Chapter 272: The Yandere Demon Lord 26

“Mnn…”

Lin Tongyin slowly opened his eyes, pretending he had just regained consciousness.

His gaze looked slightly dazed.

The moment Tang Wan heard his voice, she immediately stepped forward anxiously.

“Tongtong, you’re awake?”

“How are you feeling?”

“Does it hurt anywhere?”

Looking at the worry in Tang Wan’s eyes, Lin Tongyin immediately put on a pitiful expression.

“Master… my whole body hurts…”

His expression practically screamed:

Master should hug me.

Tang Wan instantly looked distressed.

“You fractured many bones. You’ve also just finished soaking in the medicinal bath.”

“It’s normal for the pain to feel unbearable right now.”

“Just endure it for a couple more days.”

After speaking, she immediately took out the Crimson Blood Pill Qingfeng had given her.

“This is the Crimson Blood Pill.”

“Take it before sleeping tonight. It helps promote blood circulation and heal internal injuries. You’ll recover quickly.”

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin weakly nodded.

But from beginning to end, his gaze never once left Tang Wan’s face.

At the same time, a thought quietly surfaced in his heart again.

She truly wasn’t the original Tang Wan.

The real Tang Wan would never possess such clear, warm eyes.

…

After accepting the Crimson Blood Pill, Lin Tongyin deliberately put on a frightened, vulnerable expression.

“Thank you, Master.”

“This time, Disciple encountered an extremely terrifying evil beast.”

“I almost thought I would never return again…”

“Being able to see Master once more…”

“Master, you’re truly so good to me.”

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately reached out and gently rubbed his head.

Then she softly scolded him:

“It’s enough that you returned safely.”

“But next time, you’re absolutely not allowed to recklessly venture deeper like this again.”

Lin Tongyin obediently lowered his eyes.

“Disciple will remember Master’s teachings.”

Seeing how well-behaved he looked, Tang Wan’s heart softened instantly.

“Alright.”

“You’re seriously injured, so lie down and rest properly.”

“If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell Master immediately.”

“This disciple understands.”

“Mhm. Go to sleep.”

…

However, even after hearing this, Lin Tongyin still didn’t close his eyes immediately.

Instead, he looked at Tang Wan hesitantly.

Then, as if embarrassed, he softly asked:

“Then… can Master stay here and accompany Disciple?”

“Disciple is afraid of having nightmares…”

After speaking, his ears even turned slightly red, making him appear especially shy and vulnerable.

Tang Wan immediately replied without hesitation:

“Of course.”

“Master won’t go anywhere.”

Hearing this, Lin Tongyin finally closed his eyes with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Master…”

…

Three days later—

Originally, Lin Tongyin had intended to secretly worsen his own injuries so Tang Wan would continue taking care of him longer.

But after seeing Tang Wan personally stay beside him every night, continuously channeling spiritual energy into his body without properly resting herself—

He ultimately gave up on that plan.

Thus, his injuries recovered extremely quickly.

Seeing this, Tang Wan finally relaxed completely.

…

At the same time—

The grand inter-sect competition held once every three years across the cultivation world was finally about to begin.

In the original storyline, after recovering his memories and power, Lin Tongyin had immediately returned to the Demon Clan, slaughtered the Demon Lord who betrayed him back then, and then orchestrated a massive massacre during this immortal sect tournament.

Countless talented young cultivators of the Human Race had died there before they could fully mature, causing devastating losses to the righteous path.

However—

This time, after emerging from the secret realm, Lin Tongyin had simply stayed obediently in bed at the Changyun Sect without causing any trouble whatsoever.

Thus, Tang Wan naturally wasn’t worried about him doing anything dangerous.

What she didn’t know was—

The reason Lin Tongyin no longer cared about stirring chaos in the cultivation world…

Was because he had discovered something far more interesting.

That was—

Her.

Tang Wan.

As for ruling the world?

To Lin Tongyin, that had merely been a way to relieve boredom in the past.

But now?

Was Tang Wan not beautiful enough?

Not gentle enough?

Not fascinating enough?

Why would he waste time going around starting wars?

Compared to those meaningless things—

He would much rather stay beside Tang Wan.

Then wait patiently until he grew older…

Before swallowing her whole in one bite.
