Senior Sister Went Mad After My Fake Death Chapter 66

Jiang Chunai returned to her residence alone.
It was autumn, and she could smell the fragrance of ripe melons and fruits on her way back.
But Jiang Chunai felt otherwise.
It was as if she had woken up from a serious illness, in a daze.
There was a dull, heavy pain in her heart, in wisps, that could not be relieved. The pain did not come from her five organs and six viscera, but from a certain corner of her heart.
As if something was missing.
This feeling was truly unbearable, Jiang Chunai could not describe it.
She only knew that this was the feeling of someone having died—she had to accept this feeling.
What did it feel like for someone to die?
It was that you would never see a person who looked exactly like her again, hear the same tone, touch the same feeling…
…Even if she had risked her life, kowtowing up the nine thousand celestial steps, leaving a wisp of her divine consciousness was useless.
She was just, possibly, reincarnated. And after reincarnation? Could they still meet?
Could Han Xiao still be a cultivator? All of this was an unknown.
And at that time, she had held on to this unknown as her hope, and had kowtowed up, step by step. In the last days she had spent with Han Xiao, she had cherished them.
A sweet torment, a tormenting sweetness, she could not describe that period of time.
In short, if Cliff Master Mei were still alive, she would probably be a little more hard-hearted.
But no matter what, those things were in the past.
From the looks of her Master, it seemed she had handled it quite well.
Let the past be the past.
She was just, going through life again.
Tonight, Jiang Chunai slept unusually soundly. She had never slept so soundly in her life—even the voice that had often guided her in her sea of consciousness had disappeared.
How strange.
Jiang Chunai tried to call out to her in her sea of consciousness, “Are you there?”
“Are you there? Master?”
In the end, she even tried to call “Master.” In her heart, this voice was the incarnation of her Master’s remnant soul, guiding her.
However, no matter how much she called, even when she brought up her Master’s name, the voice did not reply.
It was as if in the two months Jiang Chunai had been in a coma, she had also not received any response, and had left.
Another feeling of loss.
Jiang Chunai was helpless and guessed that this voice would soon come back to accompany her.
At that time, she still held on to the beautiful wish that old friends would eventually meet again. But later, Jiang Chunai never heard this voice in her ear again.
But at that time, she did not know.
She soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, someone knocked on the door.
Jiang Chunai politely went to the door to welcome them. When she opened the door, besides Senior Sister Chang Xin, she found a face that she could not be more familiar with. It was none other than her former junior sister, Yan Linglong.
Yan Linglong was no different from what she remembered, but she was no longer as she had been before, wearing gold and jade ornaments. Instead, she was dressed in a simple and clean manner, and overall she looked a little thin.
“Ling-Linglong…” Jiang Chunai murmured.
The moment she saw Jiang Chunai, Yan Linglong’s nose immediately turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes, almost crying, “Senior Sister, Senior Sister Chunai! We finally meet. I can finally call you that once!”
As she spoke, she actually pounced on her and, without a care, hugged Jiang Chunai, her tears and snot streaming as she rested her head on her shoulder. “It’s so good to see you again.”
Yan Linglong’s voice was choked with sobs, and she was trembling.
She had originally thought that she would never have the chance to say goodbye to Senior Sister Chunai in person. So, at that time, when she had written on the Quiescence Brocade, stroke by stroke, every word had carried a bloody determination and apology.
Never again. At that time, she had thought that their friendship would never be again.
“Sob, sob, Senior Sister, I’m sorry, Linglong was wrong before, I’m sorry.” She whimpered and cried, her whole body shaking.
Jiang Chunai was filled with emotion, and her nose also felt a pang of sourness.
—They had also cried while hugging each other like this, but at that time they were sitting, their tears flowing into each other’s collars, tears mixed with sweat, wet.
This time was the same as the last time.
Jiang Chunai gently patted her back and said comfortingly, “It’s alright, I’m fine now. Look, isn’t Senior Sister Chunai fine now?”
“Hmm… fine,” Yan Linglong was still sobbing. “Yes, Senior Sister Chunai is fine now, but, but… Cliff Master Mei died because of me!”
After Yan Linglong finished, she raised her tear-filled eyes, which were watery as she looked at Jiang Chunai, her nose already red. “Senior Sister, I’m sorry. Linglong has done too many wrong things in my life. Before, I pushed you into a fiery pit for my own selfish reasons. In the end, I even caused the death of Cliff Master Mei.”
“Actually, I shouldn’t have lived until now. Originally, the person standing here should have been Cliff Master Mei, not me. I’m too cowardly,” she was still sobbing.
Who should die, who shouldn’t die?
The standard for such a judgment could not be decided by one person.
Jiang Chunai’s eyes dimmed. She reached out and held the back of her junior sister’s head, wanting to calm her down. “No, you’ve already done well enough. It’s not your fault. Why should you die? It’s your skill that you’ve lived until now.”
With Jiang Chunai’s comfort, Yan Linglong’s sobbing finally subsided. She sniffled, still sobbing, but at least not as violently as before.
Jiang Chunai patted her back and continued, “Alright, alright, Linglong, everything is fated. You weren’t meant to die, so you’ve lived until now. Let’s go, come in. I heard from Zhi Zhi that when I was in a coma, you even came in to see me, but I didn’t wake up at that time.”
“Hmm, alright,” Yan Linglong bit her lip, still sobbing.
Chang Xin cast a look of understanding.
She had also seen all of this in the Pearl of Retrospection.
This pair of senior and junior sisters had gone through a lot. It was great that they could be on good terms again.
But… what a pity for Cliff Master Mei.
Because she wasn’t meant to die, so she’s lived until now. Then the person who didn’t survive, was she meant to die?
As Jiang Chunai turned to walk into the room, this sentence exploded in her mind like a paste.
She dared to say the first half of the sentence, but she dared not admit the second half.
Cliff Master Mei was such a good person, should she have died?
She couldn’t admit it.
After they had sat down, Jiang Chunai served a cup of hot tea to Chang Xin and a cup of her favorite roselle and plum drink to Yan Linglong.
She sat down with a smile and asked the two of them if they had come for anything today.
Yan Linglong held the cup of roselle and plum drink, still regretting and at the same time, celebrating her actions.
Fortunately, she had not lost this best little junior sister.
“Hey, hey, Linglong, what are you doing? This drink is sweet. If you keep doing this, are you going to drink it with salt?”
Only then did Yan Linglong wipe away her tears and say in a low voice, “No, even my tears are sweet.”
Jiang Chunai shook her head helplessly and turned to talk to Senior Sister Chang Xin.
Only then did Chang Xin carefully take out a brocade box from her bosom and say, “Do you remember the ‘thing’ that Master mentioned yesterday? I’ve brought it for you now.”
A thing? Or a living thing?
In fact, Jiang Chunai had already guessed most of it, but she was still quite surprised that her Master’s consideration was so thorough.
At that time, after she had severed her finger, her whole body was soaked in the bitter water of anger and sorrow. She had already forgotten the existence of this snake egg. She had not expected that her Master, who had come upon hearing the news, had actually brought this snake egg out.
The brocade box was opened, and inside was an egg.
The egg was still surrounded by a green-black halo, but it was no longer as lustrous as Jiang Chunai had seen it before. Outside the eggshell, there seemed to be some cracks.
“Here, is this your child?” Chang Xin raised an eyebrow and teased Jiang Chunai. “Have you thought of a name for her? From the looks of it, she might be about to hatch…”
Jiang Chunai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly thought of the time when she and Han Xiao had discussed the child’s name.
A name, what name?
The result of her and Han Xiao’s discussion was actually just that she didn’t have to take her surname, that was all.
“No, I haven’t thought of one yet. After she hatches, I’ll see what to name her.”
Chang Xin was surprised. “You still haven’t thought of a name for her? After I heard from Master, I thought you had already thought of a name for this little snake.”
“I haven’t had time to think,” Jiang Chunai said lightly, and reached out to hold the snake egg.
The snake egg’s shell was soft. She turned it over and looked at it carefully.
The eggshell’s appearance was no longer perfect, but there were some cracks.
“Oh? What’s this?” Jiang Chunai looked at the cracked crevice in surprise. “Is she going to come out from here?”
Chang Xin tilted her head and, after a glance, said, “That’s her egg tooth! Chunai, no wonder you haven’t given her a name. You haven’t even prepared for how she’s going to come out?”
Jiang Chunai was at a loss for words, and her face suddenly flushed red.
Yan Linglong also looked at the snake egg curiously and came to her senior sister’s rescue, “Senior Sister is so young, how can she be a mother so soon… and the child is not even human. It’s normal not to know.”
“You two are on the same side, anyway. You’ve been her senior sister for longer than I have,” Chang Xin shrugged, indicating that she was used to it.
Yan Linglong smiled and continued to look at the snake egg with Jiang Chunai.
“By the way,” Chang Xin suddenly spoke up, her expression relaxed as she said, “Chunai, when Master asked me to come over today, it wasn’t just to send this snake egg for you to look after, but she also had other instructions.”
Jiang Chunai blinked and asked, “What other instructions?”
“She told you to rest assured and stay in Yanqiu from now on. If anything else happens, she’ll take care of it.”
These words were truly reassuring, and a warm current immediately flowed through Jiang Chunai’s heart.
Before Jiang Chunai could continue, the snake egg moved again: the originally smooth eggshell surface began to show a series of fine cracks, as if it had been lightly cut open by an invisible hand. The cracks spread rapidly at a visible speed and soon covered the entire eggshell.
With a “crack,” an egg tooth was revealed, and it began to bite at the eggshell. It bit at the surrounding eggshell again and again. With every bite, more cracks deepened and widened. The broken eggshell fragments scattered to the side, as if it were snowing a strange kind of snow.
A coiled snake body was already exposed inside.
The three people present all held their breath, waiting for the little snake to completely break out of the eggshell.
Chang Xin’s criticism was indeed correct. Jiang Chunai looked at her senior sister at a loss. “Senior Sister, are we just going to wait for her to come out like this? Don’t we give her some…”
Chang Xin shook her head and said, “No need, we just wait like this. She will come out by herself. Of course, you can also cut it open with scissors, but it’s not necessary now.”
“After all, it’s Han Xiao’s child. See, it’s not a problem for her to come out by herself,” with that, she even laughed, and Yan Linglong and Jiang Chunai also laughed.
The eggshell broke open a small opening, and the little snake’s head slowly poked out. The little snake’s head was a green-black color, but there were some red and white spots—this was not like Han Xiao.
Han Xiao was a pure green-black snake.
And this little snake looked more special. When she came out, her eyes were closed, and her forked tongue would occasionally stick out and then retract, as if she were feeling her surroundings.
After she was familiar, the little snake’s slender body also began to squeeze out. The green-black scales covered her body, and the red and white colors were even more conspicuous. She struggled out of the eggshell bit by bit.
Finally, she was completely out. She coiled herself in the eggshell fragments, her tail wrapping around her, and looked at the three people around her with a dazed expression. Finally, her gaze landed on Jiang Chunai.
Perhaps because she knew who her mother was, the little snake did not stare at Jiang Chunai for long before she burrowed toward Jiang Chunai’s wrist, which was placed on the table.
When the cold snake body touched her wrist, Jiang Chunai was dazed and her heart pounded for a moment.
So this was the strange feeling of being connected by blood and flesh.
“Congratulations, now you’re a mother,” Chang Xin said with a smile. “From now on, our Yanqiu will have another cultivator.”
Jiang Chunai glanced at her, then lowered her head and told her snake daughter, “Alright, look at this aunt of yours. She’s got ill intentions. You’re so young, and she’s already planning to make you a cultivator to be her assistant.”
Chang Xin pretended to be angry and frowned. “Jiang Chunai, what are you saying? I have no intention of making your daughter my assistant…”
She had originally wanted to say, who would dare to mess with Han Xiao’s daughter, but then she was worried that it would touch on Jiang Chunai’s sad memories, so she simply didn’t mention it.
But this matter still made her secretly happy for a while: Han Xiao, oh, Han Xiao, now your daughter is in my hands.
Although the memories were already distant, when she thought of the days when she had fought side by side with Han Xiao, Chang Xin still felt quite emotional.
The little snake seemed to have a spirit. It coiled around Jiang Chunai’s wrist, very intimate, and was unwilling to leave. It even used its small, thin snake tongue to lick Jiang Chunai’s wrist again and again.
Her mother’s wrist seemed to be warmer.
Jiang Chunai’s heart was a complete mess. She just watched as she snuggled on her wrist.
This little life that had just hatched, even though she couldn’t speak, Jiang Chunai vaguely seemed to really hear her calling “mother” in a soft, sweet voice.
That sound went straight to the softest part of her heart, making her unconsciously want to take good care of this little one, to accompany her as she grew up, and to experience all the little moments of the future together.
Her heart suddenly calmed down.
“Wow! Chunai, why don’t you give her a nickname first? In my opinion, let’s call her Niannian…” Chang Xin was still teasing.
The tear stains on Yan Linglong’s face had not yet dried. She only said, “What a good little snake baby.”
The words of her two senior and junior sisters were intertwined in her ears, and the warmth from her wrist came over her. In a daze, Jiang Chunai actually felt that it wouldn’t matter if it went on like this forever, for all eternity.
She and her, and her senior and junior sisters.
Jiang Chunai’s wish at that time came true.
The seasons changed, spring and autumn passed, and in the blink of an eye, fifteen years had passed.
Her precious daughter had also grown up.
In fact, logically speaking, they were all descendants of Nuwa, and they all had the blood of a snake, but the only one who could change between a snake and a human like her daughter was her.
Jiang Chunai had originally given her a beautiful name, but she had insisted on choosing one for herself. Jiang Chunai had been a bit angry at that time and had asked her what name she wanted.
The little snake girl poked her two fingers together, and with a glance at the lazy civet cat in the corner, she said loudly, “I want to be called Tianli!”
Jiang Chunai chewed on the two words suspiciously. “Tianli? Why do you want to be called that?”
However, her daughter was very serious. “Because I like to eat sweets, and I just saw a lazy civet cat!”
So, for her, a snake, to be called “Tianli” was really a matter of course, a very natural thing.
Jiang Chunai’s tightly furrowed brow never relaxed, but as a magnanimous mother, she still agreed to her daughter’s request to act on behalf of heaven. “Alright, if you want to be called Tianli, then so be it!”
Tianli was immediately so happy that her eyes curved into a smile. She came over and hugged her mother, “Yay, yay! I knew mother was the best to me!”
Jiang Chunai had no choice but to reach out and flick her forehead gently. “How dare I disagree with you? Alright, you’ve changed your name. Remember to tell your aunts, sisters, and younger sisters how this name came about.”
Her daughter still had a serious look on her face and said, “I know, I’ll definitely tell them!”
“It was mother who let me change it!”
Jiang Chunai: !!!
She remembered that this child was already fifteen years old this year, so she said she would take her to her Master’s sect for a blood test.
It just so happened that she had changed her name, so she could formally join the sect with her new name.
Tianli puffed out her beautiful, dark eyes and asked her mother what a blood test was.
Her appearance was a perfect inheritance of her two mothers.
Her peach blossom eyes were from Jiang Chunai, and her pupil color was from Han Xiao. So, when she was in a huff with Jiang Chunai as a child, her eyes would turn a pale gold color.
Jiang Chunai briefly explained to Tianli what it was and then had her follow her.
Fifteen years had passed, and the eight frames hanging in the air were still eight, with no new additions.
Jiang Chunai was a little surprised at first, but later she was even more surprised when she knew that she was the only one in the eighth frame.
Tianli pulled her mother’s sleeve and said to her, “Mother, then after I give my blood, you won’t be lonely anymore.”
Jiang Chunai stroked Tianli’s furry head and said gently, “Yes, ever since you came, mother has not been lonely anymore.”
The lonely blood frame, her life was also. Thinking of this, Jiang Chunai felt a sense of comfort.
Tianli did as she was told and obediently did it.
As they had expected, in the only blood frame that Jiang Chunai was in, there was another drop of thick blood.
This was her daughter.
Tianli happily nestled in her mother’s arms. “Hehehehe, now I’m with mother!”
“Yes, with mother, mother won’t be lonely,” Jiang Chunai said with a smile, still stroking her furry head, but her heart was filled with some strange emotions.
…In the air, there were still the eight frames.
Her daughter had come, and was in the same frame as her. There seemed to be no problem.
Besides her daughter Tianli formally joining Yanqiu, many changes had also taken place in the three realms.
Ever since Jiang Chunai had stabbed Han Xiao with a dagger, and Yu Lingzi had come and burned down the Youyun Hall, the former City Lord of the Crimson Smelting City, Pugu Yanxi’s sister, Pugu Yanjin, had immediately mobilized her remaining forces and, relying on her own and her brother’s accumulated reputation, had taken over the Crimson Smelting City.
Pugu Yanxi was really dead. Ah, so he was really dead.
Jiang Chunai had very slowly, very slowly pieced together the relevant memories from her memory. It seemed that in the past, someone had told her about this.
She had said that Pugu Yanxi was a nuisance, and it was better to kill him.
The Nether Realm had lost the dominant Han Xiao and had fallen into disputes again.
As for the immortal sects, there had also been changes.
After Han Xiao’s death, the remaining immortal sects had gathered together and had hunted down Chongji’s remnant soul everywhere. Although they had not completely eliminated Him, the world had returned to peace.
Jiang Chunai’s old acquaintance, or rather, old enemy, Su Yanchen, was now thriving in the Mengling Immortal Manor. It was said that with just a little more opportunity, she could be promoted to sect leader.
She was also very young. Even though she had only heard about her deeds, Jiang Chunai still couldn’t help but think of another person.
…Actually, after that person, there were no more geniuses in the world.
But this person had become a taboo for everyone.
Even Jiang Chunai had not told their daughter Tianli about Han Xiao. Tianli was clearly fifteen years old, but her mind was still not mature enough.
She speculated that it was because she had stayed in the snake egg for too long before, but Jiang Chunai felt it was fine. After all, they lived for a long time, and it was also good to mature slowly.
But today, Tianli was being particularly naughty. She found that her mother was in a daze, so she turned into her snake form and gently wrapped herself around her mother’s foot.
Jiang Chunai was so scared that she trembled all over, and without saying a word, she picked up this cat snake and glared at her, “What’s going on?”
Tianli was scared by her mother’s eyes, but she still said with a grin, “Come on, Mother, we’re all snakes; why are you doing this to me?”
Only then did Jiang Chunai let go of her vital point and snorted, “Then why did you wrap yourself around me without saying a word?”
Tianli obediently turned into a human, but the next moment, she suddenly approached Jiang Chunai’s face and asked seriously, “Mother, my-my mother?”
She had deliberately changed her address, her dark eyes fixed on Jiang Chunai.
Jiang Chunai’s chest suddenly trembled. She suddenly wanted to avoid Tianli’s eyes, so she avoided the important and dwelt on the trivial, “You’re asking me where I am? What’s the point?”
But Tianli shook her head and denied, “No, mother, I’m asking where my mother has gone.”
Now Jiang Chunai could no longer pretend to be foolish.
Her face was slightly flushed, and she stood up with a “thud” and said, “Who told you these things? Tell mother, I’ll go and talk to her now!”
If the child asked this, she must have been bullied.
Jiang Chunai was not a person without a childhood.
When she was a child in the village, she had met such a sister. Because her mother had died early, she had been bullied by the little hooligans from the neighboring village, who had said that the little sister was an unmanaged wild seed. This had made Jiang Chunai very angry.
Even though her physique was not particularly strong, she had still stubbornly picked up a sharpened tree branch and had beaten those little hooligans.
Seeing her mother’s angry look, Tianli knew that her mother had misunderstood, so she quickly pulled Jiang Chunai back and defended herself, “It’s not like that, mother!”
Jiang Chunai had a hard time being pulled back. “Then what is it like?”
“My sisters are all very good to me, they would never laugh at me,” Tianli first comforted Jiang Chunai, and then continued, “But everyone has only one mother. Today, Ah Qiu said I have two mothers, so they all looked at me with envy.”
“But I don’t know who my other mother is, so I came back to ask you, mother,” she said with a smile, looking at Jiang Chunai very sincerely.
That was also true.
After all, this was Yanqiu. Jiang Chunai had just, in a moment, substituted her own experience.
Yanqiu was different from other places.
“Where has my other mother gone?” Tianli still wanted to know.
However, Jiang Chunai did not answer her question, but lowered her head to look at the incompleteness of her right ring finger.
Yes, her ring finger was still incomplete. Yu Lingzi had actually sent her the recovery liquid from the Pond of Rebirth, but Jiang Chunai had not used it.
To grow it back, would that be to start over?
This question, Jiang Chunai had already given herself the answer fifteen years ago.
No one could turn back and go back to the beginning.
If it was broken, let it be broken.
At least she still had one thing that was complete—she had always kept the twin jade rings that Immortal Lord Yang Nian had given her, wearing them around her neck.
The twin jade rings were now intact.
In order not to let them fall, Jiang Chunai had even specifically found a kind of immortal rope and had tied them tightly.
She already had something complete, so she didn’t care about this incomplete finger—
it was because of this incomplete ring finger that she now had a title in Yanqiu, “Nameless Aunt.”
Nameless Aunt’s strength was formidable, her cultivation unfathomable. Not only did she know the moves of Yanqiu, but she also knew the moves of the Bright Snow Sect—this was something everyone in Yanqiu knew.
Even though the Bright Snow Sect was now not as good as the number one Mengling Immortal Manor, in terms of swordsmanship, the declining Bright Snow Sect was still to be respected.
There were rumors that Nameless Aunt had once cultivated in the Bright Snow Sect for a period of time, and some said that she had become a Dao companion with a person from the Bright Snow Sect, which was why she knew the moves of the Bright Snow Sect…
But there were many rumors, and all of them were plausible.
Jiang Chunai didn’t care what image she had in their minds. In short, she had to go to the sword hall and supervise these little girls in their sword practice.
Originally, she had said she would “give Tianli a piece of her mind.” Who would dare to point fingers at her daughter?
Now it seemed that she had been worrying too much. The people of Yanqiu were not like Mengling.
She arrived at the sword hall on time. The first thing Jiang Chunai had to do was to count the number of people.
In the third row, sixth column, a round-faced young girl in a blue robe stood straight, her face serious.
The female cultivator next to her also copied her and stood straight.
However, Jiang Chunai looked over with one glance and blew a breath without mercy—
The next moment, the woman next to her had her ear pulled. “Tell me, where did she go to play again?”
“Sob, sob—it hurts, it hurts, Aunt, it hurts!” the female cultivator covered her ear and repeatedly begged for mercy. “She didn’t go to play!”
Jiang Chunai saw that her ear had been pinched red and finally let go, her expression calm. “She didn’t go to play, then where did she go?”
The cultivator who had just been standing straight beside her instantly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
An illusion. These lazy people who liked to sneak out to play, whatever spell they used, Jiang Chunai was already very familiar with.
The cultivator carefully glanced at Jiang Chunai and then explained, “Actually, actually, Junior Sister has been missing for a long time.”
Jiang Chunai frowned, knowing that these two were the most playful: you help me cover up when I go out to play today, and I’ll help you trick the master when I go out to play tomorrow.
When the other instructors came, they would turn a blind eye, but Jiang Chunai would not let them off easily.
…Who let her suffer in this matter?
If not for helping that Zeng Jun, that bastard, she would not have gone through so much.
Of course, perhaps things would have turned out differently.
“She hasn’t come back? Then did she tell you where she went?” Jiang Chunai asked.
The cultivator lowered her head. “She said she was just going to Lailu Town, but I’ve already been there three times, and I’ve even asked my fellow disciples to look for her, but we still haven’t found Ah Wen.”
Jiang Chunai’s expression did not change. After a moment, she looked at the others and confirmed that everyone else had arrived—if other instructors came, some people would be lazy, but with her, most would arrive.
She said, “I’ll go find her.”
Jiang Chunai often did this, going out to find missing cultivators. Including the way she had first arrived at Yanqiu, it was also like this.
This kind of thing was commonplace.
The cultivator looked up in surprise.
But Jiang Chunai turned around and walked to the front of the group, telling them to practice on their own and to leave when the time was up.
Unfortunately, she had just given her instructions when she saw the travel-worn Chang Xin rushing over.
Chang Xin’s face was anxious. Seeing that Jiang Chunai also looked like she was in a hurry, she asked directly, “Chunai, is someone missing?”
Jiang Chunai saw the solemnity in Chang Xin’s eyes and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It seemed something had happened.
