Before, the most he had ever done was hold her arm, a world away from the present situation.

Initially, under the influence of alcohol, she had been somewhat muddled and infatuated. Being saved by her master also gave her an immense sense of security. Now, she was especially clingy as she lay in his embrace.

Even the slightly sweaty scent on his body now seemed pleasant to her. She even sneakily moved her head into his armpit and inhaled deeply. Am I a bit of a pervert? she wondered.

This huge shift in her mood was why Sun Dasheng wondered, Why has my apprentice changed so much all of a sudden?

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your master," Sun Dasheng chided her, then carried her, still wrapped up, to her room.

He pushed open the door to a sea of pink. Various exquisite figurines filled the shelves along the wall. The bed was also a pink princess bed.

Who would have thought that the usually carefree Jia Nai had such a tender side?

Everything in the room was pink.

He laid her on the bed and was about to cover her with the blanket when she unexpectedly grabbed his hand and gave it a strong pull.

THUD.

Sun Dasheng, completely caught off guard, was pulled onto the bed.

After that...

A scream pierced the air.

"OUCH!!!"

"Master, your teeth hit my lip."

"That really hurts!"

"Serves you right. Who told you to pull a stunt like that?"

"I don't care, Master, you have to compensate me!"

"Compensate you for what?"

"Compensate me with... Mmph..."

...

Faced with one provocation after another, he decided that was the last straw. He threw all thoughts of her being his apprentice, of morals and propriety, out the window.

I've been too careless, Ouyang Jiani thought. I shouldn't have provoked my master like this. When people are pushed to the brink, they often do crazy things. The craziest thing now was that she felt like she couldn't breathe, reminding her of when she had fainted in the bathroom. Crazy, thrilling, and even a bit stimulating... What is going on?

Then, things took an unpredictably dangerous turn.

Eh?

This is different from what I imagined.

She had read plenty of racy stories and had gleaned knowledge from short videos. Isn't it said that a woman's first time is supposed to be very painful? Why didn't she feel any pain at all? In fact, it was quite comfortable.

Could it be that Master is being especially considerate?

With her eyes closed and her face blushing, Ouyang Jiani silently praised her master. She clamped her legs tightly, letting her master continue.

After it was over, she asked with a red face, "Master, why was that different from what I've seen?"

Sun Dasheng, utterly exhausted now that it was finally over, glanced at her irritably. "How could it be the same as what you saw when I didn't even go inside?"

"Ah?" Ouyang Jiani lightly covered her mouth. "If it's already this comfortable without you going inside, wouldn't I be soaring if you did?"

"What are you thinking about?" Sun Dasheng tapped her head lightly. "You've only just recovered a little. Your body is still too weak for vigorous activity, so I just stayed on the outside."

"If I had actually gone in, you wouldn't be feeling like this right now."

"What would it be like then?" Ouyang Jiani asked with childlike curiosity.

"What would it be like? Heh... you wouldn't even be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Hearing her master's words, Ouyang Jiani found them too exaggerated to believe. "I've seen movies where one actress takes on several men and it's no big deal."

"Heh... movies? You know they're just movies, right? It's all an act. What on earth is going on in that little head of yours?"

"Ouch..." Her head was tapped a few more times.

"Master, if you keep tapping my head, I'll turn stupid, and you'll have to take responsibility," Ouyang Jiani pouted.

"Alright, hurry up and sleep. Your body is still so weak, I'm surprised you have the energy to talk." Sun Dasheng cradled her in his arms like a kitten, forbidding her from speaking anymore.

After all the night's twists and turns, Ouyang Jiani was indeed tired. Within minutes, she fell into a deep sleep in Sun Dasheng's arms.

It's no wonder Sun Dasheng had to force her to sleep. Her state just a moment ago was like a novice driver with a new car. Once they hit the road, they can drive all day feeling energized, getting more exhilarated the longer they drive. Unbeknownst to them, their bodies are actually exhausted; it's just their minds that remain in a state of excitement. Without a seasoned driver beside them to give a warning, someone in that state could easily get into an accident. With an experienced driver like Sun Dasheng beside her, however, he could force her to rest.

The fact that she fell into a deep sleep within minutes just proved how exhausted her body truly was.

He held her and watched her for a few minutes. Seeing no other issues, Sun Dasheng finally turned off the light and went to sleep.

「The next day.」

Looking at Ouyang Jiani still sleeping soundly beside him, Sun Dasheng stared at the system panel and fell into deep thought.

Have I been neglecting the system lately? Wine and women have ensnared me. From this day forward, I'll abstain from alcohol.

DING!

The long-absent voice of the system rang out.

*The number of supporting characters has reached ten. Initiating a new round of system updates...*

Then, a progress bar appeared:

*1%... 10%... 50%... 99%...*

It stalled at 99% for a good while before finally reaching 100%.

Then, his vision went black, and he passed out. His last conscious thought was a flicker of relief that the update had happened while he was in bed.

"Master, Master... Wake up..."

Sun Dasheng was awakened by the voice in his ears.

When he opened his eyes again, his first reaction was:

Who am I?
