Transmigrated Into The Arms Of The Heroine Of A Sadistic Novel - Chapter 17

“Sister Lin, the human world is so bustling, how long do you plan to stay and sightsee?”

Lin Yanyu was watering the flowers in the courtyard when she heard the familiar voice behind her. She replied helplessly, “I told you, I’ll stay as long as I want. You really don’t need to keep asking in different ways.”

The person asking was naturally Feng Xianchen. The little half demon had chatted with her briefly just now, and somehow discovered that calling her “Sister Lin” made her attitude better. Thus, she kept calling her “Sister Lin” with enthusiasm, constantly asking how long she would stay in the human world in various ways.

Lin Yanyu felt that her foolish younger sister was trying to sound her out, but she truly had nothing good to answer. After all, the original character in the book led a love lesson for Tan Changxin and then immediately took her lunchbox and exited the stage, dying too early. She never had the chance to stay leisurely in the human world like this, so Lin Yanyu had no reference for her duration of stay.

Feng Xianchen softly followed behind her with a watering can, then asked, “Then, after the Tan family’s memorial ceremony, will you return to Kuixuan Academy with Sister Changxin?”

Kuixuan Academy was the school where Tan Changxin and Feng Xianchen were enrolled. Lin Yanyu calculated the dates. The little girl was already at the age to accept demon-slaying missions and would be out on her first mission next month at the latest. So, she nodded: “Mhm, this young master promised to protect her, so naturally, wherever she goes, this young master goes.”

With that, the watering was done. Lin Yanyu casually tossed the wooden watering can towards the area where the watering tools were stored. As she backed toward the door, she watched the wooden watering can lightly land under the control of spiritual energy, making no sound and not knocking over any nearby tools.

This was the Spirit Manipulation Technique she was most proud of when she was a demon slayer in her previous life. As long as there was spiritual energy in the surrounding environment, she could manipulate objects with it.

Switching bodies, she was still able to use the spells she learned in her previous life, which made Lin Yanyu very relieved. Furthermore, being able to use the Spirit Manipulation Technique meant she could thoroughly play a trick on that Yang Hengyu in the match tonight.

Feeling relieved, she went upstairs on her own to accompany Tan Changxin. Feng Xianchen was left standing foolishly in the courtyard, staring at the wooden watering can, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Having “relearned” the Spirit Manipulation Technique, Lin Yanyu was eager to talk to Tan Changxin about the strategy for the evening.

Who knew the little girl wasn’t in the meditation room? She stood in the empty room, which only had a soft quilt, in silence for two seconds, then turned and headed toward the bedroom.

She was a cat and was accustomed to stealth. When she wasn’t controlling her footsteps, her walking sounds were almost inaudible. As she flashed into the bedroom, her eyes met those of Tan Changxin, who was not wearing a top.

Eyes met, Lin Yanyu’s first reaction was “why doesn’t the little girl’s bedroom even have a screen?” Then, she turned to leave, but before she could retreat, Tan Changxin grabbed her sleeve.

Lin Yanyu: ?

“Yanyu, you came just in time.” Tan Changxin lowered her head, handing her a clean, damp handkerchief, her cheeks flushed. “Could you help me wipe my back?”

Lin Yanyu: ???

This was an unexpected turn of events, but seeing the little girl’s wrappings and bandages were in place, covering what needed to be covered, and even though she was blushing, she probably wasn’t thinking too much, Lin Yanyu naturally had no reason to refuse. She agreed and took the handkerchief.

Lin Yanyu wiped very carefully. When she was injured and wanted to bathe, she also used this method to wipe herself down, but no one would help her. When she washed herself alone, she always wished she had someone to help her. Now, seeing someone facing the same trouble as herself, she couldn’t help but want to help the other person properly.

Tan Changxin, however, felt a bit uneasy. The cool, damp handkerchief glided over her skin with just the right amount of pressure, making the joy that she hadn’t yet suppressed in her heart stir again.

She even took a deep breath nervously. Just after exhaling, she heard Lin Yanyu ask, “Am I wiping uncomfortably?”

A slightly warm breath lightly brushed her back neck. Tan Changxin shivered involuntarily and quickly denied, “No, not at all! I was just thinking about what method I should use in the match tonight to avoid being ambushed again like just now.”

“That’s easy. This young master will keep an eye on her for you. You can go all out with your output.” Lin Yanyu said, “But don’t suddenly turn this young master back into my original form again. This young master is not afraid of her poison, but you are different.”

“Mhm. Since I regard you as a comrade-in-arms, I naturally won’t restrict you the way I would a demon attendant again.” Tan Changxin smiled and nodded.

Neither of them were talkative people. After discussing the match briefly, they quickly fell silent.

Not long after, it was Lin Yanyu who broke the silence: “The whip marks on your back, did Yang Hengyu do them?”

Lin Yanyu recalled how the little girl was even dreaming about “Sister, don’t hit” when she was still in the demon realm’s sleeping chamber. Now, as she wiped the little girl’s back, she saw those faint but not entirely faded whip marks and finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Yes,” Tan Changxin answered bluntly. “But they are just superficial wounds. They never damaged the bones or tendons. It’s nothing serious.”

“How can you just say ‘it’s nothing serious’!” Lin Yanyu didn’t know where this anger came from. Looking at the whip marks again, she wished she could tear Yang Hengyu apart immediately. “First, she dared to whip you, and now she wants to poison you to death. If it were this young master, I would definitely beat her until she begs for mercy tonight!”

Tan Changxin didn’t speak. Lin Yanyu assumed she agreed with this method of venting and said, “Then it’s settled. You beat her well tonight. If you find you can’t bring yourself to do it, tell this young master, and this young master will beat her for you!”

She deliberately spoke bold words, just waiting for the little girl to agree so she could use the Spirit Manipulation Technique without too many reservations. Who knew Tan Changxin would ask in surprise, “Why would you think I couldn’t bring myself to do it?”

Lin Yanyu was stunned for a second, then snapped back and forcefully hummed, “It was this young master’s bad memory! I forgot you could do it!”

She heard Tan Changxin chuckle, but didn’t get a follow-up, so she didn’t know if the little girl was laughing at her bad memory or purely laughing out of confidence.

At Lin Yanyu’s speed, wiping down didn’t take long. After wiping her back, she honestly returned the handkerchief to Tan Changxin and got up, saying, “Then should this young master wait for you in the meditation room?”

“No need. We are both women; there’s nothing to avoid.” Tan Changxin shook her head, but her face was flushed again.

Lin Yanyu blinked. This was truly unexpected.

Seeing the little girl blush again, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch her, pretending to be curious: “Is that so? Since you said ‘nothing to avoid,’ why are you blushing again?”

“This has nothing to do with avoidance! It’s just that I have paper-thin skin…” Tan Changxin raised her hand to cover her face, explaining while looking at her somewhat resentfully.

Lin Yanyu was somehow intrigued by this look. She suddenly felt like taking advantage to tease the little girl. Her fingertips traced from Tan Changxin’s cheek to her chin, and she asked with a smile, “Oh really, how thin?”

The next second, she saw the blush on the little girl’s face creep up to her ears.
