Lin Xinyi had already suffered great humiliation, but she never imagined she would suffer such indignity again.
As the exquisite ceremonial robe was draped over her, Lin Xinyi’s face flushed red as she gritted her jade-like teeth and glared angrily at Qin Huaiyin.
“Master needn’t look at me like that. When putting on clothes, it’s inevitable to touch the body; that’s simply unavoidable…”
“You could have just slipped the clothes onto me, but you deliberately groped around in front of me for so long. Do you really think I don’t know anything?”
A humiliated blush hung on Lin Xinyi’s cheeks, looking utterly alluring, while her hands tightly covered her body.
Even with the clothes on, she felt no sense of security.
Recalling the sensation of those fingers tracing across her body just moments ago, Lin Xinyi felt a wave of discomfort.
Especially when the thin gauze robe had been removed, she could feel those eyes constantly scanning her body.
After Lin Xinyi had straightened her clothes, although she felt somewhat dissatisfied, she found it difficult to say anything.
After all, until her spiritual power recovered, she was still like fish on a chopping block; being taken advantage of a few more times left her with nothing to say.
“I said I didn’t need anyone’s help, but don’t you go too far!”
Lin Xinyi’s soft, delicate body had no strength to resist.
Even being held in the other’s arms like a princess, she couldn’t push her away.
When Qin Huaiyin intended to carry her straight out of the Grotto-heaven, Lin Xinyi was so frightened she quickly stopped her.
“Master keeps dragging this out. If we’re late for the Sect Leader’s assembly, that wouldn’t be good, would it?”
“That may be true, but you can’t just carry me out like this! What will others say if they see us?”
“But Master is unwell and can’t even mobilize spiritual power. If I don’t carry Master, is Master planning to walk out herself~?”
“Must you speak just to anger me now?!”
Lin Xinyi clenched her small fist tightly and pounded it against the other’s chest, but the damage was clearly minimal.
In fact, her fist even bounced back slightly from the soft cushioning.
But on second thought, it was true.
She couldn’t smoothly mobilize the spiritual power within her body right now.
If she pushed herself, she might even cause her cultivation level to regress.
“Is Master uncomfortable being held by me? I’m just carrying Master there. Once we arrive, won’t Master just be sitting and talking anyway…”
“No! No! Absolutely not! If you carry me the whole way, what’s left of my reputation?!”
Lin Xinyi quickly shook her head.
If she went out like this and was seen by those few elders who were at odds with her, she could already imagine their smug expressions.
Even if there were no major issues, the gossip and rumors within the sect would surely double.
“Just imagining the scene of you carrying me to the Sect Hall is already terrifyingly shameful…”
Lin Xinyi had always valued her dignity.
How could she allow Qin Huaiyin to act so recklessly?
But now her legs couldn’t support her.
Walking there herself was even more of a fantasy.
Perhaps if she overdraw her spiritual energy a bit, she might manage, but that would be a last resort.
“Master is weak right now, so don’t think about pushing yourself. If you strain your body just to stand up, the loss would outweigh the gain…”
“You creature, are you a tapeworm in my belly? You can see everything I’m thinking.”
Being seen through so easily made Lin Xinyi feel extremely irritated, but Qin Huaiyin didn’t seem bothered by her reaction.
Instead, after they stepped out of the Cave Abode, a wheelchair made of black iron and softwood was slowly pushed in.
“Oh dear, since Master is unwilling to let me carry her, I suppose I’ll have to subject Master to this uncomfortable wheelchair…”
“What, so you had this ready all along? Were you just trying to make a fool of me earlier?!”
Lin Xinyi’s eyes lit up when she saw the wheelchair pushed in.
With this, it would solve the problem of her mobility issues due to her physical condition.
If anyone saw her, she could just brush it off with a casual excuse.
“Why didn’t you bring this out sooner…”
“Does Master really prefer sitting in this over being held in my arms?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Fine, it’s decided then. This is what we’ll use. Now, quickly help me into it. I don’t want to be carried all over the sect by you!”
Lin Xinyi sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out her arms, clearly asking to be carried.
Seeing this, Qin Huaiyin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Despite the commanding tone, this proactive gesture caused a slight flutter in Qin Huaiyin’s heart.
Qin Huaiyin walked to the bedside, extended one hand to support Lin Xinyi’s waist, and slipped the other hand behind her knees.
With one swift motion, she lifted her.
After gently placing her into the wheelchair, she slowly stepped back two paces.
“Master, please don’t do anything so dangerous next time. I might not be able to control myself…”
“Dangerous? What nonsense are you talking about, you rebellious disciple?”
Lin Xinyi, relieved that she no longer had to worry about how to get there, began to examine the wheelchair beneath her.
From the outside, the dark wood and black iron had a very stylish look, especially the inscribed formations, which added a unique aesthetic appeal.
“It looks good, and it’s comfortable to sit in. You really put some thought into this, didn’t you? But why did you carve so many formations on a wheelchair?”
Just as Lin Xinyi voiced her doubt, Qin Huaiyin slowly walked behind the wheelchair.
In response to Lin Xinyi’s question, Qin Huaiyin didn’t speak.
Instead, she slowly placed her hands on the handles at the back of the wheelchair, intending to show her through action.
As the handles turned, a faint electric current suddenly flowed through Lin Xinyi’s body.
She didn’t react at first, but then a numbing, tingling sensation instantly invaded from the soles of her feet.
“Ahh!!! Wh-What’s happening?!”
“I already told Master, sitting in this wheelchair might be a bit uncomfortable…”
Qin Huaiyin no longer hid her fingers, gently tracing the delicate patterns on the wheelchair.
And when connected, these patterns formed interlocking formations.
Lin Xinyi then realized something was wrong.
That electric current was very weak, so weak it only produced a numbing sensation, but it was directed precisely from where she was sitting, traveling upward.
“There’s something wrong with this thing! What… what have you done?!”
Feeling that numbing sensation on her body, Lin Xinyi immediately understood that Qin Huaiyin was behind it.
Watching Lin Xinyi’s reaction, a slow smile curved the corners of Qin Huaiyin’s mouth as she instantly turned the formation’s switch to the highest setting.
“Ahhh!!!!”
The sudden, intense stimulation rushed up from her soft lower abdomen relentlessly.
Lin Xinyi doubled over from the shock, tears streaming from her eyes.
She tried to struggle out of the wheelchair, but her clothes seemed to come alive, clinging tightly to the seat.
“What… what’s going on…?!”
Lin Xinyi hadn’t expected that even the ceremonial robe she wore had been tampered with.
She deeply regretted not suspecting that the specially prepared items were problematic.
Even trying to fall out of the wheelchair had become a luxury.
“Stop it! Do you have any idea what you’re doing?!”
“Master saying that truly wrongs your disciple. I haven’t done anything at all. Besides, when we see the Sect Leader in a moment, how can Master be hunched over like this…”
A gentle smile played on Qin Huaiyin’s lips.
Her fingers turned again, rotating the handles she was pushing from behind.
The ceremonial robe Lin Xinyi wore seemed to gain magnetic force, suddenly pressing her firmly against the chair’s back.
Lin Xinyi’s bent body was immediately forced upright.
That faint electric current began to slowly circle her willowy waist, even reaching her soft, small chest.
Lin Xinyi could no longer bear it and suddenly pointed her toes rigidly.
“No… no!!”
Lin Xinyi’s eyes rolled back, and she nearly fainted.
The previously clean wheelchair now had droplets falling, drop by drop, from the wooden board beneath the seat.
Lin Xinyi clearly hadn’t recovered from that sensation; her body still trembled slightly.
“It seems starting with the highest setting right away was too intense…”
Qin Huaiyin looked at Lin Xinyi, who had just changed her pants and now had a large wet patch between her legs.
She casually cast a cleansing spell, cleaning it completely.
The separated spiritual essence was collected into a jade vial.
“Master just changed clothes; you really should be more careful…”
“……”
There was a hint of reproach in Qin Huaiyin’s tone, but her words received no response.
Lin Xinyi had apparently been rendered unconscious by the intense stimulation.
Seeing this, Qin Huaiyin sighed helplessly, picked her up, and laid her flat on the bed.
She gently straightened her clothes, then removed the skirt already separated from the spiritual essence.
“Master’s body is getting more and more sensitive. If I use this setting in front of the Sect Leader, it’ll be exposed immediately, won’t it…”
After removing it, Qin Huaiyin looked at the slit already overflowing with spiritual essence.
She gently wiped away the excess with a handkerchief, which was now saturated with the girl’s fragrance.
“Sigh, I really don’t know what to do with Master. Leaking this much, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly…”
