Chapter 69 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Bai Lian held the bloodied Mu Jianli who had fallen into a deep sleep and fled hastily. The hastily set up trap formation wouldn't hold Barely for long against the formidable Warrior Queen Ximeichan, who was also nearly depleted of her spiritual power. Unable to run too far with Jianli in her arms, she aimlessly advanced, hoping to find a place for Jianli to heal. Soon, she unexpectedly encountered someone. "Miss Tang, what are you doing here?" She gawked at Tang ChuHuan standing by the water. Tang ChuHuan turned around, seeming surprised by their presence. "Miss Bai, what a coincidence, we meet in my backyard again." How many backyards does she have, anyway?! Bai Lian could only smile wryly, but with her spiritual power drained and her body weakened, she had no strength to banter with Tang ChuHuan. Tang ChuHuan also noticed their miserable state and furrowed her brow. "Miss Bai, how did you both end up like this?" "Weren't you two investigating the situation inside the underground passage of the Tai Xu Manor?" Bai Lian shook her head weakly and said, "Jianli and I encountered an unexpected strong enemy inside and got injured, so we had to temporarily flee from there." "The things inside were unexpectedly difficult even for both of you?" Tang ChuHuan's expression showed surprise. She looked at the bloodied Mu Jianli in Bai Lian's arms and couldn't help but gasp, anxiously saying, "Miss Bai, I know a place that is absolutely safe and convenient for you and Jianli to heal. Please follow me." Bai Lian hesitated. With Jianli seriously injured and herself almost powerless, she had to be cautious. Even though she and Tang ChuHuan had been friends who could share a drink... Perhaps sensing Bai Lian's hesitation, Tang ChuHuan suddenly said firmly, "Miss Bai, Jianli's condition can't be delayed any longer. Please trust me, I will never harm you no matter what." Bai Lian looked at her in surprise, but then collided with her clear eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she reluctantly nodded and said, "Then, please show the way, Miss Tang." Tang ChuHuan eventually led them to a peaceful place. There, a stream murmured, the trees were lush, and there were many birds and beasts, presenting a primitive scene. Behind the lush vines, there was a cave, its interior decorated quite charmingly, resembling a young girl's boudoir. Bai Lian laid Mu Jianli on the bed and used the Taixuan Heart Sutra to continuously nourish her wounds and meridians. Only when she felt Jianli's condition gradually stabilize and improve did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. She said to Tang ChuHuan beside her, "I didn't expect to find such a peaceful place here. It's truly unexpected." Tang ChuHuan smiled slightly. "I accidentally discovered this place while hunting, and it became my sanctuary for peace and quiet. Getting your approval is also its blessing." "I've prepared hot water and clean clothes for you, Miss Bai, so you don't need to worry. They are all brand new." Bai Lian was speechless, not expecting Tang ChuHuan to be so considerate. Her clothes had been tattered after the ordeal in the underground palace, but fortunately, they were still decently covered. "Thank you for your kind gesture, Miss Tang," she said. She tried to get up but suddenly felt dizzy. Thankfully, she managed to lean against the wall in time and didn't collapse. "Are you alright, Miss Bai?" Tang ChuHuan asked anxiously. Bai Lian bit her lip, slid down the wall, and shook her head lightly. "I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. I'll rest for a while." "Miss Tang, I'm going to bathe and change. Please excuse me for a moment." Of course, she couldn't tell Tang ChuHuan that her current condition was due to the Meiwén breaking out. The heat of the Meiwén in her lower abdomen made her dizzy, and she had to suppress her uncontrollable desire with all her strength. Under the influence of that desire, even Tang ChuHuan in front of her seemed to become much more delicate and beautiful, like a pretty girl. Could it be that Tang ChuHuan was really a girl? Bai Lian quickly shook her head to dispel the ridiculous idea. Damn Ximeichan, damn Meiwén, they made her feel a bit disoriented. In the game, she and Tang ChuHuan shared drinks and enjoyed each other's company. She didn't know the gender of the other person. It wasn't possible for her former brother to be an extraordinary beauty or something like that. No, absolutely impossible! "I'll take my leave now, Miss Bai. Rest well," Tang ChuHuan nodded and left the room. But she didn't leave immediately, instead she leaned quietly against the door. In her impression, Bai Lian was like the moon in the sky, serene, lofty, and hard to reach. She had always been such a noble person, in both this life and the past. But just now, for a moment, she saw a vulnerable side of Bai Lian. She was no longer the lofty immortal, but just a reachable girl who seemed pitiful and adorable, as if... even she, a person like her, could be embraced. She gazed silently at her palm, lost in thought. Bai Lian didn't plan to stay in Tang ChuHuan's secret base for too long. Once Jianli woke up from her coma and she managed to suppress the Meiwén, she intended to bid Tang ChuHuan farewell. Finding Gu QingQing was the most urgent matter; that way, Ximeichan would be wary of making a move. She found Tang ChuHuan and handed her a blue necklace. "Miss Tang, this is a treasure I obtained from the Hehuan Palace. It can protect you from harm and might be useful for you." Tang ChuHuan took the necklace, her gaze distant. Bai Lian had indeed given her this necklace, the only gift she had given her in her past life. When she received the necklace, she was still dressed as a man, but couldn't help revealing a joyful expression of a young girl. She was teased by Bai Lian for that. However, she didn't care because, in her eyes, this necklace was her only tie to Bai Lian, whether or not it was a treasure. She treasured it immensely. Maybe in the future… there would be a chance to see her again? However, the girl's infatuation dissipated like foam in the face of the tragic massacre. Hundreds of people in the Tang family were slaughtered by the cult, with blood flowing in every direction. She alone was protected by the necklace, sitting alone in a pool of blood. Perhaps Bai Lian would never know that when that necklace she gave saved the girl who admired her from despair, the faint light in the endless darkness would seem so dazzling in the girl’s eyes. After fleeing from the Suzhou city, she had to wander around, struggling to survive, and never saw Bai Lian again. But she never let go of the necklace until the moment of her death. "What's wrong? Do you not like it, Miss Tang?" Bai Lian asked, feeling a little awkward. "It's quite delicate after all..." "No! I really like it!" Tang ChuHuan suddenly exclaimed, she wore a bright smile. "Thank you, Miss Bai." Thank you for always protecting me, thank you for... being able to accompany me through that dark life.
