After coming out of the haunted house, Yun Jin didn't mind spending a few more simplification attempts on Gu Jinghong.
First, Gu Jinghong's life and death were all within her single thought.
Second, Gu Jinghong would, in the haunted house, continuously provide her with Emotion Points.
Just the emotions earned by Gu Jinghong himself should be more than enough to spend on him.
"Master, you've been troubled." Gu Jinghong gripped the porcelain bottle tightly, faint tears glimmering in his eyes.
Pills that could improve comprehension in formations.
He had never even heard of such a thing in his life.
Now, however, Master casually handed them to him.
What kind of trust was this?
What kind of great favor was this?
Gu Jinghong swore, "Your servant will devote himself wholeheartedly! I'll never let Master down!"
"Alright, when you return to your room later, take the first pill, and after that, take them according to the method I taught you." Yun Jin waved her hand. "You may withdraw now."
Gu Jinghong bowed slightly and respectfully retreated.
After Yun Jin saw Gu Jinghong enter his room, she used a few simplification attempts on him, enhancing his comprehension in formations.
This system now gave her a kind of 'nurturing' feeling.
At present, those she wanted to 'nurture' were Gun Gun and Huan Huan, and then Gu Jinghong and Ye Cheng.
Gun Gun and Gu Jinghong were basically self-sufficient and could even earn her some Emotion Points on the side.
Huan Huan and Ye Cheng were currently pure investments.
Later she would have to think of a way to make them earn Emotion Points on their own as well.
After using the attempts on Gu Jinghong, Yun Jin observed his cultivation a bit.
Seeing his formation proficiency continuously rising, she stopped watching.
For Gu Jinghong to have learned to this extent by self-study, his talent was decent. With the system's bonus added, he would even become a formation genius.
By the time she returned from going out, he should've made great progress.
Although she had decided to go down the mountain, for now Yun Jin had only told Gu Jinghong about it.
Before telling others, Yun Jin went to take a look at Ye Danxia and Yang Yun.
"This way, this way." The disciple on guard enthusiastically led Yun Jin over.
From a distance, Yun Jin saw, upon the wasteland, one tall and one small hunched figure.
Ye Danxia and Yang Yun were using their meager spiritual power to drive the plow for tilling, turning the soil over again and again.
"Too slow! Faster!" Beside them, a supervising disciple shouted harshly.
If the two were even a little slower, the whip would fall upon them, it's truly miserable.
Yun Jin stood to the side and watched for a while.
Ye Danxia noticed her presence first.
On Ye Danxia's originally somewhat numb face, a hatred that's bone-deep instantly flashed. She shouted loudly, "Yun Jin! You! You still dare to come!"
"Who allowed you to speak like that!" The supervising disciple's whip fell mercilessly on Ye Danxia.
Ye Danxia bit down on her teeth. She glared at Yun Jin in anger, yet did not dare to provoke her again.
Yun Jin ignored Ye Danxia and looked toward Yang Yun beside her.
The female lead's Qi Luck value had now dropped drastically.
But what concerned Yun Jin was.
Yang Yun's Qi Luck value had, after dropping to 90, not dropped further.
This proved.
The current predicament couldn't yet cause any great impact on Yang Yun.
Yun Jin thought a bit and could also understand.
The reason Yang Yun's Qi Luck hadn't dropped much was mainly because he possessed the Nirvana Technique. As long as he was given the chance, he could cultivate again.
Moreover.
According to the events in the book.
After Yang Yun cultivated his strength back, he deliberately leaked the news to his rival in the Demon Realm and also contacted his subordinates in the Demon Realm.
After that came the Demon Clan's assault on the mountain. Tianxing Sect suffered a massacre, while Yang Yun used this opportunity to eliminate his rivals in the Demon Clan and, gathering his subordinates, soon returned to the Demon Realm, regaining the position of Demon Lord.
After such an ordeal, his status in the Demon Realm not only didn't fall, but because he had purged his dissenters, it became even more secure.
However.
The plot where Yang Yun summoned the Demon Clan had to wait until after he completely recovered his strength.
As for the current Yang Yun…
Because he had been tormented consecutively, he still only had Qi Refining Stage cultivation.
In the Demon Realm, the strong was respected. In such a state, even if Yang Yun were given ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare summon people from the Demon Realm.
Yun Jin narrowed her eyes.
Yang Yun didn't dare.
Then what about her?
In the previous life, the Demon Clan slaughtered Tianxing Sect.
In this life, this debt must be collected.
Wait.
Wait until she's even stronger.
Yun Jin concealed the emotion in her heart, the corners of her lips lifted into a smile, "You two look like you're doing quite well."
Doing quite well?
This was called doing quite well?
Ye Danxia looked at Yun Jin in disbelief.
Yun Jin slowly walked over.
Although Ye Danxia had just been clamoring fiercely, when Yun Jin actually walked over, she immediately shivered in fright.
But Yun Jin merely stopped in front of Yang Yun.
Yang Yun lifted his eyes, looking at Yun Jin with a blank expression.
Compared to Ye Danxia, who looked on the verge of collapse, Yang Yun's eyes were pitch-black, completely revealing no emotion.
A child's face, yet with such eyes, inexplicably made people feel chilled.
Yun Jin bent slightly and then, with a faint smile, pressed her hand hard on Yang Yun's shoulder.
"What do you want to do?" Yang Yun looked at Yun Jin with some shock and anger.
Yun Jin separated out a portion of her mental power and directly planted it into Yang Yun's sea of consciousness.
From now on, as long as Yang Yun's cultivation didn't surpass hers, this mental power would torment Yang Yun day and night, making him completely unable to cultivate. If someone tried to forcibly refine it away, Yun Jin would detect it at the first moment.
"Yang Yun," Yun Jin said calmly, "your current cultivation is just fine. No matter what you were before, from now on, you'll properly be a Tianxing Sect Qi Refining Stage laborer."
Didn't Yang Yun have the Nirvana Technique?
No problem.
When the time came.
She could kill him once, twice, three times, until he could no longer undergo nirvana.
But during nirvana, the technique would forcibly carry its master away from the original place. Once she killed Yang Yun, she would have to search for him again. For the moment, Yun Jin wouldn't lay hands on him. At least she would first squeeze out all the value on him.
"Yun Jin, to be so vicious to a child, you're not human." Ye Danxia's face changed, and she screamed shrilly.
Her expression was even more broken.
But Yun Jin understood.
Rather than say Ye Danxia felt sorry for Yang Yun, it's better to say that she felt sorry for herself.
She knew Yang Yun's identity. Now she pinned all her hopes on Yang Yun returning as a king in the future to take revenge on everyone.
But if Yang Yun's strength could never rise again.
What revenge was there to talk about?
This move of Yun Jin's destroyed not only Yang Yun, but also Ye Danxia's future hope.
"Presumptuous!" Before Yun Jin made any move, the supervising disciple's whip had already fallen again.
Yun Jin smiled and said warmly, "Danxia, you have to live well. I'll come to see you again."
Afterward, she didn't look at the two again and turned to leave.
Yun Jin left cleanly and crisply. At night, when Ye Danxia finally finished her hard work, she could no longer endure the grievance in her heart.
She couldn't resist saying to Yang Yun, "You're so powerful. You can't just be controlled by a Yun Jin, right? If we continue like this, we'll both be crippled soon! Can't you think of a way?"
The Yang Yun in the book was scheming and all-capable, giving Ye Danxia an unparalleled sense of security.
What about the Yang Yun now?
Perhaps he no longer had these traits that Ye Danxia liked.
"What are you so anxious about?" Yang Yun looked at Ye Danxia coldly. "You're just my dog, you better be honest."
This tone, too, had none of the gentleness and pampering of the previous life.
This pair of immortal lovers from the previous life, only had mutual resentment left in this life.
