Chapter 82: Sudden Change, Birth of the Jade Pendant Spirit
Hua Shuya smiled seductively, crossing her long legs covered in delicate silk. Her slender, jade-like fingers brushed against her skirt as she chuckled softly, “Senior, it seems quite lively outside.”
“The village chief of He’an Village had malicious intentions and schemed here for many years, harming countless lives. He has now been brought to justice.”
Lin Tianlu gently closed the door behind him, his brow furrowed slightly. “Miss Hua, did the commotion outside wake you up?”
“It was indeed a bit noisy. But Senior, don’t worry, my strength has mostly recovered.”
Hua Shuya covered her lips with a chuckle, but her eyes were overflowing with charm. The aloof aura of a sword immortal was gone, replaced by an alluring demeanor, her beautiful eyes sending flirtatious glances.
At the same time, the Yin energy that had been restrained within her body quietly seeped out, entwining around her delicate figure, causing the green gauze robe she wore to undergo a subtle transformation.
The silk around her waist and back became translucent, revealing her skin. The skirt split open from the side of her leg, and the front of her robe unfurled like a flower, transforming into interwoven silver ribbons that barely held her figure together, revealing the curves of her body.
“Mmm~ This is much more comfortable.”
She stretched her arms languidly and seductively, letting out a soft moan like a cat, as a few strands of her snow-white hair turned green and fell to her ears.
Hua Shuya leaned to the side, her beautiful body on display, and smiled invitingly. “Senior, why are you just standing there? Why don’t you sit down and read for a while?”
Lin Tianlu’s expression remained calm, and he said indifferently, “You are not Hua Shuya.”
“Why would Senior come to such a conclusion?”
Hua Shuya’s eyes narrowed slightly, her pink lips curving into an intrigued smile. “Could it be because I’ve made some slight adjustments to my attire, revealing more of myself to Senior?”
As she spoke, she ran her hand over her body and muttered resentfully, “But Senior has no idea how tight my chest was just now. It was so stuffy that I could hardly breathe, it was very uncomfortable.”
Lin Tianlu slowly approached, his eyes serious. “Miss Hua would never act so frivolously.”
The mystical painting scroll had already unfolded silently, and it showed that this woman was undoubtedly Hua Shuya in the flesh. The Yin energy flowing within her body hadn’t changed, and there wasn’t even a trace of blood-red light clinging to her.
What exactly had happened?
“How could Senior understand my thoughts?”
Hua Shuya twirled her hair and tilted her head with a playful smile. “I wouldn’t be so casual in front of others, I would definitely maintain a pure and virtuous image. But now, I’m alone in a room with Senior, so it’s not unacceptable to let Senior see a little bit of my skin. Besides…
I’m actually quite happy to let Senior admire my body~”
“Who are you?”
Lin Tianlu stood before the girl, his gaze calmly looking down at her. “Are you the Jade Peak Mountain spirit?”
“Senior is so cold, it really hurts my feelings.”
Hua Shuya sighed softly and stood up abruptly. Then, she suddenly flashed a bewitching smile, standing on tiptoe, bending her fair, jade-like right leg. Her figure spun gracefully, carrying a faint fragrance as she moved behind Lin Tianlu. Her cold fingers gently brushed against the back of his hand.
“Senior, don’t mistake me for some Jade Peak Mountain spirit. It has been captured and suppressed by Senior, so how could it be me?”
“Then who are you?”
Faced with Lin Tianlu’s indifferent questioning, Hua Shuya chuckled mischievously, spreading her arms and pressing her cold body against him. She whispered in his ear, “Senior, why do you care so much? Shouldn’t you just enjoy the moment?”
“You only need to know that I have you in my heart, and that’s enough.”
Looking at her own figure, Hua Shuya’s cheeks flushed slightly, but her smile widened, her eyes filled with an almost tangible lust.
Lin Tianlu turned to look at her at this moment.
“…”
But this glance was like a silent threat, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
Hua Shuya’s smile froze, as if she was intimidated by his silent aura. Her seductive actions stopped abruptly, and she could only chuckle awkwardly. “Se-Senior, staring at me like that… is a little scary.”
“If you continue to act recklessly, do you really think I won’t be angry?”
Lin Tianlu’s voice was icy cold, like a low growl.
The charm on Hua Shuya’s face gradually faded, and she averted her gaze with a slightly guilty conscience. “Does Senior care so much about identity?”
“I don’t know who you are. But this is Miss Hua’s body, not something you can use for your own amusement.”
“…But you accepted Miss Cheng’s confession back then.”
Hua Shuya muttered softly. “Could it be that my charm is inferior to Miss Cheng’s, and I can’t make Senior’s heart flutter?”
“…”
Lin Tianlu’s brow twitched.
This person even knew about that?!
Seeing that the ambiguous atmosphere had dissipated, Hua Shuya no longer intended to hide her identity. She raised her head and said, “Senior has been wearing me day and night, and you still haven’t discovered my true identity?”
These words made Lin Tianlu’s expression turn strange.
It was just a guess in his mind before, but now…
“Could it be that you are really that ‘jade pendant’?”
“It’s me.”
Hua Shuya smiled seductively. “Are you surprised?”
Lin Tianlu’s expression changed.
“Why are you—”
“Why am I able to speak using Miss Hua’s body?” ‘Hua Shuya’ took two steps back, gracefully twirling around while holding the corners of her robe, revealing a dazzling smile. “Naturally, it’s because we have become one. I am within her, and she is within me. You could say we are one body with two souls.”
Become one?
Lin Tianlu said in a deep voice, “Back then on Jade Peak Mountain, you suddenly entered Miss Hua’s body, was it for this?”
“At that time, Miss Hua was suddenly attacked by a large amount of Yin energy and was severely injured. And I happen to be skilled in using Yin energy. Seeing the urgency of the situation, I decided to merge with her body and temporarily help alleviate her injuries.”
‘Hua Shuya’ stretched out her right hand, and a green sword quickly condensed into form. A look of amazement appeared on her face. “But I never expected that Miss Hua’s personality would be so strong and unyielding. She even refined the Yin energy I gave her into swordsmanship power. This intelligence and talent are truly worthy of your esteemed disciple.”
Seeing Lin Tianlu lost in thought, ‘Hua Shuya’ smiled sweetly, stepped forward with her sword, and gently placed her right hand on his chest.
A faint sense of familiarity arose, the same aura that the jade pendant occasionally emitted in the past.
“It really is you.”
Lin Tianlu dismissed his doubts and said thoughtfully, “So, you saved Miss Hua’s life.”
But ‘Hua Shuya’ just shook her head with a smile. “I am Senior’s possession. If Senior wants to save Miss Hua, I will naturally save her.”
Seeing her gentle and obedient attitude, Lin Tianlu’s tone softened considerably.
“Then how should your current situation be handled? Are you going to be like this forever?”
“Don’t worry, this merged state is only temporary. Although the vast amount of Yin energy is under my control, it has still invaded Miss Hua’s bone marrow. If she wants to safely return to her original state, it will probably take some time.”
“Can you two separate again later?”
“Of course.” ‘Hua Shuya’ smiled gently. “Miss Hua won’t have any lasting effects. On the contrary, she will benefit greatly. Her meridians and Qi Sea will be several times wider than before, and her cultivation path will be much smoother. The newly born Sword Heart and Sword Intent will also become her treasures.”
Lin Tianlu felt relieved upon hearing this.
It seemed that he really didn’t need to worry too much.
“Then after you two separate, will you—”
‘Hua Shuya’ smiled serenely. “Naturally, I will return to being that small jade pendant.”
“…”
Lin Tianlu frowned slightly. “You don’t have a human form?”
“I might have had one before, but looking at the broken state of the jade pendant, it’s clear.” ‘Hua Shuya’ sighed with a hint of distress. “Now I can only come out and say a few words while Miss Hua is asleep.”
Lin Tianlu pondered for a moment.
“Do you remember anything from the past? How should I address you?”
He couldn’t keep calling her “jade pendant” all the time.
“I know what you want to ask, but unfortunately, my memory is also completely blank. I’ve forgotten everything. The knowledge about Yin energy is probably just some kind of instinct. As for a name…”
‘Hua Shuya’ tapped her red lips as she paced around the room, her eyes blinking.
Soon, she seemed to have thought of something and smiled charmingly.
“Master, you can call me Yu Xuanling.”
