Chapter 106: Qingmei Niang, the Alluring Fox
Something was wrong with Qingying.
Her clothes were partially undone, revealing her delicate shoulders. Her face, usually as cold and impassive as a glacier, was now flushed a delicate shade of pink, unusually alluring.
Her breathing was ragged, and soft moans escaped her lips.
Chen Yin was silent for a long moment, then asked tentatively:
“Um… Sister, are you alright?”
Qingying looked up at him with difficulty, strands of hair clinging to her sweaty forehead, her eyes clouded with a strange haze.
“Kill me,” she said, her voice strained as she gritted her teeth.
“I’ve been poisoned with an aphrodisiac. Let me die with some dignity.”
Chen Yin froze, then finally understood what that seductive fox woman, Qingmei Niang, had meant by “petty.”
…Seriously, Madam Qingmei, calling this revenge is a bit of a stretch. Aren’t you afraid I’ll enjoy this a little too much?
Of course, he wouldn’t say that out loud. Chen Yin coughed lightly and reached out to check her meridians. “Let me see.”
But before he could touch her, Qingying cried out in panic:
“Don’t… don’t touch me—ah!”
That soft moan was completely different from her usual cold and indifferent tone.
It was a seductive and alluring sound that even stunned Chen Yin.
But he had only touched her shoulder for a brief moment.
The next moment, Qingying collapsed onto the bed, her moans growing louder.
Chen Yin stared at her with a strange expression.
…Did she just, uh…
He couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Qingying’s body trembled slightly.
But her gaze towards Chen Yin was filled with despair.
“Kill me,” she said, her voice calm but pleading. “Please.”
Chen Yin coughed awkwardly. “Well, Sister, life is precious. You shouldn’t have such thoughts.”
“You haven’t even found your brother’s remains yet. It would be a shame to die now.”
Then, as if trying to counsel a suicidal teenager, he began to lecture her on the value of life.
He seemed completely oblivious to Qingying’s increasingly flushed face.
“Don’t… even think about it…” Qingying gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with hostility. “I’d rather die than submit to you!”
“Wow, you’re quite resolute.”
Chen Yin said with a smile. “In that case, how about this.”
“I’ll carry you back to Miss Nan and have her cure you. What do you think?”
Qingying glared at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Chen Yin’s innocent “See? I’m so chivalrous, I’m not abandoning you” expression only infuriated her further.
“Don’t move, let me carry you.”
He reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Mmm!!”
The moment he touched her, Qingying’s body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, a muffled moan escaping her lips.
Her body twitched slightly, but her eyes were filled with despair.
…Wow. Chen Yin looked at her reaction with surprise.
This aphrodisiac is potent. It’s made her incredibly sensitive.
I wonder if they sell this stuff. If it’s harmless, I might want to get some for Senior Sister to spice things up in the bedroom.
Of course, he wouldn’t act on that thought. Chen Yin had teased her enough. He chuckled and said:
“Just kidding.”
“Don’t worry, I can help you.”
He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Qingying.
Qingying, her mind already hazy, didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the pill and swallowed it, then asked, her voice trembling and her forehead covered in sweat:
“This can cure the aphrodisiac?”
“No.” Chen Yin answered honestly.
Qingying was stunned. “Then why did you give it to me?”
“It’ll knock you out, and you won’t feel anything.”
Qingying: “…”
At that moment, she wanted to kill him.
But the pill worked quickly. Her consciousness was already fading, and she collapsed onto the bed, her eyelids heavy with drowsiness.
Before losing consciousness, she glared at Chen Yin with a venomous look.
“I won’t… let you off the hook… even in death…”
After Qingying passed out, Chen Yin sat by the bed and poked her gently.
“Sister?”
“Hello? Are you okay?”
Seeing that she was unresponsive, Chen Yin finally relaxed.
He had to admit, this was the first time he had seen Qingying’s seductive side, a stark contrast to her usual cold and aloof demeanor.
Who would have thought that this icy woman, whose words could cut like shards of ice, would make such alluring sounds in bed?
Of course, he wouldn’t take advantage of her.
He turned his head slightly and said calmly, “Madam Qingmei, the joke’s gone far enough, don’t you think?”
Meanwhile, back in the main hall…
Luo Luo clung to Qingmei Niang’s hand, her small face filled with worry:
“Mother! Young Master and Sister Qingying are good people! They’re so kind to me, and they even helped me rescue Ya Ya and the others.”
“Please don’t hurt them!”
Qingmei Niang gently stroked Luo Luo’s soft cheek with her delicate hand and chuckled.
“You silly girl. You go out for a while, and now you’re siding with outsiders.”
“Tell me, is that Young Master more important to you than your own mother?”
“I-I didn’t…” Luo Luo’s voice trailed off.
Qingmei Niang didn’t scold her but patted her head affectionately.
“Don’t worry. That aphrodisiac is harmless. It’ll wear off on its own.”
“But your Young Master has quite the willpower. To have such a beautiful woman practically throwing herself at him, and he still resisted.” Qingmei Niang couldn’t help but tease.
“Mother… stop bullying Young Master.” Luo Luo tugged at her arm, acting spoiled.
“Alright, alright.” Unable to resist her daughter’s pleas, Qingmei Niang rolled her eyes playfully. “You silly girl, always so compassionate.”
Luo Luo stuck her tongue out playfully.
With a wave of her elegant sleeve, Chen Yin reappeared in the hall.
“Wow, that’s amazing.”
This time, he seemed calm, his eyes filled with curiosity. “Is this the Azure Fox clan’s ability to manipulate the void?”
“Does it meet your expectations, Young Master?” Qingmei Niang chuckled seductively.
“Ahem, it does, it does, it definitely does.”
Chen Yin straightened his clothes, his smile fading slightly, and bowed respectfully.
“Chen Yin of Mount Yu, greetings, Madam Qingmei.”
Mount Yu? Hearing those words, Qingmei Niang’s expression changed.
“You said you’re from Mount Yu?”
“Y-yes.” Chen Yin looked at her nervously.
…Don’t tell me this Madam Qingmei also has a history with that old loli granny?
Fortunately, Qingmei Niang suddenly burst into laughter, covering her mouth with her hand.
Her laughter was as seductive and captivating as a succubus, as if she was trying to steal his very soul.
“So you’re actually that Yu Ling’s disciple?”
“Indeed, she is my Master.” Chen Yin replied respectfully.
Qingmei Niang laughed for a long time, until she was out of breath, then leaned back against her chair, panting.
“Yu Ling, oh Yu Ling, I never thought I’d encounter you again after all these years.”
“What a… strange twist of fate.” Her smile faded slightly.
Chen Yin asked curiously, “Do you know my Master, Madam Qingmei?”
“We knew each other. But it was a long time ago.”
Qingmei Niang leaned back casually. “So long ago that she probably doesn’t even remember me.”
Chen Yin wondered how long ago that could have been.
“About a thousand years, I’d say.”
“…”
Just how long have you two old monsters lived? He thought, his lips twitching slightly.
“This is quite interesting.”
Qingmei Niang looked at Chen Yin, her eyes filled with even more intrigue.
“I’m curious now. What kind of disciple would that old woman Yu Ling take on?”
“Well, naturally, it would be me, the handsome, strong, and virile Number One Pretty Boy of the cultivation world.” Chen Yin said shamelessly.
Luo Luo blushed and glared at him playfully.
Qingmei Niang burst into laughter, clapping her hands in delight.
“Like Master, like disciple, as they say. Your shamelessness is definitely inherited from that old woman.”
“Hey, that’s not fair, Madam Qingmei.” Chen Yin protested seriously.
“I’m much more shameless than my Master.”
“Alright.”
After their playful banter, Qingmei Niang said softly, “We started off on the wrong foot, but I quite like you now, Young Master Chen.”
“As you said, let’s consider the matter of the contract and the mountain formation settled. As for taking care of Luo Luo and rescuing Ya Ya and the others, my Azure Fox clan will reward you handsomely.”
“How does that sound? Is this arrangement satisfactory?” Qingmei Niang looked at him with a smile.
Chen Yin nodded repeatedly. “As you wish, Madam Qingmei.”
Luo Luo also breathed a sigh of relief, then happily ran over and hugged Chen Yin’s arm.
“That’s great, Young Master! Now I can show you around our mountain city!”
Chen Yin smiled and ruffled her head, while Qingmei Niang sighed dramatically.
“Ah, daughters are all ungrateful little wolves. They go out for a while, and when they return, they forget all about their mothers.”
“Mother, that’s not true!” Luo Luo protested.
“Alright, alright, I know you, you little rascal.”
Qingmei Niang’s eyes crinkled with amusement. “Show Young Master Chen around our city.”
“I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to accompany you.”
Luo Luo nodded obediently and eagerly pulled Chen Yin’s hand.
“Young Master, let’s go play!”
Before leaving, Chen Yin bowed respectfully towards Qingmei Niang, then let Luo Luo drag him out of the hall.
After they were gone, Qingmei Niang’s smile faded, replaced by a melancholic sigh.
“Ah,”
“It’s truly been over a thousand years, hasn’t it?”
“I wonder if Yu Ling… is still searching?” Her gaze was distant and filled with a quiet longing.
Will she ever find it?
