After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 34
At the same time, in the Qishan Mountain, Shen Jue was seated on a high platform, watching the scenes in several water mirrors along with the other sect masters.
His gaze quickly swept across the other mirrors and settled on one of them.
The mirror was smooth as silk, and the scene reflected in it made him widen his eyes slightly.
A Taoist nun beside him looked over and smiled, “Sect Master Shen, isn’t that your daughter? I haven’t seen her in a long time, she’s grown up so much, and she’s become even more charming and lovely.”
Shen Jue politely replied, “Palace Master He is flattering me. She’s just a mischievous little girl.”
This Taoist nun was He Yeyu, the Palace Master of Feng Palace. She let out a surprised sound and asked curiously, “The woman beside her looks extraordinary and familiar…”
Shen Jue sighed, “That person is also my disciple, Liu Shuang.”
“Ah, so it’s her!” He Yeyu recalled the rumors about this woman in the cultivation world. A once-in-a-generation genius, she couldn’t break through the Qi Condensation stage and instead became a waste, despised by others.
She couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and said, “I didn’t expect the two of them to have such a good relationship…”
However, what she said was also what surprised Shen Jue.
When did Shen Qiqi become so close with Liu Shuang?
Not only were they casually hugging and holding hands, but their conversation was also quite intimate. Seeing Liu Shuang’s indifferent expression, she didn’t seem to be displeased by it either.
Could it be, as Shen Qiqi had said, that she hadn’t done anything to Liu Shuang before?
Or perhaps, this girl was secretly plotting something?
After all, it wasn’t the first time that Shen Qiqi had deliberately “befriended” Liu Shuang and then made her look foolish to be laughed at by everyone.
Shen Jue frowned slightly, his cold expression as calm as a still pond, but his heart was already churning.
Meanwhile, in the Nightmare Realm, Shen Qiqi had forgotten the “vicious and spoiled” persona she had painstakingly created in front of her cheap old father, and was almost about to OOC because of it.
She was observing the terrain. The vast wasteland was covered in yellow soil and withered grass. Except for a few crows on the trees and vultures circling low in the sky, there was no sign of any other living creature. It looked desolate and pitiful.
Such a wasteland had its advantages and disadvantages. Although the view was wide open, it was not easy to be restricted or ambushed by the terrain, but it also lacked places to hide and shelter. Once powerful monsters attacked, it would be very easy to expose oneself.
It seemed a bit difficult!
Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes, suffering from indecision, and finally left the decision to Liu Shuang beside her, “Senior Sister, where should we go first?”
Liu Shuang said, “No hurry.”
Her gaze passed over Shen Qiqi and fell on the crowd gathered ahead.
The nearly a hundred Qingli Sect disciples and disciples from other sects were all standing still, with various expressions, thinking about the same question as Shen Qiqi.
In the midst of the dead silence, someone suddenly stood up and suggested, “Everyone, I have a suggestion! Why don’t we all act together first, so that if something happens later, we can help each other.”
Everyone looked at each other, and many people agreed. Others raised objections, “If we all go together, how will the results be calculated? There will inevitably be arguments over the distribution, and how do we decide?”
The man smiled slightly and said softly, “What this Senior Brother said makes sense. I’ve also considered this issue. Why don’t we distribute the results equally according to everyone’s contribution? What do you all think?”
Hey, isn’t that just distribution according to work!
Shen Qiqi looked at the person who made the suggestion, a familiar white-clothed inner disciple of the Qingli Sect.
He looked very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a righteous demeanor. He was also a good speaker, and immediately many indecisive people chose to stand on his side.
A female cultivator beside him called out, “Senior Brother Zhao Ke, in your opinion, which direction should we go now?”
Zhao Ke thought for a moment and smiled, “This place is too desolate, it’s best to choose a clear landmark to move towards. Let’s go in the direction of that brown mountain!”
There was also this part of the plot in the original book. Zhao Ke stood out when everyone was leaderless and led a group of people towards… a tragic path with no return.
And it was because of following them that the female lead encountered a heavenly ranked demonic beast and was fortunately saved by Si Tuyun.
Shen Qiqi looked at Liu Shuang beside her and asked, “Senior Sister, why don’t we follow them as well?” It would be a chance to experience the plot and meet the so-called young master of the Demon Realm, Si Tuyun, who was a loyal and alluring beauty!
Liu Shuang nodded, “Let’s go.” She also had something to discuss with Si Tuyun.
The two of them quickly blended into the crowd, trailing behind, acting as two ordinary bystanders.
As promised, Zhao Ke led everyone towards the brown mountain range.
The scenery along the way remained very desolate. The scorching sun was relentless, and the heat was unbearable. At first, everyone chatted and laughed as if they were on a trip, but later, due to the excessive heat, they became exhausted and gradually fell silent.
Shen Qiqi held an ice pop in one hand and walked closely beside Liu Shuang. She had made this ice pop in the herb garden earlier, using water element magic to freeze well water and adding concentrated orange juice, making it very refreshing to eat.
Liu Shuang turned her head to look at her from time to time, her expression unfathomable.
Seeing that she was very interested, Shen Qiqi raised the ice pop to her and said, “Senior Sister, would you like to try a bite?”
Liu Shuang looked down and her gaze fell on her hand, “…What is this?”
“An ice pop! It’s refreshing and thirst-quenching, a summer must-have.” Shen Qiqi had a circle of orange juice residue on her cheek and smiled, “Come on, have a bite. If you don’t like it, I’ll cut off my head and kick it to you!”
Liu Shuang was involuntarily moved by her overly shocking endorsement and nodded slightly.
Shen Qiqi reached out and tried to hand the ice pop to Liu Shuang. Unexpectedly, Liu Shuang lowered her head and took a small bite directly from her hand.
When she raised her face, her full red lips were covered with a thin layer of water, alluring and seductive.
Liu Shuang looked at her and her lips parted, “Not bad.”
Shen Qiqi was stunned and asked in a low voice, “Do… do you want more?”
Liu Shuang shook her head, “You eat it.”
Shen Qiqi lowered her head dejectedly and took a bite of the ice pop. Even the pure ice couldn’t melt the high temperature on her cheeks. Having to endure the beauty of her senior sister every day was a sweet burden.
She sucked on the crispy ice all the way, looking particularly out of place among the tired people.
Soon, someone asked in surprise, “Junior Sister, what are you eating?”
Shen Qiqi finished the one she was holding, sucked her fingers, and took out another strawberry-flavored one from her pocket, “Ice pop.”
Another person exclaimed in shock, “How could you bring these things into the Nightmare Realm?”
“I have others too.” Shen Qiqi patted her storage pouch, which was filled with various snacks, “Do you want some? Exchange them with spirit stones, first come first served.”
The Qingli Sect had always adhered to the principles of strict rules and ascetic cultivation, and the disciples were all proud and arrogant. How could they admit that they were attracted to such a small snack? Sure enough, that person shook his head and declined, saying, “No, no need.”
Shen Qiqi shrugged regretfully.
In fact, everyone was already parched, and after he refused, the others were too embarrassed to ask for it, so they could only hold back and pretend not to care.
After continuing to walk for a while, someone in front of the group suddenly shouted, “Hey, I think I see a lake!”
Everyone immediately craned their necks to look forward. Someone agreed, “I saw it too!”
“Me too, it’s right up ahead!”
Instantly, everyone excitedly rushed forward, their steps more energetic.
Shen Qiqi tiptoed to look, and sure enough, she could see a clear lake not far ahead. There were a few trees surrounding the lake, and a gentle breeze blew through them, making it look very cool.
After being hot for so long, everyone lost their reason and rushed forward, instantly surrounding the lake.
Someone eagerly looked at Zhao Ke, “Senior Brother Zhao, we’re all so hot, why don’t we all jump in and cool off?”
Zhao Ke pondered for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement under everyone’s eager gaze.
However, Shen Qiqi didn’t move, instead quickly pulling Liu Shuang away.
Liu Shuang turned to look at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Qiqi, who knew the plot, sighed and looked at the group of people jumping into the water like dumplings with a pitying gaze, shaking her head, “There’s something wrong with this place.”
Liu Shuang’s eyes darkened, as if she was thinking about something.
Thank you everyone, hehe =v=”
