Chapter 761: Ye Wenxin: What Do You Like About Me, So I Can Change It
Ye Wenxin lounged leisurely, unconcerned about spending the night in this ominous room with the innkeeper. The innkeeper seemed oblivious to everything, and Ye Wenxin asked numerous questions before confirming that she had no ties to Feng Yue Palace. This was merely a black inn, targeting lechers as ingredients for their buns.
Traveling alone and dressed in a non-distinct manner, Ye Wenxin had unintentionally exposed the inn's secret, making herself a target. She realized Liu Churan and her group wouldn't easily let her go and contemplated how to best reduce their favor towards her.
Even though her role as the young master was useful, Liu Churan's obsession was a looming threat. If she couldn't pursue Gu Qingcheng, turning against Ye Wenxin's innocent persona would be perilous. With this in mind, Ye Wenxin smirked at the innkeeper.
"Now start calling out... the more wanton, the better," Ye Wenxin instructed, making a mess of the bed and whispering to the innkeeper to begin her performance.
Under Ye Wenxin's control, the innkeeper couldn't resist and began making suggestive noises. The sound was intriguing enough to draw the attention of the curious staff, wondering why the innkeeper hadn't killed her target. However, the room had been treated with a special illusion by the white furball, so even if Liu Churan herself appeared, she'd see nothing but fantasies.
Ye Wenxin almost wished for Liu Churan to witness the spectacle she had orchestrated. Yet none of this happened, apart from the peeping staff outside, no other presence was felt. Ye Wenxin yawned again, noting the innkeeper's performance had lasted nearly half an hour. She snapped her fingers, signaling the finale.
The innkeeper collapsed weakly, a fervent admiration on her face. Ye Wenxin wondered if it was her imagination, but after absorbing the peach poison from Jin Xiaoqin, her powers seemed significantly enhanced.
"Could it be that this peach poison benefits me but is deadly to others?" Ye Wenxin pondered, unaware she had absorbed a crucial part of Jin Xiaoqin's hard-earned cultivation.
Breathing deeply, she felt a soothing sensation in her Dantian, sensing a breakthrough in her cultivation. This anomaly puzzled her, as she hadn't been diligently training, making her wary of unforeseen consequences.
"Look at Yue'er, she got mind-reading powers without side effects, while I struggle for years to finally get a golden finger, only to have it riddled with problems, harming others and myself," Ye Wenxin thought of Long Qingyue, who faced no issues with her mind-reading powers.
As for Long Qingyue's leg disability, it resulted from the inescapable fate of the Yiquemen's heart method, not the mind-reading powers. Though she overcame this with another method, her personality soured further. Remembering that Liu Churan was drawn by Long Qingyue's nonsense, Ye Wenxin felt a surge of annoyance. However, this phase of life would soon end. She called the innkeeper over with a gesture.
The innkeeper approached, still under Ye Wenxin's control. Noting the lasting control, Ye Wenxin summoned the yellow furball.
The yellow furball loved women and would seize any chance to lick them. Ye Wenxin often called upon it for mischievous tasks she preferred not to handle herself.
"Go and gently bite her neck," Ye Wenxin instructed. The yellow furball eagerly complied, licking the innkeeper affectionately, its feline face blissfully content.
