Jiang Xidai wasn’t awake for long. Yan Huirou’s body always had a warm osmanthus fragrance that relaxed one’s mind.
She hadn’t thought she would trust this little girl so much.
But her body, when tired, had given the answer first.
She fell asleep leaning on Yan Huirou’s shoulder.
Yan Huirou could feel the woman’s weight gradually relaxing against her, until she was as soft as if she had no bones.
She straightened her back from the weight, and when she looked to the side, she saw the woman’s much softer sleeping face. The murderous aura was gone, and she looked like a peach blossom blooming brightly in the spring, her long lashes down, but curled up with a charming flair.
With a light splash.
Yan Huirou wrapped her arms around her waist, and after turning around in the water, she did not wake Jiang Xidai.
While Jiang Xidai was sleeping, she carefully traced her face with her gaze again.
After staring for a long time, those vibrant features seemed to be imprinted on her eyelids. Even when she closed them, her vivid imprint remained.
The pain in her forehead struck again.
Just like every night before she went to sleep.
Yan Huirou was confused for a moment. She touched her forehead, and her heart always felt a little empty.
Perhaps it was because she had been in too much pain today.
Fortunately, the pain in her forehead only lasted for a moment, like a flash of lightning, leaving no trace.
“Sect Master?”
Suddenly, some footsteps were heard outside the door, and a question came from behind the screen. “I haven’t seen you all day. I have some matters here that need your decision—”
“Disciple will take my leave.”
Yan Huirou was stunned for a moment. This human voice had interrupted her excessive thoughts, and she couldn’t help but come back to her senses and look towards the door.
When Wen Xianyin came in, she saw such a grand scene—Miss Yan was soaking naked in the pool, with only her shoulders exposed. Jiang Xidai was embracing her, and the hazy red gauze in the water was entangled around both of them.
They were leaning against each other, almost whispering in each other’s ears, and she didn’t know what they were doing in the water.
Senior Sister Wen was also stunned for a moment. She hadn’t even taken a step forward before she retreated.
She only vaguely saw the Sect Master fainting in a hurry.
She turned and walked away. Just as she left Qionghua Hall, she ran into Bi Luo, who was looking for Miss Yan.
“Senior Sister Wen?” Bi Luo said strangely, “Miss Yan isn’t lost, is she? I haven’t seen her all day.”
“No, she’s with the Sect Master. You shouldn’t go in.”
“That’s good.” Bi Luo was a big-hearted person. Knowing that Yan Huirou hadn’t run away, she was relieved. She giggled a few times. “Senior Sister, do you have time to go out for a drink?”
“No. I have other things to do.”
Wen Xianyin fell silent. She felt like she had another job to do. Given the current situation, she always felt that it wasn’t particularly appropriate to have Yan Huirou stay in Bright Moon Pavilion—why not just let her live in Qionghua Hall?
The Sect Master didn’t say so, but it didn’t mean she didn’t want to.
If the Sect Master had to think for a long time before doing it, that would be a dereliction of duty for the senior disciple of the Shasheng Sect.
Besides, Yan Huirou was also a ruthless person. She looked gentle and weak, warm and obedient, but she had managed to tire the Sect Master to the point of sleeping—Wen Xianyin sighed in her heart.
Wen Xianyin reflected on her own attitude and recalled Yan Huirou’s past appearance. She always felt that she was getting old and that her judgment of people seemed to be not as clear as it used to be.
And so, she waited until Yan Huirou was dressed and came to look for her. Only then did Wen Xianyin pretend not to know anything and went back to the water to fish out their exhausted Sect Master, sending her back to Qionghua Hall to rest.
Jiang Xidai woke up for a while in the middle of her slumber, but she fell asleep again in Qionghua Hall.
When she slowly woke up again, she was lying in the bedchamber of Qionghua Hall. She felt a stuffy feeling in her chest, and she only slowly exhaled when she opened her eyes.
Tired.
So tired.
She really wanted to strangle that little troublemaker.
Why was it so difficult to make her cultivate?
A gentle voice sounded by her ear again, “You’re awake.”
There was a rustling sound for a while, and a porcelain bowl was placed on the cabinet by her bed.
Jiang Xidai turned over wearily. Her gaze hadn’t followed, but she had already smelled the sweet fragrance of fermented rice wine.
She sniffed for a moment, then looked up to see what was going on.
A porcelain bowl was placed peacefully on the side. Inside, a few cute little glutinous rice balls were floating, moving up and down with the gentle sway of the water.
“I went to learn how to make it,” Yan Huirou scooped one up and brought it to her lips. “I still don’t know how it tastes.”
Jiang Xidai was a little dazed from just waking up and was fed a small rice ball. Her lips parted, and the intoxicating fragrance filled her mouth. Yan Huirou seemed to have added some rock sugar inside, and it was so sweet that she even squinted her eyes slightly.
But the gaze on her face could not be ignored.
It was that expression again, and again—
Yan Huirou stared at her, even tilting her head slightly, her expression focused and gentle. She asked, “Is it good?”
Jiang Xidai propped herself up and sat up a little.
She was so sore all over that she was completely drained of strength. At least the sweetness in her mouth gave her some comfort.
But the moment this bowl of sweet rice balls reminded her of Yan Huirou, this comfort became a little unpleasant.
“Barely.”
The woman’s eyebrows were slightly raised, like the graceful rise and fall of distant mountains.
But her actions were—
She took the spoon and bowl from Yan Huirou as a matter of course and scooped up another one, as if she were disgusted by how slowly and troublesome Yan Huirou was feeding her.
But Yan Huirou was still staring at her with such focus. After staring for a long time, Jiang Xidai caught a glimpse of the little girl smiling from the corner of her eye.
Jiang Xidai’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
She didn’t understand what she was smiling about all day.
What, had being in so much pain not been enough to dampen this little girl’s optimistic attitude?
And now, a soft, fine handkerchief was suddenly held up to her, gently wiping away the glutinous rice grain stuck to the corner of her mouth. “How are you still like a child? You’re almost eating with your cheek.”
“…”
The woman’s hand holding the spoon paused. Her long lashes drooped, and she retreated a little, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She always felt that Yan Huirou was a little too maternal, which made her look a little strange.
“Can you achieve Qi Induction now?”
Not wanting to dwell on the current atmosphere, Sect Master Jiang casually started a new topic. She picked up her sleeve and gently dabbed the corner of her mouth.
This gesture made her look much more gentle.
“What?” The hateful little female lead thought for a long time, then said sincerely, “I don’t seem to have grasped the method yet. I’m not very good at it. The cultivation manual Senior Sister Wen gave me was a bit obscure and difficult to understand…”
Jiang Xidai’s gaze glanced over from the porcelain bowl. The moment it met Yan Huirou’s face, she squinted her eyes and gave her a sharp look.
What a heartless person. She was so enthusiastic about making sweet rice balls, but when it came to cultivation, she didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.
Jiang Xidai’s fingers came together and she pointed to a certain spot.
A cultivation manual flew over, like a bird falling from a treetop. It flapped its wings and, without any room for objection, landed in Yan Huirou’s arms.
Yan Huirou was startled by the impact. She saw clearly the few large, flamboyant characters on it.
She was stunned.
Emotion Burning Art?
Bi Luo had once told her about it.
The cultivation art that all the cultivators in the world were vying for, the ultimate technique that they would go to great lengths to snatch…
Sect Master Jiang had tossed it to her like a piece of trash, without even a second glance.
“This is a precious item. I…”
Yan Huirou said in surprise, “I’m not even a disciple of the sect. Why are you teaching me such an ultimate technique?”
“Ultimate technique?”
The woman finished the last mouthful of fermented rice wine, her fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the bowl. She seemed to still want more and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a cultivation manual. All cultivation manuals in the world are more or less the same. What’s so ultimate about it? It’s just that that group of fools don’t know how to reflect on themselves and just blame it on the cultivation manual.”
Thinking of this, Jiang Xidai’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile.
Even if she threw this cultivation manual on the street to sell now, no one would believe it.
So simple and plain, just an ordinary cultivation manual, that was the legendary Emotion Burning Art.
—After all, that demoness of the demonic sect was so heaven-defying. How could she have cultivated to such a level just by relying on her own aptitude?
The common people would not accept it.
The righteous Immortal Alliance could not accept it either.
After all, on the surface, it was a crusade against Jiang Xidai, but who didn’t know what they were really after?
They had invested too much blood, lost countless disciples, and had fought with each other in secret. They had spent so much effort, how could they easily accept such an outcome?
At the same time, this also meant that many dreams of reaching the heavens in a single step were shattered.
Even Zhan Ke didn’t believe her words and tried her best to get the cultivation manual from her.
Jiang Xidai was not a good person. Perhaps she could still be patient with Zhan Ke and explain it to her a thousand times, but for those fools outside—let them fight? Dead, injured? She would just watch the joke of those who called themselves righteous people.
“Yan Huirou, you can rest assured.”
If there’s really something good—
I won’t let a little girl like you take advantage of it first.
But to say that Jiang Xidai’s current skills had nothing to do with the Emotion Burning Art was not entirely true.
The name of this cultivation manual was quite domineering, but in reality, it was very “unadorned and unskillful.” It was a step-by-step, steady process, and almost all of the methods were strenuous.
It was very slow to cultivate, and one had to suffer a lot, but the foundation was very solid.
Jiang Xidai was not a patient person. If she had to choose, she probably wouldn’t practice such a thing.
But unfortunately, the person who had taught her back then, afraid that she couldn’t be controlled, had hidden things from her at every turn. In the end, she had only taught her this one, more clumsy and steady cultivation manual.
But in the end, she still couldn’t be controlled.
They had all become ghosts under her hand.

When Jiang Xidai came back to her senses, she was met with Yan Huirou’s rather moved gaze.
Those eyes were soft and bright, as clear as a stream flowing in the spring.
“Sect Master Jiang.” Yan Huirou stood up and held the cultivation manual to her heart. She asked in a gentle voice, “Then this cultivation manual, will you teach me?”
Jiang Xidai raised her eyes lazily. “Do I look like I have a lot of free time?”
“Let Wen Xianyin do it.”
