Mengyu looked up in astonishment. Damn, now I really can’t play any tricks. Oh well, I wasn’t planning on causing trouble anyway. Following this important figure might be my chance to rise through the ranks and make a fortune...

“Young man, you might be overthinking things…”

If Qian Mo knew what he was thinking, that would have been her answer.

“But... it’s not impossible. It all depends on your performance…”

“Now that you’re my underling, as your boss I won’t be stingy. Here, take this and study it. If you don’t have a powerful technique, you’ll be finished if you encounter a strong enemy.”

Qian Mo continued, pausing for a moment before going on, “This technique is called Burning Heaven Strike. It’s a top-tier Heaven Class skill. I’ll send it into your mind now. How much you can comprehend depends on your own fortune. And don’t worry about anyone stealing or soul-searching this technique from you—except for me, anyone who tries will die.”

Qian Mo spoke offhandedly, tapping his finger to Mengyu’s forehead, sending a beam of light into him.

He waved his hand dismissively.

“W-what? A top-tier Heaven Class technique? Am I dreaming?”

Smack—

“Does that hurt?” Qian Mo asked after slapping him.

“It hurts! It really hurts!” Mengyu rubbed his reddened cheek and, coming to his senses, replied.

At this moment, instead of feeling indignant, Mengyu’s face was lit with happiness. The pain meant it was real... Wow! Not only can I become a Dou Zong, but I can also learn a legendary Heaven Class technique?

This is something so many people dream of, fighting to the death and still not succeeding, yet now I can learn it just like that.

No, I need to find a chance to truly comprehend this technique called Burning Heaven Strike. Just from the name, it sounds explosively powerful...

“If it hurts, then it’s real. Stick with me and you’ll get plenty of good things. No, your most important task now is to protect the young lady. Oh, and I forgot to tell you—the Vitality Pill I just gave you will not only help you reach Dou Zong but also make your cultivation speed several times faster than normal…”

Qian Mo said casually.

“What? Did I just hear that right? My cultivation speed will be several times faster? Amazing! Fate truly favors me!” Mengyu was stunned and excited once again.

He immediately replied respectfully, “Yes, Master. I won’t let you down and will protect the young lady well.”

“Hmm, by the way, call me Emperor Mo from now on. I like that name,” Qian Mo reminded him blandly.

“Yes, Emperor Mo…” Emperor? Could he be a Dou Emperor? Mengyu’s eyes widened and his brows lifted in thought.

Suppressing his excitement, Mengyu decided not to ask for now—he would find out sooner or later. Whether or not he was a Dou Emperor, today’s misfortune had turned into a huge windfall!

“Alright, you should enter the young lady’s ring now and hurry up to absorb the Vitality Pill and comprehend Burning Heaven Strike.”

Qian Mo waved his hand.

“Yes, Emperor Mo!” Mengyu replied respectfully, then transformed into a beam of light and entered the little Doctor Fairy’s ring.

“Wow! He really went in!” the little Doctor Fairy exclaimed in surprise as she watched Mengyu disappear before her eyes and enter her ring.

Qian Mo patted her head gently and said, “Alright, let’s go. We need to keep moving forward.”

“Mm-hmm!” the little Doctor Fairy nodded.

Qian Mo then carried her as they continued deeper into the cave...

...

“Hmhm, with my left hand I hold the pig-slaying knife, with my right I carry the fat sheep, chopping it into pieces and tossing them into the pot to cook! Lalala!” Qian Mo hummed a little tune as he walked.

“Master, what are you singing?” the little Doctor Fairy asked curiously.

“I’m singing about how to cook a big fat sheep,” Qian Mo replied.

“What’s a big fat sheep, Master? Is it something to eat?” she asked.

“Oh, little one, a big fat sheep is delicious, especially sliced mutton rolls. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water, ha ha!” Qian Mo grinned mischievously, licking his lips.

Seeing his expression, the little Doctor Fairy knew that whatever this fat sheep was, it must be delicious. She immediately protested, “Teacher, I want some too! You can’t eat it all by yourself!”

Looking at her adorable face, Qian Mo glanced around at the darkness. Heh, such temptation—should I make a move?

“Oh dear, I feel itchy inside. How could I think like this? She’s my disciple! And she’s still just a child. How could I be such a beast? No, no, this won’t do! I must have been holding back for too long—it’s making me restless. After this is over, I really need to find a girl to vent these frustrations.”

Qian Mo’s lecherous thoughts echoed in his mind.

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk…”

“My dear disciple, why are you so cute?” Qian Mo pinched and teased her cheeks.

“Ah! Teacher, what are you doing? Don’t pinch my face, it hurts!” the little Doctor Fairy puffed her cheeks angrily.

Qian Mo let go and stood up straight.

The little Doctor Fairy, rubbing her reddened cheeks, looked at Qian Mo with a face full of complaint.

“Ahem! Alright, don’t look at your master like that. I know I’m handsome,” Qian Mo said lightly.

“Bleh—” the little Doctor Fairy stuck out her tongue at Qian Mo. So shameless! Still, he is my teacher, and not that bad-looking, after all.

Time passed as they played and chatted, and before they knew it, they entered a spacious chamber within the cave.

Inside, plants were growing everywhere—or rather, the ground was covered with medicinal herbs.

“Wow! Teacher, so many herbs!” the little Doctor Fairy exclaimed happily.

“Yes, these herbs are my gift to you,” Qian Mo said.

“Really? That’s wonderful!” the little Doctor Fairy cheered again.

“Do you like them?”

“I love them!”

“Then give your master a kiss as thanks!”

“Ah…” The little Doctor Fairy froze, as if her system had crashed.

Standby mode activated…

“What’s wrong? Won’t you kiss your master? Then I suppose I’ll take the herbs back.” Qian Mo put on a stern face and waved his sleeve dismissively.

“Ah! No, I’ll kiss you right now!” the little Doctor Fairy said shyly.

Qian Mo leaned his face over.

Smooch—

“Here,” Qian Mo said, unsatisfied, pointing to the other cheek.

“Uh…”

“Hm?” Qian Mo frowned at her hesitation.

“Bullying a little girl!” That was the little Doctor Fairy’s thought, but she still leaned over and kissed the other cheek.

Smooch.

“Happy now, you mean teacher!” the little Doctor Fairy pouted, arms crossed.

“Not bad. Do better next time,” Qian Mo replied calmly.

“I’ll do better—what kind of teacher treats his disciple like this? Boo hoo!” the little Doctor Fairy said, looking utterly aggrieved.
