Time passed slowly, and Su Chun suddenly snapped her eyes open.
She woke to find herself lying on a soft, brocade bed, covered by a silk quilt that emitted a cold, clear fragrance.
She rubbed her heavy head.
The aftereffects of being tormented by the Soul-Sucking Technique the previous night were still there, leaving her body weak and limp.
Lingering, shameful images remained in her mind, causing her cheeks to burn once more.
‘Damn it, what a perverted woman. How is this any different from tying a man up and forcing him to watch adult films all day? Fortunately, I’m a woman now. Otherwise, I would have gone insane.’
“Awake?”
Just as Su Chun was cursing Jiang Ruoyin for being a pervert, a cool voice laced with a hint of playfulness came from nearby.
Su Chun followed the sound and saw Jiang Ruoyin sitting at a dressing table not far away, unhurriedly combing her long, pitch-black, and glossy hair.
She still wore the same moon-white palace dress.
The morning light outlined her graceful figure, making her silhouette look too beautiful to be human.
Yet, beneath that gorgeous exterior hid the heart of a female devil.
“To think a dignified Sect Leader would use such shameless methods to force a pure young girl to be your disciple. Isn’t that a bit beneath a senior expert like yourself?”
Su Chun glared at Jiang Ruoyin through gritted teeth.
Jiang Ruoyin tilted her head slightly to glance at Su Chun.
“I’m no senior expert. I am just a little woman.”
Those words left Su Chun speechless.
“Hahaha, anyway, since you’ve already won against me, you can go back on your word if you like. But you’ll have to live with the consequences,” Jiang Ruoyin continued.
She had a look that said she had Su Chun exactly where she wanted her.
“Wait, Master, I’m just curious. You said you know nothing about me. Why are you forcing me to be your disciple? Aren’t you afraid I might be a bad person?”
Jiang Ruoyin slowly rose and walked over to Su Chun.
“A bad person? Probably not. However, you aren’t from this Sky-Prison Realm, are you? Did you come from the Upper Realm?”
As soon as those words were spoken, Su Chun was struck with shock.
She couldn’t understand where she had slipped up for the other woman to see through her identity.
“How… How did you know?”
Su Chun asked after a moment of hesitation.
“I also know that you are likely from the Tantai family of Meng Hua Zhou in the Three Thousand Worlds. Your birth name is Tantai Chun, isn’t it?”
Jiang Ruoyin continued, exposing Su Chun’s true identity.
Su Chun could no longer keep her composure.
“You — that’s impossible! How could you know that? Are you also from the Upper Realm? No, that’s impossible. Wait… You didn’t peep at my memories while I was unconscious, did you?”
Jiang Ruoyin smiled.
She sat down sideways on the edge of the bed and slowly leaned toward Su Chun.
“You’re quite clever. After you fainted yesterday, I indeed used a secret technique to search your memories. It’s a pity that a part of your memory is blocked by a unique power, so I could only see the general details. It really is interesting. No wonder you were controlled by my Soul-Sucking Technique. I never imagined the Upper Realm would have a family comprised entirely of women that could even make other women pregnant. It seems we in the Sky-Prison Realm really are just frogs at the bottom of a well.”
Su Chun instinctively shrank back.
“Wh — What are you trying to do? I’m warning you, I’m not that easy! My standards for women are very high. Don’t think that just because you’re beautiful and have a high cultivation level, you can force me to do things I don’t want to do.”
Su Chun had still underestimated this Sky-Prison Realm.
Aside from the thin spiritual energy, the secrets of this realm were far more numerous than Su Chun and the others realized.
Furthermore, certain powers within the Sky-Prison Realm knew that people from the outside would enter their world every so often in search of opportunities.
Of course, for those people, it was also an opportunity of their own.
“Huh? You aren’t very old, but you certainly have thick skin. You don’t actually think I, the Sect Leader, would be interested in a little brat like you, do you?”
Jiang Ruoyin gave Su Chun a beautiful eye-roll and then stood up.
“Alright, call me Master. You can skip the three prostrations and nine kowtows. Just change how you address me.”
Su Chun’s face twitched.
After hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly squeezed out the words.
“Master.”
The greeting couldn’t have sounded more aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile curved on Jiang Ruoyin’s lips, and she turned to look at her.
“Mm, not bad. You finally have some sense. Since you’ve acknowledged me as your Master, you must follow my rules from now on. Don’t worry, I know you came down here looking for opportunities, and I won’t stop you. However, since you’ve become a disciple of my Taiyi Sect, you naturally have to do some things for us. Consider it an exchange.”
“Rules? What rules?”
Su Chun asked warily.
Jiang Ruoyin stood up and walked slowly to the bedside.
She looked down at her with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
“It’s very simple. First, you must be obedient. Second, you must be obedient. Third, you must still be obedient.”
Su Chun immediately rolled her eyes.
“Heh, sure, whatever you want.”
She now seriously suspected she had run into some female devil from an evil cult.
This woman was truly abnormal.
“Oh, right. There’s one more thing,” Jiang Ruoyin added.
“From today onward, you are the Saintess of our Taiyi Sect.”
“Saintess?”
Su Chun bolted upright from the bed.
“What Saintess? Since when did I agree to be some Saintess?”
“Just now,” Jiang Ruoyin said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“You took me as your Master, so you are naturally a member of the Taiyi Sect. Our sect has always had a Saintess lineage. With your talent, it would be a waste not to be the Saintess. Besides, you come from a major power in the Upper Realm. If our Taiyi Sect can cling to a ‘big shot’ like you, we might have hope for a comeback and take the entire sect out of the Sky-Prison Realm.”
Su Chun felt as though she were truly stuck in a huge mess.
She had been quite happy to obtain a damaged Immortal Artifact right after descending, but now she was being hounded by some unknown sect.
She was very worried that they were some kind of wicked, heretical path.
“No! I don’t want to be some Saintess. It sounds like a lot of trouble.”
Su Chun still tried to refuse.
“Trouble? Being the Saintess comes with many benefits. Doesn’t your family Bloodline allow women to get pregnant? That means you must like beauties, right? As long as you’re willing to be the Saintess, you can choose any of the beauties in our Taiyi Sect. How about it?”
Jiang Ruoyin looked at her with a half-smile.
“You — I told you, I’m not that easy!”
Su Chun was infuriated by the conditions the woman offered.
It made her sound like some kind of breeding stud.
This woman was practically a female hooligan.
“What? Not satisfied? Or do you think ordinary women aren’t good enough for you? How about this — how about your Master? I can be your Master and your woman at the same time. How does that sound?”
Jiang Ruoyin’s gaze gradually became dangerous.
She even licked her lips, looking very much like she was about to devour Su Chun.
“Fine, fine, fine! You win! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
Su Chun didn’t believe a word of the woman’s nonsense.
‘A wise person knows when to retreat, and a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years,’ Su Chun comforted herself in her heart.
Jiang Ruoyin immediately smiled with satisfaction.
“That’s a good girl. Someone, come in!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of young female cultivators dressed in moon-white robes walked into the bedchamber.
“Sect Leader.”
“Serve our new Saintess as she changes her clothes.”
Jiang Ruoyin waved her hand, and a set of shimmering, grand, moon-white attire appeared on the table.
“Hey, my cheap Master, aren’t you going to give me any time to prepare?”
Su Chun complained.
“Heh, that won’t do. I’m afraid you’ll run away. This is a treasure passed down through the generations of Saintesses in my Taiyi Sect, called the Moonlight Treasure Clothes. You will surely look beautiful in them.”
After saying that, several maidservants crowded around her.
Regardless of her protests, they hoisted Su Chun up and pressed her down in front of the dressing table.
