Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 18

“Yes, Han Xiao obeys.” Han Xiao lowered her head, indicating her assent.
After the other elders had left, Dao Lord Qiming kept Han Xiao alone.
The sky had not yet changed; it was still the same ink-black night that had just poured forth.
But now, there were only the two of them in the world.
The night, the mist, and the light further highlighted the figure’s extraordinary grace, completely flawless and noble as an immortal.
Involuntarily, Dao Lord Qiming actually wanted to caress Han Xiao’s face, murmuring, “What a beautiful appearance… When Immortal Lord Yang Nian took you as a disciple, was it because she valued this appearance of yours?”
“Hey, what is this ice-blue thing?”
Han Xiao frowned, immediately retreated two steps, and said, “The Immortal Lord has passed away; Han Xiao dare not make presumptuous conjectures.”
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Dao Lord Qiming came back to her senses, then chuckled lightly. “Alright, it’s fine. It’s normal that you’re unwilling to accept it now. When you return from this journey, you will probably have your own enlightenment.”
She had tried to win over Han Xiao several times, but unfortunately, the latter was unyielding.
Dao Lord Qiming hadn’t laid a hand on her, first because she was wary of her strength, and second…
She had to admit, this woman was truly as beautiful as a celestial being.
Han Xiao quickly excused herself, calculating the dates in her mind.
A few days ago, the fine line under her eye had moved again.
It felt as if she had cried; her heart ached with a sore, swollen pain. She pressed her forehead repeatedly, but couldn’t alleviate it even a bit.
…She would be leaving again soon; this journey was bound to be long, and she wouldn’t be back for a long time.
“Hey, Little Gold, why did you come with Shasha today?”
That night, Jiang Chunai was contemplating her upcoming journey when she heard rustling sounds from the corner.
So she leaned over to look, and what she saw surprised and delighted her.
A green-white snake and a tiny hedgehog were dutifully sitting there, staring at her!
Jiang Chunai beamed with joy, scooping both cute creatures into her arms.
Although she was leaving tomorrow, seeing these two cute creatures appear together to find her tonight filled Jiang Chunai with immense joy.
Little Gold was still Little Gold, watching Jiang Chunai with its golden, vertical pupils, unblinking.
Shasha, too, boldly bared its soft belly, letting Jiang Chunai do whatever she pleased to its tummy.
Whether it was pinching, prodding, or rubbing… in short, every motion imaginable was used, and the hedgehog would only let out comfortable sighs, like a human’s contented exhalation.
Usually, at this point, Jiang Chunai would lower her head and press her face against the hedgehog’s belly.
“Hmph, Shasha, I’ve never seen your kind anywhere else on the mountain before. Tell me, are you a little creature unique to Reflection Cliff?” Jiang Chunai asked, holding the hedgehog and giggling.
Shasha and Little Gold couldn’t speak and might not even understand speech.
But Jiang Chunai simply felt very at ease when she was with them.
Hm… these two small animals should be considered spiritual pets, capable of bringing different kinds of comfort.
Shasha indeed didn’t understand her words, still boldly baring its belly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Little Gold suddenly lunged and attacked its soft belly.
With a “whoosh,” Shasha immediately propped itself up and quickly hid behind Jiang Chunai, watching the fierce, malicious snake with its wary little eyes.
Jiang Chunai froze, then burst into laughter.
“I used to say I hoped you two would appear together, but I never thought you’d argue as soon as you did! Alright, alright, stop fighting, you two, you’re both my…” Jiang Chunai was clumsy with words and couldn’t quite articulate what she wanted to say.
She had become more talkative only because she had spent so much time on Reflection Cliff, learning to retort involuntarily when facing Cliff Master Mei’s unreasonable demands.
But now, without Cliff Master Mei, and even facing not people but two spiritual pets, a snake and a hedgehog, she was at a loss.
She found she couldn’t find the rest of the words to say, so she decided to gloss over it. Spiritual pets are just spiritual pets; they don’t have human consciousness. They haven’t cultivated into demons anyway.
However, the snake and the hedgehog seemed to have taken up a challenge. As soon as they realized Jiang Chunai wasn’t going to continue speaking, one actually hissed and flicked its tongue, while the other began licking her skin again!
…It was as if they were urging her to say those omitted words.
“What? Little Gold, don’t scare me. It’s late at night, and your tongue-flicking is terrifying,” Jiang Chunai said timidly. After appeasing the snake, she didn’t forget the hedgehog. “And Shasha, you too, stop licking there—!”
So ticklish.
Finally, Jiang Chunai, tormented by them, could no longer bear it and finally understood what they wanted.
“Hm, you two, you’re both my good friends, is that enough now?” Jiang Chunai waved her hand, thinking she had struck a balance.
However, these two cute creatures became even more agitated…
At the fixed time for humans to rest, the human, the snake, and the hedgehog finally settled down completely.
To prevent them from fighting, Jiang Chunai placed them far away from each other, while she slept alone.
In truth, it was hard for her to imagine that she would be leaving tomorrow.
Waking up early, then leaving Mount Shu to go to the Ghost Market in Ru’an City, a place she had never been before.
It wasn’t her first time traveling, but this time was exceptionally different.
It was the first time no one was seeing her off.
In the past, she was Senior Sister Chunai, beloved by everyone in the Bright Snow Sect. Wherever she went, people would greet her with smiles, and if they knew she was going out, they would even come to see her off.
Was it because she always brought back different novelties when she returned?
Probably, Jiang Chunai thought.
Life and death, poverty and wealth, nobility and lowliness—these are the times when one truly sees people for who they are.
Now, she was Jiang Chunai, the one who had broken precepts and damaged the secret realm; no one cared about her.
Except… that snake, and that hedgehog?
However, the thought that the Senior Sister she had liked for so long had not even offered a single word of comfort, let alone come to see her, still made Jiang Chunai feel upset.
Like is like.
But now, it was a past liking. She thought.
When she returned from Ru’an City, she would definitely be different from before.
At that time, she would be the only disciple Cliff Master Mei had taken. She could even trick the Cliff Master into telling her more about her Master.
As for Senior Sister…
Senior Sister is such a good person; it’s normal for many people to like her. So, it was normal for her to like her, and normal for Little Junior Sister Yan Linglong to like her.
As for the so-called Passion Lure, it was fine. Even if she had to use that jade bracelet forever to relieve it, she was willing.
Master’s dying wish was only for her to take care of Senior Sister, not to force them to do anything specific. Jiang Chunai felt that if things continued this way, she would be the one in the wrong.
How normal it was for her junior sister to like Senior Sister Han Xiao.
She thought, why not play matchmaker for them—
The sky brightened, the dream ended, and it was time to descend the mountain.
