After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 21.1

“Then let’s start!”

Song Linlin said impatiently. Her continuously rising body temperature made her dare not delay any longer. She could feel a powerful force circulating within her body. Her original mana was no match for that power; it could only huddle in the corner of her Dantian, trembling.

“How do we do this? Do we need any preparations?”

Song Linlin pressed on, her almond-shaped eyes fixed intently on Chi Qianning, her black and blue pupils filled with anxiety and worry.

It was evident that she was truly afraid of death.

“No preparation is needed.”

Chi Qianning gazed deeply into her eyes for a few seconds before looking away. She confirmed that Song Linlin truly knew nothing about dual cultivation, nor did she understand its implications.

She reached out, hooked her index finger around the other person’s garment sash, and with a gentle pull, the restraint came undone. As the sash around her waist loosened, the outer layer of clothing naturally became loose and slack.

Song Linlin watched her actions. Although the outer clothes were loosened, there was still a thin inner garment underneath, so they would not be completely bare to each other.

“What is… this for?” Song Linlin asked, confused.

Chi Qianning looked up, meeting the bewildered eyes of the person before her, but her hands did not stop moving as she helped the other person take off the outer garment. “Do you usually wear this much clothing to sleep?”

“Well, alright.”

However, Song Linlin suddenly realized. Shouldn’t dual cultivation be about practice? How did it get linked to sleeping?

She was puzzled but did not ask out loud. After all, taking off one piece of clothing did not seem like a big deal, and she would soon find out what exactly dual cultivation cultivated.

Chi Qianning casually folded the outer garment a few times and tossed it to the foot of the bed. After finishing this, she looked at the clearly clueless Song Linlin, remained silent for two seconds, and then spoke, “Lie down.”

“?”

Song Linlin tilted her head, unsure if she had heard correctly, and looked at Chi Qianning with a confused gaze.

“You heard right. Lie down,” Chi Qianning repeated.

“Oh… okay then…”

Although the situation felt increasingly strange the more, she thought about it, Song Linlin still obediently lay down. The atmosphere in the room had become eerie, and she felt too awkward to ask why she needed to lie down.

Chi Qianning looked at Song Linlin lying flat on her back, her fingers nervously clutching the hem of her garment. After a thought, she asked, “Do you want a blanket?”

“Yes!”

Lying flat on the bed like this felt odd, and Song Linlin did not know where to put her hands or feet. Having a blanket to cover herself was naturally better than having none.

Chi Qianning pulled the quilt that was piled in the corner. Song Linlin quickly grabbed a corner, spread the blanket open, and covered herself completely.

She gripped the blanket with both hands, only revealing half of her head. Her eyes looked toward Chi Qianning, who was sitting beside her, and then she watched as the other person lifted the blanket and lay down a short distance away from her.

A space remained between the two of them. Song Linlin quietly turned her head to look at her, only to find that the other person was also looking at her.

“Song Linlin,” Chi Qianning turned to lie on her side, speaking softly to the person next to her. Her usual speech was cold and unemotional, but now, uncharacteristically, her tone was quite gentle.

“Hmm? What is it…”

Song Linlin, who had been about to look away due to embarrassment, could only continue staring when Chi Qianning called her name. Chi Qianning’s silver hair was tucked behind her ear, and due to her lying posture, a lot of hair was scattered across her chest. Her red eyes were not as icy as usual.

Chi Qianning continued in a soft voice, “Come a little closer… you are hot, aren’t you?”

Song Linlin, who was curled up in the blanket, was momentarily stunned, feeling as if she had misheard. She was indeed unbearably hot, her whole body was already scalding, and the temperature continued to rise.

Now, covered by a thick blanket, the burning sensation deepened. The air she breathed out onto the blanket was scorching, faintly carrying some moisture.

The person opposite her felt cool all over, and she was lying not far away, telling her to come closer.

Song Linlin instinctively chose to crawl over, moving closer to Chi Qianning and leaving her already warm quilt. As soon as she got close to her, she immediately felt much cooler.

The distance between the two was now very close, so close that Song Linlin could clearly see her own reflection in the other person’s eyes.

At the same time, Song Linlin could hear her own heart beating faster. In this quiet environment, she tried her best to take deep breaths to calm down, but Chi Qianning’s hearing was so good that she suspected the other person must have heard it too.

Chi Qianning certainly heard the unnatural heartbeat of the person before her. She spoke, encouraging her, “Good, a little closer… Come… embrace me…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a scalding hot body squeezed into her arms. The person embraced her waist, burying her head near her neck. Chi Qianning raised her head slightly, resting her chin on the other person’s crown, and raised her hand to place it on the other person’s shoulder, stroking her smooth black long hair.

Song Linlin was burning all over and hugged Chi Qianning tightly. The skin-to-skin contact, though through two thin layers of clothing, brought a feeling of coolness.

She was so hot that she could not bear it and just wanted to lower her temperature first, not caring whether hugging like this was inappropriate, especially since the other person had requested it.

The hot air from her breathing spread over the other person’s collarbone. Song Linlin’s hot face pressed against the other person’s skin to cool down, and she spoke with unstable breathing, “Is this also a requirement for dual cultivation?”

The other person chuckled softly. The laugh was quiet, and the sound resonated in her chest. It sounded muffled with her ear pressed against the chest, but her pleasant voice rang out above Song Linlin’s head, “Of course it is.”

Song Linlin slightly raised her head but could not see Chi Qianning’s face. She could only see the movement of her throat when she spoke. Song Linlin stared at the spot before her, feeling an inexplicable urge to bite it.

Perhaps it was because she had drunk the other person’s blood. Before, she had never been able to smell anything from Chi Qianning, but after drinking the other person’s essence blood today, she realized it was incredibly fragrant.

No wonder Chi Qianning liked to bite her before.

The knife wound had not healed and was still emitting an alluring, fatal fragrance, and it was very close to Song Linlin.

After the other person finished speaking, the fair neck before her stopped moving, and the throat slightly protruded. Song Linlin was enveloped in the fragrance and could not help but actively lean forward a bit, tilted her head, and opened her mouth to bite the most protruding part of the other person’s Adam’s apple.

Chi Qianning could not see her movements and naturally did not expect Song Linlin to be so bold as to bite her. The soft flesh was covered by lips, and teeth tried to clamp down on the slightly protruding cartilage, but the arc of the protrusion was not large, so she did not manage to bite down. The teeth only scraped across the skin, leaving only a trickle and a damp feeling.

After failing to bite, and since the other person had already noticed, Song Linlin did not dare to try a second time. She could only regretfully look at the skin that had been grazed by her teeth and was now slightly flushed.

“Don’t bite.”

Chi Qianning did not pursue the matter excessively. Recalling the way Song Linlin was when they first met, she had been so afraid of her, but now she dared to actively bite her. So, she opened her mouth and said, “You are getting bolder and bolder.”

“Oh…”

Song Linlin avoided looking at the spot she had just bitten, afraid she might not be able to resist another suicidal bite. She dared not guarantee that the other person, who tolerated her now, would not turn around and bite her back next time.

Thinking this, she rested her face back in the cool embrace, and her arm hugged the other person tighter, forcing herself not to look or think about those strange things.

Feeling the palm resting on her head move, the other person stroked her hair. Song Linlin heard her speak slowly, her tone ambiguous, “Song Linlin, how old are you?”

Hmm?

A question mark popped up above Song Linlin’s head, but this was not a particularly sensitive question. She did not think much of it and subconsciously answered, “Twenty-one, I think.”

However, the person opposite her only chuckled softly, and the stroking of her hair did not stop. “Nonsense.”

“A Foundation Establishment at twenty years old cannot become an inner disciple of the Xuan Yun Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Song Linlin realized the other person was asking for the specific age of this body. After two seconds of contemplation, she replied, “I just turned eighteen a few days ago.”

“Hmm, are you betrothed?” Chi Qianning continued to ask.

Song Linlin shook her head definitively, “No.”

She remembered this clearly. The original owner came from a very ordinary merchant family, and no one in the family could cultivate. Her being chosen by the Xuan Yun Sect to become an outer disciple at thirteen was considered an incredible stroke of luck. The sect gave the family a few benefits, and then Song Linlin was immediately packed and sent up to the mountain gate, severing ties with her original family ever since.

“Hmm.”

The other person seemed quite satisfied. Song Linlin felt that these census-like questions were strange. Although hugging Chi Qianning now was much cooler, her own body temperature remained scalding. Her meridians were filled with circulating power, not to mention her Dantian in her lower abdomen, which was the hottest spot on her entire body, radiating an undeniable heat.

Song Linlin could not help but grip Chi Qianning’s clothes tighter. The thin fabric was clenched in her palm. She lightly tugged and looked up, urging again, “Are we not starting the dual cultivation yet?”

“It starts now.”

Chi Qianning lowered her head, her red eyes looking at Song Linlin’s flushed face. The other person had shrunk into her arms, probably to make hugging easier, and their limbs were pressed tightly together. The scalding body temperature could be felt through the clothing.

“Move up a bit,” Chi Qianning said.

The current posture was not very convenient.

Song Linlin slightly loosened her tight embrace and moved up a little, so her head was level with the other person, and she did not need to raise her head to see the person beside her.

Now, the distance between them was too close. Song Linlin could even feel Chi Qianning’s shallow breathing. Upon closer inspection, the face before her undoubtedly made her feel bewildered.

Although Chi Qianning’s complexion was much better than her initial pale and weak look, it could still not be described as rosy. It was excessively fair, and her lips did not have much color. The most striking features were naturally the red eyes beneath the white eyelashes, and the silver-white long hair scattered around her face and chest. In the less-than-bright environment, she exuded an inexplicably fragile and broken feeling.

Staring blankly for several seconds, Song Linlin quietly swallowed. If she were not about to faint from the heat, it would be difficult not to think of strange things.

Chi Qianning leaned forward slightly, pressing her forehead against Song Linlin’s feverish forehead, and said faintly, “Close your eyes.”

“Okay.”

Song Linlin did not dare to look any longer. The distance, which was already quite close, had been narrowed even further. The other person’s breath was even directly spreading onto her face. She hastily closed her eyes in a panic.

All she could hear was the pounding of her own heart, quickened by nervousness, and her mind was filled with the image of the other person. Then, she felt Chi Qianning gently pat her back, and her voice sounded in front of her, “Relax, calm down.”

“Clear your mind, don’t be so tense, keep your spirit relaxed.”

Hearing the other person’s voice with her eyes closed, Song Linlin took a deep breath, trying to silently recite the incantations that had the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing the spirit. Her heartbeat slowly stabilized.

Her consciousness gradually emptied, and even her spirit began to feel light and floaty. She suddenly sensed another consciousness right beside her, very close, almost touchable if she just leaned a little sideways.

Chi Qianning’s voice continued, her tone unusually gentle, encouraging her, “Did you see it? Come on, move closer to me…”

Song Linlin’s spirit attempted to move closer to the side, and gradually, it touched the other consciousness. In the instant of contact, a peculiar sensation immediately spread through her.
