Chapter 916 Sister, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go." Ximen Lie reminded Ximen Yinshuang immediately when he saw that she had digested the pill.
In the dark room, the candlelight flickered, and the dim light cast distorted shadows on the wall.
When Ximen Yinshuang heard her father's urging, a different light flashed in her eyes.
She raised her head slightly, her voice was a little soft, but also revealed a stubbornness that could not be refused:
"Dad, Mom, please wait for me at the door. I want to talk to my sister alone for a while. After all, my sister will be..."
She lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her pale cheeks, making her look pitiful.
However, no one saw the excitement flashing in her eyes - it was the cruel pleasure of a hunter about to enjoy his prey.
Ximen Lie frowned slightly and glanced at the unconscious Ji Lier.
After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, hurry up, don't kill her, this is your medicine."
Ximen Yinshuang nodded obediently, with a cute smile on her face: "I understand, Daddy."
That smile seemed a little eerie under the candlelight.
Ximen Lie and Sima Lan turned and walked out of the dark room. The stone door slowly closed with a dull sound.
The luminous pearls inlaid on the stone wall cast a dim green light, stretching Ximen Yinshuang's slender figure into a distorted shape.
She stood there without moving until she was sure that her parents' footsteps had completely disappeared at the end of the corridor. The originally pitiful face instantly lost all disguise.
"Heh..." A soft laugh escaped her lips.
There was a vicious look in the corners of her eyes and brows as she walked step by step towards Ji Lier who was lying on the bed.
"Sister, sister," she stopped in front of the bed and looked down at Ji Lier, "I know you can hear me."
"You heard everything, didn't you? Daddy wants to dig out your heart, and Mommy wants to use your blood to make medicine for me... You are so pitiful, my dear sister.
Ximen Yinshuang's slender fingers gently stroked the cold edge of the bed, her eyes filled with a sinister smile.
Ji Lier's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she still didn't open her eyes.
She felt cold fingers pinch her chin and forced her head up.
The magical grass in the corner of the stone room moved without wind, and the edges of its leaves emitted a barely visible blue light.
"What a beautiful face." Ximen Yinshuang's nails dug deep into the other's skin, leaving crescent-shaped red marks on the pale skin.
She suddenly chuckled, her laughter as crisp and sharp as the sound of broken ice.
"It's a pity that after noon tomorrow, this face will turn into a deathly gray, just like your short-lived mother."
"Do you think your father really valued your talent when you were a child?" Ximen Yinshuang's nails dug deep into the skin of Ji Li'er's cheek. "He just needed your pure yin body to mature enough to be used as medicine."
She loosened her grip, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and wiped her fingers slowly and methodically.
"Every time I draw blood, I ask Mammy to use more force. It's really pleasing to see you shaking in pain but trying hard not to cry."
Her voice was as soft as a whisper, yet chillingly cold.
"Do you think you are so great just because you have a pure Yin body? In my eyes, you are just a piece of trash that can be manipulated at will."
"For so many years, you have enjoyed the attention of the public, but what about me? I can only watch you enjoy the glory from the corner. Now, it is finally my turn."
There was a crazy light flashing in Ximen Yinshuang's eyes, and a hint of success appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she was immersed in the coming power and glory.
"Do you know how excited I was when I learned that you have a pure Yin body?"
Ximen Yinshuang continued to speak, her voice echoing in the dark room, sounding particularly eerie.
"I finally have a chance to get rid of this damn weak body and become the most powerful person in the world."
"And you are my opportunity." She leaned close to Ji Lier's ear and her breath was as sharp as the tongue of a poisonous snake.
"Tomorrow at noon, your heart will be cut out and used as my medicine. Your pure yin body will also be absorbed by me. By then, the entire Yueya Continent will tremble at my feet."
“Hahahaha…” Ximen Yinshuang straightened up and laughed out loud with his head raised.
The laughter echoed in the dark room, making people feel creepy.
Amid Ximen Yinshuang's crazy laughter, Ji Lier's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.
However, Ximen Yinshuang, who was immersed in her own fantasy, did not notice it.
Ji Lier gradually regained consciousness.
She heard every word Ximen Yinshuang said, and the pain and despair in her heart became more intense.
She could never have imagined that her own sister would harbor such deep hatred for her.
"Why..." Ji Lier cried in her heart, "Why do you treat me like this..."
Her tears welled up in her eyes but couldn't flow out.
Her body seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move.
After a while, Ximen Yinshuang had laughed enough.
She lowered her head and looked at Ji Lier, the viciousness in her eyes becoming more and more obvious.
"You must hate me now, right? Unfortunately, you have no chance to resist." Ximen Yinshuang's mouth curled up with a cruel arc.
"After tomorrow, you will completely disappear from this world, and everything you have will belong to me. You are just a stepping stone for me to reach the top."
As she spoke, she clenched her fists, as if she had already seen the moment when she would stand at the top.
She suddenly ripped open Ximen Li's collar, revealing the faint blue bell-shaped mark below the collarbone - that was the symbol of a pure yin body, which was emitting a faint fluorescence at this moment.
"How beautiful..." Ximen Yinshuang caressed the Linghua mark obsessively, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes, "After tomorrow, this will be mine. And you..."
She leaned over and whispered in Ximen Li's ear, "You will become a hollowed-out shell, not even qualified to be buried in the ancestral tomb."
The girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ximen Yinshuang's face close to her in her blurry vision.
That face looked somewhat similar to hers, but looked particularly pale due to years of illness.
"Awake?" Ximen Yinshuang's voice was as gentle as a feather brushing against her ear, but it made Ji Lier shiver all over. "I thought Sister would pretend to sleep until noon tomorrow."
Her sister's ferocious face was reflected in her ink-black pupils, and Ji Lier felt a chill running up her spine.
She tried to struggle, but found that her limbs were bound by invisible spiritual chains, and she couldn't even move her fingertips.
"Don't waste your energy." Ximen Yinshuang looked down at her, eyes full of sneer, "You were hit by the 'Soul Locking Powder'. Even a spiritual master can't break free, let alone a loser like you?"
In the corner, the petals of the orchid swayed without wind.
Su Chenyin’s spiritual consciousness was fixed on this scene, and anger was boiling in his heart.
"Sister, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?" Ximen Yinshuang looked at Ji Lier's pale face admiringly.
Even though her face had been disguised in some way, her cheeks were indeed much more beautiful than Ximen Yinshuang's, not to mention her real appearance.
