy... I'm not like this. You saw it when I was with the demon tribe..."

Hearing this, Lin Chuan just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and did not respond.

"It's over, Master, do you dislike me..."

"How could I be so stupid? I didn't think carefully about all the things that were wrong, but I lost my mind when I saw a young master's robe..."

The more Qiu thought about it, the more blocked his heart became. The regrets quietly surged up again, and finally he raised his head again.

"Sir, I promise I will never again..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Lin Chuan lower his head and move closer.

……

At this moment, Qiu felt as if time had stopped, everything around him had lost its sound, and his mind was blank.

After a long time, the two slowly separated.

"Is Qiu afraid of pain?"

Lin Chuan looked at her blushing cheeks and gently brushed the corner of her lips with his fingertips.

"what?"

Qiu was slightly stunned, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. When he reacted, the blush on his cheeks instantly spread to his ears. His voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a bit of helplessness: "Is it...here?"

"..."

Lin Chuan was also stunned, obviously not expecting her to respond like this. But in an instant, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "Is it not possible?"

"No...no!"

Qiu hurriedly shook his head, his ears red as if they were about to bleed, and explained in a panicked voice: "It's just that the environment here is simple... I'm worried that it will ruin the young master's mood."

"What should I do?"

Lin Chuan's fingertips gently roamed across Qiu's hot cheeks, and the smile in his voice became more and more obvious.

"..."

Qiu pursed his lips, and after a long while he stammered, "How about I use the previous method first, and then after I get out, I'll..."

Before she could finish her words, she buried her face in Lin Chuan's arms out of shame, her voice muffled between the fabric, as thin as a thread.

"What if I don't want to?"

Lin Chuan's fingertips gently wrapped around a strand of her black hair that fell on her shoulder, and his tone was a bit deliberately difficult.

"I...I will help you undress."

Qiu took a deep breath and was about to stand up by supporting Lin Chuan's chest, but Lin Chuan's arm tightened around him and held him tightly in his arms, making him unable to move at all.

"Master... Young Master?"

Qiu raised her eyes doubtfully and met Lin Chuan's smiling eyes, which made her already flustered mood even more confused.

"Your original talent is not bad. I plan to help you rebuild your foundation. It will be painful." Lin Chuan said softly.

"..."

Qiu was stunned for a moment, and the shyness in his eyes faded away. He was silent for a while, then he pursed his lips gently, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir."

However, what responded to her was a crisp slap.

"Well……"

Qiu was caught off guard and let out a light cry. He subconsciously glanced at Lin Chuan, and seeing a hint of seriousness between his brows, he quickly lowered his head.

"Do you know why I punished Qiu?" Lin Chuan gently rubbed the place where the slap had just landed.

"I...I know." Qiu nodded gently and said in a low voice.

"Knowing one's mistake and still making it is a more serious crime." As he said this, Lin Chuan raised his hand again.

Qiu's eyelashes trembled, and she immediately closed her eyes. Her petite body tensed slightly, waiting for the familiar touch to fall.

However, the imagined pain did not come. A trace of doubt arose in her heart. She carefully opened one eye, but saw Lin Chuan looking at her with a smile, and his raised hand had already been retracted.

"If you say that kind of thing again between you and me, I'll be really angry."

Lin Chuan gently scratched the tip of her nose with his finger. His tone was deliberately serious, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes. "I'm helping you. It's not a trouble. I'm helping you willingly."

"..."

Qiu stared at Lin Chuan for a long time before she softly replied, "No more."

Lin Chuan looked at Qiu in surprise and swallowed back the words he wanted to continue persuading him.

As if knowing what Lin Chuan was thinking, Qiu explained softly, "Now the way you look at me is almost the same as the way you look at my sisters. Since you truly regard me as your Taoist partner, I should naturally accept your kindness to me, and I will do my best to be good to you."

"That's good."

Lin Chuan nodded with satisfaction, then slowly stood up and let go of Qiu in his arms.

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Qiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just reached out and straightened Lin Chuan's clothes.

"Is Qiu afraid of pain?" Lin Chuan asked again.

"Not afraid."

Qiu shook his head, his voice was soft but contained an unquestionable firmness.

"Then take this first, but don't refine it actively."

As Lin Chuan spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage space and handed it over.

"..."

Qiu instinctively hesitated for a moment, but finally lowered his eyes and took it.

There was a layer of restriction on the small porcelain bottle, but it still couldn't stop the clear fragrance of the elixir from seeping out.
