Chapter 11 is beyond redemption. [Please continue reading!]
That restless feeling was finally suppressed.
Some color returned to her face, but a lingering weariness and... remained in her eyes.
And what?
She herself couldn't explain it clearly.
Just then, a clear sound came from outside the courtyard gate.
"Senior sister—!"
Yi Qingwu paused for a moment, then quickly got out of bed, straightened her clothes, smoothed her slightly messy hair, and patted her face to make her complexion look more normal.
After everything was tidied up, she went over and opened the door.
A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old was standing outside the door.
She wore a green feather robe, the thin fabric of which clung to her delicate body, outlining her budding curves.
The little girl has a round, baby-like face, big, bright eyes like two black grapes, and two shallow dimples when she smiles.
Her name is Su Xiaoxiao. She is Yi Qingwu's junior sister and the youngest inner disciple of Guanghan Palace.
Despite his young age, he possesses exceptional talent and outstanding physical attributes, and is highly regarded by Nangong Nayue.
"Xiaoxiao," Yi Qingwu said with a smile.
"Senior Sister, this is a piece of sacred medicine that the Palace Master ordered to be sent to you." Su Xiaoxiao held up the tray in her hand, on which was placed a jade box. The jade box was emerald green and emitted a faint fluorescent light.
The holy medicine.
This is an extremely valuable resource for any cultivator.
Although the Guanghan Palace has a profound foundation, sacred medicines are not something that can be taken out casually.
Nangong Nayue's gift of sacred medicine to Yi Qingwu demonstrates the importance she places on this disciple.
"Please thank Master for me," Yi Qingwu said gently as she accepted the jade box.
"Mmm!" Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, then tilted her head to look at Yi Qingwu. "Senior Sister, why do you look a little tired? Is your cultivation too strenuous?"
Yi Qingwu's fingers tightened slightly, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.
"Yeah, I'm a bit tired after just breaking through."
"Then, Senior Sister, please rest well. I won't bother you anymore!" Su Xiaoxiao bowed obediently and then skipped away.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the laurel grove, her green feathered dress resembling a light leaf in the moonlight.
Yi Qingwu closed the door, took the jade box, and returned to her room.
Upon opening the jade box, one finds a section of the sacred herb root, about the length of a finger. It is entirely silvery-white, radiating a cool moonlight, and exudes a fragrant aroma that is so enticing that just smelling it makes one feel refreshed.
This is a sacred medicine made from moonlight, unique to the Moon Palace, and can never be found in the outside world.
But looking at this piece of sacred medicine, Yi Qingwu felt no joy at all.
She placed the jade box on the table, walked to the window, and opened it.
The night breeze blew in, carrying the fragrance of laurel trees and the unique chill of the snow-capped mountains.
The moonlight, like water, shone on her face and body, illuminating her exquisite, almost unreal face, making her look like a fairy from the moon palace.
She looked at the moon outside the window, but her eyes were empty.
My mind is a complete mess.
All she could think about now was how to deceive her master and her fiancé, Yin Tiande.
Her body has been lost.
If Master finds out about this, if Yin Tiande finds out...
The marriage alliance between the Moon Palace and the Eight Views Palace will fall through.
And she, the goddess of the Moon Palace, will also lose everything.
She dared not imagine the more serious consequences.
If a behemoth like the Eight Views Palace knew that its successor had been cuckolded, how would it treat the Moon Palace?
What will Master think of her?
How will Yin Tiande treat her?
"It's all that man's fault!"
Yi Qingwu bit her lip, her eyes reddening, her voice filled with grievance and resentment.
"One day, I will definitely pay them back tenfold!"
She said it through gritted teeth, but even she could tell that there was no murderous intent in her words.
There was not a trace of murderous intent in him.
She hates herself.
I hate myself for not being able to hate myself.
That bastard stole her innocence and everything she had left for her fiancé. She should hate him to the core.
but……
Whenever she tried to muster her hatred for Ye Feng, certain scenes from those three days and three nights would flash through her mind.
The way Ye Feng held her, the way he kissed her, the way he whispered in her ear, and all those scenes that made her blush and her heart race whenever she thought about them.
Those images were like poison, eroding her reason and making it impossible for her to hate.
"I don't want to think about it anymore!"
Yi Qingwu shook her head vigorously and closed the window.
She decided to take a shower first.
Wash all the dirt off your body.
Wash away all traces, smells, and marks that belong to that bastard.
She wanted to wash herself clean, as if those three days and three nights had never happened.
There is a hot spring bath in the backyard, which is the Moonlight Spring unique to Guanghan Palace.
Spring water gushes from the ground, carrying a faint silvery glow. The water temperature is just right, and soaking in it can cleanse the body, relieve fatigue, and purify impurities.
Yi Qingwu removed her clothes, revealing her exquisite and shapely body.
Moonlight streamed in through the skylight above, illuminating her.
Her skin was very white, as white as the finest mutton-fat jade, shimmering with a faint silver light under the moonlight. Her collarbones were delicate, her waist slender, and her legs long and straight; every curve was just right, neither too plump nor too thin.
This is the body of the most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Star Domain.
Countless cultivators dream of catching a glimpse of her beauty, yet they never have the chance.
Yi Qingwu stepped into the spring water, where the warm water flowed over her ankles, calves, and waist, eventually reaching her chest.
She leaned against the pool, closed her eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief.
The warm spring water enveloped her body, gradually melting away her fatigue and tension.
But those things imprinted deep in the soul can never be washed away.
There was a faint red mark on my collarbone—left by some bastard.
Yi Qingwu's eyes reddened again as she looked at the marks.
She scooped up a handful of water and vigorously scrubbed the marks, as if trying to erase them completely from her skin and from her memory.
But those marks are etched into my bones, into my soul, and can never be washed away.
……
And on the eaves.
Ye Feng was lying there, admiring the beautiful view of the bathtub below through the crack in the skylight.
He followed Yi Qingwu's scent all the way to the Guanghan Palace.
With the Goddess Furnace, a quasi-Emperor artifact, it's quite easy to sneak into the Guanghan Palace, which lacks Supreme Emperor Weapons, without being detected.
The Goddess Furnace emitted a faint halo, completely shielding his aura. Even a powerful expert like Nangong Nayue, who was at the Sendai Realm, could not sense his presence.
He lay on the eaves, from which he could see Yi Qingwu in the bathtub.
Moonlight Spring, shimmering with silver light, where a beautiful woman emerges from her bath.
This scene was probably witnessed by only him in the entire Ziwei Starfield.
No, it should be said that he was the only one in the entire Ziwei Star Domain who dared to look.
As Ye Feng watched Yi Qingwu wash her body in the spring water, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
