Running Off With The Sect Senior Sister Chapter 42

“Tsk.” The more Luo Tangtang thought about it, the more embarrassed and annoyed she became. She flopped onto her stomach on the bed, buried her face in her pillow, and rolled around a few times.
“Tail, tail,” Luo Tangtang said, resting her chin on her hands. Suddenly, she wanted to let her tail out for some air.
Luo Tangtang very cautiously closed the door tightly.
“Ah—!”
A moment later, a terrified scream pierced the air.
“How could this be?” Luo Tangtang wailed, tugging at her tail.
It was still the same tail, but why was the fur gone? Her tail was bald… There was nothing on her tail anymore. What was going on?
“Knock, knock.” Just as Luo Tangtang stood there, stunned as if struck by lightning and feeling utterly hopeless, a knock came from the door.
Yun Shayi’s voice sounded. “Junior Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Mmph.” Luo Tangtang quickly covered her mouth. “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
“Then, may I come in?”
Luo Tangtang’s gaze shifted to her bare tail, and she instantly panicked. She quickly said, “No, no, I’m changing clothes!”
She couldn’t see Yun Shayi’s expression, but from the shadow reflected outside the door, Yun Shayi’s hand on the door seemed to move slightly.
Luo Tangtang covered her face. Given their current relationship, what’s the big deal about her coming in while I’m changing clothes!
After feeling annoyed with herself for a moment, Luo Tangtang quickly retracted her tail and hurried to open the door.
“Senior Sister.” Luo Tangtang awkwardly touched the tip of her nose.
“You changed clothes?” Yun Shayi’s gaze swept Luo Tangtang up and down. Her clothes were disheveled, and she was still wearing the same undergarment Yun Shayi had changed her into earlier, completely unchanged. But when Yun Shayi’s eyes landed on Luo Tangtang’s hand, which was tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, her gaze suddenly deepened, a faint light flickering within.
“Ah… um, yes, I changed, I think,” Luo Tangtang said with a dry laugh.
“Hey, Senior Sister, did you see anything strange earlier?”
“Strange… things?” Yun Shayi looked up and quietly gazed at Luo Tangtang, something seeming to flash in her eyes.
Luo Tangtang wanted to see more clearly, but Yun Shayi had already returned to her usual expressionless face.
“Yes, like some animal fur or something. You know, some small animals like to play in the spring water.”
Luo Tangtang controlled her facial expression to make herself look casual.
“I didn’t see any animal fur, but I seemed to have touched a strange object.”
“A strange… object.” Luo Tangtang instantly perked up. “What kind of thing was it?” she asked, her eyes darting around.
“It felt a bit hard.”
Luo Tangtang’s body stiffened. She slowly raised her head.
“Then, did Senior Sister see anything?”
Yun Shayi seemed to think for a moment. “No, I didn’t have the time back then.”
“You know.” Her eyes stared directly into Luo Tangtang’s, as deep as a lake. Just a gust of wind could stir up tumultuous waves and swallow her whole.
Luo Tangtang’s eyes flickered immediately.
“Are we going back to the sect now?”
“No, Elder Zhiwang said we need to go to North Capital.”
“Go to North Capital?” Luo Tangtang was a little surprised.
They had come from North Capital, and there was also that strange woman in the black robe. But most importantly… Luo Tangtang looked up and gazed deeply at Yun Shayi.
System, I’ve been feeling lately that Eldest Senior Sister is a bit strange.
The moment Yun Shayi turned to leave, Luo Tangtang hurriedly asked the system.
What? You suspect she’s been possessed? The system’s somewhat muffled voice sounded, speaking irritably. It sounded a bit grumpy.
No. For once, Luo Tangtang didn’t argue with the system. She was surprisingly quiet at this moment, her small face tense and serious.
It’s just that her aura, or something, feels different.
System: “…” Her intuition is quite sharp.
Ahem. The system cleared its electronic throat.
You might be mistaken. The system has detected no issues.
No issues? Luo Tangtang lowered her eyes, her expression complicated. She kept feeling that something was wrong, that everything was off.
Huge sails billowed in the air. Luo Tangtang found an empty corner, lightly jumped onto the cloud boat, and sat on its edge. The hem of her snow-white clothes fluttered in the wind. She rarely wore white before. For some reason, she suddenly thought of that woman who looked almost identical to her, always dressed in plain white.
Today, as if by some whim, she had changed into white clothes. Luo Tangtang looked down and could see the swirling clouds and mist below. Everything looked tiny. With a gentle grasp of her hand, it felt like she could hold onto anything.
She had forgotten many things.
From the very beginning of her memories, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw the system.
The system told her that she had to complete tasks one by one to have her own life.
So, she didn’t resist, didn’t ask questions. Like a walking corpse, she followed the system’s prompts and completed tasks step by step.
Then who was she before? What had she forgotten?
A flash of insight sparked in her mind. Her sea of consciousness instantly went blank. A stabbing pain shot through her, as if her entire being was being torn apart.
“How could this be?”
“What exactly have I forgotten?”
“Ah—!” Luo Tangtang desperately clutched her head, trying to lessen the pain. But whenever she tried to explore that forbidden area in her mind, the pain intensified.
“Hiss.” Her body suddenly went limp, and a feeling of weightlessness washed over her.
Not good. Luo Tangtang’s heart skipped a beat as her body began to fall.
Suddenly, someone wrapped their arms around her. The next moment, Luo Tangtang was pulled down by her waist. It wasn’t until her body collided with a warm torso and stayed there for a while that Luo Tangtang finally reacted.
“What are you doing?” Yun Shayi’s expression was somewhat cold.
“Gentle… be gentle.” Yun Shayi was gripping her hand with some force, hurting her.
“I just wasn’t paying attention for a moment, I wanted to get some air.” Yun Shayi’s eyes were dark and heavy. Luo Tangtang felt a little scared being stared at by Yun Shayi, her hair standing on end.
“Wanted to get some air?” Yun Shayi seemed to smile, the corner of her mouth curving up slightly. It was barely noticeable.
A vein throbbed a few times on Luo Tangtang’s forehead. After a long moment, she said hoarsely, “Yes.”
“Alright then.” Yun Shayi took a deep breath.
Expressions Luo Tangtang had never imagined seeing before now appeared on Yun Shayi’s face.
“Then I’ll take you to see.”
Suddenly, Yun Shayi spoke.
Luo Tangtang: “?”
“Take you to get some air.” Yun Shayi suddenly winked at Luo Tangtang. But before Luo Tangtang could be stunned, Yun Shayi’s own expression stiffened slightly.
“Let’s go.” After saying that, Yun Shayi grabbed Luo Tangtang’s hand. The next moment, they soared into the air, instantly moving away from the flying ship.
Luo Tangtang’s eyes widened. She looked at the scenery before her with some novelty. Her palms were a bit clammy with nervous sweat, and she gripped Yun Shayi’s hand tightly. The two of them had secretly left the cloud boat like this, without telling anyone.
“Is this okay for us to do?” Luo Tangtang asked.
Yun Shayi seemed to shrug indifferently. “We’ve already been out for a while. What’s the point of asking now?”
Eldest Senior Sister, your character design is collapsing.
Luo Tangtang helplessly facepalmed, but she felt that this Yun Shayi was the real Yun Shayi.
Just like the one she had seen in the Extreme North Realm.
“Long time no see.”
On a distant hill, a woman wearing a black robe and a red-veiled conical hat suddenly stood up.
They were clearly far apart, and the black-robed person merely parted her lips slightly, yet her voice reached their ears accurately and clearly.
“Why is it you again? We haven’t even reached North Capital yet?” Luo Tangtang asked, her tone surprised.
“I just came to deliver a message,” the black-robed woman said faintly.
“Deliver a message?”
“Yes, to advise you to run quickly,” the black-robed woman said.
“Hurry up and flee for your lives.” Seeing Luo Tangtang’s confused face, she added unhurriedly.
“What do you mean?” Yun Shayi pressed her lips together, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
“All over the continent, many crystal coffins have appeared. Inside them…” The black-robed person turned her head to look at Yun Shayi, her voice carrying a profound, meaningful tone. “Inside each lies a person, someone who looks exactly like you.”
“That person from the demon realm is searching the entire world for people who look like the person in the coffin.”
“I heard that people from your Supreme Immortal Sect have also just issued a wanted order to capture you.”
The black-robed woman’s voice was soft and her tone indifferent, but the words she spoke were like thousand-pound stones dropping into a river, creating huge waves.
“Why would this happen?” Luo Tangtang’s expression became wary. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the black-robed person, then at Yun Shayi.
“I only came to deliver the message. There are many cultivators in North Capital, it’s too conspicuous. I advise you not to go.”
After speaking, the black-robed woman vanished on the spot.
Luo Tangtang’s face was solemn, and she said nothing, her eyes flickering occasionally.
“Junior Sister, are you afraid?”
Yun Shayi didn’t look at Luo Tangtang and suddenly said this.
“Afraid of what?” Luo Tangtang pouted slightly. “Why is it such a coincidence?”
“We just came out to relax, and the news is already flying everywhere?”
“Now we’re basically fugitives fleeing from alleged crimes. If we go back, we’ll probably be put in a pig cage and drowned.”
Yun Shayi’s tense expression suddenly relaxed. She chuckled a few times. “As long as I’m here, no one will put you in a pig cage and drown you. You’ll only end up in one if you secretly find someone else behind my back.”
“Senior Sister, can you stop joking? We should be fleeing for our lives now,” Luo Tangtang said, raising an eyebrow.
“Flee?” Yun Shayi then asked.
“Naturally.” Yun Shayi nodded.
As Yun Shayi turned around, she didn’t notice the dark glint that flashed across Luo Tangtang’s eyes.
Perhaps it was because their luck was good, but they traveled through remote places the whole way and didn’t encounter any cultivators or people from the demon realm trying to capture them.
Luo Tangtang lay casually on horseback, her eyes narrowed contentedly. Yun Shayi gently held the reins, controlling the horse’s speed.
It had rained recently, and the ground was a bit damp. Luo Tangtang didn’t want to walk, so Yun Shayi found her a horse for transportation. From time to time, Yun Shayi would gaze at Luo Tangtang’s side profile, her eyes filled with greed.
Luo Tangtang crossed her legs, not seeming to care, as if she hadn’t noticed.
“Tangtang, do you still need me to massage your head today?”
Yun Shayi opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse, an inexplicable light flickering in her eyes.
“Okay,” Luo Tangtang agreed.
Ever since she told Yun Shayi that she sometimes had headaches, Yun Shayi had often massaged her head. The effect was indeed remarkably significant.
Memories that she could still recall were becoming increasingly blurry, and strange images would flash by from time to time.
Luo Tangtang sighed silently in her heart, but her expression didn’t show it. My suspicions will probably be verified soon.
The system hadn’t been online for a long time.
The first time she met the system, it had given her something—an access card.
