Chu Ge merely smiled at the words; such a mild rebuke naturally had no effect on him.
"What this Disciple said comes from the bottom of his heart."
"With Master's peerless beauty, there must have been countless suitors in the past."
Chu Ge's seemingly casual remark was, in fact, an attempt to learn more about Luo Huangjun's past.
"There have been none, only some blind flies."
Luo Huangjun spoke after a brief silence.
As time passed, she gradually grew accustomed to Chu Ge's intense gaze, and the blush on her cheeks faded considerably.
Seeing the look of confusion on Chu Ge's face, Luo Huangjun paused, then spoke again.
"Those with ill intentions either ended up crippled or dead."
As she said this, a cold glint flashed in Luo Huangjun's eyes.
With her peerless beauty, she naturally encountered foolish and blind individuals when she was young.
These people dared to scheme against her even after knowing her extraordinary background.
Facing these individuals with various motives who tried to approach her, Luo Huangjun's method of dealing with them was extremely simple and crude: she often just drew her sword and attacked.
Those with some strength and background could preserve their lives; those without, naturally, met a dead end.
As such incidents became more frequent, naturally, fewer people dared to approach her, for compared to beauty, one's life and property were far more important.
Therefore, in Luo Huangjun's eyes, these people were no different from annoying flies and certainly could not be considered suitors.
From Luo Huangjun's words, Chu Ge understood that his aloof Master was, in fact, a true virgin.
"It's a bit regrettable that someone of Master's unparalleled grace hasn't even had a single decent suitor."
Chu Ge spoke as if in contemplation, his gaze still fixed on Luo Huangjun.
"Hmph, what's there to regret?"
Luo Huangjun scoffed with disdain.
"Why don't this Disciple become the first one then...?"
Luo Huangjun's expression instantly froze, her eyes suddenly trembling violently.
For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard?
What did she hear?
Could such words be spoken in front of her?
'This, this, this, this Disciple! Does he even know what he's saying?!'
This is a confession, right? This must be a confession?!
It's fine if you think it in your heart or write it in your diary, but now you're saying it directly to me, your Master?
Disciple, are you finally unable to resist making a move on your Master?
'How can he be so rebellious, so shameless! I am your Master!'
Luo Huangjun could no longer maintain her composure, shouting inwardly.
The blush that had gradually faded returned with visible speed, quickly spreading across her pristine face, even more intense than before.
Luo Huangjun felt her thoughts were as chaotic as tangled threads at this moment.
Chu Ge's sudden words truly caught her off guard, to the point where her brain couldn't process them, leaving her feeling utterly bewildered.
"If Master doesn't speak, this Disciple will take it as an affirmation."
Chu Ge was not in a hurry, merely gazing at Luo Huangjun with a smile.
He even had time to catch Luo Huangjun's wandering gaze, actively meeting her eyes.
When their gazes met, Luo Huangjun would often quickly avert her eyes, like a startled rabbit.
"You... you, stop talking nonsense, I... I, your Master, will assume you've lost your mind. Don't do this again next time!"
Luo Huangjun uttered these disjointed words with great stiffness.
Her voice no longer held its usual coolness, but was filled with tremors caused by agitated emotions. Chu Ge could even sense the strong panic within it.
"Master, look into my eyes. Do I look like I've lost my mind?"
Chu Ge gave Luo Huangjun no time to breathe.
He leaned closer to Luo Huangjun.
There was originally about an arm's length between them, but now that Chu Ge moved, the distance was reduced to mere inches, almost pressing them together.
So close, both could already feel the warmth of each other's breath.
Although Luo Huangjun was also very tall, about 1.75 meters according to her previous world's measurements.
But Chu Ge was even taller, and now, with a forceful posture, he leaned forward, completely blocking Luo Huangjun's view.
Now, no matter how the aloof Taihuang Holy Master tried to shift her gaze, it was useless.
Because at this moment, in Luo Huangjun's field of vision, only Chu Ge remained, and only he could be there.
Forcefully occupying Luo Huangjun's entire field of vision, a smile involuntarily hung on Chu Ge's lips.
He looked at his Master's constantly trembling pupils and spoke again: "Master, how is it? Does this Disciple look even slightly like he's lost his mind?"
Luo Huangjun stared at Chu Ge's bright, intelligent eyes; she could have chosen to lower her head and not look.
But at this point, what was the point of burying her head like an ostrich?
Moreover, there was no guarantee that Chu Ge wouldn't make even more outrageous, more rebellious moves because of it.
"You..."
Luo Huangjun was not good with words to begin with, and her mind was a jumbled mess, so she truly didn't know how to answer Chu Ge.
"I... I, your Master, say you have, then you have. You cannot disobey me, I am your Master..."
She helplessly chose to give up, resorting to childishness.
By the end, Luo Huangjun's words lacked much conviction.
Because she found that she had emphasized her identity as Master multiple times in front of Chu Ge, but Chu Ge had never restrained himself because of it.
Not only that, he often became even more audacious.
Just like now, Luo Huangjun could even see that when she uttered the words 'Master,' Chu Ge's already fervent gaze grew even more intense.
It was as if the identity of Master, for Chu Ge, was not a taboo, but rather fuel that fanned his flames.
"Master is joking. How could this Disciple defy you?"
Chu Ge heard this and smiled casually, his forward-leaning body slightly receding.
The two were no longer as close as they had been just moments before, almost pressed together.
A tightening and loosening, a pulling back and letting go.
Chu Ge knew that pressing too hard was not a good thing; with proper tension and relaxation, he could better control the overall situation and keep his aloof Master in check.
Seeing that Chu Ge was not as aggressive as before, a hint of relief flashed in Luo Huangjun's eyes.
She also let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart, truly fearing that Chu Ge would do something even more outrageous. At that point, she would only have one option.
Running away might be shameful, but it was effective.
If she couldn't handle Chu Ge, she could at least run, right?
Although being forced to flee in disarray by her Disciple would damage her Master's dignity.
But Luo Huangjun felt that her Master's authority had already been shattered almost completely in front of Chu Ge.
However, at the same time as her relief, a sense of apology towards Chu Ge uncontrollably arose in Luo Huangjun's heart.
'Will doing this hurt him?'
Luo Huangjun began to blame herself for her recent actions.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt she was wrong.
Even Chu Ge's smile at the corner of his lips now seemed to carry a bitter taste in her eyes.
