Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

What she saw was astonishing; the words and images within the scroll seemed to possess a mysterious magic, drawing her gaze. Upon closer reading, she was delighted to discover that it contained an ancient spell, said to be able to probe the secrets hidden deep within the human heart.

Shen Ying's heart stirred, thinking: If I can use this spell to test Qingyu Immortal Lord, maybe I can resolve my doubts and give the mission some direction.

But as soon as she thought about it, she started to worry again: Qingyu Immortal Lord is so powerful, what if he finds out, then we'll be in big trouble! Thinking about this, Shen Ying couldn't help but shudder, her heart filled with anxiety.

Just as Shen Ying was struggling with her thoughts, Immortal Lord Qingyu suddenly appeared behind her and gently patted her shoulder: "What are you looking at so intently?" Shen Ying was startled and almost dropped the book in her hand, hurriedly hiding it behind her back.

Immortal Lord Qingyu smiled slightly: "Don't panic, what can't you tell me?" Shen Ying composed herself and smiled stiffly: "Haha, it's just some things that girls like, I'm embarrassed to show them to you."

Finally, Shen Ying decided to gamble on this opportunity. With the game time ticking away, she couldn't just sit and wait to die. Knowing that casting this ancient spell on Immortal Lord Qingyu would be no easy task, she meticulously studied the ancient texts, examining every detail carefully. She concluded that the conditions for casting this spell were indeed very demanding.

First, one must gather the fairy herbs that are still wet with dew on the morning of a full moon night.

Secondly, containers made from the trunks of century-old sycamore trees are used to collect the spiritual spring water flowing down from the mountaintop.

Furthermore, the spells must be cast in a mysterious underground cave in the forbidden area behind the sect's mountain, where a special mist permeates the area year-round, enhancing the spells' effects.

In addition, one needs to obtain the inner core of an ancient divine beast and integrate it into the immortal herbs and spiritual spring water.

Shen Ying thought, fortunately, the timing of her arrival in this game world was good, there was still enough time before the next full moon, but! She could find immortal herbs, spiritual spring water, and underground caves with her own abilities, but where was she going to find the inner core of an ancient divine beast?

"What are you thinking about?"

Just as she was struggling with this, a voice suddenly rang in her ears. She subconsciously replied, "Thinking about where to find the inner core of an ancient divine beast..." As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ying suddenly felt something was wrong, as if she had realized something. Her expression froze, her body trembled violently, and then she quickly turned around.

Immortal Lord Qingyu stood behind her with a gentle expression, his refined and otherworldly face bearing a warm smile like a spring breeze.

"You want this?"

Before Shen Ying could figure out how to fool the other party, Qingyu Immortal Lord had already gracefully taken out a bead from his storage bag.

The bead was about the size of a fist, round and smooth, and emitted a faint blue light, with purple electric sparks flickering within the light.

Its surface is covered with fine and mysterious patterns, like ancient runes.

Upon closer inspection, these patterns are still slowly flowing, as if they possess a life of their own.

Upon closer inspection, one can sense a powerful and pure energy emanating from the inner core, inspiring both awe and longing. The light flickers, as if the inner core possesses its own breath and heartbeat.

"Is this the inner core of an ancient divine beast?" Shen Ying asked, staring intently at the bead in Qingyu Immortal Lord's hand, disregarding everything else.

"Well, it's not of much use to me. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Immortal Lord Qingyu said casually, without asking why, and just handed over the ancient divine beast's inner core that countless people dreamed of and flocked to.

Giving it to someone like Shen Ying, who lacks talent, is simply a waste of her potential.

After all, the inner core of an ancient divine beast contains extremely powerful and pure energy, which is impossible for someone like Shen Ying, who lacks aptitude, to withstand and absorb.

Even if I gave it to her, she could only display it as a collectible.

Shen Ying took it tremblingly. It was warm to the touch. She felt both excited and guilty. She was excited that she could now use magic, but guilty that she was going to use this magic on the Immortal Lord.

But then I thought, if she had succeeded in her mission, then Immortal Lord Qingyu would not have betrayed the Qingyun Sect, and would not have been defeated by the protagonist and fallen from grace.

Under the cover of night, Shen Ying quietly went out. She carefully avoided the sect's patrolling disciples and arrived at the edge of the cliff where immortal herbs grew.

The cliff was so steep and precipitous that it terrified her, but for the sake of her mission and to survive, she mustered her courage and slowly climbed down.

After much effort, she finally managed to pick the fairy herb covered in dew, thanks in large part to the original owner's skills.

Then, she hurried to the top of the mountain to find the sacred spring. The water in the sacred spring flowed very rapidly, and if one was not careful, one could be swept off the cliff.

Shen Ying took a deep breath, seized the opportunity, and successfully collected the spiritual spring water using a container made from a century-old paulownia tree.

After everything was prepared, Shen Ying waited for the full moon night and returned to her sect.

Shen Ying deliberately mentioned to Immortal Lord Qingyu that she had discovered a strange place in the forbidden area behind the sect's mountain. Immortal Lord Qingyu, without suspicion, followed her there on the night of the full moon.

That was exactly the underground cave that Shen Ying needed.

After entering the cave, Immortal Lord Qingyu observed the surrounding environment.

Taking advantage of Qingyu Immortal Lord's inattention, Shen Ying quickly followed the steps of the spell to fuse the immortal herbs, spiritual spring water, and inner core together, chanting ancient incantations.

A mysterious light flashed, and the spell was successfully cast on Immortal Lord Qingyu.

Shen Ying looked at the Immortal Lord Qingyu who was standing motionless in front of her. She slowly stepped forward and finally stopped in front of him. She tentatively asked, "Immortal Lord? Immortal Lord? Can you hear me?"

Immortal Lord Qingyu just stared at her with a bewildered look, his eyes seemingly shrouded in layers of mist.

Shen Ying tentatively asked, "Immortal Lord, do you have any grievances against the Qingyun Sect?"

The bewildered Qingyu Immortal Lord gently shook his head: "No."

Seeing that it was effective, Shen Ying quickly asked again, "Then are you connected with the Blood Fiend of the Netherworld Valley?"

Immortal Lord Qingyu denied it again.

Shen Ying then asked, "Do you have some secret in your heart?"

Immortal Lord Qingyu suddenly stopped cooperating. He didn't answer Shen Ying's question, but just quietly looked at her.

Shen Ying was a little anxious because spells have a time limit, and Qingyu Immortal Lord's cultivation was profound, so this spell wouldn't last long.

She unconsciously took another step forward, but before she could react, Qingyu Immortal Lord suddenly pulled her into his arms and then leaned down to kiss her.

Shen Ying's eyes widened instantly, her mind went blank, and she was completely at a loss.

She tried to struggle, but Qingyu Xianjun's embrace held her tightly like an iron hoop, making her unable to move.

At this moment, the mysterious mist in the cave seemed to thicken even more, enveloping the two of them tightly, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them...

Afterwards, Shen Ying was filled with remorse and couldn't help but complain in her heart, "What kind of broken ancient magic is this? It's so unreliable!" She frowned, falling into deep self-doubt, and muttered to herself, "Could it be that my magic is not good enough, which is why I made such a blunder?"

Thinking of this, Shen Ying felt filled with guilt towards the now-awakened Immortal Lord Qingyu. Not only had she failed to ask him why he would betray the sect, but she had also made such a huge blunder! Immortal Lord Qingyu was an innocent and ethereal figure, yet she had taken advantage of him; it was truly a sin.

From then on, every time Shen Ying saw Qingyu Immortal Lord, she felt ashamed and unable to lift her head. The guilt followed her like a shadow, making it hard for her to breathe.

After that incident, she always felt particularly awkward, keeping her eyes down and not daring to meet Qingyu Immortal Lord's gaze. Even if it was just a fleeting glance, she would immediately turn her head away.

However, to Shen Ying's secret relief, after that day, Immortal Lord Qingyu regained his senses and seemed to have forgotten what had happened before. He remained as aloof and detached as ever, and his attitude towards her was no different.
