When a Yandere Cannon Fodder Meets a Dark, Twisted Villain - Chapter 22

A paranoid, deep voice drifted into her ear. Shi Yining explained helplessly, “Jiang Liuyue, there is nothing possible between her and me. Stop getting jealous over nothing.”

“Is Shi not lying to me?”

“Of course not.”

Shi Yining lowered her gaze, looking at the mysterious black silk ribbon clutched in Jiang Liuyue’s hand. A seed of doubt gradually took root in her heart.

Shu Mo’s natal treasure is being held like this, yet it isn’t resisting at all?

In that instant, an unbelievable suspicion surfaced in her mind, only to be dismissed a moment later.

Impossible. Their personalities are worlds apart; how could they be the same person?

“Jiang Liuyue, during the days you disappeared, did you recover any of your past memories?”

“Does Shi wish for me to have them?”

Shi Yining said without hesitation, “Naturally. I still know nothing about you. If you remember the past, I would know your identity and origins.”

Jiang Liuyue held the person in her arms tighter. “I only regained consciousness after Shi returned to the Sect…”

It was the expected answer, yet it brought a hint of disappointment.

“Jiang Liuyue, let go of me first. I’m a bit tired and want to rest for a while.”

“I will accompany Shi.”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yining’s feet suddenly left the ground.

A cry of surprise immediately escaped her lips.

“Jiang Liuyue, what are you doing?”

“Shi wants to rest. I am carrying Shi to the couch…”

Shi Yining felt a flash of shame and annoyance. “Put me down! I can walk myself!”

“I won’t. I like holding Shi like this.”

Jiang Liuyue lowered her head, placing a searing kiss on the woman’s forehead as a form of comfort. Her pace didn’t falter as she carried her slowly toward the jade couch.

Shi Yining bit her lip, hesitating for a moment, but ultimately did not struggle.

She didn’t actually repel Jiang Liuyue’s touch; in fact, she somewhat enjoyed it.

Before returning to the Sect, she had wondered what would happen if Jiang Liuyue never appeared again… at that time, her heart had been filled with an indescribable sadness.

She had to admit that she had developed strange feelings for the “evil spirit” she once wanted to flee from.

When she was placed on the couch, Shi Yining subconsciously grabbed the spirit’s sleeve.

Jiang Liuyue chuckled softly, seemingly delighted by this gesture. She took the slender, jade-like hand and tucked it into her own bosom.

When her fingertips touched a soft place, Shi Yining’s fair face instantly flushed crimson. She tried to pull back, but she was pinned down, unable to move as she wished.

“Jiang Liuyue, let go of my hand!”

“Does Shi not like it?”

Shi Yining turned her head away, stubbornly saying, “I don’t.”

The moment the words left her mouth, the sensation against her fingertips deepened.

Jiang Liuyue leaned down, lightly biting the woman’s earlobe, which was stained with the color of sunset, grinding against it bit by bit.

“Shi is being insincere…”

Having her true thoughts exposed, Shi Yining felt a mix of shame and irritation. Attempting to struggle and push away the person on top of her, her jade fingers—still touching that soft area—subconsciously curled and gripped tightly.

A soft moan immediately spilled from Jiang Liuyue’s lips.

“Shi clearly said she didn’t like it, so why treat me like this?”

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

Realizing the impropriety of her actions, Shi Yining’s body went completely stiff.

Neither in her past life nor this one had she ever felt so humiliated. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into and never come out.

Seeing her beloved in such a state, Jiang Liuyue felt a playful urge to tease her, asking knowingly, “Why is Shi silent?”

Shi Yining bit her lip, her face still burning with embarrassment.

In the next instant, her turned head was forcefully straightened.

“Since Shi doesn’t argue back, it’s a tacit admission of liking it…”

Jiang Liuyue lowered her head, lightly kissing the moist red lips that fascinated her, her tongue slowly prying open the pearly teeth to go deeper.

After a short while, a spark of pain spread from the tip of her tongue.

Jiang Liuyue pulled back slightly, looking at the woman with the flushed, delicate face. Her voice was full of feigned innocence: “Why did Shi bite me?”

Shi Yining turned her head away again, deliberately avoiding the figure above her.

“I said I wanted to rest. If you act like this, how am I supposed to sleep?”

She could guess Jiang Liuyue’s intentions, but… now was not the time. She still knew nothing about this person. If she were “eaten up” now and the person vanished later, she would have nowhere to cry.

The soft sensation on her fingertips lingered. Thinking of what just happened, another wave of blush rose on Shi Yining’s face.

The thick blanket on the couch suddenly dipped. The spirit lay down sideways, pulling her into an embrace.

“Jiang Liuyue, what are you doing now?”

“Didn’t Shi say she wanted to rest~”

“You’re holding me so tightly and grabbing my hand, how am I supposed to rest?”

“Actually, this is very comfortable and makes it easy to fall asleep. Shi just isn’t used to it yet…”

Shi Yining gnashed her teeth. “Jiang Liuyue, you are twisting logic!”

The person beside her took her hand and pressed it back against the soft place in her bosom. “It hurts a bit here. It was injured just now. Shi, help me, okay~”

The implication in her words was more than obvious.

At this moment, Shi Yining simply couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“Jiang Liuyue, if you keep this up, I’m going to get angry!”

Hearing this, the spirit immediately settled down, reluctantly letting go of the jade hand held in her palm.

“Don’t be angry, Shi. I know my mistake…”

Shi Yining turned her back, no longer looking at the figure acting pitiful. “I’m going to sleep. No more messing around.”

Jiang Liuyue gave a soft “mm,” carefully pressing herself against her beloved and speaking no more.

…

After a good night’s sleep, Shi Yining woke up at the hour of the Snake (approx. 9-11 AM) the next day. She discovered that the person who had been pressed against her back when she fell asleep had, at some point, burrowed into her arms.

A fact she had long ignored gradually surfaced in her mind.

When she first met Jiang Liuyue and was haunted by her, she had tried to resist, but her attacks had missed. Back then, she realized Jiang Liuyue could touch her, but she could not do the same.

Now, it seemed different… she could touch this spirit at will. No… to be precise, she was a wandering soul of unknown origin…

Was it because of that contract?

Or was there another reason?

She remembered Jiang Liuyue saying that only after “dual cultivation” could she touch her freely. They clearly hadn’t done that yet… so why…

Thinking of last night, Shi Yining’s face flushed again.

Could it be because I bit her? I remember tasting blood then… do soul bodies bleed? How strange…

Come to think of it, ever since the contract was established, Jiang Liuyue was no longer cold to her; she felt no different from a living person. Yet even so, she still couldn’t see her face clearly…

Shi Yining reached out, but just as she was about to touch the cheek, the person in her arms slowly woke up. She proactively leaned in, nuzzling Shi Yining’s palm affectionately like a cat.

The touch was like warm jade, the skin as delicate as congealed fat. Her features were like a painting, her silhouette distinct.

Jiang Liuyue must be a very beautiful person, and very powerful. Even in a soul state, she could faintly suppress her… Who could she be? And why would such a person haunt her so thoroughly after losing her memory?

Various questions rose in Shi Yining’s heart.

Before she could think further, the person in front of her slowly sat up and hugged her again.

“The Dao discussion is over, and Shi-guniang has no more urgent matters. In the future, can you spend more time with me?”

Shi Yining raised an eyebrow. “Jiang Liuyue, haven’t you been haunting me constantly? How much more ‘time’ do you want me to spend with you?”

“It’s different…”

“How is it different?”

“Me haunting Shi is always my initiative. But I… I want Shi to be more proactive…”

“Impossible!” Shi Yining rejected her without hesitation. “Jiang Liuyue, give up on that idea. I will never do that.”

In her past life, she had chased Shu Mo her whole life, and the ending was tragic. Having lived again, she no longer wanted to proactively pursue anyone.

She admitted she had feelings for Jiang Liuyue, but she was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes. She hadn’t forgotten that Jiang Liuyue was missing most of her memories. Perhaps one day, when she recovered them, she would no longer like her.

Of course, the worst-case scenario was that a recovered Jiang Liuyue already had someone else she loved… Shi Yining tried to imagine such a scenario and felt a wave of sorrow. Looking at the person before her, she suddenly found her annoying to look at.

Shi Yining gave a moderate push, quickly broke free from the warm embrace, and got off the couch.

“Where is Shi going?”

“The back mountain. I want to be alone and quiet. Don’t follow me!”

In the past, whenever Shi Yining felt troubled, she would go to the back mountain to soak in the hot springs to calm her mind.

The hot spring was natural, filled with flowing water that remained crystal clear year-round. Steam rose around it, and there was a restriction set up to prevent any spiritual sense from spying.

A short while later, Shi Yining walked to the edge of the spring, slowly removed her clothes and shoes, and stepped barefoot into the warm water.

Her chaotic thoughts gradually settled into peace.

After a long time, a pebble rolled down by the spring with a plop.

Sensing something unusual, Shi Yining quickly opened her eyes and cast a spell to pull her clothes over her jade-white skin.

“Who is it? Get out!”

As soon as she spoke, a very familiar figure slowly manifested by the spring.

Shi Yining’s heart skipped a beat. “Jiang Liuyue, didn’t I say you weren’t allowed to come?”

A light laugh drifted to her ear. “Shi forgot, I never agreed…”

Shi Yining’s brows furrowed. “How did you not agree? After I said it, you didn’t speak. Isn’t that a tacit agreement?”

“Of course not.” Jiang Liuyue stepped into the hot spring, forcing her into a corner inch by inch, encircling her in her arms. “With me, silence means refusal.”

Shi Yining was furious. “Jiang Liuyue, you’re shameless! How can you be such a rogue!”

The woman laughed but didn’t answer. She only held her tight, leaning into her neck to sniff carefully. “Shi soaked in the spring, and now there is no scent of any other woman on you. I like it very much.”

Shi Yining balled her hands into fists and irritably slapped the surface of the water, instantly sending up a large spray of waves.

“Jiang Liuyue, speaking of which, I want to ask you something… You have no memories of the past, you only remember things related to me. So, how can you guarantee that the past you didn’t love someone else? If you did, what does it mean for you to treat me like this now?”
