Sorry for the delays.
I’ve noticed that many people are going to other websites to read the Chapters.As I ntioned before, this ruins the daily release schedule and slows down the uploads.
From now on, we won’t be changing Chapters after uploading them—we’ll just publish directly.
So please support us by only reading on Webnovel and not on any other sites.
Thank you again, and enjoy the mass release!

i slamd him down against the tree with a cold laugh. Yino blinked rapidly, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
What the hell just happened? He told himself he should have seen this coming, but the truth was he’d been blind to every warning sign and red flag.
He grasped once again what people ant by a chain reaction.
If he hadn’t gotten so carried away drinking dragon blood, he wouldn’t have stayed behind to trade blows with Elder Ming. If he hadn’t fought Ming, he could’ve escaped before Jinyue’s illusion shattered. If he’d run fast enough, i wouldn’t have gotten the chance to fight Ming. If i hadn’t battled Ming, she wouldn’t have triggered her blood rage, much less used that killing intent to break free from Yino’s control...
When it ca down to it, Yino had miscalculated.
Elder Ming’s three devastating punches had left him severely injured. Every breath sent fire through his ribs. He couldn’t resist i in her red flower form, blood rage had boosted her from Divine Transformation to Emptiness Refining stage while killing intent consud her thoughts.
Beyond that, Lily and Wangxue provided support but couldn’t protect him from i’s wrath. Jinyue needed cooldown ti, and Ruoning had only peak Core Formation, the gap between her and i stretched like heaven and earth.
"D... didn’t you say you were Yino’s mistress before? What the hell do you want now?!"
Ruoning’s voice cracked. Her hands trembled as she pressed herself deeper into the thicket, trying to beco invisible.
I’m so fucking useless. The thought hit her like a slap. Tonight had really shown her how small she stood in this world. Under Yino and i’s supernatural displays, Ruoning felt like a kitten that hadn’t grown its claws yet, nothing more than an object they tossed around, with no right to speak.
The situation brought back mories of Azure Forest. The difference struck her, back then she didn’t know how weak she stood and had acted blindly arrogant. At least then I had ignorance as an excuse. This ti, she recognized the gap. Despite half a year of desperate cultivation, she still couldn’t keep up with Yino’s pace, much less help him in this dangerous situation.
"Mistress? Hehe... right, I’m just a re mistress after all!"
Sothing dark flickered across i’s face. Her jaw clenched tight enough to crack teeth. She suddenly raised her hand, sending out a plum blossom branch that grabbed Ruoning from the distance.
Though Ruoning tried to struggle, the cultivation gap spanned more than two major realms. If Yino couldn’t match i at her peak, Ruoning might as well have beco a living doll in her grasp.
"Hey, calm down, just calm down!"
Cold sweat broke out across Yino’s forehead. "Take your revenge on if you want, but she’s the Liu family’s young miss. If she loses so much as a finger tonight, neither of us will leave Jiangnan alive!"
But the more he spoke, the tighter the plum branch squeezed Ruoning’s throat. i’s cold smile gradually turned rigid, as if she silently demonstrated so kind of rebellion and revenge against Yino.
Fuck. If I say the wrong thing and Ruoning dies. Say nothing and she still might die. Yino’s throat felt dry as sandpaper.
He still had Nina’s dragon seal as a trump card, but even Elder Ming at Emptiness Refining stage had fled after their beating. Using it on i would be like swatting a fly with a sledgehamr. He couldn’t exactly waste the dragon seal at a ti like this.
If i died, Yino would just lose a powerful ally.
"Heh~ Look how scared you’ve beco."
"Does this silly girl matter to you? Emotionally important, or just for profit?"
"All this ti, I’ve never seen you look so terrified~"
i was enjoying this, he could hear it in her voice. She studied his face like she was morizing every micro-expression. "Looks like you’re not as cold and heartless as I thought. Deep down, you’re no different from all those righteous cultivators who beca fertilizer for my plum blossoms~"
At so point, sothing sick and twisted had crept into her smile. She casually tossed Ruoning into the nearby grass like garbage, then walked forward with her crimson twin-tails swaying, approaching the Yino suspended in mid-air.
i raised her finger, and Yino slowly descended from above.
He didn’t struggle.
He let i bring her palm to his face for so playful caressing until he finds a chance to turn the table.
"Though..."
"Your frightened expression looks much more adorable than those righteous cultivators I’ve seen."
The flower demon girl suddenly smiled seductively, her eyes gleaming with predatory and excitent.
After that laugh, sothing snapped back into place. Her expression twisted into pure mania: "Yino, the more you show that terrified look, the more you glare at with those eyes, the more excited I get wanting to provoke you further..."
"You know why?"
Yino braced himself for whatever poison she’d been brewing.
"Because from the first mont I saw you in the demon abyss, you’ve looked down on with those contemptuous eyes!"
Her voice rose with each word, years of resentnt finally boiling over. "In your view, I- a holy maiden of the Full Moon Sect - am nothing but a foolish female, a chess piece for you to manipulate, a potted plant or pet for you to train and dominate at will..."
The flower demon girl’s resentnt grew heavier as she spoke, her eyes bloodshot with rage. As i’s mood destabilized, her body radiated increasingly terrifying energy fluctuations.
The thought ca unbidden, and Yino hated himself for it. This represented i’s special trait. In the ga, she embodied the classic "low health, high damage" character. Now that Yino had experienced rebirth into this world, he witnessed firsthand how devastating her critical health rampage setting could beco.
"You did scare ."
His voice ca out steady, controlled. "So you win. What kind of revenge do you want now?"
Even as the flower demon girl laughed maniacally, Yino kept his expression carved from stone.
His words hit her like ice water. The joy drained from her face instantly. She dropped her smile and stared coldly into his eyes:
"That expression again..."
Her hands curled into fists. "That arrogant look again... that dismissive, emotionless tone..."
i murmured her dissatisfaction like a prayer. Suddenly she shot out her hand to grab Yino’s throat while her other hand summoned that plum blossom sword, still warm with fresh blood, pressing it against his face.
"Yino, why haven’t you realized the situation you’re in?!"
Because showing fear will only make this worse. But he kept that thought locked away.
"When I beca your prisoner, you ca to humiliate every night. You forced to morize your scent and taste, made do obedience training like a dog... but you know what? I will never NEVER learn to love your sll or your bodily fluids! I never once felt pleasure from your attention!"
The words poured out like blood from a wound. "All of that ca from just Liuli’s evil magic tampering with my consciousness! Every sound I made, every expression, it was all just acting! All just performance to please you!"
Is she trying to convince or herself? But as i’s emotions cracked further, that stone-faced expression seed to mock her even more.
"Right, you’re absolutely correct. I never tad you. It was all just your acting..."
Before he could finish, i’s face flushed crimson. Her fist drove into his stomach like a sledgehamr.
Cough!
Copper filled his mouth. But when that blood and saliva splattered across i’s face, her brutal expression dominated by revenge suddenly froze.
The demon girl looked dazed, like she’d just woken from a trance. She unconsciously raised her hand to touch the corner of Yino’s mouth, wiping the blood onto her finger, then reflexively slipped that finger into her mouth for a gentle taste.
What am I doing?
"No! That’s not right!!"
