Chapter 23 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

023. Mu Jianli Fulfilled Mu Jianli's eyelids were cast down, gently caressing Bai Lian's smooth waist and abdomen. In her previous life, her senior brother often said to her: Everyone's desires are different, some fancy the chest, some the legs, some are fond of graceful feet, and some wouldn't even let go of a blasted mushroom. But he was different—he was simply lecherous. She didn't know what he was referring to with 'forked path' and 'great spraying mushroom'—after all, her senior brother often said things that others couldn't understand. But now, she seemed to gain some understanding of those words. She especially adored Bai Lian's waist—slender, fair, and tender, as if it was the finest suet jade in the world, irresistibly touchable. More than once, she fantasized about that delicate willow-like waist undulating, writhing, twitching beneath her. Mu Jianli inhaled deeply and raised her hand to massage her brow. How had she become like this? As if her mind was inundated with thoughts of that sort of activity, when before, she was solely focused on sword practice, believing in a heart devoid of romantic distractions, drawing the sword to reveal divine prowess. She hadn't expected that even after reincarnation, the influence of the dual cultivation technique on the soul was still not eradicated. Senior brother... your crime is immense... Even if you became a woman, I will definitely not forgive you. "Bai Lian, I hope you truly are my senior brother; otherwise... Jianli will be committing an offense," she whispered as she gazed at Bai Lian's serene sleeping face. As to whether the other party was indeed the senior brother from her memory, she would discover that once her plan succeeded. She was in no hurry. Calculating the time when the Enthralling Incense would lose its effect, she dressed Bai Lian gently with her undergarment and clothes, then Mu Jianli left straight away. She needed to deal with the bugs. It was only a good while later that Bai Lian opened her eyes. By that time, her eyes were not so lucid—instead filled with the perplexity and puzzlement after arousal. The spiritual power that had been suppressing her body's reactions dissipated with a boom after Mu Jianli left, and her fair skin soon flushed pink. She gasped lightly, feeling as though there was a fire in her heart, and her entire body began to feel hot and weak, almost as if she wanted to shred off all her clothes. This isn't right... There is something wrong with this Enthralling Incense... No matter how confident Bai Lian was in her knowledge of the game, she had now realized that something was amiss. Although in the game, the Enthralling Incense was one of the very important props, since she followed the pure love harem route, she rarely resorted to the somewhat shady means of using Enthralling Incense. Moreover, the game didn't describe the incense in detail, so she subconsciously thought it was just ordinary incense. But what kind of incense would have an aphrodisiac effect?! Did Jianli... know about this effect of the Enthralling Incense? If she knew, then what exactly was she trying to do? The heat in her body plunged her thoughts into chaos, making it impossible for Bai Lian to figure out Mu Jianli's purpose. At this moment, she unprecedentedly hated her own behavior of not paying attention to the plot for the sake of titillation— Why was Jianli suffering from an internal injury? What kind of injury? How did she get it? Apart from being affected by the aphrodisiacal formation, were there other effects? She had skipped all these important plot points, just to see the CG where Mu Jianli displayed affection for her, willingly throwing herself into her arms. She had meticulously researched the guide before playing the game, understanding each female lead's personality, preferences, and information, so why couldn't she be bothered to stop and carefully watch the plot in the game? Perhaps being cut down by the woodcutter's ending was the retribution for her indifference... Even now falling into this predicament, it was just a part of the backlash. Her consciousness increasingly fogged, she had to curl up into a ball, her legs rubbing against each other continuously, as if she could feel a certain stickiness. In the haziness, Mu Jianli's figure seemed to appear before her eyes, making her unable to help but want to lean in and seek solace to extinguish the burning desire in her heart. Right, Jianli is right next door. Just going to find her will do. It's okay; she was originally Bai Lian, just having turned into a woman. What's wrong with seeking Jianli to solve her problem? Jianli will definitely be willing to do that with her, right? After all, they had done it so many times in the game... Even if she turned into a ball of fluff... Bai Lian's muddled consciousness suddenly cleared up; the Heart Calming Mantra that had been unable to operate due to the outbreak of lust began to lessen the heat in her heart. "Not... like this, I absolutely can't let Jianli know..." That's the only way... ... Lying on the bed with a blank stare, Bai Lian was spread out in the shape of a big character. Since her rebirth three years ago, she lived every moment in a sense of crisis, having to focus all her thoughts on disguising herself and cultivating. As such, even though she transmigrated into a lascivious world, she had no such carnal thoughts. In a sense, in this life, she was truly consistent inside and out, pure as ice and jade. But now, she lost self-control due to the Enthralling Incense, indulging herself in pleasure. If it weren't for her early preparations, using spiritual power to suppress her desire, holding off until Mu Jianli had left before erupting, she might very well have lost herself and given in to her desires in front of Mu Jianli. No... perhaps she would have taken the initiative? And then that lass would have devoured her to the core, turning her into a ball of fluff, locking her in the basement to train her into a juicing princess. She might as well be dead. Sighing faintly, Bai Lian propped herself up, sitting with a somewhat sore waist. The drenched bedding could be dealt with a cleansing talisman, but the stickiness on her body could not be dispelled with magic. At times like these, only a bath with clear water could remove the odd feelings in her heart. Time for a bath, then. Entering the bathroom that was partitioned with curtains in her room, Bai Lian formed a hand seal, and a ball of clear water appeared out of thin air, filling the empty wooden tub. She shed her garments, revealing her proudly standing figure, the bright moonlight shining through the window onto her body, casting silvery halos, making her appear even more holy. With a wooden ladle, she scooped water, the sound of trickling water echoing. Lifting her gaze towards the crescent moon outside the window, she felt a bit anxious. When she was still a man, charging forth without hindrance, now having turned into a woman, she felt an indescribable sense of shame. So embarrassing... thankfully, Jianli didn't see... Outside the door, Mu Jianli hugged her knees, listening to the splashing water, also watching the moon. Just as in her previous life, spiritual power was able to activate the medicinal primer within the senior brother's body. She didn't expect the Enthralling Incense to be so potent without the Sword Heart Clarity. No wonder even the cloud-ascending monks could hardly resist. And... The senior brother's voice was really pleasing to the ear. She wanted to hear it again; perhaps she should use the Enthralling Incense once more later. No, too much would be unbearable for the senior brother. She couldn't bear it either, for the senior brother's sounds were too delightful, yet she was still not supposed to act rashly. Moreover, she had serious matters to attend to at the moment. She glanced to her side, where the body of a person clad in black lay, a sword mark on the corpse's brow without a trace of blood. This was a cultivator, but only at the nascent stage of cultivation. Judging from the aura of his cultivation technique, he should be a mole planted by the demonic cult within the Tang family. Mu Jianli frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. In her previous life... the cult had not infiltrated the Tang family so soon; it had started only after she had been injured and returned to the sect for recuperation. And it was even a cultivator. Considering that the Tang family held a divining artifact bestowed by the Taihua Sword Sect, which could detect cultivators, ordinary cultivators could not have entered the Tang family without making a sound. Could it be that someone from the Tang family was assisting them? Who could it be? Unable to understand, she might as well ask the senior brother. Thinking so, she heard that the water sounds inside had quieted down, and the rustling of clothing could be heard. Thus she knocked on the door and said, "Senior sister, Jianli is coming in." "Eek—" "Wait, wait a minute, no way!" A startled voice came from within. Mu Jianli was fulfilled.
