Chapter 65: So Much Like Love

"Is what Young Master Xuanyuan said true? Has Xiao Qi really become a disciple of Kunlun?" Ji Yun still found it hard to believe.

If Xuanyuan Ji was truly willing to take Xiao Qi in, that would be wonderful! The problem that had been troubling him for so long would be solved at last.

In the future, when Xuanyuan Ji brought Xiao Qi back to Kunlun, even if she was a girl, what could Beiming Yu do? Would he dare to storm Kunlun and snatch her away?

"Now that Yin’er is my disciple, in this world, no one but I, Xuanyuan Ji, may touch her." Xuanyuan Ji’s words rang out with an unshakable firmness that brooked no doubt.

Ji Yin’s heart trembled once again.

"Great Demon, Xuanyuan Ji’s feelings for you seem awfully like love," the voice of the Demon Cauldron sounded in Ji Yin’s mind.

"Xiao Qi, from now on, you must always listen to Young Master Xuanyuan and mustn’t be disobedient, understand?" Ji Yun immediately instructed Ji Yin.

"It’s all right. If she’s disobedient again, I’ll be the one to punish her."

Ji Yin: ...

When did she become Xuanyuan Ji’s disciple? She didn’t even know herself.

Was no one going to ask her opinion?

"Great Demon, you don’t want to? I think it’s pretty good!"

"Of course I want to! Who said I didn’t? At the very least, with the identity of a Kunlun disciple, even Beiming Yu wouldn’t dare lay a finger on me."

Ji Yin and the Demon Cauldron conversed in their minds.

"Come with me and continue learning the heart method," Xuanyuan Ji lowered his head and instructed Ji Yin.

"Okay." Ji Yin nodded and followed behind Xuanyuan Ji.

Her obedient demeanor nearly brought tears to Ji Yun’s eyes as he watched Xuanyuan Ji and Ji Yin leave.

"Father, is Xiao Qi really going to join Kunlun?" Ji Shaowen couldn’t help but ask.

"Of course! That’s exactly what we hoped for."

"Why do I feel that Young Master Xuanyuan’s intentions toward Xiao Qi aren’t entirely pure?"

"What nonsense are you imagining? Xiao Qi is now a boy. Even Xuanyuan Ji can’t see through your elder brother’s face-changing technique," Ji Yun said, quite confident in his eldest son’s skill.

"Isn’t that exactly why we should be worried? If she were a girl, there’d be nothing to fear," Ji Shaowen added.

Ji Yun kicked him, "At your age, what kind of ridiculous things are you filling your head with all day long!"

...

Ji Yin followed Xuanyuan Ji back to his residence, where the aroma of roast chicken greeted her.

The Scarlet Flame Mink was already sprawled on the steps, drooling as it waited for Ji Yin and Xuanyuan Ji to return.

Wuyan had been silent the entire way.

He still couldn’t accept that his master had taken Ji Yin as a disciple.

Master even said something about Kunlun disciples being unencumbered by worldly things. When did that become a rule? He didn’t recall any such restriction.

Master had been acting so strangely lately, almost as if he’d become a different person.

Could he be ill?

"Wuyan, prepare the meal," Xuanyuan Ji instructed the absent-minded Wuyan.

At the dining table, Xuanyuan Ji placed two chicken drumsticks into Ji Yin’s bowl, as naturally as if he’d done so countless times before.

Ji Yin gazed at the two glistening drumsticks, her heart a tangled mess.

"I took you as my disciple without your permission. Are you willing?" Xuanyuan Ji asked softly, his eyes meeting hers.

Ji Yin met those dazzling eyes, and her mind suddenly grew chaotic.

"Great Demon, Xuanyuan Ji looks just like he’s proposing to you right now! If you say you’re willing, you could get married on the spot!"

"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll seal you away!"

Ji Yin’s expression was troubled, not because Xuanyuan Ji had asked for her consent, but because the Demon Cauldron was disrupting her thoughts!

Damn it, getting married on the spot, and going straight to the wedding chamber!
