Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

It's like a flower field that's been parched for years; no matter how much water you irrigate, it never gets thoroughly soaked.

Since that's the case, Chi Junlin decided to put in more effort and take this opportunity to cultivate with Wei Ziqing again.

To fill the physical void that had been in her body for many years.

Before starting, Chi Junlin thought about it again and concluded that Sword Emperor Peak should be safe at this time.

Since Madam Di and her son have been placed under guard, there should be no threat in the courtyard and pavilion.

So even if you get a little heat poison during dual cultivation, it doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Chi Junlin gently placed Wei Ziqing on the bed and kissed her softly.

Wei Ziqing seemed to know what was about to happen, appearing both nervous and expectant.

This dreamlike feeling eventually transformed into a passionate kiss.

"Well--"

-

This night of dual cultivation felt exceptionally long for Chi Junlin.

She felt herself drifting between a hazy state and a clear state, under the influence of the heat toxin in Wei Ziqing's body.

The kisses at night seemed never to stop.

In the dim light, Chi Junlin sensed a strange fragrance.

The exotic fragrance intoxicated and delighted her, and she also felt a strange sense of familiarity.

In that instant, Chi Junlin suddenly became alert.

Because she realized that Wei Ziqing didn't have this fragrance on her!

Chi Junlin immediately opened his eyes and almost instinctively reached out to grab the neck of the woman he had just kissed.

She struggled to breathe, pleading with Chi Junlin in a sorrowful voice, "Please...please..."

Her earnest tone made Chi Junlin feel that she seemed to have some unavoidable difficulties.

Moreover, the woman was clean, and there was nowhere for her to hide a weapon.

In other words, she has no ability to harm herself.

So Chi Junlin let go of her hand and let her lean closer to him.

During the kiss, Chi Junlin vaguely sensed that he was not alone.

But her consciousness became increasingly clouded, and she was unable to think clearly.

Has someone else... secretly come over... to practice dual cultivation with me?

-

When the sunlight shone on Chi Junlin's eyes and brought her back to consciousness, it was already dawn the next day.

The bed was a bit messy, but Wei Ziqing was sleeping peacefully beside him with a sweet and calm smile.

Her breath, carrying a faint fragrance, sprayed onto Chi Junlin's shoulder, giving him a warm and pleasant feeling.

Chi Junlin sat up slightly, then raised one hand and gently sniffed his palm, as if savoring some scent.

Wei Ziqing immediately regained her senses after Chi Junlin made a slight movement.

She was taken aback when she saw Chi Junlin's profile.

Then, blush quickly spread across her cheeks.

After sitting up, Wei Ziqing immediately covered his chest with a blanket.

Then he greeted Chi Junlin softly, "Nephew Lin... good morning..."

Chi Junlin gave Wei Ziqing a slight smile, but the smile was somewhat pale.

She tried to get up, but her steps became unsteady and she felt dizzy.

Wei Ziqing was startled and quickly took her arm, asking, "Nephew Lin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Junlin immediately frowned deeply and said, "Last night... someone came again..."

Wei Ziqing was startled upon hearing this and felt a little nervous. She immediately looked around and said, "This... how come there are people again... wasn't Di Shanshan already tied up?"

Chi Junlin shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Moreover, she felt that there was more than one person who came last night!

Because after she got up, she felt extremely depleted!

This time it felt like being fried by fifty Lou Xiangfei all night long!

What kind of heroes can withstand such exploitation!

Chi Junlin had a feeling that if she didn't find out the truth about Sword Emperor Peak sooner or later, she would be squeezed to death in Hidden Sword Manor!

Thinking of this, Chi Junlin gritted his teeth.

After adjusting his internal energy, Chi Junlin came out of his and Wei Ziqing's room.

Upon entering the corridor, I did not see anyone else.

However, Chi Junlin soon noticed something unusual in front of his room.

That's on the opposite side of the wall, where there's a faint bloodstain.

It looks like someone was injured and blood splattered in this spot.

Chi Junlin frowned and pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a door opening from the side.

Hui Zhilan walked out of the door with a slightly nervous expression.

Then, she saw Chi Junlin standing in the corridor.

After the two looked at each other, Hui Zhilan showed a somewhat flustered expression and retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Lingqiu also came out from inside.

She gently touched her forehead, her expression suggesting a headache.

Upon seeing Chi Junlin, Feng Lingqiu was somewhat surprised, but seeing that Chi Junlin's expression was off, she immediately realized what had happened.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing Feng Lingqiu's question, Chi Junlin remained silent for a while.

Then he said directly, "Summon everyone here, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingqiu immediately nodded.

And soon after, it was back at the round table in the courtyard living room.

Everyone still alive in the courtyard, including Di Shanshan who was tied up, had gathered here.

Reassuringly, after last night, the number of people present had not decreased.

But everyone looked somewhat uneasy at this moment.

Because they quickly realized that something was wrong.

Chapter 172 If one isn't enough, bring in more...

Seeing Chi Jun sitting at the table with a pale face, the people at the table all looked at him with concern.

Tong Yan immediately asked her, "What's wrong? Did you get tired from detoxing Ziqing last night?"

Upon hearing Tong Yan's words, Wei Ziqing's face immediately turned red.

Chi Junlin waved his hand, indicating that he was unharmed.

Meanwhile, the other women also noticed that Wei Ziqing's face was rosy and her beauty was like a flower, showing some of the graceful charm she had in her youth.

Yan Sijun sat next to her, and the two of them looked like sisters at first glance.

Strangely, even though her mother's health had improved, Yan Sijun seemed somewhat absent-minded.

And his arm was always under the table, as if he was hiding something.

After a moment's thought, Chi Junlin spoke up, "You all seemed to have slept well last night? Did you notice anything amiss?"

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately exchanged bewildered glances.

Then, they each recalled what had happened the night before.

Tong Yan spoke first, "Last night I was practicing my cultivation before bed, and before I finished, I fell asleep without even realizing it."

However, before I fell completely asleep, I vaguely heard some noises outside.

It sounds like... people fighting with weapons?

She frowned as she spoke, saying uncertainly, "It could be my imagination."

Then, Feng Lingqiu added, "I think... I heard it too."

At this moment, everyone present realized that something was wrong.

That was last night; it seems everyone slept too well.

I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the bed, without being particularly alert.

This is in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere they felt in the courtyard yesterday.

While the women were discussing these matters, Chi Junlin's eyes remained fixed on Di Shanshan's face.

Di Shanshan wore a smile the whole time, exchanging glances with Chi Junlin.

I even felt a little excited.

At this moment, Chi Junlin cleared his throat.

The women present then all turned their attention to her.

So Chi Junlin spoke up, "Let me tell you first, last night... someone came to my room again."

Hearing Chi Junlin's words, the women were all taken aback.

Di Shanshan then revealed a smug smile, as if her evil scheme had succeeded.

Tong Yan immediately asked anxiously, "Have you been used as a furnace again?"

Chi Junlin nodded and replied, "The Scarlet Thoughts are not Scarlet Thoughts, the Divine Goddess Technique... It seems someone is determined to use this method to forcibly extract the internal energy from my body."

If once isn't enough, then try again... If one isn't enough, then try several? That's really vicious..."

Wenren Tianxia seemed somewhat taken aback. She glanced at Di Shanshan, then said to Chi Junlin, "But...wasn't Di Shanshan already tied up? She's in my room. Does she have some way to break free?"

Upon hearing this, Di Shanshan immediately smiled, seemingly amused.

Wenren Tianxia felt a certain anger.

With a determined look, he drew his sword and pointed it at her neck, saying, "Why don't we just kill her!"

Seeing this, Di Shanshan panicked and said innocently, "It might not even be me who did it. Besides, I'm already out of the game, why are you still shouting for help? This isn't how you play the game!"

"Who's playing games with you? Killing you would be the end of it all, why make such a fuss!"

"No! It really wasn't me this time! Please spare my life!"

Looking at her affected expression, Wenren Tianxia couldn't help but feel angry.

But Chi Junlin raised his hand, signaling Wenren Tianxia not to rush.

Then, Chi Junlin frowned and said, "Clearly, someone is very interested in the internal energy within me. If I can't hold on, and my internal energy is truly squeezed out, no one here will be a match for her."

And last night, she almost succeeded!

As Chi Junlin spoke, he recalled the feeling of being fried on both sides last night, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

She's grown up so much, and she's always the one exploiting others, never the one being exploited like this!

The other women immediately looked tense, clearly understanding that the current situation was not good.

Chi Junlin was subjected to dual cultivation at night, while the others inexplicably slept soundly.

Unfortunately, with only three days left before reinforcements arrived, they were unable to leave this awful place.

If this continues, and if Chi Junlin's powerful internal energy is truly squeezed out of that person, then probably no one present will be left alive.
