Senior Sister Is Too Weak and Cannot Take Care Of Herself (Transmigration) - Chapter 34

Tang Huan basked in the sun for a while in the courtyard, then got up to cook another meal for Qin Su. Tang Huan didn’t know why, but maybe it was because her pathetic act had successfully earned Qin Su’s sympathy. Or perhaps Qin Su had recognized her talent, or maybe her seclusion had cleared her mind… In any case, after Qin Su came out of seclusion, Tang Huan could feel that their relationship had returned to how it was before: a gentle warmth with a hint of concern, but none of that deliberate distance.

A sense of rediscovered joy welled up in Tang Huan’s heart. This was all she had ever wanted. She had never expected Qin Su to become passionate or proactive. Things were perfect just the way they were. Tang Huan was content. With a beautiful and gentle Senior Sister by her side, two adorable little spirit beasts, and a life with no worries, where she could happily lie on the ground, bask in the sun, read storybooks in her spare time, or cook a meal… This was already a perfect life for Tang Huan.

After lunch, Tang Huan received a message from Liu Fei. Although she really wanted to be lazy and lie under the tree to read her storybook, and not deal with all the worldly entanglements, she had already made a promise to Liu Fei. Plus, with the secret realm being so dangerous and with Qin Su to protect, improving her strength was a top priority. Feeling the heavy burden on her shoulders, she sighed and flew down the mountain on her sword anyway.

“The move Senior Sister used in your match yesterday was truly unexpected.” Liu Fei was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, his eyes incredibly bright as he looked at Tang Huan. “I had an epiphany and was hoping to see you perform that move again.”

Tang Huan nodded and did as he asked. Liu Fei was already incredibly talented. He watched Tang Huan’s move, thought for a moment, and was able to fully replicate it in just a few tries.

“You’re really amazing, Junior Brother!” The cultivation world was full of geniuses, and Liu Fei was clearly a prodigy among sword cultivators. In the past, Tang Huan knew she would have been incredibly envious of his talent, but now as the pioneer who had developed the move in her dream, Tang Huan’s mindset was completely at peace. She gave him genuine praise after he finished his practice and even reminded him, “Junior Brother, if your opponent’s dao heart is determined and they don’t dodge, this move will only harm you. It’s best to use it sparingly.”

Liu Fei nodded. He thought for a moment, then practiced the move again. This time, he didn’t stop after the move. Instead, he continued the momentum, creating a flurry of sword flowers as white as snow. That’s a new move. Tang Huan didn’t expect Liu Fei to already be developing his own moves.

But it was clear that Liu Fei had just started trying. The move was different, but it also had a major flaw. While it protected him from the front, it left a huge opening on his side. If someone caught that opening and attacked him from the side, they could easily kill him. However, a sword cultivator’s speed was always very fast, and the opening he created was fleeting, so it wouldn’t be a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Tang Huan naturally wouldn’t pour cold water on his first attempt at creating his own move. She gave Liu Fei a lot of praise, but in her heart, she also felt a sense of urgency. Liu Fei just started, and he already created such an amazing move. I have to work even harder.

With this thought, Tang Huan completely cast aside her laziness and focused intently on sparring with Liu Fei. Time flew by when she was concentrating on one thing. It was already evening. That night, the top three disciples in this generation would be chosen, and since Tang Huan and Liu Fei were both focused on self-improvement, they naturally planned to go watch the matches. Tang Huan saw that the sun had already set in the west and was the first to call for a stop. After all, she had to go back and make dinner for Senior Sister.

There weren’t many vegetables left on Baiwu Peak, so Tang Huan planned to get a batch from her own cave. There was a magical artifact in her cave that kept fruits and vegetables from rotting, and Wang Mengyao usually kept the food she brought back for her in there.

When she got back to her cave, Tang Huan, as usual, fed the little squirrels. The squirrels were very happy to see her and scrambled to get to her. Their chattering voices filled Tang Huan’s mind.

“Did Tang Huan get close to Liu Fei? She has such a good scent on her…”

“She seems to have gotten prettier. Did Qin Su give her some medicine to improve her health?”

“Probably. I heard she already broke through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm! Qin Su must have put in a lot of effort. She’s a genius apothecary, after all…”

“Hahaha, Ren Jingmu must be so mad! His ex-girlfriend is with his beloved Senior Sister…”

The little squirrels, as always, paired Tang Huan and Qin Su up. Tang Huan had grown numb to the squirrels’ misunderstanding of her relationship with Qin Su, but today, listening to their chatter, she couldn’t help but feel a little amused. In the little squirrels’ eyes, it seemed like she was a sugar baby.

Tang Huan didn’t think she was a sugar baby. She frowned and thought about it. While the spiritual energy on Baiwu Peak had definitely helped her a lot, and she had gotten used to acting cute and clingy around Senior Sister, which was a little undignified… but that was only to make Senior Sister happy! A person with big ambitions like her doesn’t let small details bother her! Besides, Senior Sister was too naive. Tang Huan was working so hard to protect her innocence and had even forced herself to become a genius. She was the one who was enduring the most.

But Tang Huan didn’t expect the little squirrels to understand her. She sighed softly and began to pick out the fruits and vegetables for dinner. After all, she was a genius! When the heavens want to give a person a great responsibility, they will first give them a lonely life. She was the one who was protecting Qin Su, and time would prove everything.

The little squirrels had moved on from their excitement of seeing Tang Huan and were now gossiping about other things.

Tang Huan only just realized that a lot had happened in the two days since she had gone into seclusion to have her breakthrough. For example, Bai Feng had taken a disguise elixir and had snuck into the Tianxuan Sect to watch her beloved’s final match. She was now staying in a cave not far from Ren Jingmu. And Tang Huan’s adoptive mother, Elder Tang, had overcome a blockage in her cultivation and would likely come out of seclusion early. And finally, a plague had broken out in Fu City in the southwest, and the sect master had sent a lot of the disciples from Baiwu Peak to the city with the medicine Qin Su had developed.

Tang Huan finally understood why Qin Su had seemed so happy that morning. She must have developed the medicine to cure the plague. This was another reason why Tang Huan liked Qin Su. Most cultivators in this world saw themselves as superior to mortals, but Tang Huan realized Qin Su was different. She cared for everyone equally, whether they were cultivators or mortals. In her heart, there was no difference.

Tang Huan even had a feeling that if the real Qin Su was as powerful as the Qin Su in her dreams, she would be perfect to rule the three realms. With her personality, Qin Su would definitely work tirelessly and selflessly to protect the entire three realms. But that kind of Qin Su would be too tired. People would get used to looking up to her, and the safety of the three realms would rest on her shoulders. She was also a person who couldn’t slack off or have fun. It was lonely at the top, and the Qin Su from her dreams might be what the real Qin Su would become: a fierce and irritable person.

The way Qin Su was now was perfect. She could use her skills to gain the respect of the disciples and live a peaceful life in her little corner of the world. The thought of the fierce red-robed Qin Su emotionlessly killing the white-robed Qin Su in her dreams made Tang Huan shiver. For some reason, her heart went out to her, and she felt an even stronger desire to protect Qin Su’s innocence and beauty.

She sped up her selection of fruits and vegetables, wanting to get back to Baiwu Peak as soon as possible to make dinner for Senior Sister. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped. Tang Huan had heard another piece of gossip: just that morning, Shi Yingying had overcome her inner demon and made a breakthrough in her cultivation. Bai Feng had heard about it and was feeling anxious, afraid that Ren Jingmu would lose the match. To help him win, Bai Feng had used her old tricks again and was trying to drug Shi Yingying.

Because of what happened to Wang Mengyao, Tang Huan didn’t have a good opinion of Shi Yingying. In her heart, neither Ren Jingmu nor Shi Yingying were good people. Tang Huan was happy to watch them fight each other. But Tang Huan couldn’t stand Bai Feng’s vicious and reckless methods. After much thought, as Tang Huan flew back to Baiwu Peak, she changed her direction. She coldly sent a voice message to Shi Yingying’s door that said, “Someone is trying to harm you.”

She could only do this much. Whether Shi Yingying believed her or not was her problem. After she had done this, Tang Huan flew back to Baiwu Peak on her sword.

******

At the dinner table, Tang Huan, as usual, chattered away. Qin Su would occasionally smile and agree with her. Qin Su might not seem to have a lot of spiritual energy, but she was very knowledgeable. She even had her own unique insights into sword techniques. Tang Huan was more than happy to share her experiences with her. As she talked, she didn’t even notice how many times she mentioned Liu Fei’s name and everything she said about him was filled with praise.

“Senior Sister, Liu Fei is really amazing! He can already create his own sword moves. He’s only been in the sect for a few years, but his insights are truly extraordinary! I used to think he was a cold person, but now I know I was wrong. Liu Fei is just not good at dealing with people, but his sword heart is incredibly pure. He will definitely become a powerful master in the future…”

“Is that so? I’ve been in seclusion for a long time, so I didn’t know that such a brilliant person had appeared in the sect,” a smile played on Qin Su’s lips, but her eyes held no warmth. She asked casually, “Do you really enjoy practicing with Junior Brother Liu Fei?”

“I’ve never heard you praise anyone so much before, Junior Sister. Is Junior Brother Liu Fei more outstanding than anyone you’ve met, so you praise him so much?”

Tang Huan didn’t expect Qin Su to be so curious. She frowned and thought about it. At first, she instinctively wanted to deny it. She thought of the red-robed Qin Su. Although the red-robed Qin Su was a little brutal, practicing with her was definitely very beneficial. But she stopped before she could say “no.” The red-robed Qin Su was just a manifestation of her subconscious, not a real person. And if Qin Su asked more questions, she wouldn’t be able to explain the red-robed Qin Su.

So Tang Huan thought about it again and nodded. “I don’t know many people, but among all the people I’ve sparred with, sparring with Liu Fei is definitely the most enjoyable…”

“I see,” Qin Su said softly. She looked no different, but she didn’t say a word for the rest of dinner. Tang Huan noticed Qin Su’s odd behavior. She thought it was because Qin Su was exhausted from working on the medicine for the plague in Fu City. So Tang Huan considerately stopped chattering away. She quickly finished her food and put down her bowl.

“Senior Sister, you should rest after you eat! Liu Fei and I are going to watch the matches tonight, so I might come back a little late. Why don’t you put up a sound barrier at the entrance? I’m afraid I’ll disturb you when I come back…” In Tang Huan’s mind, Qin Su never liked to join in on these kinds of lively events, and she looked so tired. Tang Huan didn’t plan on asking Qin Su to go with her. She just wanted her to rest.

But for some reason, Qin Su gave Tang Huan a long, deep look and slowly put down her bowl. “The sect is rarely this lively. I’d also like to see it. Would you be so kind as to give me a ride, Junior Sister?”

Tang Huan’s eyes went wide.
