The night was long, and the chirping of insects outside made it particularly pleasant.
Without the flowers and plants, I fell asleep quite quickly.
I don't know how long I had been asleep, but in a daze, I felt something cold moving back and forth on my neck.
I opened my eyes to see a delicate, aloof face, perfectly sculpted with golden proportions. His cold eyes, like obsidian, emitted a chilling and piercing light that brought an overwhelming sense of pressure.
It was Mu Xuanche. How could he be here? I felt a surge of excitement.
I couldn't believe my eyes. When I looked again, the face transformed from Mu Xuanche's to that of the Island Master.
I must be dreaming; there was no doubt about it.
I closed my eyes, trying to reject this dream.
But he wouldn't allow it. My head felt heavy, and even in the dream, I couldn't control myself.
He lunged at me, his cold lips pressing against mine.
I couldn't betray Mu Xuanche. Not even in a dream. To prevent him from succeeding, I clenched my jaw tightly. But to my surprise, the Island Master was so despicable that he grabbed my waist.
My waist was my most sensitive spot; the moment he squeezed it, I wanted to laugh. As soon as I opened my mouth, the Island Master seized the opportunity to invade deeply, teasing my teeth and sucking on my tongue.
His taste was somewhat reminiscent of Mu Xuanche—domineering yet sensual. Cold yet tender.
Feeling his hands roaming over me made my heart race even faster.
I wanted to resist, but my entire body felt completely immobilized. I kept telling myself this was just a dream; it was absolutely just a dream.
The cold hands continued to stretch downward, igniting a spark wherever they touched.
I felt an uncomfortable sensation in my lower abdomen.
It was as if a warm current was churning outward, making it impossible for me to keep still.
Damn it, I was actually feeling something for another person in my dream. I felt a bit shameless; how could I let this happen?
This was a betrayal of the spirit. If Mu Xuanche found out, he would surely kill Island Master first and then come for me.
His massive body pressed down on me like a mountain, invading my very being.
A wave of excruciating pain radiated from my lower half. It hurt so much that I instantly lost consciousness.
In the dream, I had lost count of how many times it had happened. All I knew was that my body felt like a boat tossed in the sea, rolling and trembling with every wave.
I woke up at noon.
The moment I regained consciousness, my first instinct was to check my entire body.
Thank goodness, thank goodness.
I silently reassured myself that my clothes were still intact and there were no strange marks on my skin.
Aside from my legs feeling particularly sore and weak, making it hard to get out of bed, everything else seemed fine.
It appeared that last night was just a dream; it was all that man’s fault. Why did he have to bring the flowerpot inside?
If he hadn’t brought it in, I would have slept like a dead pig and wouldn’t have had such strange dreams.
Fortunately, the Island Master doesn't appear often; otherwise, I would be mortified.
Sitting on the boat, the man started the engine, and the vessel sped away quickly.
I had expected a wooden boat, considering how desolate this island looked, but to my surprise, I was on a speedboat.
The vast sea stretched endlessly, and it took a full hour for the man to bring me to the nearest shore.
Before leaving, he handed me a package from the Island Master.
I waved goodbye to him with tears in my eyes, promising that I would come back to see him again.
Once he left, I found myself walking alone, completely unaware of where I was.
With no other option, I had to ask someone nearby for directions. It turned out that this place was the temporary market of B City.
It was several hundred kilometers away from B City. Clearly, trying to walk back was not going to work.
Curious about what Qilin Island Master had sent me, I opened the package to take a look.
Inside was the black box that Chuchen had brought, which had caught Qilin Island Master's attention enough to trade it for Shangguan. This indicated how precious this item was.
He actually just gave it to me like that. This Island Master is truly enigmatic.
As I rummaged through the package further, I found several large red bills inside.
The Island Master is indeed different; he thinks ahead of others. How thoughtful of him to include cash as well.
Now that I have money, things will be easier. I can buy a ticket to return to B City.
Upon returning to City B, I rushed straight to the Chen Family. I wanted to see Shangguan Mingyue and find out how she would react upon seeing me.
Although there was a possibility of being captured again by the Cult of Spirits, I was willing to take the risk.
The moment I stepped through the gates of the Chen Family, Shangguan Mingyue looked shocked to see me, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
The bowl she had been holding slipped from her hands and shattered on the ground.
I rushed over and embraced her, crying out, "Mingyue, it's so good to see you! You have no idea how those bastards from the Cult of Spirits captured me. Thankfully, I managed to come back. Seeing you truly makes me so happy."
My emotions were intense, yet inside, I felt calm.
I could feel Shangguan Mingyue trembling in my arms.
Her head resting on my shoulder was already wet with tears, and her whole body shook uncontrollably.
I released her and asked, "Mingyue, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"
She looked at me with a strange expression, one that seemed filled with an unspoken sense of guilt.
"Yan Xi, it’s so good that you’re back. I couldn’t sleep at all while you were gone; I was really worried about you."
"Alright, no more crying, Mingyue. I'm back now, right? Let me rest for a bit. Master and the others are also at the Chen Family, right?"
"Yes," she replied.
I caught a glimpse of that flicker of guilt in Shangguan Mingyue's eyes. I believed she wouldn't act against me for now.
As for the people from the Cult of Spirits, since Master was here, they wouldn't be able to come after me.
After moving into the room arranged by the Chen Family, I needed to rest. I was utterly exhausted.
I had intended to sleep, but found myself wide awake.
I got up to check the doors and windows, ensuring everything was securely closed. Cautiously, I took out the black box that the Island Master had given me.
Upon opening it, I discovered a silver bracelet with a small bell attached. It was such a feminine item; no wonder the Island Master had discarded it.
Inside the box was also a piece of paper, on which some bold text was written.
"Summoning Bracelet: Recite the incantation and shake three times. It can summon the most powerful spirit within a hundred miles for your use."
Wow, this bracelet is incredible.
It's practically a treasure. The Island Master actually gave it to me so easily; that’s quite generous of him.
Now I owe him one, and I’ll have to repay this debt when the opportunity arises.
The Cult of Spirits really went all out this time to rescue Shangguan; gifting such a significant item is no small matter.
I wonder if there’s a limit to how many times I can use this Summoning Bracelet. If there is, I should be cautious with it.
Being able to summon spirits is one of Taoism's strongest abilities.
Even Shangguan Mingyue could only burn talismans to ask a spirit questions. This bracelet allows me to simply shake it and have a spirit come to serve me—how amazing!
"Knock! Knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door, and I quickly slipped the bracelet onto my wrist and covered it with my sleeve.
"Yan Xi, are you asleep?"
It was Shangguan Mingyue's voice.
After a moment of consideration, I decided to respond to her.
"I just fell asleep. What's up?"
"Master wants us to come down. You should get up."
Hearing that it was Master looking for me, I quickly got out of bed without thinking much.
When I arrived in the hall, Master and my senior brother were already there.
Upon seeing me, Master cast a concerned glance in my direction.
"Gu Si, are you hurt? I just received news about you. You've suffered."
It seemed that Shangguan Mingyue had kept my disappearance under wraps; otherwise, Master wouldn't have found out so late.
I smiled at Master and said, "I'm fine. Fortunately, a kind person saved me."
"Master, did you call me down just to check on me?"
It was only after listening to Master's explanation that I learned the evil spirit from the Chen Family was still not dealt with.
It continued to harass President Chen. After Master arrived, he was eager to find me and didn't have time to help President Chen deal with the Evil Spirit, which caused the delay.
Seeing the smile on Master's face, I knew things weren't good. Without waiting for him to mention it, I stood up automatically.
"Master, you want me to come and handle the matter concerning President Chen's family, right?"
The Master instantly put away his serious expression, revealing his greedy demeanor. "Hehe, Gu Si, you truly understand me. You guessed correctly; you need to handle this well, understand?"
Once a teacher, always a father. Since he had given the order, what else could I do?
I obediently agreed, and later I asked Shangguan Mingyue to find out more.
It turned out that President Chen had offered a million for the Master’s assistance. No wonder the Master was so eager; it seemed he was blinded by money.
