Chapter 14 014 I Feel an Instant Connection with My Senior Sister
Lu Yuanyuan, shameless as ever, pressed her cheek against the other person's chest in one go. The moment her face touched the other person's chest, a very straightforward thought flashed through her mind.
—Such a flat chest.
Somewhat inappropriately, a hint of envy welled up in Lu Yuanyuan's heart.
Her body is only fifteen years old now, still in the developmental stage, and sometimes her breasts ache slightly. But since this is already her second time around, she knows very well what she will look like in a few years.
She still prefers this small, flat chest.
Yin Xiaozhu glanced at her indifferently, then suddenly, without making a sound, she subtly shifted her body to the side, changing their posture and creating a slight distance between them. Lu Yuanyuan went from lying on her chest to leaning against Yin Xiaozhu's arm.
It seems that Yin Xiaozhu doesn't like strangers getting close to her when they're meeting for the first time. However, she didn't push him away and was even willing to hold his back... If that's the case, then Yin Xiaozhu probably doesn't discriminate against ordinary people.
There's hope.
As long as Yin Xiaozhu doesn't feel disgusted, there's a chance to continue getting closer to her.
Lu Yuanyuan pondered for a moment, then continued to feign weakness and timidity.
Yin Xiaozhu sat sideways on the edge of the bed, supporting Lu Yuanyuan's back with his right hand and holding Lu Yuanyuan's right hand with his left, slowly adjusting it so that their palms were touching and their fingers were interlaced. He said, "Relax, don't resist."
As soon as the words were spoken, a gentle yet powerful spiritual energy suddenly poured into Lu Yuanyuan's body from their clasped hands. Her body trembled slightly, her vision flashed like stars, and she felt the spiritual energy flowing through her meridians.
The scope of alchemy cultivation is very broad. They not only refine pills and prepare medicines, but also practice both medicine and poison, making them arguably the most versatile support in the cultivation world. Upon reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, they can also learn a spell called "Soul Probing Technique," which allows them to inject spiritual energy into the injured person's body, much like taking an X-ray.
Perhaps because she was currently in a mortal body and couldn't withstand the impact of spiritual energy, it took her a while for her vision to gradually recover. She found herself slumped on Yin Xiaozhu's shoulder, and when she looked up, she could see his slightly upturned chin.
Yin Xiaozhu held her long hair back with a slender black jade hairpin. She had a delicate, high nose bridge, long, deep-set double eyelids, and long, thin eyelashes. Her earlobes were thin and unpierced, appearing fair and clean. She...
To pass the time, Lu Yuanyuan had almost counted how many eyelashes the other person had. But the Soul-Searching Technique wasn't over yet.
Moreover, she wasn't sure if she was just imagining things, but she felt that the spiritual energy seemed to linger in her abdomen for a while.
Lu Yuanyuan thought of a possibility, and her nerves suddenly skipped a beat, feeling a little uneasy.
Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. In her previous life, although she hadn't cultivated this spell, she knew that the Soul Probing Technique was generally used on Golden Core cultivators.
Anything capable of harming a Golden Core cultivator is nothing more than evil spirits.
In other words, this kind of magic should be very sensitive to evil spirits.
The system had said that she, possessing the original owner's body, could be categorized with the evil spirits that possessed living beings, possessing a very heavy Yin energy in her life force. Would Yin Xiaozhu notice anything amiss?
Fortunately, it seems she was overthinking it.
After a moment, Yin Xiaozhu released her, his gaze returning to her face, and said, "Your body is too weak. I'm afraid the Bone-Piercing Bone Disease can't be resolved in one go. At least, you'll need to recuperate for half a year."
Lu Yuanyuan was taken aback.
Half a year is a long time?
Seriously? In her past life, she only spent a month in bed and was already perfectly healthy. Why is it so much worse in this second life?
Is this also part of the butterfly effect?
Because the timing and manner of her poisoning differed in her two lifetimes, the severity of her aftereffects also varied.
...Never mind, the answer isn't important, as long as it's treatable.
Lu Yuanyuan snapped out of her daze and tucked her sleeves in: "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Fu Luan glared at her and corrected her, "Hey, you're not a direct disciple of Mount Shu, so you can't call me Senior Sister. You have to call me Yuanjun."
Lu Yuanyuan then realized that she had accidentally mispronounced the name used outside the book.
With a slight shift in her thoughts, Lu Yuanyuan lowered her head gently, twisting her fingers as if feigning docility: "I'm sorry, Yuanjun, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I used to read some novels about the cultivation world in the mortal realm, where people addressed elders as 'senior brother' or 'senior sister,' and I envied their friendship. After coming to Mount Shu, I learned that there are such noble, elegant, and gentle fairies as Yuanjun in the world. I felt an instant connection with you, Yuanjun. The first time I saw you, I felt a warm glow in my heart and a deep sense of closeness, so I momentarily forgot my boundaries and unconsciously used the terms from the novels..."
Scientific experiments have shown that when two people meet for the first time, if one of them expresses their liking directly, the other person will unconsciously have a higher impression of the former.
Flattery never fails. It costs nothing to say nice things, and as long as it gets closer to Yin Xiaozhu, what's wrong with showering her with compliments? It won't hurt her.
After speaking, Lu Yuanyuan raised her head to observe the other person's reaction.
Yin Xiaozhu's eyes seemed to flicker, and he looked at her with an inscrutable expression. Suddenly, he curled his lips into a smile: "I also feel quite compatible with you. Qi Chang told me your name is Lu Yuanyuan?"
Lu Yuanyuan was taken aback.
The other person's reaction seemed a little different from what she had expected... Was it just polite talk?
Lu Yuanyuan nodded cautiously: "Yes."
“The poison from the Bone-Penetrating Green needs to be neutralized every ten days. In between, there might be some unexpected situations that need to be dealt with. I usually live, cultivate, and teach at Danqing Peak, so it's quite troublesome to come and go. Since we get along well, while your poison is still not cleared, you can temporarily move in next to me.” Yin Xiaozhu said, “I will have someone come to pick you up tomorrow.”
Lu Yuanyuan: "...?"
Fuluan: "...!!!"
.
Lu Yuanyuan never imagined that things would develop in such a bizarre direction.
But when she woke up the next day, two young female cultivators who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old came to her temporary cave dwelling and said they wanted to take her away.
Is Yin Xiaozhu such an easy person to please and approach?
Or perhaps it was because she was a doctor with a compassionate heart, and because she was a mortal and of the same sex, that Yin Xiaozhu was less wary of her.
Scenes from her past life flashed before Lu Yuanyuan's eyes.
In her previous life, Yin Xiaozhu hadn't visited her at all at this time. It was only after she recovered from her injuries that Qi Chang took pity on her, seeing her clueless and bewildered expression, and allowed her to become a disciple of the Shu Mountain sect from outside the family.
But Qi Chang only helped her at the beginning, as if he had done a good deed casually. After that, he didn't really care about her development as a nobody.
Because she never became a direct disciple of Master Xuyuan until her death, Lu Yuanyuan never lived in the cave dwelling of a direct disciple for even a single day in her previous life.
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
From the moment Yue Hong let her go, a chain reaction began to occur. The general direction remained the same, but the details changed a lot.
However, as of now, she has not yet seen any pitfalls awaiting her.
Lu Yuanyuan had no luggage with her, and she only had a change of clothes after arriving at Mount Shu. So, after thanking Fu Luan, she boarded the Qilin Boat empty-handed with the two female cultivators.
The Danqing Peak of Mount Shu hangs high in the sky, its slopes adorned with exotic flowers and strange rocks, and waterfalls cascading like rainbows. From here, one can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Mount Shu. However, Lu Yuanyuan didn't have much free time before being led directly to their destination.
Yin Xiaozhu is the daughter of the sect leader and the senior disciple of Danqing Peak. She has her own private palace. There are also side halls, a study, an alchemy room, a bathing pool, and other facilities on both sides.
Two female cultivators led Lu Yuanyuan to the entrance of the side hall, took out a wooden box from their storage bags, and handed it to her.
Lu Yuanyuan took it and opened it, and saw a palm-sized, light green jade pendant inside. She immediately understood.
In Mount Shu, direct disciples not only possess greater spiritual power and higher status, but also enjoy greater wealth than outer disciples. They often employ servants to manage their daily lives—in other words, they hire caregivers.
Those who come to do this are basically students from outside the family who are short of money.
However, if the disciple recruiting servants is particularly attractive—for example, exceptionally generous, possessing exceptionally high spiritual power, or being exceptionally beautiful—then wealthy disciples from other families will vie for the position. Earning money is secondary; if they can receive guidance in cultivation, the trip will be worthwhile.
To ensure the servants could freely enter and exit the seven peaks, the direct disciples would distribute an identity jade token to each of them. This was the one Lu Yuanyuan held.
When she arrived, she heard that Yin Xiaozhu had not taken in any servants for four or five years.
The female cultivator on the right, thinking that Lu Yuanyuan was unfamiliar with the rules, explained, "Miss Lu is not a direct disciple. When moving around Danqing Peak, she needs to carry a jade token as proof of identity at all times. Yuanjun will be back later. Please wait in the room, Miss Lu."
Lu Yuanyuan nodded, indicating that she understood. After the two female cultivators left, she pushed open the door and entered the side hall, where her eyes lit up.
Although the place was called a side hall, it was well-lit, spacious, and elegant, and the bed looked very soft. Lu Yuanyuan was about to go in and take a closer look when a new plot suddenly popped into her mind.
Judging by the time, Duan Lansheng should have already returned from Xing Shitai.
Sigh! This pesky little devil has been driving her crazy with desire ever since she met him. What is she supposed to do with him?
After much deliberation, she decided to personally check on her beloved's situation to put her mind at ease. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching her, Lu Yuanyuan secretly went to the Sword Sect. After inquiring, she learned that Duan Lansheng was currently at the Medicine Pavilion.
Lu Yuanyuan tiptoed to the outside of the medicine hut. Hearing a noise inside, she approached the door and peeked through the window. She saw a section of snowy back; it turned out that Duan Lansheng was applying medicine to himself!
Seeing this, Lu Yuanyuan blushed, her heart pounded, as if a hyperactive rabbit was hiding in her chest. She couldn't help but swallow hard, crouching low, her eyes wide and unblinking. She watched until Duan Lansheng finished applying the medicine, put on his clothes, and left. She craned her neck, inhaling the lingering fragrance of the room with rapt attention, before reluctantly heading home.
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
