Chapter 38: So You’re Just a Sister?

***

As night gradually fell, a cute girl followed behind a cold and aloof girl, speaking with slight excitement:

“Su Wanqing! I just encountered a very cute little fox!”

“Little fox?”

A trace of confusion appeared on Su Wanqing’s delicate face.

“Yes, a tiny little one, really very cute.”

Lin Muyu was still reminiscing about the tactile sensation of touching it, soft and very comfortable.

Whether in her past life or this life, what she loved most were fluffy little animals.

In her past life, she had petted several cats and dogs until they went bald.

Even those cats and dogs that had been petted bald would walk around her in circles.

This was also one of the reasons she was willing to rescue Lin Xiaoyun.

Lin Muyu’s principle was: tactile sensation decides everything!

Thinking of this, Lin Muyu unconsciously shifted her gaze upward, looking at Su Wanqing’s smooth and silky hair.

Mm, except for tigresses.

Although Su Wanqing had never really gotten angry with her, she just felt that Su Wanqing was very fierce!

Especially at night…

Wait, what am I thinking about!

Lin Muyu shook her head to shake out the dirty thoughts from her mind.

However, the key reason for saving Lin Xiaoyun was because Lin Xiaoyun reminded her of the children she had once taught.

Those flower buds that had already withered…

“How could that be?”

Su Wanqing seemed to think of something, her tone somewhat hesitant.

“There shouldn’t be any animals in the Ancient Cultivation Towers… unless you went far from the boundary stones and encountered remnant ancient demonic beasts.”

“Ancient demonic beasts?”

Lin Muyu showed a look of astonishment.

Having been in this world for so long, she naturally had heard of creatures called demonic beasts.

She had even encountered one after running away from home…

Demonic beasts were fierce monsters of this world that had lost their rationality due to being tainted by demonic energy.

And because of the corruption from demonic energy, their bodies had been greatly enhanced, becoming invulnerable to blades and spears, impervious to water and fire.

The demonic energy also had strong contaminating properties on normal living beings, so ordinary cultivators dared not approach them even slightly.

This also meant that cultivators had no chance of victory when facing demonic beasts of the same realm.

Fortunately, since most demonic beasts lacked rationality, although they possessed formidable individual strength, they didn’t understand cooperation.

This gave humans the opportunity to defeat the demonic beasts one by one.

And ancient demonic beasts were the kings among them.

Because the demonic energy of ancient times was the purest, the demonic beasts corrupted by it were so powerful they could ignore humanity’s numerical advantage.

Only true human prodigies were qualified to battle them.

Lin Muyu couldn’t believe that the little fox that looked so well-behaved could be an ancient demonic beast.

“But it probably isn’t. If it were, you couldn’t possibly be standing here talking to me.”

Su Wanqing’s cold words immediately made Lin Muyu breathe a sigh of relief.

If the little fox were an ancient demonic beast, she wouldn’t be able to pet it anymore!

“If it’s not, then there aren’t many who could infiltrate Qinglan Sect and enter the Ancient Cultivation Towers.”

Su Wanqing looked at Lin Muyu with some gravity.

“You, don’t get yourself targeted.”

“Don’t worry, it’s just a little fox.”

Lin Muyu’s tone was relaxed, she couldn’t believe a little fox could have any bad intentions.

“But why do the Ancient Cultivation Towers still have remnant ancient demonic beasts?”

“It’s said that when the founding sect master of Qinglan Sect discovered the Ancient Cultivation Towers from the World Tree branch, he found each level filled with ancient demonic beasts.”

Speaking of this, Su Wanqing’s tone suddenly rose.

“And the founding sect master, who had already reached the pinnacle of the world, in order to explore the hope of further advancement, resolutely ventured deep inside, killing all the ancient demonic beasts within, leaving only a few particularly powerful demonic beasts to survive.”

“Afterward, the founding sect master established boundary stones in the Ancient Cultivation Towers to protect the cultivation of future generations.”

“So that’s how it was!”

Lin Muyu immediately felt some admiration for the founding sect master.

After all, in her past world, which young person hadn’t had such dreams?

She too had once dreamed of wielding a sword alone, protecting the world’s peace for a lifetime.

It’s just that in her past life, she was gradually worn down by life, her passion gradually growing cold.

But in this life, she seemed to have the opportunity to become such a person.

“It’s time to go.”

As the yellowing sunset slowly moved downward, Su Wanqing summoned her Frost Sword, carrying Lin Muyu as they flew toward Jade Lotus Peak.

Looking at the colorful clouds illuminated by the setting sun, Lin Muyu’s heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

It seemed familiar…

Lin Muyu hugged Su Wanqing’s slender waist, watching the beautiful scenery of the gradually setting sun, unconsciously leaning her face against Su Wanqing’s back.

In her past life, she seemed to have seen such beautiful sunsets too.

It’s just that now, flying in the sky, she could see it more clearly.

She couldn’t help but think of her past life.

She had also watched this sunset scenery on her way home from school.

It’s just that back then, she was alone carrying her school bag, walking under the remaining red rays of the setting sun.

However, what was different now from then was that there was one more person beside her.

Although that person was very bad! She liked to bully her…

So what kind of relationship did she and Su Wanqing have now?

Friends? Lovers? Family?

It couldn’t be lovers. Although the two of them had already done that.

But those were all accidents. Love was never about actions, but about the heart.

And she, this villainous cannon fodder ugly duckling, wasn’t worthy of the female lead white swan’s love.

According to the world’s rules, the female lead would eventually end up with the male lead.

She only hoped that after Su Wanqing got together with Ye Fan in the future, she could still be her senior sister or… older sister.

Having lacked love since childhood, she very much hoped to have a family member who could accompany her.

Although they had only met for a few days, Lin Muyu had already seen through Su Wanqing.

She was very pure, kind-hearted, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Except for liking to bully her, Lin Muyu couldn’t find any faults.

The female lead, truly deserving of the title.

Of course, being an older sister… was also very suitable!

After taking revenge in the future, when everything settled down, she really wanted to continue this kind of life.

Going to “class” every day, then waiting for Su Wanqing to come pick her up to go back, while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

She would already be very satisfied with that.

“Thank you.” Lin Muyu moved close to Su Wanqing’s ear and said softly.

“Thank me?” As if hearing some incredible word, Su Wanqing’s body shook, and even the flying sword beneath her feet swayed.

She couldn’t bear this gratitude… because she had done such things to Lin Muyu.

In her eyes, purity was a very important thing for women.

And she had actually taken Lin Muyu’s purity.

She should take responsibility for this.

“Yes, aside from doing those bad things, you’re a qualified senior sister… very much like my older sister.”

Lin Muyu’s tone was intimate, like treating family, without any ambiguity.

“Just an older sister?” Su Wanqing murmured, a barely perceptible sense of loss flashing in her eyes.

“What did you say?”

Lin Muyu asked somewhat strangely.

“Nothing.”

In an instant, Su Wanqing had adjusted herself.

Time would prove she had the strength to take responsibility!

Under the setting sun.

Lin Muyu hugged Su Wanqing’s waist, gently resting her head on her back, appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way.

Just like a young sister who had just finished school, happily going home with her older sister.

As for whether this older sister really only wanted to be an older sister.

As the younger sister, she had no idea~
