Transmigrated Into The Arms Of The Heroine Of A Sadistic Novel - Chapter 10

If she could, Lin Yanyu really did not want to say such embarrassing lines.

The main reason was that she really couldn’t grasp the original owner’s personality. Even though the original owner’s memories had merged with her, she couldn’t manage it. If she wasn’t careful, she would inevitably make actions that broke the character’s setting.

Since she couldn’t pretend to be the original owner, she had to resort to saying arrogant and overbearing things to barely maintain the persona.

While being held in Tan Changxin’s arms and having her fur stroked, Lin Yanyu was immensely grateful for the various readings and fanju (anime/series) she had watched in her previous life.

There was only one thing that slightly disappointed her this time, after hearing her words, the young girl did not blush or become shy like before. She just stroked her fur with her lips curled up, neither wary nor defensive, as if she had gotten used to her temper.

The young girl trusting her so quickly made Lin Yanyu feel that something was not quite right, but after reflecting on everything she had said and done since last night, she did not find anything inappropriate. On the contrary, she felt that being closer sooner was a good thing. She did not want to develop a relationship with the young girl like the one in the book.

Tan Changxin said to just wait, but they waited in the carriage for a full quarter of an hour, and there was no sign of Feng Xianchen returning.

Lin Yanyu was getting restless. She jumped to the door curtain, pawed it open, and asked Ye Yaozhi, “Has that half demon still not found the entrance?”

Ye Yaozhi, who had been sitting at the front of the carriage observing, reported upon hearing the question, “The entrance has been found, but that half-demon seems to have something else to do.”

Lin Yanyu narrowed her eyes in confusion. She looked far into the distance and saw a layer of black energy attached to the surface of the barrier between the realms. Having performed missions for many years in her previous life, she recognized it immediately as the vengeful spirits formed by dead demon-race members.

Meanwhile, Feng Xianchen, dressed in white, was suspended in mid-air, her back facing them. Strands of demonic qi flowed around her, but what she stood on was pure spiritual qi. The two colors, white and green, merged together, looking very strange.

Just by looking at the flow of the demonic and spiritual qi around her, Lin Yanyu knew she was purifying the vengeful spirits.

She turned to the peering Tan Changxin, asking knowingly, “What is she doing? Can she actually open the entrance to the human realm?” Before Tan Changxin could answer, she added a mumbled comment to fit her persona, “If she can’t do it, this young master will go open it personally, so as not to waste time.”

“Hush, I’ll take you there now.” Tan Changxin placed a talisman on her forehead, put a raised index finger to her own lips, scooped her up into her arms, jumped out of the carriage, and quickly walked over.

Lin Yanyu raised a paw to touch the gradually fading talisman on her forehead and deliberately grumbled, “What is this thing?”

“If a living creature does not want to be entangled by vengeful spirits, it must use a special spell to conceal its aura,” Tan Changxin explained softly close to the cat’s ear. “The talisman spell I cast on you is a type of spell that can conceal one’s aura.”

She walked out of the carriage to a position close to Feng Xianchen, pointed at the barrier, and leaned closer to the cat’s ear again, “Feng Xianchen is purifying these vengeful spirits.”

Lin Yanyu only felt a tickle in her ear from the girl’s breath and couldn’t help but shrink her neck. She glanced at the barrier covered in a thick layer of black vengeful spirits and thought how long it would take to purify them. She couldn’t help but say, “This young master can deal with them. Put this young master down.”

Tan Changxin didn’t move, her voice sinking, “You want to dispose of them?”

“Otherwise?” Lin Yanyu counter-questioned in surprise, “After a soul becomes a vengeful spirit, the soul substance changes. Even if purified, it cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation but will scatter and return to the world. It’s better to just burn them directly. When this young master entered and left the demon realm before, I also burned them casually, though not completely, as there were too many vengeful spirits.”

Tan Changxin paused, hesitated for a moment, and then put her down on the ground, casually undoing a part of the demonic qi restraint within her body so that she could defend herself if attacked by the vengeful spirits.

Lin Yanyu, who was just looking for a chance to test the power of the demonic fire, trotted to a spot where she wouldn’t affect Feng Xianchen, took a deep breath, and aimed at the vengeful spirits. Poof, she spat out a pillar of crimson flames from her mouth. Whoosh, the vengeful spirits in that area were instantly burned clean.

Feng Xianchen, who was chanting a spell, “…?”

She hurriedly looked down, saw a small, sooty black cat on the ground, quickly descended, and repeatedly tried to stop her, “Sister, don’t burn them! I’m purifying them!”

“Foolish little sister! These vengeful spirits are already ruined! They are not worth wasting your energy purifying them!” Lin Yanyu tossed out a chuunibyou line, deftly dodged her, and sprayed blazing demonic fire at the vengeful spirits on the other side.

“Why do you say that?” Feng Xianchen tried to press the matter but was pulled back by Tan Changxin by the sleeve and had to retreat to the carriage.

Tan Changxin quietly repeated what Lin Yanyu had told her. Feng Xianchen frowned upon hearing it and asked blankly, “Since purifying vengeful spirits is a futile effort, why has Master never told us?”

“The human race believes that vengeful spirits also lived as people, and they should be purified before they can depart with dignity,” Tan Changxin looked at the small cat spitting fire and said helplessly, “But the demon race does not seem to think so.”

Feng Xianchen nodded as if she half understood, mumbling, “That’s true, we have never encountered so many demon-race vengeful spirits before…”

After the attached vengeful spirits were burned clean, a barrier entrance just large enough for a carriage to pass through appeared before everyone. The vengeful spirits not scorched by the demonic fire also quickly fled, their squeaking, messy noises irritating Lin Yanyu’s ears.

Lin Yanyu coughed a few times in place after spitting fire before recovering. Demonic fire is different from fire-attribute spells; it not only requires the use of demonic qi but also requires the cooperation of related organs. Fortunately, the original owner had cultivated demonic fire since birth, and spitting fire only made her throat itch.

She opened her mouth and exhaled a puff of white air, ready to transform into her human form to open the entrance to the human realm, when a shadow suddenly enveloped her from above.

Tan Changxin picked her up. Seeing that the edges of her whiskers were slightly curled from the fire and emitting a faint smell of smoke, she couldn’t help but want to laugh, but restrained herself, only lightly pinching her cat paw.

Suddenly having her paw pinched, Lin Yanyu was a bit confused, and asked casually, “Why are you pinching this young master?”

Meeting her bewildered gaze, Tan Changxin almost broke her composure. After holding it in for a long time, she managed to squeeze out four words: “Giving you a massage.”

Lin Yanyu: ???

“Hmph, burning a few vengeful spirits is just a small effort, and I don’t ask for anything in return, no need to be so polite!” Although she was puzzled, she responded in time, and then raised her paw to point at the barrier, “Since you are so proactive, then hold this young master to the barrier. This young master is going to ‘open the door.'”

“I’ll open it. Get in the carriage, both of you.”

Feng Xianchen’s voice came from behind, and Ye Yaozhi also drove the carriage closer.

Lin Yanyu had no choice but to point her nose at her and let out a disdainful, heavy harrumph. She lay down in Tan Changxin’s arms, watching her summon half a piece of white jade and walk to the barrier.

With the token, opening the entrance between the two realms was not difficult. A passage quickly appeared on the barrier, but after Feng Xianchen and the carriage passed through, it closed by itself.

Lin Yanyu squeezed out of the carriage, lay on the empty seat next to Ye Yaozhi, took a deep breath facing the sunlight. The air filling her nostrils was rich with spiritual energy from heaven and earth, a concentration that was hard to achieve in the era she lived in before.

Seeing a city gate not far away, Lin Yanyu lazily said, “After entering the city, go to the Qingxue Street the little beauty mentioned. Conceal your demonic qi and demon form. Don’t attract the attention of the demon-slayers.”

Ye Yaozhi acknowledged, formed a hand seal with one hand, and the wolf ears perched on her head and the wolf tail behind her instantly disappeared. Her entire demonic qi was also sealed.

Lin Yanyu told her to turn around. Seeing that she had also changed her beast pupils into human eyes, she nodded in satisfaction, crawled back into the carriage to find Tan Changxin, flicked her cat tail, coiled it around the girl’s wrist, and asked with a grin, “Where is your home? Point the way for this young master, so this young master can have Yaozhi send you back.”

Before Tan Changxin could answer, Feng Xianchen quickly refused, “No, no! Sister Changxin always walks home, it’s been like this for several years. Going home by carriage would immediately look suspicious. You and your subordinate will be interrogated by the Tan family, that’s too dangerous!”

“Then this young master’s carriage, horses, and servant must have a place to rest, right?” Lin Yanyu glanced at her, thinking that her future accommodation was settled. This kind-hearted younger sister of the original owner would surely let her and Ye Yaozhi stay at the Feng family temporarily.

“That’s easy to handle…” Before Feng Xianchen could finish her sentence, she saw Tan Changxin shake her head.

“Just come to my house,” Tan Changxin looked down at the cat tail coiled around her wrist, “With a noble escort this year, I naturally have no reason to refuse.”
