36: Chapter 36 Lin Aotian's Letter: Playing Hard to Get

The moment that Cross-realm Transmission Jade Slip lit up, Leng Hanshuang's mind went blank with a sudden buzz.

All her desire and confusion were instantly replaced by terror and panic.

Why would he contact me at a time like this?

I... if he hears what I'm like right now, with another man...

"Stop! Stop it!" Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Leng Hanshuang suddenly pushed Su Yun away, her voice cracking.

She frantically pulled the glowing jade slip from her robe, her heart in a mess as she stared at the familiar name on it.

On one side was the man she once loved deeply and viewed as her faith.

On the other side was the man who had just taken her body and soul, making her develop a taste for such pleasures.

These two vastly different emotions tore at her heart, making her feel as if she were suffocating.

"Oh? Lin Aotian?" Su Yun looked at the jade slip.

It's here! It's here!

The most exciting part is finally here!

"You... what are you doing?! Let go of me!"

Ashamed and anxious, Leng Hanshuang struggled desperately, but her strength was negligible before Su Yun.

"Let go of you?"

Su Yun blew a wicked breath into her ear, his voice husky and magnetic.

"Sect Master, this is our 'guidance' time. How can we give up halfway?"

"You bastard!"

Leng Hanshuang was so angry her eyes turned red.

She could feel her traitorous body softening again under this bastard's teasing.

Just then, Lin Aotian's slightly magnetic yet haughty voice finally came from the jade slip.

"Frost? Are you there? Why did it take so long to answer?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Leng Hanshuang's body suddenly stiffened.

She instinctively wanted to respond, but Su Yun was relentless.

"Mmm..." A wonderful, irrepressible sound escaped her throat.

"Hmm? What was that sound?"

On the other end of the jade slip, Lin Aotian clearly heard it, his tone carrying a hint of suspicion.

"Frost, what are you doing? You sound... strange."

"I... I'm fine!"

Leng Hanshuang hurriedly adjusted her breathing, forcing her voice to sound more normal, but the slight tremor still betrayed her inner panic.

"I... I am currently practicing a Cultivation Technique and have reached a critical moment, so... so my Qi is a bit unstable."

While she lied, she frantically pleaded with Su Yun with her eyes.

In that gaze, there was shame, indignation, and pleading, as well as a hint of... allure that she herself hadn't noticed.

Please, stop it, I'll be exposed in a moment!

However, seeing her like this, Su Yun's sense of mischief was thoroughly ignited.

Not only did he not stop, but he became even more excessive.

"Cultivation Technique?"

Lin Aotian's voice became somewhat serious.

"What kind of Cultivation Technique would make you make such a sound? Frost, did something happen? Is someone forcing you?"

Although he was far away in the Upper Realm, his intuition as a man still made him sense something was wrong.

"No! Don't let your imagination run wild!" Leng Hanshuang felt a surge of anger at his questioning tone.

I've been here suffering and nearly lost my life because of the mess you left behind!

And you? The first thing you do is interrogate me?

What right do you have to question me?!

A nameless sense of grievance and resentment welled up from her heart, making her attitude toward Lin Aotian turn several degrees colder.

"I said I'm fine, I'm just practicing."

Just then, a delicate and somewhat seductive female voice suddenly drifted faintly from the other end of the jade slip.

"Junior Brother Aotian, who are you talking to? Come here quickly. The 'Acacia Pill' Revered Master refined is about to take effect. Senior Sister... can't handle it alone..."

That voice was soft enough to melt bones, filled with infinite room for imagination.

The entire Secret Room instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Leng Hanshuang's struggling stopped.

The color drained from her face, replaced instantly by a bone-chilling coldness.

In those ice-blue Phoenix eyes, the last trace of affection for Lin Aotian shattered and vanished at that moment.

Acacia Pill?

Senior Sister?

Haha... Hahahaha...

Leng Hanshuang laughed—a laugh filled with desolation and irony.

So this was his so-called "having no choice."

So this was his so-called "being forced by circumstances."

She was here, keeping herself pure for him and suffering through agony.

While he was already in the Upper Realm, enjoying romantic moments with another woman, even using an Acacia Pill.

She was nothing more than a giant joke.

"Lin Aotian," Leng Hanshuang's voice was terrifyingly calm, devoid of any emotion. "You seem quite busy over there."

"No... that's not it! Frost, let me explain!"

Lin Aotian, on the other end of the jade slip, clearly panicked and tried to explain.

"That was my Senior Sister joking with me! We... we were just discussing the Alchemy Dao! Yes! Discussing the Alchemy Dao!"

"Discussing the Alchemy Dao?" Leng Hanshuang sneered. "You need an Acacia Pill to discuss it? Lin Aotian, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"I..."

"Enough." Leng Hanshuang interrupted him directly, her voice so cold it felt like ice shards were falling.

"I'm tired. I need to Cultivate."

"Don't contact me again."

After saying that, she didn't give Lin Aotian any further chance to explain and directly used her spiritual power to cut off the transmission.

The jade slip she once cherished as a treasure was casually tossed aside as if it were some piece of filthy trash.

Having done all this, she slowly turned her head and looked at Su Yun.

In those ice-blue eyes, there was no longer any struggle or hesitation, only a kind of... desperate, all-or-nothing madness.

"Continue." She proactively reached out her arms, wrapping them around Su Yun's neck, and brought her red lips to his ear, her breath fragrant like orchids.

"I was wrong just now."

"Now, I want you to... compensate me twofold."
