On the top floor of Phoenix Pavilion, the moment the doors of the Hundred Spirits Pavilion closed, Yino couldn’t help but wave his arms and let out a relaxed sigh.
But thinking that he hadn’t personally confirmed Yunjin’s whereabouts yet, Yino quickened his steps downstairs.
However, the atmosphere inside the hall wasn’t so cheerful.
“Pavilion Master…”
In the corner, Jin Jie looked at the silent red-robed girl behind the curtain, her tone becoming somewhat cautious and probing.
“You, you really scared me just now!”
“That unfilial boy, he even shoved a dagger into your mouth! Such dangerous behavior, yet you signaled me not to interfere…”
“Even if he’s your little nephew, you’re spoiling him too much! He should be taught a lesson to remember!”
Jin Jie recalled the previous scene. Even though Xinyao wasn’t hurt, just thinking about it was frightening.
What if that spoiled young master had been careless and really cut the Pavilion Master’s face?
“You also think I was pretending to be held hostage?”
Behind the curtain, the red-robed girl sighed, collapsing tiredly onto the long chair.
Due to Jie’s reminder, Xinyao closed her eyes, and her ears couldn’t help but recall that cold, disgusted bitch again.
Suddenly, Xinyao’s phoenix eyes snapped open. She pressed her hand against her chest, but even so, after a moment Xinyao’s body still couldn’t help but tremble and convulse.
“Pavilion Master, just keep indulging him.”
Jie didn’t take Xinyao’s rhetorical question to heart at all, naturally assuming that Xinyao had intentionally tolerated him.
Behind the curtain, Xinyao also felt helpless as she rubbed her temples.
“Forget it, you don’t understand.”
Seeing how much the other party trusted her, Xinyao was too lazy to explain.
The true feeling of being stared at with killing intent by Yino was something only Xinyao could know from personal experience.
At that time, she thought she understood Yino’s capabilities well, so she didn’t take it seriously at first. But when Xinyao let her guard down for two seconds and became alert again, Yino had already appeared behind her. Before Xinyao could react, an arm had already tightly choked her neck.
To be honest, Xinyao was almost choked senseless at that moment.
Her first sensation was being unable to breathe. The sudden deadly danger made Xinyao’s heart race violently, and her head went blank from the impact, completely in an unconscious state as she was pinned down by Yino. Such terrifying movement and technique was rarely encountered even by Xinyao who had roamed the Western Regions for years!
Of course, besides Yino’s bizarre movement technique, it might also be because Yino’s true strength was too different from Xinyao’s stereotypical impression.
If Xinyao had been on guard against him from the beginning, Yino probably wouldn’t have had two or three seconds to use illusion techniques to get close!
Besides this, there was another point that Xinyao was quite concerned about, which was the black and red scaled arm armor on Yino’s arm at that time, as well as the eerie appearance of black and red light shadows along his arteries! This was clearly not a technique Xinyao had taught him, and it was even less likely to be immortal arts taught by the righteous maiden Yuyan.
-So… How many more secrets was Yino hiding?-
-All these years, how exactly had he been secretly cultivating under my nose?-
“Jin Jie.”
Thinking of this, Xinyao suddenly spoke.
In the corner of the hall, the black-clothed woman slightly raised her eyebrows, turning into a purple butterfly shadow appearing behind the curtain, kneeling on one knee.
“Pavilion Master, what are your orders?”
“Be happy, you have a new mission. You don’t need to slack off in Phoenix Pavilion every day anymore.”
Xinyao slightly pursed her lips, looking down at Jin Jie’s purple demon eyes.
The latter’s heart immediately leapt with joy, her demon eyes flashing with an extremely cold ferocious light as she obediently lowered her gaze: “Who does the Pavilion Master want to kill?”
“Kill that little pervert–”
Xinyao followed Jin Jie’s words halfway before suddenly coming to her senses. She hurriedly sat up, leaning forward to pinch the black-clothed woman’s cheeks with both hands.
“Kill kill kill! little Jie, when did you become a crazy woman who only thinks about killing people?”
“It’s not whahaagn…”
While her cheeks pinched, she could only let out cute moans that didn’t match her image.
After Xinyao had pinched enough, she knelt at the girl’s feet, spreading her brows somewhat helplessly: “Pavilion Master, it’s not that I enjoy killing. It’s just that in this black market, the bounties for killing are always the most lucrative.”
“Moreover, I still need to treat my sister’s illness…”
Towards the end, the black-clothed woman lowered her eyelids, somewhat helplessly.
Xinyao stared at her, narrowing her phoenix eyes, also recalling a certain little girl who worked the night shift every day at the Immortal Alliance tavern.
She smiled lightly, her brows relaxing, and took out a package full of black ore from her bosom and handed it to Jin Jie:
“You’ve probably killed enough people over these years, I am afraid that if you go berserk one day, how will I explain it to Jin Yu?”
“Moreover, Western Province City has been quite peaceful lately, and you’ve already been resting at Phoenix Pavilion for a few months…”
“So, this time, I am giving you a task where you can easily make money without killing. Are you willing to accept?”
As Xinyao finished speaking, her jade foot under her dress started swaying again.
At the same time, the melodious sound of bells rang out once more.
Jin Jie hugged the bag of black ore, hurriedly lowering her head and nodding: “Whatever the master wishes, I will not refuse!”
“Good, then pack your bags tonight, and also say goodbye to Jin Yu… Tomorrow morning, you’ll secretly follow Yino back to Wuji Sect!”
“Huh?”
“What ‘huh’? I only have two requirements for you, listen carefully!”
“Ah…”
“First, protect Yino and don’t let him die; second, send reports on Yino’s daily schedule every day.”
“!?? just that!?”
…
“The Hundred Spirits Pavilion Master has already arranged for us to stay at Phoenix Pavilion tonight.”
“Wangxue, Yunjin, if you want to eat anything else, just order it yourself. Put it on the Pavilion Master’s tab upstairs…”
In the luxurious private room on the seventh floor, Yino took off his coat, swallowed various pills from his storage ring all at once, then skillfully handed a menu to the two ahoge girls in front of him. Yunjin had already eaten until her belly was round, so in the latter half it became just Wangxue wolfing down food.
“Young Master, did your talk go smoothly?”
At some point, Yunjin hugged Yino’s coat that had been thrown on the sofa, and naturally followed Yino all the way to the bathroom.
Yino stood at the bathroom door, intending to continue undressing, but now seeing Yunjin, he immediately stopped.
He turned his head, took a deep breath, then silently stared at the ahoge girl’s innocent big eyes.
For a moment, Yunjin blushed, feeling at a loss.
“What, what’s wrong… is there something on my face…”
The girl unconsciously lowered her head.
For an instant, two sensations flashed through Yino’s mind.
First, was what he had said before, don’t let down a good girl.
Second, was the brief feeling of despair he had just experienced in the Hundred Spirits Pavilion.
Now…
Time was peaceful, and the little senior sister he had most regretted in his previous life was healthy and standing before him with a blushing face.
This scene made Yino unable to distinguish between reality and the game.
“Yunjin, do you think the current you is still the real you?” Continue your saga on
Yino said while continuing to undress.
“What, what do you mean?”
Yunjin blinked in surprise, neither understanding what Yino was saying, nor why he suddenly started undressing.
Yino took off his sweat-soaked shirt, then seeing the coat in Yunjin’s arms, he naturally put his dress shirt in Yunjin’s arms as well.
Suddenly, Yunjin was holding more and more dirty clothes, her expression slightly bewildered, wondering how she had unknowingly almost become Yino’s little maid!
“Young, Young Master, do you want me to wash these clothes?”
Yunjin’s little face was red to the ears, but she still carefully probed.
After taking off his upper body clothes, Yino’s gaze calmly fell on Yunjin again:
“Yunjin, I’m worried you’re an impostor, and the real Yunjin is already dead.”
“But… Yunjin is Yunjin! Yino, don’t scare me, what happened there?”
Suddenly, Yunjin became anxious, hugging a pile of clothes, almost scared to tears by Yino’s cold gaze.
Seeing her reaction so sensitive, Yino’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile:
“Then, kiss me once now to prove you’re real… and if you can prove you’re not an impostor, then I won’t make you wash clothes. After all, I can’t bear to let the real Senior do such rough work.”
“Eh… eh eh?!!”
