Waaah, I'm being forced into loving my yandere wife's brain.

Lin Zhiyao looked at the pill, feeling somewhat resistant.

But she knew she couldn't refuse.

On this Cangwu Mountain, Shen Jin's words are the law of nature, and she has no right to disagree.

"it is good."

Lin Zhiyao nodded obediently, "I'll eat after I finish my meal."

As she spoke, she began to eat, but with her sister on her mind, she lost her appetite and only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

My younger sister has a bad leg, I wonder if she's sleeping well in the new place? Is she scared? Has she cried?

I thought of my little sister's round face with tears in her eyes.

Lin Zhiyao felt bitter and sour in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. She forced herself to drink two more mouthfuls of soup and then put down the silver spoon.

"I'm stuffed."

Lin Zhiyao raised her head and looked at the maid.

Then, at the maid's prompting, he picked up the emerald green pill and swallowed it whole.

The moment the pill entered her stomach, Lin Zhiyao felt a cool sensation slide down her throat. Although she was surprised, thinking that things from immortals were indeed different, she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Can I go see my sister now?"

Lin Zhiyao looked anxiously at the maid.

The maid nodded.

Lin Zhiyao was overjoyed, but before she could stand up, a burning sensation suddenly surged through her body.

"Ugh—"

It's so hot.

It felt like it was burning her whole body, inside and out.

Lin Zhiyao hunched over, clutching her clothes tightly with both hands, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

Immediately afterwards, she felt something seeping out from the surface of her skin.

A strange, black, sticky substance with a fishy stench.

It's being expelled little by little from the pores.

Lin Zhiyao looked down at the dark, unsightly things on the back of her hand, before she could even make out what they were—

It's black in front of you.

She collapsed limply to the ground.

---

When she woke up again, Lin Zhiyao smelled a faint floral fragrance.

Warm, moist air filled the surroundings, creating a misty, dreamlike atmosphere, like a fairyland.

She felt as if she were soaking in warm water, the water was so warm that it seeped into her limbs and bones, and her whole body felt as if it had been ironed, it was so comfortable.

Lin Zhiyao slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing you see is a spacious hot spring pool.

The pool walls are made of warm jade, smooth and lustrous. On the water's surface float crabapple blossoms, their delicate pink and white petals swaying gently with the ripples.

The hot spring pool is so large that you can swim in it.

The surroundings were shrouded in mist, obscuring everything. Only the carved beams and painted rafters were vaguely visible, with cranes circling above them, and a sweet, ethereal atmosphere permeating the air.

She was leaning against the warm jade steps, the water up to her collarbone, with only her head and shoulders showing.

The clothes I was wearing had been changed at some point.

Her own coarse cloth clothes were gone again, as were the gorgeous clothes she wore that morning. In their place was a light purple gauze, as thin as a cicada's wing, soaked through and clinging to her body, covering nothing at all.

Lin Zhiyao instinctively hugged herself, somewhat bewildered.

She remembered taking the pill, then feeling feverish all over, and then—

"You're awake."

A deep voice came from beside me, cool and clear like piled-up jade, with a hint of unhurried laziness.

It's a very pleasant voice.

This caused Lin Zhiyao's body to stiffen reflexively for a moment, and then she slowly turned her head.

Shen Jin sat next to her.

He was half-submerged in the water, leaning against the wall of the warm jade pool, shirtless, revealing the well-defined muscles of his shoulders and back, in a relaxed posture.

In the misty haze, his handsome face stood out, his dark hair half-wet, a few strands clinging to his pale porcelain skin, water droplets trickling down his collarbone.

Those fox-like eyes were fixed on her, their color deep and their emotions unreadable.

Lin Zhiyao's thin dough turned bright red instantly.

She instinctively backed away until her back hit the warm jade steps, only to find that there was nowhere to retreat.

"S-Sir, Immortal Lord..."

Lin Zhiyao's voice trembled, "How did I get here?"

Shen Jin did not answer.

He reached out, his slender fingers parting a crabapple blossom on the water's surface, casually playing with it.

The petals were crushed between his fingertips, and the juice stained his pale skin, giving him an eerie appearance that seemed out of place with his looks.

Lin Zhiyao's heart trembled as she watched.

I felt like she was like these fragile flower petals, about to be crushed.

"This is the Lingquan Hot Spring."

Shen Jin spoke slowly and succinctly, "After taking the pills, the impurities in my body have been expelled."

He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zhiyao.

"You have now been completely transformed and are ready to cultivate."

Lin Zhiyao was stunned.

practice?

What kind of work could a village woman like her do?

Shen Jin seemed to see through her doubts and said calmly, "The mortal body is too fragile and cannot withstand much hardship."

He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over Lin Zhiyao, and when he saw the red marks that the light gauze could not cover, his fox-like eyes grew even deeper.

"Last night, you couldn't take it anymore even when I had just started."

Lin Zhiyao's face instantly turned red.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, wishing she could bury herself completely in the water.

Shen Jin reached out, pinched her chin, and forced her to raise her head, his fox-like eyes gripping her trembling gaze.

"So," Shen Jin said, wiping the water droplets still clinging to her chin with his fingertips, his voice low and laced with a cryptic smile, "I'll cleanse your meridians and strengthen your body so you can withstand more."

Lin Zhiyao's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, her pink lips parted slightly, trembling, but she didn't know what to say.

She couldn't understand anything about cleansing the marrow or cultivation, but she could understand the phrase "to enable you to endure more".

What else?

Don't even think about it.

Lin Zhiyao bit her lip, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes began to redden again.

Shen Jin looked at her pretty face, which looked like she had been bullied badly, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

He released her chin, stepped back, and leaned back against the pool wall.

"Your sister is in the side courtyard, she's being taken care of, she's well-fed and warmly dressed, so don't worry."

Lin Zhiyao felt relieved upon hearing the news about her sister, but then her heart tightened again.

Even though my younger sister is well taken care of, they have relied on each other since they were little. My sister is still very young now, and she must still be scared if she doesn't see her for a long time.

"Lord Immortal Lord."

Lin Zhiyao pleaded softly, her expression pitiful, as if afraid Shen Jin would change his mind. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the light veil in front of her. "I want to see my sister."

Shen Jin glanced at her. "Okay."

Lin Zhiyao had just shown a look of joy.

"But not now."

Shen Jin reached out and touched his lips with his fingertip. "What you need to do now is come over and kiss me."
