Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 374 361: Lu Fairy's Cancerous Love, Lin Qianyan is on Her Way

Lin Qianyan was just about to charge into Dan Yun Pavilion to save her man when her ears twitched. It seemed she had heard something, and she froze in place.

'That woman... isn't planning to make a move on Brother Pei right now?'

Lin Qianyan's expression calmed down.

'If Lu Ruoxi isn't planning to act right now...'

'...then if I rush over now, not only will I fail to uncover any of her schemes, but I'll also tip her off. That cunning woman will just hide her true, wicked nature again and go back to playing the innocent victim in front of Brother Pei!'

'I have to expose this old Fox Spirit completely so Brother Pei can see her for who she truly is.'

'I can't be so reckless...'

'I have to be absolutely certain of success before I make my move.'

'If I want to back her into a corner completely, I can't expose myself recklessly.'

After experiencing the countless infidelities of A Thousand Years of Great Dream, Lin Qianyan had learned to endure far more.

Now, she decided to be a little more patient and bait a bigger fish!

'Junior Brother Pei, my adorable Junior Brother Pei, mwah~'

The communication ring on her fingertip flashed, and the sound of a tongue licking something reached Lin Qianyan's ears.

Wait—

'What is that woman doing to my Brother Pei!'

"You pervert! You lecherous hag—!!"

Lin Qianyan spat out the words through gritted teeth, her eyes already turning red.

'To think she'd take advantage of Brother Pei while he's unconscious and do as she pleases! The Dao Sect is supposed to be a great and righteous sect, how could it produce a heretical, degenerate Demoness like you!'

'Shameless old Fox Spirit! I'll make you pay for this!'

The sound of suggestive kissing reached her ears.

Then, a wet, lapping noise.

Lin Qianyan's nails dug deep into her palms. She forced herself to breathe deeply, trying not to imagine the depraved scene, but she couldn't stop her eyes from welling up.

She clenched her fist and slammed it furiously onto the White Jade balustrade before her, shattering it to dust.

'No! I have to stay calm! I can't be impulsive—'

'Brother Pei is at a critical point in his breakthrough. Lu Ruoxi can't do anything to him for real; she doesn't have the opportunity. The most she can do is take a few liberties...'

'She's just taking advantage of Brother Pei a little... I can still endure it!'

'I can still endure it!'

Lin Qianyan listened to the cloyingly sweet breaths and Lu Ruoxi's hot, heavy panting in her ear.

She squeezed her eyes shut, her long lashes trembling, and took several deep breaths to barely suppress the bitter jealousy churning within her.

She clenched her fists, telling herself it was no big deal.

'Lu Ruoxi, you can only gloat for a little while.'

'I, Lin Qianyan, will soon expose you for the vixen you are right in front of Brother Pei!'

'For Brother Pei's sake, I've already endured so much infidelity during A Thousand Years of Great Dream. What's a little more humiliation like this?!'

'This small shame is nothing!'

Lin Qianyan steeled her resolve. She would wait for the perfect moment to strike.

But Lu Ruoxi's heavy panting, tinged with mockery directed at her, continued to echo in her ear.

'Junior Brother Pei, you're mine now, and you will be mine forever. No one can ever take you from me!'

'That Saintess Lin was so smug yesterday, wasn't she? Flaunting your favor, putting on airs right in front of me. Sooner or later, I'm going to be with you, right in front of her—'

'—and show her who the woman Junior Brother Pei will forever cherish is!'

'Lin Qianyan… She's already "had" you, hasn't she, Junior Brother Pei? Hmph, from that wanton look about her, I can tell she's no longer a chaste Jade Maiden.'

'So shameless, yet she still has the nerve to be the Saintess of the Jade Pool Sacred Land. Ptooey!'

CRACK—

Lin Qianyan's knuckles cracked. A sliver of her terrifying Void Refining Power leaked out, whipping up a violent gale within the Jade Palace.

Outside the palace, Pei Xiaohan, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, sensed her master's furious Spiritual Qi fluctuations and sighed in dismay.

"Sigh. Ever since Master met Elder Pei, her emotions have been so unstable."

'I absolutely cannot let those two be together anymore!'

This only strengthened Pei Xiaohan's resolve to break up her master and Elder Pei.

'But she knew she couldn't do it on her own.'

'Who could she ask for help?'

Pei Xiaohan lowered her gaze, and the perfect candidate soon came to mind.

'Sister Yueqiu seems to really admire Elder Pei. She probably doesn't want to see Elder Pei get together with my master, right?'

'After all, it would brand Elder Pei, a married man, as an adulterer. Sister Yueqiu surely treasures Elder Pei's reputation and wouldn't want that to happen.'

'Maybe I should tell Sister Yueqiu about Elder Pei's relationship with Master and ask her to help me break them up.'

...

...

「Dan Yun Pavilion.」

Pei Yuhang's breathing gradually stabilized. The Yanghuang Pill inside his body seemed to have been completely refined, causing his body to shine with a faint, crimson-gold light.

Lu Ruoxi slowly lowered the flames of the Pill Furnace. As she looked at Pei Yuhang—whose body had been completely transformed and whose aura was now transcendent after refining the Yanghuang Pill—she couldn't help but swallow hard.

'By my calculations, there's still about an hour before Junior Brother Pei finishes regulating his qi and wakes up.'

'In other words, right now, Junior Brother Pei is all hers!'

The corners of Lu Ruoxi's lips curled into a possessive smile. A faint blush crept into the corners of her eyes, which shimmered with a dazed, watery light.

Her slender fingers gently brushed over the edge of the Pill Furnace, her fingertips trembling slightly with excitement.

She carefully lifted Pei Yuhang out of the Pill Furnace, her movements as gentle as if handling a fragile treasure, but the surging possessiveness in her eyes was startlingly intense.

Lu Ruoxi took a towel and patiently wiped his skin, inch by inch. Her gaze lingered almost greedily on every contour, a dangerous flame dancing in the depths of her pupils.

After that, she carefully carried Pei Yuhang out of the Alchemy Room and placed him on the bed in her boudoir.

Lu Ruoxi looked at Pei Yuhang, who was lying on her bed with his eyes peacefully closed.

The tips of her toes inside her pale pink socks curled unconsciously in excitement.

She bit her lower lip, a smile that was both sweet and twisted appearing on her face.

"Junior Brother Pei..."

Lu Ruoxi murmured, her voice hoarse and off-key, as if talking in her sleep.

"Using my tea as a catalyst, I will now re-apply the Forgetful Spell on you."

She leaned over and placed a kiss on Pei Yuhang's forehead.

But immense guilt, along with a self-loathing for having to resort to such despicable, sneaky means to get close to her junior brother, swept through her heart.

A single clear tear suddenly slid down her crimson cheek.

Lu Ruoxi hurriedly wiped the tear with her sleeve, as if trying to hide her weakness.

As if to convince herself.

A broken sob escaped her throat, "Don't blame me, Junior Brother Pei. I can't wait any longer... I really can't wait any longer..."

"I'm afraid you'll avoid me and never see me again, just like you did after your wedding with Liyuan... I truly don't know any other way to keep you by my side, other than resorting to such despicable methods."

"I... I have no other choice..."

"This is all because... I love you too much!"

Lu Ruoxi's panting was mixed with suppressed sobs. Her whole body was draped over Pei Yuhang, and she began to tremble violently.

A moment later, when Lu Ruoxi raised her head again, her eyes were filled with determination.

She bit the tip of her finger and let a drop of blood fall onto Pei Yuhang's forehead.

She was about to begin casting the spell.

Lu Fairy's heart was still in turmoil, for she knew this was unfair to Pei Yuhang.

The principles she had been taught since childhood forbade such an act.

But she also knew.

But she also knew that once the spell was cast, the frantic passion she could share with a completely obedient Junior Brother Pei would wash away all her guilt.

And so, she would see her selfish desires through to the end!

But just then, she suddenly noticed something seemed to be in Pei Yuhang's throat.

"This is—"

She reached for Pei Yuhang's throat, but her attention was suddenly drawn to a fluctuation of distorted space from the room next door.

That was the room where Pei Yuhang had changed his clothes earlier.

At that moment, a Teleportation Scroll, tucked within the white robes in that room, was activated by a certain woman who could endure no longer.
