Chereads / Seven Deadly Sins System / Chapter 21 - Almost Caught in the Act

Chapter 21 - Almost Caught in the Act

The morning sun passed through the window and fell into Chu Wuyao's closed eyes, waking her up.

Rubbing her eyes, Chu Wuyao looked around and saw Ruan Yi's peaceful sleeping face right next to hers.

Unconsciously, she stretched out of her hand, pushed her bangs aside and kissed her gently on the forehead.

In her sleep, Ruan Yi showed a happy smile on her face and hugged Chu Wuyao's body tightly with both hands.

Chu Wuyao didn't shake her hands off and hugged her back, while she felt the condition of her body.

Compared to yesterday, most of her injuries had healed with just a night's rest, while Chu Wuyao judged that the rest of them would take 2 or 3 more days of recuperation to heal completely.

This is the result of practicing body cultivation coupled with the effect of Blood Demon Body's High-Speed Recovery.

"Unfortunately, there are also some bad news.", Chu Wuyao whispered and brought up yesterday's system prompts.

[You had an "in-depth communication" with Ruan Yi. Sin Points +10]

Seeing this, her face couldn't help but darken.

"In my first 'fight' with Ruan Yi, I got 50 Sin Points. In the second I got 15 and now, I only got 10 Sin Points."

"Is this because I can't get Sin Points by doing the same action repeatedly in a short period of time, or is it a permanent decrease?"

She couldn't help but worry.

If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, the difficulty of getting Sin Points was even higher than imagined.

Her plan, which was to stay in the sect and practice with Ruan Yi might have to be changed.

With a thought of her mind, Chu Wuyao brought up the system panel, wanting to see her information.

[Name: Chu Wuyao]

[Cultivation: 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation(4/40)]

[Techniques: Original Desire Sutra(2/100), Blood Demon Body -4(1/40)

[Skills: Charm(9/10), Fog of Hallucination - 3(1/30), Illusion Eyes(9/10), Heart Seal - 2(0/20), High-Speed Recovery(2/10)]

[Status: Injured(3/10)]

(Note: You can't improve your cultivation or skills while in an injured state.)

[Sin Points: 49]

As expected, just waiting a night for her injuries to heal naturally had already saved her 3 Sin Points.

This seemed to be a small amount, but in the long run, it could be huge.

Her eyes fell at the [Status] column and she wondered whether to use Sin Points to heal herself or not.

Suddenly, a knocking sound interrupted her thinking.

"Knock! Knock!"

The sound was not too loud, but it was just enough to wake Ruan Yi up.

Ruan Yi raised her head and saw the naked Chu Wuyao and recalled what happened yesterday.

Her eyes wandered around as her cheeks became slightly flushed.

"Knock! Knock!"

The sound of knocking came once again, waking her up from her stupor.

Instantly, she became a little anxious.

"There should be no one coming to my house this early in the morning."

"The only person who would do something like that is senior sister Li."

"What should we do?", she whispered in a panicked voice and looked around the room, trying to find a place for Chu Wuyao to hide.

Then, her eyes shone brilliantly and she pointed at a closet in the corner of the room.

"Go, go hide inside!", she anxiously pushed Chu Wuyao off the bed and into the closet.

"Hey, why does this scene feel somewhat familiar?", Chu Wuyao couldn't help but mutter, but still followed her instructions.

She had no intention of meeting Li Ruoshi currently.

Seeing her getting in, Ruan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, opened a drawer and took a dress out, then put it on.

After fixing her messy hair and the rest of her appearance, Ruan Yi walked to the door and opened it.

Unsurprisingly, the person who came was Li Ruoshi.

But at this time, Li Ruoshi didn't seem to be as strong as she was during the chase yesterday.

Instead, her blue dress was torn in several places, revealing her smooth white skin, and there were various wounds all over her body.

Especially on one of her arms, the wound was so deep that even the bones could be faintly seen.

Even then, Li Ruoshi still had an indifferent expression and exuded a calm aura that unconsciously infected her surroundings.

"Good morning.", she nodded her head in greeting and walked into the house.

But the moment she stepped inside, her indifferent expression changed for the first time.

Her eyes looked around and she found that the various furniture inside the house were in ruins, as pieces of torn clothes were everywhere on the ground.

The floor and the bed were covered in a strange, sticky liquid, which caused her to almost slip and fall on the ground.

Her nose slightly twitched, as a weird smell assaulted her.

In a hurry, she stepped back outside and looked at Ruan Yi with a weird expression.

Facing her gaze, Ruan Yi remembered the situation inside the room and became embarrassed.

She wanted to defend herself, but Li Ruoshi didn't give her any time and shook her head her head.

Her eyes showed some sadness and she spoke up.

"I've already told you that you should try to find a partner to satisfy your needs."

"Look at you now, you're almost destroying your own house just to satisfy yourself."

"After all, we are an evil sect that focuses on dual cultivation. Getting a partner should be very easy."

Her eyes showed a trace of pity as she looked at Ruan Yi and patted her gently on the shoulder.

Her expression, coupled with the words that came out of her mouth, seemed to consider Ruan Yi as a pervert who was unable suppress her carnal desires.

Ruan Yi wanted to say something, but thinking that Chu Wuyao was still inside her closet, she felt that it might be better for Li Ruoshi to think so.

"Don't worry senior sister. I'll try to find someone. It won't happen again", she nodded her head with a heavy expression.

"Why did you come here so early?", she then tried to change the topic of discussion.

Hearing her words, Li Ruoshi's face turned back to indifferent and was reminded of the reason she came here for.

"I want you to let the disciples of the Outer Area search for clues about this woman.", she said and took a painting out of her space ring.

Ruan Yi looked at the painting and saw a very familiar person.

It was a beautiful young woman, with white hair and gray eyes.

She was smiling slightly, but her smile didn't seem happy or polite, but a little chaotic and crazy.

Who else could this woman be if not Chu Wuyao?

"Be careful. I believe that she might be a member of a huge organization."

"If you find her, don't try to take action and inform me instead."

"I'll take action and suppress her personally."

Li Ruoshi reminded and her eyes flashed with a murderous intent when looking at the painting of Chu Wuyao.

She thought that she had already taken her seriously enough and had even taken action personally to deal with her.

However, a mere new disciple was not only able to escape from her hands, but also directly caused her to suffer injures.

Thinking of the masked man yesterday and that strange red sword, her eyes showed a bit of fear.

She didn't expect that there was someone in the sect who could fight her with just the 7th Level of Qi Accumulation cultivation.

One had to know that not only was she a genius who could fight against people stronger than her, but also...

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

"I repeat, don't try to take action yourself. This woman is actually very dangerous.", she looked at Ruan Yi and said.

Li Ruoshi didn't believe that the masked man just happened to pass by and chose to save Chu Wuyao.

She had a hunch that this should be part of a bigger conspiracy!
