Chapter 82: Xia Baiqian’s Satisfaction

The Heartlink Gu had been crafted long ago, but due to her Master’s strength in the late-stage Tribulation Crossing realm, using it was risky.

The vast power gap meant that if her Master instinctively resisted, she’d suffer severe backlash.

So, she’d never dared to use it—until now.

This was the perfect opportunity.

Heehee!

Xia Baiqian hurriedly adjusted her clothing, her cheeks flushed with a sickly glow, her innocent expression tinged with obsessive infatuation.

“Ha… Master, Baiqian loves you the most~”

Her mind could hold nothing else—only her love for her Master, and the adorable way he squirmed in disgust at her touch yet restrained himself due to the crowd around them.

“Haa, I’ve become… a dummy who can only think of Master, heehee~”

She reached downward. Of course, she wouldn’t do anything too outrageous with her Master’s illusory form—it wasn’t really him.

But a little teasing with her delicate hands and dainty feet? No problem.

The Heartlink Gu’s effects activated! Her eyes glistened, pupils morphing into heart shapes.

The gu’s pouch seemed to only link their thoughts, but it had an additional effect: whatever the user imagined doing with the target, their body would react accordingly, and the target’s darker impulses would align.

Their body would naturally respond.

If used properly, it could serve as a communication tool in dangerous situations.

But due to the user’s inclinations, it only shone in this context.

What should’ve been a devastating weapon, the Shadowform Gu, capable of harming enemies across distances, was reduced to a bridge for their twisted game alongside the Heartlink Gu.

If the Heartlink Gu and Shadowform Gu could speak, they’d probably shout:

“Ohhh, this is our blazing combo technique! Feel the pain!”

Back to the present.

“Brother Ye? Are you really okay?”

Cheng Qingning noticed Ye Feng acting strangely since earlier, trembling slightly, especially his legs. His face looked strained, as if enduring something.

She couldn’t stand by idly. He’d just saved her, and his current state was likely tied to her.

She reached out, gently patting his back, but his trembling intensified.

“Ngh… Xiao Bai… Daoist… Cheng… I’m fine, please stay back, ugh—”

Cheng Qingning glanced at Xia Baiqian’s spot, bulging with her top-grade spiritual treasure, but the girl herself was gone.

Of course, I should’ve known!

Chu’s mind was flooded with images of Xia Baiqian’s rippling white figure, especially her jade feet wrapped in white stockings, so vivid that he blurted her name mid-sentence.

“This is the disciple you brought?”

Cheng Qingning finally understood why, in quiet moments, her mind drifted to Xia Baiqian’s image, her body heating uncontrollably, only calming after a while.

She’d been clueless, even wondering if she’d awakened some perverse trait.

It was all Xia Baiqian’s doing! And today, for some reason, the sensations were exponentially stronger!

A strange feeling stirred in her abdomen, familiar from her time on the Three Immortal Clouds Path, where she’d felt it multiple times.

Oh, what a dreamy night!

No, what am I thinking?!

If he succumbed here, the human part of him might be erased, leading to a soul-deep death.

Chu’s eyes blazed with defiance, hands trembling from external influence as he fought with all his will.

He didn’t realize his resistance made Cheng Qingning think he was shielding her from the demonic aura’s spread, deepening her gratitude and drawing her closer.

Chu looked up at one of Black Abyss’s most popular heroines, her lips close, eyes filled with concern.

He felt no gratitude, only the urge to scream.

What kind of plot twist is this?! My disciples are each more scheming than the last!

Chu, near tears, endured while trying to push Cheng Qingning away.

After an unknown time, Xia Baiqian emerged refreshed from her Hundred Gu Refining Immortal Cauldron, stretching her sore arms and legs.

Her body felt as if freshly bathed, her white stockings swapped for a new pair—not wet from any cascade, of course.

She glanced at her Master, expecting to see him falter, but found him still talking to Cheng Qingning, standing firm.

Her mood soured instantly, and she turned away with a cold huff.

She wanted to slap that woman with a gu insect, make her watch as she got cozy with her Master as revenge.

But in the Youming Sect, without the right incantations and hand seals to break the protective array, escaping was tough.

In this perilous setting, acting rashly could lead to disaster if external threats struck, leaving no chance to react.

Using the gu in her spiritual treasure on her Master was already her limit.

Her current priority was ensuring her Master’s absolute safety.

She needed to craft an “Anti-Youming Gu” quickly to gain enough leverage for other moves.

If not for her burning passion earlier, she wouldn’t have acted so recklessly—at least not here.

After her impulsive act, clarity hit Xia Baiqian like a tidal wave.

What… have I done?!

Thinking of her Master enduring such intense stimulation yet pretending nothing was wrong, all for appearances, made her pity him.

Glancing at him, she saw no sign he suspected her.

Her eyes sparkled, lips curling as she licked them.

Master didn’t realize it was me. With this experience, I have more tricks to play, heehee~

Hmph, since Master broke the rules first, I… won’t hold back either!

Unlike Leng Qingqiu’s torment, Xia Baiqian’s heart wasn’t as conflicted.

Leng Qingqiu had initially been sharp-tongued with her Master, later softening but still prideful. By the time she recognized her feelings, Chu had grown distant, and she struggled to close the gap.

When she learned of his memory loss, her suppressed emotions erupted boldly.

Xia Baiqian was different. From the start, she’d been close to her Master, reaping sweet rewards.

Though her occasional oversteps had led to Chu’s slight coldness, she was still better off than Leng Qingqiu.

Thus, she planned to find a way to restore his memories while using subtle tricks to shift his feelings, guiding him to cross that line willingly.

But seeing him, even amnesiac, still shining and attracting others, filled her with unease.

She resolved that once this was over, she’d do something truly… unspeakable with her Master.

Heehee, things not meant for outsiders to know, heehee~
