I, Qin Muye, Am Truly Too Twisted!

The next morning.

The first thing Bai Yuji did upon waking was to check her clothes for any signs of tampering. After confirming that no one had touched her, she hurried to check the gap in the door, and only when she saw the strand of hair she had wedged there still in place did she let out a soft sigh of relief.

In truth, given her cultivation level, she would have easily sensed even a third-rank Grandmaster approaching in her sleep; there was no need for such nervousness.

It was just that Qin Muye had left her traumatized by his constant groping.

Although she suspected Qin Muye did it deliberately to prevent her from keeping him under close surveillance, she could not rule out the possibility that he was truly driven by lechery.

She knew well that even if a man's body failed him, his lust would not vanish; it might even become twisted due to his physical impotence.

The eunuchs in the palace were just as fond of women, often torturing them until they were covered in wounds.

Qin Muye might well possess such potential.

Until he was cured, it was best to minimize physical contact with him.

Bai Yuji exhaled softly, washed up, and stepped out of the room.

The moment she stepped outside, she saw Qin Muye standing in the courtyard, practicing a stance.

With a crane-like form and tiger-like claws, his crane-beak and tiger-claws were aimed toward the rising sun. His Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian and Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder meridian formed a straight line, continuously drawing the morning's spiritual energy into his body.

Bai Yuji had never seen this type of stance training before, but she could tell at a glance that it was meant to replenish Yang energy.

The technique was somewhat profound, and she feared it was not easy to master.

Qin Muye was in extreme agony, his entire body trembling incessantly as sweat poured down him in sheets.

Qin Yanying stood nearby holding a bowl of medicine, her eyes rimmed with red. Seeing that Qin Muye was about to collapse, she shouted, "Hold on, Muye! The men of the Qin Family can endure any hardship!"

Qin Muye looked as if he were about to cry, yet he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Seeing Bai Yuji approach, Qin Yanying quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile. "Yuji! Are you settling in well?"

Bai Yuji nodded obediently. "Thank you, Aunt, I am."

Qin Yanying pulled her over to sit down affectionately and lowered her voice. "Don't blame Muye. His body is truly severely damaged; he has to rely on rare treasures and this stance training every day just to hang onto his life. But don't worry, the boy has grit. Sooner or later, he will..."

Bai Yuji felt even more convinced that Qin Muye was psychologically twisted.

However, a sliver of admiration also stirred in her heart. There were truly few young men in this world capable of such things, and it was no wonder that everyone in the Yi-Expelling Army revered him as their Young General.

It was just a pity...

She nodded with a smile. "Aunt, I believe in him! Besides, my master said that his condition might not be incurable."

Qin Yanying's eyes lit up. "Truly?"

"Naturally, truly!"

"That—that is wonderful! Yuji, you really are the lucky star of our Qin Family!"

Qin Yanying was so excited she didn't know what to do with her hands. This was no mere flattery; Qin Muye had been on the verge of giving up before, unable to hold the stance for nearly this long.

Now, with a young lover with a large chest and wide hips dangling in front of him, his training time had actually increased.

Not only that, but she had also brought a divine physician.

If this wasn't a lucky star, what was?

She gripped Bai Yuji's hand tightly. "Yuji, when will your master be able to come?"

Bai Yuji thought for a moment. "Once she catches the villains or loses their trail, she should come to find me!"

Qin Yanying slapped her own forehead, excited. "Right! If your master can capture the villains, wouldn't that mean she can drag the mastermind behind the scenes into the light?"

Bai Yuji: "..."

She was stunned.

She hadn't expected anyone in this world to be so slow-witted.

It had been so long, and she was only just realizing this now?

Had she been so preoccupied with joy upon finding her nephew yesterday?

"Thud!"

A dull sound echoed from afar.

The two looked toward the noise and saw Qin Muye lying on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for air.

Qin Yanying didn't ask any more questions and hurried over with the medicine bowl. "Muye!"

As a young girl who had just fallen into the web of love, Bai Yuji could not fall behind and quickly followed.

To her surprise, Qin Muye didn't take the medicine bowl first; instead, he immediately grabbed her slender hand and kissed the back of it.

He promised with great fervor, "Yuji, believe me, my body will definitely recover!"

Bai Yuji: "..."

You take every opportunity to kiss me, don't you?

Qin Yanying laughed and scolded, "You brat, drink your medicine first. Just now, Yuji said her master has a way to cure you, ensuring you can be a loving little couple with Yuji in the future!"

"Sigh!"

Qin Muye picked up the medicine bowl, pinched his nose, and gulped it down in one go.

He couldn't stand the feeling of being weak and obese; he needed to lose the weight first, at least, so he could look handsome enough to win over Bai Yuji.

That little vixen was a bizarre villain, obsessed with his bloodline.

It made it impossible for him to use his cheats.

If he could just add some points to his physique, losing weight would be ten times easier.

The medicine hit his tongue, so bitter it made him roll his eyes. He collapsed onto the floor, dry-heaving for a long time, though thankfully he managed to keep it down.

Just then, Chen Sui walked over quickly, saying with pleasant surprise, "Niece-in-law, when will your master arrive? He has crossed paths with the scoundrels who abducted Muye; perhaps he can identify their style."

Qin Yanying knitted her brows. "Who is your niece-in-law? Chen Sui, show some respect."

Hearing Chen Sui also call her niece-in-law, Bai Yuji breathed a sigh of relief. Once her "master" arrived in the capital to complete the ruse, she would be cleared of suspicion for the time being. Come to think of it, Qin Muye had performed a great service; that little rascal acted so naturally. Otherwise, fooling a top-tier hound like Chen Sui wouldn't have been easy.

She smiled. "Uncle-in-law! My master has always doted on me; he should be arriving in the capital before long."

"Excellent, excellent!"

Chen Sui beamed, his face crinkling like a blooming chrysanthemum; he was clearly very pleased with the title "Uncle-in-law."

Qin Yanying kept a straight face. "Why are you here so early in the morning? Is the case closed? Have you caught the culprit?"

Chen Sui gave a sheepish laugh. "No need to be so impatient! I've already interrogated the relevant people once; there's nothing suspicious for now. They're under house arrest, so they can't run. Last night, we combed through the checkpoints that might have been compromised, and we actually found a few issues. We've already used every interrogation method on those guys; even if we can't drag out the mastermind, we can at least cut off one of their arms."

Qin Yanying looked dissatisfied. "The one he wanted to harm was Muye, the entire Qin Family. What is the point of just cutting off one arm?"

Chen Sui quickly added, "I've always been conservative in my speech. Once the niece-in-law's master arrives and we get more information, I will definitely make that person wish they were dead!"

Qin Muye chimed in with a smile, "Aunt! Uncle-in-law isn't the type to brag; you have to trust him!"

"See! My nephew speaks the truth!"

Chen Sui was overjoyed; his nephew had never been so proactive in helping him before.

Qin Muye took the opportunity to say, "By the way, Uncle-in-law, I slept very well last night. When I woke up this morning, I seemed to recall something related to that bastard Shen Jin, but I might need to see him to be sure. Do you have time? If you do, take your men, and let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion together?"

Chen Sui was in a good mood and didn't suspect a thing, nodding repeatedly. "Good! Good! We'll head out in a bit, but wait a moment—I have something to discuss with your aunt."

With that, he tried to pull Qin Yanying away.

Qin Yanying looked reluctant, but she eventually gave in, half-resisting and half-complying.

Qin Muye sighed. "The romance of middle-aged people..."

"You..."

Bai Yuji looked at him with some confusion.

Qin Muye asked, "What about me?"

Bai Yuji's gaze held a hint of scrutiny. "I thought you would drag your feet and try to stall me, but I didn't expect you to be so proactive about the gu-refining process."

She had been harboring this doubt for a while.

Although she had successfully coerced Qin Muye, she remained on guard.

Because Qin Muye's compliance was unexpectedly smooth—he had even stood in his training stance until he nearly fainted today.

She knew that the more he cooperated, the faster Qin Kaijiang would die.

It was hard not to suspect that he had some countermeasure up his sleeve.

She stared at Qin Muye's face, trying to find something different in his expression.

Suddenly, Qin Muye grabbed her wrist, his facial muscles twisting, his voice filled with repressed grief and indignation. "Why does everyone think my sacrifice is a matter of course? Don't ask about my affairs. You focus on the treatment, I'll focus on cooperating, and when it's all over, take my child and get out of my life!"

Bai Yuji: "!!!"

She had previously thought the rumors about Qin Muye's twisted personality were false.

Now, it seemed...

He really was twisted!
