67. The Question of Who Gets Master at Night

With Shangguan Lingyue’s consent, Gong Yiling had one foot inside the royal city.

As for the other foot… that depended on luck.

This trip to the capital would take several days, and Gong Yiling would bring the three girls along.

Of course, she had to introduce them to Shangguan Lingyue.

Qiu Shui and Chun Lian could easily blend in, but Shangguan Ziyuan was a different story.

“Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”

Shangguan Lingyue scrutinized the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Somehow, she reminded her of Little Five, Shangguan Ziyuan, but there were some differences in their appearance.

After pinching the girl’s face to confirm she wasn’t wearing a disguise, Shangguan Lingyue focused on her hat.

But before she could touch it, Shangguan Ziyuan blushed and hid behind Gong Yiling, peeking out with a wary expression.

“She’s shy around strangers.”

Gong Yiling shielded her, gently patting Shangguan Ziyuan’s head. “Do you have any other questions, General?”

“What’s her name?”

“Lu Xinyao,” Gong Yiling replied without hesitation. “The daughter of a friend. The rest is none of your concern.”

She could reveal Shangguan Ziyuan’s true identity—but there was no need.

As long as Shangguan Ziyuan remained Lu Xinyao, no one besides them would know she was still alive.

Even Shangguan Lingyue would only be told after the Grand Elder was healed.

“Since she’s your friend’s daughter, I won’t pry.”

Shangguan Lingyue put aside her curiosity. “We’ll depart tomorrow. I’ll take my leave now.”

“Farewell.”

After seeing off Shangguan Lingyue and her impressive fan club, Chun Lian suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, so she’s the Crimson Flame War God!”

“You know her?” Gong Yiling raised an eyebrow.

“My parents mentioned her when I was young.” This was the first time Chun Lian mentioned her parents.

In the novel, Chun Lian was practically a background character, even less significant than the double agent Qiu Shui.

Gong Yiling didn’t even know if she survived in the end.

Speaking of which…

Chun Lian’s background was still unknown, which was puzzling.

If she was just an ordinary maid, the system wouldn’t have labeled it as “unknown.” There was only one possibility.

“Because the author didn’t write it,” the system suddenly said.

“Which author are you referring to?” Gong Yiling retorted casually.

System: “Please refrain from breaking the fourth wall. I’m referring to Gong Youyuan, of course.”

“So you’re saying, my sister set up Qiu Shui as the inheritor of the Cloud Rainbow Sect and Shangguan Ziyuan as someone with the Divine Phoenix Fox Demon bloodline, then killed them off after a few hundred chapters?”

System: “Yes.”

Gong Yiling: “Why???”

System: “You know, some authors create characters, but due to plot changes, their roles are reduced, or their initial settings are forgotten.”

Well…

That did sound familiar.

As she took the three girls out for dinner, she asked the system, “So, this world is Gong Youyuan’s original setting?”

“Partially. The parts without settings are rewrites, or AI-generated continuations.”

“AI-generated…”

Was that reliable?

She had read some AI-generated stories before, filled with absurd and nonsensical plot twists.

Like Kirito from Sword Art Online transmigrating to another world, losing his memory, and falling in love with a new childhood friend named Alice.

Or Asuka from Evangelion randomly marrying some nobody, while Shinji married someone insignificant.

Or even more ridiculous ones, like Eren Yeager obtaining the Founding Titan’s power and immediately making his mother’s killer eat her.

They were all bizarre AI creations.

She could only hope the AI wouldn’t give Chun Lian a tragic backstory.

…

…

Their last meal in the city had to be a feast.

However, when the dishes were served, Gong Yiling was puzzled.

Why weren’t the girls eating? They were all staring at her.

It made her uncomfortable.

“Um… what’s wrong?”

The three girls exchanged glances. Finally, Qiu Shui cleared her throat and said seriously, “Regarding Master’s… allocation, Chun Lian, Ziyuan, and I have a proposal.”

Little Black Shangguan Ziyuan pouted. “Actually… I don’t have any demands.”

“No way!” Chun Lian grabbed her, almost nose to nose. “Little Heehee, didn’t we agree? United front!”

Shangguan Ziyuan opened her mouth to speak.

But before she could, Chun Lian whispered in her ear, “Don’t you want that thing anymore?”

Whatever it was, Shangguan Ziyuan blushed, her hat twitching, like her fox ears perking up in excitement.

A thing?

What thing?

Although Gong Yiling heard the whisper, she was confused.

After a moment of consideration, Shangguan Ziyuan nodded. “Mmm…”

“So, what do you…”

The three girls said in unison, “We want to sleep with Master (Big Sister)!”

Gong Yiling: “…Huh?”

Their words attracted the attention of the other diners.

—What a scandalous statement! And their master must be a heartless womanizer!

Then they saw Gong Yiling.

A woman, the Immortal Master.

Their initial judgment shifted from disapproval to *I wouldn’t mind either*.

“Sleep?”

Gong Yiling’s eye twitched.

Qiu Shui explained, “Mondays and Tuesdays, Master’s nights are mine.”

Chun Lian continued, “Wednesdays and Thursdays, Young Palace Master’s nights are mine.”

Shangguan Ziyuan added, “And Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, Big Sister’s nights are mine.”

Miss Gong was utterly speechless.

“Wait… how did you decide this? Isn’t there a third option?”

“Yes!” The three said in unison. “Tonight, all three of us together.”

66. Double Six, Great Success! (Not Really)

Inside the teahouse, after the waiter served them tea, he reluctantly left the room.

The scene outside made Gong Yiling’s hair stand on end—she had underestimated Shangguan Lingyue’s popularity.

The moment the general stepped onto the street, she attracted a massive crowd of admirers.

Admiration and adoration transcended gender. The ones screaming and covering their faces were mostly women—*So many fellow lesbians!*

And they weren’t just screaming. Many enthusiastic fans even chased them to the teahouse, filling the entire corridor.

Fortunately, the windows were traditional paper screens. If they were floor-to-ceiling glass windows… the entire surface would be covered in faces.

That image… was too disturbing.

“Please excuse them,”

Shangguan Lingyue flipped her hair and said with a smile, “I’m not even wearing my military uniform today, and yet they still recognized me.”

“As a national idol, they would recognize you even if you were turned to ashes.”

“Huh?”

“Ah, I mean, don’t underestimate the power of fans.” Gong Yiling coughed lightly. “But there are probably hundreds of ears pressed against the wall. Shouldn’t you do something?”

“You’re right.”

Shangguan Lingyue stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

“It’s General Lingyue!!!”

“General Lingyue is looking at me!”

Hearing the screams, Gong Yiling took a sip of tea, speechless.

Then, Shangguan Lingyue said,

“Don’t love me, it’s fruitless.”

“Pfft—!”

Gong Yiling spat out her tea.

Then, the general unleashed her battlefield aura, slammed the door shut, and returned to her seat gracefully. “That should do it.”

Wasn’t… wasn’t that a bit much?

Gong Yiling looked at the now empty window, rubbing her forehead.

Being a fan of this general, she didn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse for them.

“Your time is precious, so I’ll get straight to the point.”

Shangguan Lingyue said, “I’m here to ask about the circumstances of Little Five’s disappearance—”

“Sect Master Yan should have told you. It’s the same as what he said. I don’t want to repeat it.”

“Then the second matter.” Shangguan Lingyue continued, “I heard you had a conversation with Little Five?”

This interrogation-like tone made Gong Yiling uncomfortable.

She was just a college student, not the real Gong Yiling. Fortunately, the questions… weren’t hitting any sensitive points.

“You want to know?”

“Yes.”

“I have a way to save your Grand Elder. That’s all I told her.”

Shangguan Lingyue’s eyes widened.

“What did you say!?”

She hadn’t expected to hear this here.

She had only heard her brother mention the Grand Elder’s hidden injuries in passing.

This was a highly classified secret, concerning the fate of the nation. And yet, this woman knew about it…

“General, you don’t like getting involved in political struggles. Naturally, this matter shouldn’t concern you.” Gong Yiling, finding an opportunity to counterattack, went on the offensive.

“If I said I suspect the First Prince is involved, and not the demonic sects, what would you think?”

“I’m here on my brother’s orders.” Shangguan Lingyue said calmly, “If Qingyun is truly involved, I won’t protect him.”

“But I need proof.”

“I only suspect the First Prince. I have no concrete evidence.” Gong Yiling shrugged. “And I don’t care whether your Fifth Princess lives or dies.”

“However, if she’s truly dead, then the task of healing your Grand Elder falls upon me. I was hoping to stay out of this.”

As she spoke, Miss Gong admired her own improving lying skills, anticipating the general’s response.

She shouldn’t refuse.

“Little Five has been searching for a reclusive divine physician to treat this injury.” Shangguan Lingyue scrutinized the woman before her.

From the first glance, she sensed something profound about her.

Being a straightforward person, she voiced her observation directly, “Since our conversation began, I’ve probed you six times, and you haven’t reacted at all.”

Gong Yiling: “…”

*Sip tea, sip tea. This has nothing to do with me.*

It felt like playing a murder mystery game as the killer and listening to the others’ clumsy deductions. Quite enjoyable.

“You can maintain your aura at Core Formation and remain completely unfazed. Such masterful disguise suggests you are at least at the Earthly Nether realm, if not higher.”

In a sense, she was almost at the Earthly Nether realm.

If it weren’t for that damned Heavenly Saint Technique and its strange reaction with her body.

“And you wouldn’t save a stranger for no reason. Plus, your self-proclaimed identity, and the rumors about you being from the Great One Engineering Sect…”

Based on all this, Shangguan Lingyue reached a conclusion.

She picked up the incense pipe on the table and pointed it at Gong Yiling. “You must be the Sect Master of the Great One Engineering Sect, an old acquaintance of the Grand Elder, am I right!?”

Gong Yiling: “Pfft—”

She spat out her tea onto Shangguan Lingyue’s face.

Damn it!

Although the general was just guessing, and her reasoning had nothing to do with whether or not she was the Sect Master…

She was actually right.

She really was the Sect Master of the Great One Engineering Sect, officially appointed by the Nine-Colored Deer.

“Your reaction… was I right or wrong?” Shangguan Lingyue, wiping her face, asked, “Could it be you’re not the Sect Master, but the Vice Sect Master?”

Well, Vice Sect Master was also correct.

The entire Great One Engineering Sect currently consisted of only her. She could be whatever she wanted, even the janitor.

“My identity is not important.” Gong Yiling wiped her mouth. “I’ve only heard of your Grand Elder. Whether I help him or not depends on my mood.”

“But this opportunity won’t come again. What do you think, General?”

Shangguan Lingyue thought for a moment, then nodded. “If it’s you, I believe you.”

 

 

 

65. Shangguan Lingyue 

The little black fox nodded obediently, then closed her eyes, seemingly replaying the scene in her mind.

Gong Yiling knew she might be expecting too much.

Spiritual and martial techniques weren’t like inner cultivation methods. You couldn’t just use them after hearing the chants once.

She could use demonic techniques easily because of her cultivation base.

But Shangguan Ziyuan couldn’t learn any inner cultivation techniques, so she could only try building a house in mid-air, so to speak.

For her to learn instantly would be even more absurd than those geniuses on TV.

But… Gong Yiling had a feeling.

Such a special talent must have its uses.

After a while, the little black fox opened her eyes, a confident glint in them.

“Hunyuan Demonic Art, Demonic Gloom!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crescent moon, which had just emerged from Gong Yiling’s created darkness, was plunged into an even deeper darkness.

This darkness didn’t just cover the sky; it spread across the city.

Before Gong Yiling could react, the girl’s technique had enveloped the entire city.

Everything was shrouded in darkness, completely invisible.

“Oh no…”

Gong Yiling was about to stop her, but the little fox suddenly tilted her head and collapsed into her arms.

“Huff… huff… huff…”

She… fell asleep?

Or perhaps… exhausted her power?

Shangguan Ziyuan’s hair gradually returned to its normal color, but she still clung to Gong Yiling like an octopus, muttering incoherently.

“This girl…”

Gong Yiling chuckled and rubbed her head, especially her pointy ears. The fluffy feel was addictive.

“I’ll have to warn her next time. She can’t just do this.”

Holding the sleeping Shangguan Ziyuan, she watched as the city gradually brightened, the moonlight returning. She took out another grilled skewer.

“System, do you sell cola?”

“No, get lost.”

…

…

Several peaceful days passed.

During this time, Gong Yiling fully absorbed the energy she had gained.

“Hoo—”

After several cycles of cultivation, she exhaled deeply and stopped circulating her techniques.

Cultivating with dual spiritual apertures wasn’t easy.

Especially since her two cultivation techniques were completely opposing.

This meant she had to divide her limited spiritual energy to fill two enormous holes.

Fortunately, the treasures left by the Cloud Rainbow Sect were meant for its revival, so the amount of spirit stones was more than enough for a hundred people.

Besides the two hundred taken by Elder Yan, she had absorbed thirty percent of the remaining spirit stones.

So, after refining this spiritual energy, Miss Gong smoothly broke through.

Her righteous cultivation finally reached Core Formation, and her demonic cultivation reached Core Transformation.

As for her actual combat power, to avoid another mountain-blasting incident, she had to suppress it, waiting for an opportunity to test it outside.

Thinking this, she jumped out of bed, put on her veil, and headed towards the girls’ room.

But just as she reached the door, she heard what sounded like an argument.

Chun Lian: “Then Chun Lian thinks we should make a schedule.”

Qiu Shui: “What do you suggest?”

Chun Lian: “Young Palace… Master belongs to Sister Qiu Shui from eight in the morning to noon, then Little Heehee from one to five, and then me from seven to eleven.”

Little Heehee?

Gong Yiling knew Chun Lian was referring to Shangguan Ziyuan, but she was speechless at her naming sense.

Besides… were these three girls dividing her up? And listening to their conversation, she felt like some kind of time-management master.

Shangguan Ziyuan hesitantly protested, “But Big Sister said she would teach me demonic arts at night, so it wouldn’t attract attention…”

Chun Lian: “Hmm… but if you fall asleep while practicing, Little Heehee can sleep with Master at night!”

Shangguan Ziyuan: “Eh… we’ve already slept together a few times. Big Sister falls asleep easily. She doesn’t last long.”

Qiu Shui: “Last long?”

Chun Lian: “Last long?”

Gong Yiling: “Last long?”

This was outrageous!

She had never been called “doesn’t last long” in her life.

Although she had never had the chance to be called that before, and even less so now.

But still, being accused of not lasting long… in any context, was unacceptable!

Just then, an elegantly dressed woman, similar in style to Shangguan Ziyuan but older, appeared in her sight.

The woman looked at her, frowned slightly, and approached.

“Are you… the Immortal Master from the Great One Engineering Sect?”

“Who are you from the Shangguan family?”

“Shangguan Lingyue.” She performed a simple curtsy, her posture respectful but her aura strong. “May I have a word with you?”

Shangguan Lingyue…

Hearing this name, Gong Yiling paused.

She had expected the Shangguan family to send someone of high status to inquire about the incident, but she hadn’t expected… this person.

This red-haired woman wasn’t a princess. She was the only woman in the Heartflame Empire to be granted the title of Royal Vassal for her outstanding military achievements. One of the Twin Pillars of the empire, known as the Crimson Flame War God, Shangguan Lingyue.

This person was truly neutral. In the novel, she didn’t care who won the power struggle between the First Prince and the Fifth Princess and wouldn’t help either side.

She saw the throne as a blood-soaked object, believing anyone vying for it would inevitably commit atrocities. Disliking such internal conflicts, she chose to become a general, fighting on the battlefield instead.

In the novel, she ultimately died at the hands of Gong Yiling.

Yes…

Herself.

So, was this a fateful encounter between enemies?

Chun Lian: “Chun Lian thinks Little Heehee shouldn’t be so greedy.”

Shangguan Ziyuan: “Am I being greedy?”

Qiu Shui, surprisingly, agreed. “Yes, very greedy.”

Hearing the girls’ chatter, Gong Yiling chuckled and took out a piece of talisman paper, writing, “I’m going out. You can handle lunch yourselves.” She stuck it to the door.

Then, she walked towards Shangguan Lingyue.

“Let’s go.”
