On the way back to her room, Tang Muxi felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Her anxiety made her feel distracted, even affecting her steps.
Jiang Yin noticed her frowning frequently, seemingly troubled by something, and couldn’t help but stop.
She moved a bit ahead and suddenly halted without warning, causing Tang Muxi to bump into her shoulder.
“Senior Sister, why did you stop so suddenly?”
Tang Muxi rubbed her nose, feeling a bit of pain.
Jiang Yin didn’t respond immediately, instead turning to stare intently at Tang Muxi’s face.
“What are you thinking about?
So focused.”
Tang Muxi was taken aback, feeling a bit embarrassed as she pinched her ear.
“Is it that obvious?”
Jiang Yin brushed the snow off her shoulder without saying a word, but her intense gaze was hard to ignore.
Tang Muxi knew she couldn’t bluff her way out, so she spoke frankly, “I just feel…
something’s not right.”
“Not right?”
Jiang Yin asked suspiciously.
“Yeah, like something’s about to happen.”
Tang Muxi rarely trusted her own premonitions, but this one was strong enough to affect her heart, a first for her.
Feeling a bit panicked, she grabbed Jiang Yin’s arm, “Senior Sister, maybe we shouldn’t check tonight.”
Jiang Yin had intended to ask more about the strange premonition, but upon hearing this, her expression immediately darkened, and she spoke coldly, “You just agreed, and now you’re backing out. I didn’t know my junior sister took her health so lightly.”
Her tone was cold and harsh, a sign of her growing anger.
Tang Muxi quickly explained, “It’s not that I’m taking it lightly, just… can we not use the Imprisoning Demon Sword? Let’s try another way. Or we could wait for the Jishi Lamp. Since it can eliminate the influence of divine artifacts and heal all injuries, why take the risk?”
Using the Imprisoning Demon Sword to probe the body sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult in practice.
Jiang Yin, as the owner of the divine artifact, wouldn’t be harmed by the sword, but Tang Muxi was different.
The Imprisoning Demon Sword, no matter how close it was to her, could sever her meridians at any time.
To protect her, Jiang Yin had to wrap the blade with her own spiritual consciousness.
Spiritual consciousness was precious, even their master, who had reached the pinnacle of transformation, only dared to release a little.
But Jiang Yin, still at the Golden Core stage, had fragile spiritual consciousness, yet had to fully enter her body.
If there really was a Netherworld Talisman, its activation now could cause irreversible damage to Senior Sister.
Jiang Yin, however, was unconcerned, finally understanding what Tang Muxi was worrying about.
Her expression softened slightly, but her tone remained stern, “The Jishi Lamp will take a while, it’s a last resort. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Even if it is the Netherworld Talisman, it’s just a few patterns, nothing to fear.”
Seeing Tang Muxi still wanting to say more, she simply pressed her lips with her hand, leaned in closer, her deep eyes full of determination, “I said, no one can covet you, and I won’t go back on my word.”
“Rest assured, once this is over, you’ll face your punishment.”
Her gaze was focused, her eyelashes like crow feathers didn’t flutter, her tone gentle, as if speaking sweet nothings.
Tang Muxi was initially moved by the first sentence, feeling a surge of indescribable emotions.
But by the second sentence, all her feelings were thrown to the dogs.
Her mouth twitched slightly, barely maintaining her expression, and she said, “Senior Sister has a good memory. I thought you would have forgotten after that meal.”
With that, all her fears and worries dissipated, unable to recapture the previous feeling.
Jiang Yin smiled, her gaze falling on Tang Muxi’s rosy lips, unable to resist leaning in for a light peck.
Soft and fragrant, moist, even more tempting than the last kiss, making one want to indulge.
But the matter at hand was urgent, once the Netherworld Talisman issue was resolved, she could punish her as she pleased.
Jiang Yin swallowed, pulled away, and turned to leave, “Let’s go.”
Tang Muxi was stunned, her still moist lips subconsciously pursed, a strange feeling rising in her heart.
She realized she not only had feelings for the big demon but also some… ulterior motives.
Whether it was the previous punishment or today’s kiss, was the big demon doing these intimate actions because she felt the same way?
Before Tang Muxi could figure it out, Jiang Yin urged again, “What are you standing there for? Keep up.”
Tang Muxi, still confused, hurriedly ran to catch up.
After taking a bath, Tang Muxi sat on the bed, wearing only her undergarments.
She originally wanted to take everything off, but Jiang Yin’s intense reaction stopped her from doing so.
Tang Muxi was a bit unhappy, twisting her body and looking at herself, feeling that something was off.
Her gaze finally landed on her immature chest, and she frowned deeply, lost in thought.
When Jiang Yin came out of the bath, she hadn’t even dried her hair yet when she saw Tang Muxi sitting on the bed in her undergarments, pressing her hands against her chest.
She seemed quite dissatisfied with the protruding parts, her eyebrows almost twisted into a knot.
Having just bathed, her skin was delicate and moist, pink and white like a tempting glutinous rice ball, making Jiang Yin’s heart feel warm.
She watched from a distance for a while, seeing that Tang Muxi was unaware of her inappropriate behavior, even pulling at her undergarment’s collar to look inside, which made Jiang Yin feel uneasy.
She quickly spoke up to stop her, “What are you doing?”
Although looking at one’s own body is perfectly normal, Jiang Yin, feeling guilty, could only forcibly stop her.
Tang Muxi was even more unhappy when she saw her coming, her lips pressed together in displeasure.
She didn’t lower her hands, keeping them on her chest, and asked, “Does Senior Sister dislike my body?”
This question completely threw Jiang Yin off balance, leaving her in a daze, questioning herself.
But the one asking the question seemed completely unaware of how shocking her words were.
Seeing Jiang Yin lost in thought, she anxiously continued to ask, “Is it?”
Jiang Yin coughed dryly, perhaps the bathwater was too hot, as her cheeks and ears were a bit red, and even her voice was hoarse, speaking in a dry, broken manner, “Why…
why do you ask that?”
Tang Muxi was a bit annoyed, frowning as she complained, “You didn’t let me take off my clothes earlier.
Although I don’t understand what spiritual sense entering the body is, it must be similar to dual cultivation.
How can there be a reason not to take off clothes?”
“Senior Sister must dislike my body being flat, my chest too small, not proportionate, so she doesn’t want to see my body.”
By the end, Tang Muxi even felt aggrieved, her tone both angry and self-reproachful.
It seemed like she was saying she didn’t want a small chest either, but despite eating more recently, only her arms had gained flesh, while her chest remained unchanged.
Jiang Yin didn’t expect her to think this way, and for a moment, she was at a loss, not knowing whether to explain that spiritual sense entering the body wasn’t dual cultivation, or to say she didn’t mind seeing her body.
No matter where she started, it seemed a bit strange, as if it was slowly torturing her already unsteady will.
This must be the “punishment” for all the wrongs her junior sister had done to her.
“I…
I don’t, don’t overthink it…”
Jiang Yin spoke dryly.
“I don’t believe you, Senior Sister must be lying again.”
Tang Muxi’s eyes were wide and watery, both angry and aggrieved.
The once eloquent former demon lord truly didn’t know how to explain this time, only able to dryly repeat, “I really don’t, don’t overthink it, okay?”
Her tone even carried a hint of pleading.
Seeing Tang Muxi about to press further, she quickly turned around, “My hair isn’t dry yet, I’ll go tidy it up.
You stay put, and we’ll start the inspection later.”
She even specifically instructed, “Don’t take off your clothes, don’t overthink.”
Then she hurriedly ran off.
In front of the screen was a dressing mirror made of the finest crystal, clear and bright.
But Jiang Yin dashed out of the main room, running out the door in a flash, not knowing where she was going.
She left in such a hurry that she didn’t even close the door.
The cold wind rushed in, making the wooden door creak.
Tang Muxi sat dazed on the bed for a while before reacting, angrily throwing a pillow forward.
No way.
Anyone can dislike her, but not Senior Sister.
Tang Muxi secretly made up her mind: she must find a chance to dual cultivate with Senior Sister!
And she will grow bigger!
Sooner or later!
After Jiang Yin ran outside, her face was burning, as if she had just come out of a steam room, her whole body filled with restless blood.
She couldn’t figure out why such a serious matter had developed to this point.
It’s just taking off clothes, everyone is a woman, what’s there to be shy about?
It’s just her junior sister’s body, even if she saw it all…
Jiang Yin closed her eyes, her face serious.
If it weren’t for her ears being so red they could bleed, one might think she was contemplating some life-and-death matter.
It was the height of winter, with heavy snow falling outside, and the frosty wind brushing against her bare skin like ice shards rolling over.
Jiang Yin even deliberately withdrew her protective demonic energy, facing the winter wind and snow, yet she didn’t feel cold at all.
A burning heart kept beating, hot blood flowing through her entire body.
Promising to dry her damp hair, she ended up standing in the heavy snow for a good while, letting the biting cold wind dry her hair.
By the time she came to her senses, a thin layer of snow had already settled on her shoulders and nose.
Jiang Yin brushed off the messy snowflakes, turned to look at the brightly lit main room, sighed softly, and got up to go back.
Tang Muxi sat on the bed, fuming, the furrow between her brows deepening with time.
By the time Jiang Yin returned, it had twisted into a character shape.
Jiang Yin was stared at intently, her heart stirring, but she showed no sign of it on her face.
She glanced at the pillow thrown on the floor and pretended nothing was wrong as she bent down to pick it up.
“Senior Sister finally came back.
I thought you didn’t want me anymore,” Tang Muxi said sarcastically.
Today, her aura was so overwhelming that even the great demon lord would lose to her by three points.
“Of course not,” Jiang Yin patted the pillow, calmly took off her shoes, and got on the bed.
“It’s about to start.
Are you ready…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the world suddenly spun as Tang Muxi pounced on her, pinning her down on the silk quilt.
The silk quilt was smooth and soft, lying on it was incredibly comfortable, like being in a gentle stream, making one reluctant to leave.
Jiang Yin was startled, her dark eyes rippling with waves, disturbing her heart.
Tang Muxi’s expression was serious, with a hint of anger and fierceness, as she pinned down Jiang Yin’s limbs, her long black hair cascading onto her face.
It was fine and soft, like clouds falling from the sky, making one’s heart itch unbearably.
“You…”
Jiang Yin tried to speak but was interrupted by Tang Muxi.
“I want to dual cultivate with Senior Sister!”
