Running Off With The Sect Senior Sister Chapter 62

Recently, during morning class, one of the disciples present took out a large bag of items.
Luo Tangtang squinted. It was a distinction of an inner sect disciple.
“Are you mocking me for not being an inner sect disciple, for not being favored by an elder?” the little boy’s face turned cold.
“Exactly! You’re just born from a concubine. What right do you have to mock me?” someone in the room looked on with disgust and jealousy in their eyes.
Luo Tangtang frowned and was about to walk out.
“You can’t say that. Your mother seems to be a courtesan, quite a beauty at that.”
Her footsteps halted. Yun Shayi’s eyes were bloodshot. She abruptly threw down the bag of items and rushed out.
Luo Tangtang’s expression turned serious. She gave those few people a cold look, then turned and followed Yun Shayi.
Around the feet and bodies of the people she left behind, something unseen gradually thinned and dissipated.
Yun Shayi kept running until she reached a small riverbank. Her eyes, red-rimmed, darted around. After confirming no one was there, tears instantly fell.
“Tsk tsk, quite some spirit,” Luo Er suddenly appeared beside Luo Tangtang, looking at Yun Shayi who was huddled in a ball.
“Why are you here?” Luo Tangtang asked.
A strange look appeared on Luo Er’s face. “I originally went down the sect mountain to get a drink, but suddenly my heart started racing, and I felt this heavy, stifled feeling.”
Luo Er spoke, gesturing, “You know? It’s that feeling, like tiny needles pricking your heart. It was awful.”
“I just had a bad feeling, so I did a quick divination to figure out what was going on.”
Luo Tangtang’s gaze grew profound.
Luo Er suddenly realized something and got agitated. “Something’s happened to the world’s core! Does this mean we’re going to suffer along with it?”
“The Main God really knows how to stir things up. Is this because it’s afraid we’ll slack off?”
“Aaaah—!” Luo Er shrieked, grabbing her hair. “I don’t want this!”
Luo Er was completely immersed in grief and indignation. Only after yelling a few times did she realize something was off. She swallowed and decisively shut her mouth.
Nearby, Yun Shayi was staring at her, eyes wide with disbelief.
“What are you looking at!” Luo Er yelled.
Luo Tangtang turned her face away. It’s too embarrassing to watch.
“Elder Sister, why are you here?” Yun Shayi asked, her eyes still teary.
“Don’t call me Elder Sister anymore.” Luo Tangtang always felt that form of address was a bit odd. “Just call me by my name.”
“Oh, okay.” Yun Shayi paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
“What are you doing here?” Luo Tangtang spoke first.
Yun Shayi faltered, a hint of embarrassment on her face. She hurriedly lowered her head. “I came over here… to take a look, just wandering around.”
“Wandering around,” Yun Shayi’s voice dropped, sounding a little unsure and guilty.
Luo Tangtang stared at her fixedly for a few seconds but didn’t intend to expose her.
But just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean no one else would. Luo Er, at the side, mocked, “Weren’t you just sniveling? The inner and outer sects are several mountains apart.”
Luo Er glanced at Yun Shayi and sneered, “So you crossed several rivers just to come here and cry?”
“I…” Yun Shayi was flustered.
She instantly lowered her head, her hands twisting together unnaturally. “I wasn’t crying.” After she spoke, her eyes reddened again. “I just… I feel uncomfortable being alone. I miss home.”
“Then come live with us,” Luo Er blurted out boldly.
Luo Er figured that Yun Shayi’s connection to the world’s core was intensifying. In that case, it would be better to keep Yun Shayi under her own watch for easier observation. Besides, Luo Yi had been acting strangely lately too. She always felt that the way Luo Yi looked at Yun Shayi was very complicated.
“Ah?” Yun Shayi, startled by Luo Er’s words, simply stared blankly, teardrops still glistening on her lashes.
Luo Tangtang’s heart suddenly softened. Her eyelashes trembled, a hint of gentleness and helplessness in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it, her expression turning as cold as ice.
“I… I probably shouldn’t.” Seeing Luo Tangtang’s cold expression, Yun Shayi’s eyes dimmed again. She spoke softly, her voice tinged with disappointment.
“What do you mean, no!” Luo Er said, frustrated by Yun Shayi’s lack of assertiveness, and rolled her eyes dramatically. “The sect doesn’t forbid mixed living arrangements. Besides, your Master won’t go to your cave abode to check on you. Living together is so much more convenient!”
“Let’s live together,” Luo Tangtang finally said. Her expression didn’t change much, but her tone was very serious and held a note of finality that brooked no refusal.
“Okay!” Luo Er quickly stepped forward and agreed on Yun Shayi’s behalf, speaking so fast that Yun Shayi couldn’t get a word in to refuse.
“Move in right away,” Luo Er added, her small face a picture of seriousness.
Luo Er regretted it. She regretted it a lot. She shouldn’t have run her mouth and let Yun Shayi move in.
Luo Yi’s cold tone kept echoing in her mind, impossible to dismiss.
“You’ll regret letting her move in with you.” Luo Yi had just come out and bumped into Luo Er, who was helping Yun Shayi move her things, and had said this coldly.
At that time, Luo Er hadn’t understood why. Now…
In the beginning, Yun Shayi would lie by Luo Yi’s bedside, staring at her intently. Luo Yi would immediately turn her head away.
And now?
After a few days, with Luo Yi’s tacit indulgence—which could be called having no bottom line—Yun Shayi became even bolder in staring at Luo Yi. Occasionally, when Luo Yi’s eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes, she would see a face beaming with an exceptionally bright smile.
“Hey, hey, don’t you ever cultivate?” Luo Er grumbled, finding their interactions too clingy for her comfort.
Yun Shayi blinked innocently. The spiritual energy around her fluctuated slightly—she had broken through again.
Luo Er: “…”
I forgot. This girl is the world’s core; this world exists because of her. Naturally, her talent is high.
But it’s ridiculously high! Luo Yi has now completely restricted her own use of her cultivation base. Even when Luo Yi cultivates seriously, she’s no match for Yun Shayi at all, Luo Er thought resentfully, her eyes filled with grievance.
Yun Shayi just stared at Luo Tangtang awkwardly.
Luo Tangtang frowned. “Focus on your cultivation.”
“Okay!” Yun Shayi scooted closer to Luo Tangtang’s bed. Seeing that Luo Tangtang only frowned a little tighter but didn’t refuse, Yun Shayi’s eyes shone even brighter. She quickly sat up straight and began to cultivate.
Luo Tangtang sighed silently, a flicker of worry in her eyes.
Looking at Yun Shayi’s still rather childish face, after a long moment, Luo Tangtang slowly closed her eyes.
Her mind gradually emptied. Suddenly, a pulling force struck her, and Luo Tangtang felt as if she were being dragged into another dimension.
“Where is this?” Luo Tangtang wondered. It feels somewhat familiar.
“You’re finally back.” A hoarse, grating voice suddenly sounded from behind her. It was like fingernails scraping something, scratching at her eardrums and making Luo Tangtang feel uneasy all over.
She spun around quickly and saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
“Senior Sister?” Luo Tangtang exclaimed in shock.
It was Yun Shayi.
Yun Shayi, her face contorted ferociously, passed straight through Luo Tangtang. The Yun Shayi in the vision wasn’t solid—her hand was transparent.
Luo Tangtang snapped her head up and saw this Yun Shayi walking up a flight of stairs. Luo Tangtang quickly followed.
The place where a throne once stood was now occupied by a coffin. Inside the coffin lay a person.
Luo Tangtang’s expression became even more complicated. That’s me.
“Why aren’t you waking up?” The visionary Yun Shayi looked very haggard, her eyes swollen and bruised. She was originally the supreme god of this world, and now she had reduced herself to this state.
Luo Tangtang’s heart ached, and her eyes grew moist.
Senior Sister… Luo Tangtang reached out, her gaze turning bewildered. But when she saw that jade-like, fair face in the coffin, Luo Tangtang’s body trembled violently.
“You’ve abandoned me again, haven’t you? You’re always like this, always like this.” The Yun Shayi in the vision seemed like a demon crawled out of hell, her eyes filled with despair and hatred as she spoke to the figure in the coffin.
“It’s always like this, always… haha, always like this.” The visionary Yun Shayi seemed to finally break. She pulled the person in the coffin into her embrace, the force so great it felt as if she wanted to flay them, dismember them, and devour them whole.
“This time…” She buried her face in the neck of the figure in the coffin, her voice trembling so much it was almost off-key. “This time, you even left me a… body, didn’t you, Senior Sister!”
“You’re truly cruel.”
Senior Sister… Luo Tangtang’s eyes widened. Something seemed to touch her own neck, sending shivers down her entire body. Her vision blurred, and she couldn’t see anything clearly.
“I want to go back! I want to go back! I don’t want to stay here!” Luo Tangtang clutched her head. The world around her began to spin, becoming illusory and unreal.
“Senior Sister is here! Yun Shayi is here! I want to stay! I don’t want to go to that fake world!” Luo Tangtang screamed, struggling so hard she could barely breathe.
Her body was suddenly slammed down by a heavy force. She immediately got up, ignoring the sharp pain from her soul, wanting to move forward.
Each step felt like it weighed a thousand catties. With every step she took, the gravity would double.
She disregarded everything, struggling to get closer to the visionary Yun Shayi. Tears streamed down her face. She felt like a soul stripped from its flesh.
“Come back,” a voice said.
The Main God sat on the throne, its gaze perhaps one of pity.
Her spiritual injuries healed in an instant; everything was as if it had never happened.
“Let me go back! You have to let me go back! I can’t stay here! I need to be with her! Please let me go back!” Luo Tangtang’s tears fell, her previously screaming voice now broken and ragged.
She seemed to be begging that lofty being, her tears falling ceaselessly, streaming down her face.
“Staying might be for your own good,” the being said, as if it knew everything.
“Why make me go through all this again?” Luo Tangtang didn’t understand. Her struggles and questions all seemed pale and powerless.
“Go back. You’ll understand eventually,” that person said.
“Luo Yi, wake up! What’s wrong with you?” Luo Er’s voice sounded by her ear. Luo Tangtang shot upright.
“Hiss—!” Her face changed drastically, looking awful, and she was covered in a cold sweat.
“I’m back again… How am I back again?” She clutched her head, her heart overwhelmed by pain, even breathing felt difficult and agonizing.
