Hearing Song Cha’s words, Chu Man’s eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes: “Cha’er is really good.”
Chu Man slowly leaned towards Song Cha, kissed her on the cheek, and then slowly moved away.
Song Cha: “……”
Being kissed by Chu Man, Song Cha was a bit stunned.
This was completely different from what she had imagined. Why would Chu Man kiss her?
But after thinking about it, Song Cha still couldn’t figure it out.
Seeing Song Cha’s stunned look, Chu Man didn’t continue to do anything.
She picked up the exquisite teapot on the table, poured a cup of water into the teacup, and handed it to Song Cha: “Cha’er, have some tea.”
At this moment, Song Cha was still in a daze. Feeling the water Chu Man handed over, she subconsciously took it and took a sip.
As soon as the tea entered her mouth, Song Cha felt a refreshing sensation that inspired her spirit. Her previously dazed thoughts also snapped back to reality.
“Master… what were you… just now?” Song Cha looked at Chu Man somewhat conflicted, not understanding what she was trying to do.
Chu Man answered very casually: “I was just kissing you, is that not okay?”
Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha bit her lip, looking at Chu Man with some grievance: “Master can do whatever she wants.”
Seeing Song Cha looking like this, Chu Man couldn’t help but laugh: “Cha’er is really good.”
Song Cha: “……”
Being called good, Song Cha lowered her head and started to drink her tea.
This tea was really good, it must be top-grade spiritual tea, otherwise, it wouldn’t have such an effect.
Seeing Song Cha’s well-behaved appearance while drinking tea, Chu Man didn’t do much.
When she first saw Song Cha in the great hall, Chu Man was attracted by Song Cha’s appearance and temperament.
She, who never took anything to heart, suddenly took someone to heart at this moment, even wanting to develop a deeper relationship with her.
But… such a person wanted to become her disciple.
At that time, Chu Man had mixed feelings.
Song Cha wanting to become her disciple was somewhat a surprise for her. After all, wanting to become her disciple must mean having a good impression of her. But besides the surprise, she also felt a bit of reluctance.
In the cultivation world, lineage is very important, especially for righteous cultivators, the notion of a master-disciple romance is frowned upon.
So, Chu Man actually wanted to refuse Song Cha’s request to become her disciple, but… looking at Song Cha’s admiring eyes, Chu Man suddenly couldn’t bring herself to say no.
If… she refused Song Cha’s request to become her disciple, would Song Cha still admire her?
Would she end up hating her from then on?
Chu Man hesitated, and the fact that Song Cha said she was willing to pay any price to become her disciple was the last straw that made her agree to take Song Cha as her disciple.
Alright, since she hinted so much and Song Cha agreed without hesitation, it seems she has thought through what might happen.
Since Song Cha is not afraid of the master-disciple romance label, then she has nothing to fear either. There’s nothing in this world that Chu Man is truly afraid of.
Chu Man looked down, seeing the blush on the girl’s face, and couldn’t help feeling very pleased.
But… for now, it’s just a kiss on Song Cha’s face.
Although Chu Man is carefree, she also knows not to rush things with Song Cha, better to take it slow step by step. Otherwise, moving too fast might scare Song Cha.
After another glance at Song Cha’s shy appearance, Chu Man decided to give Song Cha some more free time.
“Cha’er, there’s nothing else here for your master, you can go back and rest first,” Chu Man said.
“Then, your disciple will take her leave first.”
After bidding farewell to Chu Man, Song Cha walked out of Chu Man’s cave and headed towards her own.
After returning to the cave, Song Cha began to ponder why Chu Man had kissed her just now.
Chu Man is a woman, so… kissing her probably doesn’t mean she likes her.
But why kiss her if it’s not because she likes her?
Thinking about this reason, Song Cha started to ponder in her heart.
And with that thought, Song Cha remembered the condition of Skin Hunger.
Skin Hunger is a psychological disorder where people feel the need to touch someone else’s skin.
Could it be… Chu Man is a sufferer of Skin Hunger? Is that why she kissed her?
And the price Chu Man mentioned on stage, was it to have frequent skin contact with her?
Song Cha thought Chu Man’s behavior as a sufferer of Skin Hunger and came to the correct conclusion.
It seems, Chu Man is indeed a sufferer of Skin Hunger.
Knowing the ‘real reason’ behind Chu Man’s actions, Song Cha felt relieved in her heart.
Such a price, Song Cha could afford to pay.
Since Chu Man likes skin contact, then as her disciple, she just needs to have more skin contact with her in the future.
Just a bit of skin contact, and to have such a powerful master, is totally worth it.
And… if she initiates contact with Chu Man, touching her skin more often, maybe Chu Man’s fondness for her will increase a lot.
Thinking about such a situation,
Song Cha’s mood improved significantly.
She decided to take the initiative to find Chu Man tomorrow and interact with her more.
Today, Song Cha didn’t use top-grade spirit stones for cultivation but directly absorbed the spiritual energy from the air.
Now, being in the core of the sect, the spiritual energy is rich. Although it’s not as fast as directly using spirit stones, her cultivation speed is still very fast.
When the dawn broke the next day, Song Cha once again knocked on the door of Chu Man’s cave dwelling.
Song Cha didn’t have to wait too long, as the door to Chu Man’s dwelling was quickly opened from the inside.
“Master.” Seeing Chu Man opening the door, Song Cha said.
“Cha’er is here.” Seeing Song Cha, Chu Man’s mood was evidently good, “Come in.”
Song Cha followed Chu Man into the cave dwelling.
The two sat in the same spots as the day before, and Chu Man picked up the teapot from the table to pour a cup of tea for Song Cha, handing it over to her.
Song Cha took the teacup but didn’t drink it, instead placing it directly on the table.
“Master.” Song Cha looked sincerely at Chu Man.
Chu Man was somewhat puzzled by Song Cha’s sincere gaze, not understanding what Song Cha was doing.
But before Chu Man could figure out what was happening, she felt something was off.
Song Cha’s hand reached out, slowly touching hers.
Chu Man: “!!!”
The moment Song Cha touched her hand, Chu Man was completely stunned.
Why was Song Cha nothing like what she had imagined?
No, that’s not the point.
The point was, Song Cha’s hand was really soft, so soft that Chu Man didn’t dare to move.
“Cha’er… you…” Chu Man’s voice turned hoarse.
