Chapter 101 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 12 Lips
The five walked for another three hours in the pale yellow candlelight. Si Qingwu and Wan Qingyun were both out of breath and had to stop to rest.
Si Lanjuan was exasperated: "I told you to cultivate properly every day, but you wouldn't listen."
Lin Yuwan carried the glass lantern and looked around: "Wandering aimlessly might lead to getting lost. Let's decide on a direction after an incense stick has burned."
Si Qingwu rubbed her dizzy forehead: "No, I feel a little itchy."
"Me too!"
Wan Qingyun scratched his arm, but Yun Chiyi stopped him with her sword.
"There's a problem with the miasma in the forest. If you scratch it open, be careful the mist can corrode your skin."
While they were talking, they heard other rustling sounds. Yun Chiyi held her breath and concentrated, and surprisingly, she recognized the voices of young women talking.
Si Qingwu covered her mouth and asked softly, "Is there anyone else in here?"
Yun Chiyi said, "Let's go and take a look."
The five exchanged glances and cautiously peered out. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a path leading out ahead, where three women in plain clothes were walking and chatting, carrying medicine hoes on their backs.
Lin Yuwan stood next to Yun Chiyi and said softly, "We can see clearly from here."
They followed for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly a village appeared. The sunlight was abundant, and the vegetable fields, small bridges, and flowing water were no different from the villages outside. The three women went home, and the men and children in their families came out to greet them.
Lin Yuwan said, "A paradise on earth."
Yun Chiyi stepped out: "Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough."
She hadn't changed; she was still bold. Lin Yuwan's eyelashes fluttered, and she turned to the others with a bright and alert expression, saying, "Be careful."
Watching the two figures walk away, Si Qingwu tugged at Si Lanjuan's arm: "Why does Senior Brother Yuwan seem to be in such a good mood?"
Si Lanjuan said, "It's nice to have a place to rest after a long day."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingyun eagerly chased after Yun Chiyi, saying, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, wait for me!"
They found two families to stay with, as there were many people and they had to stay separately, but it was only a short distance between them.
Yun Chiyi lives in a room by herself, while Wan Qingyun and Lin Yuwan live next door.
Wan Qingyun dropped her bag and rushed to Yun Chiyi's room. Upon entering, she saw Yun Chiyi touching the dust on the cabinet with her fingertips.
"It's dirty! Senior sister, don't touch it! Let me clean it."
He was quick and efficient, first making the bed, then sweeping the dust off the floor, and then fetching water to wipe the wardrobe.
Yun Chiyi sat at the table, poured water from her water pouch, and made tea. The light from the doorway was blocked, so she didn't look up and simply greeted the visitor: "Sit down."
When Lin Yuwan came in, she saw Wan Qingyun carefully dusting the pillow, while Yun Chiyi sat quietly to the side, seemingly used to this scene.
"Senior sister has such a leisurely life."
Yun Chiyi replied, "If he's willing to do it, why should I do it and waste my spiritual energy?"
Wan Qingyun shouted back, "Senior Sister, please don't move! Please don't tire yourself out!"
Lin Yuwan scoffed at this, while Yun Chiyi looked around the spotless room and said, "Even my usual room is covered in so much dust."
"We have to do farm work on weekdays, and we're tired when we get home. There aren't many people like me who are quick and efficient at tidying up the house."
Wan Qingyun began to promote and boast about herself.
Only Lin Yuwan faced Yun Chiyi's eyes. Changlinhai was isolated from the world, and this village was unknown to outsiders. When the group of five arrived here, the villagers emptied two rooms without asking why.
Something is extremely wrong.
Yun Chiyi put a finger to her lips and gestured outside with her eyes.
"You two will share a bed tonight. Wan Qingyun sleepwalks, so if he disappears, remember to look for him."
She lowered her voice, afraid that Wan Qingyun would hear and refute her.
Lin Yuwan seemed not to understand either: "I don't sleep in the same bed with anyone."
"Isn't it just because she's worried that Wan Qingyun's cultivation level is too low and something might happen to her? She even asked him to take care of her." Lin Yuwan's lips curled slightly, her eyes fixed on the tea in her hand, causing a ripple of emotion.
Yun Chiyi compromised and said, "Okay, then let him sleep in my room."
Wan Qingyun couldn't be happier than this, and laughed out loud, but was scared back down by Lin Yuwan's cold face.
"Wan Qingyun, come with me to make the bed."
Lin Yuwan put down her teacup and casually pulled Wan Qingyun away.
As soon as they left, a woman came in carrying pastries and tea, and warmly placed them on the table.
"Immortal, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest well here tonight."
Yun Chiyi smiled faintly and nodded at her: "Thank you."
Her gaze lingered on the young woman, dressed as an ordinary village woman, with a graceful figure and fair skin. Yun Chiyi smiled and pulled her aside to talk.
"We stumbled into the village by chance; we hope we didn't disturb you."
The woman waved her hand: "How could that be? We haven't seen any passersby in a long time. We've lived here for over a hundred years, starting with our ancestors, and we'd like to learn about the outside world through other people."
Yun Chiyi asked, "Haven't you gone out?"
The woman said, "We'll just gather herbs and grow vegetables in Changlinhai, why bother wading into the muddy waters outside?"
That's strange, since he's wearing clothes in the style of the current dynasty.
The system's sudden voice almost startled Yun Chiyi.
The woman smiled and said, "If you need anything, just call me."
Yun Chiyi saw her off, silently casting a tracking spell on her, and then casually closed the door.
The group communicated through a communication bell inside the house and learned that a woman had brought them tea, so they tacitly refrained from drinking it.
Later that evening, Lin Yu came over briefly, but after saying only a few words, Wan Qingyun, unable to stay alone any longer, also came over.
Before he could even speak, Lin Yuwan pulled him back to his seat.
Yun Chiyi didn't plan to close her eyes tonight. She sat cross-legged on the bed, and the soft whispers around her disturbed her. She slowly opened her eyes, but there was only one lamp in the room.
When I closed my eyes again, the whispering sounds came again.
Yun Chiyi snapped her fingers and extinguished the lamp. The voices grew louder and louder, coming from men, women, young and old. The voices lingered in her ears and wouldn't go away. She touched the talisman in her bosom, but someone grabbed her hand and pressed it down.
Hearing the sound of the jade bracelet tapping against her earring, Yun Chiyi softly called out, "Lin Yuwan?"
Lin Yuwan: "It's me."
Why are you stopping me?!
"First, we need to know the true form of the demon."
Before she could finish speaking, a jumble of laughter filled the air. Suddenly, Yun Chiyi felt herself pressed tightly against Lin Yuwan's chest. She tried to move, but her whole body was bound together by something hard.
The furnishings inside suddenly twisted, the walls stretched upwards and downwards, and the sound of breaking ground surrounded them.
He couldn't move his body, nor could he use magic.
Yun Chiyi looked around and saw that the two of them seemed to be caught in the tree trunk. The tree trunk kept shrinking and the roots wrapped around them more and more. Yun Chiyi had no choice but to tilt her head back to avoid being strangled. She raised her lips and touched Lin Yuwan's chin, feeling his muscles tense.
The moist touch made Lin Yuwan's eyes widen in surprise.
Yun Chiyi turned her head away, her lips brushing against his: "We need to think of a way."
At this moment, the tree roots stopped moving, hanging the two of them up like lanterns.
Yun Chiyi quickly bit her lip, for a cultivator's blood could ward off evil. She chanted an incantation, and the tree roots exploded into pieces. The two broke free of their restraints, and Lin Yuwan gripped her sword in reverse, splitting the tree trunk in one move.
It was pitch black outside, except for Wan Qingyun's glass lamp which was still lit. Countless shadows lingered in the night sky. Wan Qingyun hid next to the stone, while the Si family stumbled and ran toward the stone.
The glass lamp was visible to humans but not to demons. Yun Chiyi walked towards Wan Qingyun, but her foot suddenly felt heavy. She turned around and saw Lin Yuwan pulling her foot, while Lin Yuwan was being dragged backward by a giant vine.
Without a second thought, Yun Chi quickly turned around, grabbed Lin Yuwan's hand, and the two were pulled into the tree hole in an instant.
Si Qingwu cried out anxiously, "Oh no, the tree hole is gone!"
The tree trunk seemed to be wriggling like an animal's intestines, and Yun Chiyi felt nauseous as her hands were stuck to it. Lin Yuwan, who was squeezed face to face with her, still had the leisure to speak: "Your senior sister's cleanliness has not changed at all over the years."
Yun Chiyi was stunned. When did she develop a germaphobia?
She watched as Lin Yuwan calmly looked up into the darkness.
"You intend to be captured?"
Lin Yuwan said, "Yes and no."
He rested his head against Yun Chiyi's neck and let out a muffled groan of discomfort.
Yun Chiyi: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yuwan gasped for breath: "Today is the fifteenth."
Yun Chiyi instantly understood: the Gu poison was very likely to take effect on the fifteenth of the month.
"You really know how to pick your timing."
Yun Chiyi comforted her again, "Just bear with it for now. Let's get out first and then deal with the poison, otherwise you'll be eaten."
Lin Yuwan said, "The Si family can't see this."
The Gu poison was a secret between the two of them; their disagreements were only visible to each other. Yun Chiyi would naturally agree to his request. She drew a talisman behind her, and the tracking spell she had cast on the woman on the tree trunk flickered twice. She was also part of this demon. The woman's cultivation level was low, making her an excellent point of attack.
Yun Chiyi smashed the tree trunk in one fell swoop, and Lin Yuwan, covered in slime, rushed into the depths of the dense forest.
She placed the man on the ground and felt that he was really dirty. After cleaning both of them, she touched his burning hot body with her hands.
Lin Yuwan gritted his teeth and leaned against the tree trunk, watching Yun Chiyi calmly take out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom. Her calm and composed expression made his eyes dry and sore.
“The pills I prepared were made from withered vines. If you hadn’t interfered that day, I wouldn’t have been left with only one pill.”
"Come on, open your mouth."
Lin Yuwan opened her teeth, and the tips of her teeth grazed the fingers she was using to feed the medicine.
He broke out in a cold sweat; the venomous insects were coursing through his blood, trying to open up every pore.
Yun Chiyi had felt the pain many times before, and at this moment she truly understood.
Lin Yuwan gripped her hand tightly, but nothing could ease the pain in his body. He bit his lip until it bled, suppressing all the sounds of agony.
"It will be better when it gets light, just bear with it a little longer."
Her heartless words enraged him. He grabbed her shoulders and pressed his forehead against her brow: "Senior sister, you just consumed the power of the vine demon, there should still be some residue in your body."
He's right, but what does he want to do?
The moment his burning lips pressed against her nose, Yun Chiyi knew his intentions.
Lin Yuwan held her lips in his mouth and bit down hard on the spot where she had bitten. Yun Chiyi reacted and tried to dodge, but he held her shoulders and she couldn't take a step back.
"Lin Yuwan, are you crazy...?"
She turned her head to catch her breath, and Lin Yuwan came over again, pressing her down and pinning her to the ground, impatiently biting her lower lip.
His hand covered hers, like a snake, like tree roots, wrapping around her tighter and tighter.
"Senior sister."
