CH 13
Han Shengyao came back from her thoughts. Her figure turned into a cloud of demonic energy and flew beside Du Shuang before materializing back to her human form and sat down.
Du Shuang's cheeks were shaded with red clouds, indicating that she had drunk a lot of wine. She wanted to pour herself another bowl, but was made to stop by Han Shengyao.
"Don't. You drank too much."
"I thought you'd beat me up again."
She placed down the bowl with a smile on her face, but her eyes were despondent.
"Since you taught my disciple bad things, I naturally planned to give you a good beating."
Han Shengyao glanced at her with a look of disgust and said, "But you look downcast, and I don't want to take advantage of your vulnerable state."
Knowing how terrible she looked, Du Shuang dryly laughed a few times.
Han Shengyao took an extra cup and poured herself some wine. She looked at Du Shuang in a relaxed manner and said slowly, "It was Fairy Jing Hua from the Penglai Immortal Sect who sent someone to look for you again, wasn't it?"
Du Shuang's expression changed slightly, and she said in a bitter tone, "Not only is she looking for me to do business, she is also getting married to her arranged Dao Companion in the following month."
Han Shengyao took a sip and looked at her as she said, "You've done so much for her, to the point where you willingly fell to the Demon Dao in order to save her reputation. Yet, what did she give you? If it's so painful, it's best to quickly forget about her, move on, and live your life in style."2
"I want to but I can't. Even if the world goes by, I'll never forget."
Du Shuang took advantage of Han Shengyao's moment of inattention and quickly drank a large mouthful of wine. She faced her and said, "I used to laugh at you for stooping so low as to obsess over and cling to the Demon Emperor. But look at me now, it turns out that I'm actually not that different from you."
Han Shengyao glared and kicked her, saying, "Don't mock me, how could I possibly be as stupid and ignorant as you!"
They turned silent for a while, seemingly sorting out each other's emotional wounds.
"Say, are you really not going to consider that beautiful disciple of yours?"
Bumping her shoulder, Du Shuang smirked, "I can see that she treats you very well, and is certainly much better than the Demon Emperor you desire. In addition, you are both master and disciple, meaning, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first(1)."
Han Shengyao's face stiffened for a moment, and said uncomfortably, "Don't make fun of me, Shuang'er is like a daughter to me. She is also the future empress of the Demon Emperor."
Du Shuang waved the empty wine jar and shook her head with a look of regret, "Such a good flower is going to be placed in cow dung again. It's a pity that the falling flower is so intent on running, it really is."1
"Who are you calling cow dung! You dare to disrespect the Demon Emperor. Ha ha, I'm not as tolerant as you think!"2
Slightly angry, Han Shengyao dropped the cup and stood up. A mass of demonic energy had condensed on the palm of her hand.

Du Shuang ignored her and wobbly stood up. She stepped into the night and chanted some love poems all alone.
Han Shengyao's anger gradually dissipated as she watched Du Shuang walk away. She thought that Du Shuang should have suffered a huge blow and needed some time alone, so she didn't try to catch up and act as her support.
'I don't know if Shuang'er is studying well.'
Worrying about something in her mind, her figure appeared right next to the window of the study.
The candle in the lamp had turned into wax, melting at the bottom as it illuminated a weak light.
The woman was napping with her head down on the edge of the zither table. The music score covered her head in a funny way, and was occasionally lifted upwards by her breaths.
Since she could maintain her human form while sleeping, her disciple must have built her foundation.
Han Shengyao slowly walked to Lin Qianshuang's side and took the music score off her head with an amused and helpless look, revealing her gentle and refined face.
With a careful look, she could see a very light tear mole placed on the lower corner of her left eye. When her face slightly trembled under the cold, she appeared pitiful.
For some reason, Han Shengyao lowered her head and kissed the sleeping figure's forehead. There was a hint of tender affection within her eyes. She quickly pulled away.1
Taking off her coat, she draped it over Lin Qianshuang's body and sat on a cushion not far away to meditate in her thin inner robes.
The night was destined to be sleepless.
[Congratulations to the Host for gaining 30 favorability points! You are currently halfway towards the Fate-Changing arrow, so keep up the good work!]
Lin Qianshuang heard the system prompt as soon as she woke up. She looked at the Favorability Interface and under Han Shengyao's head was her 40% favorability, a few steps away from the red Fate-Changing arrow.
She sat up straight and discovered that there was a warm coat on her body for who knows how long.
She subconsciously looked back and forth for a figure and found Han Shengyao meditating in her thin inner robes.
The coat belonged to her master.
She calmly squeezed the coat with her hands as the corner of her lips rose up slightly. It seems that yesterday's efforts were not in vain, and the system did not cheat her. Although the process was a bit deceitful, at least favorability points were added.
After spending a whole afternoon of random checks conducted by the demon, Lin Qianshuang finally played the entire song in front of Han Shengyao without a mistake.
Before Lin Qianshuang and Han Shengyao left, Du Shuang specially rushed over, seeming to make amends and apologize by giving her a bag of fragrant special pastries from the establishment.
"Remember, if you want Han Shengyao to fall in love with you, you should make her jealous."7
Du Shuang said softly in her ears as she handed her the bag.
Lin Qianshuang froze for a moment before smiling and nodding. She carried the bag and got on the carriage with Han Shengyao.
Du Shuang watched the carriage fade into the distance and sighed.
Last night, she could see that Han Shengyao had some feelings for her disciple. But she knew that with her nature, she would blame 80% of it on desire instead of love.
She didn't want her old friend to follow in her footsteps.
Hopefully, her disciple can pull her out of her repressed emotions.
......
When she returned to the Demon Palace, her senior brothers flocked to her with their usual enthusiasm and asked about the interesting events of her outing.
Surrounded by four good-looking senior brothers, Lin Qianshuang was in a surprisingly good mood.
She distributed the pastries to her senior brothers and told them about the people she had encountered and the events that occurred in Yixiang Establishment. She found a zither and sat down to play a song she had been practicing for a while to her group of expectant senior brothers.
While she was playing, she noticed a slight pain coming from her fingertips as she plucked the strings. Lowering her head, she discovered that at some point, the tips of all her ten fingers revealed her white bones, and the blood and flesh of her arms slowly corroded away in plain sight.3
[I was framed. I want you to take revenge for me and kill the Demon Emperor.]
[If the Demon Emperor is not killed, the curse that I carry will not be broken and you will suffer the pain of corroding into bones every month like I did.]
The final words of the Cang Lan beast came to her mind.
Lin Qianshuang realized that the curse had finally taken effect. She was afraid that she would really turn into a pile of bones just as the Cang Lan beast had said, and didn't know how long the effect would last.
She bit her lower lip. This appearance of hers absolutely must not be shown to Han Shengyao and her senior brothers. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain the abnormality of her body.
"Senior brothers, I'm a little hot, so I'm gonna take a bath."
At that moment, she turned into her silvery-white beast form and rushed out of the cave on her four legs.
Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong were at a loss. Today's climate was rarely cool and pleasant, but it was by no means hot at all.
Junior sister was in such a hurry, could it be...... she was in a hurry to go to the toilet?
