172: Chapter 174 Sister, I'm a woman too, I have desires too.

"Sister Lu, how would I dare hide anything from you? I just have a bit of an upset stomach!"

"Slick-tongued!" Lu Jiajing said with a hint of anger, "You! You're just like him, never speaking up when something's wrong and letting it rot in your stomach!"

"It's nothing, Sister. I really just haven't adjusted to the environment lately!" Pei Yuhan glanced at the Pill Furnace and clutched her stomach, saying, "Maybe I stayed in the Sect for too long, and now that I'm out, I'm feeling the effects of the change in climate!"

Lu Jiajing patted Pei Yuhan's shoulder. She knew that Ye Linyuan only had this one disciple. Since the establishment of the Sword Sect, Pei Yuhan had basically stayed within the Sect, so she was bound to be lonely...

Lu Jiajing said, "Don't keep secrets bottled up inside. I'm always here; I can keep you company..."

Pei Yuhan smiled slightly, bit her lip, and nodded. "Sister is right."

Just as Lu Jiajing sat on the bed, she felt a chill on her buttocks. She asked with a look of confusion, "Sister, what is this...?"

Pei Yuhan glanced at the Pill Furnace again and said with a flushed face, "Sister, I’m a woman too, I..."

Lu Jiajing looked at Pei Yuhan, whose face was as red as an apple, and gently stroked her hair. "I know you're not getting any younger. It's time to find a suitable Dao Companion!"

"But I'm used to being alone. I wouldn't know how to be with a male cultivator..."

Just as Pei Yuhan said those words, Lin Kuang charged out like a wild horse off its leash...

"Ah..."

"Hmm? Why did I hear something...?" Lu Jiajing suddenly felt she heard a faint sound coming from the direction of the Pill Furnace.

Hearing this, Pei Yuhan's pupils shook instantly. "There shouldn't be anything..."

"No! Sister Yuhan, let me investigate for you. What if someone with impure intentions snuck in?" Lu Jiajing's Spiritual Qi erupted instantly. Even Lin Kuang, who was on the other side of the Sound Transmission Jade Slip, could feel the intense pressure.

He even felt as if his body couldn't move.

"Not good!" Lin Kuang felt uneasy.

As Lu Jiajing drew closer and was about to reach the spot, Pei Yuhan pulled her back. "Sister Lu, it might just be a little mouse..."

"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Jiajing tilted her head and said with a hint of annoyance, "Sister, you must be more careful when you're alone!"

With that, she abruptly surged her Spiritual Qi and shattered the Pill Furnace. The Sound Transmission Jade Slip suddenly fell to the ground.

"What's this?" With a light hook of her finger, Lu Jiajing brought the Sound Transmission Jade Slip flying to her.

"Sister, I..." Pei Yuhan stammered, "I was planning to discuss things with my disciples... then I couldn't find the Sound Transmission Jade Slip. They must have called..."

"Can I... call them back?" Pei Yuhan looked at Lu Jiajing cautiously.

"I'll help you!" Lu Jiajing took a look and clicked on the most recent transmission record...

"Sister..." Pei Yuhan was a little afraid. After all, she didn't want Sister Lu to know she was involved with her disciple, and she herself...

"What's wrong, Master?" Lin Kuang's voice came through the Jade Slip.

"And you are?" Lu Jiajing stared at Lin Kuang's image in confusion and asked curiously.

"Eh? You're not my Master. You... who are you? What did you do to my Master?" Lin Kuang's face darkened instantly as he looked at her coldly. "Believe it or not, just wait until my Grandmaster comes out!"

Seeing Lin Kuang's expression, Lu Jiajing chuckled and handed the Jade Slip to Pei Yuhan. "You really do have a good disciple!"

"Disciple, is something wrong? Your Master is feeling a bit unwell..." Pei Yuhan looked at Lin Kuang with a hint of reproach. It was all his fault; if he hadn't done what he did, her desires wouldn't have been provoked.

Nor would she have forgotten her appointment with Sister Lu, leaving her heart feeling so stifled now...

As he spoke, Lin Kuang flashed a peace sign at her. "Master, I've already reached the Peak of the third realm!"

"Oh? I know, Xiao Tang told me... I explained some specific matters regarding the ingredients for the Spirit-Breaking Pill to her..."

"She should be able to help you refine the Medicinal Pill for your Breakthrough..." Pei Yuhan said, somewhat evasively.

She was currently parched with desire and didn't dare look directly at Lin Kuang's handsome face.

"Sister Yuhan, your disciple's talent is quite good. Let me see..." Lu Jiajing saw Pei Yuhan's predicament and took the Sound Transmission Jade Slip.

"Little friend, your Master and I have things to do. If there's anything else, we'll talk in a few days..." Lu Jiajing gave Lin Kuang a cold look and cut off the transmission, as if saying: "You little brat, you have no sense of timing at all."

...

"Sister, I..." Although Pei Yuhan knew Lu Jiajing didn't know about what happened with Lin Kuang at the hot spring, she was sure the other woman could deduce what she had been doing.

"Do you like this sort of thing?" Lu Jiajing gently tilted Pei Yuhan's head up and spoke calmly.

"Sister, I..." Pei Yuhan didn't say much. Having spent so much time with Lin Kuang, she had actually grown to like this feeling—this feeling of unattainable love!

But she couldn't let her "cold and aloof" persona slip yet. She couldn't let Sister Lu know that she actually enjoyed that peculiar sensation...

A sensation where love and violence were intertwined.

Seeing Pei Yuhan's hesitant behavior, Lu Jiajing sighed and said earnestly, "It's normal for a woman to have wandering thoughts when she's lonely..."

"I can see that you're truly lonely. In a few days, I'll introduce you to some male cultivators!" Lu Jiajing assumed Pei Yuhan's reluctance to talk to Lin Kuang was because she had been repressed for too long.

And that she was afraid of losing face in front of her disciple...

"No, Sister, let me just calm down!" Pei Yuhan had actually noticed the change in her own personality. Back in the Sect, it didn't matter what she did.

But she hadn't expected that once she left, her heart would become increasingly corrupted. Every time she thought of Lin Kuang, it would stir up endless desire, and even a hint of greed...

That feeling was the polar opposite of her original temperament. She often reflected on herself now: why had she become like this? Had she been a lewd person all along?

Was all that coldness just a facade she put on?

She couldn't be like this! But that version of herself that discarded the facade felt so comfortable, so wonderful!

Lu Jiajing noticed Fairy Pei's face becoming increasingly flushed and prepared to gather Spiritual Qi to cool her down.

Pei Yuhan grabbed Lu Jiajing's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister, can you give... me a little time? I... I really can't take it anymore..."

"I'm a woman... I have desires too! I need to vent... my desires..."

Lu Jiajing knew that if she forcibly tried to clear Pei Yuhan's mind now, the other woman wouldn't agree. She nodded and said, "Sister, I'll act as your Protector outside. Be quick; a guest will be arriving shortly!"

After saying that, Lu Jiajing flew out of Pei Yuhan's Immortal Cave.

Once Lu Jiajing had left, Pei Yuhan placed her hand on her thigh, her breath coming out in heavy, ragged gasps...
