Chapter 50 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel
Chapter 50 Wei Zhao Xin really didn't know who was bullying whom. If she had known saving someone would be so difficult, she wouldn't have trusted the stories in the book! The whole incident started with the appearance of the black barrier gate in the desert. Wei Zhao Xin was overjoyed to see the gate. She had been worried about Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia, and she longed to rush over to see them. However, Zhou Qing Xue's voice emerged from her arms, and she realized she had to deal with this troublesome "big cabbage." "Can you take me with you? This is my first time venturing out alone. My family has always pampered me like a child. I don't want to return in defeat. It's embarrassing," Zhou Qing Xue said, her eyes reddened, tugging at Wei Zhao Xin's clothes. The tension between them was gone. Wei Zhao Xin found it somewhat awkward. She grumbled, "Fine, it's such a hassle. I shouldn't have read those stories. They are all lies." So Wei Zhao Xin squatted down in front of Zhou Qing Xue, hoisted the young lady on her back. But before she had taken ten steps, the young lady already had a complaint. "Ah, Wei Zhao Xin, your back is so hard, all bones and uncomfortable. It's also painful around my legs," Zhou Qing Xue stated from Wei Zhao Xin's back. "What should I do then? Should I just carry you instead?" Wei Zhao Xin asked exasperatedly. Interfering was indeed troublesome. "Could you, um, carry me? It's less uncomfortable that way," Zhou Qing Xue said, feeling a bit embarrassed, as she was not used to being carried by others. Wei Zhao Xin took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Qing Xue disdainfully, and didn't bother to say anything. She simply carried her and rushed towards the barrier, which resulted in the scene they had just caused. Upon hearing her brother's stern tone, Zhou Qing Xue hastened to explain, "It's not what you think, brother. Wei Zhao Xin helped me in the secret realm. I was originally there to help those disciples, but my spiritual power was depleted. Those disciples no longer cared about me, and it was Wei Zhao Xin who helped me get here safely." Although Zhou Cheng Wen glared at the disciples Zhou Qing Xue mentioned, he still felt something was off. Even if his sister's spiritual power was depleted, Wei Zhao Xin didn't need to carry her in such an intimate manner. It was surely his sister's naivety! Wei Zhao Xin took advantage of her! "Qing Xue, did Wei Zhao Xin voluntarily carry you like that? Let me tell you, she didn't have good intentions," Zhou Cheng Wen was on the verge of exploding. His sister had been pampered since childhood, and now she had been taken advantage of! Watching from afar as Wei Zhao Xin chatted with Song Wei Zhi, Zhou Qing Xue mumbled under her breath, disgruntled, "I don't exchange many words with her, but she can talk with her just fine, can't she? Who cares! I’m not going to bother about such things." Although she claimed not to care, her eyes occasionally shifted towards Wei Zhao Xin and Song Wei Zhi's direction. This drew Zhou Cheng Wen's attention, fueling his irritation. He only had one sister, and he had to take several deep breaths to calm himself down. After assisting Zhou Qing Xue in resting under a tree and having her consume some spirit-restoring pills, he sat down beside her, noticing that her gaze was fixed on Wei Zhao Xin. Wei Zhao Xin, free from the nuisance of Zhou Qing Xue, was content and immediately sat down next to Song Wei Zhi, recounting the incident in the secret realm. Seeing Wei Zhao Xin conversing with Song Wei Zhi in the distance, Zhou Qing Xue muttered under her breath, "She barely speaks to me, but she can chat with her just fine? Tch, who cares. I'm not going to mind such matters." Despite verbalizing her disinterest, her eyes wandered towards Wei Zhao Xin and Song Wei Zhi's direction from time to time. Naturally, Zhou Cheng Wen followed suit and glanced at Wei Zhao Xin, growing increasingly angry. His sister’s visit to the secret realm had turned into someone else's show! Song Wei Zhi was astonished. She felt she was already broad-minded enough, but her family's bodyguard was more straightforward than her. She looked at Wei Zhao Xin with an expression that was hard to decipher, fulfilling her duty to protect her family's little girl. Feeling bored, Wei Zhao Xin decided to rest on the spot, waiting for Song Zhi Xia and Zhao Xuan Kun to wake up. After a considerable amount of time, Song Zhi Xia slowly regained consciousness. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Song Wei Zhi. She gently tugged at Song Wei Zhi's sleeve and said, "Senior Sister, I've recovered thirty percent of my spiritual power." Song Wei Zhi embraced the junior sister in her arms and said softly, "Good, there's no rush. I checked the rankings, and we have four positions in the top ten. You three should rest." As Song Wei Zhi spoke, the junior sister leaned closer to her and murmured softly, "Senior Sister, I miss you, Xia Xia misses you." The corners of Song Wei Zhi's lips lifted slightly, "I miss Xia Xia too. It seems we won't need to be apart for the rest of the secret realm." As she said this, Song Wei Zhi pinched the junior sister's hand, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the girl's rosy lips. She felt an urge to kiss the junior sister. Meanwhile, in the main hall, Zhou Ye Ran and a few elders all had different expressions. First, they witnessed Zhou Qing Xue and Wei Zhao Xin's intimate display, which already infuriated Zhou Ye Ran. Now, Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia had openly embraced each other. Of course, those inside the secret realm were unaware of this. Zhou Cheng Wen handed the spirit fruit-made dessert to his sister, but she showed no interest, turned to look at Wei Zhao Xin across the room, then suddenly stood up and strode towards her. Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia watched as Zhou Qing Xue approached, seemingly with murderous eyes. They saw her nonchalantly offer the dessert to Wei Zhao Xin. "Icy, this is for you. Thank you for helping me just now." "What? It's fine; I'm not fond of sweets..." Before Wei Zhao Xin could finish speaking, she felt a light pinch at her waist. Puzzled, she glanced around, only to realize that her master was pinching her. Realizing that her master might want the dessert, she swallowed the words about not liking sweets, reached out, and took the dessert, saying, "Thank you then, I’ll accept it." Upon hearing Wei Zhao Xin's words of gratitude, Zhou Qing Xue's lips involuntarily rose, but she acted as if she didn't care. She waved her hand, then quickly returned to sit next to Zhou Cheng Wen without noticing her brother's odd expression, her gaze fixed on Wei Zhao Xin. Wei Zhao Xin took off the cloth covering the dessert and reached out to give it to Song Wei Zhi. "Master, did you want this when you pinched me just now? I was about to refuse as I'm not keen on sweets." Song Wei Zhi was at a loss, but the junior sister burst into laughter. Song Wei Zhi felt like somebody was watching their group from across the room. She looked at Zhou Qing Xue with what seemed to be hostile eyes. Song Wei Zhi immediately handed the dessert back to Wei Zhao Xin, saying solemnly, "This was specially given to you by Miss Zhou. Have it yourself, and don't waste Miss Zhou's kind gesture. We won't have any of it." If they were to have the dessert, Zhou Qing Xue would undoubtedly be furious. Wei Zhao Xin looked at the dessert and then her master. Understanding her master’s words, she decided not to waste the food. She obediently took the dessert and began to eat it alone. Seeing Wei Zhao Xin eating the dessert, Zhou Qing Xue's frozen expression softened slightly. She thought to herself, "What a stubborn ice cube. If it's given to you, just eat it yourself. Didn't you see Song Wei Zhi embracing another girl in her arms? Why are you still trying to suck up to her? You're so oblivious—why didn’t you treat me better just now!" Zhou Qing Xue was so absorbed in observing Wei Zhao Xin that she didn’t pay attention when her brother spoke to her, which irritated Zhou Cheng Wen. Besides, the fruit dessert was made by their mother! He had not even eaten it yet, and she had given it all away! It exasperated him. He felt that this trip to the secret realm had fallen short. However, the peaceful atmosphere in the realm was disturbed after a while as dark clouds gathered in the sky. Zhou Cheng Wen frowned slightly, instinctively protecting his sister behind him. Observing the clouds, Song Wei Zhi reached out and felt the junior sister's pulse and sensed the churn of spiritual energy in her, "Xia Xia, it seems you're about to form the golden core." Song Wei Zhi's words left the junior sister dumbfounded. Was she about to form the core? But she only had thirty percent of her spiritual power. Zhao Xuan Kun and Wei Zhao Xin also rushed over, frantic upon hearing that Song Zhi Xia was about to form the core. Zhao Xuan Kun immediately retrieved all the talismans that helped him overcome the tribulation. "These are for you, Shizhu. They should help you through the first tribulation." Seeing that neither Song Wei Zhi nor Song Zhi Xia reached for the talismans, Zhao Xuan Kun grew anxious, “It's already this late, and Shizhu hasn't fully recovered yet. She won't be able to withstand three tribulations alone. You two have experienced life and death together. At this moment, don't refuse." Song Wei Zhi nodded and took the talismans, "Thank you for these." She then placed the talismans around Song Zhi Xia, "Don't be afraid, these talismans will help you endure the first tribulation. The rest remains the same, each of us will handle half." SongZhi Xia, her eyes red with tears, shook her head, "No, I'll face this alone. I don't want senior sister to get hurt." Song Wei Zhi smiled and gently ruffled the junior sister's hair, "I’m not that easy to hurt. Xia Xia, didn’t you forget my cultivation? Don't worry; just trust me." As she spoke, Song Wei Zhi's Convergence Sword had materialized, and she stood by Song Zhi Xia's side, not leaving her for an instant. Wei Zhao Xin, seeing her master standing there, knew that she intended to shield her junior partner from the tribulation. She ran over, declaring, "Master, I can assist in facing one of the tribulations too." With a smile at her bodyguard, Song Wei Zhi gently waved her hand, placing Wei Zhao Xin next to Zhou Qing Xue, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Although Song Wei Zhi's voice was not loud, everyone present could clearly hear her words: "You stay by Miss Zhou's side, and do not come over."
