Transmigrated Into The Arms Of The Heroine Of A Sadistic Novel - Chapter 60

In Qi Huanju’s courtyard, a black cat dashed out of the bedroom in a panic, scrambling up to the top of the artificial rock garden, paws covering her scorching face.

Lin Yanyu never expected that the little girl would directly ask her to take her along!

Mutual trust is a good thing, but the little girl sure knew how to speak back in her previous life, she probably could have been on the “Quotes of the Year” list for romantic lines!

Lin Yanyu felt a bit dizzy as she recalled the memory, regretting it even more afterward.

But what had she actually said to the little girl?

“Sorry, I probably can’t go back. Even if the Huaxing Sword could truly interfere with time and space, in the future, other outsiders like me would also be at risk. It’s better to find a chance to destroy it.”

Though it was her heartfelt truth, saying it at such a sweet moment was a bit… insensitive.

Lin Yanyu stayed crouched on the artificial rock, motionless, lost in thought. Once the whirlwind of joy in her head calmed completely, she returned to Qi Huanju.

Even in human form, she was a cat her steps made almost no sound.

Qin Changxin was staring at the ceiling, worried about why the cat had run off in such a panic. Had she said something too bold? Just as she heard the familiar voice calling, “Changxin,” and was about to turn her head, Lin Yanyu’s face suddenly loomed closer.

Instinctively, Qin Changxin closed her eyes. The next moment, her forehead felt a soft touch.

Lin Yanyu gently cupped her gradually warming face, kissed her carefully, and then knelt by the bed, letting Qin Changxin’s hand rest atop her head.

Qin Changxin instinctively stroked the cat ears. The soft black fur pressed against her palm, twitching now and then with an itch that gradually eased the tension in her chest.

“Why are you suddenly being clingy?” she asked with a smile.

“I… I was too excited just now and left you hanging,” Lin Yanyu whispered. “So I have to make it up to you.”

Her voice was so soft and gentle that Qin Changxin, who had seen her ferocious side in the memory illusion, was momentarily stunned. She commented, “A tigress acting cute.”

Lin Yanyu: “…???”

“I’m clearly a cat! Why am I a tigress?!” she protested with a “meow,” transforming into a black cat, rubbing against Qin Changxin’s face, meowing angrily, then burrowing into the quilt.

Considering the severe injuries to the little girl’s internal organs and meridians, Lin Yanyu even while sulking would never lie on her chest or abdomen. She only curled up beside her, deliberately pressing her soft waist against her.

Qin Changxin let out a low hum, a little overwhelmed by the ticklish sensation, but unable to move the cat away, she had no choice but to raise her voice: “Lin Yanyu!”

“Eh, here I am,” the black-furred head peeked out immediately.

“If you want to take advantage of this moment, you might as well transform back into human form,” Qin Changxin said, locking eyes with the bright green ones.

Lin Yanyu froze for a second, then shook her head hurriedly. “I don’t intend to! Honestly, I really don’t understand taking advantage of someone…”

“Don’t understand?” Qin Changxin asked. “Then how come, the night you abducted me to make the demon-world contract, you were so skilled at pinching my chin and threatening, ‘No contract, then you serve me in bed’?”

“T-That… I was new here, pretending to be the demon-world young master…” Lin Yanyu never expected her past actions to be brought up, folding her ears back and stuttering, “Everything I said and did was from the scripts I read…”

Seeing her curl up, Qin Changxin squinted. “Really?”

“Really!” Lin Yanyu confirmed. “Actually, my master, like your master, forbade me from falling in love.”

She paused, then added: “But my master’s reason was that demon hunters are in dangerous jobs. Once you form a deep bond with someone, if one dies on a mission, the survivor will suffer immensely… I didn’t understand it before, but now I do.”

Not only did she understand, she also grasped why the little girl had been so distressed when she was gravely injured by the Island Master.

Qin Changxin quietly listened, letting out a soft sigh. “But you can’t avoid having a lover just to prevent your loved one from suffering.”

“You’re right,” Lin Yanyu said, resting her head on Qin Changxin’s shoulder, gently burying it in her neck. “Thank you for giving me this chance.”

As the saying goes, healing takes time. Qin Changxin had not only suffered internal injuries but also meridian damage. Her master had ordered her confined for three months.

Lin Yanyu only met her master, Sixth Elder Chu Hanzi, on the fourth morning after returning with Feng and Zhuang. Chu Hanzi, a highly respected character among original readers, was recognized as “a seemingly cold, actually secretly caring tsundere.”

Despite being an elder, she was a Qingtan level demon hunter, wearing the teal base, white line edged dawn flower patterned uniform, cradling a pure white cat familiar, radiating an aura that kept people away.

Learning that her beloved disciple had returned home with a demon attendant who was also the young master of the demon world Chu Hanzi was already furious. Seeing Lin Yanyu in person only tightened her grip on the cat’s fur.

The cat, though unharmed, let out a “meow” in protest, looking at Chu Hanzi innocently.

“You came here to hunt the ‘Blood Leopard,’ so there’s no need to involve humans,” Chu Hanzi said coldly. “With your strength as the demon-world young master, even searching for the ‘Blood Leopard’ alone shouldn’t be difficult.”

“But the human world opposes demons. If the young master of the demon world acts freely in the human world, isn’t that a provocation?” Lin Yanyu sighed. “I voluntarily bonded with Changxin. After eliminating the ‘Blood Leopard,’ I will care for her for life.”

“Hmph, your mother made the same promise to Feng Shijie!” Chu Hanzi’s displeasure intensified. “Later, Feng Shijie sacrificed herself to repair the barrier she destroyed! Blood contracts are fine words, but if the master dies, the demon attendant regains freedom! You could have lived quietly in the demon world, so why chase a criminal to the human world?!”

Sensing her master’s mood shift, the white cat arched its back and hissed at Lin Yanyu.

“I think there’s another story behind what happened,” Lin Yanyu said bluntly. “The ‘Blood Leopard’ must have used control magic on my mother, which caused everything that followed.”

“Evidence?” Chu Hanzi asked sharply.

“Feng Xianchen could leave the demon world unscathed that’s evidence,” Lin Yanyu explained. “If my mother had no reason, why allow me to follow Feng Xianchen out? Feng Xianchen’s status in the human world rivals mine in the demon world. Capturing her and taking the ‘Qin Blood White Jade’ would be more advantageous for threatening the human world, wouldn’t it?”

All true. Chu Hanzi clenched the cat’s fur again, eyes cutting into Lin Yanyu like a knife. Finally, she gave a heavy snort: “If you dare deceive Changxin, don’t think you’ll leave the Xuan Academy alive!”

Watching her leave, Lin Yanyu sat back in the guest hall chair, sighing.

She understood the elder’s protective nature, but according to the plot, no matter how much Chu Hanzi shielded Qin Changxin, the little girl would eventually face the main villain.

In other words, the “Blood Leopard” Xiao Xianyi would eventually start a two-world war. Every demon-hunter faction would be involved; no one could avoid it.

Unless she could break the wings Xiao Xianyi cultivated in advance, leaving him without forces.

With Qin Changxin bedridden, Lin Yanyu couldn’t sit idle. She had to gather information on Yang Hengyu and Xiao Xianyi to find a reason to take the little girl somewhere before the next tragedy, stopping it at its seedling stage.

Though her “traverser” identity had been exposed, she couldn’t tell the little girl they were living in a book.

After all, no one wants their fate predetermined by a “god” or higher existence.

After sorting her thoughts, Lin Yanyu returned to Qi Huanju.

Since Qin Changxin woke up yesterday, they had been mutually transferring internal energy. Due to the blood contract, Lin Yanyu’s demon energy accelerated the healing of internal organs but was less effective on meridians. Still, after a night of treatment, Qin Changxin could sit up and eat normally.

Entering the bedroom, she overheard Feng Xianchen saying through the screen: “It’s fine. On my way here, I saw the master storm off in anger. Looks like you’re even stronger than her.”

“I didn’t mean to anger her!” Lin Yanyu strode over, resting her arm on Feng Xianchen’s shoulder. “Your master is indeed a cold on the outside, warm-on-the-inside person, but her hostility filter toward me is too strong. For now, Changxin and I shouldn’t mention ‘partners’ at all.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic!” Feng Xianchen reassured her. “As long as you catch Xiao Xianyi and uncover the truth of eighteen years ago, everything can reconcile.”

“Easy for you to say.” Qin Changxin held her porridge bowl, laughing and crying at the same time. “Xiao Xianyi has hidden in the human world for eighteen years. If not for the incident at Que Ling Island, no one would have thought he was alive.”

“I think he might be hiding… in the time space rift of the Huaxing Sword.” Feng Xianchen stood, giving Lin Yanyu the spot near Qin Changxin. “According to my uncle, he’s never idle.”

“Feng Mingchi is familiar with Xiao Xianyi?” Lin Yanyu asked quickly.

“Not exactly. But if you want to know, I can take you back to the Feng family. Some things about Xuanqing mother you shouldn’t hear, but you have the right to know.”

“Thank you.” Lin Yanyu smiled wryly, regretting, “If I had known, I would’ve gone with you during the home festival.”

“No worries! Just treat Feng family as your own!” Feng Xianchen smiled, heading out. “Master wanted to see me, so I won’t disturb you.”

After she left, Lin Yanyu glanced at the breakfast brought plain porridge, white buns, and steamed egg custard simple and easy to digest, but limiting her “feeding skill.”

The egg custard was already finished, and Qin Changxin held the porridge. As for feeding the white bun… it seemed strange to even consider it…

Lin Yanyu drooped her cat ears, puzzled. Suddenly, a warm bowl of porridge was placed in front of her.

She looked up in surprise. The little girl blinked at her, sliding the handle of the spoon toward her and softly asked, “Feed me?”
