Chapter 155 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

The guqin player, though a bit silly-looking, was surprisingly efficient and quickly prepared everything Bai Lian had requested. Due to the recent battle, Xiao Wei Yang was covered in sweat and dirt, her face grimy, devoid of the usual pride of a princess, appearing more like a pitiful little girl. Bai Lian first tested the water temperature with her hand, then sat Xiao Wei Yang up and undressed her. Soon, Xiao Wei Yang's figure, wrapped in ornate clothing, was fully revealed. It had to be said that this girl was indeed worthy of being recognized as the most beautiful princess of Da Xia. Even before reaching adulthood, she possessed a delicate, doll-like beauty, and her skin, concealed beneath the clothes, was naturally rosy and fair, like the glow of dawn on snow. Bai Lian had expected to feel embarrassed upon seeing Xiao Wei Yang's body, but oddly, she remained unusually calm, as if devoid of any worldly desires. After all, she and Wei Yang were so intimate in the game, having already seen what should and shouldn't be seen. Moreover, Wei Yang was still young, unlike the legitimate Lolita, Miao. No, no. Shaking off the jumble of thoughts in her mind, Bai Lian began carefully washing Xiao Wei Yang. After cleaning off the sweat and dirt from Xiao Wei Yang's body, Bai Lian employed the Pure Water Technique. The previously soiled bathwater instantly became clean, with barely any change in temperature. Following this, she sprinkled the prepared Soul-Calming Powder into the water, then lightly tapped Xiao Wei Yang's forehead with two fingers, beginning to regulate her spirit. After a while, Xiao Wei Yang slowly opened her eyes and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although now in the early stage of the Teng Yun realm, using spiritual power to purify Xiao Wei Yang's heart and cure the poison had greatly depleted her, making her feel a bit strained. She looked up, only to find Xiao Wei Yang had woken up at some point and was gazing at her quietly. Embarrassed by her gaze, Bai Lian couldn't help but ask, "Wei Yang, why are you looking at me like that?" "Big Sister Bai, did you undress me while I was unconscious?" Xiao Wei Yang seemed entirely unconcerned about her naked state, watching Bai Lian with an amused tilt of her head. "Hmm," said Bai Lian, feeling a bit awkward. Why did she suddenly feel as if she were being scolded for doing something naughty... After all, she hadn't felt any worldly desires earlier, to the extent that she could have ascended directly to the lotus throne at the Little Bliss Temple! She turned her head and explained softly, "You were emotionally stirred by the Heart-Bewildering Demon and affected by its mind-controlling poison, falling into a coma. I had to undress you to detoxify you." "If you mind, I apologize." Hearing Bai Lian's guilt-laden voice, Xiao Wei Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter. Blushing slightly, Bai Lian asked with embarrassment, "What's so funny?" "I just think, Big Sister Bai, that you're so silly and cute," Xiao Wei Yang giggled. "If it weren't for you, I might have become the Heart-Bewildering Demon's prey. Ultimately, I should thank you." "Why do you look so guilty even though you saved me?" "Besides, we're both girls. It's nothing to be ashamed of if we've seen a few glances." "It's you, Big Sister Bai," she teased, with a sly look, "who's unexpectedly innocent." Provoked by her, Bai Lian felt both embarrassed and irritated. This brat, she had barely woken up from unconsciousness and was already teasing her. She had thought earlier that she was a good child. Bah! What a good child, clearly a rebellious enemy who betrays her masters! Feeling a mixture of embarrassment and anger, she decided not to indulge Xiao Wei Yang's teasing and asked seriously, "Now is not the time for such frivolous talk. How do you feel now?" Watching Bai Lian's professional demeanor, Xiao Wei Yang blinked in surprise. From Bai Lian's mouth, the phrase "Now is not the time for such frivolous talk" sounded just like what her teacher would say in her past life, making her blush with shame. Although it was still uncertain whether Bai Lian was truly the teacher, she subconsciously overlaid Bai Lian's demeanor with the image from her memories. The result was indeed the pure and noble countenance rumored about. This feeling... was truly novel. And the way she blushed slightly, suppressing her embarrassment while displaying a serious expression, was really cute... Does Big Sister Bai know she's this cute? She really wanted to continue teasing her and make her show more cute expressions! No, she couldn't, she should take it slow. If Big Sister Bai is truly the resurrected teacher, then she can tease her without worry... While Xiao Wei Yang's thoughts were racing, she didn't show any overt attachment, instead replying calmly to Bai Lian's question. "I feel fine physically. But I seem to have lost some memories. I only remember the Heart-Bewildering Demon taking the form of my dream's white lotus, then I knew nothing until I woke up and found myself being completely candid with Big Sister Bai," she said, winking at Bai Lian. The infuriating little vixen. Bai Lian gritted her teeth. But she couldn't help but feel relieved—Wei Yang had indeed lost those memories. She had been anxious when she saw the Heart-Bewildering Demon resembling her former self, harming Wei Yang. Although she was aware that Wei Yang had probably lost consciousness, relying solely on her instinct supported by the Phoenix True Intention, her subsequent actions seemed a bit reckless. If Wei Yang hadn't lost consciousness, she would have lost everything. Therefore, regaining her composure now, she couldn't help but worry that Xiao Wei Yang might remember what had happened. Thankfully, nothing unexpected had come to light. "It's normal. The Heart-Bewildering Demon's methods may seem simple, but they actually affect the spirit. A powerful Heart-Bewildering Demon can even alter its host's memory. Your soul entered a state of sleep to protect itself," she explained. "Is that so," Xiao Wei Yang said, slightly disinterested in having her teasing ignored. She then put an end to her playful antics and mused, "But after waking up, I feel much more at ease. It's as if some kind of obsession has been released. Could something have happened while I was unconscious?" At Xiao Wei Yang's words, Bai Lian was momentarily startled, recalling the moment when Wei Yang had wept in her arms. Perhaps her genuine emotions at that time had allowed her to release the pent-up emotions deep within herself, hence feeling much lighter. Lowering her eyelids, she chose not to directly answer Xiao Wei Yang's question. It seemed that only when Wei Yang lost consciousness did she truly reveal her feelings, and Bai Lian only dared to show her most sincere thoughts during those moments. Though they had already opened up to each other, in the end, they still had to address each other as sisters. Truly, fate plays its games.
