Transmigrated Into The Arms Of The Heroine Of A Sadistic Novel - Chapter 5

Tan Changxin’s expression was troubled as Lin Yanyu dragged her back to the sleeping quarters. Once they were out of sight of the other demons, Tan Changxin pulled her hand away and said seriously, “I apologize, I was only asking out of curiosity. I don’t want to learn it.”

Lin Yanyu was very satisfied with her reaction. The young woman was meticulous and remembered her earlier instructions, successfully playing the role of an “obedient guard” and not rejecting her in front of the other demons.

Lin Yanyu blinked, feigning disappointment: “You really don’t want to learn? The comic books say that the ‘Dual Cultivation Method’ is the fastest way to increase demonic energy. This young master thought it should be useful for humans too.”

“Taking a shortcut in cultivation easily leads to backlash,” Tan Changxin frowned. “When we reach the human realm, don’t mention this method to anyone else. This method… is an indecent, heretical path in the eyes of humans.”

Lin Yanyu said “Oh,” and nodded earnestly: “So it’s a heretical path. No wonder the demon god in the comic looked so pained.”

Tan Changxin gave her a meaningful look, holding back from explaining further.

A pure and candid communication style was more likely to gain the other party’s trust. Lin Yanyu felt the act was sufficient, so she opened her arms to Tan Changxin: “Then carry this young master to the carriage.”

After speaking, she once again voluntarily transformed back into a black cat and leaped toward Tan Changxin.

This time, Tan Changxin caught her steadily, tucked her into her arms, and stroked her fur.

Lin Yanyu nestled obediently, preparing to close her eyes and rest, when she suddenly heard Tan Changxin clear her throat: “However, to more thoroughly understand the demon race, I plan to borrow those comic books for a period of time. I wonder if Young Master would permit it?”

Lin Yanyu: ???

For a moment, she wondered if the young woman had also been possessed by a transmigrator. The Tan Changxin in the original text was proud and powerful but too innocent in matters of love. The original owner was the only one who had first made her experience love and the only one who subsequently caused her to cut off all romantic feelings.

However, the original cruel plot points had been altered, and the roles of master and servant had been swapped. It wasn’t entirely strange for the originally simple Tan Changxin to actively ask the original owner to borrow those kinds of comic books.

To Lin Yanyu, seventeen was still a minor, but this was ultimately an ancient world where people might marry and have children at fifteen or sixteen. It was time for seventeen year old Tan Changxin to be exposed to such content.

“Sure, the comic books are on the bedside table. Take as many as you want,” Lin Yanyu agreed generously, then buried her face in Tan Changxin’s clothes, deciding not to pay attention to which books the young woman would take.

When the one person and one cat returned outside the sleeping quarters, Ye Yaozhi had already rearranged the carriages and was sitting in the front, waiting for orders.

Tan Changxin got directly into the carriage with the cat in her arms, lifted the front curtain, and said to Ye Yaozhi, “It’s getting late. The young master orders us to drive at full speed toward the human realm.”

Lin Yanyu yawned lazily. Seeing Tan Changxin retreat into the carriage and sit down, she lifted the window curtain to look outside, craning her neck to see as well.

It was indeed getting late. Based on the original owner’s memory, the current light corresponded to about nine in the morning.

The Cold Colored Forest where the original owner lived year-round was peculiar. Even if sunlight reached it, the air was always filled with demonic energy that had turned into mist, casting a strange blue hue over the entire forest.

The carriage sped toward the human realm, and Lin Yanyu enthusiastically admired the scenery along the way.

“Do you like it here?” Tan Changxin suddenly asked.

“Of course, I like it!” Lin Yanyu swung her cat tail. “This is the ‘land of idyllic beauty’ of the demon realm!”

Seeing Tan Changxin smile noncommittally, she added: “But this young master prefers the human realm. The streets there are lively! There are many novel things and delicious foods.”

“I don’t care for the liveliness,” Tan Changxin calmly replied. “Moreover, the livelier a place is, the less convenient it is for the carriage to pass through.”

Lin Yanyu smiled and asked, “Are there any quiet streets in the human realm?”

“Qingxue Street,” Tan Changxin answered without hesitation. “After entering Zhuzhou City, continue heading west. When you see an ancient tree with white flowers blooming, you will have entered Qingxue Street.”

After a few casual exchanges, Lin Yanyu was basically certain that the current Tan Changxin was exactly as described in the book: she intentionally avoided crowds and would try to choose secluded paths during travel.

It was also because of this that the original owner was able to abduct Tan Changxin back to the demon realm without alarming too many people.

Secluded places were also excellent settings for making a move. When Lin Yanyu was alive and carrying out demon-slaying missions, she often lured evil demons to an uninhabited suburban area before carrying out the arrest.

But she had already willingly become Tan Changxin’s demon guard and was completely subject to Tan Changxin’s command until the Bl00d Pact was lifted. She didn’t have to worry about being seized by the other party and imprisoned in a place for detaining demons.

The demon young master’s carriage had a status barrier on the surface, an aura personally imposed by the Demon Realm Lord. As a result, the carriage could travel unimpeded through the demon realm, and all demons encountered had to make way for it.

Lin Yanyu only remembered this on the road. After observing for a while, she couldn’t help but get a headache. She tugged at Tan Changxin’s clothes and asked her to cast a spell to conceal this “aura of supreme authority.”

In her opinion, the original owner’s mode of travel was still too high-profile. The Demon Realm Lord was also carefree. Didn’t she worry about enemies kidnapping her daughter halfway to use as a hostage?

No sooner had this thought crossed her mind than she heard the horse-demon pulling the carriage neigh loudly. The carriage violently jolted and then stopped.

Immediately following, there was a faint whistle from Ye Yaozhi, and then a continuous sound of clashing weapons.

“A demon is attacking the carriage!” Tan Changxin instinctively put down the cat and stood up. With a flip of her palm, a talisman was already held between her fingers.

Lin Yanyu inwardly cursed, realizing her fear had come true. She transformed into her human form, grabbed Tan Changxin, lifted the curtain, and looked outside.

She saw Ye Yaozhi standing at a distance from the carriage, engaged in battle with a white-robed woman wearing a veil.

Ye Yaozhi’s sharp claws, which sprouted from her fingers, met the white bamboo flute in the white-robed woman’s hand, yet Ye Yaozhi was steadily suppressed!

Lin Yanyu’s insight was extremely sharp. Just one look at the woman from afar and she roughly guessed her identity in the original text.

The woman’s features were too distinctive a white veil, white robes, and a white flute. She should be Feng Xianchen, the half-demon daughter born to the original owner’s human mother.

Lin Yanyu recalled the original plot. Since the demon slayer Feng Funing sacrificed herself and re-sealed the entrance to the demon realm seventeen years ago, the two realms had stopped communicating. Only those holding a special token could enter and exit the two realms on their own.

The so called “special token” was the “Bl00d Stained White Jade,” the token of love between Xuan Qing and Feng Funing back then.

They had split the white jade in two, each holding one half, symbolizing being the “other half” of the other, inseparable. Yet, they ended up separated by life and death.

The half of the white jade held by Xuan Qing was currently in Lin Yanyu’s hands. As for the half held by Feng Funing, it had been passed down to her daughter, Feng Xianchen.

Coincidentally, Feng Xianchen and Tan Changxin were both classmates and roommates. In the original text, there was a plot where Feng Xianchen snuck into the demon realm alone to look for Tan Changxin. However, before Feng Xianchen could find her, the Demon Realm Lord Xuan Qing discovered her, knocked her unconscious, took the other half of the white jade, and sent her back to the human realm with a burst of demonic wind.

Now that the plot had changed, Feng Xianchen naturally encountered them on their way to the human realm.

After observing the fight for a few seconds, Lin Yanyu immediately returned to the carriage. Her cat ears folded back, and she abruptly hugged Tan Changxin, panicked: “Master, Master, this is bad! A masked demon slayer has arrived outside, and they’re beating Yaozhi badly!”

She paused, then rested her head on Tan Changxin’s chest, her shoulders lightly trembling as she choked out, “I’m so scared! Please go save Yaozhi! Wuwuwu…”

The roommate was one of her own people; she couldn’t intervene. It was better to let the heroine meet Feng Xianchen directly and reassure her.

Caught off guard by the embrace, Tan Changxin’s body stiffened. She was initially at a loss for a moment but quickly regained her composure. She rubbed Lin Yanyu’s head, her fingertips tracing the folded back cat ears, and gently soothed, “I know. You don’t need to act spoiled.”
