Chapter 78 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel

Chapter 78 Yao Xintong buried her head deeply into Feng Yiliu's neck, greedily inhaling the scent that belonged only to her shijie. She even wanted to kiss her in the next moment but refrained herself, fearing that it would startle Feng Yiliu. In the evening, the room was left with only Yao Xintong and Feng Yiliu. Yao Xintong had changed into clean inner garments while Feng Yiliu was bathing behind the screen. The corners of Yao Xintong's lips curled slightly. Shijie was, after all, still shijie. Even if she didn't remember herself, she would still agree to any request Yao Xintong made. After finishing her bath, Feng Yiliu walked out to see Yao Xintong lying on the bed with a smile in her eyes. Her heart tightened at the sight. She didn't know why she let someone she had just met sleep with her. She felt her heart beating heavily. She smiled at Yao Xintong. Then, she extinguished the candle and lay on the outer side of the bed. After a short while, a soft body slipped into her embrace. "Miss Feng, I remember the incident from earlier today and it makes me a bit scared. Can you hold me while I sleep? If it's inconvenient, it's okay," a tender voice came from her embrace. Feng Yiliu's lips unconsciously curled up. She really liked holding Yao Xintong, but she was afraid of being presumptuous. Now, she could openly hold her. "It's okay. I will hold you. In the future, just call me Yiliu. It feels a bit strange being called Miss Feng all the time. How about I call you Xintong?" she said. Of course, Yao Xintong hoped that Feng Yiliu would be close to her. She promptly replied, "Of course, that would be great. Thank you, Yiliu." "Not a problem at all," Feng Yiliu smiled. The fatigue from the past few days caught up with him, and he fell asleep quickly. Yao Xintong, however, remained awake, gazing affectionately at the person holding her. Once she was sure Feng Yiliu was deeply asleep, she gently traced his contours with one hand and lightly placed her index finger on his forehead, infusing a bit of her spiritual power to dispel his fatigue and let him sleep more soundly. Her fingertip moved over Feng Yiliu's forehead, nose, and finally rested on his lips. She carefully caressed Shijie's lips and then leaned in, lightly touching Feng Yiliu's lips with her own, fearing to wake him. Feeling somewhat unwilling to withdraw her lips, she buried her face in Feng Yiliu's embrace, enveloped by his scent. Her eyes were slightly reddened, waiting for him for eighteen years. The next morning, when Feng Yiliu woke up, he saw Yao Xintong buried in his embrace like a little cat, snuggling against his neck. As he moved slightly, Yao Xintong nuzzled her face in his embrace, looking adorable with creased eyebrows. Feng Yiliu held her like this and observed her for a while before feeling it might not be appropriate to keep staring at her like this. But still, he couldn't resist looking at Yao Xintong. After some time, Yao Xintong slowly woke up and met Feng Yiliu's smiling eyes. She also smiled, "Good morning, Yiliu. Did I press against you too hard?" she said, attempting to get up, but Feng Yiliu held her body in his arms, looking at her with a gentle smile. Feng Yiliu's ears reddened. "No, you're so light that you won't press against me," she replied, uncertain whether to let go of Yao Xintong's hand or continue holding it. Amused by her behavior, Yao Xintong smiled and said, "We'll have to travel again soon — shouldn't Yiliu get up and freshen up?" Feng Yiliu snapped out of it, feeling like she had behaved like a foolish young girl. When the group finally boarded the carriage and settled in, Feng Yiliu still found herself missing the feeling of Yao Xintong snuggled against her from the previous day. Xiao Lu, on the other hand, rolled her eyes from time to time, wondering if her miss looks so attractive that someone would want to take her soul away. After enduring the journey, the caravan finally returned to the vicinity of Qin City at midday. After getting off the carriage, Feng Yiliu couldn't help but feel somewhat reluctant. "Xintong, where does your family reside? Can I come and visit you?" "Of course, it's located not far away at the Yao Residence. You can come over, and I'll make some snacks for you," Yao Xintong said with a smile. "Great, I'll definitely visit. Shall I accompany you back?" Feng Yiliu asked. "No need. You just got back; it's better for you to go home and rest first," Yao Xintong said in a gentle tone. "Alright, Xintong, I'll come to see you when I'm free tomorrow," Feng Yiliu said, standing in front of her own door with reluctance. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you," Yao Xintong replied softly. No matter how long it took, she would wait for her. "Miss, why are you still standing here?" Xiao Lu's voice came from the front. Feng Yiliu smiled at Yao Xintong before turning to walk towards her own escort agency. In this life, Feng Yiliu's parents were very affectionate towards her and didn't confine her to learn embroidery and other female duties. Instead, from a young age, they taught her martial arts and she often accompanied the guards on escort missions since she was sixteen. "Yiliu, did you encounter any danger on the way this time?" her father asked, looking concerned. Xiao Lu chimed in before Feng Yiliu had a chance to respond, "Of course, she was almost bewitched by a fox spirit and her soul was almost taken away." "Xiao Lu, what nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Yiliu stopped Xiao Lu from speaking further and explained, "I encountered a girl on the road who had been robbed by bandits, so I helped her out." Only then did her father feel reassured. In the past few days, Feng Yiliu had been busy with inventory at the escort agency, so she didn't get a chance to visit. But her mind always drifted back to Yao Xintong. Finally, she managed to find some time to visit Yao Xintong. She gently knocked on the door of Yao Xintong's residence, only to be greeted by a stern-looking woman in black attire. The woman stared at her for a while, making Feng Yiliu feel stiff. "Miss, it's our first meeting. Do you recognize me?" she asked. The black-clad woman shook her head and stepped aside to let Feng Yiliu in, leaving her with an odd sensation. As she entered the courtyard, she noticed two beautiful women chatting intimately inside. One of them was Yao Xintong. The smile that had formed on Feng Yiliu's lips slowly slipped away, and she felt a tinge of discomfort. Yao Xintong raised her eyes and spotted Feng Yiliu approaching. She hurriedly greeted her, "Yiliu, you're here. I thought you were busy these days, so I didn't come to see you. Come in and have a seat." Feng Yiliu followed Yao Xintong into the hall and looked at the two unfamiliar people. Yao Xintong introduced them, "This is my good friend, Wei Zhao, and the other one is Zhou Qing Xue. They came from out of town to visit me." Feng Yiliu nodded at the two of them. Zhou Qing Xue softly tugged at Wei Zhao's sleeve and whispered, "It's just like before." Wei Zhao grabbed Zhou Qing Xue's hand and nodded. From the small kitchen, Yao Xintong brought out a variety of delicate pastries. "These are all from my own hands. Have a taste, Yiliu," she said. Feng Yiliu nodded. The treats indeed looked exquisite. She chatted and laughed with Yao Xintong while Zhou Qing Xue sat down and immediately slouched against Wei Zhao as if she had no bones, refusing to fetch the snacks herself. Instead, she insisted that Wei Zhao feed her. Wei Zhao, who had seemed expressionless with Feng Yiliu earlier, now gazed at the person snuggling against her with indulgent eyes. "Qing Xue, didn't you say we were going to buy something in the street?" Yao Xintong gestured with her eyes to her daughter. It was better to have these two leave first, as her shijie had come to see her after a long time. Zhou Qing Xue immediately understood her mother's signal and tugged at Wei Zhao's sleeve. "Oh right, I almost forgot. Let's go," she said. Naturally, Wei Zhao followed Zhou Qing Xue. After they left, Yao Xintong spoke, "These old friends of mine can be quite rowdy." Feng Yiliu shook her head and said, "It's okay, they're rather adorable." "Speaking of which, have you missed me these days? I've been looking forward to you coming to see me," Yao Xintong smiled. Feng Yiliu's heart quickened with Yao Xintong's words. "I have. We've only known each other for two days, but I feel very close to you," she said. "Me too. By the way, my two friends are fond of each other. Just like a regular couple. Would that bother you, Yiliu?" Yao Xintong asked. Feng Yiliu almost choked on her tea and was taken aback by Yao Xintong's words. Although she had been brought up unrestrained from a young age, she hadn't expected women to like each other romantically. Feng Yiliu asked uncertainly, "But can women like each other in that way?" Yao Xintong smiled and said, "Sometimes, love transcends all boundaries. What's the difference between two women? As long as two people love each other and are content, it's enough." It was the first time Feng Yiliu had heard such words, but she found them reasonable. As long as two people love each other, what difference did it make whether they were men or women? For a moment, Feng Yiliu's complexion turned slightly red. Yao Xintong's words proved that she was open to the affection between women. Feng Yiliu's mind buzzed. She felt as if the answer was about to come, but she was both eager and afraid. "Xintong's words make sense. I am just not knowledgeable enough," Feng Yiliu hurriedly ate some pastries to calm herself down. "So, Yiliu, will you spend the night here? I haven't been sleeping well these days. I think it's more comfortable when you hold me like that," Yao Xintong proposed with a smile, oblivious to the inconsistency in her choice of words. Feng Yiliu blushed intensely. On one hand, she felt flustered at the effect of Yao Xintong's suggestion. On the other hand, she remembered Yao Xintong's earlier comment about the affection between women. Unable to help herself, she replied, "Okay, my duties at the escort agency are all completed." After a while, Zhou Qing Xue and Wei Zhao returned from their outing. Zhou Qing Xue was worried that Feng Yiliu might notice, so she specifically bought several boxes of rouge and powder back. This time, Feng Yiliu's gaze occasionally glanced at the two of them, and her expression seemed hesitant, leaving both of them confused. In the evening, Yao Xintong went to the kitchen to cook. Although she said she was cooking, she was actually using some celestial magic, leaving Feng Yiliu and the others staring at each other in the quiet room. Fortunately, after a short while, Yao Xintong returned. They had dinner together, and later, Wei Zhao and Zhou Qing Xue retired to their own rooms, leaving Feng Yiliu and Yao Xintong in quiet solitude. Yao Xintong could sense Feng Yiliu's uneasiness. She spoke first, "Let's go back to the room." After the two of them finished freshening up and lay down, with the lights extinguished, the room became quiet. Compared to the night they had met, Feng Yiliu's heart was beating unexpectedly fast. Yao Xintong gently nestled into Feng Yiliu's embrace. Sensing Feng Yiliu's nervousness, she smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?" "No, I'm just..." Feng Yiliu was at a loss for words. Yao Xintong paid no mind to it and, remembering the first time Feng Yiliu had kissed her without her knowledge, she leaned slightly closer. A warm breath lightly brushed against Feng Yiliu's cheek. Her lips gently pressed against Feng Yiliu's, and she kissed slowly, just like the first time Feng Yiliu had kissed her. Yao Xintong's lips gently caressed Feng Yiliu's before slowly delving deeper. At first, Feng Yiliu was startled by Yao Xintong's action, but she felt a strangely familiar feeling between them. Moreover, she began to realize she enjoyed the intimacy with Yao Xintong. Involuntarily responding, she gained the initiative. When they parted, Yao Xintong was breathless, even more so than Feng Yiliu. "Yiliu, do you like this?" Yao Xintong buried her head into Feng Yiliu's neck and asked after a slight nuzzle. "I do. You may not believe it, but though we've only known each other for a few days, I find myself thinking of you whenever I have a moment of calm. It turns out, I've already found a place for you in my heart." Feng Yiliu hugged Yao Xintong tightly. As dawn approached, Yao Xintong was already awake. Even though the person she had longed to see was sleeping next to her, she felt it was not enough. Despite her intense emotions, Yao Xintong sighed and retrieved a sketchbook from her storage bag. After a while, Feng Yiliu also woke up. Upon awakening, she felt a soft touch on her lips from Yao Xintong's gentle kiss. Feng Yiliu's throat felt itchy, feeling that this gentle touch was not enough, but she was afraid Yao Xintong might think she was being too impulsive and so did not dare to embrace her and kiss her back. However, Yao Xintong naturally leaned on Feng Yiliu's embrace while handing her a sketchbook. She spoke lightly, "Let's look at this together." Feng Yiliu was confused as to why she needed to look at this right after waking up. With doubts in her mind, Feng Yiliu simply opened the sketchbook. However, the sight that met her eyes made her widen them in shock. The images depicted in the drawings showed two women embracing, clothing partially disheveled, and the depiction grew increasingly stimulating as they turned the pages. When the last page was reached, the women's clothing had become nearly nonexistent, and the images had become more explicit. Blushing furiously, Feng Yiliu closed the book with a slap and looked at Yao Xintong with confusion. The latter simply smiled and allowed her to continue flipping through the book. As the pages increased, the clothing of the women in the images became even scantier. Feng Yiliu looked at Yao Xintong bewilderedly. The latter simply smiled and responded, "I thought you could learn from this." Saying this, the shoulder straps of Yao Xintong's inner garment slid down from her shoulders. Likewise, the straps of Feng Yiliu's inner garment had been undone at some point. When Feng Yiliu returned to the escort agency, it was already in the afternoon. She had not returned the previous night. "Where did Yiliu go?" her father asked with curiosity, as Feng Yiliu did not have many close friends in the past. Xiao Lu promptly answered, "She must have gone to find that little fox spirit! Ever since she met her, she's completely captivated." Feng Yiliu did not refute this. As soon as someone mentioned Yao Xintong, a smile appeared on her lips. She truly seemed to have been captivated by Yao Xintong. Initially, she did not want to return home, but thinking about it, she felt it would be better to inform her parents and then move in with Yao Xintong for some time. Her parents initially disapproved of Feng Yiliu moving out, as she was their well-behaved daughter, but they eventually relented after Xiao Lu accompanied her. Together, they can finally have peace of mind. The two of them were almost always together. Initially, Xiao Lu had thought that her miss had been enchanted by a little fox spirit, but then, when Xiao Lu accidentally witnessed Feng Yiliu kissing Yao Xintong, she was shocked and speechless. Every time she saw the two together, she became flustered. Finally, when Yao Xintong was not around, Xiao Lu asked her in confusion, "Miss, did you kiss her the other day?" Feng Yiliu replied earnestly, "Yes. She is the woman I love." Feng Yiliu's words stunned Xiao Lu, who stammered, "But... what about Master and Madam?" "I will talk to them. Both Yao Xintong and I are serious. I will only be with her." Feng Yiliu told her parents about her relationship with Yao Xintong. Naturally, they did not support it, so Feng Yiliu moved out. Nevertheless, she would occasionally visit her parents for a brief period. Later, she even brought Yao Xintong, and gradually, her parents became less resistant to Yao Xintong. Eventually, they were able to be together. However, time seemed to have forgotten Yao Xintong and left no mark on her, while Feng Yiliu's head gradually began to show signs of graying. Feng Yiliu always said with a smile that Yao Xintong was favored by heaven. This year, Feng Yiliu turned thirty-five. Yao Xintong lay beside her, eyes closed. "Yiliu, do you believe in reincarnation?" she asked. Feng Yiliu smiled and replied, "If you believe it, I believe it too." "Good. Let me tell you a story. In a place far from Qin City, there was a sect of cultivating immortality where two women, sisters of the sect, gradually fell in love with each other after many years of company. However, the sect suddenly underwent a change. Due to certain reasons, the two had to separate. When they met again, twenty years had passed. The elder sister had been harmed by a villain, leaving only a soul, and everyone tried their best to preserve her soul. Nevertheless, she would have to experience reincarnation like an ordinary person until her younger sister found her." Feng Yiliu did not know why, but she felt a tinge of sorrow. "Xintong, is that you?" Yao Xintong smiled, her eyes slightly red. "I am the younger sister in the story. I will not age as I practice celestial magic. My elder sister, I failed to protect you. I am sorry." "Silly, how could I blame you? I just worry for you. If that is the case, every lifetime you have to work hard for me." "I will be fine. No matter how long it takes, my sister will always love me. It's just a matter of time. However, I have plenty of time to accompany my sister through every lifetime."
