The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 157

Luo Qingci's tone was unexpectedly gentle, even somewhat obedient, making Ruan Li's heart flutter. It seemed that for the first time, she realized that her Master could be so docile.

As Luo Qingci nestled into Ruan Li's embrace, her posture of reliance and relaxation made Ruan Li's heart soften deeply and feel moved.

Ruan Li closed her eyes and nuzzled against Luo Qingci's forehead, "So obedient, are you?"

Luo Qingci turned her head in surprise and looked at Ruan Li.

Ruan Li slightly moved away, her red eyes filled with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingci furrowed her brows, "You're being a bit bold."

Ruan Li found it both amusing and exasperating, "How am I being bold?"

"You actually dare to say I'm obedient; that's somewhat disrespectful to your Master," she said seriously.

Ruan Li couldn't help but laugh. She loosened her embrace around Luo Qingci, letting her turn to face her.

The room was dimly lit, but with their cultivation levels, they could see each other clearly even in the darkness. Luo Qingci could clearly see Ruan Li's appearance at this moment, with a smile and the lingering redness in her eyes, looking enchanting and bright.

Ruan Li's beauty was completely different from Luo Qingci's. Luo Qingci was like the cold, clear moon in the sky—pure and unapproachable.

Ruan Li, on the other hand, was like a white spider lily before—elegant but not enchanting, standing gracefully. Now, after falling into demonic influence, the dark patterns between her brows and her red eyes made her look like a red spider lily—bewitching and beautiful. Sitting there quietly, she was both alluring and dangerous.

However, the now somewhat dangerous and enchanting beauty had reined in her dangerous aura, radiating an irresistible tenderness.

Ruan Li listened to Luo Qingci's words, lowered her head a bit closer, and said softly, "You just said you remembered, but now you've forgotten. I'm not speaking to you as a Master but as your partner. It's only natural that I say you're obedient, and it's entirely reasonable for me to call you well-behaved."

Luo Qingci smiled softly. She could really feel that Ruan Li was indeed paying attention to her status and was starting to consciously show her role and position as a partner.

It must be said that a romance between a master and disciple has this kind of trouble. Habitually protecting her with the Master's identity sometimes made her unconsciously adopt the Master's attitude. Reflecting on it, it really wasn't ideal, and over time, the little dragon cub might have complaints.

So she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right. Ah Li is my partner, and we should be equal. There's no need for Master-disciple respect."

Ruan Li gazed at her intently, then couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the corner of Luo Qingci's lips. "I think it should be my fault for being too accustomed to treating you like a disciple. More importantly, I didn't do well enough and didn't make it clear that I am your partner."

Luo Qingci was momentarily stunned. With Ruan Li so close, both of them reclining on the bed in the dim light, the ambiguous atmosphere was gradually intensified by this almost imperceptible kiss and Ruan Li's slightly husky voice.

Luo Qingci's throat unconsciously moved up and down a few times. She felt that the little dragon cub with red eyes was becoming a bit more wicked, no longer as pure and easily deceived as before.

"How could it be? We already... You don't need to do anything. I won't forget that you are my partner," Luo Qingci's voice unconsciously carried a bit of hoarseness. The scene from the cave in Chaisang Mountain, with its alluring and mesmerizing atmosphere, uncontrollably invaded her mind. She felt her body heat up, and her breathing became somewhat hurried.
