Chapter 17 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel

Chapter 17 Song Zhi Xia didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably aggrieved. She knew that her senior sister was doing it for her own good and to make her stronger. Yet, despite knowing that, she couldn't help but well up with tears. Even though she rarely cried even when her adoptive parents used to hit her before, she didn't know what was wrong with her. Why did she become so prone to tears after meeting Song Wei Zhi? As soon as Song Wei Zhi saw Song Zhi Xia crying, she immediately became flustered. Did she just bully this pretty young girl? She had intended for Song Zhi Xia to use her full strength so she could improve. She hadn't meant to make the girl cry. Song Wei Zhi immediately rushed to Song Zhi Xia's side, helping her up and saying in a concerned tone, "Did I hurt you too much when I pushed you? I'm sorry, really sorry. Senior sister didn't mean it. Let me see where you got hurt. Does it still hurt?" When Song Wei Zhi didn't speak, it was okay, but as soon as she did, Song Zhi Xia's tears flowed even more. She hated herself for being so weak now. Senior sister was clearly doing it for her own good, yet she was crying and making senior sister worry. Song Zhi Xia just wanted to find a place to hide where no one was around. She put away the sword Song Wei Zhi had given her, turned to leave, but at the next moment, her wrist was grabbed and she fell into a warm embrace. The distinct, chilled breath that belonged to Song Wei Zhi enveloped Song Zhi Xia. Before she knew it, she was completely surrounded by it, and her senior sister's hand was gently caressing her back from time to time. "Zhi Xia, sweetheart, senior sister was too heavy-handed. Senior sister was wrong, shouldn't have been so harsh on my darling," murmured Song Wei Zhi as she embraced Song Zhi Xia tenderly, one hand encircling her slender waist, the other gently moving up from her waist, caressing the trembling earlobes. As Song Wei Zhi comforted her, Song Zhi Xia couldn't help but cry even more. She had never cried so much in her entire life. Crying was useless for her in the past because no one cared for her feelings. She gradually stopped crying. However, after meeting Song Wei Zhi, Song Zhi Xia finally felt like a piece of driftweed on the sea finding a place to rely on. She realized that the current her was not ignored. Instead, she cried sadly, longing for this warmth and even wishing Song Wei Zhi would comfort her more. After realizing her own thoughts, Song Zhi Xia was startled, but she still held onto Song Wei Zhi and refused to let go. Would she ever have the chance to be embraced like this by senior sister again? As Song Zhi Xia's emotions calmed down, she gradually noticed what Song Wei Zhi was saying as she was lost in her thoughts. She rested on senior sister's chest, sensing that senior sister was calling her "darling"? The visible blush crept up on Song Zhi Xia's skin, and even her earlobes, which Song Wei Zhi had been fondling, couldn't escape blushing more vividly under her touch. Of course, Song Zhi Xia also noticed that Song Wei Zhi was playing with her ear. She felt embarrassed to look at Song Wei Zhi and felt as if she would drown in her embrace. She discreetly tried to wriggle out of Song Wei Zhi's arms. Song Wei Zhi noticed and realized that the girl in her arms had cried enough and was now feeling embarrassed. But Song Wei Zhi had no intention of letting go of the girl so soon. She hadn't finished teasing her. She then tightened her arm around Song Zhi Xia's waist. Feeling her move closer, she stopped her playful actions. A faint smile curled up Song Wei Zhi's lips as she softly whispered in the girl's ear, "Darling, don't want senior sister to hold you? Where do you want to go?" Upon hearing the word "darling," Song Zhi Xia almost wanted to bury herself entirely in Song Wei Zhi's embrace. She felt too embarrassed to even lift her head. She regretted crying so much. How could she handle this? Senior sister was holding her too tightly and kept saying things that made her shy, and she couldn't break free. Discovered that the girl didn't resist, Song Wei Zhi tightened her arm around Song Zhi Xia's waist, bringing her even closer, and continued to stroke her face, then gently spoke, "It's okay, my darling can cry. I will always make her happy." Song Zhi Xia stared into Song Wei Zhi's smiling eyes and was momentarily stunned on the spot. When she snapped out of her daze, she suddenly felt light as she was already being held sideways in Song Wei Zhi's arms. Startled, she instinctively clung to Song Wei Zhi's neck. When she realized that senior sister was holding her, she quickly said, "Senior sister, I can walk. Please let me down." Smiling, Song Wei Zhi refused, "That won't do. I'm the reason my darling cried. I have to comfort her properly. If my darling won't let senior sister carry her back, that means she's still angry with senior sister." "I-I'm not angry, senior sister," Song Zhi Xia weakly replied, not daring to look at Song Wei Zhi's dazzling eyes; she merely rested her head on Song Wei Zhi's shoulder. Seeing that the girl in her arms did not object, Song Wei Zhi left the room, tucking the blushing girl in bed, and saying, "Zhi Xia, continue absorbing the spiritual energy as per my method this afternoon. We'll continue practicing techniques tomorrow. Okay, senior sister won't disturb you. I'll take my leave first." After Song Wei Zhi left the room, Song Zhi Xia suddenly remembered what had just happened and her heart began to race uncontrollably. Her fair skin turned red again, and she pulled the nearby blanket over her head. What to do? She felt too embarrassed. Would other girls who were close have the same kind of cuddling and petting as senior sister and she did? Song Zhi Xia had never had any friends since she was a child, and she didn't know how other girls interacted. Could it be that she was overthinking things? Would girls who were close behave as senior sister and she did? Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia forgot there was someone else forgotten in this small courtyard – Wei Zhao! Wei Zhao had been meditating since early morning. Song Ru Hai and the others had been quiet these past few days, giving her some free time. As a result, she heard everything about her mistress and that young woman. At first, it was a normal sparring match, but then the young woman cried, and the mistress pampered and hugged her. Although Wei Zhao had a straightforward personality, ever since she had been summoned by Song Wei Zhi, she had rapidly collected various information, including the fact that partners in this world of cultivators could be of the same or different sexes. Combining this with the way the mistress was calling the girl "darling", Wei Zhao concluded that the girl would be her mistress's partner in the future! She decided that she must respect the girl more in the future.
