Chapter 165 - 164: Sister Yu, You Wouldn't Want the Master's Wife to Know You're Seducing the Master, Would You?
Yu Gu Nan hovered above the stream. With every breath, Spiritual Qi swirled around her like a thin mist, making her seem as ethereal as a celestial maiden.
But the words the young woman spoke were straight from the Demon Dao.
'Master was so thorough with his edits. The *Seven Profound Chapters of the Dark Monarch* is clearly an extremely high-grade Cultivation Method. But after he removed the part about extracting and refining the souls and Essence Blood of others, the entire Cultivation Technique's grade took a massive nosedive.
If only I could restore the part Master deleted. Then, combined with Master's Dual Cultivation Dao, I bet I'd soon be able to go into seclusion and break through to the Nascent Soul realm myself.'
But even as she thought this, Yu Gu Nan knew Pei Yuhang would never allow her to do such a thing.
Cultivating a Demonic Cultivation Technique and blood-sacrificing the masses was an absolute taboo among the Righteous Sects. Over the millennia, the Dao Sect had seen its share of peerless prodigies who, in their pursuit of power, secretly practiced faster-advancing evil demonic arts. Once discovered, if not immediately executed, they were at the very least thrown into the Celestial Prison, never to see the light of day again.
By having her practice a redacted Demonic Cultivation Technique, Pei Yuhang was already pushing the boundaries of the Xuanyuan Dao Sect. If she were to take another step, then even if Pei Yuhang didn't personally clean house, he absolutely would not be able to protect her.
Yu Gu Nan felt that this power wasn't something she desperately needed. There was no reason to incur such a cost; it wasn't worth it.
However, speaking of her Master, and counting the days... it had already been six days since she had been intimate with him.
Recalling the joyous time with her Master on the Flying Ship, the young woman instantly lost all motivation to cultivate. Instead, she began plotting how to find a chance in the next day or two to ask her Master out and have some fun~
The thought that her Master had promised to "reward" her once every seven days, only to actually go seven days without seeking her out, made Yu Gu Nan fume.
Hmph, this time she would definitely squeeze all seven days' worth out of him.
She wouldn't leave a single drop for Ye Liyuan!
However, Yu Gu Nan also knew that achieving that would be a huge challenge. It seemed she would have to prepare all sorts of elixirs to restore her stamina and heal her body. When the time came, she would make a rule: Master wasn't allowed to use Spiritual Qi to recover his energy, while she could pop elixirs indefinitely.
By cheating, she would definitely be able to squeeze him completely dry!
KEK KEKEKE~
CRUNCH—
The sound of a leaf being crushed came from behind her.
Yu Gu Nan's pupils contracted. She turned to find a cold, detached young woman in a black dress. Her coldness was different from her Senior Sister's. Her Senior Sister was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, more like a protective shell. This woman's coldness, however, was an aggressive and desolate sort.
It gave one an inexplicable sense of pressure, like gazing upon the edge of an ornate blade—beautiful, yet dangerous.
"You're Ji Xichan... Miss Ji? May I ask if you need something from me?"
On the surface, Yu Gu Nan put on a well-behaved and cute smile, but a drop of cold sweat trickled down her spine.
'This Ji Xichan approached without a sound, then deliberately made a noise to get my attention... She must be up to no good.'
'But this is the Cold Palace Sword Mansion, and I have Pei Yuhang's protection. Besides, Ji Xichan and I have no history, no grudges. I can't imagine what she could possibly want from me.'
'Even if she wanted revenge, she should be looking for Senior Sister.'
"Junior Yu, there is something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Ji Xichan's lips parted, and her voice flowed out like a cold spring.
"Sister Ji, my Cultivation is limited. I probably can't help you with much, you know."
Yu Gu Nan was someone who hated trouble. She used a cute voice, acting weak and adorable in an attempt to decline.
But Ji Xichan's next words made her pupils contract and her heart pound uncontrollably.
"No, Junior Yu... you are the only one who can help me with this."
"When you go for your tryst with Sword Immortal Pei tonight, can you let me go with you?"
Ji Xichan gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, the corner of her lips curling into a composed smile.
"S-Sister Ji, what are you talking about? A tryst with Master or something... you can't just joke about things like that. It's not funny at all."
Yu Gu Nan didn't understand why Ji Xichan would say such a thing to her. She had only just been *thinking* about being intimate with her Master; she hadn't said it out loud. Unless Ji Xichan possessed some godlike mind-reading Divine Abilities, it was impossible for her to know.
'Is she testing me?'
Faced with an information deficit, Yu Gu Nan didn't know Ji Xichan's intentions, so she could only respond by playing dumb.
But Ji Xichan wasn't about to let her off so easily.
Her calves, wrapped in thin, sheer black stockings, moved forward, bringing her straight up to Yu Gu Nan.
"Sister Ji, what are you trying to do? If you try to make a move, my Master absolutely will not spare you."
"Are you trying to scare me with Pei Yuhang, Junior Yu? It seems you really believe he'll stand up for you. After all, you two have *that* kind of relationship~"
Ji Xichan looked down at her, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"What kind of relationship? Miss Ji, you might as well speak plainly. Don't spread baseless rumors!"
"Rumors? In the Cultivation Realm, there's a type of Treasure Gu called the True Heart Gu. It screams whenever it detects a Cultivator telling a lie. Would you like to test it out, Junior Yu?"
Ji Xichan reached out a finger and hooked Yu Gu Nan's chin, forcing her to meet her gaze.
"Stop struggling, Junior Yu~ I already know all your secrets."
"You wouldn't want your master's wife to find out that you're a shameless hussy who seduced your own Master and came between a pair of Dao Companions, would you?"
"Just think, if your Master's wife found out, she would surely split from Pei Yuhang. How do you think Pei Yuhang would see you then? You can't be naive enough to think that just because he lost his Dao Companion, you'd get to take her place, can you?
As the third party, once the relationship comes to light, you will only be scorned by everyone."
"I can help you keep this a secret, you know. Help you stabilize this little 'secret lover' situation."
Yu Gu Nan looked at Ji Xichan's flawlessly beautiful face and clenched her fists slightly.
"What do you want? For me to help you get revenge on Senior Sister?"
Ji Xichan shook her head, a morbid smile spreading across her face that sent a chill of disgust through Yu Gu Nan.
"No. I want to join your little secret lover game with Pei Sword Immortal. Except, I'll be the one in charge."
...
...
"Liyuan, are you feeling any better?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. This is already the eighteenth time you've asked."
Ye Liyuan rolled her eyes gracefully. Though she looked exasperated, the happy smile that bloomed from Ah Han's concerned questions was impossible to hide.
Ever since her nightmare the day before, Pei Yuhang had been by her side for the past two days, fussing over her constantly.
Pei Yuhang was showing Ye Liyuan through his actions just how much he loved her.
Now, Ye Liyuan had no more worries about her Dao Companion, only an overwhelming sense of security.
'With a husband like this, what more could I ask for?'
Pei Yuhang smiled as he saw the rosy color return to his Dao Companion's cheeks. He took Liyuan's hand, and just as he was about to speak, a voice transmission entered his Sea of Consciousness.
Yu Gu Nan: [Master... my Evil Fire Poison is acting up. I really can't stand it anymore. Please, hurry and come be with me...]
