Chapter 0 of 31. Heartache
“However, please don’t be so impatient, sister. Before you take off your veil, let me help you relax. After all, you’ve been through so many battles, you must be very tired.” Qin Gou’s figure floated ethereal like a ghost, appearing behind Qiu Qianyue.
Qiu Qianyue turned around vigilantly and questioned, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Qin Gou deliberately sneered, “What? Do you mean that with my current cultivation, I can still be taken seriously by you to the point where I need to be so on guard?”
Qiu Qianyue’s brows relaxed, and she said indifferently, “I just want to know how Little Sister intends to help me relax?”
“Naturally, it’s to rub your shoulders and beat your back. My technique is extraordinary.”
“So that’s how it is.” Qiu Qianyue gave Qin Gou a deep look and said, “In that case, you are a disciple of the Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace, aren’t you? I wonder how much of your Palace Lord’s flattering tricks you have learned? This truly piques this Female Hero’s interest.”
“Then you’ll have to experience it yourself, sister.” Qin Gou smiled and gently placed his hands on Qiu Qianyue’s shoulders.
In truth, Qin Gou was completely incompetent at massage techniques for serving others. However, having been served by Ye Qishuang for so long, he could roughly fumble through it with his ear-and-eye-training. After all, his real goal was not to make Qiu Qianyue comfortable.
Time passed quickly. Coupled with Qin Gou’s unskillful pressing technique, Qiu Qianyue couldn’t help but furrow her delicate brows and say, “Little Sister, I think the foreplay should be enough, right? This Female Hero, I still have important matters to attend to. If you can’t satisfy me now, I’ll directly eliminate you, how about that?”
Qin Gou chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect Sister to be so heartless, but you are right about one thing, the foreplay is indeed enough.”
Hearing this, Qiu Qianyue’s eyes lit up, and a hint of excitement appeared on her pretty face. She was experiencing such a wonderful thing in the wilderness for the first time, and she even felt a little thrilled.
Immediately after, Qin Gou used the special spiritual power condensed by his Enlightenment True Body to forcefully press on the red spot on Qiu Qianyue’s swan-like, snow-white, slender neck, a spot invisible to ordinary people.
In an instant, Qiu Qianyue’s beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Her long and graceful body trembled as if electrocuted, feeling an extreme sense of numbness and pleasure throughout her body. She was so scared that she hurriedly tried to escape like her life depended on it, but her legs felt weak.
Even her renowned technique, ‘Divine Footwork Technique’, hailed as the ‘Number One Divine Movement’ of this era, couldn’t be performed smoothly.
“You, what kind of massage technique is this? Did you learn it from your Palace Lord?” Qiu Qianyue exclaimed in shock and blurted out, “No wonder Master always doted on Ye Qishuang so much. So this was how Master felt when Ye Qishuang served him? Heavens, what an incredible secret has this Female Hero discovered!”
Qin Gou couldn’t help but darken his expression and grit his teeth, “Heh heh, what do you think of my technique, Sister? Would you like to try again?”
“No, absolutely not!” Qiu Qianyue’s eyes held a hint of expectation, but her lips hastily refused sternly, “This is not a massage, it’s a thoroughly lewd technique. It’s too terrifying. You better not come near me now, or this Female Hero will get rough with you.”
A smile of success flashed in Qin Gou’s eyes as he questioned, “So, Sister, after enjoying a moment of massage, you’ve already reacted?”
“What? You, why are you speaking so explicitly and vulgarly, Little Sister!” Qiu Qianyue’s face rapidly flushed red as if her innermost secret had been exposed, and she gritted her teeth and yelled.
“I just didn’t expect that the dignified Perfume Stealing Demoness would also accompany me to the misty peaks under a man’s teasing…”
“Presumptuous! What did you call me? Wait, what nonsense are you talking about? A man?!” Qiu Qianyue felt a faint panic in her heart.
Qin Gou directly tore off his veil. The Faceless Hermit bloodline caused several demonic marks to flicker on his face, instantly restoring his male appearance. “This is my true face.”
Qiu Qianyue shrieked, her beautiful face drained of color, “You’re really a man? This, this is impossible… Bastard, you’re asking for death! I must kill you! No, who are you? Why do you look so familiar?”
Qin Gou gave her an annoyed look. Familiar? Nonsense. When this damned wench was teasing Gu Feiyan back then, he was also present with this appearance. He didn’t expect her to forget so quickly. Clearly, this indebted wench had always only focused on women.
However, this suited Qin Gou’s intentions perfectly. He seized the opportunity and said, “Because we’re not old friends already? Qiu Qianyue, what did you call me back then? Oh right… Heartless One!”
Heartless One.
Qiu Qianyue’s past inner demon, the nightmare her soul feared most. These simple three words instantly stabbed into Qiu Qianyue’s mind like a sharp knife, deafening her, and at this moment, rendering her bewildered and dumbfounded.
The continuous bizarre scenes along the way, the strange techniques that so easily brought her pleasure, the effortless switching between genders, coupled with this terrifying name known only to a very few, made Qiu Qianyue unable to doubt, nor dare to doubt at this moment.
She cried. Large, crystalline tears gushed out uncontrollably. This wench’s tears were always worthless, but this time, she was so terrified that she fell to the ground and kept backing away, getting covered in mud. Her little face grew even paler, evoking pity.
“Why, why won’t you let me go?!” The indebted wench, who never paid any mind to Dharma Aspect True Persons, cried hoarsely now, completely losing her composure. Because she knew that no matter how fast she ran, no matter how unrivaled her movement technique was, she couldn’t outrun the Heartless One. This nightmare would cling to her like a maggot on bone, following her like a shadow.
“I beg you, I beg you to let me go, or just kill me. Stop tormenting me.” Qiu Qianyue wept profusely, wildly tugging at her hair, her fear bordering on madness.
Qin Gou shook his head with a wry smile. He had known from the beginning that simply by bringing up the name ‘Heartless One’, he could easily make Qiu Qianyue retreat. He just hadn’t expected her to react so strongly. After so many years of his care and guidance, she still turned into that helpless child crying in his arms on that stormy night just by hearing these three words.
“Wuwuwu, Master, what if the Heartless One bullies me again?”
“Then I, your Master, will immediately appear and protect you. Even if it’s the Heavenly King himself, I won’t allow anyone to harm my indebted little girl.”
…
Qin Gou’s original intention was to use the identity of the Heartless One to tell Qiu Qianyue to get lost immediately. But at this moment, looking at the crying, sobbing indebted wench before him, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
He let out a long sigh. While Qiu Qianyue was covering her face and crying, not paying attention, he patted his Nas, and the Stone Spirit in a green shirt transformed into Qin Gou’s original appearance, the true visage of the Celestial Master of Arc-Moon Mountain. Then, with the speed of a fierce wind, he grabbed Qin Gou by the neck and lifted him into the air.
At this moment, Qiu Qianyue just happened to look up. The young man in the green shirt, who descended like a heavenly god, instantly filled her vision.
The man she always silently called upon in her heart in her most helpless moments had truly appeared. Just like before, whenever she choked back tears, he would always be the first to pull her into his warm and broad embrace.
Her heart’s demon, whom she feared immensely, was so weak and insignificant in his hands.
The sentiment of this moment struck her heart and was permanently etched into her soul.
“Master!”
Qiu Qianyue’s tears flowed like a gushing spring, but this time, her tears were not of fear, but of overwhelming joy mixed with longing and dependence.
