After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 49
Liu Shuang glanced at the black eagle, retracted her hand, and calmly asked, “Where did this come from?”
Shen Qiqi smiled, “I don’t know, it won’t tell me. But I think… it’s always been by my side!”
“Hmm?”
Shen Qiqi said, “Senior Sister, do you remember the previous promotion competition? When the competition ended and Xiao Wen cheated, a black mist suddenly appeared and saved me.”
Liu Shuang’s eyes flickered, “I remember.”
Shen Qiqi scratched her head and smiled again, “And when we encountered the mirage turtle before, we were also saved by this mist. So I suspect… someone is secretly protecting me.”
Liu Shuang paused, “…Do you know who it is?”
“I don’t know, but I want to keep it a secret for her.” Shen Qiqi lowered her voice and leaned closer to her, whispering mysteriously, “You must not tell anyone else. I told everyone that this mist is my protective artifact, but it’s not. This person should have been by my side all along, but it’s inconvenient to reveal their identity.” Her eyes were bright, and her tone was so serious that it seemed as if she truly believed Liu Shuang wouldn’t tell anyone.
Liu Shuang looked down at her and said, “Then do you want to know who she is?”
Shen Qiqi answered without hesitation, “Of course!”
“And then?”
Shen Qiqi thought for a moment and said seriously, “I want to thank her properly! After all, she saved me twice, she’s my savior.”
Liu Shuang looked at her deeply, “Yes, that’s what you should do.”
“But… Senior Sister, what do you think that person looks like? Is she a man or a woman, is she beautiful?” Shen Qiqi frowned, troubled, “I don’t know what she likes, I want to give her something to express my gratitude.”
In her imagination, this should be a worldly expert with a graceful figure and a transcendent demeanor, who could repel thousands of enemies with a wave of her dust whisk, or a mysterious cultivator wearing a straw hat, a person who is ruthless but says little, usually hidden among ordinary people, seemingly insignificant like a cannon fodder, but capable of defeating a hundred enemies in a critical moment.
Liu Shuang: “…What if she’s not good-looking?”
Shen Qiqi widened her eyes in surprise, “It doesn’t matter if she’s not good-looking! I’m not that superficial.”
Liu Shuang thought to herself: You are.
Shen Qiqi didn’t stop there, and continued to buzz, “By the way, Senior Sister!”
“Hmm?”
“What if she doesn’t want to see me?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Sigh, if she doesn’t want to see me, I won’t be able to find her.” Shen Qiqi suddenly became depressed, wrinkling her face, “Wait, what if she’s not a person? Won’t I be unable to communicate with her!”
Such a delicate manipulation of demonic energy over a long distance required extremely high cultivation and comprehension. In the original book, besides the female lead, there didn’t seem to be a second person… Although this was the case, she had to rule out the female lead first! With her current cultivation, she basically couldn’t do it!
Liu Shuang: “…”
She was silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps she is completely different from what you imagine.”
Shen Qiqi said, “No matter what she looks like, I am very grateful.”
Liu Shuang looked at her deeply, “What if she is someone you would never expect.”
Shen Qiqi was stunned.
The poor and cute black eagle, listening to such a terrifying conversation, had shrunk into a ball, trying to minimize its presence. Its shiny black eyes rolled around, completely losing the majestic aura it had just had. Shen Qiqi hugged it in her arms and gently stroked its feathers, confusedly, “What’s wrong? Are you tired? You look so listless…”
The black eagle dived into Shen Qiqi’s arms and whined softly. It felt very wronged. As part of the demonic energy, it naturally inherited its master’s love and care. Shen Qiqi’s embrace was warm and comfortable, and except for her slightly silly personality, she was much better than the master who was always bad-tempered and cold, so she always loved to run to her. Now that the master didn’t want to reveal her identity, the blame had to be shifted to it. It was really miserable to be a bird.
Liu Shuang glanced at it, her eyes blazing red.
The black eagle froze, poked its head out, and deliberately kept a distance from Shen Qiqi, standing quietly among the pile of corpses like a chicken.
Shen Qiqi: “???” Is there something dirty on me?!
She looked down and saw that her skirt was covered in bl00d and sticky pieces of corpse… Yikes, it really did look pretty dirty.
Liu Shuang said casually, “Don’t mind it.”
“Ah, okay… okay…” Shen Qiqi blinked and looked at Liu Shuang, “Senior Sister, why don’t we go out?” This really isn’t a good place to talk.
Liu Shuang nodded slightly.
Shen Qiqi glanced at her, pointed at her red eyes, and smiled, “Quickly put away your demonic energy. You can’t let other people see you like this.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Liu Shuang’s lips, and she said softly, “You don’t ask me why?”
Shen Qiqi said, “Why? Because of the demonic energy? I knew about it back at cold spring. It’s okay, okay! I don’t mind.” I actually hope you become the Demon Lord soon and take me with you.
Liu Shuang raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to her, “What if I become a demon… aren’t you afraid?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Seeing Liu Shuang lower her head, Shen Qiqi calmly reached out and pinched her cheeks, pulling them left and right, “Does becoming a demon mean you’ll forget about your relatives? You’re still my Senior Sister.” While Senior Sister is still a pure white flower, I have to take advantage of it and pinch her a few more times. I won’t dare to pinch her later when she becomes a great demon lord!
Liu Shuang, whose cheeks were deformed, “…” No one has dared to do this to her for hundreds of years. This person is really lawless… Sigh.
She sighed and said, “Cultivators who go into demonic cultivation usually become on the verge of collapse, losing control of their consciousness, and unable to understand what is happening in front of them. In this situation, they may unconsciously harm those around them.”
Shen Qiqi’s eyes widened, and she looked up and down at her, saying very unconvincingly, “Wow, really, I’m so scared.”
Shen Qiqi couldn’t imagine Liu Shuang hurting her. Even when Liu Shuang was most out of control, she would just pinch herself and kiss her randomly. So she wasn’t scared at all. It would be fine if the female lead pressed her against the wall and kissed her again.
Shen Qiqi clicked her tongue and thought to herself: Tsk, what a fearless thought! Thinking about it, I’m actually a little excited…
Liu Shuang looked at her and fell into a speechless silence.
The black eagle widened its eyes: Wow, this is what humans call one thing conquering another, I get it!
••••
At the entrance of the Pagoda Cave.
Si Tuyun sat on a chair carried by the demon generals, his legs crossed, cracking sunflower seeds with one hand and propping his chin with the other, looking very relaxed.
Zhao Ke beside him showed an expression of disbelief, “Si Tu… Young Master, what are you doing?”
“Waiting for someone.” Si Tuyun crunched the nut and calmly held out an open hand to him, “Want some?”
Zhao Ke said, “…No need. Don’t we really need to go in and find them?”
Si Tuyun said, “No need.” If they just barged in, Liu Shuang would just find them annoying.
Zhao Ke frowned, “Young Master Si, you’re too trusting of them,”
Si Tuyun glanced at him, and suddenly held up a finger, “Shh, listen.”
Zhao Ke was stunned, “What?”
“Sound.” Si Tuyun said concisely and softly, “They’re coming out.”
As he spoke, a steady patter of footsteps came from the corner, getting closer and closer, and it seemed like there was more than one person.
Zhao Ke’s eyes lit up.
As the footsteps got closer, the strong smell of bl00d became more and more obvious, along with some scattered voices, one slightly higher in pitch, clear as a spring, and the other slightly lower, as cold as ice. It sounded like Shen Qiqi and Liu Shuang’s voices, indistinct.
“…Sister… come on! Almost there… almost there!”
“Hmm…”
Zhao Ke shouted, “Junior Sister, Junior Sister Liu—”
Gradually, two people in red dress came around the corner, supporting each other. He looked closely and couldn’t help but lean back slightly. He saw that the two people were tall and short, the taller one leaning on the shorter one, and their clothes were so stained with bl00d that their original color could no longer be seen. They were covered in a foul smell, and at first glance, they looked like living bl00d people who had walked out of a horror movie set, extremely terrifying.
A black eagle was flapping its wings, its claws tightly hooked on one person’s shoulder. The other person looked over and smiled, “You’re not shy at all, do you like my Senior Sister so much?”
The taller one glanced at the shivering black bird on her shoulder and said nothing.
As the two approached, Ji Zhihua rolled her eyes and gasped, “Damn, that’s scary!”
One of the bl00d-soaked people angrily retorted, “You don’t have the right to say that, you who manipulate corpses!” This voice belonged to Shen Qiqi.
Zhao Ke moved a little further away, and asked softly, “Junior Sister, are you alright?”
Shen Qiqi immediately said, “I’m fine, but Senior Sister is injured!” She had checked briefly earlier, and while Liu Shuang looked fine on the outside, she was actually quite badly injured. She must have been holding on very hard, because she couldn’t even stand when she came down from the pile of corpses, so she had been supporting her all the way here.
Zhao Ke immediately looked at the other bl00d-soaked person and asked with concern, “Junior Sister Liu, how are you? Are your injuries serious?”
Liu Shuang lowered her eyes and shook her head slightly, leaning against Shen Qiqi with a pale face, looking very fragile, making anyone who saw her think her injuries were serious.
Zhao Ke was worried, “This place is not safe to stay for long. We should transfer Junior Sister Liu to a safe place first.”
Shen Qiqi nodded in agreement and was about to take Liu Shuang away when she suddenly heard Si Tuyun say coldly, “Wait, who allowed you to take her away.”
She was startled and shouted, forgetting that there was still the male lead here. How could he easily let the female lead leave him? This was troublesome!
Si Tuyun smiled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, “Leave her here.”
“No.” Shen Qiqi hugged Liu Shuang and took a step back, her eyes wide open, “You say stay, and she stays? Who do you think you are? You didn’t care about her just now, it was all thanks to me going in to get Senior Sister out! Scumbag!” I’m going to break up this couple today!
Si Tuyun: “?” He raised an eyebrow and gradually narrowed his eyes, “What did you call me? A scumbag?”
Shen Qiqi said, “Aren’t you?”
Si Tuyun snorted, and his expression gradually turned cold. As the young master of the Demon Realm, he was naturally arrogant and had never been dared to speak to him like this before. He had not bothered with her before because of Liu Shuang, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have a temper.
The atmosphere became tense, and Shen Qiqi retreated cautiously.
Just then, Liu Shuang suddenly raised her head from Shen Qiqi’s shoulder and looked at him quietly.
Si Tuyun froze, lowered his head, and honestly said, “…Yes, I am a scumbag.”
Thank you all! I’m here QVQ
