Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 465: The Pain Is Real!

The purple-clad woman named You Yao shook her head and refused, “My duty is to protect Your Highness. I dare not leave my post.”

Jun Wuxie frowned and said, “With Elder Ming here, the Shadow Guards, and the formations you’ve set up, what could possibly happen to me?”

You Yao looked at Yue Shuying and hesitated. “But that little demon…”

Jun Wuxie’s face turned cold. “You Yao, even if you’re only temporarily assigned to me, you should at least follow my orders!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

You Yao, looking helpless, turned to Shangguan Qiong and said, “Sect Leader Shangguan, please follow me.”

Shangguan Qiong smiled seductively and said, “Then Yuqiong will go to the room to bathe and change and wait for Your Highness’s favor.”

“Don’t worry, my beauty. This prince will be there soon,” Jun Wuxie replied with a smile.

Shangguan Qiong giggled, swaying her hips as she followed You Yao with an alluring grace.

After the two women left, Jun Wuxie stood thoughtfully for a moment before handing the Refining Spirit Ginseng to Elder Ming.

“Elder Ming, you’ve seen a lot of the world. Do you think there’s anything wrong with this Refining Spirit Ginseng?”

Elder Ming carefully scanned the ginseng with his Spirit Sense and nodded. “It matches the records. The medicinal power is strong. There’s no problem.”

Jun Wuxie then looked at Yue Shuying, who was cowering in the white jade cauldron, and transmitted his voice to Elder Ming.

“Elder Ming, Shangguan Yuqiong claims that this little demon is a half-demon with Heavenly Leech Demon blood. Can you verify that?”

Elder Ming reached out to grab Yue Shuying, but she instantly transformed into a puddle of water, disappearing into the liquid.

However, a transparent stream could still be seen moving within the emerald green water, faintly revealing her figure.

Elder Ming’s spiritual sense was blocked by the green spiritual liquid. He tried to scoop her up several times, but she slipped through his grasp like real water.

“Formless in water and possessing the Clear Pupil Divine Eye-she is indeed from the Heavenly Leech Demon Clan. However, this is the first time I’ve heard of a half-demon from this clan.”

Jun Wuxie asked puzzled, “Shapeless in water? Then why can we still see her with our eyes?”

Elder Ming explained, “This spiritual liquid has the ability to block all forms of detection and transformation. That woman Shangguan Yuqiong must have put some effort into it.”

He reached out and slapped the White Jade Cauldron, activating the restrictions within it.

The cauldron glowed with a radiant light, and a scream of pain came from the water as the surface rippled violently.

Moments later, Yue Shuying reappeared in the pool, looking extremely weak.

Elder Ming grabbed her by the neck and sneered, “Little demon, not hiding anymore?”

Yue Shuying quickly shook her head, fear in her eyes. “Spare me, sir. I won’t hide anymore.”

Jun Wuxie hastily intervened, “Elder Ming, don’t be rude. You’re scaring her.”

Elder Ming released her and apologized, “My apologies, Your Highness.”

Jun Wuxie picked up the Refining Spirit Ginseng and asked Yue Shuying, “Can you refine this Refining Spirit Ginseng?”

Yue Shuying pretended to be scared and nodded. “Yes, but I need some additional spiritual herbs.”

Jun Wuxie’s excitement grew. “What do you need?”

Yue Shuying’s eyes darted around as she listed, “I need Heavenly Spirit Flower, Spirit Calming Grass, Purple Moon Vine…”

“Then you’ll have to prepare a large pool of water for me to refine the spiritual liquid.”

Elder Ming shook his head. “Your Highness, this little demon is deceitful. If she enters the water, she’ll escape.”

Jun Wuxie’s eyes flashed coldly. “Teach her a lesson!”

Without hesitation, Elder Ming activated the formation within the White Jade Kettle.

Yue Shuying immediately screamed in agony, her form constantly shifting between human and water.

Yue Shuying clutched her head and cried out, “I know I was wrong! Your Highness, spare me! Elder, spare me!”

But Jun Wuxie remained unmoved, and Elder Ming watched coldly as Yue Shuying struggled in the cauldron.

Ignoring his pity for Yue Shuying, Lin Fengmian carefully studied Jun Wuxie’s subtle expressions and movements.

After a while, Elder Ming finally stopped. Yue Shuying was left half-dead, slumped weakly at the bottom of the cauldron.

Lin Fengmian suddenly found his view blocked and instinctively tried to move back, but there was nowhere to go.

Through the transparent bottom of the cauldron, a hidden path beneath the lush grass was now right before his eyes.

It was a secluded path leading to a quiet and deep place.

Yue Shuying, who had been tortured thoroughly, had no idea that she had accidentally become a spectacle.

In her mind, she cursed Shangguan Qiong for insisting that she act like she wanted to escape, saying that it would make things more believable.

Now, it was indeed believable.

The pain was real!

Jun Wuxie leaned over and looked down at Yue Shuying, his voice cold. “Little demon, I’ll give you one more chance. Say it again!”

Yue Shuying huddled at the bottom of the cauldron, looking pitiful and weak. “The spiritual herbs are indeed necessary, but I don’t need a pool. This Exquisite White Jade Cauldron will suffice.”

“However, I can’t leave the spiritual liquid. Whether it’s refining or purifying bloodlines, the spiritual liquid must be the medium.”

Jun Wuxie looked at Elder Ming for confirmation. Elder Ming nodded and said, “This time she’s telling the truth.

Jun Wuxie promised, “Little demon, as long as you help me purify my spiritual roots, I guarantee you’ll live a life of luxury!”

Yue Shuying blinked innocently. “But I don’t like spicy food.”

Jun Wuxie was speechless for a moment.

This little demon had some brains, but not many.

“As long as you help me, you can have anything you want except your freedom.”

Yue Shuying’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Really,” Jun Wuxie replied with a slight smile.

“Okay, then I’ll help you.”

“But for my clan’s bloodline purification, I must draw blood, mix it with the spiritual liquid, and then absorb it back,” Yue Shuying added.

“This process can be quite painful. If you can’t endure it, then all our efforts will be wasted. You’ll have to bear with it, and you can’t blame me afterwards!”

Jun Wuxie’s expression changed slightly, and he frowned. “How painful will it be?”

“Like having your bones scraped and your marrow extracted. Most people can’t endure it,” Yue Shuying warned him in advance.

“This…”

Jun Wuxie hesitated, but Elder Ming calmly advised him.

“Your Highness, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it first tests their resolve and tempers their will! Please endure for a while.”

Yue Shuying chimed in, “If we combine it with Sect Leader Shangguan’s seduction techniques, it should help alleviate the pain.”

Jun Wuxie didn’t think much of it and nodded his head. “Alright. Elder Ming, go and bring Shangguan Yuqiong here!”

Elder Ming hesitated. “Your Highness, should we call You Yao as well?”

“This little demon looks just like an ordinary leech demon. As long as you and I don’t say anything, You Yao shouldn’t be able to tell her true nature.”

Jun Wuxie thought for a moment and nodded. “Fine, let’s do as you say. Have her guard the process as well. It will also prevent Shangguan Yuqiong from trying anything funny.”

As Elder Ming prepared to leave, Jun Wuxie stopped him.

“Elder Ming, the courtyard is too dusty. Do me a favor and clean it up.”

Elder Ming immediately understood and asked, “Understood, Your Highness. What about the Han sisters?”

Jun Wuxie’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Keep them for now. I still need Shangguan Yuqiong, so it’s best not to offend her too soon.”

“Besides, Yuping and Yuling are still virgins. It would be a waste to kill them outright. I should at least absorb the yin energy from their bodies first.”

Elder Ming nodded. “Understood!”

He sealed the Jade Cauldron and hurried away.
