Qin Huaiyin’s hands were bound, making it impossible for her to move even a single finger.
Even though Lin Xinyi’s consciousness was somewhat sluggish, she was still staring at the beauty lying on the bed.
Lin Xinyi did not lower her guard.
These chains were a restraint that even someone in the same realm could not easily break free from.
Qin Huaiyin had no way out and could only let her hands be controlled at the head of the bed.
“Master’s hobbies… naturally, your disciple would not dare to say anything…”
Qin Huaiyin slowly closed her eyes, looking completely like she was ready to be plucked.
Lin Xinyi was not polite either.
She leaned down and lightly sniffed the fragrance emanating from the furnace she had nurtured for many years.
“A Saintly Body is indeed a Saintly Body. The spiritual energy is pure and stainless, and the body is soft and delicate—”
Lin Xinyi could not wait to taste this wonderful body.
Even if she refined the other’s cultivation, there was no reason she couldn’t keep this body as a companion.
On boring nights, a little movement of her fingertips would be a delightful thing.
“Master… it hurts…”
A tender voice instantly pulled Lin Xinyi’s thoughts back.
The sound of tearing fabric followed.
The silk-like gauze dress was instantly torn open, exposing fair skin.
Although Qin Huaiyin’s body trembled with fear, she had no room for resistance.
“Beautiful… truly beautiful.”
Feeling slightly tipsy, Lin Xinyi gently reached a finger into the other’s mouth, feeling the touch of that soft tongue.
Suddenly, there was a sting at the tip.
Lin Xinyi frowned slightly, watching her own blood flow from her fingertip into the other’s mouth.
A drop of blood even trickled down the corner of that mouth, a scene filled with a sense of tragic beauty.
Rarely did Lin Xinyi feel any irritation.
Instead, she looked at her eldest disciple, who was resisting her for the first time, with great interest.
“What is it? Are you so afraid that you can’t even control your mouth?”
Lin Xinyi did not pull back because of the wound.
Instead, she used that injured finger to press down on the other’s tongue.
Qin Huaiyin’s body trembled slightly, but because her tongue was pinned, she could not even speak.
“Mmph, mmph…”
When Lin Xinyi withdrew her finger, she looked at the trace of blood dripping from the tip.
Her playfulness was piqued.
She slowly leaned down and gently licked off the remaining drop of her own blood from the other’s cheek.
Then, she impatiently began to taste the delicacy before her.
“Just treat it as a dream. I will be gentle.”
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyin slowly closed her eyes as if she had given up all struggle.
Lin Xinyi slowly shed her outer garments, intending to perform the act of grinding mirrors right then and there.
She even leaned down and left a mark of her own on the collarbone.
“Ma… Master… my hands hurt. Can you…”
Because of the physical stimulation, Qin Huaiyin’s arms struggled unconsciously, causing the fair skin around her wrists to turn red from the restraints.
However, even in this state, Lin Xinyi had no intention of letting go.
Instead, she lowered her head and slowly leaned toward the other’s ear, gently biting the soft earlobe.
“Disciple, just bear with it for a while.”
After saying this, Lin Xinyi’s fingers slowly explored downward, gently caressing the soft abdomen.
The white-jade-like texture was intoxicating.
But as she followed the curves of the body downward, a soft groan escaped Qin Huaiyin’s mouth.
Lin Xinyi originally wanted to taste the fruit of her labor like this, but she never expected the Supreme Bone inside her body to suddenly react.
“This… what is going on?!”
Lin Xinyi’s brow furrowed slightly.
Immediately after, she felt the residual spiritual energy in the room beginning to converge into her body again.
It was as if a potent spiritual medicine was being forced into her body.
“No… this isn’t right…!”
Lin Xinyi sensed something was wrong.
Her expression turned cold, and she wanted to resist, but her entire body instantly went limp.
Lin Xinyi’s body slumped quietly onto Qin Huaiyin.
Even she was in a state of confusion.
‘What… what is happening?’
This was the first time Lin Xinyi had encountered such a situation.
She wanted to use the strength in her arms to push herself up, only to find that her entire body refused to obey.
No matter how much strength she used or how she tried to circulate her spiritual energy, she could not move her body an inch.
‘Is this Spirit Drunkenness really this severe? Why is it that I can’t even circulate my spiritual energy properly…’
After a long pause, although the spiritual energy in her body was becoming more and more abundant, she still could not muster any strength.
She barely used her spiritual energy to force her meridians to move, finally supporting herself up with her arms.
“Ma… Master?”
Qin Huaiyin’s confused voice came from above.
Lin Xinyi first exhaled a breath of turbid air, then feigned calmness as she sat up, supporting herself against the edge of the bed with her arms.
At the same time, she leaned weakly against the wall.
Although her body had become inexplicably lethargic, she still forced herself to unlock the chains on the other’s hands.
“I have suddenly lost interest today. You should head back first.”
Lin Xinyi didn’t even have the strength to lift her hand, but she still didn’t want Qin Huaiyin to see the anomaly.
She even used her usual expression to urge the other to leave.
Qin Huaiyin covered her chest with her arms, as her clothes had long since been torn.
After sitting up, she rubbed her reddened wrists and then looked at the nearby Lin Xinyi with a face full of concern.
“Master, what is wrong with your body?”
“What could possibly be wrong with my body? I simply lost interest. Leave, quickly.”
There was a hint of irritability in Lin Xinyi’s voice.
Clearly, this sudden situation had caught her off guard.
She didn’t even understand if it was because of the excess spiritual energy.
‘Wh… why won’t it stop…’
Lin Xinyi wanted to control the flow of spiritual energy to stop absorbing the surrounding essence, but the Supreme Bone seemed to have escaped her control, continuing to absorb incessantly.
For every bit of spiritual energy added, her body grew a bit weaker.
Lin Xinyi looked up, only to find that Qin Huaiyin was sitting right next to her.
The girl even reached out a hand, wanting to touch her.
Lin Xinyi used all her strength to slap the hand away.
“I told you to leave. Did you not hear me?”
Lin Xinyi’s tone was icy.
She could not let the other see that her body was not obeying her.
She thought this would scare the other away, but to her surprise, Qin Huaiyin began to leisurely tidy her clothes.
“You… what are you doing?”
Lin Xinyi was stunned.
Usually, if she showed even a hint of anger, the other would be terrified.
Now, the girl was actually removing her tattered clothes in front of her with such nonchalance.
“I told you to get out! Did you not hear me!”
Lin Xinyi’s voice began to tremble.
It was clear she could no longer hold on.
She couldn’t care about anything else and could only sit cross-legged on the bed to try and stabilize her mind, hoping to refine the spiritual energy that was being absorbed.
“The taste of absorbing the Supreme Bone is quite good, isn’t it, Master?”
“What… what are you saying…”
When Qin Huaiyin said this, she gently tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear with her finger.
There was a hint of contempt in her eyes.
Lin Xinyi finally sensed that something was wrong.
When would Qin Huaiyin ever dare to speak to her in such a tone?
She immediately realized that the person before her might not be the Qin Huaiyin she knew.
Lin Xinyi wanted to reach for her longsword, but as soon as she stood up, she fell uncontrollably to the floor.
“Who… who are you?!!”
“How pathetic. Do you not even recognize me?”
Qin Huaiyin looked down at Lin Xinyi, who had fallen to the floor and found even crawling to be a far-off dream.
She slowly crouched down and reached out her fingertips to gently lift the long hair from the other’s eyes.
That exquisite face now looked so unfamiliar in Lin Xinyi’s eyes.
“Does it feel strange? Why is your entire body devoid of strength?”
“It was your trick… you poisoned me?”
“The blood of a Black Flood Dragon is a great supplement. It is just that you, Master, having just broken through your realm, cannot withstand such nourishment.”
This one sentence instantly made Lin Xinyi recall that quiet pool.
Her heart turned cold.
The other person had been planning this from the very beginning.
Lin Xinyi struggled to lift her head, wanting to circulate the spiritual energy in her body to kill the other.
However, when she looked up, what she saw was Qin Huaiyin with tears in her eyes.
“The thought of killing Master next… my heart hurts like it’s being pierced by needles.”
“You! What do you mean!”
Before Lin Xinyi could react to those words, a thin rope about the thickness of a thumb was already looped around her neck.
It was tossed over a roof beam, and with a pull of the other’s fingers, Lin Xinyi was instantly strangled and hung in mid-air.
“Mmph! Mmph!”
Lin Xinyi was instantly enveloped by an intense sense of suffocation.
Her entire body began to struggle.
In a life-or-death situation, the spiritual energy she exploded with began to tear at the rope around her neck, but she found that she could not break it no matter what.
“The dragon tendon of a Black Jiao happens to be something that a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot break.”
Qin Huaiyin slowly shed her clothes.
Looking at Lin Xinyi hanging in mid-air, she reached out and gently cupped the other’s cheeks.
However, Lin Xinyi, gripped by suffocation, no longer even had the strength to struggle.
She could only hang limply, her consciousness blurring as she watched Qin Huaiyin walk toward her.
‘Why… why is it like this again…’
Lin Xinyi questioned herself internally.
She didn’t understand.
She had been so careful.
Qin Huaiyin didn’t even have any means of attack, so how could she have the ability to kill that flood dragon?
But when she looked at Qin Huaiyin again, it seemed as if those purple tresses turned silver in an instant.
At that moment, Lin Xinyi finally understood the other’s identity.
“BAI! QIAN! QIAN!!”
That name was like a curse.
When she spoke it, Lin Xinyi’s voice sounded like she was grinding her teeth.
She had clearly ground the other’s bones to ash and scattered them.
Why was she still alive?
“Master actually remembers my name? I am moved.”
The good disciple named Bai Qianqian gently cupped her cheeks.
Lin Xinyi gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she did not have the slightest strength to resist.
“However, there is no reward for guessing correctly.”
Lin Xinyi was about to lose consciousness from suffocation, but her clothes were suddenly torn open by the other.
Bai Qianqian licked the corner of her mouth and gently kissed that soft abdomen.
Lin Xinyi’s eyes were filled with unwilling resentment.
‘Another ending like this? You must be joking! I won’t accept this! I won’t accept this!’
This time, she didn’t even have a chance to circulate her spiritual energy.
The Supreme Bone she regarded as a treasure had become the tool used to harm her.
“Forget it. Since this time failed as well, Master, just let me have my way with you.”
Lin Xinyi heard the other say those mysterious words, but her consciousness grew increasingly blurred.
Her memory stopped the moment the other’s hand climbed onto her body.
‘If there is a next time…’
Lin Xinyi’s last thought ended at that moment.
Immediately after, the spark of life was completely extinguished.
Her struggling hands hung down limply.
“Did she die at just this level?”
Bai Qianqian looked at Lin Xinyi, who hung motionless in the air.
A longsword flashed, and the other fell, landing in her arms.
Bai Qianqian looked at Lin Xinyi in her arms with a complex gaze.
Those lifeless eyes seemed to want to say something even in the final moment.
She gently embraced the corpse, which still held a hint of warmth, and placed it smoothly on the bed.
“This time was a failure too.”
