Chapter 116: Liu Yansheng VS Qian Bingxue

Moreover, the reason did not lie with her.

“Isn’t it good enough? As long as I show these two tokens, no one dares to touch me.” Ye Wenxin smiled and naturally accepted this title.

“Do you know how precious these tokens are in Shura Hall?” Third Senior Sister Liu Yansheng had a more unpleasant expression. Seeing the junior sisters still watching the excitement, she hurriedly pulled Ye Wenxin aside and earnestly explained the importance of these tokens to her.

They not only symbolized identity but also represented a Shura Hall disciple’s commitment to their Dao partner.

The more Ye Wenxin listened, the more uncanny her expression became. She glanced at Third Senior Sister Liu Yansheng several times but still showed no signs of remorse.

“So, you’ve casually thrown away your whole life to me like this.”

“What are you saying? Although I threw it away casually, my heart is sincere.” Liu Yansheng was somewhat angry and dissatisfied with Ye Wenxin’s choice of words and attitude.

“Oh, then I’ll give it back to you now.” Ye Wenxin waited for the right moment and once again handed over the two tokens, saying with a very troubled expression, “This Junior Sister still can’t accept your heavy affection.”

Liu Yansheng looked at the tokens being handed back to her again, feeling momentarily happy, but then she realized something was wrong. Ye Wenxin seemed to be considering them, but in reality, she never intended to take the tokens in the first place, using retreat as an advance.

If Liu Yansheng had not been a bit more astute, she would have been deceived by Ye Wenxin by now.

“No, Junior Sister’s heart is as clear as day and night (obvious/self-evident) to me.” Liu Yansheng pushed the tokens back to Ye Wenxin, pretending to be loving.

Ye Wenxin and Liu Yansheng locked eyes, continuing their ‘loving’ charade.

One second, two seconds…

After about three minutes, Liu Yansheng felt her face itching and could not help but scratch it, saying discontentedly, “If you have the ability, keep pretending.”

However, Ye Wenxin, seeing that Liu Yansheng had given up the loving gaze, immediately took her hand and said, “My sincerity towards Senior Sister is as clear as day and night.”

The words sounded familiar, and Liu Yansheng was flustered, but then she realized she had just said the same thing. Instead of dominating the girl, she found her head was a mess.

“Alright, I concede. I’ll take back these tokens for now. When you want them, ask me for them.” Liu Yansheng had to give up. Clearly, even as a Demon, she found herself unable to handle Ye Wenxin.

Finally dropping the act, Ye Wenxin handed the two tokens back to Liu Yansheng straightforwardly, smiling as she warned, “Senior Sister, trying to conquer me with these little tricks won’t work.”

Liu Yansheng could not help but roll her eyes. Apparently, all her efforts to show off just now could only be labeled as ‘little tricks’. But little did she know, that even her half-master, Liu Churan, was no match for Ye Wenxin. In front of her disciple’s disciple, Ye Wenxin appeared indifferent.

“So, Junior Sister, what do you think would be considered a clever strategy?” Liu Yansheng was unconvinced, but she suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued to inquire.

“I think…,” Ye Wenxin elongated her tone, then released her Charm technique. Liu Yansheng felt a moment of dizziness.

When Liu Yansheng regained her senses, she found herself lying in Ye Wenxin’s arms, even her hidden tail and ears were revealed. What was worse, Liu Yansheng’s body was burning up, as if her whole soul was on fire.

Looking at Ye Wenxin, whose face was not exceptionally beautiful, there was a hint of a smile on her lips. But in Liu Yansheng’s eyes, she had become the most beautiful woman in the world, so beautiful that it made her heart tremble, making her willing to give everything, even surrendering her Demon Core to her, just to have Ye Wenxin’s gaze stay on her a few more seconds.

“Senior Sister, how do you feel now?” Ye Wenxin looked at the dazed look in Liu Yansheng’s eyes, her lips curling slightly as she inquired about Liu Yansheng’s thoughts on being Charmed.

“What did you do to me?” Liu Yansheng asked back.

“I just did to you what you did to me a moment ago,” Ye Wenxin replied with a smile. During their eye contact just now, Liu Yansheng had been using her Charm.

But even after exhausting her eyes, Ye Wenxin remained unaffected. Liu Yansheng had no idea of Ye Wenxin’s incredible willpower; all her mental attacks were completely ineffective. And now, she was being affected by Ye Wenxin instead.

“Who…the hell are you?”

“I don’t ask who you are, why do you ask who I am?” Ye Wenxin responded this way, leaving Liu Yansheng speechless. She pushed Ye Wenxin gently and slowly came out of her embrace, her expression still quite complicated.

Initially, Ye Wenxin was transparent, but with Liu Yansheng’s contact, she found herself increasingly unfamiliar with Ye Wenxin.

“Alright, remember to return the other token to Senior Sister Qian. Although I appreciate your kindness, I, Ye Wenxin, am not so fragile that I need to use such tokens to maintain my innocence.” Ye Wenxin’s final admonition was both a warning and a threat.

Liu Yansheng pursed her lips and finally left with the two tokens.

It seemed that being Charmed by Ye Wenxin had greatly affected her. Ye Wenxin thought that Liu Yansheng would not come to bother her for a while.

Looking at the distant backwoods, Ye Wenxin pondered for a moment before continuing to roam the area, familiarizing herself with the terrain, and waiting for Zhao Teddy to come in the night……

Meanwhile, Liu Yansheng felt dejected. Her prided looks and Charm were all disparaged as worthless by Ye Wenxin, leaving her deeply affected. Now, she felt she had to bully a few people to balance out her sadness.

Looking at the extra Qian Bingxue token in her hand, a smirk appeared on Liu Yansheng’s lips.

After a while, Liu Yansheng found Qian Bingxue meditating.

Still clad in white, cool and unrivaled, Qian Bingxue barely glanced at Liu Yansheng’s presence before closing her eyes and continuing her meditation.

“Head Senior Sister, so this is where you are.” Liu Yansheng was accustomed to Qian Bingxue’s cold attitude. Seeing Qian Bingxue ignore her, she did not mind and sat down beside her casually.

Since Qian Bingxue did not respond, Liu Yansheng began muttering to herself.

“Ah, that Junior Sister Ye is really something. Asking me to deliver things to you, doesn’t she know we’re not on good terms?”

Qian Bingxue remained motionless, either she was listening or she was completely indifferent to Liu Yansheng’s words.

“What do you think she sent you?” Liu Yansheng continued, and though Qian Bingxue maintained her meditative pose, there was a subtle change in her aura, indicating some interest.

“Why don’t you open your eyes and see what Junior Sister Ye sent you?” Liu Yansheng kept pressing her attack, encouraging Qian Bingxue to open her eyes again.

Despite feeling somewhat helpless, Qian Bingxue was curious about what Ye Wenxin had sent her. Slowly, she opened her eyes, but apart from Liu Yansheng’s face, there was nothing in front of her.

“Third Junior Sister, do you want to spar?” Qian Bingxue showed a hint of displeasure, regretting listening to Liu Yansheng’s words and opening her eyes, only to be teased.

“I’m not in the mood to play with you today. Here, I brought this for you.” Liu Yansheng pretended to be mysterious and quietly slipped Qian Bingxue’s token into her hand, then watched her expression intently.

Qian Bingxue lifted the token and glanced at it before looking back at Liu Yansheng. “Did you deceive it from Junior Sister?”

Liu Yansheng had expected to see some emotional reaction from Qian Bingxue, but her voice remained cold. She even felt that the token was not given to her by Ye Wenxin, but rather Liu Yansheng had snatched it.

“Senior Sister, do you see me as such a deceitful person?” Liu Yansheng was at a loss, and ironically, as soon as she finished her sentence, Qian Bingxue nodded without hesitation.

Liu Yansheng felt a bit angry, but upon reflection of her everyday actions, she realized she might have been a bit too much at times. She continued, “Ah, Junior Sister Ye is really something. To obtain my token, she was willing to exchange it with yours. I originally refused, but as you know, Junior Sister Ye is important to our Shura Hall. I had no choice but to give her the token.”

Liu Yansheng began to weave a plausible story, but Qian Bingxue remained unmoved, her gaze fixed on the token, showing no signs of joy or sorrow.

“So, I gave her my token, and in return, she gave me yours, asking me to return it to you.” Liu Yansheng felt it was not enough and continued to fan the flames. She thought Qian Bingxue would be ignited by her words, but instead, she just glanced at the token again, nodded, and then put it away in her bag of holding.

Liu Yansheng found it hard to believe. Even if Qian Bingxue had no feelings towards Ye Wenxin, the return of the token should have made her lose face, or even angry. But now, Qian Bingxue’s cold attitude made Liu Yansheng feel like a buffoon.

“Head Senior Sister, you’re so patient. If it was my token returned, I would definitely beat her up.”

“That’s you. This token was originally lent to her, since she already has yours as proof, she doesn’t need mine anymore.” Qian Bingxue’s attitude remained indifferent as she resumed her meditative pose.

Liu Yansheng became even more resentful but could not vent her anger at Qian Bingxue and had to leave in frustration.

Qian Bingxue, with her closed eyes, watched Liu Yansheng’s retreating figure and then opened her eyes again. She took out the token from her bag of holding.

There was a hint of emotion in her icy gaze, but it was too faint to discern its true meaning. She clenched her fist, intending to destroy the token, but felt someone approaching her.

Qian Bingxue was startled but saw that Shura Hall’s Hall Master had appeared in front of her. She showed more expressions, respectfully bowing to the Hall Master, “Disciple Qian Bingxue pays respects to Master.”

Shura Hall’s Hall Master remained expressionless as she stared at the token, saying slowly, “If she doesn’t want it, keep it until she does.”

Qian Bingxue was startled, but when she looked again, there was no trace of Shura Hall’s Hall Master around. After a few seconds of contemplation, Qian Bingxue bowed to the empty hall and squeezed out a sentence from her clenched teeth.

“Yes, Disciple will follow Master’s teachings.” The only response she received was an empty echo, as if Shura Hall’s Hall Master had never appeared at all.
