Chen Xiaoyan looked completely bewildered. Had she just missed something?
Shen Qingqing said she was giving her equipment?
No way—could the equipment from an NPC powerhouse be ordinary stuff?
She immediately snapped back to reality, glancing toward the fading rainbow light in the distance. Raising her hand, she made the exclusive gesture of Erkang.
No!!!
Don’t go, Sister Shen.
I need it. I really, really need it!!!
Chen Xiaoyan felt a sharp pang in her heart.
It seemed she had made Shen Qingqing angry and hadn’t even gotten a chance to speak.
This was it.
It was all over.
She had lost big time—not only did she fail to pick up the tiny sesame seeds, but she had also let the watermelon fall.
I’m such a big! Idiot!
What should she do now?
After much thought, she finally decided to go apologize.
No time to waste, she set off immediately.
“Xiaoyan Jie, has Shen Qingqing left?”
Chongchong came over only after seeing Shen Qingqing walk away.
With this NPC around, she felt as if she was being watched everywhere, making her uneasy in every way.
Chen Xiaoyan temporarily closed the map and solemnly lectured, “Chongchong, Sister Shen is the Sect Leader of our Tianxiang Sect. You can’t say her name directly—it’s disrespectful and improper.”
After speaking, she clicked to teleport directly back to the sect.
Chongchong stared blankly as Chen Xiaoyan disappeared before her eyes, her small face full of confusion.
Tianxin Pavilion
Chen Xiaoyan returned to Tianxin Mountain and rushed straight to Tianxin Pavilion without pause.
Nervous and unsettled, she hesitated at the door of the pavilion, too afraid to go inside.
She looked exactly like a guilty husband afraid to enter his own home.
Several NPC disciples passed by one after another, casting respectful glances at her, making Chen Xiaoyan’s face burn red.
“Junior Sister, long time no see. What brings you here?”
A woman carrying a flower basket, graceful and elegant beyond this world, walked toward her slowly.
“Senior Sister?”
Chen Xiaoyan felt this NPC looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
“It’s only been a little over a month, and Junior Sister has already reached the Transcendent Realm. I never expected the little Junior Sister who sought my help back then would turn out to be such a prodigy.”
The woman smiled sweetly—not a dazzling beauty of the mortal world, but surprisingly charming.
Sought help from an NPC?
Suddenly, Chen Xiaoyan recalled the first day playing in the Immortal Realm.
Without a weapon, she went to the back mountain to do a quest, feeling embarrassed and uneasy.
At the library, she had casually asked an NPC senior sister for help.
Although, in the end, all she got was a useless Spring Breeze Umbrella…
“Oh, so it was Senior Sister! Thank you for lending me the Spring Breeze Umbrella back then, or I might not have finished the quest.”
“Junior Sister, the Spring Breeze Umbrella can now be returned to its original owner,” Chen Xiaoyan said, taking the umbrella out of her backpack and handing it over with both hands.
After reaching level five, the system automatically grants a second Spring Breeze Umbrella, so there were two in her inventory.
The woman took the umbrella and placed it carefully into her mustard seed pouch.
“This Spring Breeze Umbrella was originally discarded. I’m happy it could be of help to you.”
“By the way, Junior Sister, why were you lingering outside Tianxin Pavilion?”
Chen Xiaoyan frowned and gave a bitter smile. She explained, “Junior Sister made a mistake and wanted to apologize to Sister Shen, but didn’t dare to go in.”
“I see. Junior Sister need not worry. Sect Leader Shen has always been understanding and treats her disciples well. She is famous in the Immortal Realm Alliance for her gentleness and care. As long as Junior Sister sincerely admits her fault, she won’t be punished harshly.”
“Thank you for your kind words, Senior Sister,” Chen Xiaoyan smiled slightly.
She could tell this NPC had no idea what Shen Qingqing was truly like.
Beneath that gentle and considerate mask, if she really got angry, no one would be more terrifying.
“Alright, I’ll be off then. I still have things to do.”
The woman lifted her flower basket and waved it in front of Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes.
“Safe travels, Senior Sister.”
Chen Xiaoyan watched the figure leave like the wind, a smile creeping onto her lips.
The Tianxiang Sect was great—all around were beautiful senior sisters.
Should she try to flirt with one?
After all, it’s just a game, not real life, so no worries.
“Pretty, huh?”
A familiar voice sounded in her ear.
Chen Xiaoyan instinctively nodded and replied casually, “Pretty.”
As soon as she said it, her expression changed sharply as she turned to look at Shen Qingqing standing beside her.
Shen Qingqing was smiling sweetly at her.
Though she was smiling, Chen Xiaoyan felt it was more terrifying than hellfire, sending chills down her spine.
Swallowing nervously, Chen Xiaoyan forced a smile, “S-Sister Shen, you’re here.”
“Xiaoyan~”
“Disciple is here.”
“Sister has a cultivation method that can greatly increase one’s spiritual power, but the prerequisite is to destroy one’s own eyes to prove one’s true heart.”
“Uh…”
Chen Xiaoyan forced a grim smile.
“Sister Shen, such a method goes against humanity. Disciple thinks it’s better to destroy it.”
“It’s just destroying your own eyes, what humanity is violated? Besides, you only need to gouge out your eyeballs to raise your realm and greatly increase your spiritual power. How many cultivators dream of this?”
“Come, Sister will help you.”
Saying this, Shen Qingqing reached out her hand slowly toward her.
Chen Xiaoyan instantly felt a chill down her back.
This delicate jade hand looked like a demon’s ghostly claw in her eyes—terrifying.
She quickly stepped back and knelt down.
“Sister Shen, disciple was wrong.”
“Wrong where?”
“Disciple shouldn’t have had feelings for Senior Sisters.”
“Oh? You have feelings for your own Senior Sister?”
Shen Qingqing’s tone was as cold as ice.
Chen Xiaoyan froze, completely confused.
What was going on?
Was Shen Qingqing not talking about this matter?
Damn it, she had just exposed herself.
Seeing Shen Qingqing’s gloomy expression, Chen Xiaoyan’s heart screamed that she was doomed.
“No, no, Sister Shen, I was joking.”
“Ah~”
Suddenly, a scream echoed around Tianxin Pavilion.
Chen Xiaoyan’s ear was grabbed by Shen Qingqing, who dragged her into the backyard.
“Ouch, ouch, Sister Shen, please go easy.”
“Kneel down.” Shen Qingqing’s voice was stern.
Chen Xiaoyan had no temper and obediently knelt on the backyard floor.
“Though I’m not your parent, as your disciple, I have the right to guide you back to the right path.”
“Tell me, why do you have feelings for Senior Sisters?”
Shen Qingqing’s fierce gaze weighed heavily on Chen Xiaoyan’s shoulders, making it hard to breathe.
She wanted to tell the truth, but so what?
No one would believe her anyway.
“Disciple does not.”
“Still lying? I heard it with my own ears. Could it be false?”
Shen Qingqing waved her sleeve coldly, frowning.
“Xiaoyan, if you don’t confess honestly, I’ll have to punish you personally.”
“Disciple…”
“Speak!”
A powerful pressure immediately pressed down on Chen Xiaoyan’s shoulders.
“Disciple likes girls, so I have feelings for Senior Sisters.”
After saying this, Chen Xiaoyan closed her eyes and quietly awaited the punishment from this powerhouse.
After all, the Immortal Realm was not like reality; NPCs here did not accept homosexuality.
They even despised it utterly.
“Don’t speak of this again. Bury it deep in your heart.”
Shen Qingqing’s tone suddenly softened considerably.
The pressure on Chen Xiaoyan’s shoulders vanished accordingly.
“Sister Shen, you’re not going to punish me?”
She looked up at Shen Qingqing in surprise.
Shen Qingqing didn’t answer, turning her back to Chen Xiaoyan, lost in thought.
After a long while, she hummed, “You really want to be punished?”
“No, no, no, disciple was just curious. After all, disciple…”
Before Chen Xiaoyan could finish, Shen Qingqing cut her off immediately.
“I said, don’t mention this again, and don’t ever say it in the future. For the sake of Tianxiang Sect’s reputation.”
