Chapter 134 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?
Bai Lian stood in the courtyard admiring the flowers. It was early winter, yet the pond in the Mu Family's courtyard was still abloom with clusters of white lotuses. Such a violation of the season was only achievable by cultivators. Even in modern greenhouses, it was difficult to achieve such a perfect scene. Undeniably, the combination of white snow and white lotus was charming and captivating. However, her thoughts were not on the beauty at this moment. It had been almost four years since she transmigrated. Most of that time was spent secluded in the Yao Ji Peak for cultivation, so she wasn't very sensitive about her changed identity. It seemed that whether she was a man or a woman was inconsequential to her. But Lin Jingyi's attitude towards her, treating her like a daughter-in-law, made her somewhat bewildered. She never expected the day would come when they would discuss marriage. And the other party was... her former Daoist partner. "Bai Junior Sister, what do you think of these white lotuses in the pond?" Mu Xinghe's voice drew closer as Bai Lian glanced over at her. Mu Xinghe had a symmetrical and slender figure, a handsome face, and her waist-length hair was meticulously styled, swaying gently with the breeze in her Daoist robe. Walking in the snow, she exuded a unique beauty. "Very beautiful," Bai Lian replied, unsure if she was answering Mu Xinghe's question or evaluating Mu Xinghe herself. "These white lotuses are well protected, but with them complementing the white snow, it seems a bit bland. Why not replace them with more colorful flowers?" Bai Lian suggested. "Because I like white lotuses," Mu Xinghe said. It was also the first time she had learned that Mistress Lin planted so many white lotus flowers at home. Perhaps it was because she had seen her taking care of the lotus in the pond at the Tian Shu God’s Peak, that she decided to grow them at home. She did indeed like white lotuses, but they were not the same as the ones here. "Oh... so Senior Sister Mu likes white lotus flowers?" Bai Lian blinked, lost in thought. Did Mu Xinghe like white lotus flowers? She recalled the plot in the game, but there seemed to be no mention of that. After all, the details of the female protagonists' favorite flowers were not set if they did not have a romance, since they would die without dual cultivation. In the plot, it seemed that Mu Xinghe preferred Baby's Breath flowers, right? That was a small flower commonly seen on the roadside, but with an extremely tenacious life, able to cover entire hillsides. It was a complete contrast to the noble and elegant white lotus flower. Had Mu Xinghe's taste changed after her rebirth? Bai Lian came to her senses, wanting to ask Mu Xinghe what she had told Mistress Lin and how to deal with being treated as a daughter-in-law. But as she opened her mouth, she felt that she and Mu Xinghe were still not familiar enough in this life to speak freely. Rashingly inquiring would be rather abrupt. Watching Bai Lian's indifferent expression, Mu Xinghe felt somewhat stifled. Even now, she still couldn't understand this person. Clearly, in many ways, she was exactly the same as her previous life, and her handling of things was as sharp as in her previous life. However, when it came to feelings, she was completely different from her previous life. Could it be that Bai Lian hadn't really been reborn? So, she had no response to her words, or maybe she was simply acting? "As for what Mistress Lin said, don't take it to heart. I have already explained it to her. After all, the two of us are women. Discussing marriage is really quite out of the ordinary," Mu Xinghe said. "Is that so," Bai Lian responded. Indeed, she was now a woman and could not possibly bring happiness to Mu Xinghe. Moreover, she had done those things to the female leads in her previous life; if she wanted to make amends now, it was probably just wishful thinking. Perhaps growing old alone was her best ending. But she felt inexplicably disappointed. Maybe she didn't want to see her once close partner drift further and further away from her. Bai Lian thought she had hidden her disappointment well, but Mu Xinghe's gaze had never left her, so how could she not notice? Her breath faltered, and the previous discomfort dissipated, replaced by a kind of pleasurable emotion. She suddenly leaned forward, pulling Bai Lian into her arms, looking at the startled Bai Lian with a mischievous smile. "Bai Junior Sister seems a little down. Could it be that, deep down, you really want to marry me?" Mu Xinghe teased. Bai Lian was dumbfounded. She looked at Mu Xinghe's mischievous expression and then became angry and embarrassed. "Who... who wants to marry you?!" She puffed up her cheeks in annoyance and instinctively wanted to twist Mu Xinghe's waist, but felt that such an action was too intimate, like teasing between partners. So she forcibly stopped her movement and instead lightly patted her, ending up as a scene of a blushing girl supporting her lover by the waist. Bai Lian was extremely embarrassed and bit her teeth, eventually giving Mu Xinghe a strong twist. "Ouch... that hurts," Mu Xinghe sucked in a breath, taken aback. Bai Lian quickly let go and gently patted the spot she had accidentally twisted. "Ouch..." Lin Jingyi happened to walk out of the door at this moment and witnessed the interaction between the two girls by the pond. She was slightly taken aback, not expecting Mu Xinghe to have such initiative. Could it be that she had inherited her father's traits? Then a tingling sensation of jealousy rose within her - these two girls dared to display affection in broad daylight! It was truly detestable! If she had such initiative back then, what would have become of Mu Xinghe's father? Thinking about it, it seemed that Mu Xinghe had no issue calling her 'aunt'! Then she remembered what Mu Xinghe had just said and couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile. In the end, it all came down to liking, didn't it? She was truly as stubborn as a defensive magic weapon, harder than ever to sway. The psychological activity of a middle-aged lovelorn dog was something the person involved was naturally unaware of. When Lin Jingyi saw Mu Xinghe coming out, Bai Lian immediately wriggled out of her embrace and faced Lin Jingyi with a slightly flushed face. "Auntie Lin, w-we were just having an argument. Sorry you had to see that," Bai Lian said, her cheeks slightly red. Lin Jingyi nodded in understanding, as if she were an experienced person, and said, "I understand. Young people, full of vigour, it's normal." "I won't disturb you. I'm leaving now." Bai Lian:? No, what do you understand?! We were really arguing but you saw it! However, although Lin Jingyi had been a single virgin for hundreds of years, she was also a high-ranking immortal. Before Bai Lian could speak, she disappeared directly. Bai Lian couldn't help but feel annoyed, glaring angrily at Mu Xinghe. "It's all your fault. You've made Auntie Lin misunderstand!" Shrugging, Mu Xinghe found that Bai Lian had a kind of magic, being by her side thickening her skin little by little. At the beginning, she had some scruples when they first met, but now, teasing Bai Lian was a breeze. As for the other messes, who cared? Have fun first! Seeing Mu Xinghe, who didn't mind being looked at like a dead pig without fear of scalding water, Bai Lian felt both angry and amused. Helpless, she said, "Never mind. I can't be bothered with you." "You just said you would tell me about the information on the Heavenly Star Spring water. So, what about the information?"
