Chapter 116 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

The Yao Guang City, although located within the Da Xia border, is technically under the “sole sovereignty of Da Xia”. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to the Da Xia court but instead belongs to the "private property" of the Taihua Sword Sect. Originally, this place did not have Yao Guang City, it was just an empty land belonging to the Taihua Sword Sect, used to anchor immortal boats passing by. However, with the booming business of the immortal boats, many cultivators gathered spontaneously in the vicinity. They cultivated the land, built houses, and developed industries with the traffic brought by the immortal boats, which in turn attracted more cultivators, ultimately forming a massive city. In contrast, the Gu Su City, also built along the Gu Su River, with developed navigation, is already one of the more prosperous cities among human cities. But compared to Yao Guang City, it still falls short, even the scenery within the city is vastly different. This originates from the disparity in productivity between cultivators and ordinary people. In the cultivation world, many such cities have been established by major sects, and these cities jointly build the life network of the cultivators. It is impossible for the Da Xia court not to be envious of these cities beyond its jurisdiction. After all, the benefits produced by the cultivators' cities are much greater than those of ordinary human cities. However, in this vast cultivation world, strength is always the determining factor for everything. Even though the Da Xia court has mobilized the entire nation, it has only cultivated two Unfettered Venerables, unable to play a decisive role. Of course, due to the fact that most of the cultivator cities in the area acknowledge the sole sovereignty of Da Xia and pay taxes promptly each year, the Da Xia court can only turn a blind eye. After all, they have been given too much. At this moment, Bai Lian and Mu Xing He were strolling in the market of Yao Guang City. Unlike Gu Su City, the market in Yao Guang City mainly sells spirit objects that cultivators can use. For example, the pharmacy sells spiritual herbs and medicines, and the blacksmith shop sells all kinds of artifacts. Even the very common street taverns have signs saying "selling spirit wine." And the passersby are mostly in high spirits, dressed elegantly, giving a vivid impression of the immortal world in the eyes of ordinary people. Just then, a building that stood out from the others caught Bai Lian's attention because it not only looked small and secluded but the cultivators entering and leaving it seemed quite apprehensive, some even covering their faces, reluctant to be seen, hurrying back and forth. "Not Envy..." She frowned as she looked at the obscure sign of the small store, feeling puzzled. As a former senior gamer, she knew that such unusual phenomena often indicated hidden plots. Could there be some plot she didn't know about in Yao Guang City? It shouldn't be the case because in the game, Yao Guang City was just a teleportation point with at most a few game shops, completely devoid of any other worthwhile places to explore. Could such a place also have hidden tasks? Her strong curiosity made Bai Lian quicken her pace. She said to Mu Xing He, "Senior Sister Mu, I'm going to check out that store and be right back." Mu Xing He followed her finger to look over and raised an eyebrow, her expression becoming somewhat strange. "Not Envy Immortal... Bai Junior Sister, do you really want to go to that kind of place?" Seeing Mu Xing He's reaction, Bai Lian became even more certain of her own suspicion. That store must have a problem! Knowing that almost all the plots revolved around the female protagonists, if someone mentioned a piece of information to the female protagonist and she reacted abnormally, it meant there was hidden mission-related information. "Are you saying... there's something dangerous inside?" Bai Lian asked instinctively. "Um... it's not exactly dangerous, but there are some not-so-good things." Mu Xing He looked at Bai Lian with a hint of mischief in her eyes. Would there really be someone in such a peaceful and tranquil city, facing a small store with unknown wares, who, upon being warned by others, would inquire not about what was being sold inside, or why they were being asked if they truly wanted to enter, but whether there was any danger inside? According to common human habits, even if others advised against going to a store, the first reaction should not be to ask if it might be dangerous, right? This kind of straightforward and direct way of talking, she had only felt it from one person. In that instant, she seemed to see Bai Lian's shadow in Bai Lian's body. Bai Lian's eyes lit up at the words. If there was no danger inside, it meant there were benefits! Ha-ha, achievements, treasures, here I come! "Senior Sister Mu, don't worry, I'm not some sheltered girl who knows nothing about the world. Even if there's danger inside, I'm not afraid!" She said confidently, patting her chest. Mu Xing He's eyes subtly lingered on Bai Lian's chest, almost unable to look away. "In that case, I won't stop you, Bai Junior Sister." "Then I'm going in!" Bai Lian walked proudly into Not Envy Immortal. Two minutes later, she came running out, her face flushed, standing beside Mu Xing He in silence. Mu Xing He looked at the red-faced Bai Lian and asked with some teasing, "Bai Junior Sister, what treasures did you see inside?" Bai Lian instantly felt embarrassed. She blushed and muttered softly, "N-no treasures." "Oh? Really? Bai Junior Sister, with that look, you clearly must have seen a lot." "I guess... did you see the Master of... or the Goat Fatty Jade Sphere? Or..." "You, you... stop!" Bai Lian blushed and bit her teeth. Who would have known that this place called Not Envy Immortal with such a poetic and charming name would turn out to be a store for adult items in the immortal world! You can imagine how she walked in proudly, then saw the walls full of two-headed dragons, the Master, a fox tail with a string of Goat Fatty Jade Spheres, and the extendable artifacts powered by spiritual force? Even now, she could clearly sense the strange looks from the cultivators who were picking items then if shame could cause harm, she would have melted a hundred times by now. In her previous life, she never achieved the feat of entering an adult store on the street, but unexpectedly, after being reborn as a girl, she achieved it- and who in the world would want such an achievement! "Why didn't you tell me what kind of things they sell inside?" She looked at Mu Xing He, who appeared to be enjoying her debacle, feeling irritated. Mu Xing He, knowing what kind of store it was, had deliberately lured her in! “Wait a moment.” Bai Lian's suddenly had an epiphany. “How did you know about this store? Aren't you supposed to be an ascetic priest, isn't it strange for you to know about these things?" "Although I'm a priest, I'm still an adult, is it really strange for me to know these things?" Mu Xing He chuckled, squinting her eyes, her voice low. "It's surprising to find that you’re unexpectedly innocent, Bai Junior Sister."
