All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me

Within Cloud Array Hall, a thousand people waited with bated breath. The red lanterns hanging from the eaves were tied with ropes, swaying in the wind and casting a flickering, orange glow. All eyes were focused on the man in a white robe with a crescent crown beneath the fireworks. He was now lifting his head with a strange expression to look at Xi Qingyi, whose complexion was extremely unsightly. In the end, no one spoke.

Mo Zhan sighed upon witnessing this scene and, after pondering for a moment, also came to accept this reality. Once words were spoken before all these eyes, how could they be taken back? Fortunately, Su Bei was not as bad as he had imagined. Judging by Xiao Ruoching, whom he had taught, Li Er's future achievements might very well match hers. That sword strike truly seemed divine.

Xi Qingyi snorted coldly, glancing at Su Bei and then at Mo Zhan, before turning to leave with a flick of his sleeve. The elders and disciples from the various sects watched this scene with mixed feelings, then all turned to look at the new master-apprentice pair at the center of everyone's gaze.

「...」

Su Bei gazed into Mo Li's autumn-water eyes, which seemed to ripple with something he had never seen before, tinged with a hint of pride.

But now that he had made up his mind to take her as a disciple, no matter his prior impression of her, he resolved to treat her well.

Mo Li placed her small hand in Su Bei's large one, feeling the heat in his palm. Her pupils dilated slightly, her heart beating wildly, and that indefinable, morbid feeling in her heart grew even stronger. Her eyes gradually became like a deep pool, mixing all her longing and jealousy, concealing them within its depths.

Once again, she had taken him as her master in this life. How should I play with you this time, Master?

The system's voice rang in Su Bei's mind once again:

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully taking Mo Li as a disciple. Two disciples have been successfully accepted, completing the achievement task!"

"Congratulations to the Host for gaining an additional disciple slot. Current disciple count: (2/3)."

"Congratulations to the Host for winning ten consecutive draws on the Lucky Fortune Wheel; the system is now automatically drawing—"

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the treasure [Cold Pool Linglong Pearl], an Immortal's ten-times unwashed bellyband, a page of magical paper, a pack of sincere, exaggerated facial expressions, ten sets of deadstock navy swimsuits..."

"..."

Su Bei felt a multitude of worthless items instantaneously appear in his storage ring. He glanced around to see that the crowd was still staring at him intently, then cleared his throat. He then took out a large, bright red pill from his storage ring.

The fragrance of the medicine wafted through the air, and in an instant, everyone's attention was captured by the pill. Soon after, the elder from Five Roads inhaled sharply. He stood up abruptly, looking at the pill and double-checking to make sure he was not seeing things, then exclaimed aloud, "This is a First Grade...a First Grass Creation Pill!!"

"!!"

As soon as the Five Roads Elder spoke, everyone's eyes filled with shock, and they craned their necks to see the First Grade pill in Su Bei's hand.

—No one doubted the words of the Five Roads Elder, nor would they doubt them!

Immediately after, everyone inhaled sharply, nearly raising the temperature of the area:

"HISS—"

"It's actually a Creation Pill!"

"And a First Grass Creation Pill??"

"Where did Sword Sect get a First Grass Creation Pill? Where did Elder Su find it?"

"What is Su Bei planning to do? Could it be... he's going to give the First Grass Creation Pill to this Mo Li!!?"

"..."

Wenren Pingxin's eyes held a complex expression as she watched her junior brother. She knew that not long ago, he had also given a First Grass Creation Pill to Xiao Ruoching.

Mo Li stared at the pill that had suddenly appeared before her, her nose filled with the lingering fragrance, and she was momentarily stunned.

How could she not know how precious this pill was? Her mind went blank, and for a moment, she was bewildered.

Nearby, Xiao Ruoching watched the scene before her with complicated eyes and quietly lowered her head. Under the moonlight, her swan-like, pale neck was revealed as she gently clutched a corner of her plain skirt.

Indeed, the First Grass Creation Pill was not exclusively hers... Master, you are truly 'fair' to each disciple.

—Xiao Ruoching emphasized the word 'fair' in her heart.

With a gentle smile, Su Bei handed the pill over. Beneath the fireworks and amidst the softly falling snow, the First Grass Creation Pill shone brightly, reflecting in Mo Li's pupils and making them sparkle. "Now that you have taken Su Mou as your master, it is only right that I present my disciple with a gift."

"It's just that No-Sword Peak is indeed a bit tight on supplies; there isn't even a chicken to be found up on the peak."

He paused for a moment. Seeing that Mo Li was still dazed, he took her slightly cold little hand, placed the First Grass Creation Pill in it, gently closed her fingers, and said tenderly, "This First Grass Creation Pill was refined by Elder Mo and possesses various benefits, including marrow cleansing, bone forging, spirit condensing, and mind enhancing..."

"I really don't have much to give you. After much thought, only this First Grass Creation Pill is presentable enough."

BOOM—

As soon as Su Bei finished speaking, a multitude of shocked and envious exclamations erupted within Cloud Array Hall.

This was a First Grass Creation Pill, after all! Even for Dao Integration Cultivators, it held inexpressible benefits. And Su Bei was just giving it to his disciple? Without the slightest hint of reluctance in his eyes?

Su Bei paid no mind to those covetous glares. He gently ruffled Mo Li's hair, his graceful demeanor and smile unwavering as he said, "You must cultivate diligently. Don't disappoint your master."
