Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 324

Soul searching is a violent method that forcibly intrudes into the primordial spirit to search memories. Those subjected to it experience immense pain, and it is generally a method reserved for those who are guilty.

Sheng Nuan’s smile in her eyes slightly cooled, but her expression remained completely innocent and confused. “I was saving people. Why is Yaoguang Lord being so harsh on me? Have I offended you?”

This was equivalent to directly accusing Qing Mian of targeting her…

Qin Luo beside her blinked, feeling that the spiritual pet of the devil monk was indeed as extraordinary as he was. A little spiritual pet daring to speak to the Yaoguang Lord like that.

How brave!

Meanwhile, Yaoguang Lord Qing Mian’s face was already icy.

“It seems the Tiancheng Lord is busy slaying demons and eliminating evil, neglecting to discipline his spiritual pet. Today, this lord will properly discipline you on his behalf…”

The surrounding disciples watching had varied expressions; some were anxious and nervous, while others were gloating… Mo Jingjing was among the latter.

Seeing Yaoguang Lord Qing Mian raise her hand to grab the stone demon before she finished speaking, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared.

Qing Mian abruptly withdrew her hand, her expression shifting several times before finally returning to normal. “Tiancheng Lord.”

Lian Yin looked at her coldly, “My spiritual pet, no need for the Yaoguang Lord to trouble herself.”

Qin Luo’s eyes lit up with excitement, sitting upright as if only a handful of melon seeds was missing to fully enjoy the show…

Qing Mian’s expression stiffened slightly, then she spoke softly, “Since Tiancheng Lord has arrived, naturally, you should deal with it personally. Your spiritual pet burned down the villagers’ houses and property. Now, the victims have come seeking justice, whether it should be compensation or an apology, it is up to the Tiancheng Lord to decide.”

Lian Yin turned to look at the little stone demon beside him, seeing her avert her gaze with a guilty appearance.

He withdrew his gaze and looked toward the villagers, calmly saying, “It’s not easy for mortals to survive. You can take money from the Heavenly Punishment Hall’s private treasury to help them rebuild their homes. As for an apology… why apologize? For saving their lives?'”

The villagers behind the village chief were already trembling with fear after seeing these immortal cultivators. Seeing this monk dressed entirely in black, exuding murderous aura yet resembling a Buddha or a demon, they were even more terrified.

Questioned by the other party, they thought of how that woman had saved their entire village. Yet now she was being harassed, making them blush with shame. Stammering, they hurriedly said, “No need for an apology, there’s no need to apologize. It is… it is us humble folks who should be thanking her instead…”

Before they could finish speaking, the village chief gave a stern glance and the villagers dared not speak again.

They were tenant farmers of the village chief’s family, owing considerable amounts of money and grain. Therefore, they had no choice but to follow the village chief to “collect debts.”

Hearing that money would be given, the village chief immediately beamed, nodding and bowing repeatedly. “Money will do, money will do. No need for an apology. This old man forgives you, forgives you all!”

All the disciples in the hall showed disdainful expressions, but the village chief didn’t care, only nodding and bowing with a smile…

Lian Yin directly disappeared from the hall with the little stone demon, leaving behind an emotionless remark, “From now on, no one has the authority to interfere with my affairs at Duanyue Cliff.”

Qing Mian’s face turned pale and green, her fingers gripping the handrail so tightly they turned white.

The village chief led the villagers out happily after receiving the money. Hearing the villagers say they were going to thank the female immortal, the village chief was very disdainful. “Go if you want, I’m going back.”

After speaking, he left cheerfully with a bundle carrying silver ingots on his back.

The villagers waited for a long time, and after they plucked up the courage to ask, they found out that the female immortal who saved them was not in this location, but on another mountain, forcing them to leave in frustration.

But just as they finally reached the mountain foot, not long after, they were horrified to see the village chief’s corpse thrown into the wild grass of the mountain… a big knife stabbed through his chest, his eyes full of terror, dying without peace.

The bundle with the silver on his back was already missing!

It turned out that as soon as the village chief descended the mountain, he encountered bandits who robbed him of the silver and took his life…

When Sheng Nuan learned this from customer service, she curled her lips without caring. Then she turned back with an innocent expression and sweetly thanked Lian Yin, “Thank you, Your Lordship, for helping me out.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Yin calmly asked,  “How do you plan to thank me?”

Sheng Nuan was taken aback, a bit confused, “Your Lordship?”

In the next instant, she was pressed tightly against the mountain wall by Lian Yin, whose expression suddenly softened. The immortal lord in dark robes raised his hand to pinch her chin. “I’m asking, how do you plan to thank me, hmm?”

The two were very close. The little stone demon’s cheeks flushed slightly, her eyelids fluttered, and she bit her lip. “Didn’t Your Lordhship say… the desire poison has been cleared…”

Lian Yin remained non-committal and leisurely said, “Yes, but you’ve asked me to step in and help out multiple times… You are merely a spiritual pet. Why should I go to so much trouble for you?”

The little stone demon didn’t know what she had thought of, her eyelids fluttered, shy and panicked. She reached out to push him away, but her strength was so weak it was almost negligible. She asked in a low voice, “Then what should I do?”

Seeing the little stone demon’s delicate appearance, those evil thoughts deep in Lian Yin’s heart surged uncontrollably. He held the little demon’s hand pressed against his chest and slowly approached, his voice already a little hoarse, “Then you must properly thank your lord at home, understand?”

A low murmur sounded, and in the next instant, the two figures disappeared from the spot…

Lian Yin seemed to particularly enjoy bullying the little demon in the cold pool, watching her cling coquettishly to him, rising and falling with the ripples…

Sheng Nuan originally disliked overly forceful romantic or emotional affairs. Especially since Lian Yin himself already exuded an extremely oppressive aura. However, later on, she could no longer recall anything, as Lian Yin himself eventually abandoned guiding her in dual cultivation and just ferociously tormented her.

Suddenly, she was taken by Lian Yin to a painted boat on the protective moat of the city below the mountain… it was already midnight, the river was quiet and silent, and the painted boat swayed and moved on the water’s surface, accompanied by soft pleas.

Lian Yin’s voice was a bit cold, “Don’t you like it here very much?”

Sheng Nuan had no idea that he was deliberately bullying her because he remembered the scene of her and Cang Lan riding the painted boat to release flower lanterns…  The boat rocked so much that she had to cling tighter to the monk, who had become especially lustful after eating meat, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Moonlight streamed through the cracks in the painted boat’s window, illuminating his sweat-slicked, tightly muscled back, which was covered in black lotus demonic patterns…

The next day, Sheng Nuan woke up again on the large bed inside the main hall of the Heavenly Punishment Hall.

The cold man who once told her not to enter the hall unless absolutely necessary had not only allowed her entry but had now directly taken her to the main hall’s bed.

He even specially covered the previously bare black jade bed with soft cloud satin…

Opening her eyes, she met Lian Yin’s seemingly indifferent yet somewhat dim and dark gaze. Sheng Nuan blinked, then lay down on his chest and said, “Your Lordship, good morning… umm…”

Before she could finish speaking, the world spun, and she was pressed back onto the bed again…

When Sheng Nuan finally escaped from the Heavenly Punishment Hall, inside the main hall, Lian Yin didn’t say a word but waved his hand, restoring the messy bed to its original state.

He seemed to have instantly returned to the cold and ascetic Tiancheng Lord he used to be, completely different from earlier when he had bullied the little demon and was full of lust, as if he were not the same person at all.

The voice in his sea of consciousness leisurely yet somewhat provokingly said, “Aren’t you afraid of disrupting your spiritual platform and destroying your Buddha’s heart? Or… is your spiritual platform still clear, and your pure heart still intact? Hmm?”

Lian Yin’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, but he did not speak.

The voice in his sea of consciousness clicked its tongue. “Truly hypocritical… next time, don’t expect me to come and coax that little demon. Tiancheng Lord, remember to rely on yourself in the future…”
