Listening to Bai Qianqian’s forceful words, Lin Xinyi had the will to resist but not the strength. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the grip on her wrist.
“Master, you smell so good…”
Bai Qianqian gently picked up a lock of smooth hair, brought it to her nose, and inhaled the fragrance. She was already losing herself, as if she had held back this urge for far too long.
“Master, the more you resist, the more interesting it becomes.”
Bai Qianqian could feel the resistance in the other woman. When she dragged her into the woods, she pressed her against a tree trunk with a flick of her wrist.
Her grayish-white eyes, now completely changed, stared intently at Lin Xinyi, as if she wanted to devour her. Seeing that Bai Qianqian was serious, Lin Xinyi sneered coldly.
“Looks like you’ve made up your mind to have me…”
Bai Qianqian saw the expression on Lin Xinyi’s face and her icy eyes seemed to revert to when they first met. Meanwhile, Luo Qingyao, floating nearby, flipped quickly through a book, as if searching for something.
“Wait, wait, just say this!”
Hearing Lin Xinyi’s words, Luo Qingyao quickly applied what she’d just learned. She found the corresponding answer in the book and leaned close to her ear to prompt her.
“Master, being so affectionate with me… isn’t this what you prepared for me~?”
“You… you rebellious disciple…”
Lin Xinyi heard such outrageous words from her mouth. They treated her as if she were some common woman of the night. Rage surged in her heart. Wasn’t she the dignified Changqing Zhenren? Not only was she being so disrespected, but she was also being treated like a helpless girl to be bullied at will.
Powerlessness and anger filled her heart. In the end, seeing no hope of resistance, she could only say coldly, “Is this what you want to do?”
Bai Qianqian’s fingers were almost touching that soft body, but she stopped because of those faint words. Even Luo Qingyao, who was reading materials nearby, was a little stunned.
“What does Master mean by that?”
“You came all the way from that remote place, won the championship, and became my disciple. In the end, is this all for this body?”
Lin Xinyi spoke and turned her head with a cold laugh. But when Bai Qianqian heard these words, the beautiful woman before her at that moment seemed like a glowing red gem—lovely to look at, but painful to touch. As if she had just recalled what she said earlier, the purpose of her coming here.
“What I want is a master who genuinely likes me…”
As Bai Qianqian said these words, she suddenly jolted awake. Seeing Lin Xinyi pressed against the tree, about to be violated, Bai Qianqian stepped back as if shocked.
“I…”
“Why did you stop? Isn’t this what you wanted? Come on…”
Lin Xinyi tugged at the corner of her robe, anger flashing in her eyes, as if she had given up on herself. But Bai Qianqian was jolted awake by Lin Xinyi’s words, and a hint of apology appeared in her eyes.
“Mas… Master…”
Bai Qianqian reflected on what she had just done and felt a pang of regret. Hadn’t she just said she wanted a master who genuinely liked her? So what was the difference between what she just did and before?
‘I messed up…’
Bai Qianqian regretted it in her heart. Lin Xinyi had already prepared herself to endure everything, but after waiting for a long time, she saw Bai Qianqian still standing there, completely lacking the momentum she had earlier.
‘Could it be that what I said scared this rebellious disciple?’
Lin Xinyi thought her words had worked and was about to say more, but then the scene before her began to blur. At the same time, a strange feeling filled her entire body.
‘I made a mistake. I have to fix it…’
Just as she was wondering what was happening, Lin Xinyi, exhausted, took two steps forward, only to meet Bai Qianqian’s cold eyes.
Hearing that familiar voice by her ear, even if Lin Xinyi was slow to react, she understood that the situation must be her doing. But she no longer had the strength to resist.
[Forget…]
After Bai Yuqian confidently spoke those three words, Lin Xinyi’s body collapsed forward. Her vision went dark, and she only felt herself being gently caught at the last moment. Then her subsequent memories began to melt away like ice under the blazing sun.
“So you ended up using it after all…”
[Spell: Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art]
Bai Qianqian’s originally light gray eyes now emitted a grayish-white mist. Looking at Lin Xinyi lying in her arms, she began to reflect on her impulsive behavior.
She must have missed her master so much that her thoughts and actions just now had been too aggressive. But at least she could make up for it.
‘I have to pretend that nothing happened…’
Bai Qianqian carried Lin Xinyi in her arms and wanted to return to the spot where they were about to go up the mountain. But after only two steps, she slowly stopped. She looked at the disheveled Lin Xinyi in her arms, then at the path leading up the mountain not far away.
Luo Qingyao floated from behind. Seeing Bai Qianqian stop, she sighed helplessly, then slowly turned around and started counting ants on the ground.
“The Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art can only change consciousness, not the environment. Don’t take too long…”
Before Luo Qingyao finished speaking, the sound of clothes being removed came from behind. Accompanied by the sight of a jade-white figure, after shedding her clothes, the unresisting Lin Xinyi was gently placed under a tree.
“Master, this really isn’t my fault. Since you won’t have any painful memories, why not indulge me for now…”
After saying this, Bai Qianqian slowly leaned in and kissed her. The kiss was gentle, as if she were once again releasing the emotions she had suppressed for too long. Perhaps it hadn’t been that long since the last time, but for Bai Qianqian at this moment, it felt like an eternity.
The sound of a woodpecker echoed through the forest, like someone playing a rhythmic instrument in the woods. The rhythm was sometimes fast, sometimes slow. No one could tell how much emotion was in Bai Qianqian’s eyes, but possessiveness was written all over her face.
As white mist slowly escaped from her lips, a satisfied smile hung at the corner of Bai Qianqian’s mouth. Perhaps only those who had heard that beautiful music would know how melodious the forest’s rhythm was, and how intoxicating her master was.
“The morning dew can’t compare to even a fraction of Master’s taste…”
Bai Yuqian gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertip, as if she wanted to imprint the image of Lin Xinyi’s current appearance into her mind. Bai Qianqian didn’t know why she had such thoughts, but now she had no idea how deeply she had sunk.
Time passed, and no one knew how long. Lin Xinyi suddenly awoke. But the moment she regained consciousness, all she saw was the endless mountain path. It was as if she had just spaced out for a second.
“What’s going on? Was I zoning out?”
A trace of confusion appeared in Lin Xinyi’s eyes. She secretly glanced at Bai Qianqian following behind her. As if sensing Lin Xinyi’s gaze, the girl slowly looked up with a puzzled expression.
“Master, why did you stop? Have we arrived?”
“I just felt a bit tired and stopped to rest.”
After saying this, Lin Xinyi turned around and stopped looking at her. But she still felt something was off, as if she had forgotten something. Yet nothing had just happened; it was merely a moment of absent-mindedness.
Walking ahead, Lin Xinyi felt an inexplicable unease in her heart. Perhaps it was because she had become her master. Even though the other had done nothing else on the way back, the unease in Lin Xinyi’s heart did not disappear.
‘Why is this rebellious disciple being so well-behaved on the way back, not even saying a word?’
Lin Xinyi felt that Bai Qianqian was plotting something bad, but without evidence, she could only continue walking ahead. Only Bai Qianqian, following behind, noticed a faint bluish mark on the back of Lin Xinyi’s neck.
It was the mark she had left. The person involved seemed completely unaware and just kept walking ahead. Bai Yuqian said nothing, only a faint smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
“Master, so smooth…”
