Chapter 30 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel

Chapter 30 Song Weizhi took a look at Zhao Xuankun and his two unfortunate fellow disciples, feeling a pang in her heart as she exchanged three healing pills from the system. Following this, the mechanical voice of the system chimed in, "Host exchanged three healing pills, consuming 30 points, leaving a current balance of 720 points." Song Weizhi handed the healing pills to Zhao Xuankun and his companions, saying, "Go ahead and take the medicine first." At this moment, Zhao Xuankun had slightly recovered and received the healing medicine from Song Weizhi, saying, "Thank you, Junior Sister Song." He then distributed the pills to his two fellow disciples. Song Zhixia's gaze alternated between Song Weizhi and Zhao Xuankun. For reasons unknown, her senior sister always seemed to be paying attention to others, leaving her feeling somewhat lost, especially when it came to Zhao Xuankun. As if noticing the young girl's dejection, Song Weizhi looked at Song Zhixia tenderly and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaxia? Did you get scared just now?" Shaking her head, Song Zhixia glanced at Zhao Xuankun, who had already stood up. In a determined manner, she wrapped her arms around Song Weizhi's slender waist, burying her head in Song Weizhi's embrace. Believing the girl was frightened, Song Weizhi quickly comforted her, "Be good, Xiaxia, don't be afraid. I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Unbeknownst to her, at that moment, the young girl in her embrace blushed, then lifted her head slightly to meet eyes with Zhao Xuankun beside her. Song Zhixia didn't retract her gaze but continued looking at Zhao Xuankun. In the end, it was Zhao Xuankun who first looked away. Zhao Xuankun and the other two disciples of the Zhao family had just taken the medicine Song Weizhi gave them. Although their pain had subsided, they felt awkward standing there, not knowing whether to leave or stay, especially as they watched Song Weizhi and her junior sister wrapped in each other's embrace. Zhao Xuankun couldn't help but cough tactically before speaking, "Um, Junior Sister Song, shall we leave this place first? Once we have found a safe location, the two of you can then embrace." It was then that Song Weizhi seemed to realize there were others around. She then reassured the young girl in her arms, "Xiaxia, be good. Let's take a look at our surroundings first. You can embrace your senior sister later, okay?" Zhao Xuankun, who stood nearby, was astonished. Was this the same decisive Song Weizhi from before? Why was she speaking so softly to her junior sister? Were they really just pure senior and junior sisters? Zhao Xuankun had his doubts. After Song Zhixia calmed down for a while in Song Weizhi's embrace and her face's temperature returned to normal, she lifted her head, too afraid to meet Song Weizhi's eyes as she said, "Senior Sister, I'm fine now. Let's go." With a gentle laugh, Song Weizhi ruffled Song Zhixia's soft hair and said, "Good, as long as Xiaxia is okay." With that, Song Weizhi held Song Zhixia's hand and followed behind Zhao Xuankun as they left. The area was vast, with intersecting passages. Song Weizhi warned Zhao Xuankun and the others, "Zhao Brother, the terrain here is complex. Let's not get separated." Zhao Xuankun nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, after Song Weizhi and the others left, Song Chaoyun took the opportunity to tend to his wounds. However, the object lodged deep in his knee was difficult to remove, so he simply tore a piece of cloth from his clothing to make a simple bandage before slowly moving forward. As they advanced, Song Weizhi and the group found the place increasingly unsettling. The air grew colder, and the caves began to show signs of shedding skin and scales, with viscous slime and a foul odor permeating the surroundings. One of the Zhao disciples in front was disconcerted by the sight and quietly asked Zhao Xuankun, "Senior Brother, this place is so disgusting. Could we have fallen into a snake's den?" "Stay quiet. Be careful not to attract anything untoward," Zhao Xuankun replied in a low voice. In the darkness of the cave, they could only vaguely see the blurry figures around them, unable to discern any immediate danger. Realizing this was not a sustainable situation, Song Weizhi exchanged a long-range flashlight and four long knives from the system. The mechanical voice of the system rang out once more, "The host spent a total of 40 points on item exchange, leaving a remaining balance of 680 points." Deciding it was a necessary expenditure, Song Weizhi distributed the items, first handing the flashlight to Song Zhixia and then providing the long knives to Zhao Xuankun and the others. Zhao Xuankun felt more confident with the long knife in hand. He might have been somewhat apprehensive earlier, despite leading the way, but he was adamant about not letting the girls take the forefront, even during hunts with fellow disciples. Expressing his gratitude to Song Weizhi, he said, "Junior Sister Song, thank you. If we have the chance to make it out alive, I owe you one." Agreeing with a nod, Song Weizhi replied, "Yes, there are plenty of strange creatures here. It's better to have something to defend ourselves with." While Song Weizhi and Zhao Xuankun were speaking, the young girl beside Song Weizhi started to appear more dejected. Now equipped with knives for defense and Song Weizhi's flashlight, the group's morale gradually picked up as they continued. However, as they ventured deeper into the cave, it grew damper, and the slime and scales from the cave ceiling began to string into long strands that descended. As they dodged these nauseating substances, they realized they were in a perilous environment. Suddenly, Song Weizhi thought she heard other people's voices in the cave. She discreetly called out to Zhao Xuankun and the others, "Zhao Brother, it sounds like there are people here." "Song Junior Sister, should we go over to meet them?" Zhao Xuankun asked. While it might be alright if they encountered other Song and Zhao family members, encountering members of the Tian family might pose more complications, especially since Song Weizhi had recently taken the lives of the Tian family's sect leader's son and daughter. "Let's forget it. Let's mind our own business," Song Weizhi decided that keeping the group small would minimize potential conflicts, if any. While Song Zhixia felt increasingly aggrieved, she knew the danger they faced and forced herself to remain silent. She feared that this incident might change Song Weizhi's view of Zhao Xuankun, leaving her unsure of what to do. With Song Weizhi's total attention focused on surveying the surroundings, she failed to notice the young girl's despondency. Instead, she grasped the girl's hand and continued forward. They had walked through numerous similar passages, but Song Weizhi's group finally encountered the others. Before Song Weizhi and her group could speak, someone else on the other side spoke first, "It's Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhao. They injured Big Senior Brother's leg. What should we do, Big Senior Brother?" Song Weizhi shone her flashlight towards the others and saw that they were all from the Song family, with one of them carrying Song Chaoyun on his back. She briefly illuminated Song Chaoyun's eyes with the light. Song Chaoyun was clearly terrified, blurting out, "Quick, hide, hide. There's something sinister on Song Weizhi. Whoever she targets with that dark tube will die." His alarmed exclamation caused the disciples to quickly back against the walls, leaving only a few scattered individuals standing in the middle of the passage. Song Weizhi couldn't help but chuckle. Was he really that cowardly? Some of the Song disciples expressed doubts, among them Xu Wenyuan and Liang Qin. "Senior Brother, I believe there must be a misunderstanding. Senior Sister wouldn't harm someone without reason," Xu Wenyuan said, looking at the others. "Um, I feel the same way," added Liang Qin, who still remembered when Song Zhixia and her companions helped during the incident with the giant spider. Song Yueling, who had some kinship with Song Ruhai, also chimed in, "You two idiots. Isn't Song from the Song family after all? Can't you see there's no spiritual power now? Why are you all afraid of that traitor, Song Weizhi?" "Ha, well said, Yueling. Once we're out of here, I'll make sure my father takes you as a direct disciple," Song Chaoyun joked from a fellow disciple's back. "In that case, I'll thank Big Senior Brother in advance," Song Yueling responded in a sycophantic tone, which seemed out of place in the passage. Song Weizhi was amused by their audacity. It was one thing to falsely accuse her; however, now they were already daydreaming about the future. With a snort, she retorted, "You fools. Let's see if you can make it out of here." "Senior Brother, please intercede for me," Song Yueling pleaded, cuddling up to Song Chaoyun. Forcing a smile, Song Chaoyun said, "Song Weizhi, don't go too far. Just now, there were only a few of us. You first poisoned the Tian family's sect leader's son and daughter, and now, do you want to target all the disciples of the Song family?" To be honest, Song Weizhi did consider it. Having unknown circumstances in the mystical realm, having a few more people would at least divert the attention of whatever was inside. "Too lazy to waste words on you, useless one. Do you two want to follow me?" Song Weizhi asked Xu Wenyuan and Liang Qin, who had just spoken up for her. The two exchanged glances and nodded. "As long as Senior Sister doesn't mind us, that's all we need," Xu Wenyuan replied, having had enough of Song Yueling's constant startles along the way. "I feel the same," added Liang Qin. From behind, Song Chaoyun's voice echoed, "Good. You two better not regret it. Leaving us here is the same as betraying the sect along with Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia." His words had little effect. Xu Wenyuan and Liang Qin happily ran to join Song Weizhi's side. Even though everyone had lost their spiritual power, they still felt it was more reliable to follow Senior Sister. At the very least, Senior Sister wouldn't abandon those around her and flee. "Betray the sect? To be honest, sooner or later, you'll be begging me, and I won't even want to stay in this lousy Song sect," Song Weizhi exchanged two more long knives for self-defense from the system. At this point, Song Weizhi's points were down to 660. Author's comments: Zhao Xuankun: Tsk tsk, the relationships between senior and junior sisters these days are quite something. Song Weizhi: It's just an ordinary pure senior and junior sister relationship. Song Zhixia: ????
