Don't Provoke the Black Lotus O [Transmigration Novel] - Chapter 46

46: Out of Control

Jiang Ci had learned manual moxibustion from Mo Sanqi for a while. This technique, which involves holding the moxa stick in hand and operating it over the body without any moxibustion device, is much more advanced than regular moxibustion.

This method is highly effective, warming and tonifying the middle qi, dispelling dampness and cold, and promoting bl00d circulation to remove stasis. It is indeed very suitable for Xi Lingxue. Even if there’s no specific illness, it can be used for daily health maintenance.

The problem is, this requires taking off the upper garment!

Jiang Ci had only performed this on a few elderly men and women before. If it were Xi Lingxue…

Just thinking about the woman’s delicate and soft body, her natural charm, Jiang Ci’s brain heated up, and an alarm immediately went off.

No! Absolutely not!

“This… I’m not suitable for this,” Jiang Ci pondered. “If Xiaoxue wants to do it, she can go to other clinics in town. There are Kunjuns who know this technique.”

“But I don’t know any other doctors, I only trust you,” Xi Lingxue said with a sorrowful expression, coughing twice. “Isn’t it said that in the eyes of a doctor, there is no distinction between genders? If so, why are you refusing?”

Jiang Ci was momentarily speechless.

That’s true, but she couldn’t get past the mental barrier!

“I don’t mind, A Ci can treat me as an ordinary patient. Unless…” The woman suddenly looked up at her, her eyes shimmering with an indescribable emotion, “A Ci has feelings for me—”

“No, no, no, you’re overthinking it,” Jiang Ci quickly said, fearing a misunderstanding. “I have absolutely no thoughts about you.”

Xi Lingxue smiled, “I know, that’s why I feel safe coming to you. Besides, A Ci knows my secret identity.”

Jiang Ci: “…”

She was truly at a loss for words.

Jiang Ci now really suspected that Xi Lingxue might already know her identity, which is why she deliberately sought her out.

She subtly observed the woman’s expression, trying to find any clues, but apart from looking somewhat haggard, there was nothing noticeable.

Thinking of her earlier pained expression, rubbing her temples, Jiang Ci was confused.

She must really be feeling unwell…

The woman’s words also made some sense. If she kept refusing, it would only make her seem guilty.

Since she had already decided to let go, she should treat her as an ordinary patient. It’s no big deal.

“Alright,” Jiang Ci sighed, “wait a moment, I’ll go prepare.”

“Okay.”

She turned to leave, not noticing the woman behind her curling her lips, her rosy eyes glinting with an ambiguous light.

Jiang Ci searched for a while, rummaging through the pharmacy but couldn’t find any remaining moxa sticks. It seemed they had run out last time and hadn’t been replenished.

“Sorry,” Jiang Ci said, “we’re out of moxa sticks. Let’s do it another day.”

No more?

Xi Lingxue slightly frowned, “Can’t we buy some now?”

“Can’t buy them, my master made them himself. Only have them at home.”

“Oh, then let’s go to your house.”

Jiang Ci: “???”

Is this appropriate?

The woman coughed a few times, her face flushing with a sickly red, her voice slightly hoarse, “I don’t mean anything else, I just feel really unwell, probably caught a cold from riding horses the other day.”

Jiang Ci nodded understandingly, “I told you it was reckless to ride so fast before fully recovering.”

Indeed, moxibustion would help a lot, effectively driving out the cold.

Recalling that day, Jiang Ci couldn’t help but think of the silver notes from Jin Yu.

Tsk, taking money means doing the job. Besides, Xi Lingxue helped her find her master this time. By all accounts, she should lend a hand.

“Alright,” Jiang Ci glanced at the sky outside, it was almost sunset. She said, “Let’s go now.”

Better to finish early so Xi Lingxue can return sooner.

Songxiang Town isn’t big, it only took them about ten minutes to walk there.

On the way, Jiang Ci suddenly thought of Jin Yu, “Why didn’t I see your servant?”

The woman calmly replied, “I sent her to the city to inquire about Master Mo’s news, she hasn’t returned yet.”

In fact, there was already news about Mo Sanqi.

Xi Lingxue came to tell her that Mo Sanqi had gone to the capital. The reason she didn’t bring Jin Yu was simply to have more alone time with Jiang Ci.

Who knew she’d see another Kunjun at the pharmacy…

Xi Lingxue was momentarily overwhelmed by jealousy, so she withheld this news.

Jiang Ci secretly speculated that Jin Yu probably took Xi Lingxue’s token to mobilize local officials in the city, making the search faster.

Thinking this, she felt a bit ashamed.

They really went to great lengths for Mo Sanqi.

Arriving at the small yard outside the town, Jiang Ci asked Xi Lingxue to wait while she prepared the necessary items. Xi Lingxue took the opportunity to look around Jiang Ci’s living environment.

At sunset, the golden light bathed the small yard, casting a warm glow on the reclining chair under the tree, everything seemed so peaceful and serene. There was a small patch of land in the yard, growing some unknown herbs, and many medicinal herbs were drying on bamboo racks. The yard looked simple, yet had a warm and healing atmosphere.

Xi Lingxue had read the information provided by Huang Runfa, there was little record of Jiang Ci, she had only been in Songxiang Town for a few months.

No one knew where she had been for the past ten years, just like that person, both seemed to have vanished without a trace.

Jiang Ci worked quickly, preparing everything before calling Xi Lingxue inside.

She handed Xi Lingxue a new set of clothes, “Change into this. I’ll step out, call me when you’re done.”

“Okay.”

The clothes had a back-opening design, with buttons at the back, allowing them to be worn without unbuttoning, just slipped over the head. This way, during moxibustion, the doctor only needed to unbutton the back, minimizing exposure.

Xi Lingxue didn’t rush to change, instead, she took a moment to look around Jiang Ci’s room.

Being outside the town, the room was spacious, with a faint scent of herbs in the air. The desk was cluttered with medical books, this person’s habits hadn’t changed, still messy and disorganized like before.

While Xi Lingxue changed, Jiang Ci pondered outside, three moxa sticks should be enough, taking about an hour. Afterward, she’d escort Xi Lingxue back to the inn, and the task would be complete.

Just as she was thinking, a cool female voice came from inside, “A Ci, I’m done.”

“Alright, I’m coming in.”

Jiang Ci pushed the door open to see a flawless beauty sitting by the bed, her long hair gathered to one side. She turned her head at the sound, her phoenix eyes filled with tender affection as she looked over.

Jiang Ci was momentarily stunned, a fleeting illusion of peaceful times passing by.

Of course, it could only be an illusion, there was too much deception between her and Xi Lingxue.

No matter how beautiful the scenery, it was only superficial. Jiang Ci had learned that lesson.

She didn’t know how much of what this woman said was true, perhaps none of it. She wasn’t sure if her identity had been exposed, but it didn’t matter. As long as no one brought it up, she wouldn’t be the one to clarify.

The bed had been freshly made, Jiang Ci gestured for her to lie down, face down.

The woman gave her a charming, coquettish look, gathered her hair to one side, then lifted her long, beautiful legs, twisted her waist, and lay down on the bed.

Jiang Ci’s gaze involuntarily swept over the woman’s alluring curves, her full figure soft and tempting. She steadied herself, pulled up a chair, and sat beside the bed.

Just treat her as an ordinary patient, right.

Jiang Ci reached to unbutton the back of the woman’s clothes, unconsciously holding her breath, using only her index finger and thumb, carefully avoiding touching her skin.

Successfully undoing the first button, revealing the woman’s snow-white, glowing neck, Jiang Ci felt as if she had completed a major task. Xi Lingxue had a lot of hair, which when gathered to one side, conveniently covered her gland.

Jiang Ci breathed a sigh of relief, she had heard that Kunjun glands were particularly delicate, pink, and she wondered what they looked like…

The thought flashed by, and Jiang Ci continued her task.

Once all the buttons were undone, she parted the clothing, revealing the woman’s smooth, silky back. The elegant curves flowed like water, from her shoulders down to her waist, warm and fragrant. Even lying down, the outline of her snow-white half-circle was visible from behind.

Jiang Ci’s gaze flickered slightly as she averted her eyes, lowering her head to light the moxa stick. She steadied her voice, speaking as calmly as possible, “I’m starting now. If it feels too hot, let me know.”

Xi Lingxue controlled her breathing. She was lying on Jiang Ci’s bed and could faintly catch a subtle scent of cliff cypress, not overpowering but carrying a hint of fruity fragrance.

This was Jiang Ci’s pheromone.

Xi Lingxue’s heart stirred, feeling her body grow increasingly warm. This trace of pheromone was like a drop in the ocean, and she longed for more.

Jiang Ci focused, holding the moxa stick above Xi Lingxue’s back, aligning it with the acupuncture points and moving it slowly. Once she truly began, she entered a state of concentration, and the earlier nervousness gradually faded.

Neither of them spoke again. The room was filled with swirling smoke, quiet and serene. Before long, the woman’s delicate, fair skin began to flush a deep red, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her back, making her body appear even more radiant.

“Your dampness is quite severe,” Jiang Ci remarked. “Your body is also very sensitive—it turned red so quickly.”

“Mmm…”

Xi Lingxue’s soft moan sounded more like a restrained whimper, shy yet enduring, the deep trailing tone itching at one’s heart.

Jiang Ci’s distracting thoughts were stirred again. She frowned, forcibly pulling her mind back, silently reciting to herself, “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.”

The woman’s breathing grew quicker than before, and her body began to tremble lightly, uncontrollably.

Jiang Ci clenched her teeth, tense. She had never realized that performing moxibustion on someone could be so difficult…

Fortunately, nothing went awry afterward. The moxa stick finally burned out, and Jiang Ci herself was drenched in sweat. When she spoke again, her voice was slightly hoarse, “It’s done.”

She took a towel and gently wiped the sweat from Xi Lingxue’s back.

The moment she touched her, the woman shivered slightly. “A Ci…”

Jiang Ci swallowed hard. “What is it?”

“…Have you done this for others before?”

“Manual moxibustion? Of course.”

Xi Lingxue’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she gradually clenched the bedsheet, the crimson in her eyes deepening into a more intense hue.

Jiang Ci couldn’t see her expression but turned around to put down the towel. “Just change your clothes and be careful not to catch a cold. I’ll wait outside for you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a slender, jade-like arm suddenly wrapped around her neck, pulling her forcefully onto the bed.

The woman’s already loose clothing slipped off even more, barely hanging on, revealing a glimpse of her delicate form.

Caught off guard, Jiang Ci fell onto Xi Lingxue, her breath filled with the intoxicating scent of plum blossoms. When she looked up again, her entire body froze.

The snow-white skin was half-concealed, a vivid and alluring sight.

She saw almost everything she shouldn’t have.

The woman didn’t let go, still holding her tightly. Jiang Ci’s face flushed red, “What are you doing?!”

“What am I doing?” Xi Lingxue, enduring the burning pain in her chest, revealed a bewitching smile on her stunning face. “Didn’t A Ci make a deal with my servant? Why not make one with me too? I’ll pay double.”

“What deal?” Jiang Ci closed her eyes, refusing to look at her. Her marking teeth itched, and the faint scent of cliff cypress gradually dispersed, standing out from the overwhelming aroma of moxa in the room. “Can’t you just talk properly?!”

Xi Lingxue panted heavily, her lips a vivid red, her phoenix eyes narrowing. “Mark me…”

Jiang Ci’s heart shook violently. “Have you lost your mind?!”

“Why, is it so hard?” The rich scent of plum blossoms had now overpowered the moxa. The woman chuckled softly, desire coloring her usually cool eyes. “Isn’t this a normal thing? Kunjuns need the pheromones of Qianjuns, especially during their heat cycle.”

Jiang Ci looked at Xi Lingxue in disbelief. What did she mean… relying on her to get through her heat cycle? Was she treating her like some Qianjun from a brothel?!

Didn’t Pei Shiyuan say that Xi Lingxue had never been marked before?!

Then what was this?

How could she say such a thing to a Qianjun she had only known for a few days?!

In Jiang Ci’s subconscious, Xi Lingxue wasn’t the type of woman to be so casual and careless with herself.

She had once been her white moonlight…

Jiang Ci would rather Xi Lingxue have a steady partner, whether it was a female knight or an official match, anything was better than randomly picking someone.

But Xi Lingxue had truly said it—she could buy a temporary mark with money.

Jiang Ci couldn’t bear to imagine how many Qianjuns she had sought out privately over the past ten years…

“It’s not hard,” Jiang Ci replied, a sudden, nameless anger rising in her heart. She laughed bitterly, deliberately saying, “It’s just a temporary mark. I’ve done this kind of thing before too.”

“Too?”

She had marked someone else before?!

Xi Lingxue’s gaze froze, her pheromones teetering on the edge of loss of control. She opened her crimson eyes and laughed softly, “Alright then, what are you waiting for?”

Jiang Ci’s expression darkened. She grabbed Xi Lingxue’s slender, pale wrist and flipped her over, pinning her down onto the bed.

She gripped Xi Lingxue’s chin, her voice cold, “Double the price, not a single coin less.”

The woman let out a muffled groan, her eyes fixated on Jiang Ci’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes with a look of infatuation. She offered no resistance, shamelessly wrapping her arms around Jiang Ci’s neck and pulling her closer.

“Mark me…”

Her exquisitely charming demeanor would have left anyone else utterly bewitched, willing to risk their life for her.

But Jiang Ci was filled with anger, which had long since clouded her judgment.

She no longer held back, roughly biting Xi Lingxue’s lips and kissing her fiercely.

She had long wanted to teach this woman a lesson!

Lacking any sense of boundaries and making such demands—did Xi Lingxue always think of her as some harmless Hello Kitty?

Since she had delivered herself to her doorstep, today Jiang Ci would make sure she learned just how cruel the world could be!

As their soft lips met, Xi Lingxue trembled all over, her body tingling as if electrified.

The kiss was so intense it nearly stole her breath. Jiang Ci released her lips only to bite down on her neck, moving downward relentlessly. “Did you think I was some kind of saint?!”

The woman, usually as cool and composed as jade, was now utterly lost in passion. She had never experienced such intense stimulation before, her heart ached even as she was overwhelmed by the tingling waves of pleasure. Her words came out in broken fragments, “You’re bad… I… I wouldn’t have it… any other way…”

Good!

Jiang Ci’s eyes darkened, and she redoubled her efforts.

A temporary mark? Hah, how dare she come to her with such a request?!

Today, she would mark her until she went mad, and no amount of begging would save her!

She wanted Xi Lingxue to know that Jiang Ci was not what she seemed—she was insatiable, crazy, and terrifying. She was a demon! And from now on, she should stay far, far away from her!

The wooden bed creaked and groaned under the strain, unable to bear the weight. The row of bottles and jars on the headboard clattered to the floor one after another.

Jiang Ci brushed aside Xi Lingxue’s hair, revealing a pink and delicate gland, like a tender flower waiting to be plucked. The nectar, carrying the scent of plum blossoms, had already trickled down her shoulders and back.

Jiang Ci didn’t miss a single drop, capturing it all with her lips.

She could feel Xi Lingxue’s breathing growing increasingly rapid, her soft moans escaping as she struggled to endure. Her body grew hotter and hotter.

After what felt like an eternity, sharp teeth finally pierced through, and her pheromones flooded into the woman’s body.

Jiang Ci had read medical books. She knew how to mark and understood which spots were the most sensitive.

The temporary mark was complete, but this was only the first round.

Xi Lingxue hadn’t begged for mercy yet!

She was going to punish her fiercely!

From sunset until late into the night, Jiang Ci bit her over and over, her lips and tongue roaming relentlessly.

Xi Lingxue was drenched in fragrant sweat, her delicate body covered in red Marks, nearly on the verge of passing out.

But Jiang Ci still didn’t let her go. She lifted her soft, slender waist, “Are you scared now?!”

The woman’s face was flushed, her eyes tearful, as she weakly replied, “It’s… nothing…”

Jiang Ci took a deep breath and buried her head again, continuing.

Fine! The only thing left hard on Xi Lingxue’s body was her mouth. Let’s see how long she could hold out!

Jiang Ci pulled the woman up, holding her from behind. She gently bit Xi Lingxue’s nape, her hands reaching under her arms to freely knead and tease.

Xi Lingxue’s eyes were hazy, already lost in wave after wave of pleasure. She wanted Jiang Cito kiss her, hold her, love her, and mark only her.

Jiang Ci could only belong to her.

It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that the two finally collapsed from exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

When Jiang Ci opened her eyes again, the sunlight outside was bright and dazzling, making it hard to tell what time it was.

As she turned over, her hand brushed against a smooth, bare body.

Jiang Ci froze for a moment, then tilted her head slightly to see the stunningly beautiful woman with a cold demeanor curled up beside her, completely naked. Xi Lingxue’s hair was disheveled, tear stains still visible on her face, and her body was covered in marks that were almost too much to look at.

The room was filled with the scents of plum blossoms and cliff cypress. Jiang Ci was dazed for a couple of seconds before she finally remembered everything that had happened the previous night.

In her memory, the woman had been crying with reddened eyes but had still clung to her relentlessly, and they had lost count of how many times they had been together.

Jiang Ci slowly sat up and pulled the blanket over Xi Lingxue. The movement made her realize how sore her waist, arms, and even her jaw were. Her head was also spinning.

If a Qianjun’s bloodline talent was strong, then their pheromones could be considered a kind of “tonic” for Kunjuns. Not only could it effectively alleviate the pain of the heat cycle, but it was also beneficial for the Kunjun’s constitution.

From this perspective, Qianjuns really were like tools.

Recalling the scenes from last night, Jiang Ci couldn’t help but hold her forehead in disbelief. She couldn’t believe she had been with Xi Lingxue for so long…

And the woman hadn’t even begged for mercy in the end!

Now, she just felt dizzy. Having lost a significant amount of pheromones and not having eaten anything, she was both hungry and exhausted, her body feeling weak.

Jiang Ci decided to find something to eat, but as soon as she moved, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded beside her, “Where are you going…”

Before she could respond, Xi Lingxue’s arm hooked around her again, her body soft and clinging to Jiang Ci.

Last night had been too crazy. She had never known that a temporary mark could feel so wonderful, her entire body tingling as if electrified, bringing her to the brink of ecstasy. What made Xi Lingxue even more delighted was the intimate contact with Jiang Ci—they had completely belonged to each other.

But when it stopped, she couldn’t help but think that Jiang Ci had also marked others…

She had kissed and caressed others like this, even pierced their glands.

Xi Lingxue’s long lashes were damp, her heart aching unbearably. She tangled herself with Jiang Ci again, pulling her back onto the bed, and fiercely kissed the back of her neck. “You can only be mine…”

The stimulation of the gland sent a jolt through Jiang Ci’s nerves, and she couldn’t quite make out the murmured words.

…Again? How did Xi Lingxue still have any energy left?

Jiang Ci gritted her teeth, refusing to back down. She turned around and took control, starting slow but quickly picking up the pace within the damp, heated embrace.

Come on, let’s go crazy!

Unspoken love and resentment tangled together as Jiang Ci watched Xi Lingxue, her expression caught between tears and laughter. The usually cool and dignified woman was now utterly yielding, bewitchingly charming. Yet, instead of feeling any satisfaction, Jiang Ci only grew more agitated.

“Jiang Ci… Jiang Ci…”

The woman wept, softly calling her name over and over.

Jiang Ci’s eyes reddened as she listened. Once, she had longed for Xi Lingxue to remember her. But instead, this woman, knowing full well she wasn’t Gao Yi, hadn’t even bothered to ask her name. And yet she claimed to care?!

How laughable. Now, she finally heard her name being called, but in such a context.

Jiang Ci couldn’t help but sneer, “Do you enjoy calling out Qianjuns’ names in bed?”

Xi Lingxue’s voice trembled, “I… have only called your name…”

Jiang Ci sneered inwardly. Did she really think she was a fool? She wouldn’t believe such words!

As the scent of plum blossoms grew stronger, Jiang Ci’s marking teeth secreted fluid again. She kissed the back of the woman’s neck once more, stimulating the swollen gland and injecting her pheromones.

After another hour of exhaustion, the woman still clung to her relentlessly, refusing to let go. Finally, both of them collapsed from sheer exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

When Jiang Ci woke up for the second time, it was already dark outside.

Her throat felt as dry as if it were on fire. After an entire day and night, she hadn’t eaten anything—it seemed she had only drunk some of Xi Lingxue’s… water.

Jiang Ci’s head was spinning, and she was both hungry and exhausted. Her body felt completely drained.

This was too much. Going so hard the first time was a bit overwhelming…

She struggled to get up, only to have Xi Lingxue wrap her arms around her waist again. “Don’t go…”

The smooth skin pressed against her, and Jiang Ci shivered all over. Her poor heart couldn’t take it anymore.

No, no, this woman couldn’t possibly want to go again, could she?

She was going to drain her dry!

If she had known it would be like this, she would never have taken this job!

If before, Jiang Ci had wanted to ruthlessly torment Xi Lingxue and teach her a lesson, now she just wanted to escape.

She admitted defeat…

She really couldn’t go on anymore. Her life was at stake!

Just then, a sound came from outside. “Jiang Ci, Lingxue, are you there?”

Xi Lingxue had been gone for a full day and night. Pei Shiyuan and Jin Yu had first gone to the pharmacy. The door was locked, and they encountered a young Kunjun who complained about Jiang Ci suddenly standing her up.

The two then made their way to the small courtyard.

When Jiang Ci heard Pei Shiyuan’s voice, it was like finding a lifeline.

With great effort, she pushed Xi Lingxue away, quickly threw on some clothes, and stumbled to the nearest window, reaching out a hand.

“Pei…” Jiang Ci’s voice was hoarse and weak, pitifully small. “Help…”

The woman, still naked and dazed, followed her and suddenly pounced on her, kissing her wildly. “Jiang Ci, don’t go…”

Jiang Ci was on the verge of tears. She grabbed a piece of clothing and hastily wrapped it around Xi Lingxue.

Hearing movement inside, Jin Yu smashed open the courtyard door with her hammer.

As a zhongjun, she couldn’t detect pheromones, but Pei Shiyuan, who had followed her, was different. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she caught the intertwined scents of two pheromones.

Could these two have…?

Oh, this two-faced Jiang Ci!

However, Pei Shiyuan was a bit worried.

Over the years, Xi Lingxue had relied on medication to get through her heat cycles. Due to excessive stress, her pheromones had become disordered. After being suppressed for so long, a sudden marking might require a massive amount of pheromones. She wasn’t sure if Jiang Ci could handle it.

Jin Yu casually glanced at the window and happened to see a slender, pale hand trembling as it reached out. “Help… help me…”

Jin Yu’s face turned pale, and she immediately took half a step back. “Miss Pei, there’s a ghost…”

“How could that be?”

Pei Shiyuan followed Jin Yu’s gaze and also saw the hand. Her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

“Yuan…”

Jin Yu quickly pulled Pei Shiyuan back, holding her hammer protectively in front of her. “She’s calling for justice! She was wronged to death!”
