Reborn as a Human Cauldron, But I'm the Top - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Defection.

“No, there’s no emotion.”

Song Yin was extremely annoyed. She tried many times but still felt dissatisfied.

Why was the Song Yin in the Mirage Mirror able to say those words so naturally? Logically, that was also her.

In the river water, Song Yin’s reflection frowned tightly. She closed her eyes, finally giving up on tormenting herself.

The torture of the heart demon never disappeared. When she stood up, the world spun.

“D*mn it.”

Forcibly suppressing the surging heart demon, Song Yin turned around and saw a terrified Shen Shuci.

A different stage, different witnesses, the same awkward scene.

Song Yin’s already pale face slowly flushed, and her eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

Shen Shuci was panic-stricken. She slowly closed her eyes and whispered, “I didn’t see anything.”

She cautiously picked up two fallen leaves and covered her eyes, constantly muttering softly, “I didn’t see it.”

Shen Shuci felt especially miserable. She finally got a chance to take the Host away, but the moment Song Yin woke up, everything she had said became nonsense.

Saying so much was less effective than Song Yin opening her eyes. Shen Shuci was too angry to sleep, but she hadn’t expected to see Song Yin practicing here.

Song Yin looked at the person playing dead. Her face flushed, and she walked over, squatting down to pat Shen Shuci’s shoulder.

Shen Shuci trembled violently, and the leaves covering her eyes fell off.

Looking at Shen Shuci’s tightly closed eyes, Song Yin simply reached out and pulled her eyelids open.

“Stop pretending.”

Since she was discovered anyway, Shen Shuci immediately pushed away Song Yin’s hand pulling her eyelid. “Let go.”

Song Yin, because of her love for Shen Yirong, was very tolerant towards Shen Shuci. She sat down in front of Shen Shuci. “Let’s talk about the memory thing again.”

“There’s nothing to discuss. I won’t help you.”

Golden color tinted Shen Shuci’s pupils again. She sat up, crouching low like a leopard ready to pounce.

Song Yin still looked expressionless. “I mean, clear away what you just saw for me.”

Shen Shuci’s guard instantly dropped. She asked, confused, “That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

Shen Shuci stared nervously at Song Yin’s face. “I can’t do it.”

Before Song Yin could get angry, she hastily explained, “I don’t have the authorization to delete memories.”

After Shen Shuci said this, she felt Song Yin wouldn’t understand, so she tried to use a term more familiar in the cultivation world.

“That is, I have no way.”

Song Yin sighed. “Understood. But you can’t tell anyone about this, got it?”

Shen Shuci, being stared at by Song Yin, felt immense pressure. She was a bit unwilling but had no choice but to accept it for now.

“Alright.” Shen Shuci slumped against the tree trunk.

This promise was practically useless, but Song Yin couldn’t do anything about it for now either.

Sensing Shen Shuci’s strong hostility towards her, Song Yin slowly sat down next to Shen Shuci.

Shen Shuci’s entire body screamed rejection. She didn’t understand what Song Yin was trying to do.

Under the moonlight, Song Yin’s cold face appeared even more aloof. Shen Shuci felt uneasy and silently moved away a little.

Song Yin didn’t continue to approach. Under Shen Shuci’s wary gaze, she quietly asked, “Were your days at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion good?”

Shen Shuci: ?

Song Yin maintained her expression. She unabashedly poached her. “The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s benefits are inferior to the Demon Palace. And this Venerable greatly appreciates you. Why don’t you come to the Southern Territory?”

Shen Shuci: …

What is all this? She never joined the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion for benefits.

Shen Shuci righteously refused: “No. The Pavilion Master treats me like my birth mother. I cannot betray her.”

Song Yin chuckled. “This Venerable can also do that.”

Shen Shuci refused again. “No.”

Song Yin wasn’t in a hurry. She looked at Master, who was sound asleep behind her, her eyes softening slightly. “Alas, that’s a shame. If you were willing, I had planned to arrange for you to stay by Shen Yi’s side.”

Shen Shuci’s eyes changed. Her initial expression of utter distaste was replaced by an eagerness that could light up the night. “I accept. To be honest, I’ve longed for the Demon Palace for a long time, but the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion wouldn’t let me leave.”

Song Yin smiled faintly. “Is that so? But…”

Shen Shuci completely forgot her disdain from before.

She had realized that Shen Yirong wouldn’t leave Song Yin anytime soon. Therefore, she would have to persuade her for a while.

Although the Heavenly Dao told her that Song Yin wanted to be her mother, she preferred to call it humiliation. She preferred to call herself a prisoner.

Being a disciple of the Demon Palace was definitely more comfortable than being a prisoner of the Demon Palace.

Shen Shuci immediately grew anxious. “But what? Is the Venerable apprehensive about the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion? They are no threat. If I leave, they will have nothing.”

Song Yin just sighed. “But.”

Song Yin only said these two words and stopped again.

Shen Shuci immediately grew even more anxious. “The Venerable can state clearly any concerns you may have.”

Song Yin’s eyebrows gradually furrowed, and finally, she let out a light sigh. “But, Vice Pavilion Master, you seem to greatly dislike this Venerable. This Venerable has always been reluctant to force anyone.”

Shen Shuci choked. From their first encounter until now, her attitude towards Song Yin hadn’t been very good.

Shen Shuci said insincerely, “No, I am very respectful of you, Venerable.”

Song Yin seemed unconvinced. “Is that so? But this Venerable sees no respect in you. You constantly offend this Venerable.”

This person is relentless!

If I must be a prisoner, then I’ll be a prisoner! I won’t serve her anymore!

Shen Shuci took a deep breath. She said solemnly, “Please believe me, Venerable. It won’t happen again in the future.”

Song Yin was still hesitant. “But.”

But what now!

Shen Shuci was about to grab Song Yin’s collar and say, “I can do it,” but assaulting an interviewer was not allowed.

She took a deep breath and promised with firm eyes, “The Venerable doesn’t have to believe me now. I will prove my sincerity in the days to come.”

Song Yin was laughing inwardly, but her expression was one of reluctance. She feigned a sigh. “Very well then. This Venerable will watch carefully.”

In the quiet night, Shen Shuci was completely energized. She said dutifully, “Venerable, please rest. I will stand guard here.”

After speaking, she pulled out a handful of spirit stones from her spatial bag and began to absorb the spiritual energy from them.

Song Yin chuckled softly. “Good.”

Song Yin returned to Shen Yirong’s side. The other person still maintained the position of holding her, her brows furrowed, sleeping restlessly.

Song Yin cautiously slipped back into Shen Yirong’s embrace, and Shen Yirong’s tightly knit brows slowly relaxed after Song Yin returned.

Because the two were facing each other, Song Yin clearly saw this change.

She kept her eyes open for a long time. Finally, like a thief, she pressed a kiss on Master’s lips. The moment her lips touched, her butt stung.

“Slap!”

A soft sound broke the silence of the long night. Song Yin was completely frozen. Shen Shuci was also frozen.

However, the perpetrator was still unconscious. She muttered fiercely in her sleep, “Damn mosquito! Dare to bite me!”

Seeing Shen Yirong raising her hand to strike again, Shen Shuci rushed forward and cast a tranquilizing spell. Shen Yirong’s hand slowly lowered.

But she still wasn’t completely settled. She fiercely pulled Song Yin into a tighter embrace, looking as if she were trying to squeeze Song Yin into two dimensions.

Shen Shuci reached out to try and loosen Song Yin’s bonds, but she heard the other person mumble, “Just leave it like this.”

As the words fell, Shen Yirong tightened her grip again.

Can she even breathe like this!

Shen Shuci looked at Song Yin’s flushed face. Was the other party actually enjoying this?

Shen Shuci didn’t quite understand. She retreated to the side to guard the two.

After a while, she sighed and shook her head. She asked the Heavenly Dao again: Heavenly Dao above, is this really Song Yin?

“Yes”

Shen Shuci was bored and started chatting with the Heavenly Dao: I just feel like something’s wrong.

“Be careful, it’s poisonous.”

Shen Shuci was startled. She closed her eyes and sensed carefully, but no matter how she looked, the area seemed perfectly normal.

After several checks, she opened her eyes and cursed: You’re messing with me! Where is the poison!

“Boom!”

Lightning poured down, this time striking Shen Shuci directly.

Shen Shuci coughed twice. She pointed to her head, acting unbothered. “Hit here. If you’ve got the guts, strike me dead!”

The Heavenly Dao seemed provoked, and the lightning strikes became fiercer with each subsequent bolt.

This night was destined to be restless. Song Yin exerted herself to seal Shen Yirong’s five senses.

The continuous lightning flashes did not disturb Shen Yirong’s sleep.

Shen Yirong’s embrace loosened slightly. Song Yin looked at her peaceful sleeping face and couldn’t help but smile. “Heh, you’re comfortable.”

Shen Yirong’s features flickered in the lightning. Song Yin quietly traced the contours of her face.

Song Yin’s sigh was drowned out by the thunder, leaving only a gentle whisper.

“Goodnight.”

The lightning continued until morning. When Shen Yirong woke up, the thunder had stopped.

When she opened her eyes, Song Yin was still sleeping, curled up, looking very insecure.

In a trance, the current Song Yin’s face merged with the Song Yin from the time at the Great Peace Sect.

When Song Yin was suffering from spiritual deviation, Shen Yirong also held her like this, but Song Yin didn’t know.

Shen Yirong reminisced for a while and then placed her hand on Song Yin’s wrist. Feeling that the other party’s injuries were much better, she felt relieved.

“The Host cares a lot about her.”

The sudden resentful voice startled Shen Yirong. She raised her eyes in dissatisfaction, only to find that Shen Shuci had a perm, and her clothes were ragged like a beggar’s.

Shen Yirong couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you get struck by lightning? Are you alright?”

Shen Shuci pinched a strand of hair, trying to straighten it, but as soon as she released it, the hair snapped back like a spring.

Shen Shuci put on a veil to cover her curly hair. She summoned her flying sword. “Host, I’ll take you two the rest of the way.”

You two?

Shen Yirong looked like she had seen a ghost. “Are you alright?”

Shen Shuci was much more energetic after being struck by lightning than before. She said with enthusiasm, “I’m fine. Just a little over-charged.”

Seeing Shen Yirong’s confusion, Shen Shuci explained, “I’m fully charged.”

“I tried to provoke the Heavenly Dao several times, and it wouldn’t strike me. It finally did this time.”

The fully charged Shen Shuci was very excited. “Host, I have energy and methods now. I will definitely perform well. For you, I will strive to join the Demon Palace.”

Shen Yirong: “?”

She only took a nap. How did things turn out like this?

Shen Yirong looked at her, still unable to resist using the old method. She reached out and wiggled a peace sign. “What number is this?”

Shen Shuci looked disdainful. “Isn’t this the peace sign?”

It’s over!

She hastily shook Song Yin awake. “Revered One, wake up!”

Song Yin groggily opened her eyes. She rubbed them. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yirong pointed at Shen Shuci. “There’s something wrong with this child.”

Song Yin only felt extremely tired. She glanced at Shen Shuci and seemed to understand something.

Struggling to open her spatial bag, Shen Yirong pulled out a piece of clothing and threw it to Shen Shuci. “Wear this.”

“Okay.” Shen Shuci took it without any objection. She quickly put on the clothes.

Shen Yirong was utterly confused. What exactly is going on?

What did I miss!
