Lin Xinyi looked at Bai Qianqian, who had gradually fallen into a deep sleep.
She gently placed her back on the bed and tenderly covered her with the quilt before walking over to the table.
Although Luo Qingyao knew Bai Qianqian was faking it, she was still worried about the injury on the girl’s shoulder.
After all, it was a real wound.
She was not like Lin Xinyi; seeing Bai Qianqian hurt made her heart ache, whereas Lin Xinyi felt quite differently.
‘What is this? She actually shows such an expression. How fragile~’
Lin Xinyi leisurely enjoyed the other woman’s fragile appearance.
It could even serve as tea-time gossip after some wine.
Looking at her pain might even give Lin Xinyi good dreams tonight.
Bai Qianqian looked like a defenseless small animal.
After Lin Xinyi reached out to wipe a tear from the corner of the girl’s eye, she slowly brewed a cup of clear tea for herself.
‘Sigh, this life is quite wonderful~’
Lin Xinyi calmly took out the tea she had brought from the Grotto-heaven, intending to brew a cup and relax.
However, a jasmine-like fragrance suddenly filled the room.
‘Strange, this scent is quite refreshing and intoxicating. Where is it coming from?’
Lin Xinyi put the tea leaves back on the table and followed the scent, discovering a small incense burner had suddenly appeared by the side of the table.
‘This wasn’t here before?’
Lin Xinyi looked at the incense burner.
It was small and cute, emitting faint spiritual light — clearly a dharma treasure.
She slowly opened the lid and found a single piece of incense burning, with white smoke drifting out.
‘Could this be Bai Qianqian’s doing too?’
Lin Xinyi was puzzled, but her eyes suddenly felt heavy.
She stood up unsteadily and shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
‘What’s going on? Is there something wrong with this white smoke?’
Lin Xinyi’s guard rose sharply.
She forced herself to stay conscious and kicked the incense burner over, but the feeling of exhaustion did not fade.
Instead, it became even harder to control.
“Luo Qingyao! Is this your doing again?!”
Lin Xinyi’s limbs felt weak, a sensation very similar to her previous symptoms.
After walking only a few steps, she lost all strength and slumped to the floor.
Luo Qingyao, who had been focused on Bai Qianqian, was startled by the noise behind her.
She turned and saw Lin Xinyi lying motionless on the ground.
“Hey, why are you lying there? No sleeping on the floor…”
Luo Qingyao kicked her and realized she could actually touch Lin Xinyi.
Surprised, she grabbed Lin Xinyi’s collar and confirmed that she could indeed make physical contact.
‘Oh, this is…’
Luo Qingyao looked down and saw the blood-red magic circle on Lin Xinyi’s ring was dim.
Lin Xinyi had clearly failed to inject spiritual energy into it before losing consciousness.
The moment Luo Qingyao realized she could touch her, her gaze turned sinister.
She thought this might be a chance to get rid of the woman for good.
‘A Nascent Soul cultivator… if I refine her, I might be able to reconstruct my physical body…’
As she thought this, her hand moved toward Lin Xinyi’s neck.
It was risky; Lin Xinyi might wake up if her life was threatened, but this was her only chance.
Just as Luo Qingyao decided she had to act immediately, a familiar voice came from behind.
Bai Qianqian stood there quietly, covering her nose and mouth with a towel.
“Sister Luo, can you step aside for a moment~”
“!!!”
Luo Qingyao was instantly pulled from her thoughts.
Seeing Lin Xinyi unconscious on the ground, Luo Qingyao backed away several steps.
Her previous thought had been terrifying.
She had been so impulsive, wanting to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator; if she had failed, she would have dragged Bai Qianqian down with her.
“I’m sorry, Qianqian. I was impulsive, it’s just…”
Luo Qingyao felt guilty and was about to apologize, but when she looked up, Bai Qianqian was already gone.
Then a voice came from behind her again.
When she turned around, Bai Qianqian’s fingers were already resting on those legs covered in black silk.
Her eyes held an irrepressible excitement, as if she were about to taste a delicacy.
Luo Qingyao swallowed her apology.
She sighed, knowing this was how things would go.
‘Forget it, I’ll just wait on the side…’
Luo Qingyao planned to be the third wheel as usual and wait for the girl to finish, but then she remembered Lin Xinyi’s many misdeeds.
Thinking of the young girls in the Cave Abode who should have been geniuses but were being crushed by Lin Xinyi — and how Lin Xinyi felt no remorse for it — Luo Qingyao clenched her fists.
‘Damn it, isn’t this the perfect chance to punish this woman…’
A risky idea formed in Luo Qingyao’s mind.
As the thought took hold, she felt as if she were being driven mad by its audacity.
‘To protect Bai Qianqian, isn’t there a more suitable candidate right here…’
Luo Qingyao walked behind Bai Qianqian.
Lin Xinyi was now like a fish on a cutting board.
Her clothes were being slowly peeled back, revealing her exquisite figure.
The sensation of touching her made Bai Qianqian reluctant to let go.
“Qianqian…”
“I’m not leaving, Sister Luo…”
Bai Qianqian thought Luo Qingyao was trying to convince her to run.
Without looking up, she pulled off Lin Xinyi’s white boots.
Holding the feet covered in black silk, she savored the sensation against her palms.
Bai Qianqian could think of nothing else.
Lin Xinyi was wicked, but this top-tier body was addictive to the touch.
The sight of this “high and mighty fairy” sleeping defenselessly, ready to be ruined, was intoxicating.
“I’m not advising you to leave. Qianqian, don’t you want to possess her completely?~”
Luo Qingyao’s words were like a beacon in the dark.
Bai Qianqian, who had been about to taste the black silk, froze and looked up.
“Sister Luo?!”
There was confusion in Bai Qianqian’s voice, as if she couldn’t believe Luo Qingyao would say such a thing.
But as their eyes met, they understood each other perfectly without a word.
“I want… I want Master to be unable to leave me. I want to possess Master completely. I want everything of hers to be mine!”
In just one or two days, Bai Qianqian’s dark side was no longer hidden.
Simple touching was no longer enough; she wanted to know every part of the woman’s body and soul.
“Do you see… Lin Xinyi? This is your retribution…”
Luo Qingyao smiled, and a emerald-green jade slip appeared in her hand.
The room fell silent as the technique appeared.
“This is an upper-realm slave seal. It carves an intent contract into the heart, changing their perception and turning them into a being that belongs solely to you~”
[Six Desires Demonic Heart Contract]
[The practitioner can condense an intent contract within themselves. Once implanted, it alters common sense and perception. Even those with deep-seated hatred will have their cognition twisted and gradually become utterly devoted.]
[The higher the practitioner’s realm, the greater the chance of successfully implanting the intent contract. It is condensed and nourished through one’s own desires.]
Luo Qingyao looked at the technique.
Usually, she would despise such evil paths, but she had made up her mind.
Desperate times called for desperate measures.
Since Lin Xinyi believed that good people don’t end well, why should Luo Qingyao hesitate?
“Qianqian…”
Luo Qingyao called softly.
Bai Qianqian stared at the technique in a daze, overwhelmed by the surprise.
With this, she didn’t even need to rely on the simple mind-control pill.
“Is this really something I can have…”
“Qianqian, for your own sake, use the intent contract on her…”
