Running Off With The Sect Senior Sister Chapter 65

Finally, they had seen off that troublesome little boy, and Yun Shayi also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright, we can continue our journey now, right?” Luo Er sneezed and rubbed the tip of her nose, looking a bit listless.
Luo Tangtang stared at her intently for a few seconds, her gaze carrying scrutiny and doubt. Then, it transformed into a swirl of dark ink floating in the deep sea, shimmering with a faint light. It entered the top of Luo Er’s head and vanished in an instant.
Luo Er’s body stiffened, then suddenly relaxed. Her eyes, looking at Luo Tangtang, held a hint of nervousness and guilt.
Luo Tangtang comfortingly patted the other’s shoulder and gently shook her head at her.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Shayi found their actions a bit strange.
“It’s nothing.” Luo Tangtang looked at her. “We can go now.”
They had been delayed for a day, so now they needed to hurry.
“Luo Yi,” Luo Er called out softly on the road, slowly sidling up to Luo Tangtang’s side.
“I know.” Luo Tangtang lowered her eyes.
Luo Er had secretly used her power to mend a rift.
But they had been in this world for so many years, and the energy given to them by the Main God was almost depleted. Luo Er had used almost half of her remaining energy to mend the rift, and just now, her energy had been a little insufficient.
“I thought you wouldn’t notice.” Luo Er was no longer in her usual boisterous state. Instead, she seemed a bit tired and dejected.
Luo Tangtang paused. A layer of warmth gradually surfaced in her long-empty heart. She said softly, “I noticed.”
Luo Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “This is the nicest you’ve ever been to me.”
Luo Tangtang immediately shot her a cold glance, which only made Luo Er laugh loudly.
“What’s wrong with her?” Yun Shayi was a bit puzzled, watching Luo Er run ahead somewhat excitedly.
“It’s nothing. She’s probably excited because it’s rare for her to come out and play.”
Rarely come out and play…
Yun Shayi was a little skeptical. After all, everyone knew Luo Er disappeared every few days, always running off to fool around outside the sect.
But seeing Luo Tangtang’s expression that showed she didn’t want to say more, she didn’t press further. However, she couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. She had been with Luo Tangtang for ten years, but she still felt like she couldn’t see through her, always feeling an insurmountable barrier between them.
“Oh.” She lowered her head dejectedly.
Towards Luo Tangtang, she always subconsciously wanted to be close. During her most difficult times, everyone avoided her like the plague, detesting her. Only Luo Tangtang was willing to approach her. To her, Luo Tangtang was always special and different.
Yun Shayi thought for a moment, her expression growing more sorrowful. She glanced forlornly in Luo Tangtang’s direction, but then she froze. The expression on the other’s face was too complex. The depths of her eyes were like a deep pool of water, and in its occasional ripples, fear, helplessness, and unwillingness were hidden.
Senior Sister is afraid.
Yun Shayi suddenly had this realization.
But what is she afraid of?
“Senior Sister,” Yun Shayi called out, somewhat woodenly.
Luo Tangtang instantly concealed all her emotions. She looked towards Yun Shayi, her expression momentarily dazed. The address ‘Senior Sister’… how long had it been since she herself had called someone that?
Yun Shayi, dissatisfied, tugged at the other’s sleeve. Why are you spacing out?
“What is it?”
“I will protect you,” Yun Shayi said, a little dejectedly.
Luo Tangtang’s heart almost clenched in an instant. A stifling feeling surged like a tide, making her panic.
Her eyelashes trembled violently a few times, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white. “I don’t need it.”
“You do,” Yun Shayi said.
Luo Tangtang pressed her lips together and took a deep breath. “If we’re afraid of danger, can we not go to the Extreme North Realm?”
Really, I really don’t want to go to that damned place again.
“Why?” Yun Shayi was stunned.
“No reason, I was just saying.” Luo Tangtang’s heart sank, and her face became expressionless again.
She could receive the Main God’s settings for this world in her mind. Yun Shayi had to go to the Extreme North Realm, because she would obtain a great fortuitous encounter there.
The Extreme North Realm was in the Demon Realm Forest. The group traveled day and night, finally arriving on time.
“Want to buy sacred healing medicine? This stall guarantees reasonable prices!”
“Come take a look! Top-quality defensive sacred robes, a must-have for mystic realms!”
“Legendary immortal-grade weapons! Come see, come see!”
“This…” Luo Er’s mouth twitched.
There were many people, but few cultivators were seen. There was a large pile of stalls.
Seeing Luo Tangtang’s group, they were like hungry wolves spotting meat on a bone. Their eyes all glinted with a green light, eager to pounce.
“You must be heading to the Extreme North Realm, right? Mystic realms are quite dangerous, would you like to buy some weapons for self-defense?” a stall owner asked with a smile.
“Don’t believe him! His weapons are only good for fooling three-year-olds. How can they protect you? If you want some self-defense weapons, the kind with strong offensive power, you should come to my place,” another person, unwilling to be outdone, hurriedly said.
“Hey, Xu Lao San, how can you say that? If mine are no good, are yours any better?” The previous stall owner was displeased and retorted.
“Of course mine are good! I sourced these weapons from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. How could they not be good?” Xu Lao San looked somewhat smug.
The two began to argue just like that.
“So this is the market of the Extreme North Realm? The clearance sale kind,” Luo Er was somewhat speechless.
Yun Shayi’s face also twitched a little. Among the crowd of stall owners, she even saw a familiar face—a disciple from the Supreme Immortal Sect.
The other person also saw Yun Shayi and her group. Her eyes immediately became shifty, and she tried her best to lean her body towards the big man next to her, trying to hide herself as much as possible.
“Hey, what are you doing?” The big man, seeing the pretty young lady in front of him keep leaning his way, started to get a little flustered.
“I’m a man who does legitimate business!”
The young lady: “…”
Yun Shayi silently covered her face. She couldn’t bear to watch.
“Although I’m a demonic cultivator, I’m a proper demonic cultivator,” the big man said. “I don’t mess with that Hehuan Sect stuff.”
Veins immediately bulged on the young lady’s forehead. She leaped up, quickly packed her stall, and was about to run.
“Oh dear, you’ve scared the poor young lady,” a nearby stall owner said helplessly.
“This… Is that really necessary? I wouldn’t say anything about her.” Yun Shayi muttered, embarrassed.
The young lady’s body stumbled, and her movements became even faster.
Everything in this world is very good. Even demonic cultivators are upright and kind people; it’s just that their cultivation methods are different. Everything looks so good.
Luo Tangtang’s eyes were dim and lightless.
It’s just… why did we still have to come here, to the Extreme North?
“Senior Sister.”
Luo Tangtang suddenly felt a coolness in her hand. Yun Shayi had placed a seed in her palm.
It was round and a little cool.
The seed was milky white, like mutton-fat jade, but inside, vitality seemed to be suffused.
“Fellow Daoist, do you like it?” It was the big man.
He said very heartily, “I found this in a deep mountain a long time ago. I don’t know what species it is, but the spiritual energy inside is very rich and pure. So I just put it out here.”
“If you like it, Fellow Daoist, take it for two high-grade spirit stones.”
“Senior Sister, is it pretty?” Yun Shayi’s eyes sparkled. She knew Luo Tangtang loved to potter with flowers and plants. She had planted them all over Wuyang Peak, but not a single one had survived.
Over time, Wuyang Mountain had become so annoyed it almost wanted to change its name.
“Mm.” Luo Tangtang picked up the seed, her slender fingers raising it. Sunlight shone through the seed in mid-air, revealing a tiny round granule at its center.
It’s a Fluffy Silk Plate Flower seed.
“I’ll take it,” Luo Tangtang said lightly, lowering her hand.
“Alright!” Yun Shayi was even happier than the stall owner, and paid with delight.
Luo Er pouted. Why isn’t anyone buying me anything?
“Hurry, stop tending your stalls! The mystic realm is open!” Someone shouted this from a distance. It seemed they had used spiritual energy, as the rough voice spread far and wide.
Almost instantly, the long row of stalls vanished without a trace. In the blink of an eye, everyone was ready and waiting.
Their faces showed yearning and eager anticipation.
Luo Tangtang’s gaze swept over each of their faces, slowly, earnestly.
“Senior Sister, what are you looking at them for?” Yun Shayi had also been quite excited. Just as she was about to turn her head to share her excitement, she saw Luo Tangtang’s distant gaze.
“Let’s go! Still talking, still talking, can’t get enough talking, huh?” Luo Er shouted, in a very bad mood.
Her tone was so sharp, that Yun Shayi subconsciously shrank back.
“You really are…” Yun Shayi said half a sentence, but seeing Luo Er’s suddenly sinister gaze, she shut her mouth.
She shrugged, and silently moved closer to Luo Tangtang.
Luo Er grabbed Luo Tangtang’s wrist. Where’s the fortuitous encounter? she mentally projected.
I don’t know, Luo Tangtang replied in her mind.
Forget it. Anyway, the Main God definitely won’t let Yun Shayi not find it. Let’s just follow her, Luo Er thought.
Inside the mystic realm, it was deathly silent. Yun Shayi quietly released her spiritual sense to scout the path.
“Which way should we go?” Luo Er asked.
“You’re asking me?” Yun Shayi pointed to herself in surprise.
“Who else?” Luo Er rolled her eyes.
Yun Shayi turned her gaze to Luo Tangtang.
Luo Tangtang calmly looked back, not speaking, very composed and calm.
“…Uh, west then!”
She had just scouted with her spiritual sense, and it was very quiet to the west.
When things are abnormally quiet, there must be something strange afoot. There must be a reason.
Yun Shayi’s intuition was indeed very accurate. To the west was a swamp, densely populated with poisonous insects and fierce beasts. In the vast forest, rustling sounds were incessant, and the sunlight, when it penetrated, left only patches of shadow.
“You sure know how to pick a path,” Luo Er said coldly.
“Careful!” Yun Shayi drew her sword and slashed at a huge head that suddenly attacked.
“Damn, what the hell is this?” Luo Er stared wide-eyed at the behemoth in front of them.
It had a human torso but seven or eight arms and legs, its entire body was a glossy dark green, and it was almost as tall as the ancient trees. It slowly lifted its feet, walking on the swamp as if it were flat ground, and its movements were extremely swift and fierce.
“Dodge!” Yun Shayi shouted.
Her eyes turned icy cold, an intimidating chill emanated from her entire body, and the swamp beneath her feet instantly turned into a plain of ice.
The creature’s feet were also frozen, hindering its movement. It began to roar furiously.
A violent wind formed in its mouth and blew towards them.
The group hastily dodged, but another similar behemoth appeared behind them—it was a giant python.
“Is this never going to end?” Luo Er was about to break down.
She was very weak right now. Her cultivation level wasn’t high to begin with, and not much of the energy given by the Main God was left.
That Yun Shayi still insisted on sticking close to Luo Yi. Heavens!
