Chapter 169 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Long Yun's mansion is actually located within the Kanares Academy. More precisely, Long Yun's mansion is situated inside a cave within the Kanares Academy - but all of this has nothing to do with Nan Yin. When Long Yun bid farewell to her yesterday, she gave Nan Yin a jade pendant. This pendant not only serves as a means of contacting Long Yun, but it also allows Long Yun to sense Nan Yin's location. Furthermore, if Nan Yin wishes to visit Long Yun, all she has to do is touch the jade pendant, and she'll instantly be transported to Long Yun's mansion within the Kanares Academy. As Nan Yin touched the pendant, she felt a dizziness in her head and then found herself standing on a grassy lawn. Subconsciously, Nan Yin looked around. This place seemed like an island. She was standing on a grassy area not far from the beach, and in the distance, the shimmering sea alongside the sunny beach caught her eye. Nan Yin even saw a few assertive little crabs scuttling along the sandy shore. "Is this the cave that Long Yun created?" Nan Yin looked around at the beach, which bore a striking resemblance to the real environment, momentarily thinking she had arrived in Hawaii. Previously, when Nan Yin viewed the world through the perspective of the cat puppet, she mostly saw Long Yun in a luxurious house in Shenchuang. This hidden realm was absolutely unseen, which was why Nan Yin felt so amazed at this moment. It was said that the caves created by top-tier experts had their own rules and cycles of weather systems. It seemed that Long Yun's mansion was no exception. Nan Yin could have asked Luo Nu, considering her cultivation level was almost on par with Long Yun's. However, today, Nan Yin did not bring that ring; she left it at the company. Mainly because Nan Yin was concerned that Long Yun, with her recent breakthrough in cultivation, might discover Luo Nu. That would do more harm than good, so she chose not to bring it. "Are you daydreaming?" Just as Nan Yin was lost in thought, a cold voice suddenly reached her ears. Coming back to herself, she realized that Long Yun had already appeared by her side at some point. At that moment, the ice-cold beauty stood with her arms crossed, looking at Nan Yin with raised eyebrows. "I... It's my first time here." She explained reluctantly. Nan Yin noticed that even though she could be assertive at times, she couldn't seem to assert herself in front of Long Yun. "First visit? It's okay. You'll have plenty of opportunities in the future." Long Yun suddenly smirked mischievously, saying something that sent shivers down Nan Yin's spine. Long Yun's mischievous smile made Nan Yin feel as if her heart had stopped - not because Long Yun was so beautiful, but because of the tone in which Long Yun spoke, as if Nan Yin was easily manipulated by her. "What's wrong? I feel like you're thinking of something bad." Long Yun suddenly raised an eyebrow, looking at the young girl with snow-white hair menacingly. "No... I'm not." Nan Yin hastened to shake her head and deny it. Could she actually deny it? Looking at Long Yun's current demeanor, if she had really noticed what Nan Yin was just thinking, she might have punished her on the spot. Long Yun didn't seem to care whether Nan Yin had said something bad about her. Without a word, she led Nan Yin into the interior of the island. As they walked, the interior of the island seemed to have minimal development, except for a gravel path that stretched from the depths of the forest to the beach, with wooden street lamps on the side of the road. It was unclear what powered these street lamps. Either way, in the slightly dim forest, the lamps flickered with a faint light, adding an artistic touch to the surroundings. "What you do in situations of uncertainty will determine the path you walk. In the next moment, as Nan Yin took various turns, she saw an Eastern-style castle nestled within the rainforest. The sunlight filtering through the rainforest leaves fell upon the entire castle, making it look exquisitely beautiful. "This is my own hidden realm. It's been a long time since I've been here." Before Nan Yin could finish asking, Long Yun explained. Finishing, Long Yun took a step forward towards the path leading up to the castle and turned back to the young girl with snow-white hair behind her. "Come in, everything has been prepared." The furnishings inside were no different from those seen in ancient TV dramas, so there wasn't much to say. However, Nan Yin did spot some modern fixtures, such as a television. Nan Yin couldn't help but find the LCD television quite out of place. She couldn't fathom Long Yun sitting there watching TV, perhaps even snacking on some melon seeds... That was even harder to imagine. Perhaps sensing Nan Yin's doubt, Long Yun glanced at the television and shook her head lightly. "That was brought here by Di Xin when he visited. I've never used it." Nan Yin: "Oh, it's from Di Xin." Huh? Wait, how could Di Xin have come here? After all, this was clearly Long Yun's private domain. Oh... Halfway through, Nan Yin dared not continue thinking, as rumors outside were already suggesting that Long Yun and the God Emperor Di Xin's relationship was quite unusual. It seemed true after all. Suddenly, just as Nan Yin got lost in thought, Long Yun in front seemed to sense something and turned back, staring at Nan Yin doubtfully. This made Nan Yin immediately shrivel her neck — she couldn't help it. Even though she was a strong-willed person, she couldn't stand up to Long Yun's stronger will. "It seems like you're thinking something bad?" Long Yun furrowed her brows. Nan Yin could never admit it. She hurriedly shook her head, but then she heard Long Yun explaining, seemingly lost in herself, "You don't need to misunderstand or feel jealous. This hidden realm was actually bestowed upon me by Di Xin. There's nothing as intimate between us as you may think." Nan Yin: "Oh..." Huh? But wait, didn't Long Yun just say she was jealous? Why would she be jealous? Nan Yin was momentarily perplexed, but she had no time to dwell on it because Long Yun, who had stopped in front of her, turned around. When Nan Yin came back to her senses and raised her head, she realized they had unconsciously arrived on the second floor of the castle. Before Nan Yin, there was only a long corridor. On either side of the corridor seemed to be many rooms, but Long Yun didn't introduce the purpose of these rooms. She led Nan Yin straight to a door at the end of the corridor and pushed it open. Curiously, Nan Yin looked inside and laid eyes on a bed that exuded an ancient charm. Apart from the bed, the room had no other furnishings. "Um... what's this place?" Nan Yin asked curiously. Did Long Yun want to sleep? If not, why did she bring her to a place with only a bed? "I told you, everything has been prepared." Long Yun said and then paused, and something miraculous happened. A crimson magic circle appeared beneath Long Yun's feet and gradually spread throughout the room. "We'll cultivate here." Long Yun's tone conveyed an irrefutable determination. Despite this, Nan Yin couldn't help but ask, "Cultivation is fine, but there's only one bed here?" "Of course, there's only one bed." Long Yun's gaze was odd, as if she was puzzled by Nan Yin's question. "Double cultivation naturally requires only one bed." "Take off your clothes."
