Chapter 222: I Should Be Ashamed Of Myself.
"Mm~~"
"What is this thing? Is it some kind of sweet?" wondered Yin Yun as she carefully examined the peculiar substance on her hand.
The taste was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
It was a burst of flavors, both sweet and tangy, dancing on her taste buds. Yin Yun couldn't help but fall in love with this delightful treat.
Its sweetness brought a smile to her face.
Not only that, but the energy contained in the sticky liquid was so pure. Yin Yun could feel that the obstruction that was stopping her from advancing in her cultivation was gradually moving, which completely stunned her.
She was still at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm and was one step away from opening the first door of her Meridian.
"Yin Yun!" Su Bingxin called out as she abruptly entered the room, breaking Yin Yun's trance.
Su Bingxin's eyes widened as she saw Yin Yun sitting on the edge of the messy bed. A look of pure embarrassment followed on Su Bingxin's face.
"Eh!"
Startled, Yin Yun quickly wiped her hand clean and turned towards Su Bingxin.
"What is it?" Yin Yun asked, still savoring the lingering taste in her mouth, but sweat glistened on her forehead.
Su Bingxin's face was flushed red with embarrassment.
'Ah!! She saw the mess!' Su Bingxin screamed in her mind.
Last night, after dual cultivation with Chen Tian, they left the room in a complete mess. Clothes were scattered all over the floor, books were haphazardly stacked on the desk, and the bedsheets were crumpled and tangled.
Su Bingxin's heart sank as she realized she had forgotten to clean up.
She quickly composed herself and tried to sound normal. "Hehe, Sister Yin Yun, the food is ready. Would you like me to set the table?" Su Bingxin asked, desperately trying to divert Yin Yun's attention away from the chaotic room.
"Y-Yes! I would love that," Yin Yun replied, her eyes darting around the room briefly before focusing back on Su Bingxin's face.
She was also embarrassed because she was caught.
She tried her best to act casual and nonchalant, but her mind was racing with thoughts.
'How much did she see?' Yin Yun thought, feeling a mix of guilt and embarrassment.
First, she entered someone's room without permission, and now she had been caught in the act. She hoped that Su Bingxin hadn't noticed anything suspicious.
"Good, we should go set the table then," Su Bingxin said, leading the way to the dining room.
'I need to clean the room before anyone else sees it,' Su Bingxin thought to herself.
Yin Yun followed, feeling a knot of nerves in her stomach.
As they walked to the living room, Su Bingxin started putting the food that she had prepared earlier on the table.
Yin Yun watched as she meticulously arranged everything, trying to distract herself from the thoughts racing through her mind.
They ate their meal in silence, both focused on their plates and avoiding eye contact. Yin Yun tried to keep her expression neutral, hoping that Su Bingxin wouldn't notice anything suspicious.
She chewed slowly, taking small bites. The taste of that white, sticky liquid still lingered in her mouth.
She really liked the taste of the white, sticky liquid, but she couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that something was wrong. 'What was that thing? Should I ask Sister Bingxin? Maybe she could give me some of it later.' Yin Yun pondered, contemplating whether to bring up the topic.
Not only was the taste heavenly, but her cultivation also progressed slightly; she believed if she had enough of that thing, she could step into the Meridian Opening Realm easily.
Yin Yun was still waiting for her master to create the pill that she was promised. She had been eagerly anticipating its arrival, as her master had assured her that it would greatly enhance her cultivation.
However, she hesitated, fearing that Su Bingxin might become upset because she entered her room without asking for permission.
Yin Yun decided to keep her curiosity to herself for now, not wanting to risk making Su Bingxin upset.
As she continued to eat, Su Bingxin had different thoughts in mind. She noticed that Yin Yun was acting strangely and seemed preoccupied.
'Ahh!! It's over; she has seen everything!' Su Bingxin cried out loudly in her mind.
She quickly tried to compose herself and pretend that everything was normal.
After eating and chatting for a while, Yin Yun decided to leave. "I think it's time for me to leave, Sister Bingxin; I still have to go back and see my master." Yin Yun said it with a slight hesitation, avoiding eye contact with Su Bingxin.
Then Su Bingxin nodded. "Sister Yin Yun can come visit anytime. I would love to spend more time together." Su Bingxin smiled warmly, hoping to convey her sincerity.
As Yin Yun walked towards the door, Su Bingxin couldn't resist but ask, "Yin Yun, is there something on your mind? You seem a bit off today." Yin Yun paused for a moment, her eyes filled with uncertainty.
"No, it's nothing," she replied hastily.
'I can't let Sister Bingxin know what I did in her room,' Yin Yun quickly thought.
"Do you know when Brother Chen Tian will return?" She changed the question to divert Su Bingxin's attention from her own thoughts.
"I'm not sure," Su Bingxin replied, her voice tinged with concern.
"He didn't mention when he would be back. But he said he wouldn't take too long." Yin Yun nodded, relieved that the conversation had shifted away from her.
"Then does Sister Bingxin want to train with me on the sword?" Yin Yun asked, suddenly taking the opportunity to change the subject once again.
"Training?" Su Bingxin raised an eyebrow, surprised by Yin Yun's sudden request.
"Yes, I can feel from your state that you are close to unlocking the first level of Sword Aura; let me help you," Yin Yun explained confidently.
After a moment of hesitation, she smiled and replied, "Sure, why not? It could be fun to train together." Yin Yun grinned mischievously, knowing that she had successfully diverted Su Bingxin's attention once again.
"Then let's start tomorrow," Yin Yun said eagerly. "We can meet at the training grounds in the morning or here if you want."
Su Bingxin nodded, intrigued by the prospect of achieving her Sword Aura.
"Then let's train together tomorrow here." Su Bingxin agreed but wanted them to train here alone without any distractions.
Yin Yun didn't mind, as she also liked to have privacy during their training sessions.
"Then see you tomorrow, Sister Bingxin!" Yin Yun said cheerfully as they bid each other goodbye.
Su Bingxin watched Yin Yun's retreating figure, and when Yin Yun left her sight, she closed the door and quickly walked to her room.
"I really should clean up the room," she thought to herself.

Yin Yun just left Su Bingxin's house and quickly returned to her residence in the core area of the sect.
Entering her room, Yin Yun immediately kicked off her shoes and jumped on her bed. Her face was red from shame as she recalled the events of the day.
She took out a small tube from her storage ring that contained some sticky substance and looked at it with remorse.
"Ah! Why did I take it?" She took some of the liquid on the bed and hid it in her ring, without Su Bingxin noticing.
"I should be ashamed of myself."
Ashamed of what she had done, Yin Yun was feeling embarrassed, but she couldn't help it; the taste that she had experienced was irresistible.
She still didn't know what this substance was, but she liked it, and that was what scared her the most. She had always prided herself on her self-control and discipline, but now she found herself succumbing to temptation.
Because of her lack of knowledge about this kind of stuff, Yin Yun wasn't able to recognize that the substance that she ate was Yang Qi.
Because of Chen Tian Chaos God Body, which was full of energy, and the Primordial Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique, the taste of his Yang Qi would always change to the taste his woman liked, or especially any woman, as it would make them addicted to the taste.
Yin Yun found herself becoming addicted to the taste of this white liquid.
The more she indulged in it, the harder it became for her to resist the temptation.
'Unfortunately, there is only a little bit left.' The amount couldn't satisfy her cravings.
"Aghh! I need more of it," Yin Yun exclaimed in frustration, her voice filled with desire.
"You need what, my dear disciple?"
Suddenly, a gentle voice interrupted Yin Yun's frustrated exclamation.
Yin Yun turned around to see a beautiful woman with long, flowing white hair standing behind her.
The woman's beauty was so captivating that Yin Yun couldn't help but also be enchanted by her presence.
The woman's ethereal appearance and graceful demeanor seemed to possess an otherworldly charm.
"Master!"
The woman was none other than Duan Shu; she looked at her disciple with a warm smile.
