While Bai Qianqian was in the heat of battle, in another part of the world wrapped in winter, Lin Xinyi lay on the bed, eyes wide with confusion, staring at the familiar ceiling.
For a moment, she couldn’t snap back to reality.
“What’s going on? Why? Why is it already light? Did I pass out again?”
Lin Xinyi propped herself up with her right hand and slowly sat up on the bed.
She found her body sore and numb, but a strange comfort filled her whole being.
The memories from last night began to slowly resurface.
“No, it’s that rebellious disciple!”
As soon as Lin Xinyi remembered what happened last night, she reacted immediately.
She threw off the covers covering her body, only to find herself wearing only a robe, completely unclothed underneath, even her undergarments removed.
Realizing that someone had changed her clothes, Lin Xinyi’s face turned as red as a ripe apple.
Just then, the door to the cave abode slowly pushed open, and Qin Huaiyin entered, carrying a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup.
“Master, how did you rest last night? Your disciple served you with all her heart~”
“You! You you!! You rebellious disciple! You promised not to touch me, yet last night you still did that kind of thing!!”
Lin Xinyi, her cheeks flushed, tightly wrapped the blanket around herself and shrank into the corner of the bed, looking exactly like a frightened hamster.
It was incredibly cute.
“Master, what are you saying? Your disciple only massaged you, never did anything inappropriate…”
“How can you say that with a straight face? My clothes were taken off! You! You bastard!”
Lin Xinyi pointed a finger at Qin Huaiyin and directly confronted her, her words full of accusation.
But Qin Huaiyin just propped her cheek on her hand, her eyes full of helplessness.
“Why can’t Master trust your disciple a little more…”
“Trust you? How can I trust you? You rebellious disciple probably used massage techniques to make me faint from pleasure, then did whatever you wanted!”
“It seems… that could work too~”
“See! You admitted it yourself!”
Lin Xinyi deeply regretted how easily she had believed this person’s promise.
She probably had her whole body looked over last night, and while she was unconscious, who knows what else was done.
Qin Huaiyin heard this and slowly defended herself, while neatly folding the clothes Lin Xinyi had been wearing and placing them on the bed.
“Last night during the massage, your disciple applied a bit too much force, causing Master to faint. That was indeed my oversight~”
“What use is admitting it now? The deed is done! You… you!”
Lin Xinyi pointed angrily, but she didn’t have the strength to retaliate.
The words reached her lips, but she was afraid that if she went too far, she would provoke the other and suffer physical pain again.
But Qin Huaiyin just shook her head slightly, denying Lin Xinyi’s words, and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, causing Lin Xinyi, who was like a startled bird, to wrap herself in a cocoon of blanket and huddle in the corner.
“Your disciple did not admit to doing that kind of thing to Master. I am only reflecting that the massage process was a bit excessive…”
“Then that’s the same as…!”
“Shh~”
Lin Xinyi tried to interrupt again, but Qin Huaiyin pressed a finger to her lips, stopping the words before they could come out.
“If I wanted to do that kind of thing to Master, your body wouldn’t be so pristine~”
As Qin Huaiyin said this, her eyes instantly turned back into their original golden vertical pupils, triggering bad memories in Lin Xinyi, as if she had returned to the days when she was dominated by this person.
Not only had there been “fingers playing in the water” at the Rain Pavilion, but also “teeth holding the pearl” in her own cave abode.
The terrifying experiences were brought back.
Lin Xinyi thought about it—indeed, her current state didn’t seem like she had been violated.
“Even… even so, then how do you explain my clothes being changed?”
Lin Xinyi was starting to believe Qin Huaiyin a little, but the fact that her clothes had been changed was ironclad evidence.
How could it prove that Qin Huaiyin hadn’t done anything?
Seeming to anticipate this question, Qin Huaiyin slowly took out a jade bottle and placed it on the bed beside them.
Lin Xinyi looked at it, puzzled, not understanding why she was taking out a pill bottle.
“What can this prove…”
Lin Xinyi picked it up curiously.
When she opened the bottle, she found it contained faint spiritual energy, but the aura was strangely familiar.
“What, it’s not pills? So much spiritual liquid…”
Lin Xinyi gently shook it, and the spiritual energy from the liquid inside became more apparent.
Qin Huaiyin then began to explain the origin of the liquid.
“Last night, when Master was being massaged by me, the ecstatic sounds you made were quite suggestive…”
“You… why are you bringing that up now…”
Lin Xinyi’s cheeks flushed a little as she looked at the other, obviously recalling her own embarrassing behavior.
But Qin Huaiyin did not stop; she continued.
“But Master, was it that my massage was too comfortable, or what? Your body kept leaking spiritual liquid~”
“Huh?”
Lin Xinyi didn’t react at first, but then she understood the implication.
Her face turned bright red like a ripe apple, and her eyes became flustered.
“What are you saying!”
Lin Xinyi tried to deny it, but when she saw the neatly folded clothes on the bed, she remembered how last night she had been so overwhelmed by pleasure that she had fainted, losing control of her body, and had continuously leaked her spiritual power as spiritual marrow liquid.
The shame surged into her brain without any concealment.
“Master’s body is truly enticing. Even the spiritual marrow liquid it produces has such a charming fragrance~”
Qin Huaiyin said as she looked at the jade bottle in the other’s hand.
Lin Xinyi followed her gaze and realized what the bottle contained.
The indescribable shame became unbearable.
“You! You rebellious disciple!!”
Lin Xinyi felt that her life was completely hopeless.
The dignity she had cherished was now shattered.
Enraged, she threw the bottle to the ground, where it shattered with a crisp sound.
Qin Huaiyin, sitting beside her, showed a hint of regret in her eyes, but quickly hid it.
After all, how could she only have kept one bottle?
Lin Xinyi, ignoring everything else, grabbed Qin Huaiyin by the collar and glared at her fiercely.
“You rebellious disciple, remember this. If anyone else finds out about today, I’ll… I’ll take you down with me!!”
“Such a beautiful sight of Master’s, I would never have enough time to enjoy it alone, let alone share it with others~”
“You… you’d better mean that…”
Lin Xinyi released her grip and turned to pick up her clothes.
But in her mind, she was already making other plans.
‘No, I can’t start a conflict with that rebellious disciple now. Once I recover my cultivation, I’ll have to kill her to silence her…’
Lin Xinyi had already discarded her earlier idea of using the other as a top-tier furnace.
Now she just wanted to preserve her remaining dignity.
After all, Qin Huaiyin, as her disciple, already knew too many of her embarrassing secrets.
At this thought, a sinister smile curled at the corner of Lin Xinyi’s mouth.
She began planning how to make the other die more naturally.
As the master, she could then put on a show of grief over losing her beloved disciple.
‘Can’t blame anyone else. Blame that rebellious disciple for knowing too much.’
Faced with her dark thoughts, Lin Xinyi added Qin Huaiyin to her “must-kill” list.
But no sooner had she written it than she began to hesitate.
‘No, killing her outright would be too easy. I… I should change it.’
Lin Xinyi hesitated, then changed her plan from murder to turning the other into a living puppet, torturing her day and night as revenge.
She was even startled by the cruelty of her own idea.
‘Hehe, I’ll do that once I recover my cultivation. But if she has no consciousness, revenge won’t be as satisfying…’
Indeed, hearing screams was more satisfying for revenge.
Maybe…
Lin Xinyi glanced at Qin Huaiyin, who was sitting beside her, smiling as she watched her.
She changed the plan from making a puppet to keeping her captive.
Because of the dragon blood, the other’s physical abilities had increased more than twofold.
Then she would torture and humiliate her day and night, and the other would experience that kind of shame, begging and pleading, while she continued to torment.
‘Hehehe, this suits my style…’
Meanwhile, Qin Huaiyin was admiring the entire process of Lin Xinyi getting dressed.
She noticed her master’s evil smile.
Because Lin Xinyi was so focused on revenge, she forgot to kick the other out while changing clothes, allowing Qin Huaiyin to feast her eyes.
But at the same time, seeing Lin Xinyi making that wicked smile as usual, a smile couldn’t help but form on Qin Huaiyin’s lips.
‘Such a master is truly captivating…’
At that moment, Lin Xinyi finished dressing and realized Qin Huaiyin was still in the room.
The corner of her eye twitched, but she didn’t say anything.
After all, the other had already seen everything she shouldn’t have.
What was there to hide?
But then, Lin Xinyi felt she had forgotten something important.
And it was quite important.
She couldn’t remember it at the moment.
“I think there was something special I needed to handle today…”
