Lin Xinyi sat on a stone chair nearby, watching Bai Qianqian continuously practice the cultivation technique she had given her.
However, the complexity in her eyes was difficult to put into words.
‘Exactly which step went wrong?’
Lin Xinyi felt a bit depressed.
According to the plan, the other girl’s meridians should have shattered, leading to a cultivation deviation within four or five days.
But now, nearly a year had passed.
Every day, the girl simply spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then nothing happened.
“Master, I feel so terrible. Am I going to die…”
“It’s alright. This is a normal phenomenon. Just cultivate properly and you’ll be fine~”
[One week later]
“Master, I feel so terrible. Am I going to die…”
“Uh… it’s fine, it’s fine. It will disappear eventually~”
[One month later]
“Master, I feel so terrible…”
“Normal phenomenon, normal phenomenon…”
[Half a year later]
“Master, it hurts…”
“You… don’t look like you’re in pain…”
And so, time passed between the two of them every day.
Bai Qianqian would run to her and perform her pained act as if she were simply completing a task.
However, time flew by, and Bai Qianqian showed no signs of any issues.
In fact, her body was even sturdier than before.
She ate and slept on time, followed a regular schedule, and cultivated diligently.
‘Where exactly did it go wrong…’
Lin Xinyi’s eyes were filled with darkness.
She bit her thumb hard, but no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t figure out which step in the process was flawed.
“Master…”
“Fine, fine, don’t say it. I know you’re in pain!”
While Lin Xinyi was still wondering which part of the plan had failed, Bai Qianqian approached her as usual to perform her fixed routine.
‘Does this girl think I can’t see through her clumsy disguise?’
Lin Xinyi’s expression was grim, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Watching her master’s irritable reaction, Bai Qianqian simply snapped her fingers.
Lin Xinyi’s eyes instantly widened, and her entire body froze as if time had been paused.
“Master looks so beautiful even when she’s being dismissive…”
Bai Qianqian gazed at that beautiful face with a dazed expression, reaching out her fingertips to touch the soft body.
Whenever her energy felt insufficient, she would take as she pleased like this.
Lin Xinyi’s body felt weightless as she was carried to the bed.
Bai Qianqian narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned down, and began to taste her.
“Master smells so good, and her body is so soft. I can never get enough…”
With the sound of another finger snap, Lin Xinyi suddenly jolted awake.
She looked at her naked state in shock, completely unaware of what had happened.
“Wh-what happened?! How did I end up in bed?!”
“Master smells so good, so soft…”
Bai Qianqian kept calling her “Master” with every breath, but her actions showed absolutely no respect for the master-disciple relationship.
Lin Xinyi finally noticed Bai Qianqian looming over her, and her eyes instantly filled with rage.
“Bai Qianqian! How dare you!”
Lin Xinyi’s voice was furious.
She tried to push the girl away, but her hands were suddenly bound by two chains formed from spiritual energy.
She could only lie there as the other girl’s hands roamed over her body.
“Why can you still use spiritual energy? Didn’t you say…”
“Acting with Master every day was getting boring. Now, Master, open your legs…”
Faced with the spiritual chains binding her hands and the girl’s expert application of power, Lin Xinyi felt a wave of shock.
She couldn’t even imagine when the girl had acquired such skill.
“Shouldn’t you be lying in bed sickly every day?!”
In Lin Xinyi’s memory, the girl would cough up blood whenever she tried to cultivate and would dully repeat her complaints of pain.
Now, this familiar yet strange use of spiritual energy felt entirely foreign.
“I lied to you…”
Bai Qianqian answered without any hesitation.
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi’s heart skipped a beat.
When exactly had she been deceived?
“You! Let me go!”
“As expected, Master tastes even better with a hint of anger~”
The excitement in Bai Qianqian’s eyes was impossible to hide, but she did not stop her movements.
She touched every inch of the woman’s skin.
Even though she did the same thing every day, she never felt the slightest bit of boredom.
“You! You lied to me! No, wait… could it be? Luo Qingyao, you’re lying to me too!”
Lin Xinyi’s voice trembled, but to Bai Qianqian, that trembling sound was exceptionally beautiful.
“Master is so lovely. However, the most delicious cake must be saved for next time…”
Bai Qianqian reached out and slowly stroked the soft abdomen.
Then, a command left her lips.
Lin Xinyi was confused about what she intended to do until she heard the unquestionable voice in her ear.
[Forget it…]
Lin Xinyi’s brain instantly stalled.
Only the rhythmic sound of splashing water remained on the bed.
After about ten minutes, Bai Qianqian pulled up her pants, seemingly unsatisfied.
“I never get tired of using Master like a doll~”
“Tending to Master again? This is the third time today, isn’t it…”
Luo Qingyao slowly walked in from the outside of the Grotto-heaven.
She had waited for the sounds inside the room to stop before entering.
Aside from cultivation, Bai Qianqian seemed to have a fixed daily task: visiting Lin Xinyi.
Looking at the two of them, Luo Qingyao shook her head helplessly.
Recalling the Lin Xinyi she first met—hard, domineering, and selfish—the woman now looked like a truly pitiful creature.
“Oh, is it already morning?”
Luo Qingyao had intended to tell Bai Qianqian to practice more restraint, but Lin Xinyi, who had been lying on the bed, sat up with a calm expression as if she had a split personality.
She rubbed her head tiredly and began to dress herself.
“It’s morning, Master…”
Facing the dazed Lin Xinyi, Bai Qianqian’s voice was tender.
Lin Xinyi slowly walked over and gently hugged her.
Her gentle demeanor was something that had seemingly never existed before.
Seeing this, Luo Qingyao didn’t need to think twice to understand.
Bai Qianqian had secretly planted several Intent Seals while she wasn’t looking.
“Qianqian, you…”
“I had a sudden thought: what if Master became gentler? So…”
Bai Qianqian explained calmly.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into a tender embrace, as if Lin Xinyi wanted to provide her with warmth.
“I never noticed my disciple could be so cute. Master truly loves you~”
Lin Xinyi completely ignored Luo Qingyao.
Her gaze was fixed solely on Bai Qianqian, as if there were no room for anyone else in her world.
As she held Bai Qianqian in her arms, she whispered intimate words and nuzzled against her affectionately.
Watching the drastic change in the woman’s attitude, Luo Qingyao was momentarily at a loss for words.
Lin Xinyi had once been utterly repulsed by Bai Qianqian, but now she looked as if she couldn’t live without her.
‘Uh… this is more than just an Intent Seal. It’s like she’s a completely different person…’
