The night was like water. Misty Peak was still cold, a full moon hanging high. The occasional snowflakes drifting down appeared somewhat pale under the moonlight.
Luo Tangtang shivered and silently walked towards where Yun Shayi lived.
Yun Shayi had always been simple. Her dwelling, while called a residence, was more like a few small bamboo houses.
Now, a bright lamp was lit inside the small bamboo house, standing out prominently in the vast white landscape.
Luo Tangtang, as usual, wanted to run into Yun Shayi’s room first to cause a ruckus before being driven back to her own room by the other woman.
But after only a few steps forward, reaching the doorway, she heard sounds coming from Yun Shayi’s room, as if objects were being smashed on the ground.
Luo Tangtang’s heart stirred. Just as she reached out to push the door open, she was interrupted by the system’s voice.
[Today is the night of the full moon!] the system said.
The full moon! Luo Tangtang suddenly looked into the distance. That bright, round moon shone clearly on the mountain peak, the moonlight hazy.
[What should I do then?] Luo Tangtang suddenly felt a bit split. Her mind was incredibly excited, but a sense of powerlessness surged from deep within her heart.
As if possessed by a ghost, she reached out her hand—to push?
Huh? Why can’t I push it open?
“Don’t come in!” Yun Shayi’s slightly hoarse voice came, making Luo Tangtang’s mind suddenly clear. She quickly stepped back a few steps, feeling a bit panicked.
[Alright, your little senior sister has locked the door tight. She won’t let you in.] the system said regretfully.
However, after a moment, it continued offering ideas. [How about you just break in, get it done first, and then talk?]
The system chuckled twice. [This is a great opportunity to deepen your relationship right now!]
[Shut up!] Luo Tangtang’s face darkened. Suddenly, her head hurt even more.
“Creak!” The door was suddenly pushed open.
Luo Tangtang saw the person standing at the doorway and couldn’t help but shiver.
She spoke weakly, “Senior Sister!”
Yun Shayi’s eyes were somewhat red at this moment, scattered and unfocused, clearly having completely lost her reason.
Looking at Luo Tangtang, intense obsession immediately appeared in Yun Shayi’s eyes.
“Whoa!” Luo Tangtang quickly leaped away. “Senior Sister, calm down!”
Yun Shayi paid no heed. Looking at Luo Tangtang running across the snowy ground, a trace of confusion appeared on her flushed cheeks, which then instantly turned blank. She only knew to chase after Luo Tangtang relentlessly.
Luo Tangtang was practically in tears. The whip she’d received from the Desire Whip still hurt, and her cultivation was originally inferior to Yun Shayi’s. It wasn’t long before she was tackled to the ground by her.
Misty Peak was still snowing, the cold wind biting. On the vast white ground, two figures intertwined.
“Senior Sister, calm down first.” Luo Tangtang struggled to push away Yun Shayi’s face. Her wound was pulled, and Luo Tangtang gasped in pain.
Yun Shayi, at this moment, didn’t care about anything. She kept using her red lips to leave kiss marks on Luo Tangtang’s face and neck.
“Don’t take off my clothes!”
Before long, Yun Shayi seemed no longer satisfied with just kissing. Her hands began to tear at Luo Tangtang’s clothes.
Luo Tangtang instantly became alert and hastily resisted.
[System, hurry and help! What are you frozen for?]
System: “…”
[See no evil!]
Luo Tangtang: “…” She really wanted to swear.
Suddenly, the person on top of her’s movements abruptly weakened. Cold liquid dripped onto her face.
“Senior Sister!” Luo Tangtang froze.
Yun Shayi lay slumped over, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes seemed filled with immense grief, and her entire body was trembling.
“Go quickly!” Yun Shayi suddenly got off Luo Tangtang. She staggered and fled in panic, but after only a few steps, she abruptly turned back.
“Don’t appear before me!” Yun Shayi’s eyes were crimson, and her cold face held a hint of ferocity.
Luo Tangtang pursed her lips. Looking at the disheveled Yun Shayi, her heart felt as if it was being pricked with needles. A dense, widespread pain spread through her, leaving her body numb and unable to move.
Seeing that Luo Tangtang wasn’t moving, Yun Shayi couldn’t suppress the restlessness in her heart any longer. She roared, “Go quickly!”
Heaven knew how much she yearned for this person before her, wanting to hold her, to possess her.
Once this thought appeared, it quickly overwhelmed her mind. Yun Shayi’s eyes became hazy again, so she followed her heart closely and fiercely embraced the person opposite her.
“Senior Sister, don’t be scared!” Luo Tangtang looked at Yun Shayi holding her tightly in her embrace and gently stroked her back, soothing her.
When the Spring Fever Bind acted up, it was extremely painful. Even without intimacy, her presence could soothe Yun Shayi and alleviate her pain.
The misty cold pool, shrouded in fog.
Luo Tangtang squatted beside the cold pool, her teeth chattering, watching the figure in the center of the pool intently.
[Is this okay?] Luo Tangtang felt like she was about to freeze into an ice pop. She hastily took out a rabbit fur cloak from her storage ring and wrapped herself in it.
[Haven’t you already fed her essence blood?]
The system glanced at the new wound that had appeared on Luo Tangtang’s hand. [If you don’t… well, you can only do it this way.] the system said with a laugh.
Luo Tangtang’s face darkened. [Can we be more refined? The collision of soul and body, you make it sound so crude.]
The system immediately rolled its eyes and reminded her, [It’s midnight. You can go down now.]
Luo Tangtang turned her head to look at the moon in the sky, big and round. Her expression turned mournful, but she still stepped into the cold pool.
“Hiss—it’s really cold!”
Walking to the center of the cold pool, Luo Tangtang pulled Yun Shayi into her embrace and channeled spiritual energy into her.
During midnight, the Spring Fever Bind‘s effects were strongest. Relying solely on the cold pool and essence blood was far from enough. Luo Tangtang could only continuously transmit spiritual energy to her.
Feeling like I’m about to be drained dry! She didn’t know how much time had passed. Luo Tangtang’s lips turned pale, no longer as rosy as before.
Once she stopped inputting spiritual energy, the spiritual energy within Yun Shayi would rampage. She didn’t know how long she had been there exactly. Her vision gradually blurred, and she lost consciousness.
Luo Tangtang was woken up by the system.
She felt as if she had been hollowed out, her entire body exceptionally tired. She used a lot of effort to barely open her eyes.
The sky was completely blue. For some reason, Luo Tangtang felt a little relieved. She had thought she would be completely drained.
“?” Luo Tangtang lifted her fingertips and fumbled around aimlessly. Stone?
She remembered she was clearly in the cold pool. Where was Yun Shayi?
Only then did Luo Tangtang realize that she seemed to have been placed on the rock beside the cold pool. Where did Yun Shayi go?
“Tsk!” Sitting up with difficulty, [Where’s Yun Shayi?]
The system chuckled a couple of times. [Just carried you onto the rock and then left. Your wound is also bandaged up~ Now, who knows where she went?]
“Is that so!” Luo Tangtang pursed the corners of her lips. She glanced at her right shoulder; the pain there was no longer obvious. Then, she struggled to get up, ready to leave.
[Tangtang, where are you going?]
Luo Tangtang paused. “Back, back to where I live.”
[What?!] The system’s incredulous voice rang out.
“She probably doesn’t want to see me right now. She… she’s such a proud person.” Luo Tangtang’s voice seemed a bit low.
“It’s better if we both calm down a bit,” Luo Tangtang said.
She was just a little worried. The Spring Fever Bind‘s medicinal properties were too strong; Yun Shayi couldn’t resist them at all. Otherwise, Yun Shayi wouldn’t have sought death multiple times in the original work.
The original work? Wait! A flash of insight exploded in Luo Tangtang’s mind.
[System, where is the Snow Qionghua?]
[Snow Qionghua?] The system was surprised.
In the original work, when Jun Chuxi had imprisoned Yun Shayi, the Spring Fever Bind had also acted up.
At that time, Jun Chuxi couldn’t even get close to Yun Shayi. It was only by chance that Jun Chuxi learned a disciple had discovered a Snow Qionghua within a secluded small mountain peak in the Extreme North Secret Realm.
The Snow Qionghua could clear the Sea of Consciousness. In the end, only after Yun Shayi consumed it could she barely maintain her composure on the night of the full moon.
Luo Tangtang’s eyes lit up slightly. [System, you definitely know the exact location of the Snow Qionghua, right?!]
[Tangtang.] The system was silent for a moment before speaking. [Don’t you like Yun Shayi? Why are you still helping Yun Shayi resist the medicinal effects? Why are you still leaving now?]
Hearing this, Luo Tangtang was startled. After a long time, she murmured to herself, “Perhaps, what I want is Yun Shayi, that spirited, stunningly talented sect senior sister.”
