Stealing your kiss, calling you disobedient~

While Han Shengyao was searching for their whereabouts through the Tourmaline Demon Spirit, Bai Wan keenly felt the prying eyes of others.

Lin Qianshuang’s waist was encircled by a fluffy and furry fox tail. She froze for a moment and looked towards Bai Wan. Demonic aura overflowed around her. Not only did a long, fluffy tail emerge from behind her, but fox ears also sprouted from her hair.

After half a cup of tea, Bai Wan withdrew her demonic aura, and her entire body was filled with a hostile aura.

She could clearly identify the aura that came from the Jiuyou Secret Realm, and she could not possibly mistake the disgusting demonic aura emanating from Han Shengyao.

Isn’t this woman dead yet? Still trying to spy on things!

Seeing that Bai Wan seemed to be in a bad mood, Lin Qianshuang asked tentatively, “Why did you become like that just now? Is there any danger around you?”

Someone was watching in the shadows, but they should be gone by now.

Gazing upon Lin Qianshuang’s visage, Bai Wan’s ire slowly abated. Lin’s appearance was unremarkable, yet she possessed an inexplicable allure.

Not only had she captivated the Demon Emperor and Han Shengyao, but even Xia held her in high regard.

If only Bai Wan alone had discovered Lin’s hidden beauty.

Lin Qianshuang sensed an oddity in Bai Wan’s gaze, a flicker of resentment as if she were in debt to the cunning fox. She pondered if she had inadvertently wronged Bai Wan in some way.

As the two were lost in their thoughts, Bai Wan’s third tail suddenly surged and appeared behind her.

Concealing the fox’s tail, Bai Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and said to Lin Qianshuang, “The tail I left in the Demon Palace has moved. I fear that the Demon Emperor is aware of it. We must return sooner.”

Lin Qianshuang thought of Xiao Lanle and pursed her lips. “This time, the Treasure Battle Tournament is said to have a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. My cultivation requires this kind of spirit core. If I obtain it, my cultivation will progress with half the effort.”

Bai Wan’s innocent face turned disdainful. “It’s just a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. If you don’t mind, I can dig up hundreds of human cultivators’ inner cores. It would be faster than the Marrow Cleansing Pill. I can also gather some Qi Gathering Pills for you, or I can grind human hearts into powder and refine them.”

Hundreds of human cultivators’ inner cores—how many human hearts would that require? And the Qi Gathering Pill she had just consumed was actually made from human hearts.

Lin Qianshuang recalled the faint scent of blood when the Qi Gathering Pill was forced down her throat. Her body went cold for a moment, and she gave a forced laugh to Bai Wan. “Human hearts? You’re not joking. How many people had to be killed to make such an elixir?”

“There are so many two-legged sheep hopping about on this earth. Even if you kill a bunch of them, the next year will be full of them again. Looking at your expression, you really think they’ll become extinct?”

“Since you want this top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, let’s go and take a look together. But we have to go early and come back early.”

Lin Qianshuang’s heart chilled a little as she listened to Bai Wan’s words.

However, she quickly felt relieved. Thinking about the world of cultivation, she was filled with words of “eliminating demons and guarding the righteous path” when she saw someone cultivate. The grudges between demon cultivators, beast cultivators and human cultivators were not just a matter of day and night, and it was not just persecution on one side.

If she were to expose her identity as a demon cultivator in the mortal world now, she would probably be pursued and killed by those righteous cultivators.

The human world’s annual Treasure Battle Tournament is very lively. In order to give the righteous sect some face, the city lord of Tianshu City even transported the long-cherished Oceanic Shark Pearl from Sanxiu City thousands of miles away, and declared that whoever captured the Shark Pearl would be able to have their request fulfilled free of charge in the future.

The Oceanic Shark Pearl is placed in a silver louver-shaped container. The blue pearl body emits a faint, soft light in the dark night, changing color with the illumination of the moon. Such a mysterious object must have come from the depths of the sea and must be priceless.

Tianshu City is not just an ordinary city for scattered cultivation. The city lord, Mu Weiyin, is a renowned expert in crossing tribulations and is one of the top cultivation masters in the entire cultivation world. Getting her guidance or help is something that many cultivators long for but cannot seek.

With the Oceanic Shark Pearl already claimed, the subsequent treasures drew less enthusiasm from the crowd.

“Top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill! Whoever seizes this colored ball and brings it to me shall receive this spiritual elixir!”

The cultivator on the high platform channeled his true energy and cast the colored ball into the throng, where it vanished amidst the sea of people.

Xiao Lanle watched the ball disappear, while Liang Jingxuan beside her remained motionless. Anxious, she tugged at his sleeve, exclaiming, “Senior Brother, the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill has appeared!”

“I’ll go now, Lanle, wait.”

Dazed, Liang Jingxuan blended into the chaotic crowd and snatched the colored ball, his mind elsewhere throughout the process.

He had always suspected the silver ring was no ordinary ornament, so he had shown it to his master, Immortal Jing Hua, only to discover it was an identity jade slip from the Demon Realm.

For human cultivators to possess such an identity jade slip, there was only one possibility: they had become demon cultivator captives, human pets.

At the inn, he had heard his senior sister play the song “Phoenix Seeks its Mate,” her love for him evident. However, when he appeared, she had fled in a hurry, likely constrained by the demon cultivator above her, unable to meet him.

He had proposed to his master that he wanted to go to the Demon Realm to rescue his senior sister, but his master had laughed at him, even telling him to remain in seclusion for another twenty years.

Liang Jingxuan was accustomed to Fairy Jinghua’s indifference, but Senior Sister Lin was once her disciple, so he couldn’t accept her indifferent attitude.

As he contemplated Senior Sister Lin’s predicament on his behalf, he couldn’t help but reminisce about their cherished moments together in the past.

The senior sister who always had him in her thoughts, who stood before him in the face of danger, which other woman could compare to her, who truly cared for him, even willing to sacrifice her own life for him?

Xiao Lanle was like a master he had to cater to, and he often grew exasperated with her. If not for the sake of gaining the position of head of Penglai Immortal Sect, why would he bother to suppress his anger like this?

In his heart, Liang Jingxuan compared Xiao Lanle with Lin Qianshuang, and he increasingly perceived Xiao Lanle’s shortcomings. Lost in contemplation, he forgot about the colored ball in his hand. When he came to his senses, a white shadow swiftly darted through the crowd and delivered it to the cultivator on stage.

“This cultivator has obtained the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!”

Lin Qianshuang tossed the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill back and forth in her hand, a smug laugh escaping her lips.

With the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill in her grasp, she was eager to witness Liang Jingxuan attempting to claim credit from Xiao Lanle.

Bai Wan observed Lin Qianshuang’s jubilant laughter as she clutched the Pill. She mused that such a treasure could elicit such joy. She wondered what expression Lin Qianshuang would make when she presented her with the dissected Demon Emperor’s magic core.

“Bai Wan, our task is complete. Let us return to the Demon Palace.”

As Lin Qianshuang moved forward, she realized her lack of familiarity with the path. Her expression betrayed her unease as she turned to locate Bai Wan.

Bai Wan watched Lin Qianshuang from behind, amused by her disorientation.

Just as Lin Qianshuang was about to request Bai Wan’s guidance, she felt a heavy weight upon her back and a presence clambering up her spine.

Someone wrapped their arms around her neck, their legs around her waist, and clung to her like a koala.

Bai Wan leaned on Lin Qianshuang’s shoulder and said coquettishly, “When I came, I carried you on my back. When we leave, you must carry me on your back as well, or it’s not fair.”

Lin Qianshuang turned her head and saw Bai Wan looking at her with a childish expression. She smiled and said, “Then you must show me the way. I’m terrible with directions.”

Bai Wan gently tugged on Lin Qianshuang’s ear and pouted, “Xiao Shuang, you still don’t trust me?”

Lin Qianshuang’s ears were filled with Bai Wan’s sweet and charming voice, and her whole body trembled in mid-air. Even a woman would be half-charmed by this sound, let alone a man. The fox demon truly deserved the title of “enchantress”.

Bai Wan observed Lin Qianshuang’s unsteady control of the demonic energy and seized the opportunity to plant a forceful kiss on her cheek. When Lin Qianshuang regained her senses, Bai Wan feigned resentment and complained, “How are you flying? My face nearly collided with yours.”

Feeling a pang of guilt, Lin Qianshuang swiftly adjusted her demonic energy and summoned her natal sword. Deciding to carry Bai Wan on her sword, she hoped for a smoother flight.

Bai Wan leaned against Lin Qianshuang’s back, a hint of triumph evident on her face from her successful kiss. She nestled close to the warmth of Lin Qianshuang’s body, listening to the steady rhythm of her heartbeat. A contented smile spread across Bai Wan’s lips.

“Little fool, when will I be able to confess my true feelings to you?” she whispered to herself.

Lin Qianshuang landed steadily in the third level of the Demon Palace, the Yanbo Hall.

Half of the Yanbo Hall had been burned down, but the side hall remained intact.

Lin Qianshuang carried Bai Wan on her back and was about to put her down, only to find that the other person seemed to be asleep, lying motionless on her back.

“Bai Wan?”

Lin Qianshuang called out several times, but seeing that Bai Wan didn’t respond, she recalled that Bai Wan must be exhausted from running around with her tonight and it wasn’t easy to wake her again. She embraced Bai Wan’s shoulder and walked into the room, carefully placing her on the bed.

Bai Wan’s pure and beautiful sleeping face was tinged with tranquility, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was having a pleasant dream.

Lin Qianshuang helped Bai Wan remove her shoes and put on a thin quilt, then planned to leave. Before taking a few steps, her sleeve was pulled up.

“Don’t leave, Sister, don’t leave, don’t leave Xiao Wan alone…”

A crying voice came from the bed, and Lin Qianshuang turned her head to look. Bai Wan’s brows were furrowed tightly, with tears streaming down her face, and her hand tightly gripped Lin Qianshuang’s, making it impossible for her to leave.

Was she having a nightmare? She mentioned having an older sister. Did they get separated?

She came alone to the Demon Realm to seize the qin at the Beast Emperor’s command. Could she be harboring some unspoken sadness or hardship?

The more Lin Qianshuang pondered, the more sympathetic her gaze became. She couldn’t bear to leave even with her sleeve being pulled so tightly, so she sat down by the bed and held Bai Wan’s hand comfortingly.

Suddenly, her hand was tugged, and her body involuntarily fell onto the bed. Hands emerged from the quilt around her waist and embraced her.

Lin Qianshuang was taken aback. Bai Wan kissed the corner of her lips, nuzzled her neck, curled up in her arms, and whispered in her sleep, “Sister, you’re so nice.”

They even kiss and hug each other before going to bed. Were those sisters really that close?

Lin Qianshuang realized that Bai Wan had restrained her arm several times, rendering it immobile. She patted Bai Wan’s face, but the latter slept so soundly that she did not respond despite Lin Qianshuang’s repeated attempts.

Eventually, Lin Qianshuang grew weary of moving and unceremoniously took half of Bai Wan’s quilt, covering herself and gradually drifting into a deep slumber.

Bai Wan observed Lin Qianshuang’s deep sleep and quietly opened her eyes. Her dark eyes were clear and composed, devoid of any drowsiness.

She cast a spell and directed it towards Lin Qianshuang’s forehead, then propped her elbow on the bed and silently gazed at Lin Qianshuang’s face under the moonlight.

Bai Wan traced the features of the person before her with her gaze, her fingertips gently brushing over the pale pink lips from the slightly slender bridge of her nose, as if trying to erase something. She rubbed her fingertips vigorously.

“Han Shengyao thinks so highly of you, even recalling you from the distant Jiuyou Secret Realm. The two of you must be quite intimate.”

As if sensing discomfort, the other person’s eyelashes fluttered pitifully, their rosy lips slightly parted, revealing the tip of a delicate pink tongue that moved gently.

Bai Wan’s fingers, which were pressing down on Lin Qianshuang’s lower lip, stiffened for a moment, and her face suddenly flushed crimson. “Even in your slumber, you’re an alluring temptress,” she hissed angrily. “No wonder so many have fallen prey to your wiles. Even I… I’m like this with you.”

In love with you.

Bai Wan, unable to utter the four words, knew that even if she did, the person before her would not hear them.

With the utmost tenderness, she gently tapped Lin Qianshuang’s chin and covered her lips. Slowly, she moved and rubbed them together, their lips gently intertwining. Bai Wan carefully licked every inch of Lin Qianshuang’s lips, as if she wanted to pour all her unrequited love into this one-sided kiss.

After a brief taste, Bai Wan licked her lips with lingering desire, staring at Lin Qianshuang’s face for a long time as if savoring the moment.

Bang…

A heavy thud reverberated through the room as something crashed to the ground.

Startled, Bai Wan rolled out of bed and hurried to the doorway. There, Xia stood frozen in the threshold, his sword lying fallen on the floor.
