Chapter 79 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Perhaps it was the inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart that prompted Bai Lian not to choose to fly back to Taihua Sword Sect directly this time. But she didn't understand where this sense of crisis came from. Was she afraid that the devious Gu Qing Qing would toy with her? Or was she worried that Xiao Miao would discover that Black Lotus was just a front, and her true identity was actually Bai Lian? It couldn't be because that guy, Mu Xinghe, is waiting for her at Taihua Sword Sect now, could it? Hilarious. Speaking of which, she didn't actually know much about Mu Xinghe in this life, and she wasn't sure if she had undergone reincarnation. It's just hearsay that she started practicing at a much younger age than ordinary cultivators. It's actually quite absurd, because the first preparation for ordinary people to cultivate immortality is to cleanse the meridians. Although the younger one is, the more plasticity the meridians have, they are also more fragile, and the process of cleansing the meridians is too painful for children and it's hard for them to endure. Therefore, most people begin cultivating immortality between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. She was brought back to the sect by Gu Qing Qing when she was sixteen. But that Mu Xinghe... started practicing at the age of six? Did she start practicing so early in the game? Bai Lian scratched her head, feeling a bit forgetful. After all, Mu Xinghe is one of the early female leads in the game, and it's been so long since their first encounter that she's having trouble recalling the details about her. But knowing that guy's personality, if she's been reincarnated, she'd definitely be eager to seek revenge on her, right? The fact that she hasn't made a move in such a long time means she either didn't reincarnate at all, or she just reincarnated and hasn't figured out her situation. Regardless of whether it's the former or the latter, it's great news for her. Thinking of this, Bai Lian couldn't help feeling a bit smug. Humph, things are different now. She's now a dignified Tengyun Period cultivator. That Mu Xinghe, who just reincarnated, wouldn't easily overpower her! Jiang Miao was following behind Bai Lian, secretly observing her. Becoming a girl like Bai Lian, this was really something so novel that it greatly aroused her curiosity. After her sneaky observation—oh sorry, observation!—Jiang Miao realized that although Bai Lian still had traces of her past self, perhaps due to having been a girl for a while, every move she made was filled with a graceful temperament, and even her personality had become much gentler. The former carefreeness and the current gracefulness complemented each other, not making her feel strange at all, but rather possessing a peculiar charm. Watching Bai Lian's delicate profile, she couldn't help but be fascinated. So much so that she didn't even notice Bai Lian stopping and turning around, and ended up bumping into her. "Ah, Xiao Miao, over there... Oops!" Bai Lian took a few steps back, having been bumped into, but Jiang Miao fell backward as if she had bumped into a bouncy ball, and ended up sitting on her rear. "Ouch!" She was in pain, on the verge of tears. "Xiao Miao, are you alright?" Bai Lian quickly crouched down to check on Jiang Miao's condition. Looking at Bai Lian's concerned expression, Jiang Miao suddenly felt a surge of grievance in her heart. Damn, compared to the pain in her butt, the hurt in her heart was harder to bear! No, she couldn't tolerate this injustice! So she pouted and directly threw herself into Bai Lian's embrace. "Sob... Black Lotus... *Sniff*" Bai Lian comforted Jiang Miao, who was crying in her arms, feeling a bit tinged with pity. Back in her past life, she was an only child, without any siblings. Coupled with the fact that her parents frequently moved due to work when she was young, she always had to face the situation of leaving her friends behind. At that time, mobile phones and computers were just beginning to become popular, and even a simple penguin was quite novel. Given her family's financial constraints, she didn't have the luxury of having a phone or computer, so moving felt like a permanent farewell to her friends back then. The feeling of separation was unbearable for a child. She had cried countless times in her sleep and earnestly hoped that her parents wouldn't move again. But she was a sensible child from a young age and understood the hardships her parents faced to make ends meet, so she never voiced these thoughts, instead silently developing a habit of not forming deep friendships. And so, until she graduated from college and started working, she never had a close friend. Under such circumstances, she had longed for a younger sibling. She often thought that if she had a younger brother or sister, she would do everything to protect and cherish them. Unfortunately, contrary to her wishes, under the pressure of life, her parents never thought of having another child, so this became a lingering regret for her. After reincarnation, influenced by her memories of the game, her relationship with the female leads became somewhat unclear, seeming like a strange lover yet feeling like a familiar friend. But Jiang Miao, for some reason, didn't stir up much desire for romance within her heart; she simply regarded her as her sister. These emotions were even reflected in the game. Of all the female leads, Jiang Miao had the least amount of dual cultivation encounters with her, but her favorability was the highest. Especially after seeing Jiang Miao at the Taixu Villa, this emotion overwhelmed her like an erupting volcano. She understood that her emotions were probably influenced by her childhood regrets, but she was happy about it. Moreover, reality was not a game. Though Jiang Miao was already an adult, her petite figure made it difficult for her to make a move. "Black Lotus sister, what are you thinking?" Sensing that Bai Lian was distracted, Jiang Miao looked up from her embrace and asked. "Nothing." Bai Lian subconsciously replied, bowing her head. The next moment, Jiang Miao's adorable face came into view, causing her to involuntarily pause for a moment. It could be said that the game artist who didn't die without dual cultivation certainly knew how to make a game. Jiang Miao raising her face in her embrace, with her sparkling big eyes gazing up at her, was truly breathtaking! Simply criminal and irresistible! "Xiao Miao, how do you feel? Can you stand up?" Bai Lian quickly chased away the strange thoughts in her mind and asked with concern. "My butt hurts," Jiang Miao pouted, reluctant to leave Bai Lian's embrace. She couldn't help it. Bai Lian's embrace was so comfortable, fragrant, soft, and bouncy, just like her mother's embrace when she was young. Plus, ever since Bai Lian became a girl, she seemed a bit foolish, letting herself be pampered by Jiang Miao instead. Just like before, even though Jiang Miao had kissed her so much that her lips were swollen, she still thought it was because she had accidentally bumped into a stone. But... this foolish Bai Lian was so cute, and Jiang Miao really liked it. She suddenly felt that if this continued, she might actually not be able to resist tying Bai Lian back to Tianxuan Sect as her wife...
