"I didn't do it with Master yet."

Veia answered Floriana Sabina as she continued staring right into her eyes.

"You didn't?"

Floriana Sabina's lifeless eyes slowly lit up as hope appeared inside her heart. She peered into Veia's eyes and tried to discern if she was lying or not.

"Of course not. I... I don't want to disappoint Master."

Veia answered. She knew that even if Rant Valo gives her the okay signal now, he would one day be disappointed in her. What if her Master never cultivated again and just wanted to do it with her? That would be against her Master's goals. He would never reach the peak of cultivation if that happened.

"Then, what happened down there?"

Floriana Sabina couldn't help but ask. She became downcast as she realized that they may have done something else.

"Master is still a virgin as ever. Except for his first kiss that you stole."

Veia replied candidly. A smirk formed on her face at the end of her words.

"I-I see."

Floriana Sabina's face went beet red at the mention of her stealing Rant Valo's first kiss. Although, deep inside she felt a little bit pleased about it.

"Though, I'm disappointed in you, Grandmaster."

Veia's face turned into a frown.

"Why? Is it because I stole his first kiss?"

Floriana Sabina furrowed her eyebrows together. That was the only reason she could think that Veia would be mad at her.

"No. But because you didn't stop me earlier. What if I truly lost control of myself and did it with Master? What happened to your words that he should focus on cultivation?! Was that all just a lie?!! DO YOU REALLY WANT MASTER TO REACH THE PEAK OF CULTIVATION OR NOT!?"

Veia was panting as she angrily questioned Floriana Sabina. She trusted her that she would truly take care of her Master, but when the time came for Floriana Sabina to do her duty, she didn't do anything! It was like she forgot that she was even Rant Valo's master.

"I... I thought he'll be happier if he does it with you."

Floriana Sabina looked down. She herself was confused about what she was doing.

"No! Grandmaster, you know that in the end, Master would not be able to achieve anything if he gets addicted to doing it with me. That's because I'm a succubus! If he truly does it with me, he'll be craving it every second. My Master will love me more and yearn for me more, but I don't want that! I want my master to be strong enough to resist the power of this cursed body that I don't even want! I want him to love me with his true self..."

Veia's words were long and her face was already tearing up. In the end, she couldn't hold back her tears at the end of her speech. Her tears began to flow down like an unstoppable waterfall. She was someone who had a dark past. She doesn't want this life to be dark too. If her Master lost himself then he would just be a shell of his past self. He won't be the same Master that she loves.

"I... But he looked so happy being with you..."

Floriana Sabina murmured with a disheartened face. She felt annoyed that Rant Valo was happier being with Veia so she decided to stop caring about what they would do together.

"That's not true! My master is also happy when he's with Grandmaster. You just don't want to accept it, because you don't want to fall in love with Master!"

Veia denied Floriana Sabina's words with a vehement shake of her head. She wiped her tears as she sniffed in her snot.

"But he's just a kid..."

Floriana Sabina answered softly.

"That doesn't matter! You are a cultivator, right? Shouldn't you care less about age?"

Veia answered forcefully. Her words were truths that hit deep into Floriana Sabina's heart. Floriana Sabina wasn't able to say anything in reply.

Why did she even worry about their age gap? In love, age is just a number. Was it because of their Master-Disciple Relationship? Floriana Sabina knew that there were stories of other cultivators that started as Master-Disciple first before they got together and reached the same cultivation stage before marrying.

What if Rant Valo also does the same? Floriana Sabina nurtures him to her level, then once they're on the same level...

Floriana Sabina suddenly stood up. She already got her answer.

"Veia, Thank you."

Floriana Sabina looked towards Veia gratefully. She had opened her eyes to a new possibility, to a new future with her disciple.

"I'm glad that I was able to convince you."

Veia wiped the tears on her face with a satisfied smile. She did it. Her Master and Grandmaster will finally get together. It made her want to scream in joy just imagining what would happen next.

"Mm."

Floriana Sabina nodded her head before walking towards the underground room. She had some disciplining to do.

"Disciple!"

Floriana Sabina shouted once she was inside the underground room.

"M-Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo shivered as he realized that he f*cked up. It wouldn't make sense that Veia would suddenly just stop. It had to be some sort of scheme!

"You failed your test!"

Floriana Sabina shouted in answer. She could only pretend that it was a test of his will and that she planned it with Veia.

"I knew it!"

Rant Valo gritted his teeth in frustration. It was all so fishy from the start. Why would Floriana Sabina not stop Veia? Why would Veia lure him here? It was all a trap! It was a surprise test by Floriana Sabina. He finally understood why she acted cold to him last night.

"What do you know? If you knew then you would have continued resisting!"

"Ow! Ow!"

Floriana Sabina smacked Rant Valo two times on the head with her fan. She was upset that her disciple even dared to give up his resistance.

"Forgive me, Master Floriana!"

Rant Valo retreated to the corner of the room in fear. She looked genuinely angered this time. Who knows what she would do with him? She may even castrate him! His little brother will never find a little sister if that happened!
