Chapter 112 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

November, Minor Snow. This early winter is exceptionally cold, with even the normally warm and spring-like Yaoji Peak covered in snowflakes. Bai Lian did not employ her spiritual power to keep warm but instead donned a slightly thicker fur cloak. She stood under the plum tree and reached out to catch a piece of cold snow. It had been over a month and a half since Jian Li entered the Sword Tomb; who knew how she was faring inside. Xiao Miao was immediately caught and taken back by her own sect's elders without any surprise. Thinking about that little girl, Bai Lian couldn't help but show a helpless smile. In recent years, the reputation of the demonic sect has improved significantly, and both cultivators and commoners have had a great change in their attitudes towards them. Therefore, this time at the Lou Tian Banquet, the Great Xia Dynasty also invited major demonic sects. As the Holy Maiden of the Tian Xuan Sect, Jiang Miao would naturally represent the Tian Xuan Sect at the Lou Tian Banquet, so they would probably meet again soon. Before leaving, that little girl unexpectedly hugged her and wept bitterly, giving off a sense of finality to their parting. Even the guardians from the Tian Xuan Sect who were with her at the time turned purple in the face. Perhaps they had never seen a demonic sect's Holy Maiden transform into a reputable fairy of the righteous path, proving that their Holy Maiden indeed had extraordinary talent. Since Jian Li and Xiao Miao, the two younger sister characters, were no longer around, her life had become much calmer and leisurely. She woke up naturally every day, greeted her master on the main peak, went back to her room to practice, occasionally showed herself in front of other disciples, eliciting their surprise, to prove that Bai Lian indeed existed and was not just a supernatural legend of the Taihua Sword Sect. The life of the Senior Sister of the Taihua Sword Sect was simple, plain, and dull like this, except when someone appeared. "Bai Junior Sister, why are you leisurely admiring the snow here today?" Mu Xing He stood at the gate of the small courtyard, gazing at Bai Lian without any shift in her eyes. She couldn't help but feel astonished in her eyes. Today, Bai Lian looked really cute. She was wearing a pale pink fur cloak that enveloped her entirely, making her look adorable, just like a little bunny in the snow. It would be so nice if she could be held in her arms; it would definitely be very warm. Hearing the voice, Bai Lian turned to look at her and said helplessly, "Mu Junior Sister, I am always this free every day." "But Mu Junior Sister, you seem to have a lot of free time too, coming here every day." "Aren't you welcomed?" Mu Xing He chuckled. Even if I were to welcome you, can't you stop coming to my house every day? Have you turned into a sticky plaster? You looked so cool in the game, so how did you turn out to be so annoying in real life? Bai Lian ranted crazily in her mind. But she definitely wouldn't dare to say these words out loud. After all, she still relied on Mu Xing He to resolve the charm mark on her belly. And after all this time, she still couldn't tell if Mu Xing He had been reborn or not. Thinking about this, Bai Lian couldn't help but sigh. This was a real opponent. No matter how a person disguises themselves, the subconscious details are difficult to change. These subconscious details may seem inconspicuous to outsiders, but to those who spend their days together, they are very prominent characteristics. That's why Jian Li was able to see through her true identity in the beginning. But Mu Xing He was different. They had been at the Taihua Sword Sect for almost two months now, and almost every day during these two months, she would come to check and strengthen the seal of the charm mark at her place, under the guise of beautifying her. According to normal circumstances, with such frequent interaction, even if Mu Xing He were acting, she should have seen through it, considering they had spent a year together relying on each other during the Beast Tide, knowing each other's habits inside out. But after two months, she was still completely baffled, leaving her feeling a little uneasy. If Mu Xing He indeed hadn't been reborn, that would be fine. But if she had been, then her acting skills were simply unparalleled. If those second-rate pretty boys from her previous life had just half the acting skills of Mu Xing He, things wouldn't have turned out as they did. Then, she would need to consider not how to coax out Mu Xing He's true identity, but instead think about whether she had already been discovered, and... how not to be tamed into a furry ball by Mu Xing He. With a myriad of thoughts in her mind, in the end, just a few breaths. Bai Lian said, "Mu Junior Sister, the snow outside is heavy, so come in first." "Are you planning to inspect the seal formation today as well?" "Yes." "Then, I'll trouble Mu Junior Sister." Bai Lian said, leading Mu Xing He into her room. Sitting on the soft couch, she lifted her top, allowing Mu Xing He to examine her abdomen. Looking at Mu Xing He's familiar and pretty face, Bai Lian couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. At times when she couldn't practice dual cultivation, Mu Xing He was the most skilled healer in her harem. She would let Mu Xing He handle her injuries just like this. Their feelings had continued to flourish through these continuous treatments. Especially during the time they had endured the Beast Tide, the fondness between them had reached its peak. The process of getting to know and love Mu Xing He had seemed to happen naturally, as if it were fated. Everything had fallen into place so naturally. It seemed to be an innate ability of Mu Xing He to pull everyone into her rhythm. Just like now, she had become accustomed to Mu Xing He's daily visits to her house, and if Mu Xing He didn't show up one day, she would feel somewhat uncomfortable. Initially, she had felt shy when Mu Xing He looked at her belly. Now it had become a routine, and she felt that letting Mu Xing He rub her belly wasn't such a big deal. As she thought about these things, a proverb suddenly popped into her mind—like cooking a frog in warm water. She quickly shook her head to get rid of the odd thought. What nonsense. She was Bai Lian, the Senior Sister of the prestigious Taihua Sword Sect, and she was certainly not the kind of frog that would be cooked in warm water! Moreover, in the game, Mu Xing He was like this. It couldn't be that she was also cooked by Mu Xing He's warm water in the game, right? What a joke. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Seemingly aware of Bai Lian's smile, Mu Xing He raised her head and gently asked. Bai Lian blushed a little. All things considered, Mu Xing He did indeed look very attractive, and when she wasn't being devious, she looked just like the girl next door. Especially when she untied her hair scarf and let her hair fall freely, and smiled tenderly—she would appear particularly peaceful. Although every time Mu Xing He showed such a smile, it usually meant that she was preparing to tease her. She quickly changed the subject, "It's nothing, I just feel a little itchy." "Speaking of which, Mu Junior Sister, it's been nearly two months since you came to the Taihua Sword Sect, right? You've probably discussed the things about the Esoteric Buddhism with the elders of the sect by now. Now that the Lou Tian Banquet is approaching, when does Mu Junior Sister intend to return to the Tian Shu Divine Altar?" Even though she had gotten used to Mu Xing He's presence, at her core, she was still someone who liked to be laissez-faire. If Mu Xing He could temporarily leave, she would definitely be much more relaxed. After all, Mu Xing He was too dangerous for her... However, after hearing her words, Mu Xing He showed a surprised expression. "Bai Junior Sister, what are you talking about?" "Did I say something wrong?" Bai Lian felt crestfallen. This task was completed; why wasn't she going back to submit it? Was she going to stay here to conquer her? She suddenly had a premonition of impending doom. No way... "The clues about Esoteric Buddhism seem to point to Xia Du." "As it happens, the Great Xia Dynasty is planning to hold the Lou Tian Banquet, and I suspect that Esoteric Buddhism is related to this matter." "So, after discussing with the elders of my sect, we decided not to return to the sect for now, but instead to use the Taihua Sword Sect's fairy boat to go to Xia Du to investigate the situation." Seeing Bai Lian's dumbfounded expression, Mu Xing He revealed a smile that was very familiar to Bai Lian. "In that case, I will have to trouble Bai Junior Sister for guidance in our upcoming trip to Xia Du."
