After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 26

Song Linlin felt this idea of hers was indeed a bit perverted, but after being bitten a few times, her fear of the act had long vanished. Furthermore, this bite was very light, and upon closer inspection, she realized it actually felt quite good.

As long as not too much spiritual power was drained, she wouldn’t feel overly drained. Song Linlin only felt her consciousness was slightly fatigued now.

This wasn’t a serious problem. She had been unable to sleep, but unexpectedly, a “bite” before bed had this effect.

Thinking this, Song Linlin had even less thought of resisting. She just lay there quietly, letting the other person bite her, and was even enjoying it somewhat.

Chi Qianning did not bite for too long. After a short while, she released her teeth. She looked at Song Linlin’s slightly flushed face, lightly catching her own breath, and traced the broken skin with her finger, which brought a sensation of itchiness and pain.

“Mm…”

Song Linlin couldn’t help but let out a soft moan. When the other party’s finger was removed, the bitten wound had completely healed, leaving no trace. Only the skin, flushed pink from the kissing, and the residual moisture could prove what had just happened.

“Don’t bite me,” Chi Qianning moved her gaze away from the other person’s neck and met Song Linlin’s eyes, speaking slowly.

Song Linlin moved her sight away guiltily. The slight stinging sensation of being bitten seemed to linger on her neck. She couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t bite the other person in the future, so she just vaguely replied, “I got it.”

Feeling the atmosphere had subtly changed, Song Linlin shrank her neck and buried her head into the quilt. Her voice, muffled by the blanket, came out: “I’m tired, I need to sleep now.”

Seeing that the other party had outwardly agreed, Chi Qianning didn’t press the matter further. The two of them lay quietly on the bed. Song Linlin, with her spiritual power drained, felt a deeper exhaustion and fell asleep shortly after.

She was woken up, and it was already noon. Song Linlin didn’t know how long she had slept. It was Zhiyu who had come to knock on the door, asking her to get up for lunch.

Song Linlin groggily opened her eyes. She was now a Golden Core cultivator and could go for long periods without sleep or eating mortal food, but Song Linlin clearly had no intention of giving these up.

She yawned. Chi Qianning, who was beside her, also slowly opened her eyes. Song Linlin sat up, her hair messy. She said to the person still lying beside her, “I’m going to eat.”

“Mm.”

Chi Qianning had never had much desire for human food. For so many days, she hadn’t touched anything except for a few lotus seeds Song Linlin had personally peeled for her.

Song Linlin got out of bed. She first brushed her slightly knotted hair. Looking at Chi Qianning on the bed, she was curious. Why didn’t the other woman’s hair ever get tangled, even though it was much longer than hers?

Before leaving the room, Song Linlin did not forget to say, “I’ll be back after I eat. We should be packing up and leaving here soon.”

Chi Qianning didn’t show much reaction, just nodding to indicate she understood.

Song Linlin went downstairs. Ye Tingran and Zhiyu were already waiting there. With a morning’s time to heal, Ye Tingran’s complexion looked much better than it had in the morning.

After Song Linlin had slipped upstairs, Ye Tingran had given Zhiyu a detailed account of their experience at the Falling Maple Temple. Knowing that Song Linlin had already reached the early stage of Golden Core and even killed Xing Jiu truly left her speechless with shock.

If she didn’t trust that Ye Tingran wasn’t the type to joke around, she would have suspected it was a fabricated story.

Upon seeing Song Linlin now, Zhiyu couldn’t help but say, “Junior Sister Song, you were truly hiding your skills. It was my oversight, I didn’t realize that among us, Junior Sister Song’s cultivation was the highest.”

Song Linlin gave an awkward smile. She was genuinely embarrassed by the comment, as ultimately, all this was Chi Qianning’s doing, though the others didn’t know it.

Sitting at the dining table, Song Linlin thought for a moment and spoke to the other two: “Senior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Zhiyu, about… the matter of me killing Xing Jiu, could you please keep it a secret? Just say that Senior Sister Ye defeated Xing Jiu, and I was only assisting?”

Song Linlin felt she needed to keep a low profile. After all, she had been truly weak before. Now, after one experience outside, she suddenly became powerful. Although Ye Tingran and Zhiyu believed her, it was only because of their close relationship that they didn’t overly question it.

If others were to find out, they would definitely be curious why Song Linlin advanced first, and if that were to arouse the suspicion of certain elders, things could get complicated.

Song Linlin couldn’t stand up to thorough scrutiny, and with the mindset of avoiding trouble, she really couldn’t take this credit.

Though Ye Tingran was a bit puzzled, she didn’t ask too many questions. She felt that since Song Linlin had chosen not to expose her strength before, there must have been a reason. Now that she had even defeated Xing Jiu, helping her with this small favor was no problem.

Nodding, Ye Tingran agreed, “Alright. It just means that when we return to the sect, most of the credit will fall to me. I’ll compensate you with something else later, Junior Sister Song.”

Song Linlin hadn’t expected the other party would even compensate her, which was a pleasant surprise. She exclaimed again, “Senior Sister Ye, you truly are a good person!”

Zhiyu naturally also agreed to keep Song Linlin’s secret. She hadn’t participated in the battle, and since Song Linlin, who contributed the most, actively requested not to mention her credit, Zhiyu certainly wouldn’t say anything.

After they finished their meal, Zhiyu proactively said, “Let’s all pack our luggage now. The others set off this morning, and we’ll leave shortly. If we hurry, we might catch up with the others.”

Song Linlin didn’t have much luggage. She had only brought one set of clothes and a small amount of pills when she came down the mountain. There was nothing much to pack. She left the room with Chi Qianning.

Closing the door, Song Linlin felt completely relaxed. The dreaded mission of going down the mountain was finally over. The rest of the storyline had nothing to do with her.

Song Linlin had already decided to actively avoid any potentially dangerous plotlines in the future. She just wanted to stay in the sect and live a quiet life.

“Let’s go, Junior Sister Song.”

Ye Tingran and Zhiyu were already waiting downstairs. They had called for a carriage. Of course, they wouldn’t ride a carriage all the way back; that would take half a month.

They needed to first travel to a nearby major city, which housed a teleportation formation that directly connected to Yunxin City at the foot of the Xuan Yun Sect mountain.

They had used this route when they came down the mountain, skipping other journey segments, which was considered a form of protection for the novice disciples by the sect.

The first experience outside for inner sect disciples naturally required some protection. For instance, the locations chosen were all not far from the sect and were surrounded by the sect’s main strongholds.

Furthermore, the teleportation array was free of charge. Using it was usually very expensive. Besides the novices on their first trip, others would have to find their own way to other places.

The carriage they took wasn’t pulled by ordinary horses; it was a low-level, easily tamed spirit beast that ran several times faster than ordinary horses. The three of them sat comfortably inside the carriage without feeling crowded.

“We should reach Shizhou City around evening. The teleportation formation only opens once daily in the late evening. If we hurry, we might make it for today’s opening time, and we can meet up with the others then.”

Song Linlin nodded. Ever since resolving the matter with Xing Jiu, she had been completely relaxed. There were no dangerous plotlines awaiting her for now, so she didn’t care much about how they got back to the sect.

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Song Linlin still couldn’t help but find this method of transportation miraculous. Before she could observe closely, the formation lit up again and sent a group of people to another city.

Yunxin City was a famous place. Song Linlin followed the others, walking on the bustling main street. Although it was already dark, it didn’t affect the constant flow of people on the streets.

“Come on, Junior Sister Song.” Zhiyu looked back at the lagging Song Linlin and reminded her.

Song Linlin quickly snapped out of her daze and hurried to catch up with the group, walking at the back of the small team. Chi Qianning strolled leisurely beside Song Linlin, invisible to everyone else anyway.

“Shall we go out and have fun another day when we come down the mountain?” Song Linlin whispered to Chi Qianning.

She had previously lived in a small area. After being brought to the Xuan Yun Sect, she basically spent every day cultivating on the mountain. She hadn’t realized that at the foot of the mountain was such a prosperous city.

This place was very different from modern cities. Along the way, she saw all sorts of strange things. Song Linlin hadn’t seen a scene like this before and was very curious.

Chi Qianning didn’t mind where they went. Although she wasn’t particularly interested, she lightly nodded, “Alright.”

Receiving the other person’s affirmative answer, Song Linlin’s mood brightened considerably. They finally returned to the sect late at night.

Song Linlin had been a little nervous when they first walked up the mountain. The endless white jade steps were rumored to be able to detect demonic energy and all sorts of evil things. However, Chi Qianning walked up without any incident, which finally made Song Linlin relax.

The Xuan Yun Sect was vast. The outer sect alone covered a large area of mountains, and the inner sect was several times larger than the outer. It was divided into four distinct regions by four main mountains, and reaching the inner sect required the use of short-distance teleportation arrays for quick access.

Finally back in a familiar place, everyone said their goodbyes. Ye Tingran, as the team leader, needed to report the details of this experience.

Song Linlin took Chi Qianning back to her residence. The living conditions for inner sect disciples were quite good. They didn’t have two or three people sharing a room like in the outer sect; inner sect disciples had their own independent residence.

Song Linlin lived in a very secluded and quiet place. This wasn’t because she preferred quietness; it was simply because she didn’t have much choice. The places with ample spiritual energy were naturally given to the disciples with great talent or powerful strength.

Her performance in the inner sect was considered among the worst, so she was assigned to this location. However, Song Linlin was quite satisfied with the place. Being secluded meant that almost no one would come over, and no one would notice her.

Pushing open the front door, the items inside were still arranged as they were when she left. After being away for several days, some areas had a thin layer of dust.

Song Linlin turned to look at Chi Qianning and said somewhat awkwardly, “How about I clean up before you come in?”

If she were living alone, she wouldn’t bother, as Song Linlin wasn’t a very fussy person. But now that Chi Qianning was also going to live here, seeing the cold, noble temperament emanating from her, Song Linlin felt like she was inconveniencing the other person.

“No need for such trouble.”

Chi Qianning casually cast a spell, and the room instantly became brand new, with not a trace of dust remaining. She walked in first and naturally opened the bedroom door.

Song Linlin quickly followed her. The bedroom layout was very simple, with no clutter. Song Linlin didn’t have many personal belongings.

The bed in the room wasn’t very large. Considering it was meant for one person, it certainly wasn’t as spacious as the ones in the inns outside.

“We’ll probably have to sleep close together. Do you mind?”

Song Linlin felt the question was unnecessary. The two of them had been able to hug while sleeping, so lying close now shouldn’t be an issue, but she still asked. Then she saw Chi Qianning shake her head.

“You want the inside?”

Song Linlin pulled back the quilt and turned to ask, as Chi Qianning had been sleeping curled up in the corner during their time at the inn.

“Mm.”

Chi Qianning lay down on the innermost side. Song Linlin lay down beside her. Lying together wasn’t too crowded, and there was no danger of rolling off the bed when turning over.

Looking closely at the beautiful side profile of the person next to her, Song Linlin wasn’t sleepy now. After all, she had slept all morning. Now that she was back at the sect and lying in the same bed as Chi Qianning, she felt a strange novelty. This place used to be hers alone; rarely did outsiders come, let alone having an extra person in the bed.

Song Linlin lay on her side, playing with a strand of the other person’s silvery-white long hair. She looked at her still-pale face and suddenly remembered that Chi Qianning’s condition had actually not been good and that she was staying by her side to recuperate.

Her displayed strength was so overwhelming to Song Linlin that she had almost forgotten the fact that she was in a weak period.

“Chi Qianning,” Song Linlin blinked, looking at her.

“Mm?” Chi Qianning turned her head.

Song Linlin released the silvery hair in her hand, met the pair of red eyes, and her thoughts drifted to future events. She asked absentmindedly, “How much longer until you recover? When you recover, will you leave?”

As soon as she spoke, the room fell silent. Realizing that the other party hadn’t answered for several seconds, Song Linlin finally came back to her senses. She looked at Chi Qianning in confusion.

She then noticed that the other party’s clear red eyes had deepened, filled with a deep, dark malevolence. Chi Qianning immediately flipped over and propped herself up above Song Linlin, fingers gripping her chin with considerable force, forcing Song Linlin to look up at her.

“What? Are you hoping for me to leave?” Her tone was far from friendly, biting and filled with unconcealed rage.

Song Linlin felt the force on her chin and looked at Chi Qianning in a daze. In the past few days, the other party had been very easy to get along with; it had been a long time since she had been this fierce.

This startled Song Linlin. She felt the other person’s full-body rage was about to materialize. She quickly and frantically explained, “No! I was just asking…”

Her explanation didn’t help and only seemed to provoke the other person more. Song Linlin watched as her pupils contracted, nearly becoming slits. Her heart became even more flustered, and she immediately continued to explain: “I don’t want you to leave. Don’t be angry!”

This did calm the other person’s anger a little, but only slightly. The fingers gripping her chin were still tight. Chi Qianning spoke word by word: “Don’t ask.”

Song Linlin immediately nodded quickly, blinking to show her sincerity. However, the next moment, the other party moved closer and bit down hard on her sensitive neck.

She was biting very hard, not only sucking forcefully but also lightly biting with her teeth. Since they weren’t sharp fangs, the skin wasn’t pierced.

“Ah…”

Song Linlin felt the other person kissing and biting as if venting her anger. Chi Qianning paid no attention to the force, nor whether the person beneath her was willing, acting with a sense of punishment.

Song Linlin didn’t dare to push her away, afraid she would get even angrier, so she could only endure it. Finally, the other party released her, looking at her, gasping for breath. Her pale lips were now somewhat red from the forceful sucking.

“It hurts…” Song Linlin looked at her, softly complaining.

Chi Qianning looked at her white neck, covered in teeth marks and hickeys. She reached out her thumb to wipe away a tear that was about to overflow, and said angrily yet helplessly, “I hope you suffer.”

After speaking, she released Song Linlin, turned her back, and lay down, clearly unwilling to talk to the other person anymore.

Song Linlin reached out and touched her neck, which was full of red marks. She didn’t bother to worry about the marks. She only had one thought in her mind.

It’s over. I shouldn’t have been so careless with my words.

What should I do now that Chi Qianning is angry?
