While carefully pressing, I couldn't help but admire my master's fair and delicate feet.
Only then did he belatedly realize that a woman's feet shouldn't be touched casually.
He swallowed hard, but pretended to be calm and composed.
As a disciple, it's perfectly normal to show respect to your master by washing and massaging his feet, right?
"Master, how are you feeling?"
"Mmm, it feels good." Brigitte's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
She was initially just surprised when her apprentice touched her feet.
But she found that she didn't dislike it.
Even Brigitte herself was surprised, as she always seemed to be exceptionally tolerant of her apprentice.
During her time with Dongfang Jing, through his narration and the many human books she read, Brigitte learned that most human children are influenced by their parents and elders.
She thought that now that she was Dongfang Jing's master, perhaps she could also be considered his mother.
Therefore, she always treated him gently and was exceptionally tolerant in many things.
Just like now, although her cheeks were flushed and her heart was racing, she felt uncomfortable and embarrassed all over.
Brigitte, however, continued to comfort herself in her heart—
"My disciple is just showing me respect. He's still young; it's just a massage, it's nothing."
For Brigitte, her first foot bath experience was both comfortable and unbearable.
Seeing Dongfang Jing shake the water droplets off his hands and prepare to get up, Biji quickly circulated her soul power to suppress the blush on her ears and face.
She forced herself to remain calm and smiled, saying, "Thank you, little mirror. I feel like I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."
"Really?" Dongfang Jing was somewhat relieved and picked up the towel next to her. "Then I'll give you a massage every day from now on."
“Huh?” Brigitte was stunned.
Seeing Dongfang Jing pick up a towel to wipe her feet again, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't bear to refuse.
After drying his feet, Dongfang Jing thought his master's feet seemed even whiter and softer, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Master's feet are so beautiful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the feet disappeared from his sight.
Brigitte quickly pulled her foot back, covered it with the blanket, and glared at her wicked apprentice with a sly look: "Smooth talker!"
Dongfang Jing looked embarrassed and changed the subject: "Master, do you plan to help that Blue Silver Emperor restore its physical body?"
“This…” Brigitte hesitated, then threw the question back at him, “What about you? Don’t worry about my feelings. After all, she is the wife and mother of your enemy. Are you really willing to let her go?”
Dongfang Jing shrugged with relief: "I'm not a great person, but I'm not utterly wicked either. Of course, that's on the condition that she won't hurt me."
These words drew a suspicious look from Brigitte: "That sounds nice, but could it be that you're a little tempted by her beauty, and that's why you can't bring yourself to do it?"
Dongfang Jing stared wide-eyed, feeling even more wronged than Dou E!
He said solemnly, "Master, I swear on my martial spirit that I have absolutely no selfish motives. If you don't believe me, I'll go and uproot her right now."
"Hey, wait a minute!" Brigitte quickly grabbed him when she saw he was really going to go. "I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?"
Brigitte was both amused and exasperated by him, and began to worry about the child's future.
He could even lay a hand on such a pitiful beauty; which girl would dare to marry him in the future?
She felt that as his teacher, and also as his adoptive mother, it was necessary for her to teach him properly.
Think back to all the human books I've read, and the love stories within them.
Then she advised, "Little Mirror, you need to be gentler with girls and not resort to violence so easily, otherwise no girl will like you in the future. You're so beautiful, wouldn't that be a waste?"
Dongfang Jing's expression was strange. As expected of the Romance Continent, even his master, a soul beast, would talk to him about this kind of topic.
"Master, my goal is to become a god, how can I have time for romance?"
Upon hearing this, Brigitte realized that there was something wrong with the child's thinking!
She took a deep breath: "You can bring your wife to the divine realm after you become a god. Besides, what if you don't become a god? You still need to have children, right?"
Seeing that Dongfang Jing remained silent, Biji patted the empty space beside the bed, pulled him down to sit, and asked curiously, "Little Mirror, tell your master secretly, do you have a girl you like?"
But then she noticed that her apprentice turned to look at her, but quickly turned back without saying a word.
Brigitte tilted her head, thinking he was embarrassed.
However, I felt somewhat relieved, thankfully my apprentice was of sound mind.
'Since you're embarrassed, you must have someone you like, right?'
'Never mind, if he doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask.'
Brigitte reached out and patted Dongfang Jing's head: "It's late, go back to your room and rest."
"Mm." Dongfang Jing stood up. "Good night, Master."
Brigitte smiled and waved.
As she watched her apprentice's departing figure, the smile on her face gradually faded.
She stared intently at the closed wooden door, a sense of indescribable loss quietly welling up inside her, without her even realizing it.
It was late at night, and all around was quiet.
Only outside the habitat of the Emerald Swan clan can one hear the roars of night-walking spirit beasts and the chirping of insects.
Dongfang Jing decided not to meditate or practice tonight, but to get a good night's sleep.
After all, the daytime ordeal with the soul beasts had taken a toll on his mental energy.
The boy lay on his side on the bed, breathing evenly.
On the windowsill of his room, a figure silently leaped up.
Its entire body is covered in golden fur, fluffy like it's made of crystal, and it has a vertical eye on its forehead.
It is indeed the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Its movements were so light that they made almost no sound. Its gaze fell on Dongfang Jing, who was fast asleep on the bed. Its figure transformed into a golden light and instantly appeared beside the boy's pillow.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared at Dongfang Jing's face for a long time before slowly bending down and placing its third eye on Dongfang Jing's forehead.
Ever since the last failed attempt to guide it, it has never been able to forget the scene it witnessed.
At the bottom of the Lake of Life, it was restless for a long time and thought a lot.
Finally, it made up its mind that it wanted to see more stories about the human world!
Chapter 113 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Wants More
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt it must be going crazy.
It's unbelievable that it would actively approach a human and engage in such intimate behavior.
For auspicious beasts, the connection of destiny means that their fates will be closely linked and their memories will be intertwined, which is almost like offering themselves to each other!
It felt both ashamed and angry. How could such a noble being be compared to this human before it?
But curiosity about the human world gradually overcame this shame.
However, to its bewilderment, despite having placed its vertical pupil on the other's forehead, there was no reaction whatsoever.
What about the memories? What about the images?
It impatiently separated their touching foreheads and then pressed them together again, trying several times, but nothing happened.
At this moment, Dongfang Jing, who was lying on the bed, was already covered in a cold sweat.
The three-eyed golden lion's movements became increasingly exaggerated, and its fluffy fur tickled him.
Actually, he had been awake for a while, but he was just pretending to be asleep.
He was puzzled, wondering what the three-eyed golden lion was up to.
Dongfang Jing dared not wake up rashly, knowing that this auspicious beast was not only of noble status but also had a rather volatile temper.
If it discovers that your sneaky behavior was actually seen a long time ago, it might get so angry that it would swat you in the face with its claws!
Is it attempting attribute redirection?
Dongfang Jing was also puzzled as to why the guidance failed.
However, he had made up his mind. He didn't care about any auspicious signs anymore; he wanted to forge his own path.
So he stopped dwelling on the reasons and instead started thinking about why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so eager to be guided by him.
On the other side, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was so anxious that it was almost crying.
"Connect it quickly! Why isn't it responding?!"
Having already humbled myself to do this, am I really going to return empty-handed?
"Squeak-"
Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed open came from inside.
The three-eyed golden lion was startled. In its panic, it looked around and, without thinking, burrowed into Dongfang Jing's bed.
"Holy crap!" Dongfang Jing felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through his mind.
He froze when he felt the furry, warm little creature behind him.
This change, of course, did not escape the notice of the three-eyed golden lion hiding under the covers.
It immediately realized that Dongfang Jing had been awake for a long time and had been pretending to be asleep.
Its chest heaved violently; in all its long life, it had never experienced such complex emotions.
It began to pant, bar its teeth, and make a low growling sound in its throat.
Fortunately, Brigitte had already entered the room and was looking around.
Dongfang Jing pretended to have just woken up, sat up and rubbed his eyes: "Master, is there something you need?"
“I think I sensed the aura of an auspicious beast just now, my disciple…” Biji was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly noticed a bulge next to Dongfang Jing’s blanket. A fluffy, golden tail was not completely hidden and was still swaying gently.
Dongfang Jing quickly pulled the blanket up to cover the three-eyed golden lion's tail, and pretended to cough: "Uh, Master, you mean auspicious beast?"
