Chapter 137: Bad Woman

Lü Qi’s zither music was so immersive that one couldn’t help but be drawn in. By the time the performance ended, Yu Yi still felt like she hadn’t had enough.

“Master, what do you think? My zither art shouldn’t have regressed, right?” Lü Qi asked Yu Yi with a smile.

“Of course not,” Yu Yi said with a smile. “It was a very beautiful piece. I like it very much.”

“Since Master is satisfied, then I can rest easy,” Lü Qi said as she gave a bow.

Up until this point, everything was normal.

It was so normal that Yu Yi felt like something was wrong.

‘Hmm… it wasn’t a lullaby or anything like that. Did I misunderstand Su Cheng? Maybe she didn’t entice Lü Qi to play something strange just now?’

Yu Yi thought silently, ‘Or perhaps Lü Qi is an upright person and rejected Su Cheng’s “plot”?’

While Yu Yi was thinking this over, Lü Qi put away her treasure zither and stood up to invite him.

“Master, it’s about time for you to retire for the night. If you don’t mind, you can stay at my Qingfeng elegant pavilion for the night. It’s more comfortable than the finest guest rooms in the Sect, and…”

By the end, Lü Qi’s eyes suddenly shimmered with shyness, and she seemed a bit too embarrassed to continue.

“And what?” Yu Yi asked.

“And… I can attend to Master in bed after such a long time,” Lü Qi whispered bashfully, fidgeting.

Yu Yi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He hadn’t heard of such a thing happening before.

Her heart tightened again. She felt like Lü Qi’s words contained a massive amount of hidden information.

Su Cheng, who was listening nearby, also revealed a meaningful smile.

‘Fourth Senior Sister… is really working hard,’ she thought to herself.

Lü Qi liked attending to Yu Yi in bed. This was something everyone in the Sect knew, except for the Little Junior Sister, Chi Ming.

Furthermore, it was worth mentioning that Lü Qi liked “multiple people” serving Yu Yi together.

Among the seven sisters, Lü Qi had never met First Senior Sister.

Since Chi Ming lacked experience in this area — and Yu Yi and the other Senior Sisters were currently unwilling to teach her — those two were the first to be excluded.

Although Ye Qingluan had been schemed against by Su Cheng earlier, she was actually just like Su Cheng; both preferred to keep things for themselves. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t “join forces” with Su Cheng.

Huang Doudou’s “hobbies” were a bit unique, so Lü Qi couldn’t join her either.

That left Blue Ling’er.

Lü Qi once invited her to attend to Yu Yi together. At the time, although Ling’er was cold and proud, she knew absolutely nothing about these matters.

She assumed that attending meant simply sleeping beside their Master, so she readily accepted.

As a result, on that night, when Lü Qi “inexplicably” stripped Blue Ling’er naked, Ling’er suddenly realized something was wrong. She didn’t even bother to put on her clothes and fled while completely naked.

Consequently, Lü Qi was left without a “teammate.”

This was her biggest reason for helping Yun Qianxue.

“I am not in the mood tonight,” Yu Yi said flatly.

Lü Qi looked at the sword casket in his hand, feeling a bit dejected.

“I… I understand.” Lü Qi sighed with regret.

However, after Lü Qi accepted reality, a new problem appeared before her.

Lü Qi’s plan was originally going very smoothly.

She played that “extraordinary” song while Su Cheng cooperated in the shadows to ensure that only Yun Qianxue would hear the music.

Yun Qianxue was in the midst of her adolescent longing. After hearing that song, the feelings and desires hidden deep in her heart would surely be ignited.

Then, Lü Qi, acting as the “bad woman,” would stop playing at the perfect moment, forcibly ending Yun Qianxue’s “beautiful dream.”

At that point, the girl would feel unsated and find it difficult to calm down. It was highly likely she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself and would go look for Yu Yi.

If that happened, Lü Qi — who would already be attending to Yu Yi — would achieve her goal of having “multiple people.”

That was how things were supposed to develop.

However, Lü Qi never expected that Yu Yi would actually reject her request to attend to him!

‘Master used to accept with a bit of reluctance, and we haven’t seen each other for many years. Why did he reject me so directly just now…?’

Lü Qi looked at the sword casket suppressing the Everlasting Tribulation Sword and thought silently:

‘Not being influenced by desire — is this Master’s attitude toward cultivation? Hmm… it seems my cultivation is still far from enough. But…’

***

Meanwhile, in the guest room.

Yun Qianxue opened her eyes from a half-asleep state, appearing as though she hadn’t yet recovered from that peak experience. It had been a night of passion and intimacy.

Her face was flushed, and her chest heaved with rapid breaths. Her entire body was soaked, and there were large wet patches on the bed — sweat, along with some traces that were hard to mention.

When she realized that her surroundings hadn’t changed at all, except that Yu Yi — who had just given her such deep love — was gone, she realized she had only been dreaming while listening to the zither.

“Was it… actually a dream?” Yun Qianxue felt an unprecedented sense of loss.

It felt as if she had plummeted halfway from the clouds of happiness to the bottom of a valley.

“It’s not enough… how can this be enough? Even if it’s a dream, I want to experience it to the very end…”

Yun Qianxue sat on the bed, her feeling of loss lingering for a long time.

She had regained her clarity and ability to think. She knew it was a dream and not real, and she needed to calm down and face reality.

However, the desire in her heart was like an arrow that had already been shot; there was no way to take it back.

She silently took out a square cloth, wiped her body clean, and changed into a fresh set of clothes.

“Big Sister… Big Sister…”

Muttering to herself, Yun Qianxue didn’t even bother to put on shoes. She walked outside with bare feet.

She left her room and walked along the empty mountain path. The cold moonlight shone down on her, and an ominous aura flowed through the wind.

Suddenly, Yun Qianxue felt a powerful gaze sweep past her. She instantly felt a chill run down her spine, her hair standing on end. She subconsciously hid in the shadows nearby.

Then, she carefully peered in a certain direction and indeed saw a suspicious figure wandering around in the dark of night.

“Is that… the Sect Master?” Yun Qianxue recognized that the hunched figure was none other than the Old Sect Master of the Fengqing Sect.

The Old Sect Master’s body was stiff, as if he were constantly twitching, and his gait was extremely unnatural.

That wasn’t the most important part.

Yun Qianxue vaguely saw that the Old Sect Master — who was clearly blind and had kept his eyes closed in the Dayi Hall — had actually opened his eyes!
