Sorry but I only accept female disciples!

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly and crouched down caressing her cheek "Seems like you have conquered your past."

Feeling his soft fingers grazing her cheek, Ming Yuelin let out a soft sigh "As I thought, you came for me Master..."

With a chuckle, Zhang Yuan uttered "Do you think restrictions imposed by some Sovereign can stop me from seeing my disciple."

"Haha..." Ming Yuelin giggled upon hearing this "I never doubted you, Master."

Zhang Yuan delicately pinched her cheek and grasped her hand; helping her to stand up.

As she stood up, she felt that the pain in her throat had disappeared and frowned "Master, I saw my father just now and... he tried to kill me."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod "This Misty forest tests your mental strength by showing you your deepest fears..."

Huh? Ming Yuelin glanced around at the mist surrounding the forest and mumbled "So, it\'s all an illusion?"

Zhang Yuan patted her head and nodded "Yeah, it\'s just an illusion."

Ming Yuelin\'s eyes softened and she hugged him "So, Master... you came to save me?"

Embracing her in his arms, Zhang Yuan let out a soft chuckle "No, you saved yourself by facing your past... I just came to guide you from here on."

Ming Yuelin pulled back from the hug and grasped his arm "Then guide me, Master..."

"Yeah, let\'s get out of this forest first."

...

Ming Yuelin and Zhang Yuan were walking through the misty forest and Ming Yuelin squinted her eyes "Master, we have been walking for a while and the mist doesn\'t seem to settle."

"Why can\'t we just fly and get out of here?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head with a smile "That, we can\'t do. This is your trial, so you have to go through everything."

"As I said, I am here to guide you; not to help you with the trials."

Ming Yuelin pouted her lips "Stingy... well, since Master is here, everything is going to be okay, haha..." she said hugging his arm tighter.

As they continued their walk, suddenly they heard thunder rumbling in the sky and Ming Yuelin raised her head to look at the sky.

However, because of the dense mist in the forest, she couldn\'t see the sky clearly.

"Is it going to rain?"

As her words fell, *thriisshhh* Heavy rain pour started, instantly wetting them and both of them stood there dumbfounded.

"M-Master..."

Zhang Yuan sighed as he combed the wet hair from his face "I am just a guide, don\'t expect help from me."

（>﹏<）"Masterrrr! Then let\'s run, let\'s see if we can find a cave or something.. because it is raining heavily and we can\'t travel"

"Hahaha..."

Both of them hastily ran from there and they soon found a cave "Master, let\'s go in."

"Haah..." Ming Yuelin took deep breaths; her chest rising up and down and glanced at Zhang Yuan who was wholly drenched in rain.

Zhang Yuan loosened his robe and sat on one of the rocks inside the dark cave as water droplets dribbled from his body.

Ming Yuelin walked closer to him "Master let me use my flame to warm you."

Zhang Yuan shook his head "Lin\'er... humans are not the only ones to take refuge in a cave from rain."

*grrr* Hearing a low grunt, Ming Yuelin hurriedly turned her head to look into the cave and saw a pair of deep red eyes peering at her.

E-Eh? Startled, she hurriedly took the bow from her space ring and pulled the string as she infused her flame into the arrow.

*woosh* She shot the arrow at the beast and *boom* the arrow struck the beast\'s head and was blasted, killing the beast instantly.

Letting out a sigh, she used her profound sense and mumbled "There are no other beasts in the cave."

She retracted the bow back in her space ring and looked around searching for any dry wood.

Within 5 minutes, she collected some dry branches and grouped them together.

Then she used her Yin flame to light them up and the warmth of the heat hit their bodies.

Zhang Yuan smiled softly and sat beside the fire.

"Master... we can\'t always be here. How long has it been since I entered."

"It\'s been only 2 hours, you still have six hours more."

Ming Yuelin let out a sigh and sat beside him on the fire "That\'s a relief. When the rain stops, we can go out."

Zhang Yuan removed the upper part of the robe revealing his rigid abs and chest.

Ming Yuelin was quite flustered and looked at him in the corner of her eyes, her gaze fixated on his body.

With deliberate movements, she also removed the upper part of the robe and the fabric slipped past her shoulder revealing her tantalizing skin.

She was wearing white underwear that covered her moderate chest but her shoulders and abdomen were left unclothed for Zhang Yuan to watch.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and saw her smooth skin shining under the dim light of the fire.

Feeling his gaze, Ming Yuelin\'s cheeks turned deep red and she turned her attention to the fire.

The sound of the falling rain and the burning noise of the wood filled the cave as both of them sat there silently.

The tension in the air was palpable as both of them sneaked glances at each other.

Ming Yuelin gripped her fingers nervously and her heartbeat raised so much that she could hear her own heartbeat.

A pleasant and hot atmosphere enveloped them as they sat there letting the warmth of the flame caress them.

"Lin\'er..."

Suddenly Zhang Yuan made a move and gently hugged her shoulder.

Ming Yuelin\'s body stiffened feeling his warm hand around her bare shoulders and he gently pulled her closer, making her fall on his robust chest.

"Is it cold, Lin\'er...?"

Ming Yuelin\'s eyes trembled in embarrassment and she slowly moved her hands, hugging him "No Master, since I am with you... it\'s so warm."

As she muttered, she nuzzled her face on his chest feeling the warmth radiating from it.

"Lin\'er... you know..." Zhang Yuan softly whispered, his fingers tracing her waist taking in every curve of her body and Ming Yuelin\'s body melted in his embrace.

*smooch* Zhang Yuan placed a kiss on Ming Yuelin\'s neck and Ming Yuelin was startled "M-Master?"

"Hm?" Zhang Yuan smiled playfully and snuggled his face on her neck as he hugged her closer in his arms.

"What? I thought you wanted me... Lin\'er."

E-Eh? Ming Yuelin was dumbfounded and a huge blush took over her face "Master.. how did you Mmnghh~"

A moan slipped past her lips as Zhang Yuan tenderly bit her neck, his teeth baring into her flesh.

"So, tell me, Lin\'er... you want me?"

Hearing his whisper, Ming Yuelin\'s heart trembled and she bit her lips feeling his hands wander around her body.

"Haah..." A hot breath escaped her lips and her fingers tightly clutched his hair.

"Hnngh~ Master~~~"

"Wait-" Suddenly she gained some clarity and she opened her eyes.

\'Master is not someone who will do this to me, even if he has a chance.. if he wanted, he would have done that night...\'

\'Am I... still in the illusion?\'
