"Eyaah~
♡!"
"Senior Sister?"
Yino heard a strange, sowhat indelicate sound, quickly withdrew the formation, and looked back with a mix of surprise and concern.
But Yuyan was lying at the head of the bed, her face buried in a pillow, making it impossible to see her true expression.
Since she wasn't speaking, Yino didn't dare to continue the technique. The formation was ant to extract spiritual energy from Yuyan's dantian, but Yino was just following the ga's instructions, trying it out for the first ti. If Yuyan felt a sharp pain or sothing went wrong, he couldn't afford to take the responsibility.
"It's nothing... carry on..."
Noticing Yino's gaze on her, Yuyan spoke softly, wriggling a bit to adjust the pillow over her head, signaling that she was fine.
Seeing that she seed okay, Yino went back to studying the formation.
This dark purple formation, though it might look a bit risqué like so sort of erotic symbol from a certain type of manga, was actually a design of intertwined vines forming a violet. From the pattern of petals and vines, one could tell it was a legitimate technique from the Full Moon Sect.
Yino rembered that in the original ga, the Full Moon Sect's Holy Maiden used this technique. When properly applied, it could not only drain spiritual energy but also inject life force through the formation, causing a demonic seed to gestate in the lower abdon of the recipient. Over ti, this seed would absorb the host's life force, eventually sprouting into a flourishing violet.
In the end, this plant would take control of the recipient's body and mind, turning them into a vegetative puppet under the control of the Holy Maiden.
Of course, that was an advanced skill exclusive to the Holy Maiden; Yino wasn't that skilled. He just wanted to try and extract so of his senior sister's spiritual energy.
If this experint worked, he would have a new way to drain energy, aside from sacrifices.
Then, by capturing Jinyue and drawing this formation on her belly, he could regularly drain her spiritual energy, turning her into a sort of mobile power source like the nine-colored deer.
Thinking this, Yino couldn't help but smirk.
He slowly interlocked his thumbs to form a butterfly-like shape, then gently pressed his palms over Yuyan's formation on her abdon.
"Senior Sister, I'm going to try and break the crystals in your dantian."
"It might hurt a bit, please bear with it."
Yino said seriously.
In reality, this step was aningless since Yuyan's dantian had no crystals to break.
But if Yino skipped this step and went straight to draining her energy, it would seem unprofessional.
"Mm~..."

Yuyan didn't make a sound, still hiding her face with the pillow.
Judging by her tense voice, Yino guessed she was gritting her teeth.
"Here we go…!"
As his words fell, Yino symbolically pressed down on her belly.
At the sa ti, the formation emitted a glowing purple light, and the special ointnt on Yuyan's abdon began to be absorbed by her delicate skin.
Then, the protective barrier over her dantian started to erode.
Seizing the opportunity, Yino infused his spiritual energy into her through his palms.
His force wasn't great, just a slight press on her belly, but the main effect was that he successfully injected his spiritual energy into Yuyan's dantian with one breath.
Yino was a bit surprised.
He thought breaking through the natural barrier of soone like Yuyan would be difficult, requiring repeated applications of dicine and spiritual energy lubrication.
But unexpectedly, after drawing the formation and with the aid of the ointnt, he easily broke through the most crucial barrier protecting her internal organs, directly infusing his spiritual energy into her precious and vulnerable dantian.
Now, if Yino had any ill intentions, he could potentially wreak havoc in Yuyan's dantian with his spiritual energy, possibly leaving her crippled or drained of cultivation...
Thinking this, Yino sighed.
Of course, he wouldn't harm Yuyan, but considering the ga's plot and how carelessly his senior sister trusted others, he couldn't help but worry about her.
What if the Full Moon Sect's Holy Maiden did sothing nasty to her one day?
"Actually..."
"I think Senior Sister should train her internal defenses later."
Yino said this while helping to adjust her dantian with a serious tone.
The most critical part was over, and Yuyan no longer felt the unbearable tension. She gradually removed the pillow from her face, her eyes slightly dazed as she watched the boy beside her bed, focused on channeling energy into her abdon.
"Internal defenses?"
Yuyan didn't quite understand.
However, she could feel her dantian being ward and nourished by Yino's spiritual energy.
Suddenly, she thought of sothing:
"Are you talking about the inner realm?"
"Ah, yes! It should be called the inner realm... In short, I want to suggest that Senior Sister find ti to strengthen your inner realm. Otherwise, if soone with ill intent breaks through, they could go straight for your vital organs."
Yino said earnestly, his hand techniques still gentle as he fed spiritual energy into her.
Yuyan watched him, seemingly understanding his concern:
"You're warning because you just easily broke through my inner realm and infused spiritual energy into my dantian?"
"Yeah, look, I'm only at the Core Formation stage, and it was this easy. What if it was one of those evil cultivators?"
"Mm... that makes sense."
Hearing this, Yuyan nodded thoughtfully.
She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and vibrations of spiritual energy in her abdon, spreading through her ridians. The enveloping warmth made her feel drowsy.
"Senior Sister, this is no joke. I've heard that so cultists are quite despicable. They might scatter demonic seeds in water sources, and if a cultivator with weak inner realm protection drinks that contaminated water, the seed could take root inside them. In severe cases, it could turn them into a vegetative state..."
Yino continued to caution her like an experienced old hand from Jianghu.
Yuyan nodded gently, enjoying the warmth from Yino's hands as well as his genuine concern and gentle advice.
At so point, Yuyan's heart was touched, and a bittersweet emotion flowed through her.
No need to guess; she knew this was the feeling of
happiness
.
Before, when Yuyan was careless with her health, eating wild mushrooms and getting food poisoning, her mother would do the sa, gently massaging her belly with spiritual energy while teaching her life lessons and warning her about the dangers of wild animals...
She never thought that after so many years, the feeling of being cared for would co from Yino, who was using spiritual energy and formations to warm her abdon.
At this thought, Yuyan opened her beautiful eyes.
After Yino finished speaking, she spoke softly:
"But all these years, I've only learned sword techniques..."
"My master told that cultivating the sword requires single-minded focus. If you truly comprehend the Dao of the Sword, other paths will crumble on their own."
As she said this, Yuyan kept looking into Yino's eyes.
Though she might not have noticed, from Yino's perspective, the beautiful immortal lying on the bed, speaking softly, had a seductive charm in her eyes.
This was the first ti he had ever felt the word
seductive
could apply to Yuyan; it was a word usually reserved for Jinyue.
But he had to admit, the current Yuyan, with her dantian ward by his energy, was no less charming or endearing.
Could it be that the subtle draining of her spiritual energy made her a bit weak, hence the slightly seductive look?
Yino didn't think Yuyan was that fragile.
More likely, it was a change in her inner self.
However, with Yuyan's seductive gaze fixed on his face, Yino felt like he was on stage, being scrutinized by thousands. The pressure on his shoulders was imnse, and every response had to be carefully considered. If he said anything wrong, he might never see his senior sister in this state again.
"Your Master's advice isn't wrong; the Dao of Sword does require specialization to be powerful. After all, if you kill all your enemies, you don't need to learn defensive techniques."
Yino first affird the sect master's wisdom.
But then, he shifted the conversation, saying with a hint of helplessness, "But Senior Sister, you can fend off open attacks, but hidden dangers are hard to guard against!"
"Those cultists won't challenge you one-on-one like righteous cultivators. They'll use any ans necessary. Look at how Gu Wanglan used underhanded tactics to cause Chen Jianxin's death."
"So, better safe than sorry! I think Senior Sister should still be cautious in daily life."
Yino said earnestly.
If he rembered correctly, in the original work, Yuyan's transformation into a crazed sword immortal in the later plot was partly due to losing her mind after seeing her loved ones die, and partly because she might have been cursed by so shadowy organization behind the scenes, stripping her of the last shred of her personality, leading to her bouts of madness and lucidity.
The hidden plot details weren't clear to him, but at least in this life, Yino wouldn't let Yuyan end up like that, neither human nor ghost.
"Be cautious in daily life..."
Yuyan listened to Yino's concern thoughtfully, then smiled as if she had thought of sothing: "Like, for example, the junior brother who's always eyeing my legs?"
"Ah?"
