Chapter 297: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (45)

Shen Mubai: “…this…this doesn’t seem quite right.”

And why not ask for her consent, huh?

Yun Niang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, “You’ll stay here tonight to take care of the sect master. If you think I’m lying, you’ll know tomorrow.”

Shen Mubai felt there was more to her words but tactfully refrained from asking further, simply asking, “Is the sect master alright?”

Yun Niang smiled faintly, stood up, and said, “He’s fine. I’m actually grateful to those fools who thought they were clever for bringing that rare Wutan Gu, which has not been seen for a hundred years. or we wouldn’t have advanced the timeline like this.”

After saying this, she opened the door and left.

Shen Mubai was still trying to grasp the meaning behind her words.

Failing to come up with anything, she decided to give up, saying, “Forget it.”

Glancing at Jun Jiuling with his eyes closed tightly, thinking about the people guarding outside, Shen Mubai’s tense nerves finally relaxed, and she fell asleep, supporting her head.

When she woke up in the morning, Shen Mubai found herself nestled in the other person’s arms. The drowsiness in her mind instantly dissipated by half. Just then, a slightly hoarse, lazy voice came from above: “Awake?”

Shen Mubai raised her head, and the extremely handsome face of Jun Jiuling loomed large in her pupils. She instinctively tried to move away, but before she knew it, his large hand reached out, pulling her back into the embrace.

“master?” She felt something was off and tentatively called out.

But Jun Jiuling, after pulling her into his embrace, didn’t move a muscle. “Sleep a little longer.”

The man’s scent filled her nostrils, and Shen Mubai tried to move but was stopped by his large palm.

“Be obedient.”

The previously cold voice now carried a hint of softness mixed with hoarseness, making Shen Mubai feel like she had stepped into a fantasy world.

But when she thought of Jun Jiuling’s morning temper, she obediently closed her eyes again.

When she woke up again, the sunlight outside had already reached the table, and the sound of knocking on the door, accompanied by Yun Niang’s soft voice, echoed, “Master, it’s time to wake up. It’s already three-quarters past noon.”

Shen Mubai realized it was already this late and felt a bit hungry.

Just then, the hands tightly embracing her moved slightly, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded beside her, “How many hours have passed?”

Shen Mubai replied, “It’s already three-quarters past noon, Master.”

She felt Jun Jiuling’s hand pause for a moment, feeling a bit anxious and wondering if he was going to shove her off the bed again.

A strand of black hair brushed against Shen Mubai’s cheek as Jun Jiuling lowered his head slightly. His narrow eyes revealed no emotion as he lightly brushed his thin lips against her fair cheek, then, in a tone as light as the wind, he said to the outside, “Bring water.”

Shen Mubai’s body stiffened. She blinked, her mind in chaos, and finally calmed herself down, thinking that Jun Jiuling must have done it accidentally.

“Still want to sleep?” His gaze fell on her face, profound like the night.

Shen Mubai trembled under his gaze and quickly got out of bed, saying, “I’ll attend to the master.”

A low laugh filled the air, carrying a seductive undertone different from his usual cold laughter. It was the first time Shen Mubai had seen Jun Jiuling laugh like this, and she couldn’t help but be stunned.

That devilishly handsome face now showed an incredibly enchanting side; his sharp eyebrows softened with a hint of tenderness, and those narrow eyes stared at Shen Mubai without blinking.
