Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 109

Originally, she didn't want to go over to strangers, but somehow she felt that there was something about this young man that attracted her, so she approached him.

She carefully examined Ling Yun. Although she hadn't seen many men, she secretly believed that there were probably few men in the world more handsome than him, and he exuded an endless charm that made her want to explore him further.

She crouched down and placed her finger in front of Lingyun's nose, only able to feel extremely faint breathing.

She waved a white silk ribbon, rolled up Lingyun, and led him into the ancient tomb. The cave gate then slowly closed again.

Ling Yun was initially pretending to be dead, but after realizing that the bees wouldn't attack him, he asked Xiao Na to keep an eye out for him while he entered a deep sleep to quickly heal his injuries.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a cold stone bed. The interior was dark and gloomy, with only the luminous pearls embedded in the stone walls serving as the source of light, making it very dim.

"Nana, where am I?"

[The master was taken to a cave by a mysterious girl!]

Mysterious girl, cave?

Ling Yun carefully surveyed his surroundings. Just as he put his feet on the ground and was about to go out to take a look, a girl in white walked over.

"Are you awake?"

The girl handed him a jar of honey: "You've been unconscious for two days, you must be hungry. Eat something first."

Ling Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the girl's appearance, but he still accepted the honey without showing any emotion: "Thank you, young lady. My name is Ling Yun. I do not know your name."

"My surname is Long."

The girl's voice carried a hint of coldness, but it wasn't intentional; it was just her nature.

Name: Long Bixia

Age: 20, ☆

[Value: 165, D]

[Rating: 97]

[Combat Strength: A-]

[Affection: Falling in Love (Beautiful and Friendly Attraction Up+)]

Upon seeing this familiar name, Ling Yun immediately realized that the girl in front of him was Xiaolongnu of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and also Li Mochou's junior sister!

"So it's Miss Long. Thank you for saving me."

"You're quite a strange person." Little Dragon Girl sat on a stone bench not far from him, her expression calm but with a hint of curiosity. "You suffered such severe internal injuries, yet you recovered quickly without needing any medicine, and even bees didn't sting you?"

"This...maybe it's just luck."

Xiaolongnu didn't ask any further questions. She gracefully stood up and said softly, "Now that you're awake, you can leave. Our Ancient Tomb Sect cannot take in men."

“Miss Long, I am burdened with a blood feud and have been ambushed by my enemies. In my current state, going out would probably mean certain death. I hope you can take me in for a while longer. As soon as my injuries are fully healed, I will leave immediately and will never break my promise!”

"Are you a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect?" Xiaolongnu suddenly asked.

"Does the girl know?" he asked ambiguously.

Xiaolongnu nodded slightly: "The Quanzhen Sect was wiped out. I went to see it out of curiosity a couple of days ago and found that some of the corpses died in a gruesome manner. It might be related to my senior sister... Of course, if your enemy is her, I'm afraid I can't protect you here either."

"It's alright. As long as I can recover from my injuries here, I will always remember your kindness and repay you in the future!"

"Fine, stay if you want. The honey won't miss you anyway."

Although Xiaolongnu's expression remained normal, her "beauty and affinity" still played an important role. If it were someone else, they would probably have died outside long ago and would not have been brought back at all.

"Thanks!"

"Ah."

She glanced at Ling Yun, a fleeting glint of something deeply hidden in her eyes, and then left the stone house.

After she left, Ling Yun began to examine his injuries and found that they were almost completely healed, probably within two days at most. However, he wouldn't leave so hastily. He set a small goal first: to win over this calm and naive Little Dragon Girl!

As for how to win it over... Ling Yun fell into a long period of thought.

Chapter 270 An Enemy Comes Knocking [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. In these few days, Ling Yun performed a little better each day than the day before. Apart from secretly practicing his skills, he spent his days chatting with Xiaolongnu.

At first, Xiaolongnu didn't want to talk to him much, but she couldn't resist the fact that Lingyun came from the modern era. Many of his views and interesting stories were unheard of by people in ancient times, which quickly attracted her. Sometimes, when Xiaolongnu was tired from practicing her skills, she would take the initiative to find him.

Under the influence of the beautiful woman's friendliness and Ling Yun's own charm, Xiaolongnu, who had never left her master's sect, became more and more cheerful and smiled more often.

However, this is not a good sign, because her cultivation emphasizes "purity of mind and few desires". Once she loses her composure, she may break her cultivation and suffer a great drop in strength.

Ling Yun was unaware of this; he was simply racking his brains to win the beauty's favor, using every method imaginable.

That afternoon, as he drew closer to Xiaolongnu and finally embraced her, preparing to kiss her, Xiaolongnu smiled and covered his mouth with her hand. Then, she gracefully returned to her room, lay down on a rope, gave him a slight smile, and turned her back to him.

Ling Yun understood this attitude; it meant that this was the end, and trying to break through further would likely backfire.

Of course, he could also forcefully possess her and mark her with the "Beauty Recognizes Her Master" mark, but the first few days would be a waste of time, and there would be no thrill of conquering her.

His injuries have been fully healed, and the pretense was all for the young girls. His greatest achievement was actually mastering the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to its pinnacle, gradually exploring the combination of Qiao Feng and Guo Jing's techniques: "softness within strength" and "three waves of the Yangtze River."

Speaking of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, it originally consisted of twenty-eight palms, which were later simplified to eighteen palms, and then further modified to ten palms.

The fact that a martial art can have so many variations suggests that the founder's martial arts skills were not as advanced as those of someone like Dugu Qiubai. However, this palm technique is indeed extremely powerful, but similarly, no one has been able to master it to the point of returning to its original simplicity.

For Ling Yun to break through this barrier, the effort he needs to put in will likely be more difficult than for the other martial arts.

As for the Six Meridian Divine Sword, he had also mastered it to the same level, but he hadn't used it yet, in order to catch the opponent off guard in the final battle.

Just as he closed his eyes and actively activated the "All Rivers Run into the Ocean" technique, the cave entrance was opened.

Little Dragon Girl immediately noticed the situation, fell off the rope, and quickly walked to the vicinity of the gate.

"Junior sister, how have you been?"

Wearing the dress Ling Yun bought for her, and having been pampered by Ling Yun, Li Mochou looked exceptionally beautiful and charming, even surpassing Xiaolongnu, who was originally slightly better than her.

"Senior sister, did you come back this time again for that Heart Sutra?"

"That kind of thing is no longer important..."

Li Mochou looked inexplicably sad. After entering the cave, she looked around and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Although she only returned to this ancient tomb occasionally, the layout and furnishings remained unchanged, and it had always been just Xiaolongnu living there alone. Now, after glancing at it a few times, she discovered traces of someone else having lived there. Moreover, based on certain clues, she could even deduce that it was a man!

"Junior sister, I never expected this." Li Mochou suddenly revealed a strange smile. "Back then, Master's favorite disciple actually brought a man back to sleep!"

"Senior sister, you mustn't be talking nonsense!"

Xiaolongnu's face was gloomy: "It's just... it's just that I found him unconscious outside and brought him back to treat his injuries."

"Hmph, healing wounds? That's just your opinion, who would believe that? I think you've probably just found a lover, hahaha!"

After laughing, Li Mochou thought of the missing Ling Yun and guessed that he might have even died from his injuries. Seeing that Xiaolongnu was actually accompanied by a man, she felt a surge of jealousy and murderous intent.

"You..." Xiaolongnu was not good with words, and her pure and detached nature meant that her emotions did not fluctuate so strongly, so she naturally could not win a verbal battle against Li Mochou.

"I'd like to see who this stinking man hiding here is!"

Li Mochou looked towards Ling Yun's room, keenly sensing the presence there, and then quickly walked over.

"stop!"

Xiaolongnu waved a white silk ribbon, attempting to bind Li Mochou.

But Li Mochou, who was familiar with her martial arts, dodged and easily blocked her attack with her whisk.

Li Mochou's strength was already above Xiaolongnu's. In addition, Xiaolongnu's strength was weakened due to her desireless state, and she was not as strong as before. After only a few rounds, she was captured by Li Mochou.

“Good junior sister, it seems this man holds a very important place in your heart, you even broke your composure…” Li Mochou became even more jealous and resentful, “I want to know, if I killed him in front of you, what kind of expression would you have?”

Xiaolongnu's pupils widened, but she was helplessly held in Li Mochou's grasp and could not move at all.

Just as the two women were entangled, Ling Yun had just completed a full cycle of his internal energy circulation. Hearing the commotion outside, he curiously went out.

In that instant, the three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.

"Hmph, so you were hiding here!"

Li Mochou released Xiaolongnu and rushed towards Ling Yun, leading him into the house.

Xiaolongnu was immobilized by acupuncture points and could only watch helplessly as the two entered the house, secretly anxious.

That's right, Ling Yun is a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect, and Li Mochou has had the entire Quanzhen Sect wiped out. Ling Yun... is probably in grave danger!

The scene inside the room was completely different from what she had imagined. Ling Yun was lying on the bed with his legs dangling over the edge, while Li Mochou was straddling him, letting out a soft moan.

"You bastard Ling Yun! I've been looking for you for so many days, and all you were doing was hiding here, being all lovey-dovey with my junior sister!"

"Uh, Mochou, it's all a coincidence. I'm planning to go out and look for you in a couple of days."

"A couple of days? What, you want to win over my junior sister in a couple of days before you come out?"

"Don't worry, you hold a higher place in my heart. I love you."

"Heartless man!"

Li Mochou cursed under her breath, then bent down and kissed him several times before lying on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling inexplicably at ease.

"You heartless bastard, you have no idea how frantic I've been looking for you. When I find Feidian, I'll roast it and eat it, you damn horse..."

Ling Yun also held Li Mochou's delicate body, inhaling her intoxicating fragrance: "Mochou, you've worked hard. It's my fault."

"Do you really want to win over my junior sister?"

"Well..."

"to be frank!"

"Yes."

"I knew it!" Li Mochou whispered in his ear, "I can help you, but you have to cooperate with me! In a little while..."

After an unknown amount of time, just as Xiaolongnu was exerting all her strength to break through the acupoints, Li Mochou came out with Lingyun, who had been "abused," and pushed him to the corner of the wall.

"Junior sister, do you know what this is?"

Li Mochou smiled and poured out a pill, then waved it in front of Xiaolongnu.

"This is... the Yin-Yang Harmony Pill?"

"Exactly~" She squinted her eyes and re-pressed Xiaolongnu's acupoints, this time using even more force, making it even harder to break through. "I'm not only going to feed you, but also your lover, and then you'll be left to watch helplessly!"

"No, Senior Sister, please don't!" Little Dragon Girl panicked, her eyes welling up with tears.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Li Mochou became even more jealous, which fueled her desire to do what she wanted.

"Eat it!"

She pried open Xiaolongnu's mouth and forcibly fed her the pill. Then she went to Lingyun's side and, amidst his "curses," gave it to him as well.

"Li Mochou, are you even human?!"

"Am I human or not? Hehe, you'll find out soon enough. You two wanted to be a loving couple, right? I'll show you today what it feels like to be so close yet feel like you're at opposite ends of the earth!"

Chapter 271 Sisters

Unlike the sugar pills that Li Mochou gave Ling Yun, Xiaolongnu took real elixirs.

With tears welling in her eyes, Xiaolongnu stammered, "Senior Sister, I... I only beg you to spare Lingyun, don't kill him..."

Seeing Li Mochou kneel up straight and gently stroke Ling Yun's cheeks with both hands, Xiaolongnu pleaded in a low voice.

"Let him go?" Li Mochou hooked Ling Yun's chin with her finger. "That depends on how you perform, Junior Sister. If you can make me happy, I'll consider it."

Ling Yun kept his eyes tightly closed, trying his best to pretend that he was forcibly restraining himself.

"Okay, I will listen to my senior sister."

"That's more like it, hahaha!"

Li Mochou smiled somewhat sickly. Although she was trying to help Ling Yun gain benefits, she still harbored some resentment towards her junior sister. However, that resentment gradually dissipated over time.

"Come on, little darling, haven't you always liked me? Now you're all delivered to my doorstep."
