Master, I've grown up

After two years, Xia Qingyue was no longer a little girl. She had grown taller, her lustrous black hair cascading like silk to her bottom. Her purple robe was drawing the outline of a body that was so perfectly curved and proportioned in every single way that it caused one to gasp in astonishment, the proud curves of her breasts and buttocks were barely concealed by her loose robe.

Her skin was white and immaculate as the finest jade, and her features possessed such transcendent beauty that they surpassed even the most divine celestial beings, completely eclipsing any fantasy one could ever dare to imagine.

She was, in every sense, the epitome of a kingdom-toppling beauty. Her beauty was so overwhelming it could shatter the rationality of any man, reducing them to mindless slaves of desire. Perhaps only Shen Xi or Qianye Ying'er could rival her in terms of beauty.

*This is the first time I've put so much effort into describing a character.*

"Qingyue?" Even though Yun Wuji had grown accustomed to seeing her daily, her appearance still sent him into a trance for a split moment. He frowned slightly and asked, his tone carrying a hint of surprise. Why was she here?

"I couldn't sleep, so I decided to take a stroll in the moonlight," Xia Qingyue took a few graceful steps, getting closer to him, and leaned forward until her ample chest nearly touched his, and said with a smile, "Did you just come back from Junior brother's wedding?"

"Yeah, Yun Che had already started a family," Yun Wuji nodded his head, his eyes were as if pulled by an invisible force to look at her busty mounds, he quickly averted his gaze trying to keep his dignity as a master and added, "Before I knew it, all off already became adults."

"Yes, Master! We're no longer kids!" Xia Qingyue's smile widened as she winked at him meaningfully.

She stepped closer, moving gracefully to his side. Slipping her arm through his, she leaned lightly on his shoulder. "Master, accompany me for a walk~"

".." Yun Wuji hesitated for a moment. He had been planning to visit his wife, Jun Lianqie, and perhaps invite his other wives to join the fun. However, after a brief pause, he reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright."

Xia Qingyue was still holding his arm, leaning lightly against him as she led him toward the lake not far away. The lake was surrounded by cherry blossoms, and a small wooden bridge arched over it.

As they crossed the bridge, towering trees loomed overhead, their branches heavy with pink blossoms, creating a canopy that seemed to stretch into the sky.

Standing in the middle of the bridge, Yun Wuji suddenly asked, "You came back quickly this time. Did you deal with the Ocean Beast Clan?"

Over the past two years, Yun Wuji spared no effort to scavenge all the profound crystals across the three continents to raise his cultivation. After depleting all the available crystals there, he set his sights on the largest region of the planet—the ocean. Covering 97% of the planet, it was only natural that the sea would hold more resources than the land.

At regular intervals, he would send his subordinates to explore the ocean.

With rewards like Overlord Pellets, Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins, newly developed Monarch Pellets, and many other valuable treasures, the twelve Guardian families and the three Sacred Grounds were more eager than he was to explore the ocean, hoping to earn contributions that could be exchanged for these items.

After all, to maintain an organization, it is essential to have a system of rewards and punishments. Without it, he wouldn't be able to drive those under him through fear and authority alone.

"...I am sorry, Master, I couldn't. A strong dragon was helping them, he called himself the Eternal_Dragon_God." Hearing his inquiry, Xia Qingyue let go of his arm and lowered her head, apologizing. She was deeply ashamed for disappointing her master's trust in her.

Xia Qingyue had reached the Overlord realm at the age of 13, with the help of both the Emperor Awakening Heart Pellet and the Overlord Pellet. Now, she was already a 3rd-level Monarch, making her the youngest Monarch in the history of the planet.

Yun Wuji sighed. Although she was incredibly strong, she was still young, and her mentality could easily be shaken, especially since her Heart of Snow Glazed Glass still hadn't awakened yet.

"Don't be so sad. It is in human nature to make mistakes and face failures," he said, patting Xia Qingyue's head to cheer her up and lift her spirits. With a proud tone, he added, "Look at me, even I, with my almost frightening genius, unparalleled and unprecedented in the past or future, still make mistakes sometimes."

Xia Qingyue remained silent for a moment, her body trembling faintly. Just as Yun Wuji began to wonder if his attempt to cheer her up had failed, she suddenly raised her head and burst into laughter. "Pfft! Hahaha! Sorry, Master, but I couldn't resist!"

Yun Wuji paused for a moment, then smiled. He then pretended to be angry and began to tickle her: "Damn! You dare to laugh at your master! Watch how I teach you a lesson!"

"Hahahaha! Stop! I am sorry! Hahahaha! I'm dying! I'm going to die from laughter, stop! Hahaha~" Xia Qingyue curled her body and laughed uncontrollably while begging for mercy.

...

After playing around for a while, Xia Qingyue wiped a small tear from the corner of her eye. Raising her head, she looked directly at him, her voice soft and sincere as she said, "Master, thank you for everything you've done for Qingyue. Qingyue will always be grateful for your presence in her life."

"Hmm?" Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow and casually tapped her forehead with his two fingers: "Why are you being so serious? I am your master, it is only normal for me to care for you and look after you."

"...Right... Qingyue is Master's disciple," Xia Qingyue said softly, falling silent for a long time before continuing. After an even longer pause, she finally spoke again. "Master, Qingyue has grown up. I am no longer a child."

"That's right, you have grown up, all of you have grown up," Yun Wuji was surprised by her words. He felt that she was trying to say something, as he replied, "Especially you, you haven't disappointed my hopes for you."

"Hmm," Xia Qingyue let out a soft sound as she nodded. With her hands behind her back, she stepped on the ground with light steps, turning around before facing him again: "Say, master, you always said that flat women aren't women in your eyes. I am considered a woman in your eyes right now?"

"Why are you asking something like this?" Yun Wuji wasn't dense like certain isekai Japanese main characters, he could see where this was going from a million miles away.

"Am I not?" Xia Qingyue whispered, her voice tinged with sadness.

"No, you are, Qingyue. You've grown up into a very, very beautiful woman. If you are not considered a woman, then in this universe there are only makeup monsters," Yun Wuji said sincerely.

"Really?!" Xia Qingyue raised her head, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you?" Yun Wuji nodded, his expression serious.

"Then... then," Xia Qingyue took a step closer, her feet soft on the ground as she gently took his hand. She placed it on her full chest, looking up at him with a slightly nervous yet determined expression. "Can I be your woman too?"

"Qingyue, I've known about your feelings for a long time, but are you sure about this?" Yun Wuji didn't act like a hypocrite. He let her hold his hand, enjoying the soft sensation and asked with a serious expression.

"Of course! In my life, I've doubted and hesitated over many choices, but not this one. I love Master more than anything!" Xia Qingyue declared firmly, her gaze locked onto his as her voice carried unwavering determination.

"..." Honestly, this was probably the first time someone had confessed to him so earnestly, even Huan Caiyi's confession hadn't been this impactful. Yun Wuji was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond to such a heartfelt declaration. After a long, deep breath, he gently pulled his hand away from Xia Qingyue's grasp.

"???" Xia Qingyue was stunned and terrified by his action. Did this mean he was rejecting her? Just as her mind raced with worry, she suddenly felt two strong arms wrap firmly around her, pulling her into a warm embrace.

"Your feelings have reached me, and I will sincerely accept them," Yun Wuji said in a soft, low tone, lowering his head to meet her gaze with his deep, dark eyes.

"Master!" Xia Qingyue's eyes widened, and soon they turned red as tears of happiness began to stream down her cheeks.

"Don't cry; you're no longer a child," Yun Wuji chuckled, gently wiping her tears away with his thumb.

"Hmm," Xia Qingyue nodded and reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck. Rising onto her toes, she brought her face closer to his, their lips just a few centimeters apart. Then, tilting her head slightly, she closed the distance and locked her lips with his.
