Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 66 The Cunning Fish

It all felt like a dream.

As the morning sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, Yang Che groggily woke up from his sleep. A faint fragrance lingered around his nose and mouth. He reached out and weighed it in his hand; it still felt familiar yet strangely heavy.

It can be held in one hand, and although it is not huge, it is plump and delicate, making it irresistible.

There's a saying that goes: "A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body," but there's also another saying: "In the next life, I'll be your ox or horse to repay such a great kindness."

After Jingni tied Zi Nu to his bed to repay a debt of gratitude, Yang Che had given up on Jingni's promise to repay the debt. However, he never expected that just when he had given up, Jingni would offer herself to him.

If it weren't for Jing Ni's unusually awkward demeanor after her domineering and forceful behavior last night, and if it weren't for the blood lotus that bloomed when her desire was at its peak, Yang Che would have even thought that Jing Ni offered herself to him because she didn't care much about her own body.

Just like in the original trajectory, she could sell her body for the sake of the mission.

As Yang Che reminisced, Jing Ni, who had buried her head in the brocade quilt, slowly woke up. After a hard night, it seemed that being murdered was even more exhausting.

However, this feeling was not bad, better than expected. Jingni peeked her head out from under the brocade quilt. Although she was tired last night, she slept very peacefully.

Feeling the warmth around her, Jingni couldn't help but move closer to the source of warmth. Sleeping, besides restoring energy, could be such a comfortable thing.

Jing Ni looked at Yang Che, who was so close to her, her eyes flickering. Was this her choice? Thinking of last night, of their encounter in Korea, of the time they spent living together, a touch of tenderness appeared in her usually cool gaze.

Is this what he meant by "liking"? It's really amazing. I don't know when it started or what it's like, but it just makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed. This feeling is unfamiliar, but also wonderful.

Meeting Jing Ni's gentle gaze, Yang Che felt a sudden tightness in his heart, realizing that he had fallen into Jing Ni's trap last night.

She first repaid a debt of gratitude, and then she might seek revenge for the sword she stabbed last night. Thinking of Jing Ni's short sword that was used to stab people in the lower back, Yang Che's anger that had risen in the morning cooled down slightly, and he quickly took the initiative to say, "Last night, you forced me."

"I was just keeping my promise." Yang Che's reaction surprised Jing Ni, but fortunately, she was an assassin and not a woman in the ordinary sense, so she didn't show much sadness.

"A promise?" Yang Che was taken aback. Could it be that everything that happened last night was just because Jing Ni wanted to repay a debt of gratitude?

Realizing this, Yang Che felt a pang of disappointment. He had to admit that men could be just as dramatic as women.

"I remember you said when you saved me that you saved me because I'm beautiful," Jing Ni explained earnestly.

"Later, I saw that you were interested in the female owner of Zilan Pavilion, and I thought you had taken a liking to her, so I kidnapped her. But you said that you could only do what you did last night if you liked someone—"

Hearing this, Yang Che's disappointment instantly turned into joy, and he quickly asked, "Then what about last night?"

Jing Ni glanced at Yang Che, her expression still cold and seemingly devoid of emotion, but it was rare for her to have such an expression.

Jingni said, "You once said that to like someone is to keep that person in your heart. After leaving you, I found myself thinking about you often, and I can no longer feel empty inside like before."

As Jing Ni spoke, she couldn't hide her tenderness, but Yang Che felt a chill in his heart. What Jing Ni said sounded so much like a demon in his heart. What would people in the Demonic Sect do if they encountered such a thing?

The thought that Jing Ni, though not a vicious villain, was certainly not normal, made Yang Che fear that she might suddenly say, "I'm going to kill you to slay my inner demons."

If you repay kindness first and then seek revenge, then it won't be considered repaying kindness with enmity.

Fortunately, Jing Ni's next words put Yang Che at ease.

"I think this is what you mean by 'like,' and it just so happens that you also liked the way I repaid my kindness last night." Jing Ni reached out and hugged Yang Che's neck.

A rare hint of tenderness and affection appeared on her face.

Yang Che felt that Jing Ni had changed too quickly, but in fact, it was all only natural. At the right time, she met the right person, and so-called love naturally took root and sprouted.

Once she understood her own feelings, she acted without hesitation; this was indeed something Jing Ni was capable of doing.

"So you forced me," Yang Che said, pushing his luck.

When Yang Che mentioned coercion, Jing Ni remained unfazed and retorted bluntly, "It was at first, but it wasn't later."

No, who asked you to explain? Did I ask you to explain?

"Nini, we're flirting!" Yang Che looked at the righteous Jing Ni and was speechless for a moment. The key point was that what she said was the truth.

Seemingly noticing Yang Che's shock, a hint of smugness flashed in Jing Ni's eyes, unnoticed by Yang Che. In truth, she was quite wicked, but she never showed any expression, which was why no one noticed.

Yang Che felt helpless. For some reason, he always felt like he was being manipulated by Jing Ni.

After spending some more time together, the two got up. Jing Ni was leaving, and Yang Che was busy with his own affairs.

As Yang Che got up, he suddenly felt something unusual in his body. With his movements, the flow of true qi seemed to be more vigorous. After a brief sensing, he found that his true qi had actually increased by 10%. But that wasn't the key point. The key point was that the meridians in his body had become more resilient, almost reaching the threshold of a master of innate realm.

Given time, once the necessary accumulation is complete, one can attempt to reach the Innate Realm.

"What is this?" Yang Che looked at Jing Ni with confusion. Only Jing Ni could explain all of this.

"My cultivation method is special; my true energy can help others cultivate. Last night, I used my own true energy to help you regulate your meridians, allowing you to qualify as a master of the Innate Realm in a short period of time," Jing Ni explained.

"How could this method cause you any harm?" Yang Che pressed.

"It only cost me 30% of my power, so it's not a big deal," Jing Ni said, shaking her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Shouldn't Yang Che be happy right now? After a moment of surprise, Jing Ni smiled, a smile that was even more captivating than her unrestrained passion last night.

"Isn't 30% of your power enough? Given your status, what if something goes wrong because of the depletion of your power during a mission?" Yang Che asked with concern. He hadn't known before that Jing Ni could be so impulsive.

"I told my superiors that I was seriously injured during the mission in Xinzheng and it would be difficult for me to carry out the next mission for a while. I need to recuperate during this period," Jing Ni replied.

"Hmm?" Yang Che looked at Jing Ni with suspicion. When did Jing Ni become so cunning? Wasn't she always so stubborn? Always taking on one mission after another.

Otherwise, how could she have become a top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization at such a young age? She was drawn out of the Luo Wang assassin ranks step by step.

A net-catching fish, especially a snare-catching fish; if anyone doesn't believe it, just look at the socks she's putting on her legs right now.

"You asked me before what I cared about, and after thinking about it carefully, I realized there's nothing I care about. So why should I be so obedient?" Jing Ni recalled, her gaze towards Yang Che becoming even gentler. Yang Che always managed to touch her heart, something that had never happened before she met him.

"In your words, I have no weaknesses."

"Achilles' heel" is such a rare word in this era. However, as Jing Ni said, she is actually the slipperiest fish in the net, the most difficult person to control.

Black and White Scissors serve the Net for revenge, because they were deceived; Six Sword Slaves serve to improve their martial arts; and Hidden Sun serves for power. But Jing Ni is different. She has no ties, and the Net really can't push her too far.

"Besides, I have indeed lost 30% of my power." Jing Ni, who was putting on her socks, suddenly raised her head and showed Yang Che a small face. In her smile, there was a hint of cunning. Yang Che seemed to have revealed a side of Jing Ni that no one knew.

"Yes, not only did she lose 30% of her strength, but she was also seriously injured." Seemingly infected by Jing Ni's sudden display of cunning, Yang Che also joked.

This version of Jingni, while lacking the aloofness of our impression, seems even more adorable.

It turns out that every woman, no matter what kind of woman she is, has her own lovable side. The reason why some women seem to lack this side is simply because they haven't met someone worthy of showing that side of themselves.

Seriously injured? Jing Ni was slightly taken aback. She didn't seem to be seriously injured, did she?

"On a dark and windy night, Jing Ni launched a surprise attack on the Korean embassy. However, the Korean envoy's swordsmanship was superb, and blood spurted from his sword. Jing Ni fought all night, and although she eventually killed the enemy until he was sweating profusely and his limbs were weak and unstoppable, she herself was like a burst dam, completely defeated, and in the end, both sides were injured."

Jing Ni had always felt that she was quite slow-witted when she was with Yang Che, but at this moment, she understood what Yang Che was saying, which seemed like a jumble of words, and she understood it in an instant.

However, she was no ordinary woman. If an ordinary woman were to be teased like this by her beloved after her first time, she would probably be furious and embarrassed. She would pounce on him, plead and cry, making her beloved feel guilty and coax her. Then she would carefully choose her stance, feigning reluctance.

Therefore, in the face of Yang Che's almost blatant teasing, Jing Ni remained serious and said, "Last night, I was not completely defeated."

Her focus was solely on whether she was completely defeated; she was even emphasizing that she was not completely defeated.

This time, it was Yang Che's turn to be stunned. After a long while, he finally composed himself and said slowly, "Jing Ni, you really are a strong-willed woman!"
