Lin Xinyi gripped the armrests of her wheelchair tightly.
An electrical current continued to surge through her body.
Even though it had been turned down to its lowest setting, she could still feel it clearly after just waking up.
“You! Turn that thing off!”
Lin Xinyi struggled to get out of the chair, but a gentle pair of hands from behind pressed her back down.
Qin Huaiyin’s strength wasn’t overwhelming, yet Lin Xinyi couldn’t break free.
With the two so close together, Lin Xinyi felt completely helpless.
“Master, don’t move. I accidentally turned the switch up too high just now. A cultivator of your level should be able to handle this much, right?”
“You… you bastard…”
Lin Xinyi struggled for a long time, only to realize her clothes were binding her tightly.
The current pulsed rhythmically, attacking her most vulnerable spots.
She felt like a prisoner fixed to a torture device.
Her most sensitive areas had zero defense, feeling as though a tiny brush was lightly sweeping over them.
Lin Xinyi might have been able to endure it at first, but with the constant stimulation, even her legs began to tremble.
“You! If you don’t stop your little tricks, I’ll make things difficult for you if I make a sound during the meeting in the Sect Hall!”
“But by then, Master’s embarrassing state would be completely exposed to everyone — “
Qin Huaiyin stepped to the side and touched her playfully.
She pried apart those tightly closed legs.
With a flick of her finger, her slender tip was stained with Lin Xinyi’s scent.
Seeing the Spiritual Marrow Fluid on the fingertip, Lin Xinyi’s face flushed scarlet with shame.
“Shameless!”
“Is Master praising me?”
Qin Huaiyin didn’t mind.
She lightly turned a dial on the mechanism, and the current slowly stopped.
Lin Xinyi finally had a moment to rest.
As the current died down, the strange sensations in her body subsided.
She wanted to calm her racing heart, but Qin Huaiyin gave her no chance to recover.
She pushed the doors of the Cave Abode open, and they arrived at the rain pavilion in the center.
“What… what are you doing coming out here?!”
“What am I doing? Master, have you forgotten we need to see the Sect Master?”
“Wait, we’re going out now? At least let me change my clothes!”
Lin Xinyi panicked.
The dampness between her legs made her extremely uncomfortable.
She could feel that she wasn’t wearing her undergarments.
But Qin Huaiyin didn’t give her a chance to object.
With a light push, the restrictions of the Grotto-heaven opened, and the wheelchair carrying Lin Xinyi was pushed out.
“Wait! Stop! I’m not wearing my undergarments! You aren’t seriously planning to take me to the sect like this, are you?!”
“If we go now, we should make it just in time. If we wait any longer, we’ll be late…”
“No, wait, at least let me put those pieces on! It feels so strange having the ritual robes directly against my skin!”
No matter how much she pleaded, the other girl acted as if she couldn’t hear.
Lin Xinyi’s face was beet red.
Underneath her ritual robes, her undergarments weren’t properly situated.
Even a slight pull at the seam in the middle would reveal her exquisite jade-like body.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lin Xinyi felt as if she were sitting on needles, even though that strange mechanism hadn’t been turned on.
The mountain wasn’t that tall; in the blink of an eye, they reached the base.
‘Curse her! Once I recover my strength, I’m going to strip this rebellious disciple naked and hang her at the entrance of the Cave Abode!’
Lin Xinyi gritted her teeth in hatred.
As they walked along the mountain range, disciples passed by and bowed.
She could only nod in response, terrified that her thin ritual robes wouldn’t cover her body.
She also worried her disciple would pull some other stunt along the way.
However, her fears seemed misplaced.
By the time they reached the base of the Sect Hall’s mountain, Qin Huaiyin hadn’t used that strange formation again.
Lin Xinyi had spent the whole trip on guard for nothing.
‘It seems this rebellious disciple still knows how to prioritize when it comes to important matters…’
Lin Xinyi prayed her disciple would keep this sense of priority.
Just as she relaxed, a red figure streaked past them and slammed into a nearby rock wall.
The massive impact shook the entire mountain.
Qin Huaiyin reacted faster, stepping forward to shield Lin Xinyi.
Her left hand sprouted dragon scales as she shattered a flying boulder with a single palm strike.
“Ah, made it just in time — “
As the dust settled, Lin Xinyi saw a petite figure.
The girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud.
Her crimson hair was tied into twin ponytails that draped behind her.
‘Ugh, this person is as reckless as ever…’
Lin Xinyi sighed helplessly.
She didn’t expect that her one sentence would draw the other person’s attention.
The petite figure suddenly shot out from the rock wall towards Lin Xinyi.
“Xinyi! I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Looking at the loli-like girl charging at her, Lin Xinyi’s eyes filled with terror.
Her spiritual energy wasn’t flowing smoothly yet.
If she took a direct hit from this, she’d be half-dead if not killed.
“You! Stop right there! Don’t come over here!!”
Lin Xinyi wanted to dodge in fear, but her body wouldn’t move.
Just as the other was about to collide with her, Qin Huaiyin felt the incoming heat wave.
She pushed the wheelchair aside, narrowly avoiding the impact.
A terrifying gust of wind pressure erupted, and rocks flew everywhere behind them.
Lin Xinyi turned her wheelchair to look at the deep crater behind her.
The figure slowly stood up.
“Oh my, Lin Xinyi! What’s wrong with you? Why did you dodge my passionate embrace?!”
As the girl stepped out of the dust, her face was filled with dissatisfaction.
Lin Xinyi nearly lost control of her expression upon seeing that look.
“You! Every time we meet, you charge at me without a word. And then you ask why I dodged? Don’t you have any self-awareness about what you do?!”
Lin Xinyi pointed angrily at the girl.
The petite frame was as hard as steel.
As the only Body Cultivator in the sect, her body might be small, but every step she took felt like molten iron.
Yet, she seemed completely oblivious to it.
Her ruby-like eyes reflected Lin Xinyi’s image.
Lin Xinyi felt a headache coming on.
Of all times to meet her, it had to be when she was at her weakest.
“What? Wouldn’t it be fine if you just trapped me in a formation like usual?”
Yun Yiyi was the only Body Cultivator of the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Despite her cute looks and pleasant voice, she had chosen the most difficult path of body cultivation.
People often lowered their guard because of her appearance, only to accidentally take a punch from her.
No one would imagine that Yun Yiyi’s actual cultivation had reached the Primordial Martial Realm.
She was a crazy loli capable of tearing apart magical treasures with her bare hands.
“The Sect Master summoned you. Why aren’t you going up to report instead of pestering me…”
Lin Xinyi bit her lip.
Yun Yiyi was the last person she wanted to see.
Previously, because of her blunt personality, Yun Yiyi didn’t have good relationships within the sect.
Back then, Lin Xinyi had taken an interest in her body-tempering methods.
She had tricked Yun Yiyi into her Cave Abode, got her drunk, and squeezed the information out of her.
She hadn’t expected that after just one drinking session, the girl would cling to her, calling her a “best friend” every day.
“The Sect Master’s side isn’t urgent. But you, Xinyi — you hide from me every day. I can never find you when I want to grab a drink!”
“Uh, do you really not know why I hide from you? Last time you got drunk, you smashed my Lake Pavilion to pieces with one punch. The current one is newly built…”
“Haha, sorry, sorry! I don’t remember anything when I’m drunk!”
Yun Yiyi scratched her head as she spoke, but her gaze naturally drifted to Qin Huaiyin standing behind Lin Xinyi.
She walked over and slapped Qin Huaiyin on the lower back.
“This must be your disciple. As expected of someone you taught — she actually awakened the Dragon Transformation Physique!”
“This disciple greets Elder Yun…”
“Haha, don’t be so formal! Your master and I are very close, so you can be more casual. Just call me Auntie!”
Yun Yiyi stood on her tiptoes and patted Qin Huaiyin’s shoulder, acting like they were old friends.
Qin Huaiyin hesitated for a moment before bowing slightly.
“Greetings, Auntie Yun…”
“You catch on quick! Usually, your master protects you like a treasure and won’t even let anyone catch a glimpse of you. Why was she willing to let you out today?”
“For now… perhaps Master simply wanted to bring me along…”
Qin Huaiyin looked at Lin Xinyi in the wheelchair.
Lin Xinyi avoided her gaze guiltily.
“Awakening the Dragon Transformation Physique… now that’s prime material for a Body Cultivator. Why don’t you just join my lineage instead?”
Yun Yiyi walked in circles around her, her eyes filled with appreciation for her talent.
After reaching the Primordial Martial Realm, she found it difficult to make further progress.
But a Dragon Transformation Physique was something she had always dreamed of.
Standing before her now, with the faint dragon scales and golden eyes, the girl’s talent was undeniable.
Yun Yiyi couldn’t even imagine how strong she would become as a Body Cultivator.
“Thank you for the offer, Auntie, but…”
Qin Huaiyin walked past her and returned to Lin Xinyi’s side.
She placed her hands gently on her master’s shoulders, a warm smile playing in her eyes.
“But it seems I can no longer leave my master’s side. You understand, don’t you, Auntie?”
