After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 4

So seductive…

Song Linlin’s mind felt almost dizzy from the suction. Looking at that face, she now felt nothing but a slight perverseness, and surprisingly, no anger towards the fact that she had been bitten.

It was almost like being bitten wasn’t a loss.

She looked at Chi Qianning with some awkwardness, reaching up to touch the wound on her neck that still faintly stung. She stammered and asked, “Why… why did you suddenly bite me?”

The moment she was bitten, it was like a venomous snake had bitten her lifeblood. The suffocating feeling made Song Linlin think the other party would sever her throat in the next second. Thinking back on it still sent a chill down her spine.

And human teeth clearly shouldn’t be able to pierce the skin so easily. Sure enough, as soon as Song Linlin was released, she noticed that Chi Qianning now had two sharp fangs.

This woman definitely isn’t human!

Could she really be a demoness? No wonder those two short-lived demonic cultivators called her a demoness…

A normal person wouldn’t have silver hair and crimson eyes, either.

Chi Qianning used her thumb to wipe away the trace of blood on her lips and didn’t immediately answer Song Linlin’s question. Instead, she stared at her for several seconds before speaking in an ambiguous tone, “You are scared.”

Of course, Song Linlin was scared. That woman’s gaze told her that she genuinely wanted to bite her to death!

It’s just that for some unknown reason, she chose to give up halfway, otherwise, she definitely would have had her blood sucked dry just now.

Seeing Song Linlin successfully intimidated and trembling, Chi Qianning was quite satisfied and continued, “Strictly speaking, I saved you. Otherwise, with your weak cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage and unstable foundation, you would have long been the deceased under the hands of those two ants.”

“Yes.”

Song Linlin nodded and quickly said, “Uh… Thank you for your kindness, your grace, and your great compassion for saving such a weak little person.”

“Do you know that those two Foundation Establishment stage ants, in the end, actually wanted to self-detonate their inner cores and drag everyone down with them…”

Chi Qianning twirled a strand of silver hair around her finger, slowly narrating the events Song Linlin hadn’t seen. At this point, her bright red eyes shifted, “My condition is not good, but withstanding the self-destruction of two Foundation Establishment cultivators once is still not a problem.”

“But I helped you neutralize the self-destruction of those two.”

Song Linlin broke out in a sweat. She seriously suspected that the damage from neutralizing the self-destruction must be significantly greater than just enduring it.

How could this woman say such a thing with a straight face? She made it sound like she did it all for me.

Although she complained about her in her heart, Song Linlin dared not show any inappropriate expression on the surface, adopting a respectful and humble demeanor.

Chi Qianning suddenly let out a soft laugh, releasing the strand of hair. She stared at Song Linlin’s bitten neck, her finger gently tracing the bite mark. Song Linlin instinctively shrank her neck, avoiding the touch.

“Sorry, it’s a bit itchy…” Song Linlin immediately explained awkwardly.

“No matter.”

She withdrew her finger, looking at Song Linlin with a knowing, yet ambiguous smile in her eyes. She continued, “Perhaps you don’t yet know why your perception of spiritual energy is so high, yet your cultivation progresses as slowly as an old ox pulling a cart, with no visible increase in your level for over half a month, right?”

Is that true?

Song Linlin looked confused and obediently nodded, “I don’t know.”

“Of course, it’s because you are simply not suited to cultivate the set of techniques belonging to the righteous path.”

“Most of the cultivation techniques from those so-called prestigious, orthodox sects are mostly Yang-aligned and focus on absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.” Chi Qianning pointed at Song Linlin, “And you…”

“In this world, there will always be humans with special physiques. You happen to have a Pure Yin Body. For people with this physique, cultivating demonic arts is the most suitable.”

Song Linlin listened dumbfounded, suddenly feeling a glimmer of hope for her future. Could she be a hidden genius?

The correct way to open her journey should be to defect to the demonic path!

As if seeing through Song Linlin’s current thoughts, Chi Qianning mercilessly shattered her illusion, “Don’t be happy too soon. You should be grateful that you are a disciple of the Xuan Yun Sect and were not discovered earlier by a demonic cultivator.”

“In this world, the law of the jungle is the eternal rule. Without sufficient strength or connections to protect your core structure, those lunatics wouldn’t mind flaying your skin and transplanting your core structure onto themselves.”

“Okay…”

Song Linlin sighed, her dream of rising to prominence shattered. This world is truly fraught with dangers. It seems the safest option is to stay hidden within the sect!

Wait, this person right in front of her doesn’t seem like a good person either…

No, she isn’t human at all!

She nervously glanced at Chi Qianning. Even if her condition was clearly poor and she was overly exhausted, Song Linlin still had no power to resist.

Song Linlin could only resign herself to fate now. She couldn’t beat her, but the fact that she didn’t kill her just now, doesn’t that mean there’s still a possibility of a turning point?

“You are certainly very appealing to me. After all, a person with a Pure Yin body only appears a few times every thousand years, and most of them are already corrupted by the demonic path.”

At this point, Chi Qianning’s tone shifted, “Of course, that is only limited to being appealing. In my eyes, you are more like a supplement.”

No wonder this person wanted to bite me to death just now…

Song Linlin roughly understood the situation and tentatively asked, “So, when you bit me and absorbed my blood and spiritual power, were you healing your injuries?”

“Not dumb.” Chi Qianning nodded lightly, a hint of disdain in her voice, “However, with your meager spiritual power, even if I had killed you just now, it would be, at most, comparable to taking one bottle of high-quality spiritual pills.”

“It can only provide emergency aid, not much significant effect.”

“Okay…” For the first time, Song Linlin felt that low cultivation wasn’t an entirely bad thing.

Because she was too useless, she escaped the fate of being instantly drained dry.

“For the next period of time, I need to rest and recover my strength. This place has been exposed and is no longer suitable to stay in.”

Chi Qianning stared at Song Linlin, “I have considered it, and the Xuan Yun Sect seems like a good place, at least there won’t be these annoying demonic cultivators disturbing us.”

“Ah???”

Song Linlin was one hundred percent unwilling. This clearly meant she was going to cling to her and intended to use her as a long-term blood bank during her recovery period.

So she immediately said, “I was only following the team for practical training outside the mountain. Bringing someone back when I return to the sect is simply unacceptable, isn’t it?”

“Besides, there are many elders in the sect. What if I get discovered?”

Chi Qianning raised an eyebrow slightly, confidently stating, “Don’t worry, even if the Sect Master of the Xuan Yun Sect stood right in front of you, he absolutely would not discover me.”

“Why?” Chi Qianning’s crimson eyes deepened, and a sense of danger surfaced. She countered, word by word, “Or are you saying you are unwilling?”

Song Linlin forced a stiff smile, tearfully saying, “How could I be? I am, of course, extremely willing.”

“Very good.” Chi Qianning nodded in satisfaction. She glanced at the pile of useless trinkets Song Linlin had brought over earlier and instructed, “Put these away, prepare to leave.”

“Oh…”

Song Linlin obediently complied. She packed all those strange items, whether they were poisons or something else, into a cloth bag and then tossed it into her storage ring.

After all, it would be highly suspicious to pretend to go out to relieve herself and then return with a pile of “trophies.” Moreover, strictly speaking, all these things belonged to that woman. Even though she looks down on them now, she might need them again at some point.

Having packed these miscellaneous items, Song Linlin stood up. Her night clothes were already covered in dust and grass clippings. After falling so many times in one night, witnessing a fight between powerful figures, and being affected by the resulting shockwaves, it was already a great outcome that she hadn’t broken any bones.

After a moment’s thought, she went and collected the swords of the two demonic cultivators as well. Since Chi Qianning killed them, and she almost lost her own life, these good things shouldn’t benefit outsiders!

“Alright, we can go!”

Song Linlin quickly adjusted her mood. Regardless, the other party temporarily had no intention of killing her. She would worry about future matters later. If she can live, she should cherish every day.

“May I ask your name?” Song Linlin asked cautiously, afraid of displeasing her, and added, “My name is Song Linlin. I feel like I’ll definitely be spending quite a long time with you now, so I just wanted to ask.”

“Of course, if you don’t want to say, it doesn’t matter, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

After speaking, she blinked, looking at the other party with a mix of anticipation and harmlessness. Chi Qianning looked at her blankly for two seconds before finally speaking, her voice devoid of emotion: “Chi Qianning.”

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Song Linlin immediately felt relieved. The name “Chi Qianning” had not appeared in the original text of this novel.

She had initially thought this person might be an important figure in the plot, after all, she was as beautiful as the female protagonist and very powerful—clearly not an ordinary person!

Ensuring that she wasn’t involved in the dangerous main plot, Song Linlin’s mood improved considerably. She just felt that Chi Qianning was the type of hidden master mentioned in the novel, powerful but with no widespread reputation.

“Uh… where should we go out from?”

Song Linlin curiously peered around. Now, the surroundings were a mess, with scattered rocks and grass clippings everywhere after the fight between the three people. For a moment, Song Linlin couldn’t find the exit.

Chi Qianning looked at her and asked, “How did you get in?”

“Well…”

Song Linlin looked a bit embarrassed, “It’s a long story. I was originally just walking around outside, and then I carelessly missed my step and fell into a hole.”

“I followed the passage all the way, and finally reached the exit, but then you know what happened next…”

“A hole?” Chi Qianning turned her head to look at that spot and frowned, “I only knew there was a cave there. I never thought there was an exit.”

After speaking, Chi Qianning waved her hand towards the sky. An invisible barrier was opened, and the surrounding scenery changed accordingly. Only then did Song Linlin realize that this place had a barrier.

At the same time, her face darkened. A barrier was set up here. How unlucky was she to accidentally stumble into this place!

After temporarily opening the barrier, Chi Qianning turned around and instructed Song Linlin, “Hold out your hand.”

“Okay.”

Song Linlin didn’t know what she wanted to do now, but it didn’t matter anymore. Her life was in the other’s hands, so the other party couldn’t possibly want to bite her one last time before leaving, could she?

Chi Qianning also stretched out her hand, and the tip of her middle finger lightly touched Song Linlin’s wrist. The cold fingertip immediately felt a warmth. Her snowy white skin looked like shimmering jade under the moonlight.

Then a white light flashed. Song Linlin instinctively narrowed her eyes. When she opened them again, Chi Qianning, who had been standing opposite her, was gone.

Where is she???

Just as she was about to look around for Chi Qianning, a strange and cold sensation came from her arm.

Song Linlin looked down and saw a small snake with silver-white scales wrapping around her arm in coils, and it was moving towards the inside of her sleeve.

“Waaah!!!”

Song Linlin couldn’t help but yelp, almost wanting to jump and shake the thing off. Then, the small snake with silver-white scales raised its head, its red eyes dangerously staring into hers.

That gaze was exactly the same as Chi Qianning’s!

The dangerous feeling immediately made Song Linlin quiet down. She didn’t dare to move anymore and could only watch helplessly as the snake crawled into her sleeve. The cold scales brushing against her skin brought a strange sensation, causing Song Linlin to tremble again.

Finally, the small snake stopped moving and coiled around Song Linlin’s forearm, settling in a position that could be covered by her sleeve.

Song Linlin didn’t dare to lift her sleeve to look at it, feeling panicked internally. Other than seeing snakes in the zoo, she instinctively felt fear towards them, and now a snake was coiled around her arm…

Who knew this person was actually a snake? No wonder she likes to bite people so much!
