Senior Sister Is Too Weak and Cannot Take Care Of Herself (Transmigration) - Chapter 22

Tang Huan didn’t know what kind of spirit beast this rabbit-like creature was, but she hadn’t heard its thoughts when it ran past. Its rank must be pretty high, at least higher than the little Irrigation Mice.

But Tang Huan also had a hunch that its intelligence was a bit low, because even a low-level creature like an Irrigation Mouse wouldn’t be so foolish as to run head-first into someone’s leg.

This was perfect. Such a foolish and frail little spirit beast wouldn’t cause any conflict with the Thunder Beast once she adopted it.

With that thought, Tang Huan tugged on Wang Mengyao’s arm. Wang Mengyao understood that Tang Huan didn’t want to interact with Ren Jingmu and ran over to pick up the little spirit beast.

“Ah Huan, it’s so beautiful!”

Wang Mengyao handed the little spirit beast to Tang Huan, stroking its long ears. The beast’s fur was incredibly soft, and it didn’t have the usual musky smell of a rabbit. Instead, it carried a faint floral scent and was so soft and squishy that it was very endearing.

Ren Jingmu pulled his gaze away from Liu Fei and looked at Tang Huan again, feeling an extra layer of bad luck. The two people he disliked the most were standing right there. He couldn’t help but let out a cold snort and flew away on his sword without looking back.

“Senior Sister.”

Liu Fei clearly recognized Wang Mengyao and greeted her. His face was handsome but expressionless, and his eyes were cold.

“I know, I know,” Wang Mengyao waved her hand before he could continue, her other hand gripping Tang Huan’s sleeve and pulling it discreetly. “My dad hasn’t come out of seclusion yet. I’ll let you know when he does.”

Tang Huan immediately understood. Wang Mengyao’s father, who was likely munching on a pork knuckle in his cave dwelling, was also a sword cultivator who entered the Dao through the sword, probably the next person Liu Fei would “seek advice” from.

“Thank you, Senior Sister.”

Liu Fei bowed to Wang Mengyao, ended the pleasantries, and flew away on his sword in the direction Ren Jingmu had gone.

Wang Mengyao visibly relaxed and leaned in to whisper to Tang Huan, “I’m doing this for Junior Brother Liu! My dad’s sword moves are powerful and aggressive. With his current strength, Junior Brother Liu can’t last three moves against him. My dad made him throw up bl00d twice already…”

“Junior Brother Liu is just so devoted to the Dao that he doesn’t understand worldly matters,” Wang Mengyao sighed. “My dad actually likes him a lot. He’ll probably be very happy to take him as a disciple in a few years.”

Tang Huan nodded and went along with Wang Mengyao’s words. “Junior Brother Liu has a firm heart for the Dao and clearly has great talent.”

Tang Huan didn’t know why, but she felt like she had heard Liu Fei’s name somewhere before. But when she thought about it carefully, Liu Fei didn’t seem to be a character in the original novel.

She figured Liu Fei was just an unimportant minor character in the story, which meant the plot wouldn’t have a big impact on him. Although Liu Fei seemed to lack social skills, as long as he could make Ren Jingmu uncomfortable, Tang Huan had no ill feelings toward him.

After saying goodbye to Wang Mengyao, Tang Huan went back to Baiwu Peak (White Mist Peak), holding the unconscious spirit beast.

For some reason, as soon as she got close to her cave dwelling, the unconscious spirit beast woke up. A clear look of fear appeared in its ruby-red eyes, and it kicked its small legs, trying to escape from Tang Huan’s arms. The Black Bird, which had been listless for days, suddenly straightened up, its small, beady eyes filled with malevolence as it stared at the little spirit beast in Tang Huan’s arms.

The little spirit beast struggled more and more violently. For a moment, Tang Huan couldn’t even hold on to it. Just then, with a creak, the main door of the cave dwelling opened. By the time Tang Huan reacted, Qin Su was already standing in front of her.

Qin Su’s red lips were pursed, her back was straight, and her jaw was set in a firm line. Her gaze was like a cold sword, aimed directly at Tang Huan.

In that moment, Qin Su had shed her frail and delicate aura, making her seem almost unapproachable.

The little spirit beast in Tang Huan’s arms trembled violently, its face filled with terror, as if it might faint at any moment.

Being looked at by Qin Su like that, Tang Huan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, even under the warm sun. A thousand pounds of pressure seemed to press down on her head, and her legs couldn’t help but tremble, instinctively buckling.

“Junior Sister,” the thousand pounds of pressure instantly vanished, and a pair of hands steadily held Tang Huan up.

Tang Huan looked up into Qin Su’s concerned eyes. “Are you alright?”

Qin Su’s expression now looked no different from usual, as if the cold, serious look from before was just Tang Huan’s imagination.

“S-Senior Sister,” Tang Huan swallowed, taking a step back. A hint of fear crept into her eyes as she looked at Qin Su, and she asked with a shaky voice, “W-why did you come out?”

Qin Su’s long eyelashes fluttered. She seemed to not notice Tang Huan’s avoidance, maintaining her gentle and delicate appearance. “I was worried that the spirit beast might run wild and cause trouble, so I set up an illusion array outside the cave dwelling. I didn’t expect you to return at this time…”

Oh, so it was because she had bumped into the illusion array! That’s why she had that hallucination.

It made sense. How could someone as frail as Qin Su have a terrifying pressure that exceeded that of a Nascent Soul cultivator?

“I’m fine now,” Tang Huan said with a sigh of relief, standing up straight while holding the spirit beast. “I found the spirit pet I wanted. I was so focused on bringing it to you that I didn’t notice you had set up an array…”

Saying this, Tang Huan held the spirit beast up to Qin Su, asking like she was waiting for a compliment. “Senior Sister, this is my spirit pet rabbit.”

Someone as kind as Senior Sister would surely like this frail and cute spirit beast.

However, perhaps because the spirit beast was timid and still caught in the illusion array’s effects, it clung tightly to Tang Huan’s sleeve, trembling like a sieve, its eyes squeezed shut. It stubbornly refused to be handed over to Qin Su.

“This little beast has a unique look, and it seems… frail,” Qin Su lowered her gaze slightly. Her jade-like finger gently tapped the top of the spirit beast’s head, and a trace of spiritual energy silently entered the beast’s mind.

The spirit beast’s trembling instantly stopped, and the eerie red glow in its eyes gradually faded.

“I’m glad you like it, Senior Sister.” Tang Huan didn’t notice the spirit beast’s strange behavior. She was relieved, thinking she had finally gotten through this. Her lips curved into a smile. “We can raise them together from now on.”

Tang Huan moved closer to Qin Su, carrying the rabbit, and entered the dwelling with her.

She first went to the nearby room for the small beasts, placing the rabbit next to the little Thunder Beast. The Thunder Beast, which had been lazily sunbathing, suddenly arched its back as if it had been stung, warily eyeing the rabbit and letting out a series of low growls from its throat.

“Little Lei, don’t bully the rabbit!” Tang Huan stroked the Thunder Beast’s head, made the two spirit beasts touch paws as a handshake, and stayed for a while. Seeing that the two little pets, despite their tense standoff, didn’t fight, Tang Huan felt relieved and returned to the main house to continue cultivating.

She didn’t know that as soon as she closed the door, the Thunder Beast bared its teeth and pounced on the rabbit. But before it could reach the rabbit, an invisible wall seemed to suddenly appear in the air, and a row of sharp teeth dropped down from nowhere. The Thunder Beast had to scramble around to avoid the attack.

The rabbit sat nestled to the side, lazily watching the Thunder Beast trapped in the illusion array. Where was the slightest hint of its previous timid, cowardly demeanor?

As a rare Nightmare Beast from the demonic realm, the rabbit was born with the ability to create illusion arrays and hide its demonic energy. Moreover, its intelligence was higher than that of ordinary spirit beasts, and even with its insufficient spiritual power, it was one of the most dangerous and cunning creatures in the demonic realm.

After its ancestors were fortunately captured by cultivators and managed to escape into the mountains, they had lived there for generations, carefully concealing their demonic energy. Over the years, their demonic energy had grown weaker with each generation due to the spiritual nourishment.

The rabbit was the one with the weakest demonic energy and the strongest talent in the history of the Nightmare Beasts.

Its ancestors had taught it never to be noticed by cultivators. However, the male cultivator named Liu Fei had an aura it loved, and the rabbit couldn’t help but reveal itself. It hid its demonic energy, planning to stage a trick to get Liu Fei to adopt it. But to its surprise, Liu Fei was unmoved, and then Tang Huan appeared out of nowhere.

The rabbit had originally planned to find an opportunity to escape from Tang Huan, but it never expected her to bring it to White Mist Peak.

As soon as it got close to White Mist Peak, the rabbit sensed an incredibly terrifying aura that made it feel like it couldn’t breathe. And that terrifying, powerful woman named Qin Su saw through its identity with one look. With a simple motion, she sealed the demonic energy within it and even placed a restriction on its body. From now on, if it ever had a second thought about Tang Huan, it would be instantly killed.

Who was this woman with such terrifying power?
