Chapter 350: Possessed Assistance, Lovers’ Whispers
“…”
Hua Shuya gradually regained consciousness.
But before she even opened her eyes, she felt a dizziness in her head and couldn’t help but purse her lips, letting out a soft moan. It wasn’t the drowsiness of sleepless nights, nor the throbbing pain of a blunt blow, but more like her head being forcibly pried open and something entering, a slight swelling sensation.
But before she could feel any discomfort, a tingling sensation spread through her mind, as if her entire body was soaking in the hot springs of Lunar Valley, her mind becoming calm and peaceful.
And—
Fragmented, dreamlike images flickered in her mind.
—Fighting against those demons and ghosts.
Although the one fighting was herself, it also vaguely felt like it wasn’t her.
But the graceful figure wielding a sword, easily slaying enemies, was deeply imprinted in her mind. Even the circulation of Yin energy and internal force, the construction of the techniques, were clearly visible, naturally surfacing from the depths of her heart, a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Half-asleep, half-awake, the young woman replayed the exquisite sword moves in her mind again and again, savoring their profoundness, as if a new gate to the world of swordsmanship was slowly opening before her eyes, her heart filled with excitement.
Then, a familiar face appeared in her mind.
“Master!”
Hua Shuya suddenly opened her eyes, letting out a soft cry.
Looking at the gauze curtain above the bed, she exhaled as if deflated and murmured: “Was I… just dreaming?”
But this bed didn’t seem like the one she usually… Hmm?!
The young woman vaguely felt that she was being held, and she was startled, quickly turning her head to look at the pillow beside her.
“Uh?”
But after seeing the head resting on the pillow, she froze again.
Because the long blue hair spread out on the bed clearly didn’t belong to a man.
Before Hua Shuya could relax, her heart tightened again.
Wait!
She had only seen such wavy, azure blue hair once in her life, last night, in that old mansion, on that female demon… who had even possessed her body and fought against three other demons and ghosts!
“Mmm~”
A soft and seductive moan came from under the covers, and Youluo slowly emerged, a few strands of hair clinging to her lips, her voice lazy and charming: “You girl, after such a fierce battle yesterday, you’re awake so early~”
Hua Shuya’s face was still filled with shock: “Wh-Why are you… Mmm!”
She was about to move when her face suddenly paled, and she let out a soft moan.
“Don’t move so much, although you’re not injured, you still need to rest for a few days.” Youluo smiled seductively, her alluring eyes like silk as she raised her arm and snuggled closer: “But such a supple and firm body at such a young age is truly commendable~”
“W-What are you doing?!”
Only then did Hua Shuya realize that both she and this strange woman were completely naked, their bodies intimately intertwined in bed.
As they rubbed against each other, she could even feel the woman’s smooth, cool, and jade-like skin, a subtle fragrance lingering in the air, the full curves of her ample bosom clearly defined.
The young woman panicked.
Could it be… that this woman had some strange fetish?!
Although they were both women, if this woman enjoyed “mojing” (tribadism), wouldn’t she lose her reputation if she was touched and embraced like this?!
“Pfft—”
Youluo suddenly chuckled softly, her eyes moist and bright, as she playfully tapped Hua Shuya’s flushed and tense cheek: “I didn’t expect you to be so imaginative, little girl, despite your serious appearance. Do you think I’m some kind of pervert?”
Hua Shuya quickly leaned back and said awkwardly: “But you do seem… a bit unusual right now.”
“Madam Mao helped you take off your clothes and cleaned and treated your wounds.”
“B-But why didn’t you put them back on…”
“I did.”
Youluo chuckled mischievously: “But I took them off again.”
Hua Shuya’s eye twitched: “Just what are you trying to—”
“Naturally, to help you refine your sword body.”
“Refine… my sword body?”
“Yes~ By pressing my fingers against your skin and flesh, guiding your internal energy along specific pathways, in other words, helping you cultivate faster.”
Hua Shuya’s eye twitched.
Was she truly joking?
“Do you know?”
Youluo lowered her eyes slightly, a nostalgic smile appearing on her lips: “Before I used Yin techniques, I was also skilled in swordsmanship, just like you, and even had some fame. And now, seeing you… it’s like seeing my past self, I couldn’t help but want to give you some guidance.”
“Guidance?”
Hua Shuya was slightly stunned.
The events that had transpired before, the sword techniques she had seen in her dream…
She suddenly asked hesitantly: “Could it be that you possessed me before for this reason?”
“Words and demonstrations can’t compare to directly imprinting sword techniques into your soul and memories.”
Youluo smiled and touched Hua Shuya’s chest with her finger, gently tracing patterns: “Your body and your soul have already memorized the sword techniques I taught you, combined with the mental techniques and Yin techniques you learned from the Moon Soul Sa—Lunar Valley, it’s enough for you to fight against Savage Realm demons and ghosts. Being naked now allows me to better examine your physique and bones, to see if you’ve truly integrated the sword bone and divine marrow.”
“…Th-Thank you for your guidance and help, Miss.”
Hua Shuya nodded her thanks, slightly dazed.
But she quickly blushed and awkwardly grabbed Youluo’s hand, which was wandering over her chest: “But I hope you can… restrain yourself a bit, Miss.”
Although her words were touching, her fingers were becoming increasingly restless.
“What’s wrong?”
Youluo narrowed her eyes and teased: “Before marrying Lin Tianlu, don’t you want to learn some… serving techniques? I’m in a good mood now, I might even teach you a few tricks~”
Despite her suggestive words, she didn’t continue, instead helping Hua Shuya smooth her disheveled hair.
Hua Shuya blushed at the mention of “serving techniques,” but hearing the name Lin Tianlu, she asked in surprise: “Do you know Master, Miss?”
“Naturally.” Youluo chuckled softly and sat up in bed, the silk blanket slipping down her smooth and snow-white skin, revealing her flawless body. She crossed her legs and sat sideways, her figure voluptuous and alluring yet also slender and graceful, her narrow waist and full hips incredibly seductive, her skin ripe and alluring, as if it would drip with sweet nectar.
She brushed her hair over her shoulder, her arms pressed against her chest, and leaned closer with a seductive smile: “I’ve been following him all the way from Changling to Qingcheng. I’ve lost count of how many times he mentioned ‘Shuya’ and ‘Miss Hua.’ Now that I’ve finally met you, I naturally have to prepare a small gift.”
“I see…”
Hua Shuya felt a mix of emotions.
But looking at the ample bosom swaying before her eyes, she couldn’t help but blush slightly, averting her gaze.
Such a figure… could probably rival even Madam Mao’s.
Youluo smiled and lifted her weak and numb right arm, gently massaging it: “Little girl, don’t you want to ask me anything else?”
“…No need.”
Hua Shuya turned her head slightly, blushing, and murmured: “Since you’re traveling with Master, Miss Youluo, you must be a good person. Although… you did scare me last night, I won’t pry into your thoughts or secrets.”
“Should I say you trust Lin Tianlu too much, or that you’re simply too understanding?”
Youluo brought Hua Shuya’s hand to her chest and chuckled: “I messed with your mind last night, and you’re not even angry?”
Hua Shuya pursed her lips tightly and snorted softly.
That feeling of being invaded and having her soul toyed with was indeed quite unpleasant… no, to be precise, it was more like an instinctive panic, as if her body was no longer her own, her senses and mind being controlled and invaded, that disorienting sensation was unbearable.
Even now, recalling it made her shudder.
“It seems you’re still a bit upset?”
“You’ve helped me a lot, Miss Youluo, I’m very grateful. So… I won’t be angry with you.” Hua Shuya blushed slightly and bit her lip: “But don’t do that again… and don’t try to harm Master and the others!”
“Silly girl.” Youluo chuckled and gently helped her sit up: “Alright, since you’re awake, let’s move around a bit. Although you’re still a bit sore and weak, getting out of bed and walking around should help.”
“Thank you.”
Hua Shuya gasped slightly and sat up with some effort.
Looking at the young girl’s delicate yet strong and supple figure, Youluo couldn’t help but smile with interest: “Your body is truly exquisite and full of youthful vitality, if Lin Tianlu saw this, he would surely be captivated.”
“D-Don’t say such embarrassing things.” Hua Shuya quickly covered her chest with her hand, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Creak—
But just then, the closed door suddenly opened.
Hua Shuya instinctively turned her head and stared blankly at the figure standing at the door.
Lin Tianlu was holding a basin filled with hot water in his left hand, his hand still on the door, frozen in place, a dazed look on his face.
After a moment of stunned silence, the young woman quickly pulled the blanket over her naked body, her face flushing crimson, and she stammered: “M-M-Master?!”
“Cough! I thought you were still asleep, Shuya.”
Lin Tianlu came back to his senses and chuckled awkwardly: “It seems Youluo restrained herself this time and didn’t cause any trouble.”
“I’m not as much of a bully as you think, Master Lin~”
Youluo lay on the bed, her long legs slightly curled, tilting her head with a playful smile: “If I had truly harmed this little Shuya, I wouldn’t have the nerve to stay here. I would have run away long ago~”
Hua Shuya buried half her face in the blanket, her cheeks burning hot, even her covered body flushed a seductive pink.
But the excitement of seeing her beloved after so long made her unable to resist, only her pounding heart, making her both nervous and… joyful.
She quickly reacted and was about to pull the blanket over to cover the naked beauty behind her.
But turning around, she saw that the mysterious beauty was already dressed in a thin and tight-fitting embroidered robe, and the young woman was stunned: “Eh?”
Youluo chuckled: “You’ve also learned some Yin energy weaving techniques, why are you so surprised?”
Lin Tianlu put down the basin and coughed lightly: “Miss Youluo, help Shuya change into some clean clothes, I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make this girl look beautiful.”
…
After closing the door, Lin Tianlu scratched his head awkwardly.
He hadn’t expected to encounter such a… scene.
But after not seeing her for a while, Shuya was… as considerate as ever, not saying a word even after being seen naked.
If it were any other woman, she would have already screamed and made a fuss.
“Young Master, what happened?”
Lan’er walked over with a tray of steaming breakfast, puzzled: “Why are you standing at the door?”
“Shuya is changing, I’ll wait here.” Lin Tianlu glanced at the tray in her hand, laden with a variety of breakfast dishes, emitting a faint fragrance.
“This is—”
“Madam Mao helped make it.” Lan’er curtsied and said softly: “I wanted to have the servants prepare it, but Madam Mao insisted on helping, so…”
She paused slightly and then exclaimed in admiration: “Madam Mao’s culinary skills are truly extraordinary, even the chefs in the mansion can’t compare, even surpassing the imperial chefs. It was truly an eye-opening experience, I never knew such exquisite cooking techniques existed.”
Lin Tianlu couldn’t help but chuckle: “Ruoyu and Shuya are like sisters, naturally, she wanted to prepare some nourishing food.”
“Madam Mao’s kindness is evident.”
Lan’er pursed her lips slightly and then whispered: “Young Master, I just inquired about some news. The sudden collapse of the ‘Pleasure Pavilion’ has caused quite a commotion in the city, everyone is talking about it. And the Qingyang Grand Ceremony will be held at noon, could there be any… unexpected incidents?”
“There’s no need to worry for now.”
Lin Tianlu smiled gently, waving his hand reassuringly: “That old Prince is no ordinary person, he has his own methods.”
Besides, Youluo, possessing Hua Shuya, had caused quite a bit of “chaos” in the city last night, eliminating a few powerful demons and ghosts and easing the tense situation.
Lan’er nodded, lowering her head: “Understood.”
“After you’ve brought the breakfast inside, Miss Lan’er, why don’t you go back and rest for a while?” Lin Tianlu said gently with concern: “You’ve been running around since yesterday, you haven’t even rested properly, it’s not good for your health.”
“…I’m not tired, Young Master, there’s no need to worry.” Lan’er said calmly: “Her Highness will arrive from Wuxing City when the Qingyang Grand Ceremony begins at noon. She instructed us to invite Young Master and the two Madams to attend the ceremony and banquet.”
“We will naturally attend.”
Lin Tianlu nodded slightly.
This sacrificial ceremony hosted by the Zhengyang Prince would naturally also include a grand banquet. And it was said that the banquet would be divided into three sections: one for the heroes and experts from all over the world, one for the visiting officials and nobles, and one for the members of the Prince’s Mansion.
“But please don’t lower your guard, Young Master.”
Lan’er’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly: “You had a conflict with Madam Ziyu last night. Although it ended peacefully, Madam Ziyu and the other madams in the mansion might continue to cause trouble.”
Lin Tianlu chuckled: “I know how to deal with them.”
Lan’er was slightly surprised.
Last night, as a precaution, she had specifically gone to the East Ginseng Courtyard, where Madam Ziyu resided, to inquire. She had thought that Madam Ziyu would be furious, but the atmosphere in the courtyard had been strangely quiet, as if nothing had happened.
What methods had the Young Master used to make that eccentric Madam Ziyu swallow her anger?
…
In the courtyard.
Cheng Yishi had just sat down in the pavilion when she couldn’t help but sigh, rubbing her forehead:
“Miss Youluo’s antics have truly stirred up trouble in the Zhengyang Prince’s Mansion.”
Although she hadn’t left the courtyard, she had overheard some of the servants whispering outside the wall.
The entire mansion was still talking about the incident that had happened last night.
“She was indeed a bit reckless.”
Lin Tianlu chuckled awkwardly: “Perhaps Youluo has her own reasons.”
“However…” Cheng Yishi frowned slightly and mused: “Although Shuya was lured out of the mansion by Miss Youluo, who was behind the disappearance of the servants last night?”
Although Youluo hadn’t explained the details last night, it was clear that she wasn’t responsible for the disappearance of the servants, who were still missing.
“There’s something strange about this mansion.”
Lin Tianlu stopped smiling, his expression calm and serious: “Although that Madam Ziyu possesses extraordinary martial arts skills, she can also use very subtle Yin techniques, she’s no ordinary person.”
“The power struggles within these noble families are truly troublesome.”
Cheng Yishi sighed softly: “If we stay here for a few months or even years, we might become paranoid.”
Doing business with merchants and negotiating deals weren’t as “scary” as the power struggles between these women.
Resorting to violence and punishment at the slightest disagreement was truly unpredictable. Even those arrogant and domineering landlords weren’t this difficult to deal with.
Recalling last night’s experience, if it weren’t for Miss Lan’er’s intervention, she couldn’t imagine how they would have avoided that “beating.”
If it were just her who suffered, she might have endured it for Shuya’s sake, but she couldn’t bear to see Mao Ruoyu suffer as well.
Lin Tianlu chuckled, shaking his head, and took his wife’s soft hand: “These power struggles are indeed a headache. After this matter is settled, let’s leave this place and go to Lunar Valley, so we can see Martial Aunt and the others, it will be much more relaxing and comfortable.”
“Thank you for your consideration, my husband.”
Cheng Yishi brushed her hair and smiled softly: “But don’t forget to give Shuya an answer, otherwise, that girl will be caught in the middle, truly heartbreaking.”
“You and Ruoyu should rest well these next few days, you’ve been working hard, running around.” Lin Tianlu leaned closer and kissed her forehead: “I’ll take care of everything else and make sure everyone is satisfied.”
Cheng Yishi blushed slightly, a shy and delicate look on her face, her heart trembling.
Her eyes sparkled with passion as she wrapped her arms around him and chuckled: “My husband is becoming more and more like the head of the household, your words are truly reassuring.”
Feeling her soft and warm body, her increasingly voluptuous and mature figure melting in his arms like spring water, as if he was embracing a soft cloud.
Lin Tianlu wrapped his arms around his wife’s alluring waist, about to speak, when Cheng Yishi suddenly raised her finger and touched his lips, a look of intoxicated love in her eyes: “There’s no need to reassure me constantly, husband, just being by your side is enough. Seeing you so worried and concerned makes me feel guilty.”
Lin Tianlu looked down at his wife’s gentle and loving smile and murmured: “But if you’ve been wronged…”
“A caged bird has nothing but its body.”
Cheng Yishi’s eyes sparkled with affection as she gently caressed his chest and said softly: “I am your wife, husband, and we will spend our lives together, so naturally, I also have to bear some of the responsibilities. I can’t just close my eyes and leave everything to you.”
Although her words were simple and gentle, her gaze firm and filled with tenderness, Lin Tianlu’s heart warmed, and he embraced her tightly again.
Knock, knock, knock!
A knock suddenly came from the courtyard gate.
“Hmm?”
Lin Tianlu quickly came back to his senses and glanced sideways, his thoughts stirring, and he chuckled: “It seems the people from the mansion are finally here to ‘visit’.”
“…Tsk!”
Cheng Yishi, her face buried in his chest, frowned slightly, the sweet and happy expression vanishing, replaced by a cold and displeased look, her eyes crimson as if filled with bloodlust.
The atmosphere had been so perfect just now, her husband’s heart filled with love and tenderness, they were about to be intimate, and then these… insensitive and troublesome people—
