Shen Qingyi struggled forward in the passage, forced to stop and steady herself with every step.
With every inch she advanced, the tide of love became more violent, crashing against her like surging waves with ever-increasing power.
Sometimes, that love felt like someone’s whisper, splitting into different voices that murmured and sang in her ears.
They spoke of Su Qiulian and Bai Luoshuang’s yearning for her, pleading to spend the rest of their lives together.
At other times, it touched Shen Qingyi’s heart directly, making her mind wander until she grew truly dazed.
Yet even so, the fragments of her past life refused to reveal more.
The images in her mind remained frozen on a single scene: her held in the arms of the Demon Emperor and the Sword Sovereign, her face flushed red.
She looked incredibly shy, shrinking back into their embrace.
Shen Qingyi was speechless.
She didn’t know how to describe this feeling, but seeing the image made her want to slap herself.
‘Damn it, of all people to provoke, why the Demon Emperor and the Sword Sovereign? Did I really have to pick those two? Even if I did, why did they have to chase me into this life? Is it really necessary for the past life to make things so hard for the current one?’
Shen Qingyi cursed her past self in her heart for being such a philanderer.
However, she didn’t know that back then, she hadn’t been the one to provoke either Su Qiulian or Bai Luoshuang.
On the contrary, these two people — who practically stood at the peak of the Cultivation World — had been the ones to mess with her.
It was a case of elders acting without dignity, tormenting a mortal woman.
Poor Shen Qingyi had no idea; otherwise, she would have turned around and left immediately, not bothering to care about them.
But for a person who could be considered “good,” standing by while others died went against her nature.
Besides, if the Demon Emperor and the Sword Sovereign were both trapped here because of her, wouldn’t that be too ridiculous?
The waves of love surged toward her, and Shen Qingyi accepted them all.
Without even realizing it, while she cursed her past self, her tolerance for the tide grew, and her speed of acceptance increased.
Her footsteps gradually became steady, her stride powerful and firm as she pressed forward.
She was just about to reach the fork in the road when Su Meiyin’s eyes narrowed outside.
With a slight hook of her finger, she cast an unknown spell.
Suddenly, the tunnel before Shen Qingyi went pitch black.
She couldn’t see a thing.
“Ling… Ling Sense…”
“Why…?”
No matter how Shen Qingyi tried to circulate the meager *lingli* in her body, she couldn’t expand her Ling Sense.
She was truly blind.
Without her Ling Sense to guide the way, it was impossible to tell which path led to Su Qiulian and which led to Bai Luoshuang.
She hesitated at the fork, unable to decide.
Seeing this, Su Meiyin smiled with satisfaction.
“Don’t think it’ll be that easy!”
She then looked back at Pei Xianyun, flashing a seductive, smiling glance.
“Xianyun~”
“Sigh…”
Pei Xianyun sighed, unable to do anything about her.
Her hand signs changed once more.
Instantly, the auras of love from Su Qiulian and Bai Luoshuang — which Shen Qingyi could originally distinguish — became confused and completely jumbled together.
Shen Qingyi froze, unsure of what was happening.
She assumed it was caused by the loss of her Ling Sense.
Now, she really couldn’t tell who was at the end of each path.
Panicking, she asked with a trembling voice, “Sect Master… Sect Master Pei, what’s going on?”
Pei Xianyun glanced at Su Meiyin before speaking.
“Your heart is distracted, so the love has become chaotic. It is only natural that you cannot distinguish them. As for your Ling Sense, it has little use within the *Six Desires Turbid World Scroll*.”
Listening to the rumbling echoes in the passage, Shen Qingyi couldn’t help but frown.
‘Is my heart distracted?’
She didn’t think so!
At most, she had been thinking about random things due to those past memories, but she had stopped now.
Why was it still chaotic?
She wasn’t sure, but Sect Master Pei was a good person and probably wouldn’t lie to her, right?
Left with no other choice, Shen Qingyi sat down, intending to clear the distracting thoughts from her mind.
Otherwise, having the love of two people clashing against her felt strange and uncomfortable.
But she had barely sat down when Pei Xianyun’s urgent voice reached her ears.
“Miss Shen, it would be best if you hurried! Those two are about to be completely sucked into the center of the Vortex of Love and Desire! Pulling them back then will be much harder than it is now!”
“What? Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Shen Qingyi quickly stood up. Since she still couldn’t tell which direction belonged to whom, she used the most primitive method.
She held out her fair hand and pointed between the two directions where the love surged from.
“The one I point to…”
“Will be the one!”
Her finger stopped on the left.
This path led toward Su Qiulian.
“Heh!”
Su Meiyin chuckled at the sight.
“Choosing like that works too! But since she’s made her choice, Xianyun, get rid of that nasty Sword Sovereign! She’s willing to be trapped there, and as the owner of the *Six Desires Turbid World Scroll*, it should be easy for you to kill her, right?”
Su Meiyin looked at Pei Xianyun with eyes full of spring.
Pei Xianyun seemed to consider it for a moment before nodding.
Her fingers continued to shift through hand signs, but she walked toward Su Meiyin and embraced her.
Su Meiyin thought Pei Xianyun was so starved for affection that she wouldn’t even let go of a fake body, so she allowed the hug.
She even patted the hand on her waist, teasingly saying, “Xianyun, you really have been holding back! No rush. Once Bai Luoshuang is dead and my business is finished, my true body will come here immediately. At that time, you can do whatever you want~”
Su Meiyin blew a breath against Pei Xianyun’s ear.
It was the height of temptation.
But Pei Xianyun remained silent.
She simply continued to hold her, her hands roaming restlessly over Su Meiyin’s chest.
Su Meiyin assumed she was still upset about the fake body and was sulking, so she stopped teasing and turned her gaze back to the *Six Desires Turbid World Scroll*.
Inside the passage, Shen Qingyi reached the end and stepped into the Vortex of Love and Desire.
Now, she could clearly tell who was inside the vortex because the cries of “Little Shen, Little Shen” rang out clearly.
“A Lian…?”
Shen Qingyi murmured.
She didn’t think there was any problem, but then she remembered Bai Luoshuang shouting, “You always think of her first!”
She suddenly felt guilty toward Bai Luoshuang.
Her expression turned awkward, but she quickly composed herself.
“It’s fine! It’s fine! A Shuang, just wait a moment. I’ll pull A Lian out first, then I’ll come for you too!”
Convincing herself, she stepped toward Su Qiulian’s position within the Vortex of Love and Desire.
Even without her Ling Sense, it was easy to find her; after all, someone’s silly laughter had become quite distinct.
Su Qiulian wasn’t awake; she was just laughing foolishly within the illusion, appearing quite happy.
Watching Shen Qingyi walk so resolutely toward Su Qiulian, Su Meiyin chuckled again.
She squeezed the hand on her chest and said, “Alright, stop touching me, Xianyun. Hurry up!”
“Mhm.”
Pei Xianyun nodded, but her hands didn’t stop.
She continued to knead and shape in various ways.
