Qin Huaiyin felt something unusual about Lin Xinyi in her arms.
Gently lifting her face to see what was wrong, she met her gaze.
“Disciple, you’ve had your fill of enjoyment these past days, haven’t you…”
Lin Xinyi’s cold words carried a hint of danger.
Qin Huaiyin was slightly startled upon hearing this.
She had seen that look in Lin Xinyi’s eyes before—it was the look of killing intent.
“Master wants to kill me~?”
Even though Qin Huaiyin understood what Lin Xinyi was thinking, she still wasn’t afraid.
After all, she knew Lin Xinyi’s current physical condition better than Lin Xinyi herself.
Yes, Lin Xinyi could muster a faint trace of spiritual energy, but her meridians were blocked and her essence blood was depleted.
Even with immense skill, she couldn’t break through Qin Huaiyin’s defenses.
Based on that alone, Lin Xinyi was helpless.
Qin Huaiyin couldn’t imagine what her master could possibly do.
“Just for a moment. Just one moment, as long as I can return to my peak strength…”
Lin Xinyi didn’t want to appear like that at the sect selection.
Just imagining that lewd state while accepting a disciple’s bow in front of everyone made her feel like she was going mad.
Completely disregarding the consequences, she pulled out the Great Return Pill that Murong Xue had given her earlier.
She didn’t care whether she could absorb it—she was going to gamble.
“My good disciple, your cultivation will become your master’s wedding garment~”
“That’s…”
Seeing the pill in Lin Xinyi’s hand, Qin Huaiyin’s expression finally showed a hint of surprise.
She had seen it when Lin Xinyi received it.
She knew how overbearing this pill was.
She had never imagined Lin Xinyi would use it now.
A immortal-grade pill with three pill marks.
If not properly absorbed and refined, it could destroy one’s meridians, reducing them to a mere mortal.
And if the body wasn’t strong enough, it could even cause them to explode and die.
“Master, are you insane?!”
“Insane? I’m not insane! Anyway, after I defeat you, I can just use you as a cauldron to replenish my losses…”
With that, Lin Xinyi swallowed the pill.
Almost simultaneously, dragon scales began to emerge on Qin Huaiyin’s skin, because she was about to face a Nascent Soul peak cultivator with a grudge.
“Haha, it’s back! It’s all back!!”
Spiritual energy surged from Lin Xinyi’s body without end.
Thanks to the formations inside the grotto-heaven, no one outside knew what was happening.
Lin Xinyi grabbed the robe that had fallen on the floor and threw it over her shoulders.
Her alluring form was faintly visible, but the key areas were just barely covered.
Spiritual energy began to circulate automatically within her.
The bite marks and hickeys on her body instantly faded, returning to clean, fair skin.
As her cultivation recovered, Lin Xinyi’s exhausted body filled with strength.
Her mind also cleared completely.
Any trace of violation dissipated around her.
Even the tally marks on her body vanished without a trace.
“Now then, unfilial disciple, do you feel like kneeling and begging for mercy~?”
“Master…”
Qin Huaiyin looked at Lin Xinyi’s perfectly restored body.
Though she felt the situation had suddenly changed, after a brief moment of shock, she slowly relaxed her guard.
“Giving up resistance~?”
“Master… are you really okay…?”
“What? Have you forgotten how to beg for mercy~?”
Seeing Qin Huaiyin no longer offering any resistance, Lin Xinyi assumed she had lost her mind due to the overwhelming gap in power.
But then she felt something like tears streaming down her face.
That was strange.
At the same time, something seemed to be flowing from her nose.
Lin Xinyi wiped her cheek with her hand—only to find it covered in blood.
“Wh—what’s going on?!”
Her eyes trembling, she turned to look at the mirror beside her.
Her body was radiating spiritual light, the glow of a Nascent Soul cultivator appearing on her skin.
But at the same time, blood flowed from her eyes like tears.
Blood also seeped from the corners of her mouth, her nose, and her ears.
Lin Xinyi couldn’t believe it.
She tried to wipe it away with her other hand, but the blood wouldn’t stop.
“No! No, no! I haven’t taken my revenge yet! I haven’t taken my revenge yet!!”
Lin Xinyi stumbled back several steps.
When she looked at Qin Huaiyin still standing there, she thought—it must be her doing again.
This unfilial disciple had sabotaged her once more.
“It’s all your fault! Your fault! What did you do to me?!!”
Staggering toward her, blood dripped from her body like an unstoppable stream, drop by drop beneath her feet.
Qin Huaiyin said nothing, just quietly watched Lin Xinyi approach.
“Master, everything your disciple said before was a lie. But this time, I truly did nothing…”
Lin Xinyi couldn’t believe it.
Pale golden cracks began to appear on her hands.
She had taken the Great Return Pill hoping its powerful restorative effects would bring her back to her peak cultivation.
Even knowing her meridians were blocked, her qi and blood depleted, and her body couldn’t withstand such nourishment, Lin Xinyi still wanted to gamble—to refine Qin Huaiyin in the instant she recovered her strength.
“Good disciple, come… come save your master, alright~?”
Lin Xinyi’s body was now like a glass container about to burst from the overwhelming spiritual energy.
Every time a crack appeared, the Great Return Pill quickly repaired it.
But then new cracks would form right next to the repaired spots.
Lin Xinyi couldn’t even refine Qin Huaiyin now—she couldn’t even cast a decent spell.
This undignified state hadn’t even lasted five minutes.
“Disciple… come closer… Master… Master might not make it… let Master see you, alright…”
Seeing Qin Huaiyin unmoved, Lin Xinyi tried using sweet words to lure her closer.
Perhaps if she could just touch her—there might still be a chance.
Just a single touch, and she could refine and absorb her.
“Alright…”
Qin Huaiyin’s calm reply gave Lin Xinyi a glimmer of hope.
But when the other approached, Lin Xinyi once again revealed her true intentions.
“Good disciple, Master will thank you for your sacrifice!!!!”
When Qin Huaiyin was less than a meter away, Lin Xinyi grabbed her slender wrist—the very hand that had tormented her countless times over the past days, now firmly in her grasp.
Qin Huaiyin didn’t react much when caught.
Lin Xinyi seized her wrist, forcibly pulled her into an embrace, and hugged her tightly, intending to refine her on the spot.
“Haha! This cultivation of yours is mine! This dragon-transformed body is mine! Even your original Myriad Star Body belongs to me!”
Lin Xinyi thought that by absorbing her, she would gain that powerful constitution, allowing her to withstand the pill’s side effects.
Perhaps her cultivation could even break through the next barrier.
But all of that was just imagination.
Lin Xinyi had grabbed Qin Huaiyin’s wrist and pulled her into her arms to refine her—yet when her lips met the slightly cool touch…
She knew something was wrong.
Qin Huaiyin’s wrist slowly turned, her fingers beginning to move.
Lin Xinyi, who had been in control, found herself being held instead.
“Mmph!!”
Lin Xinyi’s eyes flew wide.
She tried to step back, but the other didn’t stop.
Not until Lin Xinyi was backed against the wall, her back pressed flat, her hands pinned against the wall.
Qin Huaiyin slowly opened her eyes, gazing quietly at her.
Her nimble tongue ignored whatever Lin Xinyi was feeling, prying open her clenched teeth, demanding and taking.
Lin Xinyi was almost suffocating from the kiss.
Her parted legs were stopped by Qin Huaiyin’s left leg thrust between them.
In an instant, offense and defense switched.
Lin Xinyi had intended to refine the other, but instead found herself being drained.
“Master, rather than being refined by you… I have a better idea.”
When Qin Huaiyin whispered this into her ear, Lin Xinyi was completely dumbfounded.
She had just woken up, and yet another day had somehow passed without her understanding.
Lin Xinyi lay staring at the damaged grotto-heaven.
Even lying in bed, she could see the stars in the sky reflected through the cave—the ceiling was gone, blown away when her spiritual energy went haywire.
“Wh—what… what happened? I… I think I got fucked again…”
Lin Xinyi’s words were full of confusion.
After being forcefully kissed and pinned to the bed, counting the stars in the sky… it was already over.
The bedsheets were not only saturated with spiritual energy but also bore a small spot of red.
Qin Huaiyin lay beside her, still nibbling her earlobe.
Because the pill had been so overbearing, Lin Xinyi’s body had reverted to its original state.
The pain in between was somewhat uncomfortable, but gradually it began to feel different.
“Master, still not sleeping~?”
“Don’t! Don’t call me master! And you—get off me!!”
Lin Xinyi pushed at Qin Huaiyin beside her, completely unable to understand why it had turned out like this.
Just moments ago she had been shouting about refining the other, and now she had been thoroughly mounted in bed again.
Lin Xinyi felt like she was about to explode.
Qin Huaiyin called her “master,” but their relationship no longer resembled anything like master and disciple.
The most terrifying part was that at the end, she had started to feel good—something Lin Xinyi least wanted to accept.
“No! No! This isn’t right!!! This isn’t right!!!”
