"..." Qiyue didn't speak, but just glanced at Yun Huai.
He made a shushing gesture.
Shh, someone's coming.
Yun Huai immediately shut his mouth.
A series of hurried, uneven footsteps approached the silent night. Qi Yue stared intently at the source of the sound, and Ling Qing'er's heavily injured figure, clutching her chest, slowly emerged in the darkness.
"Who!?" The unfamiliar yet familiar aura ahead alerted Ling Qing'er, and she shouted sharply.
Qiyue gave Yun Huai a look, and then flashed to her side.
"I just saved you."
"What do you want to do?" Ling Qing'er asked warily, having learned from Luo Wuji's experience.
Qiyue stared straight at her and tossed her two pills: "These two pills can help you recover from your injuries. I'll say it again, if you need anything, you can come to Wanbaolou to find me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiyue left, not giving Ling Qing'er a single chance to speak.
The moon peeked out from behind the dark clouds, its pale light spilling across the earth. Ling Qing'er's shadow stretched long as she gripped the pill in her hand, her brow furrowed. She dared not linger for a moment, pondering Qi Yue's words as she walked.
A breeze rustled the leaves, and Ling Qing'er felt a sudden panic.
A shadow flashed by, and she suddenly understood what Qiyue had said.
Her pupils constricted, and she quickly swallowed the two pills. After the intense pain subsided, her external injuries healed completely. As spiritual energy from all directions converged on her, her cultivation level soon recovered to about 70-80%.
A chilling aura swept over her from somewhere, and she fought back frantically, desperately trying to escape.
"Sigh, where's the spicy rabbit meat I was promised..." Yun Huai, who was following Qi Yue back to the sect, felt bad whenever he thought about having made a wasted trip.
Qiyue chuckled: "Oh well, it doesn't matter when we eat. I think that rabbit is still too skinny. Wouldn't it be better to fatten it up before eating it?"
"Anyway, it's your job, so you get to decide," Yun Huai said, pursing his lips.
His gaze toward Qiyue was incredibly deep.
He was somewhat worried about Ling Qing'er. Both had saved his life, but Ling Qing'er treated his junior sister and Luo Wuji completely differently. He was afraid that his junior sister's efforts would be in vain.
"If anything happens to you, you must tell your senior brother. No matter what, your senior brother will protect you, understand?" Yun Huai said solemnly, patting Qi Yue's head with concern.
Qiyue nodded obediently, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
[Both were saved by a life-saving grace. In the original story, Ling Qing'er developed feelings for Luo Wuji and even protected Xia Wanqing for his sake, but she was instead captivated by Xia Wanqing and willingly became Xia Wanqing's spirit beast.]
[In reality, Luo Wuji is being considerate in many ways, yet he is suspicious and distrustful of the two times I have done him a favor. Although I also have my own motives, it's really annoying.]
[Anyway, if I hadn't saved her, she would have been dead for sure. Even if she doesn't appreciate my kindness, I'll have no choice but to use puppetry...]
[I'm really looking forward to it! Once I reach mastery, I'll be able to truly control people's hearts without them noticing, and they'll truly become my personal dolls—obeying my will and doing my bidding!]
Excitement gleamed in Qi Yue's eyes. Yun Huai, who had been listening to her thoughts, paused slightly as he left, glancing at her with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Such extraordinary skills must never be discovered by outsiders, otherwise, Junior Sister will be in grave danger!
If all else fails, he'll have no choice but to silence them forever.
While petting the nine-tailed fox, Qiyue guessed that given Xia Wanqing's ruthless nature, Ling Qing'er should already be being hunted down. Since she was going to see that wolf cub in a couple of days anyway, she might as well go and check on him.
The most important thing now is to cultivate oneself.
The spirit-gathering array was activated, and Qiyue entered a meditative state. When she opened her eyes again, it was three days later.
After tidying up, she took the Nine-Tailed Fox down the mountain and headed to Wanbaolou first.
The result disappointed her.
"The woman you mentioned came here. She was badly injured when she arrived. She told me that you sent her, so I paid a price to treat her wounds. However, she was unreasonable."
The speaker was Jin Linshu. After Jin Youqian's lineage was completely eradicated, Jin Linshu became the young master of Wanbaolou, while Jin Shang was the true owner.
However, this is only what is on the surface.
At this point, Jin Linshu observed Qiyue's expression. Seeing that Qiyue's expression had not changed, he continued, "She is clearly a demon, yet she speaks of benevolence and morality, saying that humans are all shameless. If it weren't for your orders, I would have killed her."
"..." A sinister glint flashed in Qiyue's eyes. This ungrateful wretch... it seems she'll have to change her plans.
Originally, she intended to use Ling Qing'er's life-saving grace to win over the Demon King, incite the Demon King's dissatisfaction with Hengyang Sect and Holy Sect, disrupt the balance between the cultivators of the two sects and the demon race, and make Hengyang Sect and Holy Sect unable to pay attention to Xunhui Sect.
But we don't need to anymore.
Once she obtains the Elixir Fire and masters the Puppet Technique, she will make Ling Qing'er her first puppet, return to Luo Wuji's side, and become Luo Wuji's woman. Then, she will secretly use the people of the Holy Sect to help her eliminate some people from the Hengyang Sect, and finally deliver a fatal blow to Xia Wanqing. Finally, she will make her die in front of the Demon King with the Demon Clan's sacred artifact at Luo Wuji's hands.
It's the same.
No, to be precise, this is even better. In this way, whether it's for the sacred artifact, the daughter, or the future demon king of the demon race, they will all go to war with the Holy Sect.
Xia Wanqing, who has been betrayed, will also seize the opportunity to take revenge.
Dogs fighting.
All she has to do is sit back and watch the fight, seizing all the opportunities that belong to the male and female protagonists. In the end, even the Dog Heavenly Dao will be unable to interfere, and they will surely be disgraced and die at her hands!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
A strange smile curled at the corner of her lips, and Qiyue slightly raised her eyelids: "Did she say anything else?"
Jin Linshu's eyes darted around: "She said she will never forget the life-saving grace you bestowed upon her, and in ten days, she will repay you tenfold..."
His voice grew softer and softer, and his head bowed lower and lower: "As for your little schemes, she advises you to be careful..."
"..." Qi Yue remained expressionless, her fingers rhythmically tapping the table, making a knocking sound that struck Jin Linshu's heart, making his heart leap into his throat and his back break out in a cold sweat.
He swallowed.
Jin Linshu truly regretted it; he should have killed that beast back then.
"You don't need to worry about this."
Qiyue finally spoke, and Jin Linshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"yes."
After leaving the room, Jin Linshu patted his heart.
Inside the room, Qiyue took out a yellowed piece of paper from her spatial ring, touched the Nine-Tailed Fox, wrote a letter, and handed two items to it.
"Good girl, deliver this letter to the flower fairy in the Red Rock Cave of Donglin Mountain, then give her this and tell her that if she delivers the letter to the Demon King, she can come to Wanbaolou and someone will give her the other part."
"Eek." Nine-Tailed Fox hummed twice, looked at Qiyue with her eyes crinkling, nuzzled against her, nodded, and agreed.
