Villainous Master (23)
Ning Jingyu in the room beside suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her face turned pale in an instant, but her eyes were incredibly bright in the night—
Xuyi was moved!
As expected, Xuyi liked the kind of girl who was delicate, who would act coquettish towards her, and who would frankly express her inner feelings.
Ning Jingyu knew even better that Song Xuyi was a girl with a very high moral threshold, and in reality, there were too many worldly constraints between the two, so she thought of the idea of getting close to Song Xuyi in a dream.
If she had a choice, Ning Jingyu would also want to express her emotions freely like the little girl in the dream, just being herself.
However, the real Ning Jingyu was full of secrets and destined not to be able to be frank with Song Xuyi about everything.
At the beginning, Ning Jingyu felt a bit awkward pretending to be a fragile and delicate girl, revealing many flaws. Fortunately, perhaps because it was a dream, Xu Yi did not notice these flaws.
As time went by, Ning Jingyu gradually got used to the life of pretending to be the delicate girl. She even developed a vague longing: hoping to be the little girl in the dream, to forget the overwhelming hatred of the past and bravely pursue the woman she loved.
Ning Jingyu herself didn’t expect to like Song Xuyi so much, it seemed like she liked her more with each passing day.
She initially took Song Xuyi as her disciple just to use her as bait to lure out Ning Kui, who was of the demon dragon bloodline and had drained Ning Jingyu’s mother to heal his wounds. Over the years, Ning Kui had been hiding and being chased by Ning Jingyu, and she thought another water spirit root might lure Ning Kui out.
Ning Jingyu didn’t expect taking Song Xuyi as her disciple to be the best decision of her life.
Xuyi opened a window for her, and the light coming through it pierced through the dark, bloody, and hateful past, guiding her to look forward to a future with Xuyi.
Ning Jingyu didn’t want to end up like the sect leader, full of regret…
And Xuyi did not disappoint Ning Jingyu.
Under Ning Jingyu’s deliberate entanglement, Xuyi might not have noticed it herself, but Ning Jingyu, more than anyone, paid attention to Xuyi’s every move and could clearly feel a shift in Xuyi’s attitude in the dream…
When she saw the ropes suddenly appearing on her body, Ning Jingyu was also taken aback.
She absorbed a lot of demonic techniques, including those from indulgent and licentious demons who progressed by absorbing yin to supplement yang. While absorbing their techniques, she also saw some of their memories and knew many playful tricks. If anyone else dared to bind her with ropes, they would have been annihilated long ago, but if it was Xuyi…
Even though she was always the dominant one in those dreams about Xuyi, if Xuyi wanted to be on top…
Ning Jingyu’s face also flushed slightly at that moment, even though she appeared frightened, a hint of unconscious anticipation appeared in her eyes as she looked at Xuyi: actually, it was not unacceptable—
However, at that moment, Ning Jingyu discovered a faint trace of demonic energy on Xuyi!
Ning Jingyu suddenly woke up.
She perceived the external situation and realized Xuyi was currently sprinting towards the Golden Core stage, any disturbance might lead her to go berserk…
Ning Jingyu decisively pushed Xuyi out of the dream, forcibly resisted the heavenly way to block the formation of demonic energy in Xuyi, protecting her successful advancement…
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Due to trying to resist the heavenly way, Ning Jingyu suffered severe internal injuries from the backlash. Originally pretending to go into seclusion, now she really needed to go into seclusion for healing, and it would take at least half a year.
However, Ning Jingyu felt extremely happy: as long as Xuyi had feelings for her, no matter how severe the injury, Ning Jingyu would gladly endure it.
Because she needed to focus on healing, Ning Jingyu relaxed her surveillance on Xuyi, so she didn’t know that after advancing, Song Xuyi had no joy on her face, even covering her face in extreme frustration—
Song Xuyi stayed in the room for a long time, finally making up her mind to go to Ning Jingyu’s door.
Song Xuyi took a deep breath and knelt down, earnestly kowtowing three times.
“Master, I’m sorry, I have to leave for a while. During this time, I will ask other disciples to take care of Luoyun Peak’s affairs…”
Song Xuyi felt extremely guilty: she never thought she would do such a thing to the little girl with Ning Jingyu’s face in the dream!
Fortunately, the dream ended in time, if she stayed a bit longer, Song Xuyi was afraid she would completely reveal some thoughts in the dream…
But that was just self-deception!
Song Xuyi clearly understood that she developed desires for the little girl with Ning Jingyu’s face.
Song Xuyi calculated the time, Ning Jingyu would also be coming out of seclusion soon. Song Xuyi didn’t dare to face Ning Jingyu in the short term, so she decided to find an excuse to go down the mountain and stay away from everything related to Ning Jingyu. Since now this thought of coveting Ning Jingyu just started, Song Xuyi believed that with time, she could completely remove these thoughts and restore the pure master-disciple relationship with Ning Jingyu.
Thus, without Ning Jingyu’s knowledge, Song Xuyi left Xuanshu Sect.
The disciples of Xuanshu Sect had already prepared a house for Song Xuyi in the surrounding area. Song Xuyi first returned to Yuzhuo, originally thinking it would take some persuasion to convince the Song family to move near Xuanshu Sect, but because the female lead Song Xi was recently pregnant again, and the male lead Zhao Xu, as a prince, also detected the recent abnormal activities of the Demon Race, fearing that in case of chaos, something might happen to Song Xi, he strongly supported Song Xuyi in taking the Song family to a safer place.
But because Zhao Xu was a prince, at such a tense moment he had his responsibilities and missions, naturally he couldn’t abandon the people.
Song Xuyi thought from his perspective and felt that if she were the male lead, she would probably make the same choice, so she didn’t insist, respecting the male lead’s decision and took the rest to a safe place.
After settling the Song family, a few more days passed.
With the Demon Race wreaking havoc everywhere, Song Xuyi, after settling her family, also temporarily put down her major concern and started taking sect missions to subdue demons.
Soon a month passed.
During this month, Song Xuyi kept taking sect missions.
Unlike other sects who carried a high and mighty attitude when dealing with the common people, Song Xuyi handled matters seriously and patiently, and she had compassion for the common people, removing diseases wherever she went, gaining a lot of praise from the people, and being called ‘Fairy Song’.
Song Xuyi focused on her tasks and didn’t expect such a response.
Thinking about Ning Jingyu’s currently obscure reputation, Song Xuyi decided to attribute all the good reputation to Ning Jingyu: Ning Jingyu hadn’t yet walked the path of chaos as described in the original plot, if she did more good deeds and said everything was under Ning Jingyu’s orders, the people would naturally show goodwill towards Ning Jingyu, maybe Ning Jingyu would also like this world a bit more?
Therefore, wherever she did a good deed, Song Xuyi would say it was “under master’s orders”, and the people understood that there was a “number one sword cultivator in the world” named Ning Jingyu, who even though severely injured in seclusion, still cared about the people’s welfare…
Soon another six months passed.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
During these six months, Song Xuyi kept doing missions outside, and many legends about Ning Jingyu and Song Xuyi spread in the world.
The Demon Race became increasingly rampant, and people only then realized that the Immortal Realm had long been infiltrated by the demons. Several sects even found spies, and some of these spies held high and respected positions.
Everyone in the Immortal Realm was on edge, realizing that the Demon Race had been plotting for a long time.
Song Xuyi didn’t pay much attention to these disputes, she focused on traveling to the impoverished, cold, and profitless places where other Immortal Sects were reluctant to go, helping the common people drive away diseases and demons, nearly busy to the point of her feet not touching the ground.
Occasionally she would think of Ning Jingyu, subconsciously worrying whether Ning Jingyu had come out of seclusion and if she was well…
After the initial awkwardness, Song Xuyi gradually became calm: during this time, she saw too much human suffering, and compared to life and death matters, her little thoughts were nothing.
However, solving the problems caused by the Demon Race one by one was not a solution, the root of the problem needed to be addressed.
After adjusting her mindset, Song Xuyi planned to find a time to return to the sect. If she could persuade Ning Jingyu to take action and eliminate the mysterious Demon Lord causing chaos, the turmoil in the Three Realms might be ended.
Before returning to the sect, Song Xuyi took a mission: in a certain village, some women suddenly disappeared, and the situation was similar to the village where Zhao Wuyou went missing years ago.
The disappearance of Zhao Wuyou became a cold case, no one knew if it was a demon from Black Water Pool who took her, and the Three Realms were somewhat relieved by the absence of such a scourge. Except for Zhao Lin, who tirelessly searched for Zhao Wuyou’s whereabouts, others were somewhat glad.
Song Xuyi didn’t rush, first contacting the sect to explain the situation, planning to observe the village carefully before making any decisions. However, one night, Song Xuyi sensed a huge wave of spiritual energy behind her, and the next moment, she fainted…
When Song Xuyi woke up, she was already bound by an Immortal Binding Rope, with a woman’s mutilated corpse lying on the ground. Zhao Lin stood beside her, glaring at her, while the male lead Zhao Xu was being held, his eyes vacant as he accused, “She is not the Song Xuyi we know—”
“She never mentioned wanting to be an immortal cultivator, then one year her personality suddenly changed, and she said she wanted to join the sect—”
At this moment, someone entered with a bunch of items found in Song Xuyi’s residence. Seeing a small bone among them, Zhao Lin’s eyes turned red as she grabbed Song Xuyi by the collar, “Why do you have my daughter’s protective talisman? Did you do something to her?”
……
Someone persuaded Zhao Lin to step back, and the surroundings became incredibly noisy. Song Xuyi wanted to speak but found she couldn’t make a sound, realizing someone had placed a silencing restriction on her—
Song Xuyi instantly sobered up: someone wanted to frame her as a spy for the Demon Race!
Who was trying to frame her?
……
Countless thoughts flashed through Song Xuyi’s mind, and her inability to speak was taken by everyone as an admission. Under Zhao Lin’s insistence, others determined Song Xuyi was a spy and decided to read her memory.
Reading memories was a form of punishment: inducing a person’s most evil thoughts in public, it was tantamount to being stripped naked in front of everyone for those who had done wrong. A slight mistake in the process could damage the person’s cultivation and mind…
The jade ball used for the spell was placed in front of Song Xuyi, but it remained motionless for a long time—
After a long while, a scene suddenly appeared before Song Xuyi: she carefully approached Ning Jingyu, who was meditating, tremblingly kissed her—
—Meditating Ning Jingyu opened her eyes.
Just as everyone was about to look further, the scene abruptly stopped.
The place fell silent, as if a stone had been thrown into the water, causing countless discussions: “Who would have thought she was coveting Fairy Ning, if Fairy Ning knew she would surely feel humiliated!”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“Morally corrupt, despicable!”
……
“No wonder she wanted to kill my daughter back then, afraid she would take the position of Fairy Ning’s disciple…” Zhao Lin, with red eyes, gritted her teeth, formed a spiritual energy ball, and hurled it at Song Xuyi—
The next moment, the spiritual energy ball suddenly turned, hitting the ground beside Zhao Lin.
A figure in white appeared in front of Song Xuyi…
