Taking a deep breath, Ruyi Pei forced back the urge to leave.
For some reason, Ye Luqing carried a strange charm today, as if she had changed entirely.
Just seeing her face was enough to unsettle Ruyi Pei’s resolute heart.
“Junior Sister Ye, I’ve come to keep our appointment,” Ruyi Pei said, feigning calm.
At her words, Ye Luqing raised an eyebrow.
Yesterday she was still called Senior Sister, and now, in a single day, she’d become Junior Sister?
As if sensing Ye Luqing’s question, Ruyi Pei explained, “I’ve been accepted as a Personal Disciple by the Fifth Elder of Heavenly Sword Peak. There’s no difference in status between us now…”
She had called Ye Luqing “Senior Sister Ye” before partly because she wasn’t sure if Ye Luqing’s cultivation had fallen below hers, and partly because of Ye Luqing’s identity as a Personal Disciple.
Ye Luqing curled her lips, annoyed by the constant changes.
But Junior Sister she would be, then. After all, Xiao Qingxuan also called her Junior Sister. Might as well get familiar in advance.
“Looks like I have to break through the Nascent Soul Realm quickly. I still prefer hearing you call me Senior Sister,” Ye Luqing said with a playful smile as she looked at Ruyi Pei.
“You won’t get that chance…”
Ruyi Pei murmured, lowering her head.
“What did you say?”
Ye Luqing narrowed her eyes slightly, a teasing smile curling at the corner of her mouth as she bent down and raised her head to scrutinize Ruyi Pei, who was a head taller.
“N-nothing…”
Ruyi Pei lightly turned her head away, her brows furrowed as if deliberately avoiding Ye Luqing’s gaze.
For some reason, Ye Luqing seemed strange in her eyes today.
Usually, she would have retorted without hesitation, firmly telling Ye Luqing she wouldn’t allow her to surpass her.
But today, though Ye Luqing’s expression was mischievous, there was an undeniable authority in her brow that bent Ruyi Pei’s once rigid sword heart, as if commanding complete control over her entire being.
“Heh…”
Sensing Ruyi Pei’s unease, Ye Luqing’s lips curved into a victorious smile.
Though unclear about what exactly Ruyi Pei was thinking, it was likely the effect of the “Heartthrob” title activating.
In Ruyi Pei’s eyes, her appearance and aura had somehow adapted into the other’s ideal type.
In that case, Ye Luqing would make her play the role of Xiao Qingxuan properly, repaying the debt of the Xuanhuang Pills she used up yesterday.
Six Desires Marionette Array, activate!
Using the Emotion Branch as the array device, Ye Luqing covertly triggered the Six Desires Marionette Array she had just learned.
When waiting for Ying Qianqian to comprehend the array, she had already constructed the array’s pattern circuits.
Now, inscribing the array patterns into the Emotion Branch allowed her to manipulate the array and subtly toy with Ruyi Pei’s already shaken mind.
With such a perfect opportunity, she planned to test the combined effect of the “Heartthrob” title and the Six Desires Marionette Array.
In the next moment, she reached out to lightly tap Ruyi Pei’s back, then slowly traced down her waist before finally pressing on the well-toned abdomen.
“Mm…”
The sensation of pleasure seemed infinitely magnified.
Ruyi Pei instinctively let out a coquettish, soft moan, her body trembling uncontrollably.
A Sword Cultivator’s body, honed by countless sword swings every day, seemed to have its weak spot instantly found by Ye Luqing.
How could this be…
Ruyi Pei breathed in shallow gasps, her cold face slowly flushed with two rosy clouds.
Only a day had passed—what on earth had happened to Ye Luqing?
She glanced back.
Lost in her wandering thoughts, Ye Luqing had already reached the gate of the courtyard, smiling as she sized Ruyi Pei up.
Though her gaze held no malice, Ruyi Pei felt as if her entire body had been seen through, leaving no secrets before Ye Luqing.
“What are you standing there for? Come over quickly.”
“My exclusive… s-t-o-o-l, Senior Sister.”
Ye Luqing was in a good mood and was quite satisfied with Ruyi Pei’s reaction.
If the “Heartthrob” title turned Ruyi Pei’s iron will into hardwood, then the Six Desires Marionette Array softened that hardwood into easily manipulable rope.
She was already looking forward to seeing what effect it would have on Xiao Qingxuan.
“Guh!”
Hearing such an insulting nickname and seeing Ye Luqing’s teasing smile, Ruyi Pei felt a tightness in her chest and instinctively clamped her legs shut.
Though she should have felt anger, her lower abdomen trembled slightly, restless.
She lowered her head deeply, her throat moving reflexively as she let out a faint, weak murmur—subtly signaling her unconscious acceptance and submission.
“Understood…”
***
Looking at Ruyi Pei dressed in Xiao Qingxuan’s clothes, Ye Luqing clicked her tongue in amazement.
This outfit was purchased from the Blackening Value Shop for thirty points, and came with the matching body fragrance of Xiao Qingxuan.
She felt like the system was some kind of perverted devil, stealing from Xiao Qingxuan herself without anyone knowing.
Ruyi Pei sat on the chair, hands nervously folded in front of her, movements somewhat restrained and uneasy.
Wearing Senior Sister Xiao’s clothes, smelling her scent, it was as if she were being embraced by Xiao Qingxuan herself.
Though it should have been a comfortable experience, why did it feel like a strange sense of guilt in front of Ye Luqing?
“Why do you want me to wear Senior Sister Xiao’s clothes?”
“What exactly do you want me to do…”
Ye Luqing approached Ruyi Pei with a smile, her fingers hooking under the delicate chin.
“If you want excitement, then you have to see it through.”
Saying so, she increased the power of the Six Desires Marionette Array, compelling Ruyi Pei into greater obedience.
“Come, look at me.”
Unable to resist Ye Luqing’s command, Ruyi Pei lifted her gaze to meet those amber eyes blankly.
“Let me see the limits of the Six Desires Marionette Array on a Nascent Soul cultivator…”
Ye Luqing planned in her heart, then injected more True Qi and spiritual energy into the array patterns inside the Emotion Branch.
“Mm…”
Ruyi Pei sensed Ye Luqing’s golden eyes shining intensely, and a strange floral fragrance flooded her nostrils.
Her mind instantly became dazed, as if something had turned it to mush.
“Guh oh…”
Even the most basic seven emotions and six desires became uncontrollable.
The harder she struggled to maintain her cold and aloof demeanor, the more her expression betrayed her.
Watching Ruyi Pei’s face contorted with lust, Ye Luqing nodded in satisfaction.
“Good Junior Sister, call me Senior Sister.”
“Senior Sister Ye…”
Feeling Ruyi Pei’s utmost submission, Ye Luqing grew bolder.
“Stick out your tongue.”
“Guu…”
Ruyi Pei’s cherry lips parted slightly, obediently extending her soft little tongue.
If outsiders saw this secret side of a normally aloof and lofty True Disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak, who knew how many Sword Cultivator disciples would have their illusions shattered.
“They say Sword Cultivators have unyielding sword bones, but why does Junior Sister Pei here have a body full of charm bones?”
Seeing Ruyi Pei panting like a little puppy, Ye Luqing couldn’t help but tease.
“Ha—ha—”
Because the previous command wasn’t over yet, Ruyi Pei still held out her tongue, unable to speak a full sentence.
Now, seated and leaning forward, legs trembling slightly, the pure white robe damp with fragrant sweat shimmered softly.
This cold and elegant fairy of Heavenly Sword Peak, with her once-clear blue eyes, now gazed with sultry, confused, and ambiguous emotions.
“Reached the limit,” Ye Luqing thought.
Continuing to toy with Ruyi Pei’s emotions with the Six Desires Marionette Array could cause a collapse of reason, and that would be troublesome.
She cut off the supply of True Qi, and the array slowly ceased.
“If only Xiao Qingxuan could be adjusted like this…” she sighed inwardly.
