Chapter 102 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

As the tension between Mu Jianli and Jiang Miao was about to erupt into a sisterly battle, Bai Lian could no longer hold back. Given her understanding of Mu Xing He’s mastery of formations, she knew this person could arrange a formation to suppress the charm marks without needing anyone’s help. The only reason she decided to interfere now was due to her mischievous nature, intending to sow discord between Mu Jianli and Jiang Miao. As for the need to undress, it was probably another part of her plan to worsen the situation between them. Checking the charm marks may require undressing, but arranging a formation should not involve undressing. It was utterly ridiculous. Rubbing the heads of the two, she said, "Alright, alright, none of you should go. It will just be me and Mu Shijie." "But..." Jiang Miao seemed a bit anxious. "Xiao Miao, don't worry, Mu Shijie is not a bad person," Bai Lian said firmly. In reality, she knew about the relationship between Jiang Miao and Mu Xing He and why they had gone from sisters to archenemies. Unfortunately, without mutual cultivation, there was no path to repairing their relationship, so she could only watch helplessly. Now that the game had become reality, she seemed to have a chance to repair Mu Xing He and Jiang Miao's relationship. But no matter how many ideas she had, she couldn't show them now because she had just “recently” established a friendly relationship with both of them. At this moment, she actually felt a sense of helplessness, as if she were playing a game where not mutual cultivating would lead to death. Confronted with Bai Lian's determination, Jiang Miao felt somewhat heartbroken. As Bai Lian’s sister, she seemed to be able to stand by Bai Lian's side more legitimately than other beauties. But only she knew that being a sister might bring a natural closeness, but more often, it was a silent distance. Bai Lian had always stood in front of her, shielding her from the coming storm. The figure was so close that it seemed she could touch it with a stretch of her hand, yet when she reached out, she found an unbridgeable gap. She did not want to be just Bai Lian's sister, nor did she want to always watch Bai Lian from a distance, seeing more and more women by her side, seeing her move further away. She wanted to do something, to change something. In fact, in her past life, it was often she who took the initiative in the mutual cultivation with Bai Lian. But no matter how many times, her unease did not disappear, instead, it intensified. So she began to fear that Bai Lian would suddenly disappear, that Bai Lian would abandon her, that she would once again feel the loneliness of being in the world but not of it, like when she looked at the candy seller but felt detached from the world. She often cried secretly when she looked back at Bai Lian, because she did not want Bai Lian to see her weak side, but she could not bear the pain. Why... couldn't Bai Lian sense her feelings? At that moment, she felt the warmth from above once again. She looked up in a daze, but all she saw was Bai Lian's gentle smile. "Xiao Miao, sister won't be easily deceived. Trust me, no matter what, I will never abandon you," Bai Lian's tenderness remained as always, like a cold light meeting the sun. Jiang Miao's eyes were misty without her realizing. Bai Lian...sister noticed her thoughts... She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and stifled her emotions as she said, "Yes! I believe in Bai Lian!" With that, she raised her small fist. "Xiao Miao is the saintess of the demonic sect. If Mu Xing He dares to have any ill intentions toward Bai Lian, Xiao Miao will kill her!" "Alright, alright," Bai Lian helplessly pinched her cheek, then turned to Mu Jianli. "Jianli, you and Xiao Miao should go out first." "Okay, Shijie." Mu Jianli obediently nodded. Unlike Bai Lian's other beauties, she had always been the most obedient to Bai Lian, as if she would never oppose Bai Lian's wishes. Hu Hu tried to stealthily hide in a corner, minimizing her presence in an attempt to stay in the room. However, how could Mu Jianli forget about her? As Bai Lian's junior sister, her radar for rivals was extremely sensitive. Although this sudden appearance of the fox did not exhibit any abnormal behavior, her instinct as a woman told her not to let the fox take advantage of the situation. Hu Hu was lifted by the nape of her neck by Mu Jianli, and she fumed, struggling against it. What are you doing? I'm just a fox, do you jerks even get jealous of a fox?! This is absolutely unreasonable! Unfortunately, at that moment, Hu Hu had no room for resistance and was just taken away by Mu Jianli. After the sisters left, Bai Lian looked at Mu Xing He, who had been watching the scene unfold. "Shijie, shall we begin?" Mu Xing He did not speak, simply nodding slightly. She watched Bai Lian's back with a pensive look, her eyes revealing thoughtfulness, as if contemplating something. "Shijie, what should I do first?" Bai Lian sat on the bed, curiously asking. Despite being formidable in the game as an Unbounded Great Power, her abilities were a result of frequent mutual cultivation with the female protagonists, not to mention the instability of her foundations and her lack of knowledge about the vast majority of cultivation matters in the immortal world. For example, she had never even heard about the method of removing charm marks before this. "First, take off your top," Mu Xing He said. "Pardon?" Bai Lian was stunned. Why would you still ask me to undress when Jianli and Xiao Miao have left, and your plan to stir up discord is over? Are you addicted to undressing me now? I am not interested in that aspect, hey! Seemingly sensing Bai Lian's thoughts, Mu Xing He said lightly, "White Shijie doesn’t think I am talking nonsense, does she?" "Charm marks are linked to the dantian and have complex trends. Carelessness could affect your foundation." "Undressing is simply to make it easier for me to arrange the formation to better match the path of the charm marks." "Of course, if you don't want to undress, I can use my divine sense," Mu Xing He smirked, "But then, White Shijie will have no secrets in front of me." When spying on Bai Lian in the past, she had occasionally stumbled upon Bai Lian bathing and had naturally seen her body. However, Bai Lian's figure had undergone a substantial change, and she didn’t mind revisiting the past. Bai Lian immediately covered her chest. Mu Xing He's gaze was intimidating, as if it could penetrate her spiritual defenses and see right through her. This blatant feeling made her feel hot all over and a faint blush rose on her cheeks. She bit her lower lip and turned away. "I'll undress then! Shijie, please stop teasing me and let's start..." Why was she so easily teased? Mu Xing He looked at Bai Lian with a hint of a smile. Although Bai Lian was worried that Mu Xing He would take advantage of the situation to suppress her charm marks, to her surprise, Mu Xing He was unexpectedly honest, treating the matter as a matter of fact. As a complex restriction enveloped the charm marks, Bai Lian immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Previously, she had often felt a mild heat in her lower abdomen, making her restless, and her thighs often felt damp. In the morning, she secretly changed the sheets, luckily without being noticed by Jianli and the others. Most importantly, with the presence of the charm marks, she dared not cultivate at all. Once she started cultivating, the charming spirit energy within her would trigger the charm marks’ effects. Furthermore, when she was infatuated, she could not resolve her own worries and could only go to others for help. Currently, only her master, Xiaomiao, and Mu Xing He stayed on the top of the Majestic Peak, as Jianli came from the distant Frost Peak to visit her every day. Seeking help from anyone would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Bai Lian felt sorry for herself. She felt like the heroines in certain pink app stories, as if she stood out as the only target. Now that her charm marks were suppressed, she breathed a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't easily become the clichéd infatuated heroine again... "Although the charm marks are suppressed, the enchanting spirit energy within you can't be resolved for the time being," Mu Xing He said. So you must be careful not to overuse your spirit energy. Otherwise, once the spirit energy supply is cut off, the restriction could dissipate on its own, and you will be affected by the rebound of the charm marks." "Then you might lose control and become a stupid fool who only knows...," Bai Lian couldn’t help shivering. She awkwardly laughed and said, "Don't worry, Shijie, I will be careful." "What's the use of being careful? You always act so recklessly..." Mu Xing He suddenly fell silent. Bai Lian blinked. In the game, she had to traverse the world with Mu Xing He. In that arc of the story, the most common thing Mu Xing He said to her was a complaint about her reckless conduct and lack of caution. At that time, she had grown tired of it, and they even had arguments because of it. But now, hearing it again, she surprisingly found it rather endearing. It was just that Mu Xing He's tone was too indifferent, leaving her unable to fathom her emotions. "Before collecting those types of spiritual items, make sure to pay attention to your spiritual energy. Protect yourself," Mu Xing He's calm voice reached Bai Lian, and she couldn't help but look down at the girl checking the restriction on her, feeling a warmth in her heart. In the game's plot, they had been trapped by a ferocious demon beast's siege. It was when she was besieged and severely injured that Mu Xing He had spoken with the same calm tone and handed her the only lifesaving talisman, urging her to leave first. Though they might often clash, she could always trust Mu Xing He with her back. This was one of the reasons why she willingly called Mu Xing He her sister. Although most of the reasons were just to satisfy the XP's needs...only after feeling the warmth, she couldn't help but have doubts. Mu Xing He, if you truly haven’t been reborn... "Shijie, why are you being so kind to me?" she asked without any beating around the bush. Mu Xing He's movements froze. Bai Lian's fair abdomen was right in front of her, and the faint scent of citrus filled her nostrils. Formation was a skill that greatly benefited from experience, and her proficiency in formations, with the memories of two lifetimes, far surpassed the past. So the restrictions she arranged for Bai Lian didn't need to be checked at all. However, she used the excuse of checking for errors in the restriction to maintain their current closeness. Yes, why indeed? Despite having decided to let go, why did she still feel so close? Was it because... she couldn't bear to part?
