Qian Qiu and Song Xian'er, with their relatively low cultivation levels, couldn't perceive the Dao Essence. They only felt an inexplicable urge to be close to Gu Liangyuan due to the aura he emitted.

  Hearing the soft snores from Gu Liangyuan, Qian Qiu carefully used Fire Spiritual Qi to envelop his feet, drying them before gently placing them on the bed.

  She then exchanged a glance with Song Xian'er, who immediately understood and cautiously placed Gu Liangyuan's upper body onto the bed.

  After completing these tasks, Qian Qiu let out a soft sigh.

  Gazing at the sleeping Gu Liangyuan, her eyes suddenly shifted as she casually set up a Soundproof Formation, then looked at Song Xian'er with a serious expression:

  "At Master's level, a brief meditation is enough to fulfill the need for sleep."

  "Today, Master's sudden slumber must indicate something unusual."

  "Perhaps, something went wrong during his cultivation."

  "What?" Song Xian'er exclaimed, visibly anxious.

  "Both of our martial uncles are nowhere to be found; what should we do?"

  Qian Qiu raised her hand to reassure Song Xian'er:

  "Though my cultivation isn't strong either, as your Senior Sister, I know more about cultivation than you do."

  After pondering for a moment, Qian Qiu continued:

  "How about this, you sleep on the floor tonight, and I'll stay by Master's side to watch over him. If anything unexpected happens, I'll know immediately."

  Song Xian'er, without further thought, looked at Gu Liangyuan with worry in her eyes:

  "Given the situation, I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

  After Qian Qiu nodded, Song Xian'er began to tidy up her bedding.

  As she inadvertently glanced at the bed, she saw the bed curtain slowly falling, gradually covering the wooden bed.

  With the descent of the bed curtain, a large soundproof formation enveloped the entire bed.

  Just as the bed curtain was about to close, Song Xian'er caught a glimpse of Qian Qiu inside.

  At that moment, Qian Qiu had already removed her outer garments, leaving only her undergarments, and was lying beside Gu Liangyuan.

  It was then that Song Xian'er realized!

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  What cultivation mishap, I actually believed it!

  I thought of you as my Senior Sister, but you want to be my Master's wife!

  We share a bond, yet you play mind games with me!

  Fine, fine, fine!

  For some reason, Song Xian'er felt a faint discomfort imagining Qian Qiu and Gu Liangyuan sharing a bed.

  However, she had no time to dwell on it. Exhausted from the day's travels, she felt a wave of drowsiness as soon as she lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep.

  Inside the bed curtain, Qian Qiu lay on her side, resting her head on her fair arm, gazing intently at Gu Liangyuan.

  She admired his chiseled eyebrows, his high nose bridge, and his sharply defined lips.

  At that moment, she felt her heart pounding intensely.

  No matter how she tried to circulate the Scripture of Emotionlessness, she couldn't calm it down.

  After a while, through deep breathing and adjustment, she finally steadied her heartbeat.

  Then, she carefully lifted Gu Liangyuan's arm and gently rested her head on it.

  Feeling the warmth emanating from Gu Liangyuan, Qian Qiu blushed deeply.

  Being held by Master, this feeling is wonderful...

  She intended to leave it at that and fall asleep.

  Yet, Gu Liangyuan's face kept appearing in her mind, and despite her drowsiness, she couldn't sleep.

  Her heart itched as if scratched by a cat; such a golden opportunity, she felt it would be a waste not to do something.

  But... if Master woke up, would he blame her?

  Would he distance himself from her because of it...

  Afraid of waking Gu Liangyuan, Qian Qiu dared not turn over. Otherwise, she would have tossed and turned by now.

  After much internal struggle, inhaling Gu Liangyuan's refreshing scent, Qian Qiu finally couldn't resist.

  She slowly sat up, using one hand to support herself on the bed, and the other to hold her hair back, preventing it from brushing against Gu Liangyuan and waking him.

  Then, she gently leaned down, her lips lightly touching Gu Liangyuan's, before quickly lying back down.

  Though Qian Qiu's eyes were tightly shut, as if asleep, the blush on her cheeks, the slight upward curve of her lips, and her unsteady breathing betrayed her inner turmoil.

  She smacked her lips, savoring the taste.

  Hmm, sweet.

  So nice.

  Having done all this, it seemed to have exhausted all of Qian Qiu's courage.

  She still had the desire, but no longer the nerve.

  After calming herself, she fell into a deep sleep in her Master's warm embrace.

  In his dreams, Gu Liangyuan was unaware of any of this.

  In his dream, he was experiencing the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation.

  In the first life, he was a golden carp in a fishpond, carefree and without worries, until he was caught by a fisherman.

  In the second life, he became a fisherman, living by fishing and drinking, until he was wrongfully executed by the authorities.

  In the third life, he became a county magistrate, benefiting the people and gaining fame, only to be executed for siding with the wrong faction in court.

  In the fourth life, he became an emperor, diligent and wise, only to be killed by the aftermath of a battle between two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

  In the fifth life, he became a rogue cultivator, embarking on the path of cultivation, only to die in a secret realm exploration.

  In the sixth, seventh, eighth lives... all the way to the ninety-ninth reincarnation.

  During this time, Gu Liangyuan had been a grandmaster of the heretical path, a leader of the righteous path, a demon, an immortal, and a devil.

  No matter how hard he tried, someone always managed to end his life.

  Until the last life, Gu Liangyuan became a golden carp again, swimming in rivers and seas.

  Seeing the fisherman's net approaching once more, Gu Liangyuan felt as if he was facing not a net, but the rules of the Heavenly Dao itself, unable to escape no matter which way he swam.

  Suddenly, Gu Liangyuan had an epiphany!

  All beings are fish, and the Heavenly Dao is the net!

  No matter how powerful you are, you cannot escape the Heaven-Earth Net!

  "Ding, congratulations to the host for comprehending a Greater Divine Ability. Please name it."

  The sudden system prompt woke Gu Liangyuan from his state of enlightenment.

  Hearing the system's words, Gu Liangyuan didn't hesitate: "Name it Heaven-Earth Net."

  Name: Heaven-Earth Net

  Level: Greater Divine Ability

  Cultivation Requirement: Comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth

  Function: Using the Laws of Heaven and Earth to form a great net, it can render those caught powerless and inescapable, a Supreme Binding Divine Power!

  (Note: The power of the Heaven-Earth Net increases with the user's comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.)

  Reading the system's introduction, Gu Liangyuan frowned slightly.

  As far as he knew, comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth was something only achievable at the Soul Transformation Stage.

  I've comprehended a divine ability beyond my current realm?

  Supreme Comprehension, truly extraordinary.

  Soul Transformation...

  I'm currently at the Sixth Layer of Nascent Soul, just four minor realms away from breaking through to Soul Transformation.

  Theoretically, as long as my three disciples all reach Core Formation, I can directly break through five minor realms to reach the Second Layer of Soul Transformation.

  It doesn't seem too difficult.

  As long as Mo Chen and Song Xian'er's talents are activated, their cultivation growth should be swift.

  I just need to be cautious of the strange curse on Emotionless Peak.

  Calming his thoughts, Gu Liangyuan suddenly felt something pressing on his body.

  Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a stretch of snow-white skin...

  Pawread.
