Chapter 32: Sneak Attack from Behind
Yan Zhen drifted off to sleep, entering a strange dream.
In the dream, he and Yi Xian’er were a couple, but he couldn’t resist Ji Ya’s allure, becoming a two-timing scumbag.
Yi Xian’er, to catch him in the act, hid under the bed, listening to their passionate moans, her hands clenching a handkerchief, tears streaming down her face.
Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She emerged, pointing at the adulterous couple on the bed.
“How could you do this?!”
However, they seemed oblivious to her presence, lost in their world of pleasure, their eyes only for each other.
“Little Brother Yan Zhen~”
“Sister Ji Ya!”
Mwah~
Yi Xian’er, consumed by rage, transformed, her hair turning white, her eyes turning purple, her body radiating a terrifying Yin energy.
She summoned a Yin energy cleaver, slashing at them.
“—Holy shit!”
He jolted awake, gasping for breath. He looked around, his heart pounding, realizing it was just a dream. He slowly calmed down.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just a bad dream.” He suddenly realized it wasn’t Ji Ya’s voice. He looked down, startled. “Xian’er, is that you?”
She was lying on her side, her head resting on her arm, wearing only her strapless dress, her shoulders bare, as if she hadn’t gotten out of bed yet.
“Disappointed it’s not Sister Ji Ya?”
“Just surprised. You weren’t here last night.”
Her eyes narrowed. “They replaced me with Aunt Mu and the others, didn’t they?”
He recalled the feeling of being… serviced by Aunt Mu, Jin Tong, and Yu Nu, his cheeks flushing.
“I couldn’t help it. You weren’t there.”
She grabbed his shoulders, pulling him back onto the bed, her body pressing against his, her eyes demanding an answer.
“So, tell me, which one was better? Who do you prefer?”
He knew the correct answer.
“You, of course, Xian’er.”
“Really?” She was skeptical. “Why?”
“We’re the same age, and we’re closer. It’s easier to… accept.” He felt incredibly awkward. “Aunt Mu is an elder. It just felt… strange.”
“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking…” She blushed, her voice lowering. “Which one made you feel… better?”
Seriously? Do we really have to discuss this in such detail? Must we both suffer this humiliation?
He couldn’t understand her, but her insistent gaze made it difficult to avoid the question.
“Is that even a question? They might have been more… numerous, but Jin Tong and Yu Nu are clueless, just licking everything with their tongues. And Aunt Mu’s movements were clumsy and hesitant. You, on the other hand…”
“—Stop!” She couldn’t take it anymore, quickly cutting him off. “You don’t have to say it. I understand.”
He sighed with relief.
“So, tonight…”
“If I’m free.”
They had actually reached a new agreement: she would have him during the day, and Ji Ya would have him at night.
It seemed fair, but he spent most of his days cultivating, leaving little time for her. And at night, he had to treat Ji Ya, sleeping in her bed until morning.
But he had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, Ji Ya would have him bound and sent back to Green Water Town.
Green Water Town was a considerable distance from the Sunward Kingdom’s Royal Capital. Even at full speed, it would take half a day to travel there by Sky Skiff. If he was sent back, it would be difficult to return.
He hated to admit it, but Ji Ya had him under her thumb.
“Let’s get up.”
She climbed off him, heading behind the screen to change.
He quickly dressed, putting on one of the new outfits.
They had purchased almost everything they had chosen for him. He could wear a different outfit every day for a month without repeating.
…
After washing up, they went to the dining hall, finding a note on the table, informing them that breakfast was still warm in the kitchen.
They ate a simple meal.
“Are you continuing your movement technique training today, Yan Zhen?”
“Mmm, what about you?”
She blinked. “I’d like to watch you train. Is that okay?”
He chuckled wryly. “I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
“Why not?”
Because I can’t expose my cheat… I mean, I can’t reveal that my Beautiful Sect Master is inside the crystal space around my neck.
“Because the movement technique I’m learning is a secret of my sect.”
She rolled her eyes inwardly. It’s just Starry Sky Dance. Who doesn’t know that?
“Then I’ll cultivate too.”
…
After breakfast, she returned to her room, while he went back to Ji Ya’s bedroom, activating his Star Shifting Fire Seal and entering the crystal space.
Above the altar, the Celestial Cycle Star Array continued its slow revolution, its glowing primary stars, dim secondary stars, and occasional meteors creating a mesmerizing spectacle, like a miniature galaxy.
He greeted his Beautiful Sect Master, consumed the pseudo-pill she offered, then was thrown into the array, beginning his daily training.
The system’s “skip” function activated smoothly, and the day’s training was over.
He gained experience, felt a wave of fatigue, listened to her summary, then left the crystal space, returning to Ji Ya’s bedroom.
Another day had passed.
…
Covered in sweat, he entered the bathroom, finding Yi Xian’er, as usual, already there.
He hesitated, about to turn back, when a splash of water hit him, soaking him.
He saw her, submerged in the bath, giggling, her eyes mischievous, as if saying, Catch me if you can~
He decided to ignore her, turning to leave, but another splash hit his back, soaking him even more.
He gritted his teeth, trying to be patient. He took a step, and another splash hit him.
— Alright, that’s it! I can’t take it anymore!
He quickly stripped, jumping into the bath, ready to teach her a lesson!
She quickly submerged, concealing her aura.
The water’s surface was covered in rose petals, making it impossible to see where she was.
However, he easily located her with his Spiritual Perception. She had snuck behind him, her hand reaching up, grabbing his… dragon.
He realized he had fallen into her trap, a cold sweat breaking out.
“Xian’er, w-what are you doing?”
She didn’t answer, her head slowly emerging from the water, then stopping halfway.
He felt a sense of dread. Her position… was she planning a sneak attack from behind?
…
Fifteen minutes later.
He lay limply in her arms, his body tingling, his mind filled with images of snakes burrowing into holes.
“Xian’er, what was that? I have to treat Sister Ji Ya tonight!”
“Hmph, she’s practically cured anyway. Delaying the treatment a bit won’t hurt.”
