Ning Mingmei finds himself transmigrated into a dark-themed cultivation novel, taking on the role of the unfortunate ‘cold and aloof master’ destined to be killed by his disciple, the male prot...

hot.
It's the familiar heat again.
But the feeling this time was more intense than any previous time. If the previous one was a trickle, the current one is like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.
Tsunamis came in wave after wave, sweeping away the rocks on the shore and the tourists looking out on the shore.
...When Ning Mingmei regained consciousness a little, he saw a Qiankun bag that he was pointing at. The Qiankun bag was opened, but there was nothing inside.
Lian Chengyue’s blood has been drunk!
At this moment, he was leaning against the stone wall deep in the cave, his Adam's apple rolling and his eyes closed, gasping for breath. Qi Miancheng was still walking outside: "Junior brother?"
"Junior brother?"
The cave was very quiet, except for the sound of dripping water and the echo of Qi Miancheng's voice.
But that voice really didn't sound like a voice calling anyone.
Rather, it was extremely light and faint, and its echo was amplified in the cave, like countless tiny hands with thin fingers climbing the steep stone wall, pushing aside the willow vines hanging on both sides of the stone crevices, drilling in from all directions, and stretching out arms as soft as snakes.
Until he strangled the raised yet overly slender wet neck that was regarded as his prey.
Ning Mingmei: "System."
“…”
Ning Mingmei: "System."
"A special scenario has been detected and the privacy shielding mode has been automatically turned on for you." A mechanical electronic voice responded to him.
Ning Mingmei: "..."
Shit. Where does the grading system come from?
Ning Mingmei still had his eyes closed. At this moment, he felt a little strange because the footsteps and the voice calling him had disappeared.
The only sound that came to my ears was the faint, echoing sound of dripping water in the cave.
Until he opened his eyes a little. Above his head, he saw a pale face staring at him from the cave entrance.
"Junior brother, you are here." he said.
Ning Mingmei couldn't move. As long as you move, you will make a sound. He watched the man jump down from the cave entrance and reach his side: "Brother, what happened? Why are you running back suddenly, but you are not feeling well?"
Still a gentle and caring tone.
"Junior brother, you look the same now as when you came back from Yaochuan City. Is it an old illness?"
Ning Mingmei looked at him through his misty glasses. No one could see his eyes through the lenses, and one could only guess from his slightly open lips and curled fingers with pink joints that he must be in a state of panic and extreme nervousness.
It was as if someone who had always been high and mighty finally showed a little vulnerability.
It was not until the newcomer placed his finger on the other's pulse that he got any reaction from Ning Mingmei. Ning Mingmei's wrist obviously struggled, trying to avoid him.
"Junior brother, I can find out the cause of your illness and inject your Qi into you. Right now, your Qi is in a mess. Since you are my junior brother, no matter what the reason is, whether it is Qi reversal or you are possessed by a demon, I will not tell anyone. No matter what happens, I am your senior brother, and I will stand by you."
After saying that, he reached out again.
The finger was flicked away again.
This time, it was not Ning Mingmei's wrist that was struggling, but Ning Mingmei's true energy.
"Really? You don't like this." the man said in a low voice.
“…”
Ning Mingmei still hid his expression behind his glasses and said nothing.
But his nails dug deeper and deeper into his palms, and the veins on the back of his hands were throbbing with force, indicating that he was trying his best to endure it. His legs were curled up inside his sweat-soaked shirt, revealing his restlessness at the moment.
On the other side of the glasses, Qi Miancheng looked at him.
If there were someone here, they would be shocked that the bright and clear-minded Master Qi would have such a look.
His face was still smiling, and he was as gentle and amiable as he always was. But his eyes at this moment were extremely dark.
It is an unprecedented persistent exploration, the unhappiness of being rejected again, and also an extreme interest, desire to explore and conquer.
There is also a gloomy rationality that is neither human nor inhuman, and the switch to decide to take new measures.
But behind all the unhappiness and gloom, there is a very special look. The beauty's body was vivid and charming, but what he was always paying attention to was Ning Mingmei's "reaction".
It is the reaction, not the aroma, not the flesh, but something in the soul that seems to be glimpsed behind all kinds of reactions, deeper than the flesh, more internal than the bones.
This time, he directly grabbed Ning Mingmei's wrist.
A few months passed, and Ning Mingmei's wrist became thinner than before - not in a frail way, but with distinct joints, and at the same time felt strong, and so brittle and straight that you could hear the crackling of bones when crushed.
The fingers gripped the smooth skin, as pink and white as peach blossoms in spring, but what it wanted to pinch were the bones beneath the skin that were so hard that they hurt.
"Qi Miancheng."
He finally heard Ning Mingmei's hoarse voice.
"Junior brother, relax and breathe, like this, follow my rhythm, one inhale, one exhale." Qi Miancheng used his hand to touch his abdomen, "One inhale, one exhale, like my breathing frequency. Focus on your muscles. One inhale, one exhale."
“…”
Through the clothes, the hands did touch the speaker's abdominal muscles.
Unlike Qi Miancheng's gentle and handsome face, there was indeed a very strong abdominal muscle hidden under his clothes. The feeling it gives people is completely opposite to Qi Miancheng's appearance.
It was a very aggressive feeling.
But Qi Miancheng said, "Brother, I am using my abdominal muscles. You should be able to feel how they change and feel with my breathing."
“…”
Qi Miancheng said gently: "Do you feel that your breathing has become a little easier?"
"……snort."
The owner of the arm did not struggle. Instead, he lowered his head and uttered a "humph".
"Brother, don't be afraid." The man said softly, "Brother is here. Soon, everything will be fine... Tell brother what happened, okay?"
These words don't sound like concern, but rather like temptation.
Step by step, she lured him into her gentle rhythm and into the spider's caring trap. First he owed a favor, then he accepted a favor, and then they became fellow apprentices with a good relationship as he wished.
Moreover, he never mentioned that Ning Mingmei's outburst at this moment was due to his own furnace physique.
He also never mentioned that Ning Mingmei was brought back to Qingji Sect by Taoist Wuwei because of his need.
Over the past few hundred years, he and Ning Mingmei have been fellow apprentices for hundreds of years, but they never mentioned it. Even people like Fang Wuyu, who shared the same opinion with Qi Miancheng, thought that he knew nothing about it.
In the past, he sat upright on Diaoyutai and never moved a finger towards him, acting like an upright and polite good senior brother. So everyone thought so.
Those who determine that he does not know the truth, consider him to be ignorant and upright. Those who believe that he knows the truth believe that he is gentle but more upright. It can be said that you can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. Master Qi was always so bright and cheerful when he came and went, and no one thought that he would have other thoughts.
Until this moment.
Qi Miancheng, who had always been aloof and had never shown any interest in the furnace and cauldron in the past, finally revealed his undisguised interest in the present Ning Mingmei in the cave.
——Just like a spider that had no interest in its previous food finally saw a colorful butterfly. What’s even more coincidental is that he discovered that the butterfly could have belonged to him. So little by little, patiently, he began to weave the snare, adopting various postures and testing the depth of the snare.
And it itself sits on the net, watching the beautiful posture of the butterfly being entangled in the net on its own initiative.
“…”
"Still don't want to say it? It doesn't matter. Do you want me to give you some true energy? The Qi family's skills are special, you will get better soon." The other party said.
The spider took advantage of the fly's weakness and stared at it, intending to tear it apart and eat it.
really.
“Senior Brother…”
The spiders moved closer to each other to hear each other's whispers.
But the next second, he was pushed to the ground by the opponent who suddenly attacked him!
Qi Miancheng did not struggle, but lay down obediently.
He raised his head and looked at Ning Mingmei who was riding on him.
The joints were still protruding and the bones were still easily broken, and the misted glasses still made it impossible for him to see the other person's face clearly. But at this moment, the other party pressed one hand on the junction of his cervical vertebra and clavicle, accurately locking all his breathing.
Therefore, all opportunities for him to speak were blocked.
Ning Mingmei held him down and sniffed around his body, as if trying to find a way to steal his true energy. Qi Miancheng looked at him and just tilted his head.
"Junior brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Mingmei seemed to be extremely angry. He lowered his head, as if looking for a place on the other person's body, and then suddenly bit Qi Miancheng's arm hard!
There, there was a wound that was once cut by the Demon Lord, and now it has scabbed over.
But this time, the wound was bitten open again, and Ning Mingmei buried his head in his arm, causing the other's blood to fill his mouth.
During the entire process, he did not release his fingers pressing on Qi Miancheng's throat - not even for a moment. Having one's throat held is extremely uncomfortable for anyone.
But Qi Miancheng just looked at him, as if the pain in his throat and arms did not come from his body.
Finally, Ning Mingmei raised his head.
He was wearing glasses and there was blood on the corners of his lips. Then, as if he was a little disgusted, he wiped his mouth on Qi Miancheng's clothes.
"Junior brother." Qi Miancheng said.
Ning Ming ignored him and tilted his head with a "slightly disgusting" expression.
——This seemed to be his final evaluation of the taste of Qi Miancheng’s blood.
"Junior brother, your shoulder is bleeding again." Qi Miancheng said while still lying on his back, "Did you cut it open yourself just now to stay awake?"
Still no response.
After Ning Mingmei finished sucking the blood, he lay down on the stone wall next to him, closed his eyes and fell asleep. With the help of Qi Miancheng's blood, his breathing gradually returned to normal, his curled fingers relaxed, and only his lips still showed a satisfied red.
Qi Miancheng just lay on the ground like this, maintaining the same posture just now. He looked towards the top of the cave, his face still maintaining the gentle and steady smile he had when he was persuading Ning Mingmei just now.
Finally, he raised his hand and looked at his wound that had opened again.
This time, he stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on it.
"It's not that disgusting." He said to himself.
…
The next day, Ning Mingmei woke up again and felt refreshed.
He walked out of the cave with his arms folded and saw Qi Miancheng digging soil for the laurel tree again. Seeing him coming out, Qi Miancheng asked, "Brother, are you awake?"
Ning Mingmei: “Yeah.”
Qi Miancheng smiled gently: "Very good, we will set off soon."
Ning Mingmei watched Qi Miancheng dig out the laurel tree again and stood by without comment.
The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened yesterday.
There is only one thing that is very ignorant, and that is the system.
System: "What did you do yesterday? Why didn't you report to me?"
Ning Mingmei: “I don’t know.”
system:? ?
"I haven't slept, and my body doesn't hurt, that's enough." Ning Mingmei wiped his glasses, "Stop wasting time. Anyway, there's only me and Qi Miancheng here. This hypocrite cares more about his reputation than I do, and he will never tell anyone about the embarrassing things that happened in the cave."
system:……
With a leader Qi who behaves strangely and a ruthless Ning Mingmei, this journey is truly magical.
When Ning Mingmei looked up, he saw Qi Miancheng looking at him.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Ning Mingmei raised his eyebrows at him.
I don't know what happened yesterday though. But something must have happened. Since Qi Miancheng looked like he was going to continue pretending to be a good-natured and polite generator, he would just go along with his performance.
Then just be a pair of brothers who are friendly and respectful to each other in front of outsiders. After all, Qi Miancheng is the leader of the Qingji Sect, so his benefits are inevitable.
"Let's go, Junior Brother." Qi Miancheng said.
Sect Leader Qi set out again with the tree and Ning Mingmei. This time he did not carry the tree, but let the tree float behind them. After walking for a while, Ning Mingmei followed him and asked him, "Where are we now?"
Sect Leader Qi said, "The southern part of Liuyue Lake."
The fight and the flight came from the east to the south.
But speaking of the south, the Dark Ciyu Village where Lian Chengyue is staying is in the south.
Ning Mingmei asked a question: "Brother, do you know the way?"
Qi Miancheng: "Brother, I don't know, let's go north first."
Ning Mingmei: …………
So it's just wandering around again, huh?
"But we can first find the two Yinbing Pavilion disciples in front of us and ask for directions." Perhaps sensing Ning Mingmei's speechlessness, Sect Leader Qi pointed forward.
Ning Mingmei looked forward and saw two cultivator disciples standing on the hillside in front of him, holding two talismans and looking around as they walked.
The representative pattern of Qingji Sect is the crane pattern, the representative pattern of Yanyun Tower is the flowing cloud pattern, Minghua Valley uses maple leaf pattern, and the robes of Yinbing Pavilion disciples are embroidered with waves.
These two male disciples wearing blue Taoist robes with wave patterns appear to be from Yinbing Pavilion.
Most of the people in Yinbing Pavilion are talisman practitioners. These two disciples were no exception. Yinbing Pavilion believes that talismans give birth to all things, so at this moment, the two disciples are holding talisman papers, and it seems that they are also relying on them for navigation.
When they approached the two disciples, they discovered that they were arguing.
"They said we were going to the Salesian Village. How come the further we walked, the deeper into the woods we were heading?"
"Brother, is there something wrong with this talisman... Damn, there really is something wrong!"
"Let me see where I drew it wrong? Hmm... these strokes are useless. I'll delete them first."
"Hey, hey, don't..."
“…”
"Look! The guide amulet doesn't work again! I told you before, if it can run, why do you care if it has a few more strokes or less?!"
"That shouldn't be the case. Changing these few strokes won't affect the operation of the talisman. Maybe there's something wrong with the environment. Try standing back where you were just now."
"Environment, environment. Whenever there is a problem with the symbol, you say it is a problem with the environment settings."
"How about this, why don't you try restarting this talisman?"
A voice came from behind the two of them.
The author has something to say:
"My nemesis, my accomplice, my evil friend, my secret lover and the master of mutually seductive desire."
I don’t know why I thought of this passage (which I wrote). But it has nothing to do with Qi Miancheng and Ning Mingmei (sad)
