Chapter 6: Dying Under the Peony, Even as a Ghost, It’s Romantic
The reason why Lin Fengmian acted this way was not only because he didn’t want to implicate Xia Yunxi; more importantly, he knew that he couldn’t escape.
Xia Yunxi was still too naive, unaware of the intricacies. How could a mere Qi Condensation cultivator like him escape?
During this period, not only had Lin Fengmian discovered the sinister nature of the Joyful Union Sect, but everyone who did so was inevitably caught and brought back.
Lin Fengmian had even buried their desiccated bodies, the horrifying scenes were indescribable.
He didn’t want to end up like them.
Xia Yunxi still wanted to convince him, but soon they arrived at the Crimson Phoenix Peak, where there were many eyes and ears.
She could only follow behind Lin Fengmian, her heart filled with complex emotions.
They reached Liu Mei’s Red Lotus Courtyard, and Lin Fengmian walked in, while Xia Yunxi reached out to grab his sleeve, her eyes filled with reluctance.
Lin Fengmian gently pulled her hand away and smiled, “Come back in an hour.”
Xia Yunxi knew that an hour later, she might find Lin Fengmian’s lifeless body.
She was about to say something, but at that moment, the door suddenly opened, revealing the seductive and scantily clad Senior Sister Liu, who looked at the two of them in confusion.
“Junior Sister Xia , why are you here? Are you here to observe?”
Xia Yunxi quickly shook her head; she had always avoided such scenes, let alone witnessing Senior Brother Lin’s.
She didn’t want to see Senior Brother Lin in such a state, so she whispered, “I was just passing by, I’ll leave now.”
“Since you’re here, why don’t you watch? With your talent, it won’t be long before you reach that stage,” Liu Mei chuckled.
Taking the initiative, Lin Fengmian wrapped his arm around Liu Mei’s waist and laughed heartily, “Senior Sister, I don’t want an audience.”
“Let’s go! A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold!”
Liu Mei gave him a sidelong glance and sulked, “Oh, you’re enlightened today?”
Xia Yunxi watched as Lin Fengmian joked with Liu Mei while slowly closing the door, separating the two of them.
She felt an empty void in her heart, wanting to say something, but unable to find the words, so she turned around and left in a fluster.
After entering the room, Lin Fengmian closed the door with a heavy heart.
Liu Mei walked gracefully towards the bed, taking off her clothes on the way, revealing her seductive and alluring body.
Lin Fengmian turned around and looked at the beautiful body he had never dared to face directly, his mind surprisingly calm.
Liu Mei’s every move was full of temptation, half undressing and waving a finger at him.
She smiled seductively, “Why are you standing there? Didn’t you say that a moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold? Come here!”
“I’m afraid it would be romantic even if I died under the peony blossoms and became a ghost.” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
Liu Mei giggled, “You little rascal, what are you thinking? Sister just wants to play with you, do you really think I would absorb your essence?”
“Isn’t that right?”
Lin Fengmian said seriously, “I have buried so many senior and junior brothers, I naturally know Senior Sister’s abilities.”
Liu Mei gave Lin Fengmian a flirtatious glance and smiled seductively, “Whether it is or not, won’t you find out if you try?”
“According to what you said, since you are going to die anyway, wouldn’t it be good for you to spend a night with me before you die? Dying under the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is still romantic.”
Lin Fengmian said seriously, “Junior brother doesn’t want to die yet. I hope Senior Sister will show mercy. From now on, I will follow Senior Sister’s lead and serve you tirelessly.”
He still didn’t want to reveal too many cards; convincing Liu Mei was always better than seducing her.
“You little rascal, you have a sweet tongue,” Liu Mei laughed, suddenly reaching out and grabbing Lin Fengmian, who was powerless to resist as he was pulled over.
She pressed Lin Fengmian onto the bed with her soft body, leaned down and lightly blew on him.
Lin Fengmian only smelled a refreshing scent, and then an uncontrollable desire burned within him.
His eyes turned crimson and his hands instinctively wrapped around Liu Mei.
There was something wrong with that scent!
Liu Mei giggled, her breath like orchids, “But today, sister has taken a liking to you; just submit to me.”
Her delicate hands unfastened his clothes and gently caressed his chest, and she exclaimed in surprise, “I didn’t expect you, who usually looks so skinny, to be so sturdy.”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes were blurred, almost drowning in the irresistible urge, struggling to maintain his sanity.
“Senior Sister, are you really going to make a move on me?”
“Don’t worry, Little Fengmian, Sister will make you feel like you’re in heaven and hell.”
Liu Mei chuckled as her small hand moved over him.
She suddenly exclaimed: “I didn’t know you were such a hidden talent. I like you so much~”
Lin Fengmian gasped, startled.
Liu Mei, soft as silk, lay on top of him and murmured, “Come, let sister love you well.”
As if to confirm her words, drops of slippery liquid fell on his thigh.
Lin Fengmian looked down and suddenly understood the poem.
“How can the water be so clear? Because there is a spring of fresh water.”
This wondrous sight of clear water flowing over stones opened his eyes and he took a sharp breath, almost losing his mind.
Indeed, reading about it is shallow, but experiencing it firsthand is profound.
Just as Lin Fengmian was about to stand up and attack, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his chest.
It was the pendant that had burned him, bringing back a bit of his sanity.
He knew that if he really gave in, it would be a real death and not a heavenly and hellish experience.
He bit his tongue, a gush of blood spreading in his mouth, and shouted, “Senior Sister Liu, are you really going to make a move on me? Aren’t you afraid of offending Senior Aunt Xie Yuyan?”
Hearing the name of Xie Yuyan, Liu Mei’s hands paused but didn’t let go, curiously asking, “What is your relationship with her?”
Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t say, but you should know that I’m very important to her. If you dare to touch me, she won’t let you go.”
Liu Mei leaned against Lin Fengmian, her hands still moving, and laughed, “Junior Brother Fengmian , do you think I’ll believe you?”
“She has long forgotten you, otherwise why would she have ignored you for years?”
Lin Fengmian gasped and said, “Don’t you believe me? Look at this!”
He quickly cast the spell with one hand; luckily, the spell could be cast with one hand, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Liu Mei was initially disdainful, but a terrifying sword aura surged out from the pendant on Lin Fengmian’s chest.
The sharp sword aura stabbed her skin painfully.
Her face changed drastically, and she exerted force with her hand. Lin Fengmian almost trembled and shuddered.
“Sister Liu, please let go, let go!”
Liu Mei slowly let go and sat up straight, ignoring her exposed spring light and staring blankly at the double fish pendant on his chest.
She stared at Lin Fengmian’s chest, and Lin Fengmian stared at hers as well, so they were even.
“Do you believe me now? This is the pendant that Senior Aunt Xie gave me for self-defense before she closed off for cultivation! Don’t force me to fully activate it!”
Liu Mei’s seductive expression completely disappeared as she coldly asked, “What exactly is your relationship with Senior Aunt Xie?”
