Chapter 71

After being shaken awake, Su Yanxi remained dazed for a while before fully regaining her senses. She looked at the bright sky and towering mountains, feeling utterly confused.

Wait a minute, the female protagonist should still be safely in the palace at this time, living her life as a princess. How did she end up in the cultivation world and even become a disciple of the Xuantian Sect?!

【Since the female lead has been reborn and understands the importance of strength, she naturally won’t sit idly by.】 007 smirked on the side and clearly took pleasure in the situation, 【Haven’t you noticed that the female lead is in disguise? Moreover, her cultivation level has already reached the Foundation Building stage.】

Su Yanxi: “…” What?!

007 paused and added, 【But then again, you’re just a pitiful little cub forcibly brought to Xuantian Sect against your will, so it’s no wonder you couldn’t tell.】

Su Yanxi: “…” 007, it’s time for us to have a showdown and settle this once and for all ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ!

“Now that the Blood Spirit Fruit has been found, make sure it is safely delivered to Father Emperor’s hands.” 

In front of Xuanjian Peak, the young girl held the little white ball in her arms, solemnly instructed the guards with a serious expression, then she turned and left after seeing them nodded at her with tense faces.

Su Yanxi listened for a while before it dawned on her, and things were just like what happened in the original story—the Emperor of the Qingxia Dynasty, who is also the female lead’s father, was afflicted with a strange illness and urgently needed the Blood Spirit Fruit; a spiritual fruit that could only survive in the outskirts of the demon realm used for medicinal purposes.

In the plot, it was the male lead who helped find the Blood Spirit Fruit, laying the foundation for the relationship between the male and the female protagonists.

However, in this lifetime, the female lead had already become a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. Upon hearing about her father’s urgent need for the Blood Spirit Fruit, she led her guards to search for it in the outskirts of the demon realm and accidentally discovered Su Yanxi, bringing her back with her as well.

Clearly, there’s no way to analyze the plot without such information qaq because the female lead has completely deviated from the original storyline after her rebirth!

Su Yanxi chose this world for such a reason; she felt there might be some connection between her previous capture targets. 

That’s why she specifically chose this world, which was not subjected to plot control. Who would have thought that when she had yet to figure out what’s suspicious about the female lead, she was already driven crazy by her unpredictable behaviors qaq!

The girl glanced sideways at the little white ball, who was resting its head on her shoulder, seemingly lost in thought, she then slightly raised an eyebrow and summoned her long sword, riding it towards Xuanjian Peak.

The little white ball’s soft and fluffy fur slightly puffed up, as it quietly perked up its ears, and after hearing the sound of the wind, it couldn’t help but raise its neck in disbelief while still in the girl’s embrace.

It silently rubbed its eyes with its fluffy little paw, making sure that it was indeed in mid-air. Without hesitation, it agilely climbed up the girl’s shoulder, excitedly wagged its tail, and curiously looked down at the tiny black dots below with its bright, blue cat-like eyes.

The girl, on the other hand, expressionlessly observed the fluffy tail swaying back and forth in front of her, swinging back and forth…

Then, she squinted her eyes mischievously.

With a slight curve on her lips, she raised her fingers touching the tail, which felt great to the touch, and lightly pinched it—

The small white ball’s body suddenly stiffened, and all fur on its tail stood on end, causing it to lose control and fall from the girl’s shoulder.

“Meow-meow—!”

Fortunately, the girl quickly caught the tip of its tail then lifted the little white ball slightly, locking her eyes with a pair of blue cat eyes.

“Would you dare to be so audacious next time? Huh?” Her clear and graceful voice entered its ears.

The little white ball heaved a sigh of relief, then spread out its limbs, hung upside down in the air, and closed its eyes again, pretending to be dead.

Seeing that it was still so disobedient, the girl’s gaze slightly darkened, and she mercilessly let go of her grip.

As a result, the originally soft and limp body soared through the air like a shooting star, then with a “swish”, it plummeted straight down from the sky!

Desperately attempting to spread the wings on her back but failing, Su Yanxi cried out loud: “Help me ahh ahh qaq!”

Naturally, the girl couldn’t just let it fall. Thinking that this little rascal should have learned its lesson by now, she swiftly descended on her flying sword and lifted it up again, then she looked at the little white ball, whose eyes were still spinning, with a smile that seemed somewhat mocking and asked, “Do you understand your mistake this time?”

Once it came to its senses, the little white ball, whose white fur had puffed up all over its body, glared at the detestable human with indignation but refused to admit defeat.

Very well, it seemed like this rascal hasn’t learned its lesson yet.

The girl frowned in displeasure and contemplated whether she should release it again. However, this time, Su Yanxi quickly used her four paws to desperately cling to the girl’s arm and wrapped itself around her like a limpet.

Noticing the little white ball’s bright blue eyes were spinning round and round, the girl couldn’t help but raise the corner of her lips. She had a feeling that she had seen this same expression somewhere before; a strangely familiar sight that involuntarily softened her heart.

How could such a foolish little thing be the wicked and cunning archenemy from her previous life? She must have been possessed, huh.

The pair finally arrived at Xuanjian Peak, as the girl jumped down from her flying sword, swung the little white ball by its tail, and skillfully retrieved her sword before strolling towards her dwelling.

“Junior Sister Helian !”

“Junior Sister Helian, you finally returned! The Sect Master has been talking non-stop about you!”

“Junior Sister Helian is back! Did you encounter anything interesting during your trip down the mountain?”

The girl seemed to have a good reputation, as many cultivators greeted her with smiles along the way, and she responded with gentle nods each time.

However, as the girl returned to her dwelling and removed her disguise, Su Yanxi suddenly stiffened, and a voice kept echoing in her mind—

【Impossible!】

Naturally, it was 007 who exclaimed, looking horrified as it stared at the girl, as if it had seen a ghost — it was unmistakably the face of He Lianqing from the previous world!

No, it couldn’t be. This had to be a coincidence…

Almost simultaneously, 007 quickly turned to look at its partner, and indeed, she also had a dazed and shocked expression, unable to recover her senses for quite a while.

Compared to 007, Su Yanxi naturally had more thoughts racing through her mind. If it were true that He Lianqing played all the female leads in their past worlds, why didn’t she have these memories? Furthermore, she stayed in the previous world and shouldn’t reappear here…

No, that isn’t quite right. The missions of the female lead department and the supporting female roles department were fundamentally conflicting, so it was impossible for them to be transported to the same world. Besides, He Lianqing was just a VIP human player from the periphery of the female lead department, unlike them, who were internal members created by the Supreme God’s data. How could they repeatedly overlap in the same world?

—What on earth was going on?

Just then, a soft knock on the door interrupted their thoughts.

“Sister Ah Qing, after Master found out that you were back, he insisted on seeing you.” 

A suave young man with a gentle smile knocked on the door and entered, looking at the girl who had just finished tidying up.

The girl’s lips slightly curled up, and she calmly nodded, “Alright, I understand, is there anything else senior brother?”

“Not really, it’s just that when Master learned you were back, he got extremely excited and kept urging me to bring you over.” Lin Lixuan shook his head helplessly, looking like he couldn’t do anything about his little junior sister’s temperament.

Princess He Lian, Sister Ah Qing…

He Lianqing!

The female lead of this world was also named He Lianqing! Was this really just a coincidence?

Su Yanxi looked up and gazed fixedly at the elegant and refined young lady, whose face bore at least seventy percent resemblance to He Lianqing, as uncontrollable complex emotions flickered in her transparent, blue cat-like eyes.

But this familiar feeling…

Facing a similar face, every casual gesture and movement of the girl easily reminded Su Yanxi of He Lianqing, the one who sacrificed herself for her in the previous world and was unable to escape her fate…

Too alike, it was uncannily alike!

Su Yanxi just hadn’t paid attention before, but after the realization, everything about the girl, whether the way she raised her eyebrows, curled her lips or other small habits, seemed to overlap with He Lianqing.

Just as she was trying to continue piecing together the answer, a sharp and excruciating pain suddenly shot through her temples. Su Yanxi let out a muffled groan and instinctively covered her head, which was throbbing painfully.

Lin Lixuan didn’t notice, but He Lianqing’s keen ears picked up the sound of a suppressed moan in the whimper.

Her heart skipped a beat, and before her mind could process what was happening, she had already turned around and subconsciously picked up the small white ball that had somehow found its way onto the table

After flipping Su Yanxi around without finding any obvious wounds, feeling puzzled and furrowed her brows, He Lianqing instinctively infused a stream of spiritual power into her body to investigate the situation.

—No problem.

Lin Lixuan was surprised to see that his mature and composed junior sister, who had always been calm and collected since she became a disciple under the same master, now showed a worried and anxious expression for the first time, all because of the fluffy white ball in her arms.

“What’s wrong with the little one?” He couldn’t help but walk over and ask curiously.

“I don’t know… I infused spiritual power into her, but I couldn’t find any problems. Yet, she seems to be in even more pain now.” 

He Lianqing had long forgotten that the small white ball in her arms was the mortal enemy from her previous life. Seeing her in pain and agony, her heart was tugged, feeling restless as if experiencing the discomfort herself and wishing she could transfer Su Yanxi’s pain onto herself.

“Don’t worry junior sister. The little one will be fine, so you should calm down.” Lin Lixuan said gently and noticed that He Lianqing’s originally smooth forehead was now sweating slightly due to anxiety. He comforted her in a gentle voice and then wondered, “It seems like she has a headache. Could it be that she’s not accustomed to the dense spiritual energy here in Xuantian Sect?”

Given that she had recently come back from the mountainside and impulsively brought a pet along, it is quite understandable that the pet she brought may not be accustomed to this unfamiliar environment.

He Lianqing was taken aback, her black pupils dilating involuntarily, and she suddenly remembered Su Yanxi’s race.

As a demonic beast, Ming Ni grew up practicing with demonic energy, so she would strongly reject places with dense spiritual energy, and especially considering the fact that He Lianqing had infused spiritual power into her earlier!
