Chapter 123 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Baoqin's eyes widened in disbelief. "The princess said that Bailian is an irredeemable villain, who enjoys deceiving innocent young girls and then leaves nothing behind after devouring them!" "The princess also warned Baoqin to be extremely cautious when meeting Bailian and not to be deceived by her!" "Bailian, you are so gentle and kind, how could you be the villainous Bailian from the Taihua Sword Sect?" She seemed to realize something, her face filled with shock, murmuring to herself, biting her finger. "But if the Bailian from the Taihua Sword Sect is so wicked, why did the princess ask Baoqin to find Bailian?" "The princess wouldn't want to get rid of Baoqin just because she eats too much, right?" Sob…sob… Listening to Baoqin's account, Bailian's temples throbbed with agitation. Xiao Weiyang, are you a reincarnator? You must be a reincarnator! Even though we've never met in this life, you are already smearing my name behind my back. Are you not even going to put on a façade after reincarnating? I spent so much effort guiding your cultivation in the game. At the beginning, you even followed me around calling me "master", but after you reincarnated, you turned into a deceitful and selfish person! Well, after I successfully wooed Xiao Weiyang in the game, she did indulge quite a bit in our relationship... Just the thought of it made Bailian shiver. Because in her previous life, she played with Xiao Weiyang too much, to the extent that in the nightmare of being killed by the female leads, she vividly recalled that the blade under Xiao Weiyang was the heaviest. The resentment, almost tangible, shrouded the sky, marking White Lotus' final memory. She had every reason to believe that even if everyone had reincarnated, even if she wasn't the Bailian from her previous life, Xiao Weiyang's grudge wouldn't diminish. This banquet hosted by Luo Tian... could this be another trap set by Xiao Weiyang?! N-no, according to the timeline, Xiao Weiyang is now just a teenager, barely coming of age and only just reaching the threshold of cultivation. The Grand Xia Dynasty is no match for the spiritual heritage of the Tian Shu Shen Que. There's no method to guide the power of the stars and easily instigate the marrow. Even if the Grand Xia Dynasty had a similar method, so what? Based on her time as the Imperial Tutor of Grand Xia, where she was almost always close to Xiao Weiyang, she knew quite well that the girl was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had never suffered in her life. Her spoiled nature had hardly changed until her death. Hence, even if she had reincarnated, she probably couldn't endure the pain of instigating the marrow. With that in mind, Bailian felt a sense of relief. That girl Weiyang is probably still a mundane person, far from the later stages of the game, where she held unparalleled power. How could a little girl who hasn't even grown up fully compare with her? It's too early for that! Not dwelling on Xiao Weiyang, Bailian redirected her focus to Baoqin. She found Baoqin lost in self-pity, tears streaming down her face as if she had already been abandoned by the princess and was about to face a future without food. Why didn't I notice her lack of intelligence in the game? I wonder where all that food she eats goes. Not only is she not smart, but her chest is also quite poor. Helpless, Bailian thought to herself before comforting Baoqin aloud, "Don't worry, Baoqin, the princess hasn't abandoned you." "I really am the Bailian from the Taihua Sword Sect, not capable of such things, and I won't devour you, honestly." "R-really?" Baoqin's desolate eyes lit up again, as if she had found a glimmer of hope. "Bailian, you mustn't lie to me!..." Looking at the hopeful Baoqin, a dark and mischievous impulse sprouted in Bailian's heart. If she were to tell Baoqin right now that she was lying, she would surely be devastated, right? This feeling... it's almost enjoyable. Ah, I can't continue thinking like this! Bailian, you promised to be pure and honest, how can you torment the adorable Baoqin? "I won't lie to you," she ruffled Baoqin's hair. "Your princess has never even seen the Bailian girl. How could she know what kind of person Bailian is?" "But Baoqin has met her now. What does Baoqin think of Bailian?" "Bailian," Baoqin said dizzily, her eyes fixed on Bailian, "like a mother!" Bailian: ?! What on earth is she talking about? I'm not even twenty in this life, I haven't been in any relationships, and my tools have been taken away. How could I possibly have a child?! Haha. Upon hearing Baoqin's words, Mu Xinghe couldn't help but burst into laughter. Bailian cast a disdainful glare at Mu Xinghe. "What's so funny!" "Sorry," Mu Xinghe struggled to contain her mirth, "Bailian, you may be even younger than me, but sometimes you truly give off a maternal vibe." "Is it because of your size?" "You little...!" Bailian was instantly flooded with a mix of anger and embarrassment, poised to strike. But before she could react, Mu Xinghe grabbed her small fist and pulled her into her embrace. Bailian had never experienced such a situation before, and by the time she reacted, she was already in Mu Xinghe's arms. She blushed instantly. "Y-you, what?!" There are still people watching. "I'm just fighting back," Mu Xinghe said with a faint smile. Leaning close to Bailian's ear, she whispered, "And I'm curious. You seem quite familiar with the princess's handmaiden, aren't you, Bailian?" "But you... have never been to the capital, have you?" Bailian broke into a cold sweat. Her mind raced, and she replied somewhat dryly, "I indeed have never been to the capital, but as the most beloved daughter of the Xia Emperor, there are portraits of her. The palace maids in Baoqin’s outfit are by her side." "Besides, what's the point of your questions?" Bailian shot back. "My acquaintance with the princess's handmaiden has nothing to do with you, does it?" Hearing this, Mu Xinghe narrowed her eyes. She had only intended to intimidate Bailian, but she hadn't expected her to say such words. It left her feeling uncomfortable. The fact that she could casually say we have nothing to do with each other was discomfiting. She was unhappy and sought revenge. Even though she had been reborn, assuming Bailian's weaknesses hadn't changed... Gazing at the indifferent Bailian, a feeling of revenge surged inside her. Then suddenly, she gently licked Bailian's earlobe. "Eek!" Baoqin covered her eyes, peeking through her fingers at the suddenly moaning Bailian. What is Bailian doing? It seems… very powerful! In this moment, the young Baoqin felt as if she had discovered a new world.
