Chapter 11: Spring Rain Is Enough to Dye a Stream With New Green (2)
“Elder Martial Sister, we are very worried about you.”
Xiao Jinse gently traced circles on Bai Lian’s toes with her thumb.
“Although you were an Immortal Emperor in your past life and there’s nothing in this world that can stop you, we still worry when you go out. Just like this time, when your avatars suddenly broke, we almost thought you wouldn’t come back again.”
Suddenly, the strength in her hand increased, as if a pair of pliers were clamping down tightly on Bai Lian’s toes.
There was still pain.
But this little bit of pain wouldn’t affect Bai Lian.
She frowned because a new task had appeared.
[Task 1: Step on the Second Martial Sister and rebuke her, “Stay out of my business!”
(Reward: Secret Medicine – Flower Self-Floating and Water Self-Flowing)]
[Task 2: Smile and say, “Don’t worry, I’m sure nothing will happen!”
(Reward: Crystal Clear Jade)]
[Task 3: Comfort the Second Martial Sister, “Yes, it won’t happen again.”
(Reward: +1 Tea Ceremony)]
It was all quite sudden.
Let’s begin with Task 1.
Bai Lian had of course imagined scenes where she might rub her feet against her Martial Sisters. After all, “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian” often did this in the game.
But it was just a thought.
The risk of Task 1 wasn’t particularly high.
But she wasn’t the kind of person who found happiness by crushing her Martial Sister’s body and self-esteem. Even if her Martial Sister willingly asked for it, she would first consider whether it could cause harm.
Bai Lian decisively ignored Task 1.
She was torn between Task 2 and Task 3.
Task 3’s reward was a +1 Tea Ceremony.
When it came to the Tea Ceremony, Bai Lian just wanted to roll her eyes.
Her Tea Ceremony was already at level 16, at least 3 levels higher than other skills, an absurd gap.
Even ordinary tea leaves could become a glowing beverage in her hands.
“Choose Task 3,” Bai Lian decided.
She leaned forward and gently touched the head of the Second Martial Sister with her right hand.
“Well, not in the future.”
Xiao Jinse was speechless.
She had expected Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian to say that.
Putting it all together, doing it was another matter.
“I’m wrong, I dare!”
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian always said this.
Sigh.
No way out.
A promise is better than no promise.
Next time, she could use this line to pressure Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
After a while, Xiao Jinse suddenly screamed.
“What happened?”
Without thinking, Bai Lian tried to pull her foot back, but failed because her ankle was held by the Second Martial Sister.
A year ago, the Second Martial Sister could easily wander around carrying a heavy sword. Now, it was unimaginable how easily she could subdue her, frail and weakened as she was.
“Sorry, Elder Martial Sister,” Xiao Jinse said, letting go of Bai Lian’s toes.
She quickly stuck her head in and began blowing on them.
Puff~
“I got too excited and pressed too hard just now. Elder Martial Sister, are you okay?”
“What can I do?” Bai Lian’s expression remained unchanged.
Truthfully, she wasn’t afraid of pain, but she dreaded the sensation of itching. Especially with her Martial Sister so close to her toes, she couldn’t help but think of what happened last New Year’s Eve.
The people around her kept changing—sometimes it was her Martial Sister, sometimes the Master, and other times it was the game’s special imagery.
What a sin.
She quickly recited the Mantra of Clear Mind in her heart.
Once she had calmed down, she withdrew her foot from the Second Martial Sister’s embrace.
“It’s getting late. Tidy up your things and go notify the other Martial Sisters and the jade rabbit that we will start the class on time at 8 o’clock.”
“Yes,” Xiao Jinse nodded.
She still felt somewhat regretful in her heart; the time spent alone with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was too short.
But she wasn’t upset.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had decided to restart classes to help them improve their skills for the upcoming great competition.
She would work harder!
“Elder Martial Sister, then I…” Xiao Jinse picked up the basin, preparing to pour Bai Lian’s foot-washing water out of the window, when she suddenly noticed something different about Bai Lian.
It had nothing to do with her dress.
Instead, she saw a faint pink hue on Bai Lian’s snow-like white neck.
“…”
Xiao Jinse was puzzled.
Color change?
A flash of realization passed through her mind.
Yes, it did change color!
Dong Dong.
Xiao Jinse’s heartbeat doubled instantly.
She had always thought of Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian as a “Saint” who would never be swayed by external matters.
But now, it seemed…
“Elder Martial Sister, you are becoming more and more like a person!”
“? ”
Xiao Jinse quickly waved her left hand, explaining, “I meant to say, Elder Martial Sister, you’ve finally grown up… Ah, no…” She tightly shut her mouth, her face turning red.
The more she tried to explain, the more chaotic it became.
No.
She shouldn’t have said those words to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!
She ran quickly, carrying the wooden basin.
“Elder Martial Sister, I’ll go and let other Martial Sisters know first.”
“This…” Bai Lian was momentarily at a loss for words.
She looked herself over a few times, head down.
Grow up?
She held herself gently.
Duang~
Bai Lian released her hand vaguely. What had changed? Wasn’t this the same as before?
That’s not right.
Something was wrong with the Second Martial Sister.
With her control over her body, she knew immediately if any extra piece of meat had appeared.
“It’s inexplicable.”
Bai Lian looked up.
She just happened to see the Second Martial Sister rush toward the gate of the courtyard.
“Be careful!”
It was too late.
The Second Martial Sister tripped over the doorway threshold and was flung out.
The Third Martial Sister couldn’t dodge in time and was directly knocked down by the Second Martial Sister’s charge.
With a loud bang, all the water in the wooden basin spilled onto them, and the wooden basin landed directly on the Second Martial Sister’s head.
Finished.
Bai Lian pressed her hand against her forehead.
She knew.
The rivalry between the Second and Third Martial Sisters was the sharpest among these Martial Sisters. They both had strong personalities.
The war was coming!
Bai Lian couldn’t just stand there and watch them fight. This would be a severe blow to creating harmony on Qiongming Peak.
She stood up from the small stool and hurried outside without her shoes and socks.
Things were just as Bai Lian had expected.
In the continuous spring rain, Su Youwei, who had been hit by Xiao Jinse and dazed, slowly shook her head.
She was suddenly engulfed with rage, like a tidal wave from the Qiantang River, as the wooden bowl covering half of her vision pressed down on her.
She remembered.
It was Xiao Jinse who had bumped into her, causing her to be drenched in water from the basin like a drenched chicken.
And she was still shamelessly riding on her waist!
Is this tolerable?
“Xiao Jinse…”
The name was forced from her throat.
Tight.
At this moment, Su Youwei’s fists were clenched tightly!
She swept the basin aside and prepared to launch a heavy punch at Xiao Jinse.
In the past, even if Xiao Jinse felt a bit short, she wouldn’t back down.
But today was different.
She was still full of the words she had just said to Bai Lian.
Quickly, she picked up the basin that Su Youwei had knocked over, then stood up anxiously.
“Sorry… sorry, I was pondering a problem and accidentally poured Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s foot-washing water over you.”
Hey?
Su Youwei, with her fists raised, froze.
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s footbath water?”
Xiao Jinse nodded like a little primary school student who had done something wrong.
Well.
Why didn’t you tell me earlier, the Second Elder Martial Sister?!
Damn it.
Su Youwei, having received the answer, stood up from the mud like a teetotum.
