Chapter 11: CH 11

Han Shengyao had seen many of Du Shuang's tricks when she flirted with female musicians, to which she would sometimes walk in on. She only felt that it was unimaginable for two women to do this kind of thing and that it was a little obscene.

She had no problem with Du Shuang's sexuality. To begin with, it's her personal freedom. But, this series of foreplay techniques were used on the disciple she was dedicated to protecting......2

Han Shengyao was stimulated by Du Shuang's face full of spring(1). She didn't dare to look at Lin Qianshuang at all. At the moment, the nerves in her brain were completely tense, as if her hard work had been readily wasted. The fire in her heart nearly destroyed all sense of her reason.

Without a single word, Han Shengyao instantly appeared in front of Du Shuang and gave her a heavy slap.2

Unprepared, Du Shuang's whole body was flung towards the desk. There was a sound of wood breaking, and the piles of books on the desk scattered onto the ground.

With an indifferent smile, she wiped the blood off the corners of her lips as she stood up, and said,

"Sage, what's wrong with you? Don't you have a good temper? Isn't she just your favourite......"

Before she could utter the word "pet", Du Shuang was heavily slapped again.

She spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the smile on her face became a little hard to control. Han Shengyao's slap was real just now. She was really angry. If it wasn't for the protection of her sword energy, she would've been killed by her.

"Du Shuang, I asked you to teach my disciple, not take her to bed!"

Han Shengyao's face was awfully gloomy as she walked up to Du Shuang. She squeezed out a cold voice from between her gritted teeth, "She's my only official disciple!"

Du Shuang covered her swollen face and froze for a moment. She looked at the obviously furious Han Shengyao, whose demonic energy surged in the air.

She panicked.

It's over, it's over! She's in big trouble!5

This time, she did not expect Han Shengyao to actually accept a disciple on a whim. She clearly remembered the previous disciple she had brought here before. No matter how much she bullied them, Han Shengyao had turned a blind eye.

What should she do now? Yixiang Establishment is her only refuge. If she were to leave, she wouldn't know where to go.

Han Shengyao felt upset when she looked at Du Shuang's rosy complexion. What she had done was still not enough to relieve her anger, the fire in her heart continued to burn. She intended to give her a few more slaps, but her thoughts diverted when she felt her sleeve being tugged.

"Master, I'm fine. Sword Venerable Du Shuang just misunderstood. I...... I still have to practice controlling my energy."3

A faint and timid voice rang out, seeming to be stunned by the fight that had just occurred in front of her. The sentence said by the voice had reached her ears, pausing a little as it trembled.

Han Shengyao turned her head to her disciple, who was half-seated on the ground. Her head tilted as she looked at her with a modest face and crystal clear azure blue eyes. She appeared to have no understanding of what had happened to her just now.2

Those blue eyes seemed to have a magical effect of soothing her.

For a moment, Han Shengyao gradually calmed down, and her rationality slowly recovered. The terrifying demonic energy surrounding her had withdrawn.

Lin Qianshuang blinked her big, innocent-looking eyes as she looked at Han Shengyao. Seeing that her mood had stabilized, she felt relieved and shifted her line of sight to Du Shuang, who was on the ground.

Fortunately, Han Shengyao didn't cripple her. Although the woman was lustful, she was a good teacher who taught her the basics. The method of listening to the rhythm of the zither was a good way of teaching someone to master their energy. When she taught her by hand, she also felt the boundaries of the Qi Refining stage(2), despite being interrupted later on.

Du Shuang shakily stood up. She admits that it was her fault. She had agreed to teach Han Shengyao's disciple but mistakenly regarded the other as a pet.

She looked at the two of them with an uncomfortable smile on her face, and said, "This time, it is my fault. Because of my blindness, I have offended your disciple. Du Shuang is willing to accept any punishment you have for me, Sage."

Lin Qianshuang looked at Han Shengyao with a surprised look, wondering in her heart. Du Shuang was a figure at the level of a Sword Venerable, yet she acted so submissively in front of her. Was there any sort of connection between the two of them?2

Then she thought, if Han Shengyao killed Du Shuang, how else would she build a foundation?

Before Han Shengyao could speak, Lin Qianshuang said with a sincere expression, "Master. In fact, Sword Venerable Du Shuang...... has taught me a lot of things. If you hurt her, I won't be able to find anyone else to teach me for a while."

Du Shuang looked at her with astonishment, and an indescribable expression appeared on her face. The person who was ridiculed by her, instead of giving her retribution, chose to return good for evil(3) by speaking up for her. She didn't know if this person was really pure or faking her naivety.

Han Shengyao shielded Lin Qianshuang behind her. She glanced at Du Shuang and said, "For the sake of my disciple, I'll spare you once. I'll be watching just in case you cause any more trouble, so give me a good lesson."

Under Du Shuang's command, several maids walked in to clean up the messy floor and the wreckage of smashed tables and chairs in the study. After a while, they left.

Du Shuang's attitude was no longer frivolous. Instead, she was strict in teaching Lin Qianshuang the rhythm of plucking the strings. The progress of their lessons was very fast, and Lin Qianshuang quickly mastered the rhythm of the zither's music. The rhythm also gave her an insight into practising her energy.

After learning a piece of zither music, at Han Shengyao's suggestion, the score was changed to the Demon Emperor's favourite song in order to give Lin Qianshuang the opportunity to leave a good impression on him.

Du Shuang watched her gradually enter the path of the sword, and timely taught her an elementary Qi Refining skill for basic sword cultivation.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Sword Venerable Du Shuang, there are people from the Penglai Immortal Sect asking for an audience."

Du Shuang stood up from beside Lin Qianshuang. For a moment, her face was solemn. She opened the door and said to the person outside, "Tell them to wait in the bamboo room, I'll be there right away."

'Penglai Immortal Sect'.

As soon as Lin Qianshuang heard the name of the sect, her mind began to wander off. She ended up plucking the wrong key, and the whole tune of the song stopped abruptly.

Han Shengyao, who was meditating by the side, opened her eyes. She quickly glanced at the absent look on Lin Qianshuang's face before closing her eyes again and falling into a state of meditation.

"Little disciple. Look for me after you have built your foundation and comprehended the third layer of this sword technique."

Du Shuang left a sword cultivation technique in Lin Qianshuang's arms and said to the meditating Han Shengyao, "Sage, I have something to attend to so I'll be leaving first. You can accompany your disciple and practice for a while longer, the demonic energy here is abundant. If you want to spend the night here, I welcome you."

She closed the door gently and quickly left the study.

Lin Qianshuang picked up the sword technique, which was a rare script that Du Shuang had stuffed in her arms. When she saw its name, she couldn't help but go into deep thought for a while. She happened to know this Floating Imperial Sword technique. This was...... an advanced sword technique, a secret script that belonged to the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Could it be that Du Shuang was a member of the Penglai Immortal Sect before she fell and became a demon?

When Han Shengyao did not hear Lin Qianshuang playing the zither for a long time, she opened her eyes and stood up. She lifted the hems of her dress before taking a seat beside Lin Qianshuang.

She looked at her motionless hand on the zither, as well as her dumbfounded expression. She said, "Shuang'er, do you have something that you don't understand?"

Lin Qianshuang seemed to have not heard her, and continued to be immersed in her own world.

While still in her trance, Han Shengyao silently thought that she was too ashamed to speak up about her difficulties. So she walked behind her, placed her hands on her fingers, and played each note according to the score.

"Support this note with your finger... hook your fingers for these three notes... you need to lift the strings with your fingertips... moderate the strings with your palm(4), and then lift and jump the last three notes. Rapidly condense your energy and gather them, then disperse and regroup them to let them flow successively."

As the sky darkened, soon, it was already nighttime. A candlestick was placed beside the zither stand, the shadows of its fires swayed and stretched on the folding screen.

The charming, alluring voice of Han Shengyao sounded in Lin Qianshuang's ears. Their overlapped hands rose and fell each time they played on the surface of the zither. As they plucked the strings, a melodious tune flowed out like floating clouds and flowing water(5).

With Han Shengyao's corrections on the pauses in the rhythm of her fingers, Lin Qianshuang's finger techniques gradually improved. Weak demonic energy gathered in her Dantian and swirled around in her body, slowly showing signs of breaking into the Foundation Establishment stage.

Seeing that Lin Qianshuang had an enlightenment, Han Shengyao released her hands and rested her chin on her shoulder to look at the surface of the zither. Her lazy eyes were covered in a layer of mist, nobody could see what she was thinking.

"Master, I'm about to break through."

Lin Qianshuang turned her head and looked at Han Shengyao excitedly, but at that moment, her body stiffened.

She felt warm, even breaths close to her face, and a soft touch came from her lips.

Her lips had accidentally brushed against Han Shengyao's cheek, the sensation had caused both of them to freeze.

Lin Qianshuang felt a little embarrassed and pretended that nothing had happened.

While she was teaching Lin Qianshuang to play the zither, Han Shengyao had clearly seen the hickey on her neck.

The disciple is young and naive, maybe she doesn't even know what this mark means.

The atmosphere right now was just right for her to let the disciple understand what this is all about, so that she would not be bullied again.

With these thoughts in mind, Han Shengyao suddenly tugged Lin Qianshuang's hand and pulled her body back.

Lin Qianshuang thought that Han Shengyao was going to scold her for her rudeness. She was about to open her mouth to apologize when suddenly, a finger gently pressed on her lips.

"Shuang'er, this place was touched by Du Shuang, wasn't it?"

Knowing that Han Shengyao was a straight woman, Lin Qianshuang gave her a puzzled look.

Han Shengyao's actions and words were very ambiguous. If she didn't know that the other party was straight or was a person who was very strict to her disciples, Lin Qianshuang would've thought that she was flirting with her.1

She only had one experience of being flirted with by the same sex with bad intentions, but she wasn't as straightforward as Han Shengyao.

Despite her thoughts, a bewildered expression emerged on Lin Qianshuang's face. She bowed her head and said, "Master, did I do something wrong? At that time, I felt uncomfortable so I tried to avoid it."

Han Shengyao placed the finger on her lips away and said with serious eyes, "That's good. Shuang'er, you must remember that kissing can only be done with the person you like. If someone wants to do that to you, then they are bullying you and taking advantage of you."1

Lin Qianshuang nodded obediently, "Master, this disciple understands."

Han Shengyao looked at her with satisfaction, but at this moment, time suddenly went to a standstill.

[Host... in fact, before Han Shengyao came in, you had already unsealed the acupoints in your body. You're really willing to go out of your way to gain her pity and trust ah.]

The system's voice suddenly rang out.

For a moment, Lin Qianshuang was indifferent. Then she said with a little disdain, "Du Shuang can't take advantage of me anyway. If you want to kiss, just kiss. What can two women do to each other?"1

[Host, you...... you really are hopeless.]3

[I actually have a plan to increase Han Shengyao's favorability right now. I'm just not sure if the host is willing to do it.]

"How much is the increase? I'll do it if the favorability increases by more than 20%."

Lin Qianshuang was already a little worried. From the moment Xiao Lanle's rescue strategy interface appeared, she had realized that she did not have enough time left to spend in the Demon Realm.

For ordinary demons, cultivating for 10 or 20 years was just a blink of an eye. But for her, everything had to follow the novel's plot.

According to the progress of the original novel, Xiao Lanle will be selected by the Penglai Immortal Sect to marry Liang Jingxuan in five years.

In other words, she must complete her mission in the Demon Realm within five years.

[Host, as long as you read the lines I give you, I can guarantee that Han Shengyao's favorability will increase by 25% in an instant.]

As soon as she heard the increase of 25%, Lin Qianshuang said without lifting her eyelids, "What do you want me to read?"

A series of words appeared in front of her eyes.

Lin Qianshuang felt a little embarrassed as her face turned green, "Do you want me to seduce Han Shengyao?"5

[Both of you have such a good atmosphere going on, and there's also a 25% increase in favorability. Host, you can judge it for yourself.]

Time resumed.

Lin Qianshuang felt bitter and bit her lower lip. She raised her eyes filled with doubt and curiosity and gently touched the corners of her lips with a thoughtful expression.

"Master, I saw a book in Du Shuang's study. The people in it didn't seem to kiss like that. Ah, but...... rather......"

"Rather what?"

Han Shengyao was thinking of how to teach her disciple to meditate next. As soon as she thought of an idea and was about to speak up, all of a sudden, her lips were roughly blocked. The look in her originally lazy eyes varied from time to time, and for a moment, her eyes darkened.1

"It seems to be...... like this."

Lin Qianshuang tried her best to imagine her partner as a charming and handsome guy. She took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself. She lifted Han Shengyao's chin, tilted her face up, and deeply covered her light-colored lips. She unreservedly licked and lightly bit the other party's lip, and tried to pry open her closed teeth to drive her tongue in.3

......

(1)T/N: "...face full of spring" - Contentment / Happiness & Satisfaction.

(2)T/N: May or may not change demonic energy -> evil qi. Energy Refining doesn't sound quite right imo.

(3)T/N: "...return good for evil..." - Basically repaying evil with kindness / treating the other party well despite being treated harshly by them.

(4)T/N: Original text: "掌腹抚弦，"

MTL says "Palm belly caresses". I'm not sure if zither players stroke the strings with their palm, so I ended up writing down the Fú (伏) finger technique where zither players use the palm of their right hand to dampen the strings. Correct me if I'm wrong.

(5)T/N: "...floating clouds and flowing water." - Natural and smooth.+
