86 - Douluo: Martial Spirit Blue Silver Grass

**Rebirth as The Malicious Senior Sister GL - Chapter 86** Although Fu Ling ran off in anger, what she truly desired deep down was for Jiu Ying to coax her and shower her with compliments. Both of them were outside the cave, only a few steps separating them. Jiu Ying slowly approached, and as soon as Fu Ling heard the footsteps, she knew that her senior sister was coming to placate her. Despite being overjoyed, she maintained a look of dissatisfaction on her face. When Jiu Ying reached her, Fu Ling turned away, and when Jiu Ying followed, she turned again, refusing to listen to what Jiu Ying had to say. The eighteen-year-old girl, even when throwing a tantrum, did so with such an endearing charm that it was astonishing. Jiu Ying had no other choice but to take hold of Fu Ling's wrist once more and pull her in front of her. Perhaps she used a bit more force, or maybe Fu Ling wasn't steady on her feet, but this little tug caused Fu Ling to fall right into her arms. The things seen and heard in the illusion last night had been so vivid. In an instant, Fu Ling recalled the kiss hidden in the darkness. Leaning against Jiu Ying's chest, with half her face buried against it, her cheeks burning hot, she stealthily clutched Jiu Ying's arm and turned her head, hiding her face entirely. She didn't want Jiu Ying to see her blushing. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful, with only the subtle sounds of the wind and water breaking the silence. Their posture was intimate, yet not to a degree that could be misinterpreted. Jiu Ying didn’t think much of it. Seeing Fu Ling remain motionless in her embrace, she let her be. Her gaze softly fell on the girl’s untidy hair, gently moving down to her small, delicate pink ears, which were beautifully shaped and adorably tempting to pinch. At this moment, she couldn't help but admit that in both character and appearance, this life’s Fu Ling was more appealing than her past self. Although it was the same face, the feeling it gave was entirely different. Jiu Ying, unable to understand why, nevertheless softened her expression and spoke in a more gentle tone. **"Does your palm still hurt?"** Mentioning this brought back all of Fu Ling’s displeasure. She released her hold from Jiu Ying’s arm and directly hugged her waist instead. After a moment of silence, she replied grumpily, **"It hurt a lot last night, but now it doesn't. This flesh wound can be endured, but the scolding from my senior sister wounded my heart. My hand pain can be treated, but how does one heal a heartache?"** These words were clearly filled with petulance. Only now did Jiu Ying realize that Fu Ling was much better than her at being sweet and coy. In all her past life, she could never have uttered such words. She pressed her lips together, a smile already forming at the corners before she could react. She knew what Fu Ling wanted to hear, yet stubbornly refused to say it, waiting for Fu Ling to voice it herself. **“What do you want me to do then?”** Hearing this, Fu Ling's face flushed even more, her lips moved slightly before she bashfully spoke out, **"Can't senior sister praise me? You used to always comfort me when I was upset!"** With the words laid out so plainly, Jiu Ying knew that if she pretended to be oblivious any longer, this young lady might truly get upset. She smiled gently, took a moment to gather her thoughts, and finally said the pleasing words Fu Ling desired— **“I was angry only at myself, not at you. An ancient demon entered the world and I didn’t consider it deeply, which led to the trap set by the witch, nearly causing both our deaths.”** **“You saved me once by driving away the witch and a second time by extracting my bone last night. You always think of yourself as a burden, but in truth, if it were only me out there, I would surely have become the witch's prisoner.”** **“Fu Ling, you are extraordinary and brilliant. One day, without the aid of illusions, you'll defeat those two witches and everyone else in this world. Don't ever think you're lacking, because you are not inferior to anyone, understand?”** Compliments flowed into her ear, making Fu Ling's heart feel sweet and tender, and she couldn't suppress the smile forming on her lips. Though her mood improved, she still wasn’t completely satisfied since Jiu Ying had only praised her without soothing her distress. Finally releasing her hold, she reluctantly left that comforting embrace. Though she wore a smile, her words were still unruly. **“You praised me, but what else?”** What else? Jiu Ying furrowed her brows in confusion, but when she caught Fu Ling’s bashful and expectant glance, realization struck her immediately. Besides praise, she needed comforting. Comforting is hard. But comforting Fu Ling was simple; just two words would suffice. Jiu Ying chuckled softly. As soon Fu Ling turned away, she knew exactly how to make things right. Opening her mouth, she found it unexpectedly difficult to utter those two words she wanted to say. After hesitating for a long moment, faced with Fu Ling’s dissatisfied glare, she finally called out the most familiar yet foreign name to her— **“Ling Ling.”** Ling Ling, a name that once belonged to Jiu Ying in her past life. Fu Ling loved it when those closest to her would use this nickname. So affectionate, so filled with love. Since reincarnation, having known Fu Ling for so long, Jiu Ying had never called her that, unlike the other people in the sect. The reason was simple; it was a name that once belonged to Jiu Ying herself. Allowing it to be used for someone else now signified that they were completely distinct individuals. This lifetime, she was Jiu Ying, and Fu Ling would always be Fu Ling. Jiu Ying looked at Fu Ling, who gave no reaction, prompting her to gently call again, **“Ling Ling.”** Hearing it again, Fu Ling quickly turned away, though her lips secretly curved upwards. Just as Jiu Ying predicted, soothing Fu Ling didn’t require any elaborate words. As her senior sister, a single call of ‘Ling Ling’ was enough. The atmosphere grew quiet. Jiu Ying found Fu Ling's reaction to the nickname exceedingly cute, inciting her to tease a bit more by calling out again, **“Ling Ling?”** Three times, the call made Fu Ling's heart race, her cheeks burning red with the excitement. Turning her head, she swiftly glanced at Jiu Ying, catching the fleeting grin in her eyes, realizing she'd been teased once again. Truly, a young girl with a crush, flustered under the gaze of her beloved. Who could possibly resist? Especially when Jiu Ying was so stunningly beautiful and sophisticated. Fu Ling’s heart thumped wildly, her cheeks heated further, and in her shy annoyance, she could only glare fiercely in return. **“Don’t call me that again!”** Though she forbade it, hearing those two words brought more joy to her than anything else. Jiu Ying let her lips curve into a smile, seeing Fu Ling embarrassed to this extent, she nodded in agreement, **“Alright, I won’t call you that anymore. From now on, I’ll call you Fu Ling, and leave ‘Ling Ling’ for others in the sect.”** Hearing this, Fu Ling grew anxious, shaking her head without a second thought, **“No! I only meant not at that moment, but now it's okay again!”** Such an earnest response made Jiu Ying chuckle. She thought, as Fu Ling grows a little more, there would undoubtedly be many male cultivators vying for her attention. With the argument resolved, the two grew closer once more. Last night, Fu Ling had finished sorting all three colors of bones. The pile of bones nearly filled the entire cave, raising the question of how to properly handle them. Recalling the witch's previous words, Jiu Ying couldn’t help but worry. Leaving these remains here would attract both demons and monsters seeking power. After all, these bones still contained the spiritual energy of ancient spirits and demons. Rather than let them be used to boost the strength of monsters, it was better to destroy them completely. Jiu Ying, seeing no alternative, asked Fu Ling to gather dry wood in the cave, planning to burn everything down to ensure no remnants remained. The white bones were relics of the celestial beings, and Fu Ling, harboring respect and awe for the divine, took Jiu Ying’s hand and solemnly bowed before the pile before setting it ablaze. They said the divine spirits were kind-hearted and protected all, yet the tragedies of her past life had cast doubt on this belief for Jiu Ying. Watching Fu Ling's sincere devotion stirred something within Jiu Ying, causing her to bow as well. Once they had watched the three piles of bones burn to ash, the pair finally felt at ease to leave. Depleted of their spiritual energy, and unable to gather more in the fog-covered forest, they had no choice but to walk out on foot. Looking out, they saw only an endless stretch of towering trees, unsure how long it would take to get out. Fu Ling dreaded hardship and fatigue, but with Jiu Ying by her side, even walking became an entertaining endeavor. Walking side by side, it wasn't long before Fu Ling began panting with exhaustion. Though her hands were empty, each step felt unbearably heavy as though weighed down by something. After just a few steps, cold sweat dotted her forehead, her legs trembled uncontrollably, struggling to even stand. **“Senior sister, I'm so tired of walking.”** The young girl couldn’t bear it anymore and finally voiced her suffering. Jiu Ying paused upon hearing this and only then noticed something unusual about Fu Ling. "Give me your hand." She furrowed her brows slightly, her expression growing serious. Without waiting for Fu Ling to respond, her slender fingers lifted Fu Ling's sleeve, firmly grasping the delicate wrist. There was no need for spiritual energy probing; Jiu Ying could immediately discern where the problem lay. Fu Ling felt exhausted not because of any external burden but because there was something inside her that didn't belong to her. What it was, however, couldn’t be identified just by checking her pulse. Jiu Ying released her grip, brought her index finger to her lips and bit it, allowing a drop of dragon blood to blend with her spiritual energy before holding Fu Ling’s palm again. She attempted to guide her spiritual energy through Fu Ling's meridians, but as soon as it entered her arm, an overwhelmingly powerful force suddenly emerged, directly expelling her spiritual energy! It was simply unbelievable! This was dragon blood-refined spiritual energy; ordinary spiritual energy couldn’t possibly resist it, let alone repel it so effortlessly. Jiu Ying couldn’t believe it. She pressed her thumb against her index finger, squeezing out two more drops of blood. This time, she sent the refined dragon blood directly into Fu Ling's dantian, but unexpectedly, the strange energy within Fu Ling pushed it back again, and the returning spiritual energy was significantly weakened, as if it had been instantly scattered. "What did you touch in the cave?" Jiu Ying looked up, unease flickering in her eyes. Fu Ling felt increasingly burdened, lacking even the strength to speak. She took a deep breath, her legs giving way, and fell back into Jiu Ying's arms. Seeing the worry in Jiu Ying's eyes made fear rise within her as well. She recalled everything she had done in the cave and, after a moment's hesitation, carefully replied, "I didn’t touch anything, except—except for those bones." --- Fu Ling Ling is truly adorable; treasure her while she still is this coy little thing. Hahaha. Senior Sister really has a way of teasing. Suddenly, I can imagine them in the future, in bed, as Senior Sister calls “Ling Ling” and does this and that to Fu Ling, quite an exciting thought.
