The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

we didn’t see anything today, understand?”

    Although the cultivation world doesn't prohibit the love between masters and disciples, it still wasn’t highly encouraged.

    Whether it was the Mistress who is cold on the surface and gentle at heart, or the innocent and lovely Nie Zhen'er who hasn’t been exposed to the real world, they both shouldn't be misunderstood.

    “En, I understand, Senior Sister Gan Yun.” Hui Meng Tong nodded.

    Within Luscious Spring Hall

     Because Nie Zhen’er was a lightweight, after drinking two glasses of spirit wine, her cheeks became flushed and her eyes misty.

    Luan Qing Xiao pressed her forehead against Nie Zhen'er's forehead to test her temperature, it felt a little hot.
Therefore, she took the wine glass from Nie Zhen'er.

    After Nie Zhen'er got drunk, her senses were sluggish.
She clumsily hugged Luan Qing Xiao's arm and nuzzled her cheek on the soft fabric as she muttered softly.
“Mistress, my head is so dizzy.”

    “Little drunkard, you’re not allowed to drink anymore in the future.” Luan Qing Xiao flicked her perky little nose.

    Luan Qing Xiao supported Nie Zhen'er to the ta and whispered softly.
“Good Zhen'er, take a good night's sleep.
When you wake up, Mistress will give you your gift.”

    Nie Zhen'er hugged Luan Qing Xiao's arm and refused to let go.
“I need Mistress to hold me to sleep.”

    “Alright, Mistress will hold you to sleep.” Luan Qing Xiao stroked Nie Zhen'er's back and coaxed her.

    With a sweet smile on the corners of Nie Zhen'er's mouth, her breathing gradually eased.

    Whenever she is with Nie Zhen'er, time always flies quickly.

    Before she knew it, it was already dark.

    All the candles in the hall were lit, emitting a warm halo.

    Nie Zhen'er had a sweet dream and was reluctant when she woke up.

    In her dream, Mistress wasn’t her Mistress, but her Dao companion.
The two stayed together all day, cultivating together and traveling together with birds singing in the background.
It was so beautiful that Nie Zhen'er wanted to enter this dreamscape again when she opened her eyes.

    Unfortunately, Luan Qing Xiao didn't give her the chance.

    Luan Qing Xiao helped the lazy Nie Zhen'er to lean against her, “Zhen'er, I want to give you a birthday present, wake up.”

    When Nie Zhen'er heard the word “present”, some of the mist disappeared from her dim eyes.
She exclaimed with interest, “What present? Mistress, quickly give it to me~”

    Luan Qing Xiao took out a snow-white porcelain bottle and retrieved a light blue pill from it.

    Nie Zhen'er pouted, “I don't want to take medicine.”

    “It's not medicine, this is a Foundation Building Pill.
After eating it, you will be able to successfully reach Foundation Building tomorrow.” Luan Qing Xiao explained patiently.

    Nie Zhen'er's eyes lit up, “Foundation Building tomorrow? I’ll eat it.” Mistress promised that she would give her a spiritual weapon after she entered Foundation Building, which she still remembered.

    Nie Zhen'er picked up the Foundation Building Pill and popped it into her mouth without hesitation.

    The pill immediately melted in her mouth as the feeling of coldness spread from her mouth to her whole body.
Nie Zhen'er closed her eyes and shuddered, “Mistress, I'm so cold.”

    Luan Qing Xiao embraced Nie Zhen'er from behind.
“Don't be afraid, Mistress is here to accompany you.”

    “Let your Qi circulate that coolness.”

    Nie Zhen'er subconsciously followed Luan Qing Xiao's words.

    All the Qi within 100 meters of Luscious Spring Temple was quickly attracted by Nie Zhen'er, scrambling to drill into her meridians.

    The outer disciples who stayed outside the Luscious Spring Hall at night also felt the Qi abnormality, but they didn't dare to check the interior of Luscious Spring Hall.
They could only take the opportunity to cultivate and absorb more at this time when the Qi was this extraordinary dense.

    As the night turned bright, the misty aura in Nie Zhen'er's body was compressed into a raindrop shape, representing her success in breaking through Foundation Building.

    Nie Zhen'er slowly opened her eyes.
She turned her head and saw Luan Qing Xiao's face as she happily rushed into her arms and tightly hugged her.
“Mistress, I’ve entered Foundation Building!”

    “Zhen’er worked hard.” Luan Qing Xiao was also extremely happy and gently touched the top of her head.

    “How can I feel tired when Mistress isn’t tired from guarding me all night? Mistress, you’re so kind to Zhen'er.
Since Zhen'er has nothing to pay you back…”

    Luan Qing Xiao automatically popped out the next sentence in her mind: I can only repay through my body
