17. It's a nightmare, and also the cinnabar on my heart.

```html

"It's already the hour of the rabbit."

"According to the timeline in the game, Xiao Chen should have arrived at the gate of Youluo Mountain by now."

"With the Passage Jade Charm given by Dantai Lingyin, he has been unimpeded along the way. In half an hour, he should be able to reach the Blood Kitchen Entrance."

"The most crucial part is, Xiao Chen is also carrying a massive weapon bestowed by that old bastard Yu Xuzi, meant specifically to deal with me...."

"I must take precautions."

Bai Feng lay on the Cold Jade Bed, eyes closed in contemplation.

Soon, a plan emerged.

"Huh...."

At this moment, a gentle breath wafted to his ear.

Only then did Bai Feng remember that a petite and exquisite young lady with an ancient style was by his side!

"Hey, this girl is in a deep sleep, isn't she?"

Bai Feng turned his head to look behind.

He saw Cen Xing'er's body still tightly clinging to him, and under the slightly flipped hem of her skirt was a delicate white leg, casually draped over his waist!

"Isn't she getting a bit too comfortable?"

"I'm the Demon Lord who raised her all by myself, ruthless and domineering!"

"No, I can't let her go on like this!"

"A sudden change of character setting will only expose me quickly, allowing enemies to take advantage!"

Bai Feng grit his teeth inwardly, about to give a cold shout to wake her up.

However, in the next moment....

His gaze was suddenly held.

He saw the girl with her lovely eyes tightly shut, a rosy and delicate face slightly puckered, revealing thumb-sized gaps between her cherry lips, as if yearning for something.....

She looked both adorable and...

Appetizing?

"Tch, this girl is really cute to the extreme."

"I overlooked her a bit while playing the game in my past life."

Bai Feng marveled inwardly.

After all, he wasn't a womanizer.

In the game, Cen Xing'er's character setting was cute and charming, and her illustration was pretty enough, but damn....

What decent person would fantasize about a girl dressed in innocent white stockings!

Thus, when playing 'Immortal Romance,' all his attention was on interacting with the other female leads, and he skipped through this girl's side story with Ctrl all the way!

Reject the aesthetic of immaturity, starting with you!

Bai Feng quietly watched the sleeping girl.

It was as if appreciating a piece of art, temporarily forgetting the time.

By some supernatural impulse.

He leaned closer to Cen Xing'er's apple-like alluring face.

Closer.

And closer...

Until he felt the warm breaths of his little disciple against his cheek.

Bai Feng felt his heartbeat quicken.

He didn't know what he wanted to do.

But he just wanted to get a little closer, closer, until they completely merged...

"Master...."

At that moment, the girl's eyelashes fluttered slightly, murmuring dreamily:

"Second Senior Sister.... you're lying to me! It can't be...."

"Master, he... he's definitely not that kind of person!"

The girl spoke in a dazed manner.

Even with her eyes tightly shut, tears began to seep out!

Her small face looked sorrowful, as if dreaming of something again, she sobbed:

"Xing'er really likes you, Master....."

"If only Master..... also liked Xing'er, that would be great....."

Upon witnessing this scene.

Bai Feng felt a blockage in his heart.

Countless past memories surged overwhelmingly into his mind.

"Though she calls me master, deep in her heart, I'm always that mighty and warm master from the beginning."

In an instant.

Bai Feng could no longer suppress the compassion in his heart.

He took off his wide Demon Robe and covered the girl's slender body.

After hesitating for a moment.

He couldn't help it anymore, leaned in, and gave his little disciple a deep kiss on the lips!

Warm and soft, indescribable!

The first kiss of this lifetime—achieved!

As the kiss deepened...

Out of some strange habit, he extended his broad, muscular arm, slowly supporting Cen Xing'er's delicate waist....

And at that very moment.

Ding.

"Congratulations to the host! Successfully spread the great love!"

"You have received a reward: Points +1500! Current 9000 points!"

"You have received an extra reward: 'Divine level massage skill' (a life skill, when used on a target outside of combat, there is a chance to cause them to experience a pleasure illusion.)"

....

What the hell is this?

Bai Feng was jolted awake by the notification sound, instantly regaining clarity.

Almost simultaneously.

Cen Xing'er also opened her eyes, looking terrified!

"Master!?"

"No, no! Master! I......"

For the first time being face to face with this cold and handsome face that she had dreamed of day and night, Cen Xing'er's face instantly flushed, covering her eyes with her hands, unable to utter a word!

"Daylight has arrived."

"And the rain outside has also stopped."

Bai Feng quickly retreated, instantly recovering his cold Demon Lord demeanor, "It's time for you to carry out your task."

"Xing'er... task?"

Cen Xing'er was stunned for a while, completely at a loss.

At this moment, her mind was still replaying the scenes from the dream earlier!

In that vividly real dream.

She saw her Second Senior Sister, First Senior Sister...

And this man she admired before her!

And even at the end...

The other party lifted her face, passionately.....

Thinking of this, Cen Xing'er's cheeks blushed, subconsciously biting her lips.

"If only it were real...."

She sighed softly, lowering her head, not daring to look directly at the tall, mighty man before her.

"Listen, Xing'er."

Bai Feng resumed a serious tone, "At this moment Xiao Chen is at the outer gate of Youluo Palace. I want you to personally guide him to the Blood Kitchen, then...."

"I will give him a little shock."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes! Xing'er obeys!"

Though puzzled by this command, Cen Xing'er dared not slow down and obediently complied.

However, the moment she turned away.

She was surprised to find that she was wearing her master's black-gold Heavenly Demon Robe!?

Could it be.....

That everything just now wasn't a dream?

Thinking of this, Cen Xing'er's heart pounded rapidly!

She couldn't help but sneak a glance at the god-like figure beside her!

Only to see him with a pensive expression, his gaze deep, as if reminiscing about something!

"What are you smiling about? Hm?"

The god-like master spoke coldly.

"Replying to the master! Xing'er... Xing'er just thought of something happy╰(*°▽°*)╯"

The girl's eyes curved with her smile, answering without hesitation.

Bai Feng:......

....

....

In Cangming Sect, Inner Sect, Black Moon Hall, back mountain's forbidden ground.

On the cliff shrouded in morning mist.

A woman in white robes, beautiful like a celestial figure in a painting, sat in a mountain pavilion playing the zither.

The melody was dense, sometimes high, sometimes low, as if weeping and complaining, seemingly full of endless sorrow.

"Lingyin, today marks the seventh day, the poison of Soul Devouring Powder on that Big Demon Head has reached its peak."

"Don't you want to witness his miserable end?"

"Lately, every time I think of that guy who thought himself invincible, and his hideous, grotesque, bleeding seven orifices death, it makes me too happy to sleep!"

A cheerful female voice rang out.

Soon after, a mesmerizing woman with blue hair and eyes, dressed in a crimson sect master robe, walked gracefully forward with long legs.

The zither music abruptly halted.

Dantai Lingyin cast a cold gaze back, "Hongyi, I hope you understand one thing."

"He is a ruthless and evil Big Demon Head, that's true."

"But at the same time, he is also my master who raised me."

"Even at the end, I won't allow anyone to malign him, especially you, my best friend."

"Alright, alright, dear sister Lingyin, I admit my mistake, isn't that enough?"

Feeling the displeasure in the other's tone.

In the eyes of others, the domineering and cold Black Moon Hall Master, the next sect master heir, Ye Hongyi, surprisingly smiled to appease her, linking arms with her best friend.

"So, are you going to send off this... Master?"

She asked cautiously.

"No need."

Dantai Lingyin gazed into the turbulent sea of clouds, "Xing'er is enough."

"The few sincere feelings he had in this life were all given to Xing'er."

"As for me, the second disciple, in his eyes...."

"What am I worth?"

As she spoke, this goddess-like protector in the sect, adored by countless young talents, had tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Master, did you know?"

"Since I first saw you at the age of eight, I swore never to admire another in this life."

"You are a nightmare, yet also.... the cinnabar on my heart."
