"This disciple is confident that I can elevate my alchemy skills to the legendary Immortal level within five years!"
Jiang Che gave Haiyue a very definite answer with almost no hesitation and a serious expression.
With the golden attribute "Peerless in Alchemy," it's practically a certainty for Jiang Che to become a Celestial-grade Alchemist in the future.
He wouldn't even need five years, since he's already a fourth-grade alchemist.
Similar to the "Sword Immortal's Appearance," if one cannot become an immortal, how can one be called a sword immortal?
If one cannot attain enlightenment through the elixir of immortality and become a true immortal, how can one claim to be unparalleled?
After hearing Haiyue's explanation, Jiang Che finally understood why the Empress had suddenly paid so much attention to him and even wanted to personally cultivate him.
I knew it! That fierce-looking woman was definitely up to something!
Refining elixirs of immortality?
This might be something other alchemists wouldn't even dare to dream of, but given enough time to develop, it's really not a difficult task. His unparalleled talent is his greatest source of confidence and reliance.
..... .... ...
Looking across the entire world, across the vast land and the boundless land of China, who else besides myself could possess the golden attribute of alchemy talent?
absolutely not!
Even the peerless empress only has a purple-level entry.
...........................
"It's good that you have this confidence. I believe in you, and I believe you can definitely do it in the future..."
Seeing Jiang Che's confident and nonchalant demeanor, Haiyue's last trace of worry vanished. She smiled gently and spoke softly.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Master, is it really okay to make any request?"
Looking at Haiyue's infinitely gentle appearance, Jiang Che's heart stirred, and he tentatively asked.
"As long as it's within my power, you can just say so..."
Haiyue nodded with a smile, indicating that Jiang Che should not worry and could just say it directly.
"Disciple wants to hug Master..."
Seeing Haiyue's stance, Jiang Che then made his own request, while observing Haiyue's changing expression.
Seeing that Haiyue's expression didn't change much, and there was no sign of her getting angry or throwing a tantrum, only some surprise, Jiang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was precisely because Jiang Che had a good grasp of Haiyue's temperament that he dared to make this somewhat presumptuous request, without worrying about being slapped away by Haiyue.
Jiang Che didn't know how Haiyue acted towards others, but in front of him, Haiyue would always show a gentle demeanor, like an intellectual and dignified older sister, completely lacking the aloofness of a moon goddess or lunar deity, and never keeping him at arm's length.
Why would you make such a request?
Haiyue frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Che with a puzzled expression. Her beautiful eyes flashed with doubt, but she didn't get angry at Jiang Che's somewhat presumptuous words. She was just very confused.
Haiyue originally thought that Jiang Che would take the opportunity to ask her for some divine martial arts manuals, divine weapons, or at the very least some rare and precious materials and elixirs. She never expected that Jiang Che would make such a request.
Although Jiang Che's words were somewhat offensive, Haiyue felt no anger at all.
She was willing to give her only direct disciple boundless tolerance and care.
"Because Master is now my elder..."
"In the disciple's hometown, it's perfectly normal for younger generations to hug their elders; it's a way of expressing affection..."
Jiang Che casually made up a story, lying to Haiyue without batting an eye, without even blinking.
Having had the experience of acting opposite Diao Chan some time ago, Jiang Che's acting skills have greatly improved, and he has long since reached the point where he doesn't care about his appearance anymore. Naturally, he is not afraid that Hai Yue will see any flaws.
"I see..."
"Since you have this intention, your master can grant your wish..."
Haiyue was a little confused. She had indeed seen something similar in the Western Continent when she traveled to the King's Continent in the past, and knew that such so-called hugs and hand kisses existed in some places in the Western Continent.
But isn't Jiang Che a person from the Tang Dynasty?
When did we become associated with those barbarian lands in the West?
Indeed, in Haiyue's view, the western continent of Sunset Sea is nothing but a barbarian land!
Apart from a few prosperous places like Haidu, the Temple of Glory, and the Golden Forest, other regions are constantly at war, their level of civilization is far less developed than that of the Tang Dynasty, and their territory is incomparable to that of the Tang Dynasty. What else could they be but barbaric lands?
…………Man.
120: Master, baby smells so good!
"Is it really possible, Master?"
Hearing Haiyue agree so readily, Jiang Che was slightly taken aback. Suppressing his excitement, he tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"
To be honest, Jiang Che never expected things to go so smoothly. His master agreed to his somewhat unreasonable request almost without hesitation.
He had thought he was doomed to fail this time, but things took an unexpected turn for the better!
"Since it's a custom from your hometown, I naturally agree..."
"Come with me..."
With a light smile, Haiyue did not expose her disciple's little trick. She used her divine sense to sweep up Jiang Che, and the two of them disappeared from the entrance of Daming Palace in an instant, and then appeared in the main hall of Qixia Peak, which was a hundred miles away.
"There's no one here anymore..."
"What do you want?"
Haiyue turned her gaze back to Jiang Che, her expression becoming somewhat awkward. Although she didn't show any girlish shyness, she was still a little embarrassed.
The thought of embracing Jiang Che made Haiyue feel a little strange and instinctively repulsed.
After all these years, she has never had any intimate contact with any man, nor has she ever thought that she would have any intimate contact with any man.
But Jiang Che was his personal disciple, one of the two most important people in his life.
Although it was a little embarrassing to embrace her beloved disciple, Haiyue wasn't entirely unable to accept it. After all, hadn't she often held Die'er in her arms before?
She found an excuse in her mind and desperately told herself that her mind was gradually calming down. Although she was so nervous that her heart was pounding and her heart was trembling, she pretended to be calm, composed and indifferent on the surface.
"hey-hey………"
"Then I beg you, Master!"
Jiang Che chuckled, strode forward, and naturally embraced Haiyue's exquisite, voluptuous, and boneless body, wrapping his large hands around her slender waist.
The air was filled with Haiyue's delicate fragrance, which smelled wonderful. Jiang Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat intoxicated.
I have to say, my master baby smells so good!
Soft and fragrant, with a cool and delicate touch, it's so lovely that you don't want to let go when you hold it in your arms!
Jiang Che had never been so unrestrained before, nor had he ever been so close to Haiyue. He really didn't know that Haiyue's body had this characteristic.
"You...you better behave yourself!"
"Don't touch me!"
Haiyue's voice became slightly stammering, a faint blush appearing on her fair and pretty face, her cheeks rosy. Feeling Jiang Che's large hand on her waist, her heart trembled, and she almost choked on her breath.
If the person in front of her were not her most beloved disciple, any other man who dared to treat her so lightly would have been torn to pieces by her long ago!
In just a thousand years, Haiyue could transform from an ordinary mortal into a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. She was no merciful person.
While she wouldn't be described as a cruel and bloodthirsty serial killer, she did kill countless people throughout her life, and all her enemies on the road became victims of her sword. She was no pushover.
Haiyue never expected that this disciple, who usually acted so properly in front of her, would have such a side to him. She secretly regretted that she had agreed too hastily.
This is nothing like the hug she had imagined!
Compared to the affectionate hug Jiang Che described, it felt more like the usual cuddling and flirting between lovers.
Haiyue wanted to push Jiang Che away and break free from his embrace, but seeing Jiang Che's expression of enjoyment, she hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.
Fine... this is the only time.
I am a dignified deity of the moon, the goddess of the moon, how could I break my promise to people?
Since he had already agreed to Jiang Che's request, it would be inappropriate for his superior to suddenly go back on his word. He could simply refrain from making such requests to Jiang Che in the future.
Comforting herself in this way, Haiyue, as if possessed, reached out her slender hand and wrapped it around Jiang Che's arm. However, her movements were a little clumsy and her posture was not quite right, so it looked somewhat comical.
.....................
"Haven't you hugged me enough yet?"
Fifteen minutes later, seeing that Jiang Che still showed no sign of letting go, Haiyue's long, delicate eyelashes trembled slightly, and she asked in a trembling voice, her delicate body twisting restlessly in Jiang Che's arms.
Holding Jiang Che in his arms, even though she knew he was her disciple, Haiyue felt strange and a strange impulse arose within her, making her feel somewhat hot.
"Master...you smell so good..."
Jiang Che buried his head in Haiyue's snow-white, slender neck, took a deep breath, and was completely intoxicated by the pure and elegant fragrance that filled his nostrils.
"You...don't talk nonsense!"
Haiyue's pretty face flushed even more, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed. She struggled slightly, trying to break free from Jiang Che's embrace.
In that instant, the whole world seemed to stand still.
A fraction of a second after making that move, Jiang Che immediately regretted it, because he saw Haiyue in his arms blushing and looking at him with extremely angry eyes.
Jiang Che swore that he had made similar gestures when flirting with his women at Qingyun Manor, and that he really had just done it by accident!
"Master, I..."
Jiang Che opened his mouth, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to smooth things over.
"You traitor!"
"Let me go now!"
Haiyue's pretty face was flushed, she gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice, feeling extremely ashamed and angry, and her breasts hurt from the anger.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have agreed to Jiang Che's request.
Now look what happened, we've completely messed things up!
