Chapter 103: Betrayal
Warning: This chapter should be read after the next chapter, [The Meaning of Twilight, Original Desire Soul].
The order of these chapters is messed up because of a mistake with Inkstone and I can't delete them because I'm afraid that some readers may be confused and buy the same chapter twice.

Chu Wuyao was busy practicing, when the arrival of a visitor suddenly woke her up.
Feeling that the strength of her soul had improved and her perception had become more acute, Chu Wuyao was quite satisfied.
The Original Desire Soul skill deserved to be the accompanying skill of the Original Desire Sutra and its power was evident.
After she jumped up, she warned Cthulhu to be quiet and then climbed up the staircase.
Before long, she pushed the door of her residence open, only to find a young man standing behind it.
Chu Wuyao wasn't surprised by his arrival, as she had already noticed his presence.
She sized the young man up and combed through her memories, but she found that she didn't know him at all.
This made her a little curious.
After all, she had just become an inner disciple and apart from Zhao Peng, she didn't know anyone else in the Inner Area.
While Chu Wuyao was in thought, the young man spoke up first.
"Junior sister, congratulations on your breakthrough and becoming an inner disciple.", he said and smiled slightly.
"I'm Lu Yuan, you can come to ask me for help if you need anything in the future.", Lu Yuan introduced himself.
Seeing his friendly attitude, Chu Wuyao wouldn't offend other people for no reason, so she introduced herself too.
Still, she couldn't find the man's purpose for coming here.
Noticing her doubts, Lu Yuan didn't keep it a secret.
"Junior sister, I heard that when you were in the Outer Area, you had a conflict with junior sister Yue because of her brother."
When Chu Wuyao heard these words, she originally thought that Lu Yuan was planning to try mediate the conflict between them, but his next words surprised her.
"Since junior sister Yue made the mistake to offend you, you can made your own choice on her fate.", Lu Yuan said and he took out a white card before giving it to Chu Wuyao.
Before Chu Wuyao could ask, Lu Yuan had already started explaining.
"This card is actually a Soul Card, a special Magic Weapon made by the elders of the Original Desire Sect." Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"I believe that you already know that as long as a disciple has enough contribution points, they can 'pay' to make other disciples their servants."
"When you do, you'll be gifted this Soul Card."
Saying this, Lu Yuan pointed at a beautiful blue-haired figure painted on both sides of the white card.
"Inside this card is part of junior sister Yue's soul. As long as a person holds it, even if they are mortals, they will be able to wipe out her soul with just a thought."
"Moreover, this card can also be used to store the real body of your servants in it."
Lu Yuan patiently explained everything about the Soul Card and his tone was very casual.
Yet, if anyone were to actually listen to his words, they would find that they were filled with cruelty and an obvious indifference towards life.
Only in an evil sect would the disciples dare to talk so casually about enslaving other people and controlling their souls.
"Since you've just broken through, you must be very busy at the moment, so I won't waste your time any longer."
After Lu Yuan gave her a few more reminders, he didn't stay any longer and said goodbye.
It's as if he had come only to establish a good relationship with Chu Wuyao by giving her a "gift".
When Chu Wuyao confirmed that Lu Yuan was truly gone, she stepped back in and closed the door.
The moment she closed it, a slight smile appeared on her face as she played with the Soul Card in her hand.
"It seems that the Inner Area is way more interesting than the Outer Area...", she whispered to herself.
Although it hadn't been long since Chu Wuyao became an inner disciple and her interactions with other people were very few, she had somewhat understood that the atmosphere of the Inner Area was quite strange.
In her eyes, if the Outer Area was a jungle where the strong preyed on the weak, then the Inner Area was a jungle where many beasts were silently looking at each other, not willing to offend each other at all.
This didn't mean that there were no fights between inner disciples.
It only meant that the fights were way more cruel.
Even though Lu Yuan looked very friendly, Chu Wuyao knew that this was because the two of them didn't have any conflict of interest.
She was sure that if he ever discovered that she was a threat to him, he would do everything in his power to wipe her out.

When Yue Zhilan regained her consciousness, her body couldn't help but tremble unconsciously and recalled what had just happened.
Just before she fell asleep, she mentioned Chu Wuyao to Lu Yuan and insinuated that he should take action against her.
However, to her surprise, not only did the always gentle Lu Yuan refuse to help her, but after she left, he used his contribution points to make her a servant.
Yue Zhilan could still remember that strange white card sucking her soul and her physical body in.
"No! It's impossible! How could senior brother Lu do something like that?", Yue Zhilan shook her head and felt that she must have had a nightmare.
Slowly, she opened her eyes, hoping that she would meet the familiar ceiling of her residence.
Unfortunately, as Yue Zhilan looked around, her face turned pale.
At the moment, she was completely naked, laying on top of a table with metal chains binding her four limbs.
Right next to her stood a beautiful white-haired woman, who she instantly recognized as her mortal enemy, Chu Wuyao.
If that wasn't already bad enough, Yue Zhilan noticed a familiar white card in Chu Wuyao's hand, a card that contained a part of her soul.
This meant that Chu Wuyao could wipe her soul out with just a thought!
Countless thoughts passed through Yue Zhilan's mind and she finally understood what had happened.
Her spare tire, Lu Yuan, had actually betrayed her!
"You...", she looked at Chu Wuyao and opened her mouth to say something, when she found that Chu Wuyao was staring blatantly at her naked chest.
At any other time, Yue Zhilan would have scolded her, but in the current situation, she could only swallow her angry words.
Glancing at her fully naked body, the chains that bound her limbs, as well as Chu Wuyao's intense gaze, Yue Zhilan thought that she understood what was going on.
"I heard before that there are some people who enjoy things like this."
"Is this some part of Chu Wuyao's twisted fantasy?", she thought secretly.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct.
After all, she knew very well how powerful her charm was.
Whether they were men or women, most people would be inexplicably attracted to her.
This made her breath a sigh of relief.
In order to ensure her survival, she wouldn't hesitate to suffer humiliation and do some unimaginable things!
Thinking of this, she raised her head "timidly" and looked at Chu Wuyao.
"Mistress... Please punish me...You can do anything you want to me...", Yue Zhilan spoke in a submissive voice and her eyes became a little moist, wanting to please Chu Wuyao.
When Chu Wuyao heard her words, she recovered from her stupor and it was only now that she realized that Yue Zhilan had woken up.
However, she didn't respond, but stared at Yue Zhilan's proud chest.
Stretching her right hand, she put it on Yue Zhilan's left breast and gently traced it with her fingers, caressing it.
Just when Yue Zhilan felt that her guess was indeed correct and had become happy, Chu Wuyao's movements suddenly changed.
The nails on her hand shone with a sharp light and the next moment, they pierced through Yue Zhilan's chest, cutting it open.
Before Yue Zhilan could react, Chu Wuyao's hand had reached her heart and a drop of golden blood flowed out of her index finger, flying towards the beating heart.
The moment this drop of blood fell on it, Yue Zhilan felt the beating of her heart becoming violent, while the blood around it shone with a golden hue, as if it was being assimilated by this drop of blood.
Her whole body shook, as she felt that the blood in her body was being devoured by a rampaging, hungry beast.
"AAgh!", Yue Zhilan couldn't help but scream from the pain and she hurriedly tried to break free.
Unfortunately, with her cultivation sealed, she was unable to break the metal chains that bound her limbs.
Soon, the loud screams of Yue Zhilan came from the underground room.
