Chapter 16 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel

Chapter 16 Last time, Song Weizhi only touched Song Zhixia's right little ear, and she had been thinking about the left one that she hadn't touched. This time, she definitely wouldn't miss it. Song Weizhi reached out and "rua"ed Song Zhixia's left little ear, just as he had expected, it turned out to be so soft. Song Zhixia was stunned. She didn't expect Song Weizhi to be so smooth with his touch. Her fair skin visibly turned red at an alarming pace, like a startled little cat, she took a step back and touched the ear that Song Weizhi had just touched, complaining softly, "Senior Sister, why did you touch my ear again." Song Weizhi gazed at the shy Song Zhixia with a smile, playfully teasing her, "Look at our Zhixia, so cute, couldn't bear it. Is Zhixia really so petty that she won't let Senior Sister touch it?" Glancing at Song Weizhi, Song Zhixia's face was still flushed. She pursed her lips as if gathering courage and said, "If it's Senior Sister, then it's not impossible." After saying that, the blush on Song Zhixia's face deepened, and she dared not look at Song Weizhi again before running away. "Zhixia is so shy, so adorable," Song Weizhi looked at Song Zhixia's fleeing figure and chuckled. Realizing he had something to tell Song Zhixia, Song Weizhi followed her and gently knocked on her door, saying, "Zhixia, I forgot to tell you something. Don't worry, I won't tease you this time." After a while, Song Zhixia opened the door, the redness on her face had subsided a bit, but her little ears were still red, looking lusciously attractive. Song Weizhi was afraid of making Song Zhixia shy, so he immediately withdrew his gaze. "I came to tell you that the assessment for the outer disciples will be in a few days. After being promoted to the inner disciples, we can go to the Linlang Secret Realm to hunt for treasures with the other inner disciples. Zhixia, this is an opportunity for you to prove yourself. I believe in you," Song Weizhi gazed at Song Zhixia with gentle eyes. "Will Senior Sister also go to the secret realm?" Song Zhixia asked. She didn't care about being an inner disciple, but she didn't want to embarrass Senior Sister. She also wanted to become strong to protect Senior Sister. "Of course, I'll go with Zhixia," Song Weizhi kept his eyes on Song Zhixia, making her feel a little embarrassed. "In that case, I will work hard. I also want to stand by Senior Sister's side," Song Zhixia looked at Song Weizhi firmly and said. "Okay, I know. My lovely girl is the best," Song Weizhi said, unable to resist, and gently rubbed Song Zhixia's soft hair with his hand. This time, Song Zhixia didn't dodge, but a blush quickly returned to her cheeks. "Focus on your practice these few days, and when it's time for the assessment, prove to those narrow-minded people what you're capable of." Song Zhixia nodded obediently. She wanted to prove she wasn't useless. She still remembered the day in the martial arts arena. If it weren't for Senior Sister, she might not have survived. She wanted to become strong, to do something for Senior Sister. Back in her room, Song Zhixia once again recalled the skills of the Flame Sword in her mind. There were seven styles in total. Despite being extremely talented, Song Zhixia had only comprehended the first four styles of the Flame Sword. She couldn't figure out the remaining three no matter how much she thought about it. Bored, she summoned her spiritual beast, a fluffy little chicken, which blinked its big round eyes and rubbed its head against Song Zhixia's hand like a coquettish baby. Song Zhixia enjoyed the sight of the playful chicken and gently poked its head. "Are you at your leisure? Do you have any way to enhance your combat power, chick? What can you do?" The chicken looked up at Song Zhixia's face, then spat out three times, leaving a few water stains on the table. After that, it spat out a small flame the size of a fingernail. The chicken's eyes brightened as it took a few steps toward Song Zhixia, like a little baby seeking praise, staring at Song Zhixia. Song Zhixia sighed softly and gently praised the chicken's illusory head, "You're the best, and the little flame you spat out is so cute. Okay, you don't have to continue exhausting yourself." The chicken nodded, then rubbed Song Zhixia's finger before returning to her spiritual realm. As long as she worked a little harder, Song Zhixia believed that even if the chicken couldn't fight, she could protect it. Early the next day, when Song Zhixia arrived in the yard, Song Weizhi had been waiting at the stone table for a while. "Senior Sister?" Song Zhixia was puzzled. Senior Sister usually meditated in her room. Why was she in the yard so early today? "Well, I assume you've gained some insights into the Flame Sword these past days. However, there's still a big difference between practicing on your own and real combat. From today, I'll be your sparring partner," Song Weizhi was well aware of the strength-oriented world they lived in. Although there's a limit to sparring among disciples, it was required to sign an agreement before each match. Even if someone died in a match, it was only attributed to their own lack of skills. The female protagonist in the original book experienced numerous hardships, which made Song Weizhi cautious. Song Zhixia stood still, she didn't expect Senior Sister to be willing to spend so much time on her. Her heart was in turmoil for a moment. "Senior Sister, I…" "All right, you don't need to thank me. As long as it's helpful to you, I'm already happy," Song Weizhi smiled. "Let's get started. Don't hold back, I'm your opponent now. Show me your sword moves." With that, Song Weizhi had already drawn his sword, and Song Zhixia drew hers. "Then, I'll have to offend Senior Sister," Song Zhixia activated the first move of the Flame Sword, the Flame Severing Stab. Flames blazed on both sides of the blade as she swiftly thrust it toward Song Weizhi. Unfortunately, Song Weizhi only used a little spiritual power, and the flames were extinguished. Song Weizhi countered with a gentle thrust, without using much force, but it felt as heavy as a thousand catties to Song Zhixia, causing a sharp pain in her wrist. However, it was evident that Song Weizhi had not exerted much force with that strike. But even this only made Song Weizhi take a small step back. Afterwards, Song Weizhi counterattacked with a palm strike, causing Song Zhixia to be knocked into the corner of the wall, falling down and feeling sore all over, her spiritual energy completely depleted.
