Come again tonight

"Revered Master, you wouldn't want others to find out about you losing all your cultivation, would you?"

These words were like a curse, echoing within the empty and silent Cold Jade Palace.

Yun Yuzhen's delicate body, which had been trembling with rage, instantly stiffened as if struck by an invisible bolt of lightning.

Within her beautiful eyes filled with killing intent, her pupils constricted violently, reflecting Su Ye's face—wearing a half-smile and brimming with aggression.

Fear.

A never-before-felt, bone-deep fear surged from the soles of her feet straight to the crown of her head.

She was the high and mighty Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak, a peerless Great Power of Tribulation Crossing Realm Tenth Heaven, and the goddess whom countless Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land looked up to.

Her life had been cold and aloof; she had never bowed her head to anyone.

But now, before this eldest Disciple who was usually submissive and obsequious, she actually felt an emotion called "despair."

"Su Ye... you dare to threaten me?"

Yun Yuzhen bit her pale lip, her voice hoarse as she tried to overwhelm him with her remaining dignity. "Do you know what the crime of betraying one's Revered Master and ancestors is in the Taichu Holy Land?"

"If Elder Zhao, the 'Blood-Handed Human Butcher' of the Hall of Punishment, finds out, your Soul will be extracted and refined, and you will never be reincarnated!"

At the mention of the Hall of Punishment, a glimmer of hope flashed in Yun Yuzhen's eyes.

That was the most terrifying place in the Taichu Holy Land, the nightmare of every Disciple.

However...

Hearing this, the smile on Su Ye's face grew even wider—a playful smirk that saw through everything.

"The Hall of Punishment?"

Su Ye chuckled softly. His fingers slid slowly down Yun Yuzhen's smooth chin, across her slender neck, and finally came to rest on the lapel at the edge of her delicate collarbone.

"Revered Master, do you think I'm that stupid?"

"Although the Formation of the entire Cold Jade Palace is currently weak, it can still isolate Divine Sense."

"As long as I don't go out and talk, who will know what happened here?"

Saying this, Su Ye leaned in closer, his nose almost touching Yun Yuzhen's.

"On the contrary, Revered Master..."

"If that 'Old Devil of Ultimate Bliss' from the Demonic Path found out that you are currently in a weakened state..."

"Or if the Demon Emperor of the 'Heaven-Swallowing Python' clan, who has always coveted your Taiyin Sacred Body's Origin, were to know..."

With every name uttered, Yun Yuzhen's face grew a shade paler.

The Old Devil of Ultimate Bliss was a titan of the Evil Path who had infiltrated the area. Though suppressed by the Holy Land, he would surely risk everything if he knew her current condition.

The Heaven-Swallowing Python Demon Emperor was an existence at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm who had always wanted to capture her to use as a Cauldron.

The people Su Ye mentioned were either ants she could usually crush at will or rivals of equal strength.

But today...

Every one of them could become her nightmare!

"You... what exactly do you want?"

Yun Yuzhen finally broke down, tears of humiliation welling up in her eyes.

She never expected that the Disciple she had raised for over a decade was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"What do I want?"

Su Ye's gaze suddenly became deep. In that moment, he was no longer the gentle and elegant Senior Brother, but a complete Devil Head.

"Since Revered Master has been afflicted by Cold Poison..."

"Naturally, I must be a good Disciple who respects his Revered Master and follows the Dao."

"The Taiyin Cold Poison in Revered Master's body is a Supreme Yin substance; only Supreme Yang Qi can neutralize it."

Before his voice had even faded...

Su Ye no longer hesitated and exerted force with his large hand.

"Rip!"

The crisp sound of tearing fabric was exceptionally piercing in the silent hall.

The white palace dress, symbolizing the dignity of the Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak, tore like fragile paper in Su Ye's hands.

Large areas of skin, white as mutton-fat jade, were instantly exposed to the air.

"Ah!!"

Yun Yuzhen let out a terrified scream, instinctively trying to cover her chest with her hands and curl up her body.

But without her cultivation, her strength before Su Ye was pathetically weak.

Su Ye easily pinned her fair wrists with one hand, pressing them firmly against the cold jade pillow above her head.

"Su Ye! Rebellious Disciple! I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!!"

Yun Yuzhen's beautiful eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Su Ye. If looks could kill, Su Ye would already be riddled with holes.

"Kill me?"

"That will have to wait until Revered Master survives this Cold Poison backlash."

Looking at the flawless body beneath him—slightly flushed from fear and cold—the tyranny and desire for conquest in Su Ye's heart erupted completely.

In the original novel, you favored that Ye Fan, even sacrificing the resources of the entire Purple Bamboo Peak for him.

While the original Host, that simp, gave his life for you, only to be called "dull" in the end.

In that case...

Let this so-called bond between Revered Master and Disciple be completely shattered!

"Revered Master, bear with it."

"The treatment... begins."

Su Ye leaned down and kissed her fiercely under that gaze filled with despair and hatred... One hour... two hours... three hours later.

The commotion inside the Cold Jade Palace finally subsided.

A thick, lingering scent filled the air—the residue of Grand Yin Qi and Supreme Yang Qi blending together, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The massive ten-thousand-year-old cold jade bed was a mess.

The once-immaculate white palace dress had long since turned into fragments scattered on the floor.

Yun Yuzhen was like a broken porcelain doll, slumped weakly on the bed.

She stared blankly at the ceiling of the hall, her once cold and noble face now covered with dried tear stains.

Her waterfall-like black hair was disheveled, covering most of her body but failing to hide the shocking red marks.

On the snow-white bedsheet, a bright and poignant stain of virgin blood, like a red plum blossom in winter, stung the eyes.

That was the primal yin she had guarded for three hundred years.

It was the most precious Origin of her Taiyin Sacred Body.

Just now, it was completely stolen away.

And the one who took it all wasn't her destined Dao Companion or some peerless hero.

It was her eldest Disciple, Su Ye, whom she had always regarded as "honest and dull"!

Right then.

Deep in Su Ye's mind, that cold mechanical voice rang out again, carrying a hint of pleasure.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host!】

【Successfully took the first blood of one of the female leads of destiny, the Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak, Yun Yuzhen!】

【Taiyin Sacred Body primal yin has been plundered!】

【Detected that the Host's behavior is extremely consistent with a great villain's style, significantly altering the original plot's direction!】

【Congratulations to the Host for completing the novice mission: Help Revered Master "Heal"!】

【Rewards are being distributed...】

Su Ye sat cross-legged to the side. His cultivation at the First Heaven of the Golden Core Realm, which had been somewhat unstable, now became incredibly solid.

Although his Realm hadn't directly broken through, he could clearly feel that his Physique had undergone a world-shaking change.

The Taiyin primal yin entered his body—Yin and Yang were in harmony!

His Spiritual Root seemed to be cheering, greedily absorbing this extremely pure energy.

"System, claim rewards."

Su Ye thought to himself, his tone carrying a hint of hard-to-conceal excitement.

【Ding! Rewards have been issued to the System space!】

【Obtained: Marrow Cleansing Pill * 10 (Top Grade)!】

【Obtained: Heaven Rank Top Grade Cultivation Technique "Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art" (Incomplete)!】

【Obtained: 1,000 villain points!】

【Congratulations to the Host for triggering a critical hit reward! Obtained special item: Supreme Bone (Unawakened)!】

Su Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them.

Supreme Bone?!

That was a legendary Supreme divine object that only a natural-born Supreme could possess!

In the original setting, this was an Opportunity belonging to another child of Luck. Those with a Supreme Bone were natural darlings of the Great Dao, possessing Heaven-Defying comprehension and unparalleled combat power, along with a companion Supreme Treasure Technique—enough to suppress an entire era!

"It actually rewarded the Supreme Bone directly?"

With a thought, Su Ye looked into the System space.

Within the void of the space, a crystal-clear bone emitting a faint golden glow floated quietly.

The bone was densely carved with profound and complex Great Dao runes. With just a glance of his Divine Sense, Su Ye felt a pressure coming from the depths of his Soul.

It was as if an ancient emperor was slumbering within that bone!

The harvest from this "healing" session was far more than just the System rewards.

Having plundered Yun Yuzhen's Taiyin primal yin, his Sixth-Grade Spiritual Root Aptitude was subtly improving, and even his Divine Soul had strengthened.

Su Ye took a deep breath and stood up.

He took out a brand-new set of purple robes from his storage ring and put them on unhurriedly.

Every movement was elegant and composed, as if the crazed beast from moments ago wasn't him.

After dressing...

Su Ye turned around and looked down at the beautiful woman on the bed, who seemed as if she had already died.

"Revered Master."

Su Ye's voice was still gentle, but to Yun Yuzhen's ears, it was more terrifying than a demon's whisper.

Yun Yuzhen didn't move.

She didn't even turn her eyes.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

If she hadn't lacked even the strength to sever her own Meridians, she would have chosen to end her life long ago to wash away this shame.

"Don't play dead."

Su Ye didn't care about her reaction and simply said calmly, "Although the 'treatment' just now was very effective and suppressed the outbreak of the Taiyin Cold Poison..."

"But just as the System... just as the ancient texts record, the backlash of the Taiyin Sacred Body cannot be eradicated in a single session."

"For the next half month, you will need this 'treatment' every day to ensure your life is out of danger."

Hearing this...

Yun Yuzhen's delicate body finally reacted, trembling violently.

She turned her head with difficulty, her hollow eyes refocusing as she glared at Su Ye, her voice as hoarse as a broken bellows:

"Get out..."

"Su Ye... just kill me..."

"This kind of humiliation... I'd rather die..."

"Die?"

Su Ye acted as if he had heard a joke, a cruel arc curling at the corners of his mouth.

He leaned down and gently stroked Yun Yuzhen's paper-white cheek—his movements were soft, yet carried an unquestionable dominance.

"Revered Master, you can die if you wish."

"But don't forget, you still have three precious Disciples; they are all my Junior Sisters."

At the mention of her three Disciples, Yun Yuzhen's pupils constricted suddenly.

They were her most beloved personal Disciples, treated as her own children.

A cold light flashed in Su Ye's eyes. "If you die, Purple Bamboo Peak will lose the protection of a Great Power of Tribulation Crossing Realm."

"Do you think my three Junior Sisters can protect Purple Bamboo Peak on their own?"

"Or, if the outside world finds out that the dignified Peak Master of Purple Bamboo Peak committed suicide over such a 'scandal'..."

"The entire Taichu Holy Land, and even Lin Qianxue, will be shamed because of you, unable to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives!"

"You—!!"

Overcome by rage, Yun Yuzhen spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof" sound.

Her already extremely weak aura became even more withered.

Shameless!

Despicable!

Filthy!

She never imagined that this Disciple, who used to be so submissive before her, could come up with such a vicious reason to threaten her!

He was using the future of the entire Purple Bamboo Peak and her youngest Disciple to force her to live on!

Forcing her... to continue acting as his plaything!

"It seems Revered Master has come to her senses."

Seeing the will to die gradually fade from Yun Yuzhen's eyes, replaced by endless resentment and humiliation, Su Ye nodded in satisfaction.

As long as she doesn't want to die, it's fine.

As long as she's alive, this proud Dao Heart will eventually be completely shattered by him and reshaped into a form that belongs only to him.

Su Ye straightened up and didn't spare Yun Yuzhen another glance.

He turned and walked toward the hall entrance.

When he reached the door, Su Ye's footsteps paused slightly.

He took out several Formation Flags from his robe and waved them casually.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several streaks of light flew out, landing precisely in various corners of the Cold Jade Palace.

Buzz—!

A pale golden barrier instantly rose, enveloping the entire sleeping quarters.

This wasn't some profound defensive Formation, but an isolation Formation.

Those inside couldn't leave, those outside couldn't enter, and not even a shred of sound or aura could escape.

These were the "Dragon Trapping Formation" flags he had specifically exchanged from the Sect's treasury using the contribution points he had accumulated on his way here.

While it couldn't stop high-level Cultivators, it was more than enough to trap the currently powerless Yun Yuzhen.

"You... what are you trying to do?!"

Looking at the rising barrier, Yun Yuzhen felt another ominous premonition surge in her heart.

Su Ye stood with his back to her and pushed open the large doors.

The sunlight from outside spilled in, casting his long shadow over Yun Yuzhen like a lingering haze.

He turned his head, revealing half of his handsome yet wicked face. His tone was flat, but it made Yun Yuzhen feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar:

"Since Revered Master is unwell, stay in the sleeping quarters and rest well for these few days. I will handle all the affairs of Purple Bamboo Peak on your behalf."

"This Dragon Trapping Formation is to prevent Revered Master from wandering off, and also to prevent anyone from disturbing Revered Master's quiet cultivation."

With that...

Su Ye stepped across the threshold. As the doors slowly closed, his voice drifted in faintly:

"Rest well, Revered Master, and keep up your strength."

"Tonight, I will come again to 'heal' Revered Master."
