Chapter 80 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

When it comes down to it, both Bai Lian and Jiang Miao are renowned beauties in the world of cultivation. Don't be fooled by Jiang Miao's petite and cute Lolita appearance; as a leading female character, she naturally couldn't give people a childish impression. On the contrary, her petite figure is enough to arouse the deepest desires in people. With her enticing appearance and the title of the Holy Maiden of the Tianxuan Sect, her suitors were once so numerous that the disciples of the Tianxuan Sect found it almost unbearable. For quite a long time, it was even a spectacle in the cultivation world to see cultivators being thrown out of the Tianxuan Sect gates every day. As for Bai Lian, since she joined the Taihua Sword Sect, she has been unwavering in embodying the concept of a homebody to the extreme, even skipping many sect activities and focusing on non-existence. Despite this, her reputation still spread throughout the entire cultivation world, and everyone knew that the Taihua Sword Sect had a pure and unblemished fairy, Bai Lian, even if she wanted to hide, she had no chance. Therefore, even though both of them had changed their appearances through spells, their naturally beautiful temperament continued to attract the attention of the people around them. In particular, when Jiang Miao collided into Bai Lian's embrace, the collision between her cuteness and Bai Lian's cold elegance was like a beautiful painting. People began to speculate whether the two of them were a mother-daughter pair from a big city, and then they started discussing which lucky man could be qualified to enjoy such great fortune. How could Bai Lian, who has been a homebody for two lifetimes, bear such attention? She quickly blushed and said with embarrassment, "Th-that... Xiao Miao, please get up quickly..." Jiang Miao knew the principle of taking things slowly, so she did not plan to take advantage of Bai Lian all at once. However, when she looked up from Bai Lian's soft embrace, the sight of Bai Lian's blushing face left her head in a daze. "Ah, Xiao-Xiao Miao? What's the matter?!" She hastily helped the dizzy Jiang Miao up, and seeing that the girl was okay, Bai Lian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For some reason, since Jiang Miao had fainted, her behavior towards her had become increasingly intimate, even though they had been somewhat distant when they were in the Taixu Villa just a few days ago. In theory, they had only known each other for a few days. Could this girl be what people called "a natural" in making friends? But there was no such description of her character in the game. Although Jiang Miao always appeared foolishly cute, in front of others, she was undoubtedly a true demon sect's holy maiden... Bai Lian sighed in her heart and did not wish to dwell on these miscellaneous matters. Instead, she said, "Xiao Miao, hold on for a moment. I'll leave for a while." "Alright! Black Lotus sister, you go. Little Miao will wait here for you obediently!" Jiang Miao answered dutifully. She was not worried that Bai Lian would run away because, judging by Bai Lian's appearance, she did not know that her true identity had been exposed, and she was still carefully maintaining her false identity of Black Lotus. Even though she had become a girl, she still had to use a false identity in front of her, clearly worried about being found out. If she were to display strange emotions at this time, it might startle her brother Bai Lian. But it didn't matter; she was no longer the ignorant little girl from her previous life, and she had time on her hands. She gazed pensively at Bai Lian's retreating figure. Brother Bai Lian, I know you see me more as a little sister, in both this life and the previous one. But I have never been content with just being your little sister, never content with watching you hold and love other girls, so I won't give up. I will make you realize that Little Miao's love for you is no less than anyone else's. Unexpectedly, Bai Lian did not stay away for long, and soon returned. She ran over joyfully, holding something in her hand and with a beaming smile, she said, "Xiao Miao, guess what this is?" Jiang Miao looked at what Bai Lian held out and couldn't help but be stunned, "Is... is it a candied hawthorn?" And it was her favorite kind, candied hawthorn with apple flavor... "Hehe, I saw a street vendor selling candied hawthorn just now, and I was thinking if little Miao would like it, so I bought it for you." Bai Lian said with a smile, handing the apple-flavored one to Jiang Miao. In the early stages of the game, Jiang Miao showed a fondness for sweet foods, especially candied hawthorn. But she was not so fond of hawthorns stuffed with mountain hawthorn, as she did not like the sour taste. Apple-flavored candied hawthorn had become her favorite. Unfortunately, as she had sneaked out of the Tianxuan Sect, without much money, and was naïve and uninformed about worldly matters, she soon found herself in dire straits and could only drool over the apple-flavored candied hawthorns being sold by the vendors. At that time, Bai Lian had found Jiang Miao to be foolishly cute and proactively bought the candied hawthorn for her. Unexpectedly, Jiang Miao hugged her leg as if she had found her savior. That was how their first encounter played out, and for a long time after, she continued to win Jiang Miao's favor through candied hawthorns. It was a pity that as the game's plot unfolded, although their relationship grew closer, they never had the opportunity to return to that familiar place to taste the sweet human food. Just now, as they passed through the market of the human town, she suddenly saw a street vendor selling candied hawthorns and was reminded of the past. So, she decided to buy two and bring them back. Jiang Miao took the candied hawthorn from Bai Lian and bit her lip. How many years had it been since she had last eaten candied hawthorn? Perhaps she could not even recall her own preferences. She had grown up in the Tianxuan Sect, protected meticulously by her parents and master, sheltered and naive, yet longing for the outside world. So, she took the chance to run away, but instead of finding freedom, she was met with harsh reality. She saw the hardships and ruthlessness of the world and couldn't help feeling lost and unsure of where she could stand. With no sense of direction, she wandered aimlessly. Later, she came across candied hawthorn on the street and saw its lovely appearance, the tender, indulgent expressions of parents, and the happy smiles of children holding candied hawthorn. She wondered, could such things truly bring happiness to people? She wanted to eat but had no money and could only look on longingly. When she was feeling disheartened and about to sneak back to the Tianxuan Sect, Bai Lian appeared. Although he didn't say anything, his warm smile, so different from the indifference of others, lit up her soul that had been buried by the world. I realize now, I started to like Brother Bai Lian from that moment…Bai Brother Guy, turned out, remembered the candied hawthorn I liked. But he probably doesn't know that it's not the apple-flavored candied hawthorn that I am partial to, but rather the gentleness that illuminated my heart... Jiang Miao took the candied hawthorn and licked it gently, then a sweet smile spread on her lips, "It's so sweet! Hehe, Black Lotus sister, you're really the best!" "Of course, as long as Xiao Miao likes it," Bai Lian said with a slight smile. Seeing Jiang Miao so joyous was also a pleasing sight to her, and she was willing to pay any price to protect this smile. However...watching Jiang Miao being so happy, she couldn't help but have a small impulse. As it seemed that Xiao Miao's mood was quite good, there should be no problem with probing, right? She thought, licked the candied hawthorn in her hand, and casually asked, "By the way, Xiao Miao, you mentioned that you have business at the Taihua Sword Sect. I am also a disciple of the Taihua Sword Sect; would it be inconvenient for you to tell me about this matter?" At this, Jiang Miao blinked and answered casually, "Of course not, it's not a secret that can't be shared. If Black Lotus sister wants to know, Xiao Miao can tell you." Bai Lian was immediately excited and asked, "What is it?" A sly look appeared in Jiang Miao's eyes. "Of course... to find the Bai Lian fairy." "Find the Bai Lian fairy?" Bai Lian was taken aback for a moment and even repeated, "Find the Bai Lian fairy... the Bai Lian fairy of the Taihua Sword Sect?" Soon, she realized what it meant and was so startled that she got choked by the candied hawthorn. "Uh!" "Cough, cough, cough, cough." She covered her mouth and coughed violently, but in her heart, she couldn't help but wail - The Bai Lian fairy of the Taihua Sword Sect was her?! So, Jiang Miao's so-called business was to come all the way just to find her? "Black Lotus sister, what's the matter with you?" It seemed that Bai Lian's intense reaction had scared Jiang Miao, who hurriedly came over and gently patted Bai Lian's back. One person was patting her back while whispering in Bai Lian's ear, "Sister Black Lotus, as a disciple of the Taihua Sword Sect, you should also know the Fairy Bai Lian, right?" That voice sounded to Bai Lian like the devilish notes of the Tianyin Sect. Her lips twitched, and her eyes involuntarily wandered. "Fairy Bai Lian... I-I should know her. "I wonder what business Little Miao has with Fairy Bai Lian? If it's not urgent, I—I am her senior sister and can deliver the message on her behalf." At these words, Jiang Miao asked in puzzlement, "But didn't you say you hail from the Qiongming Peak? I remember Fairy Bai Lian is a disciple of the youngest Chicken Peak, right?" This is just something I made up on the spot! Why on earth do you still remember these little details? I've even forgotten! Bai Lian complained inwardly and, with a slight surprise, she said, "Although Bai Lian and I belong to different peaks, we are very close and like sisters, so we naturally count as senior and junior sisters." "I see... No wonder I found Black Lotus and Fairy Bai Lian's names so alike, turns out they are sisters-" Jiang Miao deliberately drew out the end of the sentence and observed Bai Lian's somewhat flustered expression, feeling a hint of satisfaction. Whether in this life or the previous one, Bai Lian always appeared mature and composed in front of her, as if she could handle anything with ease. Now, however, she felt the delight in teasing Bai Lian and seeing a previously dependable person display signs of panic and shyness in her presence, satisfying her hidden desires greatly. I just want to see more... to see the person in front of me gasping breathlessly beneath me... Jiang Miao's gaze was too eager, to the extent that Bai Lian dared not meet her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in her heart. What the hell is this! How come her harem members have completely different personalities from the game after being reborn? Her gentle and noble mistress has turned particularly black-bellied, the cold and aloof Jian Li has become increasingly dominant, and now, even the innocent and lovable Xiao Miao is showing such aggressiveness! Damn it, do they think she's a pushover?! Well, she actually is. After all, she treated so many girls badly in the game! She brought this upon herself... Bai Lian appeared composed on the surface, but her heart was already filled with tears. With a heart full of grief, she didn't want to discuss this topic any further and tried to change the subject, "Let's not talk about this. Xiao Miao, look over there, it seems quite lively." Likewise, Jiang Miao didn't want to push Bai Lian to the edge of a cliff, as she was well aware that a cornered rabbit would bite. Although Brother Bai Lian had softened even more since becoming a girl, what if she became desperate and wanted to run away? So she followed Bai Lian's pointed direction but couldn't help but utter in a puzzled tone, "Huh? Are those...Daoists?" Although it was a casual topic brought up by Bai Lian, it was indeed too lively over there, which piqued her interest as well. She looked at the crowd there and furrowed her brows involuntarily. In the world of cultivation, there were many Daoists. Broadly speaking, any cultivator practicing profound techniques could be considered a Daoist. However, in essence, only the Tian Shu Shen Que and the Wan Dao Sect could be considered authentic Daoists. The rest of the Daoists were mostly just using a well-sounding title to associate themselves with the elusive Ancestor of Dao. But more often, they were simply charlatans who exploited the world. Genuine practitioners despised these impostors who ruined the name of Daoists. However, because of their large number and scattered distribution, there wasn't much they could do. But when they did encounter them, they had to intervene. So Bai Lian caught a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, sir, is there something going on up ahead?" The passerby was originally about to join the commotion and was initially annoyed at being stopped. But Bai Lian's clear and pure voice like the springs in the mountains instantly extinguished the fire in his heart. Looking at Bai Lian's exquisite face, he promptly forgot himself and wanted to tell her every minute detail about himself, down to the color of his inner robe. "H-Hehe...Fair Lady, there's a fox demon causing a stir in our town recently. So, the master of the Wang family specially invited a famous Daoist from nearby, who is currently preaching to us." Hearing this, Bai Lian couldn't help but exchange a glance with Jiang Miao. A fox demon? A Daoist? What a jumbled mess. However, besides that, Bai Lian also noticed an issue— All she did was ask a simple question of a mortal and didn't use any spells. Wasn't his reaction exaggerated?
