Seeing him trying hard not to laugh, Jinyue bit his neck again. But despite their playful bickering, she didn’t really bite him hard, just left a row of round little teeth marks on his shoulder.
She clung to him, playfully biting his shoulder as they tumbled around in the forest depths.
After a while, Jinyue wiped her lips and looked up at the boy whose neck she was holding,
“Tell me, why aren’t you afraid of me at all?” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
She put away her playful demeanor and asked seriously. At the same time, she pressed the dagger against Yino’s chin again to remind him that this weapon could take his life at any moment.
“If you really wanted to kill me out of anger, what good would fear do?” Yino replied nonchalantly.
Seeing cultivators searching nearby, Yino carried the foxgirl on his back and hid in the roadside bushes. As several torch-bearing cultivators passed by, Jinyue skillfully used an illusion to conceal their presence.
For several minutes, they lay close together in silence among the grass, their bodies pressed tightly in the confined space.
Finally, when the footsteps faded away, Jinyue exhaled in relief, her cheeks flushed from tension.
“So, did you recognize me from the start?” She withdrew her dagger and flipped over to straddle Yino.
Lying in the grass pile beneath her enchanting gaze, he nodded silently.
“Tell me who I am.”
“The Western Region… Witch Tea Party…” Recalling the original plotline calmly, Yino answered without hesitation.
Jinyue’s enchanting eyes flickered with an unusual look. She bit her lip lightly and watched him intently: “So which witch do you think I am?”
“The Pleasure Demon,” Yino replied without thinking.
“…”
Jinyue was momentarily stunned by his words. A bead of sweat slipped down her cheek unnoticed before she smiled triumphantly and pinched his cheek,
“You’re so clever! You even know that?”
“Isn’t it obvious…”
Yino frowned slightly at her childlike tone. But Jinyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief while playfully pinching his cheek even harder:
“So you figured out I was the Pleasure Demon that night at Grand Tutor’s Mansion? Is that why you’ve held a grudge ever since arriving at Wuji Sect?”
“Yes.”
As more and more past mysteries were unraveled, Yino resigned himself to his fate, lying beneath the foxgirl and nodding repeatedly. In the following conversation, Jinyue practically recounted all the stories they had experienced together. By the end, Jinyue couldn’t help but look at the young man beneath her with newfound respect.
She thought she had underestimated him, but she realized she had underestimated him even more than she imagined! This was truly entertaining! The fun Yino brought alone far surpassed countless Chen Jianxins. Jinyue wasn’t disappointed at all; in fact, she was getting more and more excited! After all, although her plan to disrupt the organization’s mission failed, she never expected Yino to be the dark horse who killed Chen Jianxin! Tonight’s twists and turns made it the most thrilling episode in Jinyue’s years of watching drama unfold!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yino seized the moment and suddenly asked, “What about you? Why are you here?”
“Me?” Jinyue’s charming eyes widened slightly. She thought of the mission given by Tiansi Master and the organization’s prophecy, then smiled mysteriously. “You know Chen Jianxin is the prophesied child, don’t you understand why I’m here?”
“Are you also here to kill Chen Jianxin?” Yino recalled the plot and asked tentatively. But his words only made Jinyue laugh.
“It seems you know quite a lot. Do you know who instructed me to kill Chen Jianxin?”
“Testing me again?” Yino couldn’t help but feel annoyed by her seemingly sweet yet cunning smile. She was always like this—mysterious and unpredictable—just like in the game, a character he could never fully understand.
He only knew that Jinyue was a somewhat schizophrenic antagonist. Early on, she tried every means to lead the protagonist to be killed by Gu Wanglan, but mid-story, she sometimes saved him at critical moments. Yet later, she revealed her identity as a demoness and imprisoned him…
Jinyue’s behavior seemed only related to some “prophecy” and “organization.” But an even bigger problem arose: before “Fallen Immortal” version 4.0 was updated in his previous life, Yino had already died in front of his screen and been reborn. How was he supposed to know all these chaotic secrets of the original world?
“So what if I’m testing you?” At some point, Jinyue snorted coldly, crossing her arms confidently. “Tonight you got caught doing bad things by me! I have your weakness in my hands!”
“If my
Benefactor
doesn’t want missy Yuyan to receive an anonymous letter tomorrow, you’d better confess everything you know now.” As she spoke, her smile revealed small tiger teeth, fitting her sly fox demon image perfectly.
Every time Yino saw that smug expression of hers, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, wanting to teach her a lesson and tie her up for a good scolding!
“Haha.” “Are you angry? Already regretting it?” Jinyue’s smile grew even more triumphant as she almost lay on Yino’s chest, wagging her tail behind her while teasingly poking his nose with her finger.
Yino took a deep breath, feeling tormented by her antics. “If you write to Yuyan, I’ll ensure that every elder of the major sects and even the immortal ministers of the Great Dragon Dynasty receive a list of charges against the Pleasure Demon.”
“–?” Instantly, Jinyue’s teasing smile froze. She narrowed her charming eyes and leaned down to stare at Yino’s face, almost close enough to kiss him.
After a long gaze, Jinyue snorted coldly and straightened up, pretending not to care. “Bluffing. At most, you can make it hard for me in Wuji Sect. Do you really think you know my past identities elsewhere?”
“Why wouldn’t I know?” She acted indifferent; Yino shrugged indifferently too.
Jinyue pouted angrily. “Then say one.”
“Jianlan Sect— the saintess with ruined cultivation…”
Before Yino could finish speaking, Jinyue quickly covered his mouth. Her once proud eyes now showed shock deep within their blood-red pupils.
Jinyue attempted to use illusions to probe Yino’s memory but soon felt a sharp pain and closed her eyes with a groan of discomfort.
Beneath her, Yino remained unfazed as he stared at her. “See? You’re getting anxious again.”
He smiled with satisfaction as golden holy marks on his hand glowed subtly as if he had been prepared all along. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel
Jinyue’s eyes hurt terribly; she couldn’t respond to Yino at all. But soon enough, Yino used his right hand’s natural power to relieve her eye strain.
“I saved your life again; now you owe me two~”
“Why ‘again’?” Jinyue blinked; though a bit aggrieved by being teased, her charming fox-like eyes still pouted defiantly.
Yino shrugged again and revealed a dagger hidden under his left sleeve: “If I had taken advantage just now, you’d probably be down already.”
“With just a dagger? You think I’m that weak”
Jinyue crossed her arms defiantly but stopped mid-sentence when she noticed strange purple liquid on Yino’s dagger.
“You! You even used poison? I didn’t plan on poisoning you!”
For a moment there again Jinyue renewed understanding of villains through him—she felt too kind-hearted compared if it were him lying unconscious long ago already!
“What kind of poison do you think this is?”
“I don’t know; it looks weird… Keep that thing away from me! What if it accidentally gets on me?!”
As Yino teased her while bringing the dagger closer to her face, scaring Jinyue so much that her face turned pale. Her body kept retreating, and even the three fox tails behind her fluffed up in fright. Seeing the foxgirl finally recite something, Yino sneered and put away his dagger. “This is a mental liquid that stimulates your nerves and expands your spiritual veins,” he said casually. His gaze drifted from Jinyue’s face to her delicate feet under the red dress. “But you should know what it feels like; you experienced it externally at the Mountain God Temple.”
“Yino! So that night you did put something weird on my feet! No wonder they felt itchy and sensitive after you played with them!” Jinyue looked at him like he was a big pervert, hurriedly getting up from his lap, her peach blossom eyes showing both resentment and resistance. Before she could react, Yino suddenly grabbed her leg and threw her into the grass with a thud.
….
“What a strange thing!”
“Sister Yuyan said Gu Wanglan defected, but now the back mountain is sealed off, and we haven’t found Gu Wanglan!”
“I heard from some cultivators searching the east that Gu Wanglan’s tracks led to a cliff over there!”
“Did he jump off the cliff? No wonder we can’t find him!”
“Forget it, let’s not worry about that! Senior Sister also mentioned that her junior brother is searching the mountain with us. Has anyone seen a young disciple?”
“No? In this deep forest, there are no young disciples. The sect didn’t allow ordinary disciples to come; only high-level cultivators qualified to join the Pavilion are here!”
As a few cultivators chatted while passing by the grass again, Yino finally released the struggling foxgirl’s mouth.
