The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness

Chapter 59, The Disciple Need Not Be Inferior to the Master

Morning.

A faint mist enveloped the small village by the lake, as if it had yet to awaken, caught in a deep slumber of silence.

Occasionally, a bird would fly by in the distance, hastily departing in search of the warmth of the south before the chill of autumn arrived.

Everything was as usual, so serene.

A dignified young woman in a black and white maid outfit stepped into the village, treading on the morning dew.

“It can’t be wrong.”

An stood at the village entrance, her narrowed gaze sweeping over the small fishing village of just a few dozen households, her delicate nose twitching as if discerning something.

Finally, she declared with certainty:

“The young master has been here, and it was within the last few hours!”

“I’ve finally found you.”

A charming smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of An’s mouth. With the anticipation of reuniting with her beloved, she stepped into the village.

“Hmm?”

An suddenly turned her head, looking at an inconspicuous house.

In the depths of the darkened room behind the tightly shut window, where not even a sliver of light could penetrate, something seemed to stir.

But when her gaze fell upon it, all she saw through the dilapidated wooden window was an empty room, devoid of anything.

“Was that an illusion?”

An glanced at it but didn’t dwell on it further.

She was here to find her beloved young master; everything else was unimportant.

……

I love you.

……

“Knock, knock.”

From noble mtl dot com

Following her intuition, An arrived at the small courtyard of the house where the young master’s presence was the strongest, then knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

A familiar voice came from within the courtyard, still laced with sleepiness.

An paused for a moment before recognizing the owner of that voice, wondering if it was just a coincidence?

But before she could think much more, the door creaked open, revealing a newlywed woman who was still half-asleep, rubbing her eyes as she poked her head out:

“So early, what’s the matter?”

“Ailuka?”

“Hmm?”

Ailuka, who also heard the familiar voice, opened her eyes wide, and upon fully seeing the person before her, her sleepiness was instantly lifted by a large margin.

“Master!”

Ailuka exclaimed in surprise as she rushed over, grabbing An’s arm.

“How did you get here?”

“I…”

“Did you come to see me?”

Before An could answer, Ailuka continued with growing excitement.

“Hmm, strange, I don’t think I told Master the exact location of my home, just the general area of the village. How did Master find this place?”

I followed the young master’s scent.

An wanted to say this, but Ailuka was chattering away, so excited that she didn’t give An a chance to speak.

“Forget it, I won’t think about that. Master, come inside, it’s cold outside.”

“No, I just…”

“Hmm, it’s rare for Master to come over, can’t you at least come in and sit for a bit?”

Ailuka made a sad expression, pretending to squeeze out a couple of tears: “I’m so sad…”

“…”

An sighed, feeling a bit helpless.

Well, it wouldn’t hurt to take a little time.

“Alright then, I’ll sit for a bit, but only for a little while…”

“A little while is enough.”

Ailuka was overjoyed, pulling An into the house, chattering away like a spring sparrow all the way.

“Master, are you wearing a maid outfit? It’s so cute.”

“Master, you seem to have lost weight. Haven’t you been eating well lately?”

“Master, why did you come so early? Did you travel all night?”

“Master, you…”

……

Once inside, Ailuka forcibly sat An down, and An instinctively surveyed the entire room.

Sure enough, the young master’s scent was very strong; he had definitely stayed here!

And it was not long ago!

“Ailuka.”

“Hmm, does Master have something to say?”

Ailuka poked her head out from the kitchen, busy making tea.

“Here…”

An pondered her words.

“Have there been any guests recently?”

“Guests? Isn’t Master one?”

“No, I mean before me.”

“Before Master… you mean Mr. Mu’en?”

“Indeed, is he here?”

Joy erupted in An’s eyes; her two days of hard searching seemed finally to bear fruit.

Young master, this time, I will definitely not let you go.

An silently clenched her fist.

“Um, he was here last night, but he’s already left.”

“Left?”

“Yeah, maybe I scared him away.”

At this, Eluka blushed like a young girl, playfully pouting:

“It’s all Mr. Mu’en’s fault; who told him to peek into my bedroom in the middle of the night?”

“Peek into your bedroom?”

An’s breath caught.

Unconsciously, her clenched fist hardened.

Young master, clearly the door to my bedroom has never been closed at night, yet I never saw you peeking in.

Why peek into another woman’s bedroom?

Is it true that wildflowers smell sweeter than garden flowers?

“Ah, it’s not what you think, Master.”

As if sensing An’s thoughts, Eluka waved her hands anxiously, “Mr. Mu’en didn’t see anything inappropriate; he just saw me and my teacher playing a little game to enhance our feelings.”

“Teacher?”

Hearing this title, An couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, then quickly realized.

“Did you succeed?”

“Yeah, I succeeded!”

Eluka beamed a happy smile, her hands clasped behind her back, her toes gently brushing the ground as she shyly said:

“After being enlightened by Master two days ago, that very night, I confessed to Ade!”

“Is that so?”

—

An couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“How wonderful.”

An did not inquire about the outcome of the confession, nor did she ask about the entire process.

Because to her, those things were unimportant.

What mattered was the ability to completely possess everything about the person she loved, and for that, she would go to any lengths.

And now it seemed, the girl had succeeded.

However, the fact that her disciple had achieved the goal before her, the master, made An feel a bit annoyed.

It seemed that next time she found the young master, her methods would need to be a bit more intense.

“Ah, by the way, Master, would you like to come and take a look?”

Ailuka’s eyes lit up, excitedly clapping her hands:

“Come see the fruits of my hard work.”

“This…”

An had initially wanted to refuse, after all, she was still busy searching for the young master.

But she suddenly thought that such matters shouldn’t be done in isolation.

Although she was nominally the master, there was no harm in absorbing the experiences of others.

“Alright, let me take a look, Ailuka.”

……

“Ta-da! Master, look, this is my most, most, most beloved husband!”

Inside the room, Ailuka introduced her carefully “trained” lover, who still crawled on the ground like a pet dog, as if unveiling something of great significance.

“Oh, so this is how it works? Quite interesting.”

What an eye-opener.

An looked at the man, who wore a collar and was dressed only in simple underwear, without showing any signs of surprise. Instead, she thoughtfully stroked her chin and praised:

“Well done, Ailuka.”

“Hehe, I’m afraid I’m still far from matching Master.”

After receiving the compliment, Ailuka shyly scratched her head.

“I think if it were Master, she would definitely make her lover completely submit, both in body and spirit.”
