Chapter 102 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 13 Daoist Partner?

He licked the blood seeping from her lips, savoring the taste as he used the tip of his tongue to tease the wound, while his scalp strangely felt a tingling sensation.

He stopped biting and instead kissed her.

Yun Chiyi's eyes widened, his teeth loosened, and he instinctively reached in.

She never imagined that Lin Yuwan would kiss her so suddenly; everything was beyond what should be done based on their affection level.

Lin Yuwan's body trembled with pain, even the tip of his tongue was shaking, and finally, he fainted from the pain.

Yun Chiyi put her arm around his shoulder, gazing wistfully at the dense, oppressive treetop, her fingertips rubbing her lips, which were wet and stained with blood.

"You're panicking and don't know where to go. If you need demonic power, I can transfer it to you."

He was incredibly heavy on her body as he lay there. Yun Chiyi turned over and sat up, feeling a burning pain in her lips.

She took a deep breath and checked on Lin Yuwan's condition first.

Her face was flushed and her breathing was rapid and shallow, but she should be fine now.

Two hours later, Lin Yuwan opened her eyes in a daze. After calming herself down, she saw Yun Chiyi leaning against a tree trunk, flipping through the Book of a Hundred Demons.

"It's good that you're awake." She was staring intently at the picture book.

Lin Yuwan pressed his temples, his memories gradually returning. He quickly glanced at Yun Chiyi's lips; the wound had scabbed over and was hanging on her soft lower lip.

"Can we walk?" Yun Chiyi asked.

Lin Yuwan pressed her head hard: "No, my head hurts."

Yun Chiyi looked up: "If we don't go now, they might be devoured by the tree demon."

She spread the booklet on the ground and pointed her fair finger at it: "The Hundred Tree Demon is good at disguising itself as a human. It likes to eat human blood and can emit poisonous mist that obstructs the dantian. All the tree trunks on the surface are connected by a single root. As long as you find the main root, you can cut it off."

"The Hundred Tree Demon is a great demon with a root system that stretches for hundreds of miles. Its inner core is different from other demon cores and can be directly used in medicine and alchemy."

Yun Chiyi continued, "If you add a little withered vine, you won't have a relapse for at least six months."

She realized Lin Yuwan wasn't listening at all, so she slapped him on the head: "Why are you looking at me? Look at the picture."

Lin Yuwan looked down at the Hundred Demons Painting.

Last night seemed like an ordinary night to her. Was there anything else in the world that she cared about?

He chuckled to himself, put away the drawing, and stood up.

Yun Chiyi asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Yuwan replied, "It's just that I find it amusing that my senior sister has become so magnanimous."

Yun Chiyi said frankly, "Then what should I do? Just because you kissed me, should I make a scene and demand that you take responsibility? Lin Yuwan, you were not in your right mind at the time, I won't hold it against you."

"Furthermore, your kissing skills are terrible, completely lacking in technique; I don't even want to recall them."

Lin Yuwan's ears suddenly turned red. How could she have been so outspoken?

Most importantly, she said he had no skills, so how would she know what skills were?

Lin Yuwan's face turned pale, and she grabbed Yun Chiyi's hand: "It sounds like Senior Sister has been through countless battles."

Yun Chiyi smiled faintly: "I won't argue with you about these useless things."

Lin Yuwan couldn't stand her aloof attitude, so she gripped her hand tightly, her smile sinking into the depths of her eyes.

“Junior brother, I am now thinking of you wholeheartedly and planning to hunt demons so that you will not suffer again in the short term. If I were as stingy as you, wouldn’t that be unfair to you?”

She called him her junior brother, a title she had never used since their reunion.

The fierce look between Lin Yuwan's brows gradually faded, and her expression softened: "Senior Sister still considers me."

Yun Chiyi's voice softened slightly: "Yes, of course."

Lin Yu was at peace and headed towards the village from the previous day, discussing with her along the way how to find the tree root in one strike.

After walking through the forest for about fifteen minutes, a blue light flowed in the air, forming an extremely strong defensive array. Yun Chiyi took the lead and flew over. In the center of the array, Wan Qingyun was holding an oil-paper umbrella. Under his protection, the Si siblings were sitting leisurely playing cards.

Outside, the roots of ancient trees turned upside down, flying in the air and causing chaos.

Lin Yuwan arrived shortly after, her eyes showing surprise: "Three Green Umbrellas."

The Three Green Umbrellas are made from snake bones and blue-and-white animal hides, soaked in the waters of Heavenly Pool for thousands of years, making them the most durable defensive magical artifacts in the world.

It's probably something he picked up by accident again. The protagonist and the cannon fodder have very different fates. Yun Chiyi and Lin Yuwan entered the defensive formation one after the other.

Wan Qingyun was overjoyed to see Yun Chiyi: "Senior Sister, where have you been!"

Yun Chiyi lowered her eyes and looked at where he was standing. Outside, dust filled the sky, and it looked like the earth was about to collapse, but here he was safe and sound.

"Start the battle, cut the tree roots."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuwan looked at Wan Qingyun's feet with a clear understanding. The main root was hard to find, but it was right under his feet by sheer chance.

After a brief exchange, the group of people stood in four different directions around Wan Qingyun.

The demon-locking formation was activated first, and the ground beneath his feet began to sway. Wan Qingyun was terrified and struggled to steady his swaying body.

Wan Qingyun is also bait at this moment.

Si Lanjuan transmitted the message from afar: "You must kill him in one strike, otherwise young friend Wan's life will be in danger."

Lin Yuwan's lips curled slightly: "It still depends on how fast Senior Sister's sword is."

How could she dare to treat the male lead's life so lightly? Yun Chiyi's body was suspended in mid-air, her dark hair flying, as she poured all her spiritual power into the tip of her sword, closed her eyes, and concentrated.

She heard a faint cracking sound and told Wan Qingyun to dodge. Wan Qingyun's legs went weak and she lunged to the side. Yun Chiyi stepped into the air and flew out like an arrow. At the same time, blood-red tree roots burst out of the ground and collided head-on with Yun Chiyi.

The silver sword pierced the tree root, blood splattering everywhere. Warm drops of blood splashed onto Yun Chiyi's face, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

Lin Yuwan swung her long arm upwards, and her long sword shot out like lightning: "Stop."

The tree roots were nailed in the distance, writhing wildly like a giant python.

Yun Chiyi was almost swept away and quickly retreated to her position. The four of them worked together from four directions to pour spiritual energy into the silver sword.

The silver sword hummed, and golden light condensed on it. With a loud bang, sticky liquid and tree roots exploded everywhere. Fortunately, Wan Qingyun opened the Three Green Umbrellas in time, preventing everyone from being injured by the aftershocks.

The four covered their mouths and noses, waiting for the blood mist to dissipate. Si Lanjuan rushed to the location of the silver sword and exclaimed, "Strange, why doesn't this tree demon have a demon core? How do we exchange it for spirit stones?"

Yun Chiyi sheathed her silver sword and walked side by side with Lin Yuwan in the mist. Wan Qingyun, covered in dust, peeked out from under the three green umbrellas: "Perhaps he was blown up."

The five were overjoyed to have killed the tree demon. Suddenly, ten thousand golden rays descended from the sky, illuminating the village. The light was as bright as day. Yun Chiyi squinted and looked up warily. When she saw the familiar formation, she relaxed her brow.

Si Lanjuan: "This is Qingming's Demon-Locking Array, which requires the combined efforts of nine disciples to activate."

The demon-locking formation then dissipated, and nine golden lights landed. Wan Qingyun, seeing that something was wrong, quickly hid behind Yun Chiyi.

Yun Chiyi bowed slightly and asked, "What brings you senior brothers to Changlinhai?"

The nine senior brothers appeared, and upon seeing Yun Chiyi, they immediately smiled.

"We also heard that a hundred tree demon was wreaking havoc in this place, but we didn't expect our junior sister to beat us to it."

Another senior brother frowned: "Why is junior sister in such a sorry state?"

Yun Chiyi was covered in blood. Other senior brothers took the initiative to perform a cleansing spell, and then they saw the timid person behind her.

"Wan Qingyun, weren't you in Qingming? How dare you come down the mountain without permission?"

Wan Qingyun was so nervous she could barely speak: "This..."

Yun Chiyi took half a step forward and reached out to block Wan Qingyun's figure: "He was traveling with me. This is a long story, and I will explain the reason later."

The nine senior brothers objected in unison: "Only those who have secured a spot at the Star-Stepping Banquet can leave the mountain; junior sister cannot protect them."

Lin Yuwan crossed her arms, blood still staining her face: "What my senior brothers said is true; we must be fair and just."

He's addicted to kicking people when they're down. Yun Chiyi is at her wit's end. The male lead's halo is still useful, but she doesn't want to argue with everyone too much. So she turns to Wan Qingyun and says, "Junior brother, why don't you tell your senior brothers what you think? If they agree, you can stay."

Wan Qingyun reached out to stop her: "Senior sister, senior sister, no, you have to help me."

The two senior brothers pulled Wan Qingyun aside, and when the others saw that there were still people from the Cangfeng Sect, they gathered together to exchange pleasantries.

They weren't very interested either, and after introducing themselves, they talked to Yun Chiyi.

“Junior sister, I hunted a water demon in the mountains the other day and sealed its inner core in this glass bead. I will give it to you as a water-repelling bead in the future.”

"You dare to give away an ordinary water-repelling bead? Fourth Junior Brother. Junior Sister, last time I saw you glance at Master's teacup, this is a snowflake stone that I specially collected from the snow mountain. I gave it to you as a gift. Making it into a teacup can also ward off all poisons."

"Junior sister, I know you don't like hairpins and jewelry..."

Several people squeezed in to talk, while Lin Yuwan was pushed outside to stand with the Si siblings.

Si Qingwu's eyes sparkled: "Senior Sister Yun is deeply loved by the senior brothers. If we could become Daoist partners with her, the other senior brothers would be so angry they'd vomit blood."

"A Daoist partner?" The night wind made Lin Yuwan's clothes flutter loudly.

Si Lanjuan added, "However, she cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, and having a Daoist partner is merely a pipe dream for others."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuwan's expression remained calm, revealing no emotion: "Let's go out first; they won't finish talking in a short time."

Si Qingwu was a little reluctant: "Then let's tell Senior Sister Yun first, otherwise we won't be able to run into her again."

Lin Yuwan said, "In the end, we all have to go to the Star-Treading Banquet."

The three waved to Wan Qingyun and took the lead in leaving Changlinhai through the teleportation array.

*

Two days later, in Changlin Town, at Juxianlou.

Yun Chiyi and her nine senior brothers stayed here temporarily, and Wan Qingyun somehow persuaded the others to stay as well.

The Qingming disciples all lived in the top-tier rooms, and Yun Chiyi, who didn't have much money, benefited from their accommodations.

After having tea downstairs, Yun Chiyi went upstairs, opened the door, and placed her sword on the table.

Finally, it's quiet.

If it weren't for the upcoming Star-Treading Banquet, where disciples from all sects would have to wait in Linhai Town for their hairpin tokens, she wouldn't have bothered traveling with them.

She took a sip of tea, her eyes suddenly narrowing: "Who?"

A figure flashed out from beside the bed curtains and instantly sat opposite Yun Chiyi.

Even if he doesn't come, she will still go to find him.

Yun Chiyi picked up her teacup: "You still have no manners at all, entering a woman's boudoir as you please."

Lin Yuwan didn't reply but asked instead, "How have you been these past two days, Senior Sister?"

Yun Chiyi said, "Not quite, not quite..."

Before she could finish speaking, the teacup in her hand shattered, spilling tea onto her dress.

She shouldn't have said the important things last...
