"Phew, finished."
Hua Xiran let out a breath of air, looking at the pile of paper she had finished reading and approving.
Hua Xiran rubbed her shoulder.
"No one, said being a sect master was just about paperwork."
Hua Xiran grumbled.
"Maybe, I should retire early and pass the position to Shuying."
Hua Xiran contemplated.
Hua Xiran did not even consider Su Meilin because this disciple of hers was all about action and barely thought; if she did think, she would not practice a random cultivation technique from the Yin-Yang Sutra Pavilion.
If Bai Shuying knew her master was about to set her up, she would have run away, saying, Sect master of the Yin-Yang Sect, No Way!
Bai Shuying barely accepted being a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect, but now you expect her to become the leader of this horny, no morals place.
Hua Xiran suddenly slapped her forehead.
"I completely forgot I wanted to discuss something with Shuying."
Hua Xiran looked outside the window and noticed the sun was setting.
"She should be in her room right about now."
Hua Xiran stood up from her seat and vanished. Soon, she appeared right outside Bai Shuying's door.
"Hmm, why is there a faint chill coming from the door?"
Hua Xiran tilted her head in confusion.
Cold air was flowing out of Bai Shuying's room from the cracks of the door. Hua Xiran slowly opened the door, which was quite rude, but in her defense, it was her prospective partner's room, no need for manners, they will wear the same pants!
Hua Xiran thought with a smile, but became stunned by what she saw.
The temperature in the room was cold, and faint traces of snow floated in the air. Hua Xiran became worried about Bai Shuying and hurriedly headed to the bed.
There, she saw a blanket covering Bai Shuying, but noticed no movement. Hua Xiran quickly pulled the blanket away, revealing Bai Shuying hugging her knees, her face pale as a sheet of white paper, her lips were almost entirely blue, and her body barely radiated any warmth.
Hua Xiran was shocked.
"Why is there so much Yin qi radiating from her body?!"
Hua Xiran felt her heart drop seeing Bai Shuying like this.
Bai Shuying was careless. Luckily, she reached a breakthrough in her demon cultivation; otherwise, she might have frozen to death.
As the saying goes, too much of something is bad for you! Bai Shuying absorbed too much Yin qi. Normally, a demon beast would take time to ingest all the energy it absorbed, slowly injecting it into its flesh and blood for an overall leap in quality then break through in cultivation, but Bai Shuying being a hybrid did not know this so all the energy accumulated in her dantian while her body unconsciously injected Yin qi into her blood and flesh.
As the input drastically increased, her body could not keep up, and with the Lustful trait acting as a catalyst led to her current situation. Her body reached a limit to how much Yin qi it could inject into her flesh and blood, so it started to expel the excess Yin qi outside, leading to a drop in temperature.
Hua Xiran saw that the situation was dire. She quickly lay down on Bai Shuying's bed and embraced her. She ran the Yin-Yang Fusion Scripture, and a tai chi symbol formed, unlike her mother's sloppy, imbalanced one; Hua Xiran's one was perfectly balanced. This showed that her foundation was very strong.
While not having a partner, Hua Xiran became meticulous about the details of her cultivation. Due to having a pure Yang body, she produced an abundance of Yang energy, so she used Yin objects to reach a balance between these two energies. Whenever she had the time, she would always refine it so it would not tilt in either direction. The only time such a situation happened was when she absorbed Bai Shuying's Yin qi.
Hua Xiran radiated a warm, bright Yang qi, but she saw that it only had a little effect on Bai Shuying.
This isn't working!
Hua Xiran started to become frustrated. She suddenly undid the sash around her waist, which unraveled her martial robes. She took off her clothes and tossed them onto the floor, now completely bare, showing her womanly charms
She looked at Bai Shuying and ripped her sect uniform into pieces. If Bai Shuying saw this, she would have wept. After all, this was her only set of clothes that she stitched back together every time her tail popped out, but it all became pieces of rags on the ground.
"This girl, why does she keep wrapping bandages around herself?!"
Hua Xiran now looked at Bai Shuying, who covered her chest and lower body with bandages, displeased.
Hua Xiran did not wear anything underneath, and she never will, after all, she takes pride in being a demoness. Even if she never checked off the most important thing for a demoness of the Yin-Yang Sect.
Hua Xiran ripped the bandages off Bai Shuying, leaving her bare, and she also undid her posture.
"Now, that's better!"
Hua Xiran nodded with satisfaction.
Hua Xiran rested Bai Shuying's head on her shoulder, wrapped her arms around Bai Shuying through her armpits, deforming both of their chests. She then wrapped her legs around Bai Shuying, pressing their abdomens together.
Hua Xiran started to run the Yin-Yang Fusion Scripture again. The warm Yang qi flowed into Bai Shuying, while the excess Yin qi that Bai Shuying's body was expelling into the air changed to enter Hua Xiran's body.
Hua Xiran felt like a piece of metal that had just come out of a burning furnace and had been dipped into cold water.
"Ah~"
She let out a satisfied moan.
Before Hua Xiran entered the room, Bai Shuying was struggling to cope with the bursts of pleasure that bombarded her body due to the Lustful trait. Bai Shuying did not know how much time had passed by, but soon the Lustful trait subsided, giving her a moment of relief.
But a glacial surge erupted from her dantian, needles of ice spiderwebbing through her meridians. First came the violent shivering, then the terrifying stillness as numbness claimed her limbs like frost creeping over a dying leaf.
Soon, her thoughts started to slow down, and she felt extremely tired, but with the stamina trait, it was difficult for her to completely pass out. Her consciousness floated in the darkness.
Until she felt a faint warmth as if sitting by a small campfire, but it could not make the cold recede. Bai Shuying craved the warmth and wanted more of it. She tried her best to capture it, but failed; the warmth disappeared.
Is this how I die?
Bai Shuying thought.
She was afraid and could not help but have her life flash before her eyes, not of her past life, but her current life as Bai Shuying.
I did not accomplish anything; I barely walked on the path of cultivation.
Bai Shuying laughed bitterly. Entering this new world, she hid in a wooden shack using the fear of being a hybrid as an excuse. The world was unfamiliar to her, and she was alone. The kindness of the villagers helped her not fall into insanity, but it created a comfort that she did not want to let go of, so she stayed.
It was not until Su Meilin changed everything for her. When Su Meilin used her sword flight to carry Bai Shuying to the Yin-Yang Sect, she realized how wide and grand the world truly was. It made her feel regretful that she limited herself to a tiny portion of it.
Bai Shuying smiled, remembering her. Then the image of her master, Hua Xiran, appeared in her mind.
Sorry, master, for being a pathetic disciple who ended herself.
Bai Shuying at least wanted a cool death; this… was kind of pathetic.
Before Bai Shuying could continue, she suddenly felt a burst of warmth shatter the cold darkness that surrounded her. Instinctively, her body craved the heat.
Bai Shuying raised her arms like a broken machine and wrapped them around Hua Xiran.
"Ah~"
Hua Xiran yelped.
Feeling the coldness of Bai Shuying's body on her hot body made her feel euphoric. Bai Shuying tightened her embrace as if wanting to merge the warmth inside her body. Hua Xiran was surprised, but smiled. She also tightened her embrace around Bai Shuying.
"Hehehehehe."
Hua Xiran giggled as she enjoyed the moment.
It was not easy for Hua Xiran to experience such things from Bai Shuying as they were master and disciple, and Bai Shuying, who had the mentality of a independent young man, did not rely on others. When she wanted to avenge Hua Qingyan, she did it with her own two hands. Also, Hua Xiran realized that Bai Shuying was somewhat dense.
It's not that Bai Shuying was dense, but she has never been in a relationship; all her knowledge comes from the media she consumed. So, even if Hua Xiran or Hua Qingyan showed such affection indirectly, it would just fly over Bai Shuying's head. After all, in these shows, one character was passive while the other party was aggressive. Bai Shuying took the passive role, not that she wanted to. So, Hua Xiran, Hua Qingyan, and Su Meilin should just embrace their inner demonesses and be very aggressive; they might have better luck with getting what they want, but alas, they were kind at heart, not like a certain Elder sleeping around the sect.
Bai Shuying's pale face slowly turned rosy while her blue lips turned back to their natural red. Bai Shuying's cultivation art did not activate by itself this time. Sensing the danger, Bai Shuying's body and subconsciousness allowed Hua Xiran's Yang qi to encompass and enter Bai Shuying.
Bai Shuying's fox ears and two tails sprouted; she rubbed her cheek against Hua Xiran like an animal showing affection. Bai Shuying was doing this unconsciously, but Hua Xiran did not know this.
Hua Xiran was stunned, and soon a faint blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head, burying it into Bai Shuying's neck. She inhaled the fragrance emitted from Bai Shuying's body.
The fragrance trait strengthened as Bai Shuying's demon cultivation increased. Hua Xiran became intoxicated by the scent.
Does this mean?
Hua Xiran thought with excitement, feeling a fire starting to burn in her lower abdomen.
Hua Xiran moved her head, ready to begin, but she heard the faint snoring of Bai Shuying. Hua Xiran felt as if she was dosed with cold water.
Hua Xiran gritted her teeth.
Again! This little temptress always leaves me hanging!
As a woman who has been single for her whole life, having a piece of tantalizing meat dangling in front of this tigress only to have it reeled back when she pounced made Hua Xiran feel extremely frustrated.
She inhaled a breath of air through her mouth and exhaled through her nose, trying to cool herself down, but she noticed a pair of fox ears swaying in front of her.
Hua Xiran looked at them in a daze, then mischievously smiled, her eyes sparkled.
Hua Xiran raised her hand, cupped Bai Shuying's fox ear, rubbing the back with her index finger while simultaneously using her thumb to rub the inside of the fox ear.
So soft!
Hua Xiran was amazed at the sensation in her hand, and she ignored the trembling Bai Shuying in her arms.
In their humanoid form, fox ears and tails are very sensitive; they are considered the intimate parts of a fox, and only their loved ones could touch them, but Bai Shuying, who was raised in the human realm without her mother's guidance, had no clue about foxes.
She continued to play with Bai Shuying's fox ears until she saw her two red fox tails. Seeing these two swaying red tails, Hua Xiran gulped. She extended her left hand and patted one of the tails.
"S-so silky soft."
Hua Xiran said softly in a low voice.
Hua Xiran started to rub Bai Shuying's fox ears and tails for minutes.
"Ah, that felt good."
Hua Xiran said with satisfaction, her earlier frustration gone.
Hua Xiran removed her arms from around Bai Shuying and tried to separate from her, but she frowned, feeling the sticky sensation below. Hua Xiran looked down, and what she saw made her embarrassed.
"Shuying, how could you?"
Hua Xiran shamelessly placed all the blame on the sleeping Bai Shuying. Hua Xiran quickly lifted Bai Shuying and ran to the bathroom.
…
Su Meilin, with an expressionless face, walked out of the Task Hall.
Hmm, I restocked all the pills I may need, stored food and water, and all the materials I need to create formation plates are gathered. Now, is there anything else I need to take with me to the secret realm?
Su Meilin thought in her mind.
Su Meilin was preparing things she might need when she entered the secret realm. After suffering from the three disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect had shown the importance of having a hidden trump card.
When Su Meilin was a beggar, she was scrappy and resourceful, but over time, being protected by her master dulled her. When she was brought to the Yin-Yang Sect, she had never stepped outside until her master permitted her, and when she did go outside, she underestimated the danger she would face. If it were not for Bai Shuying treating her, she may have suffered at the hands of those men.
Just thinking about it chilled Su Meilin's heart.
How did they know I was going through that area?
Su Meilin thought the attack from the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples was strange, as if they were waiting for her, on purpose, ready to ambush her.
"Oh, if it isn't Meilin, are you out of seclusion?"
A charming voice broke Su Meilin out of her thoughts, but when she saw the woman who spoke to her, her violet eyes turned colder.
"Yes, Elder Mo, I just finished my seclusion."
Mo Xingyu ignored the coldness in Su Meilin's voice and smiled.
"Hmm, Meilin, since you already reached the foundation establishment realm, have you thought of taking an official dao companion?"
"No."
Su Meilin coldly said, but at the mention of Dao companion, Bai Shuying flashed through her mind. Hearing her answer, Mo Xingyu smiled even more.
"Oh, then why not consider my disciple Xiao Wuji?"
Su Meilin looked at her with a blank expression. Mo Xingyu's lip twitched for a moment. After all, out of all the men in the Yin-Yang Sect, who would partner up with a man with a mental illness?
"Ehm, I think it's better if Elder Mo kept him."
Su Meilin suggested. She believed these two sickos were perfect for each other.
Mo Xingyu's smile faltered.
Why would I want him?! I've been trying to get rid of the brat!
Mo Xingyu, who had no standards, would do it with any man; to her, her body was just a tool to walk on the dao of dual cultivation, but even she avoided her disciple due to his nasty fetishes.
"That's a shame. Maybe I should ask Xiran's new disciple, what was her name again, Bai Shuying?"
Mo Xingyu said while tapping her chin.
When Su Meilin heard this, she felt angry on the inside, but soon showed a slight smile on her charming, cold face.
"My junior sister is not interested in people she will defeat."
Su Meilin threw a jab at Mo Xingyu while Mo Xingyu narrowed her eyes.
"Humph, that depends, if she's capable of winning."
Mo Xingyu became irritated and walked away with heavy steps. Su Meilin smiled and walked away with light steps.
