Chapter 247 Getting Soaked by the Waterfall? He Actually Wants to Use Me as a Furnace!
She reached into her storage bag and put her spoils into it with a confident and unpretentious gesture.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect nodded in satisfaction and turned to continue on his way.
Five steps away, Lin Miaoyin's lowered eyelashes concealed the icy coldness surging deep within her pupils.
The acting was excellent.
It sounded so good that she almost believed it.
Every night when setting up camp, Lin Miaoyin would smile and tell the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect to get some rest.
Then he sat cross-legged in a corner twenty feet away from him.
The moment she closed her eyes, her expression changed from gentle to icy.
She silently formed hand seals under her knees, and three extremely concealed poison arrays spread out along the cracks in the stone beneath her.
It is triggered by touch and there is no cure.
Instinct told her that the more perfect the act of charity, the more deadly the trap it was.
One evening.
Lin Miaoyin squatted in front of a collapsed stone pillar, her fingertips touching the core node of the array pattern, her spiritual power slowly seeping in to probe the structure of the restriction.
The steady breathing of the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect came from behind, exactly seven zhang away.
She didn't turn around.
But her gaze fell on the extremely smooth obsidian pillar in front of her.
The cross-section was so smooth it could reflect a person's image.
In the reflection of the cross-section, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect stood seven feet behind her, his arms crossed over his chest.
He wore the same gentle smile that had been playing on his lips for the past few days.
But his eyes weren't smiling.
In the deepest part of those dark pupils, at an angle he thought Lin Miaoyin couldn't see, a fleeting glimmer of light flashed.
Lin Miaoyin was all too familiar with that kind of light.
The Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect had seen far too many men look at her with greedy, awe-inspiring, covetous, and fearful eyes.
At that moment, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect was looking at a rare artifact that he had not yet obtained.
It is measuring the quality of a high-grade furnace cauldron.
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, so fast that even ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivators might not be able to catch it.
But Lin Miaoyin caught it.
Because she learned from a young age to recognize malice in any reflection.
Her fingertips paused on the array patterns for less than half a breath before resuming her normal probing rhythm.
"Young Master, the core of this formation is at the third pivot point on the left. I'll break it."
"Thank you for your trouble, Holy Maiden." The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect's gentle voice came from behind.
Lin Miaoyin broke through the restriction with a smile on her face, her expression flawless.
After an unknown period of time, she deliberately took advantage of the young master's absence while he was out inspecting the movements of the monsters, and changed her route to sneak behind a hidden waterfall concealed by dense vines.
The icy water curtain isolated her from the outside world.
She took off her outer robe, which was splattered with the blood of demonic beasts, and used a water talisman to wash away the dried and hardened dark red marks on her neck and arms.
The sound of the water was loud, which perfectly masked the faint fluctuations of her spiritual energy secretly circulating within her body, searching for the surrounding area within a radius of several dozen feet.
Half an incense stick later, the vines on the outside of the waterfall were pushed aside from the outside.
The voice of the young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect came through the water curtain, his tone carrying just the right amount of apology.
"Your Highness, we have just discovered a nest of Core Formation stage demonic beasts three miles to the north. I've come to report this."
"Sorry to bother you."
Lin Miaoyin had already dressed. She wrung out the water from her hair, lifted the curtain of water, and went outside.
"Young Master, your investigation is meticulous; you've worked hard."
She smiled and spoke in a warm tone, as if thanking a trustworthy companion.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect smiled and took two steps back, politely making way for her.
The two walked away side by side, their backs showing a remarkable tacit understanding.
However, after Lin Miaoyin took twenty steps, the hand hidden in her sleeve trembled slightly.
She had just used her spiritual power to examine every rock and every vine within a forty-foot radius.
There was no fluctuation of energy from the lair of demonic beasts.
not a single one.
He's lying.
The only reason he followed her here was because she briefly slipped out of his sight.
A person flashed through her mind without warning.
The invisible junior brother who used his not-so-broad back to block three flying swords for her on the rocky hill.
Even when he tricked her into running away, his eyes only showed anxiety and sincerity.
The man in front of her, who spoke lies so gently and considerately, even had his breathing frequency carefully designed.
are different.
On one occasion, Lin Miaoyin fought a dozen or so rounds with an armored lizard at the peak of the Intelligence Realm.
She wasn't unable to win; she was just deliberately delaying the pace of the battle.
In the fourteenth round, she slightly shifted her body to the side, exposing her left arm to the lizard's venomous stinger.
The stinger grazed the outside of my forearm, leaving a bleeding wound.
Lin Miaoyin let out a muffled groan and retreated three zhang.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect instantly appeared, smashing the lizard's head with a single punch before turning to examine her wound.
"They've been poisoned by a demon; we need to deal with it quickly."
He took out a pill from his pocket, which emitted a strange and pleasant fragrance. It was round and full, and of extremely high quality.
"Top-grade Healing Pill, a secret recipe of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is ten times better than those cheap medicines on the market, and is specially designed to cure demonic poisoning."
He spoke urgently yet with restraint as he brought the pill to Lin Miaoyin's lips.
Lin Miaoyin raised her phoenix eyes, which were filled with pain and gratitude, and looked at him for two breaths.
"Thank you, young master."
She opened her mouth and put the pill in her mouth.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect's pupils contracted subtly, and the curve of his lips softened to the extreme.
Lin Miaoyin's tongue had already touched her teeth the instant the pill touched her teeth.
He used his late-stage Core Formation spiritual power to tightly wrap it and press it into the muscle depression below the root of the tongue.
There was no swallowing.
Not a single drop of medicine seeped into the throat.
"It tastes good."
She mumbled something indistinctly and reached out to cover the wound on her left arm.
He made a gesture as if he were using spiritual energy to heal himself after taking the medicine.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect patted her on the shoulder.
"Rest first, I'll keep watch tonight."
Lin Miaoyin nodded gratefully, turned around and sat cross-legged behind a rock, closing her eyes in his direction.
That night.
A three-layered array that isolated her divine sense enveloped her in an absolutely hidden space.
She turned her head and spat the intact pill from under her tongue into her palm.
The spiritual light on the surface of the pill flickered faintly in the darkness, making it look no different from an ordinary top-grade healing pill.
Lin Miaoyin took out a sharpened silver needle from her storage bag.
The silver needle pierced the surface of the pill, slowly penetrating deeper into its core.
The silver needle did not turn black.
It emitted a faint purple glow.
The purple light was so faint that it almost blended into the darkness.
If she hadn't brought the silver needle within three inches and repeatedly examined it using the secret poison-detecting technique of the Hehuan Sect, it would have been impossible to detect it.
Lin Miaoyin paused for two breaths.
Controlling Spirit Powder.
One of the seven forbidden medicines of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
A single dose is harmless and leaves no trace; even a celestial being could not detect anything unusual.
However, after 36 repetitions over a period of time, the medicinal effects will completely penetrate the sea of consciousness.
It turns the user into a perfectly obedient puppet.
Retain all cultivation, retain all consciousness, retain all intelligence.
The only thing they lost was the ability to refuse.
That's the most insidious part.
It's not about simply and brutally controlling a useless pawn, but about carefully taming a complete Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect.
Along with all the secrets in her mind about the core techniques and trump cards of the Hehuan Sect.
Lin Miaoyin crushed the pill in her palm.
The powder spilled from between her fingers, emitting a brief, faint purple glow before fading into silence.
She looked down at the residue of medicine left in her palm, her eyes filled with an intense killing intent, which she gradually suppressed.
We must not alert the enemy.
The young master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, at the peak of the late Core Formation stage, possesses unknown tracking methods and a meticulously planned scheme.
If confronted head-on, she wouldn't survive more than thirty breaths.
She slowly closed her eyes, and began to construct a detailed countermeasure roadmap in her mind.
