Chapter 26: Soul Awakening (Part 1)

Lin Fan and Yin Miaoxue sat cross-legged, the silvery radiance of the heavenly dao divine weapon enveloping them both.

They closed their eyes, entering a state of deep meditation, and began to communicate with Yin Miaoxue's true self.

The world within their consciousness gradually manifested.

All around was a crystal-clear snowfield, the sky a hazy grey with soft snowflakes drifting down; the entire space exuded a beauty of loneliness and coldness.

The figures of Lin Fan and Yin Miaoxue appeared in this dream-like world.

At this moment, a completely different Yin Miaoxue appeared before them.

This Yin Miaoxue wore a gorgeous, fire-red dress, the hem adorned with golden tassels, her long hair as flamboyant as flames, and in her eyes, there was no cold arrogance, but rather an unconcealable defiance and wildness.

She stepped barefoot on the snow, completely indifferent to the cold, a cynical smile hanging on the corners of her lips.

"You have finally come."

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue raised an eyebrow slightly, sizing up the two standing in the snow, her gaze filled with sharpness and unruliness.

"What, are you surprised by my appearance?"

Lin Fan was stunned, finding it hard to believe the scene before him: "Is this… really you?"

Yin Miaoxue stood beside Lin Fan, a trace of shock and confusion appearing on her cold face: "I have absolutely no memory… of ever having such a personality."

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue laughed loudly, her voice carrying a hint of provocation: "What, afraid to face your true self? The you on the outside always pretends to be so cold and arrogant, keeping everyone at a distance, but deep down, don't you crave freedom and indulgence?"

Yin Miaoxue lowered her head slightly, her voice permeated with a hint of self-reflection:

"I do indeed focus solely on maintaining my cold and otherworldly image, ignoring, or perhaps deliberately suppressing, some other thoughts. But I do not believe there is anything wrong with this; this is my choice."

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue sneered, her eyes filled with a touch of mockery:

"Choice? Right now, your power is Sealed within me. If you want to achieve Awakening, you only have two options. Either accept me and acknowledge the desires you have suppressed, or defeat me and completely expel me."

Lin Fan, standing to the side, couldn't help but interject: "Even if she accepts you, so what? What else can you do?"

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue raised an eyebrow lightly, her smile carrying a hint of provocation:

"What else can I do? Naturally, I will do the things I have always wanted to do but were suppressed by her."

Lin Fan felt slightly puzzled and frowned, asking further: "The things you have always wanted to do?"

Before his voice had faded, the blue-and-white JK-uniform-wearing Yin Miaoxue was already blushing furiously, hurriedly turning her head away, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"Young Master, don't ask… What she wants to do, it couldn't be those unspeakable things. For example… for example, letting you and me do that…"

Lin Fan froze instantly, his expression stiff, his mouth twitching: "That? Which that?"

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue laughed heartily, her eyes full of wicked amusement and triumph: "Look at your reactions; it really is quite interesting. Don't be nervous; I just meant doing what I want. However, this 'self' is naturally a bit different from the 'me' bound by your rules."

The blue-and-white JK Yin Miaoxue was both ashamed and angry, glaring fiercely at the red-clothed Yin Miaoxue, her tone carrying a hint of determination:

"In any case, I will not let you run wild! Even if you are a part of me, you cannot make me abandon my principles!"

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue just smiled lightly and pointed at herself: "Your principles? Don't forget how much you crave indulgence in the dead of night when no one is around."

The red-clothed Yin Miaoxue smiled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation, and she pointed at herself:

"Your principles? Stop deceiving yourself. In those nights when no one knows, your desires have long been exposed. That hungry body, that lonely Soul—you know better than anyone how many unspeakable things you have done."

Lin Fan's heart jolted; he instantly understood the true method for Yin Miaoxue's Awakening.

Accepting the red-clothed Yin Miaoxue was impossible.

Changing into someone she didn't want to be for the sake of so-called power was impossible; Lin Fan would not let Yin Miaoxue do such a thing.

Lin Fan also wouldn't let Yin Miaoxue completely turn into an ice-cold beauty.

Although she was currently cold and otherworldly, she occasionally needed Lin Fan to fill her empty heart.

What Lin Fan had to do was the third option: take advantage of the red-clothed Yin Miaoxue being distracted to steal her power.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry," Lin Fan said in a low voice.

The two snapped out of their brief contemplation, and Lin Fan suddenly made his move, directly tackling Yin Miaoxue to the ground.

Yin Miaoxue was pinned to the ground; as she struggled slightly, her dress fluttered, revealing a section of her jade-white calf.

A hint of unexpected blush appeared on her incredibly beautiful face, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Her cold temperament was like the first snow of winter, carrying an inviolable purity, yet because of the struggle at this moment, it appeared a bit more delicate and moving.

She wore a JK uniform primarily in white and ice-blue, the tight-fitting cut outlining her exquisite figure perfectly.

A snow-white bowtie hung on her chest, setting off her slender collarbones.

Her short skirt swayed gently with her movements, the scenery beneath the hem visible intermittently, making it impossible to look away.

Ice-blue long stockings wrapped around her slender legs, adding a touch of moving softness to her cold temperament.

Although Lin Fan's movements were overbearing, he had no intention of hurting her.

Yin Miaoxue subconsciously raised her hands to push him away, her porcelain-delicate skin touching Lin Fan's warm chest, and the loneliness and longing in the depths of her heart were torn open.

An unprecedented joy surged into her heart; she couldn't help but sink into the emotions of this moment.

Her ice-blue long hair was scattered behind her like a light veil on the snowfield, setting off her incredibly beautiful face.

At this moment, beneath Yin Miaoxue's cold and otherworldly exterior, a trace of human vulnerability and longing was revealed, making her appear even more charming.

Lin Fan knew that to make Yin Miaoxue face her true self, he could not give her any chance to hesitate.

He leaned down, pressing close to her luscious red lips, his movements firm and overbearing.

Yin Miaoxue's pupils constricted slightly, her cold face stained with a blush of shame.

She struggled and turned her head away, her silvery-white hair sliding down with the movement, covering half of her incredibly beautiful face.

Her slender hands pressed against Lin Fan's chest, pushing hard, but she couldn't budge him even a fraction.

"Lin Fan, you—" Her words were pressed in her throat, her voice trembling, carrying unease and a trace of imperceptible anticipation.

Yin Miaoxue twisted her body forcefully, trying to break free from the restraint, her jade-white legs arching slightly, her skirt lifting gently with her movements, looking exceptionally messy yet alluring.

Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her ice-blue pupils shimmered with moisture.

Even though she was full of resistance, her struggles gradually became weak, and her arms became soft, falling to the side as if she had lost all strength, leaving only a final, faint trace of resistance.

"Mm…" Yin Miaoxue whispered softly, full of panic and helplessness.

Her hands tapped gently on Lin Fan's back, but there was no force in it, as if it were just a symbolic resistance.

Her eyelashes trembled, her ice-blue pupils covered by a layer of mist, revealing a touch of weakness and helplessness within her cold temperament.

Her slightly parted red lips were forcefully deprived of any room to breathe by Lin Fan.
