Transmigrated as the Little Concubine of a Paper-Thin Man - Chapter 30

The next moment, Yan Ling suddenly reached out and embraced her tightly.

Shi Yunjii was still bewildered, but she could feel that Yan Ling seemed to be in desperate need of her company right now.

Fearing that Yan Ling had suffered some grievance in the Yun Clan Sect, she quickly hugged her back and gently patted Yan Ling’s back in comfort. Although she knew the other person couldn’t see her mouth movements, she was still very earnest, repeating seriously, [It’s alright, it’s alright.]

For some reason, her comfort didn’t seem to work. Yan Ling held her tighter and tighter, gripping her with a force as if she wanted to embed Shi Yunjii into her own body. Shi Yunjii gradually felt the pressure on her chest and found it difficult to breathe even when tilting her head back.

Feeling uncomfortable, she couldn’t help but try to push Yan Ling’s shoulder.

“Are you so eager to leave me?”

The instant she made the gesture to push away, Yan Ling’s voice sounded in her ear.

Yan Ling’s strength still hadn’t relaxed. Shi Yunjii was confined in her arms, unable to move, and couldn’t even turn her head to look at Yan Ling’s expression.

Shi Yunjii could only open her mouth and dryly call out: [Yan Ling?]

Yan Ling turned her head to look at her.

She asked, “Stay, okay? Stay by my side.” Without waiting for Shi Yunjii to answer, she continued, “I will be good to you, even better than how you were to me when you first took me in.

“I will take you to live in magnificent palaces, provide you with precious spiritual food every day, and ensure you never suffer any grievance. Is that okay?”

Shi Yunjii’s mind went blank for a moment. She hadn’t expected to hear these words from Yan Ling’s mouth.

Stay?

Stay in this bizarre and unpredictable game world? Stay in this cultivation world with only the familiar Yan Ling, far away from all her efforts, connections, and blood relatives in the real world?

This, how could this be?

Taking a few deep breaths, Shi Yunjii tried to communicate with Yan Ling: [Is the matter with the Yun Clan Sect… very tricky?]

She could only think of this. Otherwise, how could someone as powerful as Yan Ling act this way in front of her?

Yan Ling suddenly laughed, a sound that, when it reached Shi Yunjii’s ears, only made her shudder.

She asked Shi Yunjii, “Is life in the Divine Realm… really that wonderful?” After a pause, she added, “Or, tell me, how can I enter your world? How can I find you?

“Is successful ascension enough?”

Shi Yunjii was stunned again.

Was her world really that wonderful?

Thinking of this question, she hesitated. She recalled the heavy workload in the modern world, the difficult human relationships she had to navigate, and her mother who was about to marry and start a new family…

Piece by piece, these things didn’t seem to have much to do with “wonderful.”

After a moment, she shook her head.

No matter what, the modern world was not the Divine Realm Yan Ling imagined. If Yan Ling could successfully ascend, it would definitely not be to the modern world she inhabited.

“So, no matter what, I can’t get any closer to you.”

Yan Ling drew her conclusion from Shi Yunjii’s expression.

Hearing this, Shi Yunjii’s body stiffened. She struggled to turn her head, wanting to see Yan Ling’s expression.

Perhaps sensing her effort, Yan Ling cooperated by relaxing her grip slightly. Shi Yunjii successfully turned her head and met her greedy gaze.

Yes, greedy.

Yan Ling’s gaze fell on her without any disguise. Every look showed the owner’s longing and possessiveness for her.

Shi Yunjii had never been in a relationship, but she wasn’t dense. She could roughly understand what this pure possessive gaze meant. A vague thought rose in her mind—

Yan Ling… has desire for her?!

She tried to cup Yan Ling’s face: [Yan Ling? What did you encounter in the Yun Clan Sect? Did… did someone lay a hand on you?]

Facing Yan Ling’s multiple abnormalities, Shi Yunjii still chose to attribute the cause to an external factor.

Yan Ling took the opportunity to grab her hand, holding it firmly in her palm.

She affectionately rubbed her face against Shi Yunjii’s palm, murmuring, “…Let’s go back.”

Shi Yunjii was a little confused: [Go back? Go back to… where?]

Yan Ling actually curled her lips into a smile.

“The Jade Bell Palace was designed by you and me together. You must like it, right?”

Shi Yunjii: [The Jade Bell Palace? But the Jade Bell Palace is not…]

“I’ll take you back.” Yan Ling seemed to have found a new direction, a strange yet relieved light blossoming on her face. “I told you, I will be very good to you. I will let you enjoy the best of everything in this world.”

This time, without waiting for Shi Yunjii to express her confusion again, she wrapped her arms around Shi Yunjii’s waist, took to the air with her, and directly left Yunshuang City, flying towards the direction of the Soaring Immortal Sect.

In the air, Shi Yunjii tried to speak to her several times but was stopped by Yan Ling.

“Be good, don’t move around. We’ll be there soon.”

[Yan Ling…] High in the sky, Shi Yunjii gripped the clothes on Yan Ling’s chest tightly to maintain her balance. [Hua Yan was just injured by you. We, we can’t go back like this.]

She spoke while gasping for breath: [Hua Shu must hate you to death. Isn’t going back throwing ourselves into the net?]

Yan Ling only smiled and asked, “Don’t you believe in me?”

She leaned close to Shi Yunjii’s ear, whispering cold words in a gentle tone: “My God, I have endured them for too long. This time, I won’t let any obstacle stand in our way.”

With that, Yan Ling immediately sped up, no longer giving Shi Yunjii time to speak.

To accommodate Shi Yunjii’s body, Yan Ling took several days to return to the Soaring Immortal Sect. But Shi Yunjii didn’t know the exact time because she was asleep for most of the journey.

She didn’t know whether her excessive sleepiness was due to Yan Ling or simply because her body couldn’t withstand the long journey; she figured it was probably both.

In any case, when she finally woke up, she and Yan Ling were back in that familiar palace built of azure jade.

It was night when they returned to the Jade Bell Palace. A crescent moon hung faintly in the sky.

The moonlight was cold, pouring like water onto the green flagstones, making Shi Yunjii momentarily think she had arrived in the Immortal Realm.

Yan Ling’s arm was gently wrapped around her, her voice more tender than the moonlight: “We’re here.”

She picked up Shi Yunjii horizontally and carried her into her sleeping chamber: “You can rest well again.”

Shi Yunjii had slept long enough.

She grabbed Yan Ling’s collar: [Yan Ling, can we, can we calm down and talk properly…]

Yan Ling looked at her faintly: “It’s late… Aren’t you going to sleep?”

She placed Shi Yunjii on the bed. As soon as she let go, Shi Yunjii sat up by herself.

Shi Yunjii pressed down on Yan Ling’s hand, which was trying to cover her with the blanket: [I’ve slept for too long. I’m not tired now.]

Yan Ling stopped her movement.

She flipped her hand to hold Shi Yunjii’s, then half-crouched down, looking up at Shi Yunjii in a posture of reverence: “What do you want to talk about?”

Shi Yunjii briefly organized her thoughts.

She looked at Yan Ling: [First, tell me what exactly happened when you went to the Yun Clan Sect that night? Did you… see Yun Ji’s enemy?]

“Yes, I did,” Yan Ling said. “His name is Jiang Shu, and he is now the Sect Leader of the Yun Clan Sect.

“Most disciples in the sect do not know about his wicked deeds. They only think that Yun Ji was unable to bear her father’s death and left in a pique, honoring Jiang Shu as the acting Sect Leader.”

Shi Yunjii blinked: [That doesn’t sound complicated.]

She took a deep breath and then asked: [Theoretically, as long as you expose Jiang Shu’s true colors, make public the truth of his regicide and usurpation, and then have Yun Ji return to take over the sect’s management, you can fulfill Yun Ji’s wish, right?]

Yan Ling’s face was expressionless. She uttered a faint “Mhm.”

Shi Yunjii was puzzled: [So, is there any difficulty in this process?]

She tilted her head to look at Yan Ling: [Did you run into trouble? Is it difficult to collect evidence of Jiang Shu’s regicide and usurpation?]

Yan Ling suddenly smiled.

She was half-crouching, shorter than Shi Yunjii, so she needed to look up to meet Shi Yunjii’s gaze. Yet, despite this slightly disadvantaged position, she didn’t look weak at all; rather, she still looked like she was in complete control.

She said, “It’s not difficult.” And then she added, “I don’t want to help you.”

Shi Yunjii was stunned by this statement, unable to react for a long time.

She stammered: [Wh- what?]

“Alas—” Yan Ling suddenly sighed, bringing her hand to her cheek.

Just when Shi Yunjii hadn’t reacted, Yan Ling turned her face and gently kissed the back of Shi Yunjii’s hand. Subsequently, the kissing spread, landing on her palm, and then her wrist.

Finally, before the fourth kiss landed, the stunned Shi Yunjii finally reacted.

She trembled slightly as she pulled her hand back, looking at Yan Ling with an innocent face, as if she were looking at a stranger.

“So, you never realized my feelings…” This time, Yan Ling no longer stopped herself.

She leaned in, supporting herself with both arms on either side of Shi Yunjii’s body, tightly trapping her between herself and the bed: “I told you, I want you to stay, to remain here.”

As she spoke, she ran her hand over Shi Yunjii’s cheek: “My God, listen to my humble wish, accept my devout offering… Okay?”

Shi Yunjii used her hand to hold back Yan Ling’s shoulder.

[Yan Ling…] There was a layer of wetness in her eyes, making her look innocent and bewildered. [Why, why… What is going on…]

Her fragmented sentences showed that she still couldn’t make sense of everything that was happening.

But Yan Ling didn’t give her space to escape.

She applied a slight force, ignoring Shi Yunjii’s weak struggle, and covered her completely. The next moment, cool, thin lips pressed against Shi Yunjii’s slightly trembling ones.

The moment they touched, neither of them moved.

Shi Yunjii was too shocked, while Yan Ling’s reaction was more intense—her whole body was uncontrollably trembling slightly.

It was as if a person struggling in the desert had finally tasted sweet water, as if the dry, barren land had finally awaited a refreshing rain. For Yan Ling, this moment was the soothing of the wildly growing obsession in her heart.

She was uncontrollably excited, but the more tumultuous her inner world was, the more cautious her actions were.

So, slowly, Shi Yunjii felt her gently kissing her lips and then attempting to part her teeth to continue the invasion inside.

She finally woke up. While resisting by biting her teeth shut, she pushed against Yan Ling’s shoulder and simultaneously transmitted her emotions to Yan Ling through telepathy in her mind.

[Yan Ling, let go of me!]

[Yan Ling, clear your head!]

[Yan Ling, stop! Please stop first! Did Jiang Shu do something to you? You must have been bewitched by something, right?!]

Yan Ling’s response was to press her shoulders, pushing her directly onto the bed.

She then propped herself up over Shi Yunjii, looking straight into her eyes.

[Yan Ling, let go of me…] Shi Yunjii covered her mouth, weakly demanding.

“Yes, I was bewitched,” Yan Ling said, staring into her eyes.

She took Shi Yunjii’s hand and pressed it to her left chest, over her heart: “A heart devil has grown here. I am in so much pain. I can only be controlled by my desires.

“Can you help me? Please help me, okay?”

Shi Yunjii: [Wh- what…]

Yan Ling smiled, her gaze full of passion: “For so many years, I could only passively and remotely accept your gifts. I’ve had enough of those days.”

“My God.” She leaned down, calling out to Shi Yunjii tenderly, “I cannot… I can no longer control myself.”

With that, she ignored Shi Yunjii’s resistance, gripped her chin, and continued the deep kiss.

Heart devil.

This entity seemed to be her shield. Yan Ling felt as if she was hiding behind the heart devil, and all her actions now had a reasonable explanation. Because even at this moment, she was unwilling to see her God dislike her, to show her a look of disgust. She needed a plausible excuse, to coat her actions with an appearance of being beyond her control.

Yet, this very excuse also caused Yan Ling pain.

The deeper the kiss, the more she sensed Shi Yunjii’s resistance, the more clearly she saw her own cowardice.

Shi Yunjii gradually lost strength. She felt that she, too, was probably bewitched. She actually felt that Yan Ling’s kissing was not unpleasant but instead seduced her into sinking into it together.

In a daze, she couldn’t tell if she was being forced or if she was weakly responding.

But just as the two were getting carried away, the Jade Bell Palace beneath them slightly trembled.

Yan Ling stood up immediately.

“They’ve found out.”

The two had returned to Lingling Peak late at night. To allow Shi Yunjii to rest, Yan Ling hadn’t alerted anyone. Because the Jade Bell Palace had a barrier, Hua Shu and others couldn’t enter, which was why they had their moments of quiet just now.

But now, it seemed their whereabouts had been discovered by the people of the Soaring Immortal Sect.

Shi Yunjii sat up blankly.

“Don’t be afraid.” Yan Ling looked at her, her expression gentle and comforting.

She leaned down and placed a kiss on Shi Yunjii’s cheek: “I’ll go check outside. I’ll be back soon.”

Before Shi Yunjii could even open her mouth, she had already turned and left.

Because of this, Shi Yunjii didn’t see Yan Ling’s eyes immediately turn blood-red after she turned away.
