Transmigrated Into The Arms Of The Heroine Of A Sadistic Novel - Chapter 15

“Are you really detoxifying?” Tan Changxin raised the hand holding the Spirit Binding Cord, covering half of her face, and asked with suspicion.

She had never seen such a strange detoxification posture, nor had she ever seen anyone press out toxins while rubbing their hands on someone else’s stomach!

Lin Yanyu was focused on detoxification and had forgotten that the young girl was thin-skinned and shy. Hearing the question, she suddenly realized and subconsciously looked at the hand that was still lightly rubbing in circles.

Heaven knows, she was truly concentrating on detoxifying the young girl!

This was a huge misunderstanding. Lin Yanyu wanted to explain, but thought it might only make things worse. After struggling for a while, she could only pretend to be serious and say to Tan Changxin, “Yes, don’t be scared. My demonic qi is slightly warm; it’s normal for you to blush.”

Ignoring Tan Changxin’s complicated gaze, Lin Yanyu gathered the toxins into her palm more quickly, curled her five fingers, and was about to “extract” the poison when she suddenly heard Tan Changxin groan in pain, her body slightly arching.

Lin Yanyu quickly pressed one of her acupuncture points, holding her still to continue extracting the poison, and asked, “Can you bear it? If you can’t, give me the Spirit-Binding Cord! This poison is very unusual; you absolutely must not fall asleep!”

“It’s fine.” Tan Changxin gritted her teeth, put down the Spirit-Binding Cord, and refused, “You just focus on detoxifying; I won’t move around.”

She felt the warmth all gather in Lin Yanyu’s palm. Her lower abdomen was both hot and painful, even more uncomfortable than period pain. It hurt so much that she groaned out loud several times, but fearing that it would affect Lin Yanyu’s detoxification, she steeled herself, bit the Spirit-Binding Cord in her mouth, and stared intently at the pair of fuzzy black cat ears, trying to divert her attention.

This was not the first time Lin Yanyu had detoxified someone. With Tan Changxin’s cooperation, she quickly forced out most of the toxins and sealed them within a newly condensed water orb.

“Alright, it’s done.” Lin Yanyu found a container to store the “Three Day Cold” poison, wiped the fine sweat from Tan Changxin’s forehead, and retrieved the Spirit-Binding Cord that the girl was still biting, “You lie down and rest for a bit. I’ll go get some clean water to wash your wound. Don’t sit up and move around!”

The original body’s internal qi was fire-based, so Lin Yanyu didn’t dare to use water-based spells frequently. After hastily giving instructions, she was about to get up but was pulled back by Tan Changxin catching her sleeve.

“Thank you,” Tan Changxin whispered.

“What are you being polite for! You’re my Master; this is what I should do,” Lin Yanyu smiled and gently rubbed her forehead, then left the quiet room and walked downstairs.

After she left, Tan Changxin slowly raised her hand and looked at her fingers.

The blood bead from the contract had long since solidified, forming a small, willow-leaf-shaped mark.

Subduing a demon to be a Demonic Attendant for one’s own use was something every Demon Slayer took pride in, but she regretted it now.

If Lin Yanyu were not her Demonic Attendant, perhaps they could have become good friends.

But once the Master Servant Blood Contract was established, it was for life, and could only be undone if the “Master” died.

Lin Yanyu, as the esteemed Young Lord of the Demon Realm, had willingly entered into a Master-Servant Blood Contract with her and insisted on having her as the Master. Even after returning to the human world, she still couldn’t figure out the reason behind it.

Tan Changxin curled her fingers, her thoughts drifting.

Could it be… that Lin Yanyu was truly fond of her, and unwilling to imprison her in the Demon Realm, so she stayed by her side in this manner?

Otherwise, why would she take such good care of her?

Lin Yanyu soon came up with a wooden basin.

There was a well in the courtyard with living water. She thought it looked clean enough, drew some up, used her demonic fire to boil and disinfect it, and then poured the cooled water into the wooden basin.

In truth, Lin Yanyu wasn’t sure if she had completely forced all the toxins out. She wasn’t a professional physician and could only control the poison before it took effect. She still needed to find a way to help Tan Changxin in the competition tonight.

She remembered that in the original story, Tan Changxin only truly returned to the human world with Ye Yaozhi’s help after killing the original owner. By then, the family memorial ceremony had long passed, and there was no opportunity for Tan Changxin and Yang Hengyu to publicly compete. Luckily, she mostly remembered Yang Hengyu’s techniques, so she could adapt as needed.

Thinking this, Lin Yanyu walked into the quiet room.

Tan Changxin was still lying down, but the clothes covering the injured area were lifted to the side, exposing the wound and skin. She was actually waiting obediently for her to return to clean the wound.

Lin Yanyu placed the wooden basin beside her, used her demonic qi to guide the water over the wound, and cleaned it carefully.

“Does it hurt?” Seeing Tan Changxin frown slightly, Lin Yanyu quickly asked.

Her movements were gentle, and the wound was shallow, so Tan Changxin didn’t feel much pain. She was just unaccustomed to being treated this way and shook her head.

Lin Yanyu continued cleaning. After a short while, she heard Tan Changxin softly say, “Since I entered the Xuan-Peeking Academy at the age of seven and left home to become a Demon Slayer, I’ve been accustomed to treating my injuries alone.”

“That won’t do. There are some injuries you can’t reach yourself. You still need a companion to take a look; you absolutely cannot be brave on your own,” Lin Yanyu smiled and shook her head.

Tan Changxin acknowledged this and suddenly asked, “Yanyu, do you want to be my companion?”

“Aren’t I already one!” Lin Yanyu didn’t understand her meaning. Her hands didn’t stop moving. She quickly finished cleaning the wound and then performed a mid-level healing spell, enveloping the area in a green glow.

Tan Changxin was stunned, seeing no change in Lin Yanyu’s expression. She couldn’t help but remind her, “But companions should be equal in status. You… you are my Demonic Attendant.”

“Oh, were you provoked by those words from Yang Hengyu?” Lin Yanyu countered, “It’s fine, this Young Lord is magnanimous; her sarcastic remarks are like flatulence.”

Without waiting for Tan Changxin to speak, she added, “Besides, she got one thing wrong. It was this Young Lord who voluntarily became your Demonic Attendant and even forced you to be this Young Lord’s Master. It’s not that you tricked this Young Lord and captured me, forcing me to comply. You were passive. So, although this Young Lord is your Demonic Attendant and is bound by you, our relationship is not unequal. Have you ever seen a Demon Slayer forced by a demon to be their Master?”

This was the first time Tan Changxin had heard such an argument. She was dazed for two seconds before shaking her head, but her face showed a troubled expression.

“The wound is treated, but this Young Lord isn’t skilled in medicine. Be careful during the competition tonight,” Lin Yanyu helped her sit up, took out a roll of gauze from her storage jade pendant, and continued to instruct, “If you really can’t bear it, just call this Young Lord over to help. Above all, keeping yourself safe is the most important thing. Don’t be provoked by that woman again.”

With that, she was about to bandage Tan Changxin when the other girl suddenly grasped her wrist.

“Last night, I was only focused on saving my life, so I didn’t dare to tell you or ask you,” Tan Changxin stared intently at her, “Do you know that once the Master-Servant Blood Contract is set, it is for life? A demon can only be free when the Master dies?”

Lin Yanyu had been a Demon Slayer for so long in her previous life that she naturally knew this better than Tan Changxin. Hearing this, the corner of her mouth curved up, and she said carelessly, “Of course, this Young Lord knows. Otherwise, how would I dare force you to be my Master? Only a Demonic Attendant can move freely in the human world. This Young Lord has been bored in that little corner of the Demon Realm for so many years. Rather than staying there until I die of old age, I might as well form a contract with a young girl like you and have a blast in the human world!”

“Fun is only a temporary desire; it fades away when you get tired of it and won’t last,” Tan Changxin shook her head, holding her hand and saying seriously, “But the Master-Servant Blood Contract is not…”

“Since it’s already done, life is life. Are you afraid this Young Lord will betray you?” Lin Yanyu interrupted her, gently opening her hand, “There’s no need to worry about such unnecessary things and seek trouble. Feng Xianchen is waiting for us to go down and eat. Let me bandage you quickly!”

Tan Changxin fell silent, letting her wrap the gauze around her abdomen in circles.

Although Lin Yanyu spoke with indifference, she still felt a little guilty.

The young girl probably saw the Master-Servant Blood Contract as something as important as a marriage contract, while she… only wanted to use the Master-Servant Blood Contract to stay by the young girl’s side forever, and to live a stable life by relying on the so called “female lead’s halo.”

“Since that is the case, please don’t call me ‘Master’ anymore,” Tan Changxin’s voice interrupted her thoughts. “You are slightly older than me; just call me Changxin.”

She lowered her gaze to the hand that was wrapping the gauze for her, and with a hint of excitement, she said earnestly, “From now on, we are companions who will live and die together.”
