Chapter 34: Back to the Sword Sect~~

The next day.

The temperature dropped sharply, and it was much colder.

In the courtyard of the Sword Sect, Song Ruoxue stood alone and cold, gazing at the clouds and mist on the horizon, lost in thought.

Recalling everything that had happened in Sunset Glow Village, her feelings were mixed.

‘That dragon girl had fled with Little Li… she didn’t know where they had gone.’

‘As expected, their relationship is very good. They went on a date to eat together, went to rob the spirit stones of the Martial Slaughter Sect together, and fled with a tacit understanding… where would they go after they fled?’

‘Would they do more intimate things?’

Song Ruoxue admitted that she had changed. Ever since what had happened a few days ago, she had paid special attention to her junior sister, to the point of an excessive longing. When she was eating, sleeping, or doing nothing, she would think of Su Li’er’s sweet smile.

And that moment, the dazzling and petite back that stood in front of her.

And that lingering and painful kiss.

‘Perhaps it was much more than that in their long time together, with that bowl of spiritual medicine and care every day and every night, her feelings for her junior sister had slowly deepened.’

‘But is this really a good thing?’

Song Ruoxue’s eyes drooped slightly.

‘Little Li is still young, at an age of ignorance. Slowly, she will eventually have someone she truly cares about, someone she likes…’

And this feeling, for her now, seems too early.

She felt a little tired. Because she hadn’t slept at all last night, Song Ruoxue’s complexion was a little haggard. Seeing Su Li’er go on a date and adventure with another woman, Song Ruoxue was sad all night. When she realized that she was jealous, she tossed and turned even more, unable to sleep.

‘Little Li is free to choose what kind of life she wants.’

‘Who she wants to care about, who she wants to value, is also her choice.’

‘So, Song Ruoxue, you should put away your thoughts. The relationship between you two should not cross the line. The heartbeat and feelings from before, just bury them for now.’

The cold wind blew against her face, lifting a few strands of black hair. Song Ruoxue’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. She closed her eyes, her breathing becoming small and faint.

‘At the same time, there was another suspicious point: is Little Li really the nine-tailed fox… lurking by my side?’

‘There is a world of difference between the appearance of a human and a demon-kin.’

‘Perhaps I should change my way of thinking… Little Li is an undercover agent sent by that nine-tailed fox?’

‘If that’s true…’

This idea is crazy.

The moment this thought appeared, Song Ruoxue shook her head and opened her eyes.

The moment this thought appeared, Song Ruoxue shook her head and opened her eyes.

‘Before there is conclusive evidence, I cannot make wild guesses.’

‘All in all, I’ll go back to my room and sleep.’

With heavy steps, Song Ruoxue slowly walked back to her bedroom. Looking at the empty room, her heart also became empty. Usually at this time, Junior Sister would bring in a bowl of lean meat congee, hand it over with a smile, and even pretend to be a little adult, admonishing, “Sect Master, you must eat breakfast!”

‘Forget it.’

‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t eat.’

Song Ruoxue lay on her hard bed and closed her eyes.

The fatigue of a sleepless night washed over her, but her mind was exceptionally chaotic, and her mood was extremely irritable. Once she closed her eyes, all sorts of beautiful memories from the past would rush towards her, each frame making her emotions surge.

The spiritual energy in her body also surged wantonly.

Song Ruoxue opened her eyes, her expression grave.

‘My Dao heart is in turmoil.’

‘Forget it, I’ll go into seclusion to cultivate my heart.’

It just so happens that I couldn’t get the Nirvana Divine Herb from the Martial Slaughter Sect either. I’ll try to repair the crack in my life origin on my own.

****

In the Wishing General Store, the years were quiet and good.

—”Ah!!! So refreshing!”

A manly man gets out of bed.

Su Li’er did a perfect front flip and landed, stretching languidly.

The birds chirped outside the window, and a trace of coolness seeped into the room. Su Li’er shivered, and the last bit of sleepiness was completely gone. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, picked out a thick coat from the closet, and put it on. Only then did she feel a little warmer.

The weather has suddenly cooled down.

Looking out the window, Su Li’er roughly judged that it should be around nine-thirty in the morning now.

‘Ok ok.’

‘It’s time to set off for the Sword Sect~~~’

‘I wonder if the big ice cold Sect Master has missed me~~’

Su Li’er sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair with anticipation. First, I’ll tidy up my appearance, then I’ll think about how to explain to the big ice cold Sect Master.

‘Where did I go yesterday?’

‘How about I say I went back to my parents’ house for the Mid-Autumn Festival?’

‘Emm… that doesn’t feel right.’

‘How about I say I went out to relax and played by myself for a day?’

‘That’s it, that’s it, I’ll use this reason!’

With this thought, Su Li’er lifted the curtain and walked out of the bedroom. She rummaged around in the general store and soon found a hairpin with a heart-shaped pattern. It was very cute. This hairpin was handmade by her in her previous life when she had nothing to do. Although it still had some roughness from the handmade work, there was a saying that goes something like that.

‘It’s the thought that counts when giving a gift!’

‘And then, and then, I have to find something else… let me think~~’

‘Oh right, I’ll also bring a knitted scarf!’

This was worn by Su Li’er herself in her previous life. It’s a very pretty khaki color and has been left in the general store all this time.

It just so happens that the weather has gotten colder. The big ice cold Sect Master has a cold constitution and is definitely afraid of the cold. ‘This will be perfect~~’

Su Li’er smiled as she held the scarf, a hairpin clenched in her palm. She was already starting to fantasize about the expression on Song Ruoxue’s face when she received the gift!

The big ice cold Sect Master, Song Ruoxue, hadn’t seen her junior sister for a day and was already unable to hold back her longing. She thought she would have to wait another two or three days to see her junior sister. She was lonely, staring blankly at the sky… after staring blankly, she went back to her room to sleep.

The very next second after she fell into a daze, Junior Sister made a shining debut and even thoughtfully presented her with a handmade gift… then helped the big ice block Sect Master put on the hairpin and intimately wrapped the scarf around her neck!

‘Heavens, so touching!’

‘My junior sister is so cute, so heartwarming!’

‘This will directly make the big ice block Sect Master’s affection level go up up up!’

Finally, at a time when the ambiguous atmosphere is at its peak, Junior Sister will pounce into the big ice cold Sect Master’s arms and say pitifully, “Sect Master, Little Li misses you so much, I think about you every moment!”

‘Wow, a killer move!’

‘While the big ice block Sect Master is stunned and her heart is pounding, I’ll kiss her again… then use my pure little hands to warm up the big ice block Sect Master~~~’

‘When the Sect Master wants to resist, I’ll act coquettishly and ask for a kiss, and continue to stick together.’

‘We will do it one more time to completely break down the Ice Cube Sect Leader’s mental defenses, make her submit to my charms, and become my most reliable experience point!’

Hehe~~

Su Li’er couldn’t help but giggle. Great, the plan is going smoothly. Now all she has to do is wait to extend her lifespan!

‘Let’s get going without delay!’

—Click.

She crushed the teleportation stone and appeared in the Sword Sect’s grove the next moment. Even in broad daylight, it was cold enough. Su Li’er shivered and quickly ran up the mountain with her scarf in her hand.

‘It’s so cold, so cold, so cold.’

‘Is it going to snow?’

Upon reaching the mountain gate, the spacious courtyard was filled with fallen leaves. Each step crushed a leaf, producing a crisp sound.

Su Li’er walked eagerly toward the dormitory.

The dormitory door was left a crack.

‘Huh? The door isn’t closed?’

Su Li’er was pleasantly surprised, a smile appearing on her lips. Sure enough, the Ice cold Sect Leader had been waiting for me all along!

—Knock knock.

She freed one hand and gently knocked on the door, then Su Li’er called out perfunctorily, “Sect Leader, Little Li is coming in~”

Having said that, she expertly pushed the door open with her toes.

Su Li’er stepped lightly into the dormitory.
