20: Chapter 20 Senior Brother is Dirty

Inside the Listening to Rain Pavilion, red candles flickered, and warm fragrance floated in the air.

Liu Ruyan's fire-like, delicate body was almost completely covering Su Ye. Her eyes were alluring, and her fingertips traced circles on Su Ye's chest, as if looking for the best spot to take a bite.

That was the unique patience and greed of a hunter facing their most beloved prey.

"Senior Brother..."

Her red lips parted slightly, breathing like an orchid, and she was about to kiss Su Ye's slightly pale, thin lips.

However.

Just when their lips were less than a finger's width apart.

Liu Ruyan's movements suddenly froze.

Like a scene that had been pressed on the pause button, the rippling mist of water in her originally blurred and intoxicating peach-blossom eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by a heart-palpitating cold glint.

Her pert nose twitched slightly.

Then it twitched again.

"Something is wrong."

Liu Ruyan's voice suddenly turned cold, as if falling from the warm night of Chuxia into the depths of winter.

She slowly straightened her body, and the pretty face that had been filled with tenderness was now overcast with clouds.

Although Su Ye had his eyes closed, his heart skipped a beat.

【 Ding! 】

【 Warning! Killing Intent levels in the surrounding environment have spiked! 】

【 Warning! The emotional state of the second target character is extremely unstable, and the Yandere corruption value is breaking through the critical point! 】

Su Ye shouted inwardly that things were bad.

This smell...

Damn it!

Although that girl Jiang Nian would clean up the scene every time, and even used a Dust-Removal Technique, some scents that seeped deep into the bones could not be completely erased by Spiritual Qi.

That was the scent of the body, sweat, and the unique mark left behind during moments of passion.

For Liu Ruyan, who was also a woman, and especially for Liu Ruyan, who had poured all her obsession into this man.

This faint scent, mixed with the cloying sweetness of peach blossoms, was like a rat dropping falling into a bowl of white porridge—glaring, disgusting, and nauseating.

"Jiang... Nian!"

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and squeezed out these two words, each one seemingly ground out from between her teeth.

She suddenly flung away the silk quilt covering Su Ye.

Whoosh!

The poor Cloud Silk quilt, which had just been warmed up, was directly blasted into the corner of the room by violent Spiritual Qi, emitting a mournful sound.

Liu Ruyan lowered her head, like a lioness patrolling her territory, pressing her face against Su Ye's neck, collarbone, and even his underarms, sniffing carefully.

The more she sniffed, the uglier her expression became.

The more she sniffed, the brighter the purple flame of jealousy at the bottom of her eyes burned.

"It's here..."

"It's here too..."

"It's dirty, it's all dirty!"

Liu Ruyan stood up abruptly. The fire-red bodice that had been half-covering her, originally extremely seductive, now looked exceptionally tight across her heaving chest.

She looked at Su Ye lying on the bed, a trace of madness flashing in her eyes.

This feeling was like her most beloved doll having been taken away to play for a whole day by that seemingly obedient but actually dark kid next door, and left covered in that kid's drool.

Unbearable.

Absolutely unbearable!

"Senior Brother is mine."

"He can only have my scent."

Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, her originally alluring voice now becoming somewhat neurotically sharp.

She raised her hand and grabbed fiercely at the void.

"Water, come!"

It was not ordinary well water.

As the wealthiest Alchemist of Purple Bamboo Peak, what Liu Ruyan took out from her storage ring was a huge white jade tub, and a whole large jar of "Heavenly Mountain Snow Spirit Water" that emitted clear, cool Spiritual Qi.

This was a top-grade spirit water used to refine Profound Rank High Grade Medicinal Pills; a single drop was worth ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment.

However, without any hesitation, she poured it all into the white jade tub, which was large enough to hold two people, with a splash.

Immediately after.

She flicked her fingertips, and the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire swirled at the bottom of the tub. In the blink of an eye, the originally ice-cold spirit water began to steam with heat.

"Senior Brother, Junior Sister will help you wash clean now."

"I will wash away the scent of that little bitch on your body completely!"

Liu Ruyan turned around and scooped up the immobile Su Ye.

Su Ye only felt his body lighten, and then came the familiar sensation of weightlessness.

Splash—

He was placed into the warm spirit water.

Because he was a vegetative state person, Su Ye was powerless all over and could only let Liu Ruyan do as she pleased. His head rested on the edge of the white jade tub, and his body swayed slightly with the water waves.

"System, I feel like this development is a bit off..."

Su Ye complained silently in his heart.

Is this even a bath?

This is clearly treating him like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, undergoing the cleaning process before hair removal!

But Liu Ruyan clearly didn't care about that.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of arm as fair as a lotus root, and then took out something from her storage ring... Shark silk?

No.

That was a "Scarlet Flame Cloth" woven from a mixture of deep-sea fire coral powder and silkworm silk.

The surface was rough, but it had an extremely strong ability to remove dirt (and skin).

"This Scarlet Flame Cloth was specially refined by me to clean the inner walls of my Pill Furnace."

Liu Ruyan looked at Su Ye, the corners of her mouth curling into a somewhat creepy smile.

"Now it is most suitable for cleaning the filth off Senior Brother's body."

After speaking.

She did not hesitate at all; the Scarlet Flame Cloth in her hand was soaked in the scalding spirit water and scrubbed fiercely against Su Ye's neck.

That was the exact place where Jiang Nian had left the most hickey marks earlier.

Sssss—

Su Ye gasped inwardly.

【 Ding! 】

【 Host's Physical Body is suffering from intense external friction. 】

【 Passive defense mechanism triggered, Ancient Desolate Sacred Body experience + 10, + 10, + 10... 】

【 Skin toughness increased by 0.01%... 】

Pain!

But also happy!

Although Su Ye couldn't feel specific pain, the burning sensation of his skin being polished by sandpaper was clearly transmitted to his Sea of Consciousness through his nerve endings.

This Second Junior Sister really has a ruthless hand!

"One, two, three..."

Liu Ruyan counted as she scrubbed.

Her eyes were focused and fanatical, as if she were performing some kind of sacred ritual.

"This place was kissed by that dead girl."

"Scrub hard!"

"This place was touched by her."

"Rub hard!"

The originally fair neck, under the devastation of the Scarlet Flame Cloth, instantly turned bright red, even faintly showing blood streaks.

But under the powerful recovery ability of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, those tiny injuries healed rapidly in the next second.

This instead stirred up Liu Ruyan's competitive spirit.

"You can't be washed off, huh?"

"I don't believe it!"

The Golden Core within Liu Ruyan circulated, and a pure fire-type Spiritual Qi was injected into the Scarlet Flame Cloth in her hand.

Suddenly, the cloth felt like a red-hot iron, emitting astonishing heat.

"Senior Brother, bear with it."

"I won't feel at ease until I scrape a layer of skin off to remove her scent."

Thus.

A brutal (for Su Ye, it's grinding experience) cleaning began.

From neck to chest.

From back to abdomen.

Even the spaces between his toes.

Liu Ruyan was like a madwoman with severe mysophobia, not letting go of any inch of Su Ye's skin.

Water splashed everywhere.

It soaked the bodice on Liu Ruyan's body, the thin fabric clinging tightly to her, outlining breathtaking curves.

Water droplets dripped down her exquisite chin and mixed into the tub.

"Fiftieth time..."

Liu Ruyan panted, fine beads of sweat seeping out on her forehead.

Her hands were trembling slightly due to the long-term high-intensity effort.

But her eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Because she discovered that as she cleaned, the annoying peach blossom scent on Su Ye's body finally faded away.

Replacing it.

Was the crispness of the spirit water, the heat of the Scarlet Flame Cloth, and...

The rich violet fragrance on her own body.

"Still not enough."

Liu Ruyan threw away the Scarlet Flame Cloth and used her hands directly.

Her hands, which were extremely flexible from years of Alchemy, now turned into the most precise cleaning tools.

Her palms contained inner strength, pushing and massaging along Su Ye's Meridians.

At this moment.

She was no longer that high and mighty Golden Core Stage Alchemist.

She was just a paranoid woman who wanted to completely possess her lover.

"What does that Lin Feng count for?"

"And what does that Jiang Nian count for?"

Liu Ruyan muttered to herself while scrubbing, her voice full of long-suppressed grievances and possessiveness.

"Back then, Senior Brother, you scolded me for being trash because my Alchemy caused an explosion, all to protect Lin Feng."

"How much I hated you then is how much I want to crush you and melt you into my bones and blood now."

"Do you know?"

"Only like this..."

"Only when you are motionless and can only rely on me, are you truly mine."

Liu Ruyan's hand slid across Su Ye's firm lower abdomen, her eyes blurred.

"Without those little birds and flowers."

"Without those so-called Righteous Path grand ideals."

"Only the two of us."

"Clean and pure."

Su Ye lay in the tub, listening to these heartfelt words from Liu Ruyan, his heart a complex mix of emotions.

Is this the charm of the so-called "villain" Senior Brother?

Even though he was a jerk before.

How did these Junior Sisters all become so extreme after he was redeemed?

However...

Su Ye felt the Origin of his Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, which was running wildly due to the external stimulation, as well as the steadily rising [Meridian Repair Progress].

Must admit.

It really is quite good.

This service of being bathed in Heavenly Mountain Spirit Water by a rich woman (crossed out) by a Junior Sister, which also comes with a full-body deep cleansing massage.

It is simply an imperial-level enjoyment!

Except that it's a bit hard on the skin.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations to the Host for achieving the achievement: 〈Pure and Innocent〉 (Fake).】

【While in a passive state, you have been washed over 100 times, and the scent of the previous person of the opposite sex has been completely cleared.】

【Reward: Charisma +10, Physique +5, Special Resistance (Fire) +5%.】

【Current Status: Spotless.】

Finally, after the one hundred and eighth wash, Liu Ruyan stopped her movements.

At this moment, Su Ye's entire body was a strange shade of pink.

That was from being soaked in hot water, and also from being scrubbed.

He looked just like a freshly cooked shrimp, exuding an alluring color.

"Whew..." Liu Ruyan let out a long breath and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

She looked at the "brand new" Su Ye before her, her eyes shining with satisfaction.

"Now you're clean."

"Inside and out, you're all mine now."

She lowered her head and sniffed Su Ye's body again.

No scent of peach blossoms.

No scent of earth.

There was only that intoxicating masculine Yang Qi that belonged to Su Ye, mixed with the aura of the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire she had just infused.

This was Perfection.

"Splash."

Liu Ruyan pulled Su Ye directly out of the wooden tub.

She didn't use Spiritual Qi to dry him.

She picked up the wide purple robe that originally belonged to Su Ye from the side, but didn't put it on him; instead, she simply wrapped it around his still-dripping body.

Then, she threw him back onto that ten-thousand-year cold jade bed once again.

Only this time, Liu Ruyan was not as impatient as before.

If there were any outsiders present, their jaws would certainly drop.

Is this still the "Fiery Witch" who burned the male Disciple who harassed her with a single fire at the Sect tournament?

At this moment, she looked more like a devout believer, preparing to enjoy an offering bestowed by the gods.

Liu Ruyan took out an exquisite jade box from her storage ring.

She opened it.

Inside was a Medicinal Pill that was entirely crimson and radiated astonishing heat.

"Third-Rank High Grade — Dragon-Tiger Union Pill."

Liu Ruyan held the Medicinal Pill, a playful curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

"Originally, I intended to refine this as a poison for that Lin Feng, to make his body explode and die."

"But I slightly modified it..."

"It is perfect for nourishing your body, Senior Brother."

She leaned down, her red lips holding the Medicinal Pill.

Then, she kissed Su Ye's lips deeply.

Unlike Jiang Nian's green, cautious way of passing Qi.

Liu Ruyan's kiss was domineering, passionate, and full of aggression.

She pried open Su Ye's teeth, and her tongue nimbly pushed the Medicinal Pill into Su Ye's mouth.

Gulp.

The Medicinal Pill slid down his throat.

Instantly, it turned into a stream of scalding lava, rushing down Su Ye's esophagus straight to his Dantian.

Boom!

Su Ye felt as if a volcano had erupted inside his body.

His body, which had been somewhat exhausted from the cleansing, instantly tensed up under the stimulation of this violent medicinal power.

【Warning!】

【High-energy heat source detected entering the body!】

【Ancient Desolate Sacred Body is passively absorbing... Conversion rate 300%!】

【Warning! Excess Yang Qi! Excess Yang Qi!】

Su Ye felt like he was about to explode.

Is this the method of an Eighth-Rank Fire Spiritual Root Alchemist?

This is too intense!

"Senior Brother, your body has become hot."

Liu Ruyan felt the man's body temperature soaring beneath her and laughed with satisfaction.

She was like a beautiful snake, tightly coiled around Su Ye.

Skin touching skin.

A collision of ice and fire.

Although Su Ye was in a vegetative state, under such extreme stimulation, his body's instinctive reactions could not be suppressed at all.

Liu Ruyan felt the obvious change, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

She reached out and gently stroked Su Ye's face, which looked exceptionally resolute due to the blood rush.

"See."

"I knew it."

"Senior Brother, your body is much more honest than your mouth."

"That little girl only knows the clumsy way of infusing you with Spiritual Qi."

"Yet she doesn't know that for a man..."

"This kind of 'dredging' is the most effective."

The second stage of the Yin-Yang Joyful Union Record — Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity, Mind-Cultivation Technique activated.

A pink Spiritual Qi field instantly enveloped the entire large bed in the Listening to Rain Pavilion.

The night deepened.

On the back mountain of Purple Bamboo Peak, Jiang Nian, who had been in seclusion attempting to Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, suddenly opened her eyes, feeling uneasy.

"Strange..."

"Why do I feel like someone is stealing my home?"

She frowned and glanced at the cyan Restriction she had set up for her seclusion.

"It should be fine."

"There is my Restriction at Senior Brother's place, and the Peak Master's barrier."

"Unless that crazy woman, Second Senior Sister, forces her way in..."

"No, although Second Senior Sister has a fiery temper, she is the most arrogant; how could she do such sneaky things."

Jiang Nian shook her head, comforted herself, and closed her eyes again.

The naive girl had no idea.

The "arrogant" Second Senior Sister she spoke of was, at this moment, like a tireless knight, galloping across the battlefield on her most beloved Senior Brother.

... Inside the Listening to Rain Pavilion.

Su Ye felt like a small boat in a storm.

He also felt like he was being repeatedly forged in Taishang Laojun's Eight-Trigrams Furnace.

Liu Ruyan was indeed a Golden Core Stage expert, and one who specialized in the fire element.

Her stamina, her endurance, and her variety.

It simply opened Su Ye's eyes.

【Ding!】

【Dual Cultivation Technique detected.】

【Meridian blockage is rapidly decreasing...】

【Obtained pure Fire-element True Essence feedback!】

【Cultivation Breakthrough warning!】

【Current Realm: Foundation Establishment Stage Fourth Heaven (Perfection)... Breaking through!】

In pain and pleasure, Su Ye could only silently endure all of this with tears in his eyes.

He didn't want to win by lying down.

Really.

He originally wanted to Cultivate through his own efforts.

But...

This soft rice, it really is delicious!

"Mmm..."

Liu Ruyan let out a satisfied sigh, her whole body slumping onto Su Ye like soft mud.

Her long hair spread out, covering most of Su Ye's face.

Those peach-blossom eyes, which usually held a bit of sharpness, were now filled with tenderness and affection.

She stretched out her finger and gently traced circles on Su Ye's chest.

"Senior Brother."

"Tonight, you are completely mine."

"When you wake up tomorrow morning..."

"You will only have my scent on you."

"That will make that little girl furious."

Liu Ruyan laughed triumphantly like a child.

Just then, outside the Listening to Rain Pavilion, a very slight sound of breaking air suddenly came.

Although it was very faint, in the silent night, it was still clearly audible to Liu Ruyan, who was in the Golden Core Stage.

Someone is here?

Liu Ruyan's eyes sharpened, and she instantly sobered up from that amorous state.

She did not jump up in panic to put on her clothes.

Instead, she very calmly waved her hand, pulled the quilt that she had thrown away earlier, and covered them both.

Only their two heads were exposed.

"It's so late, who would come?"

Liu Ruyan narrowed her eyes, and her Divine Sense spread outward like a tide.

The next second, a playful cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"Heh."

"So it's the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Wu Changfeng?"

"What is this old thing doing, running to Senior Brother's place in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

A trace of Killing Intent flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

This old man usually walked close to Lin Feng and often made things difficult for Senior Brother.

Now that Senior Brother has fallen, what does he want to do?

"Senior Brother, don't be afraid."

Liu Ruyan held Su Ye's hand tightly under the quilt.

"With Junior Sister here."

"No one can touch a hair on your head."

"Whether it's that little girl or this bunch of old farts."

"Tonight."

"Whoever dares to disturb our good time..."

"I will let him know how painful it is to have the Purple Luo Heavenly Fire burn on one's body!"

Under the moonlight, purple fire danced in Liu Ruyan's eyes; it was a kind of madness that protected her food to the extreme.
