Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 15

“Senior Sister!” Yan Linglong called out happily, one hand carrying a food box, the other cradling a sword, as she looked around and finally spotted Jiang Chunai.
Jiang Chunai froze, then smiled. “Little Junior Sister! What brings you to Reflection Cliff today?”
It was common knowledge that Cliff Master Mei had a strange temper.
Even those sentenced to Reflection Cliff had to hope Cliff Master Mei was in a good mood that day. Otherwise, if they couldn’t enter Reflection Cliff, they could only go to the Disciplinary Hall and see if the overseer of punishments would show mercy.
If even the sect’s rules were applied this way, it was even harder for unrelated individuals to enter Reflection Cliff.
Jiang Chunai suddenly remembered that when she had first arrived at Reflection Cliff, it was her junior sister who had inquired about Cliff Master Mei’s preferences for her.
Had she brought something for Cliff Master Mei today too?
—But in truth, those things could be obtained if one was willing to ask around. The key was whether Cliff Master Mei was willing to accept them.
Yan Linglong rubbed her head, looking embarrassed. “I just wanted to come see Senior Sister today. I lingered at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and the Cliff Master asked what I was doing. I told her I was looking for Senior Sister, and she let me in.”
“Perhaps the Cliff Master saw me carrying a food box and a sword, looking weary from travel, and didn’t make things difficult for me,” Yan Linglong said, walking closer to Jiang Chunai. “I specifically brought Senior Sister your favorite pastries today!”
“It’s the Jade Well Rice I bought from that Xu Sao Rice Shop in Jiangnan when I returned from the mortal realm last time! Senior Sister, you ate so much of it then, even though you said you were practicing inedia and wouldn’t eat anything before!” Yan Linglong rattled on, smiling cheerfully as she opened the food box.
Jade Well Rice? Cooked with lotus root, fresh lotus seeds, and lotus root – truly a delicacy in summer.
The two senior and junior sisters sat on the ground and found some utensils.
Yan Linglong only focused on letting Jiang Chunai eat, not eating herself, just smiling as she watched Jiang Chunai.
Jiang Chunai was surprised. “Little Junior Sister, did you come today just to watch me eat?”
“Mm, I already ate on my way here; I’m full. I had that honey-preserved plum blossom; it was preserved with immortal techniques, so even in summer, it has a unique flavor,” Yan Linglong explained. “Besides, I want to practice my sword later, and cultivators naturally practice inedia, so I think it’s better not to eat for now.”
Jiang Chunai nodded. “You’re truly devoted to the Purple Lightning Green Frost Sword.”
This sword style was created by Immortal Lord Yang Nian, and it was highly difficult. Even among Immortal Lord Yang Nian’s personally accepted inner disciples, very few could wield it proficiently.
Now that the Immortal Lord had passed away, its transmission was also a difficult problem. Because no sword manual had been left for this style, anyone wishing to learn it could only seek out a few of Immortal Lord Yang Nian’s deeply cultivated disciples.
“Yes, precisely because…” Yan Linglong suddenly stammered at this point.
Jiang Chunai also listened carefully.
What was she going to say? Was it that this sword style was powerful? After all, those who were unwilling to remain mortals and became cultivators did so first for immortality and ascension, and second for strengthening their bodies and improving their cultivation.
“When I just came up the mountain, I saw Senior Sister Han Xiao use this move, and that day, her sword exploded with very beautiful, very beautiful – like blue and purple flowers?” Yan Linglong spoke with a hint of uncertainty, but her tone was full of admiration.
…So, she had seen Senior Sister Han Xiao use it.
Jiang Chunai remained silent, but also felt that what she said made perfect sense. Whose cultivation dream didn’t begin with seeing or hearing about others soaring on clouds and mists, or possessing extraordinary skills, and feeling envious?
She could completely understand her junior sister’s thoughts.
Especially when it was someone as formidable as Senior Sister Han Xiao.
Jiang Chunai said nothing and continued eating the Jade Well Rice.
But for some reason, the lotus root, which had just been fresh and smooth, now tasted bland and flavorless in her mouth.
“Still, I’m very grateful to Senior Sister Chunai for teaching me the first three forms last time. I practice diligently every day, and I wouldn’t say I’ve learned them perfectly, but probably about eighty percent. Last time I saw Senior Sister Han Xiao, I even demonstrated them in front of her!”
Jiang Chunai nodded, or perhaps didn’t nod — she wasn’t sure how such a small movement would appear to others.
“Hehehe, although Senior Sister didn’t directly praise me, I saw it in her eyes; I think she felt I had improved a lot since last time!” Yan Linglong had been sitting initially, but now she was so happy she was gesturing wildly. “Today, I came to find Senior Sister because I want you to see how well I’ve learned the Fourth Form!”
Before Jiang Chunai could reply, Yan Linglong leaned in again. “Oh, oh, Senior Sister Chunai, you’ve been with Senior Sister Han Xiao for a long time, longer than me. But Senior Sister’s birthday is approaching, do you know what kind of things she likes?”
“I want to give her something no one else has given her!”
Jiang Chunai suddenly froze, her mouth agape, but no words came out.
The tempting voice in her sea of consciousness sounded again.
[She clearly came to ask you about swordsmanship, but asked about something else. You shouldn’t tell her.]
She had always believed the voice in her sea of consciousness implicitly.
“…You and Senior Sister Han Xiao aren’t truly from the same line; learning swordsmanship is enough. There’s no need to inquire about this matter,” she said.
Yan Linglong had never heard such a tone from Senior Sister Jiang Chunai. For a moment, she was confused, then her eyes widened, and she immediately felt wronged. “Senior Sister, did you misunderstand?”
“I was just casually asking what Senior Sister Han Xiao likes! I came to you today to practice my sword! I want to improve!” she said, her tone firm, wiping away a tear hanging at the corner of her eye.
However, Jiang Chunai’s tone was equally firm. “No sword practice today… And thank you for the Jade Well Rice.”
Jade Well Rice was a delicacy favored in Jiangnan. She wasn’t from Jiangnan, and eating it occasionally for novelty was one thing.
“Fine, fine! Senior Sister!” Yan Linglong suddenly flared up, grabbed the food box, and turned to leave.
She walked quickly, her figure soon blurring as it disappeared into the thin mountain mist.
Jiang Chunai didn’t remain where she was either, but returned to her own residence.
The one who came today wasn’t Little Gold, but the hedgehog.
“I’m sorry, I can’t play with you today,” Jiang Chunai said with a disappointed tone, just leaning against the edge of her bed, her eyelids drooping.
She didn’t know what she had been thinking, getting into an argument with her junior sister today.
But the hedgehog seemed to pay her no mind—of course, it probably didn’t understand what Jiang Chunai was saying at all.
Even though Jiang Chunai said she was in a bad mood today, the hedgehog still came over and gently licked her.
The soft flesh between her legs was licked smoothly, and an inexplicable pleasure made Jiang Chunai feel quite shy.
The fine lines on her wrist seemed… to be showing a tendency to spread wildly again.
“Honestly, you little animals,” Jiang Chunai said, smiling as she leaned down to pinch the hedgehog’s soft belly, “every single one of you is more useful than that annoying Senior Sister.”
This hedgehog was, and that little snake was too.
The hedgehog clearly paused for a moment after hearing her say that, but quickly continued licking.
“Haha, why are you licking me so much?” Jiang Chunai was rendered speechless by this flattering, fawning hedgehog and couldn’t stop smiling.
Finally, after the hedgehog finished licking, Jiang Chunai was about to say something else when she saw the hedgehog slowly chew out some saliva, then twist its body and use its tongue to apply it to the spines on its back and sides.
Hm.
How strange, Jiang Chunai thought.
It licked her, then applied it to the spines on its back.
It was as if… it was making some kind of mark.
