Xia listened to Han Shengyao's instructions with patience, and bowed his head respectfully, "Yes, master."

The four senior brothers were busy clearing the tableware as they watched Han Shengyao leave.

Inside the misty bathtub, where a few medicinal herbs were floating, Lin Qianshuang was soaking in hot water comfortably, washing her gradually healing wounds. The blood had already scabbed and fallen off, so there were no more stains on her body.

Han Shengyao was quite generous to her official disciple. She had used Hundred Leaved Immortal Grass herbs for Lin Qianshuang's medicated bath, which numbered to more than ten and was very expensive.

Lin Qianshuang leaned her head on the edge of the barrel as she thought. Her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Han Shengyao sitting not far away from her on a shrub of cattails, cultivating in a meditative pose. Like an auspicious sign, Han Shengyao's demonic energy coiled around her figure like a dragon, faintly signaling a breakthrough.

Lin Qianshuang's little beast form had too much fur, making it difficult for her to deal with the dirt and wounds on her body. After her body had slowly filled up with demonic energy, she transformed back into a human and shed her fur coat, making cleaning much easier.

After taking a bath, she felt refreshed. While she was wiping the moisture on her body, she was alerted by the sudden suffocating aroma coming from the slightly opened door.

Ever since she formed her magic crest, her five senses had sharpened, and she could sense a few people approaching.

Amidst her breakthrough, Han Shengyao's cold face suddenly appeared troubled. Her eyebrows wrinkled, cold sweat trickling down her forehead as if she had encountered a mysterious barrier.

Lin Qianshuang, aware of her abnormal state, thought that the aroma was certainly odd and deduced that the approaching group of people harboured wicked thoughts.

She worriedly looked at the terrible state the unconscious Han Shengyao was in and sat down to protect her. Her eyes vigilantly watched the doorway for the group of people.

The moment Lin Qianshuang peaked with high tension, a pair of delicate and soft hands slipped from the side of her waist and encircled neck.

Her body stiffened uncomfortably and turned to look at the person who was hugging her from behind and for a moment, she was stunned.

Han Shengyao looked gorgeous with her strangely blushing face. Her purple eyes contained intense and complex emotions; her red lips lightly brushed against her earlobe; and an arousing, magnetic voice accompanied by a hot and dazzling breath reverberated in the air.3

"Ah Heng, I clearly met you first. But why did you choose that woman, tell me!"5

The purple eyes on the face a close distance away violently trembled, seeping with a faint mysterious light.

Her demonic energy was chaotic and her eyes were muddled. Did she go crazy during her cultivation?

"Master, wake up and look at me."

At a loss, Lin Qianshuang showed an embarrassed expression. Her back was embraced too tightly, and she couldn't move her body.1

A hand nimbly slipped along her waist and into the gaps of her clothes. Suddenly, with a nibble, an act of intimacy that had exceeded certain boundaries was initiated, and several red teeth marks appeared on her collarbone.2

Lin Qianshuang held Han Shengyao's head firmly and grasped her fidgety hand with difficulty. She had trouble breathing from the oppressive demonic energy emitted by the other party.

Her hands trembled, her back covered with sweat. What bad luck. She was afraid that couldn't hold on any longer.

"Senior brother, the information's not wrong, right? Today's the day Han Shengyao breaks through and is at her most vulnerable state."

"There's no mistake. We have already lit the incense stick, and together with the Hundred Leaved Immortal Grass, it will make a good aphrodisiac effect."

"Tsk, I'm really looking forward to the taste of the Demon Realm's number one beauty."1

"Unfortunately, we can only taste her once. Even if we don't kill her tonight, if we tell the Demon Emperor tomorrow that she hooked up with a human cultivator, he will be furious and put her to death."

Several footsteps could be heard walking towards the room as the people talked and laughed.

Although there was still some distance left, Lin Qianshuang could hear their voices clearly and her eyes became a little thoughtful. The group mentioned the Demon Emperor, and there was only one person she could think of who was connected to him and had a grudge against Han Shengyao, Bai Wan.

Whatever was happening to them today, was connected to Bai Wan.

To be able to grasp Han Shengyao's whereabouts and behaviour so accurately, she judged that Bai Wan definitely had a spy in Han Shengyao's cave.

Watching the demonic energy around Han Shengyao erupt, Lin Qianshuang became anxious. Those people were about to break into the room. She didn't know their cultivation bases and Han Shengyao was still unconscious, what should she do?

Before she could think of a solution, the door rattled open and several disciples of the Demon Sect walked in. They were all wearing the uniforms of the Human Realm's great sword clan, the Guiyuan Sect.

Lin Qianshuang's face suddenly brightened with a hint of clarity.

There was a spiritual mountain that separated the Demon Realm and the Human Realm. The two realms have been fighting each other for a long time but lacked a reason to start a war.

If Han Shengyao, the Sage of the Demon Realm, died in the cave, the blame would be placed on the human cultivators. But if she was alive and her virginity was lost, she would be charged with the crime of colluding with the human cultivators to stage a rebellion.

Lin Qianshuang was sure that this was not the Demon Emperor's idea, and that 80% of it belonged to Bai Wan. She wanted to make use of the returning Guiyuan Sect cultivators who had just visited the demon palace, to pay an official visit to the Demon Emperor and fish in troubled waters(1). Killing two birds with one stone.

The disciples of the Demon Sect were stunned as they looked at the two women on the floor whose clothes were disheveled. They were a little confused, "Why are there two women? Who are we supposed to kill?"

Another disciple's eyes brightened further as his gaze switched between Lin Qianshuang and Han Shengyao. His heart itched with longing and was eager to move, saying, "No matter who she is, they are both beauties. Don't let this go in vain, let me taste both and make this elder brother happy tonight."

The four men surrounded the two women with lecherous, smiling faces.

Lin Qianshuang, who was suppressed by Han Shengyao to the point she couldn't move, patted her face anxiously, "Master, master! Wake up and let go of me!"

"Ah Heng, your neck smells so good."

Lin Qianshuang felt like she was going crazy when she heard her sluggish voice saying flirtatious words in her ear. She turned her head towards her in desperation and suddenly felt a sharp pain on her neck.1

Han Shengyao bit her.1

She could clearly hear her sucking the blood from her neck.1

"Don't be afraid, little beauties. I'll separate the both of you now."

The Demon Sect disciples disguised in the Guiyuan Sect uniforms were just about to touch Lin Qianshuang's hand when they were suddenly blown away by a vicious demonic wind, crashing heavily into the wall.

Han Shengyao stood upright in front of the collapsed disciples of the Demon Sect wailing on the ground. A cold, menacing aura emanated from her body with unfathomable purple eyes.

Lin Qianshuang covered her bloody neck and looked at the awake Han Shengyao, surprise flashing in her eyes, "Master, you woke up."

"En."(2)

As she answered, Han Shengyao examined the marks on Lin Qianshuang's body and frowned slightly with knitted brows, her complexion was gloomy. She unleashed a mighty pressure towards the Demon Sect disciples, forcing them to tremble on the ground.

Lin Qianshuang admired the way Han Shengyao willed her demonic energy freely. She could feel the air around her soften as compared to the air around the suppressed disciples. She didn't expect that even in such circumstances, Han Shengyao still managed to break through into the rank of a Demon Sovereign. She was worthy of being comparable to the Demon Emperor, one of the forefathers of the Demon Dao.

"Tell me who sent you."

Han Shengyao's eyes were clouded with darkness. She gently squeezed her palm and one of the Demon Sect disciples turned into a puddle of blood.

When the others witnessed the tragedy of their companion, they were scared shitless and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Goddess, please spare our lives. We... we broke in by mistake."

"By mistake?"

The look in her eyes became dangerous. She lazily looked down at the disciples akin to ants in her eyes and said, "I'm sure you were sent by the slut, Bai Wan, correct? Tsk, you're wearing the uniform of the Guiyuan Sect. How cunning."

Han Shengyao immediately knew the answer the moment their faces slightly changed. She coldly snorted and a mass of demonic energy swept from her palm to the people on the ground. Their souls disintegrated into the air before they could even let out a scream.

Han Shengyao disposed of the several underlings and turned her gaze to Lin Qianshuang. At this moment, the woman turned back into her silvery-white beast form with her furry paws pressed against her neck. Her watery azure blue eyes stared back at her.1

"Come to my side."

Lin Qianshuang was deep in her thoughts until she heard the voice. She raised her head. Han Shengyao was lying on the side, her soft jet-black hair scattered on the bed.

With her usual lazy look, Han Shengyao patted the empty space beside her. The fierce aura that surrounded her had softened a little.

Just half an hour ago, Lin Qianshuang was sexually harrassed by the person in front of her, so she felt a little uncomfortable. But ultimately, the other party was just another girl, a girl who already had a sweetheart.

What can a girl do to another girl? She's not afraid of anything!12

Thinking of this, Lin Qianshuang lifted her legs and lightly jumped onto the bed, and laid next to Han Shengyao in a well-behaved manner. Her back touched the soft hair on the mattress, causing her face to burn as she moved her body subtly.

She involuntarily recalled the scene of Han Shengyao kissing her collarbone. The sensation of her long hair scattered across her back and waist lingered.

Fortunately, she was now in the form of a beast. Otherwise, her face would have looked flushed, and she would be embarrassed as with Han Shengyao's observation skills, she would definitely notice that something was wrong.

She doesn't have any special hobbies(3), so what's the point of thinking about it? It's not like it was interesting to be nibbled on like bread.

A little annoyed, Lin Qianshuang brushed the messy thoughts aside. She raised her head and found that Han Shengyao was also looking at her with a complicated look in her eyes.

She looked at the fresh wound on the little beast's body with a sad look and said, "I did not expect Bai Wan to stage such a scene. If you weren't by my side at this time, I would have taken a long time to recover my sanity, killing these people and filling the demon palace with a river of blood.

I can't make a move right now. Bai Wan is the daughter of the former Demon Emperor, and she is supported by the three great sects of the Demon Dao. I have no choice but to wait for the right time to strike."

"It's all thanks to you, Shuang'er."

Lin Qianshuang pretended to be happy by gesturing with her tail, gently wrapping it around Han Shengyao's arm, "As long as master is fine. Congratulations on breaking through to the rank of Demon Sovereign."

There are very few Demon Sovereigns in the entirety of the Demon Realm. It would be strange to not congratulate Han Shengyao, who managed to break through so quickly.

At the mention of "Demon Sovereign", Han Shengyao thought of something. She raised her hand and injected her demonic energy into Lin Qianshuang's eyebrows. The magic crest on her forehead flashed and she turned into her human form.

Lin Qianshuang gave her a puzzled look, a little embarrassed about her nakedness as she pulled her fur coat tightly around her figure.

A slightly cool hand touched her neck, causing her to revolt and goosebumps to form. She was just about to pat her hand away, but after seeing the other party's serious look, she quietly placed it down.

Han Shengyao's eyes were glued onto the blood on her fingers. The look in her eyes grew stranger as she gazed at Lin Qianshuang, "Heavenly Spiritual Roots, Nine Spirits Sword Body, Phoenix blood, and moreover, an excellent match for dual cultivation. Disciple, if you were a sword practitioner of the Human Realm, you would've been an excellent talent. But for a demon cultivator, this is definitely not a good thing. With your constitution, you are considered a great human cauldron for all demon cultivators. But as a demon cultivator, you can yield twice the result with half the effort for your cultivation."

Touching the wound on her neck, Lin Qianshuang instantly understood why Han Shengyao's strength greatly increased after sucking her blood, she even broke through her bottleneck. It turned out that...... She had this extremely dangerous constitution.1

With some thought, Han Shengyao said, "You do not need to go to the Demon Pool tomorrow. I'm afraid that with this constitution, we can only take you to find Du Shuang at the Yixiang Establishment. She was originally a sword practitioner of the Human Realm, who has fallen and turned into a demon.(4)"

Yixiang Establishment...... It sounds a little familiar.

Lin Qianshuang thought that it was mentioned in the original novel, but she couldn't remember it well.

"Shuang'er, I'll help you apply the medicine."

Han Shengyao touched her head, picked up the bowl on the side containing the ointment and began to stir, before applying it to the wound on her neck. When she saw the bite marks on her collarbone, and the red marks when she had pinched her waist, she involuntarily turned around and fell into a trance, guilt flashing in her eyes.

After the medicine was applied, Lin Qianshuang's demonic energy did not take long to deplete, reverting back to a little beast once again. She was so exhausted that buried herself under the quilt to find a warm spot, and then closed her eyes. Soon, she fell asleep.

According to the actual time in the modern world, it would already be three o'clock in the morning. Even if she overworked herself, she would have already been asleep.

The candle was extinguished and the room was plunged into darkness.

Looking at the little beast shivering at a corner on the bed, Han Shengyao scooped her into her arms. The little beast smacked its lips a few times, snuggled into a comfortable position in her arms, and continued to sleep with even breaths.

Compared to Lin Qianshuang's speed in falling asleep, Han Shengyao was not drowsy at all. She propped her head up and watched Lin Qianshuang's sleeping face with deep purple eyes.

Phoenix blood was not any ordinary top-grade bloodline.

She remembered the scene she saw in Tianfu mountain before she discovered Lin Qianshuang.

Could it be that that pillar of light came from her disciple?

She immediately denied her speculation. Even if an ancient beast really was born, it could not have been a demon egg with such weak demonic energy.
