Chapter 77 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Once she realized she was in a safe place, she began to introspect. During this period, she had been too busy to check her meridians and elixir field at all. In order to quickly recover her combat strength, she forcibly controlled the ingesting of aphrodisiac in her body with the White Lotus Heart Sword and was later marked with an allure tattoo by the Immortal Blissful Queen. Coupled with the internal injuries she sustained during the battle, her body was now likely a mess. Sure enough, she soon felt that her originally tidy meridians became extremely chaotic, and some of them were even entangled together. Meridian issues could be rectified gradually, but she was somewhat concerned about the state of the White Lotus Heart Sword. From her introspective view, in the center of her elixir field, there was a slowly rotating pink lotus flower, and the spiritual energy it emitted also seemed to have hints of pink. That was her White Lotus Heart Sword. Her expression was somewhat strange. The color of the White Lotus Heart Sword was originally pure and flawless moon white, but now it had turned pink. Could it still be called the White Lotus Heart Sword? Should it be renamed the Pink Lotus Heart Sword? That would be too tacky... It sounds like some kind of adult novelty item... And it was obvious that the White Lotus Heart Sword had completely merged with the aphrodisiac she had been affected by in the Harmonious Palace, even her spiritual energy had been tainted with pink. The effects of the changes in the White Lotus Heart Sword and spiritual energy were still unknown, but this matter involved the foundation of a cultivator, so she didn't dare to take it lightly. With the current situation, the only thing she could do was to return to the sect as soon as possible and have her master personally assess her current condition. Jiang Miao supported her chin and looked quietly at her. "White Lotus sister... It seems like you really have no memory of being influenced by the allure tattoos. Clearly, at that time, we were so intimate, and now it's as if nothing happened, leaving only my own embarrassment." She couldn't help but ask, "Black Lotus sister, how did you end up with the allure tattoos?" White Lotus was momentarily stunned, then gave a wry smile and recounted her and Mu Jianli's experience after they entered the Harmonious Palace. Jiang Miao listened, her eyes widened in shock, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg. "I... I didn't expect that you would encounter such a villain!" "She actually wanted to get your attention, that woman is really despicable!" "It's infuriating, if I encounter her again, I will definitely help you beat her to death!" Seeing Jiang Miao indignant, White Lotus couldn't help but show a doting smile. The current scene was completely typical of how she and Jiang Miao usually interacted. They would always sit in front of the bonfire, with her calmly telling stories she copied from who-knows-where, while Jiang Miao would chatter away with her own opinions. This familiar and warm feeling truly made one nostalgic... Come to think of it, did the Immortal Blissful Queen manage to escape in the end? Skyborne cultivators were truly not so easy to kill. I wonder if this could have planted a hidden danger. I should ask the master about it when I return. White Lotus shook her head and said, "The Immortal Blissful Queen isn't a big issue, it's just that these allure tattoos are quite tricky." She rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. In the game, allure tattoos were quite significant, even forming their own system. However, at that time, she was following the pure love harem route, where she would first capture the female leads and then control them through the Immortal Blissful Canon. Thus, she naturally didn't need allure tattoos. So now, she was completely clueless about allure tattoos, let alone how to remove them. Although the allure tattoos were quiet now, they could escape and affect her at any time. Especially during battles, if she was seized by that strange numbing sensation, she might as well just surrender. She pondered, her eyes filled with doubt. Come to think of it... Before she lost consciousness, it seemed that she was about to lose control of the allure tattoos. Why did she wake up feeling so peaceful? It felt as though she had been satisfied with something. "Xiaomiao, did you help me suppress the allure tattoos while I was unconscious?" Facing Xiaomiao's questioning gaze, Jiang Miao's expression suddenly froze. She stammered, her eyes drifting, looking a little guilty, "Uh... Y-yes... I saw how much pain you were in, so I took the liberty of transmitting some spiritual energy to you." "I see." White Lotus nodded, accepting Jiang Miao's explanation. The White Lotus Heart Sword had the property of remaining untainted amidst impurities, so in a sense, it could actually restrain the allure tattoos. It just required her to continuously supply spiritual energy. When she confronted the Immortal Blissful Queen, she was already running on fumes and had no energy left to deal with the allure tattoos. It was likely that after Jiang Miao transmitted energy to her, the White Lotus Heart Sword automatically operated and suppressed the effects of the allure tattoos. She gently ruffled Jiang Miao's hair and smiled, "I didn't expect Xiaomiao to be so capable. If Xiaomiao hadn't been there, I would have been in a predicament." Jiang Miao lowered her head. Jiang Miao was a big fraud who not only took advantage of White Lotus but also deceived her into thinking she was a good person. Meow meow... so shameful... But... she was the Saintess of the Demonic Sect after all, so it was normal to do such things. Jiang Miao blinked, suddenly feeling unburdened, and proudly accepted White Lotus's thanks. White Lotus didn't notice Jiang Miao's change in attitude and suddenly felt a sharp pain, covering her mouth. "Oh..." "Black Lotus sister, what's wrong?" Jiang Miao quickly asked. White Lotus furrowed her eyebrows, shook her head lightly, and said, "Nothing, I just felt my lips hurting since waking up." Jiang Miao fell silent, her guilt showing in her eyes. Why did White Lotus feel pain in her lips? Jiang Miao didn't know. White Lotus took out a small mirror from her storage ring and carefully examined her lips. What she saw startled her. Her lips were not only red and swollen but also had traces of blood, as if they had been abraded by something. "This..." She was at a loss, "Could I have hit my lips on a rock?" "It's very likely!" Jiang Miao agreed. "But... something feels off," White Lotus furrowed her brow. Would hitting her lips on a rock really make them look like this? Before she could figure out the connection, Jiang Miao suddenly shifted the topic abruptly and awkwardly. "Uh, let's not talk about this. Black Lotus sister, what are your plans next?" "Me? I'll probably head straight back to the sect," White Lotus said, "After all, these allure tattoos are a hidden danger." "And you, Xiaomiao? Where are you planning to go next?" "Black Lotus sister, I also want to go to the Taihua Sword Sect with you," Jiang Miao said, her eyes sparkling. "What?!" White Lotus was dumbfounded. Jiang Miao wanted to go to the Taihua Sword Sect with her?!
