Chapter 70: I Am Your Senior Sister!

Yizhou, Among the Colorful Clouds.

With a cute sniffle, Huang Doudou woke up groggily from her sleep.

She let out a big yawn, stretched lazily, got dressed, jumped out of bed, and headed toward the Confinement Room.

Checking on Su Cheng’s condition every day was a task Yu Yi had left for her.

Pushing open the door of the Confinement Room, Huang Doudou lit the torches on the surrounding walls and shouted inside,

“Sixth Junior Sister, good morning!”

There was no response from within.

“Huh? Could she still be sleeping?”

Huang Doudou found it strange.

By this time, Su Cheng should have already woken up.

Huang Doudou walked to the single room where Su Cheng was held, and upon seeing Su Cheng’s appearance, her little mouth fell open.

Su Cheng’s leg had completely changed color.

She was drenched in sweat, and it seemed she couldn’t even speak except to grit her teeth and endure the pain.

“Th-this, how could it be like this! Why did it suddenly get worse?”

Huang Doudou hurried forward, preparing to unlock the stone shackle binding Su Cheng and take her out of the Confinement Room to use some temporary methods to delay the worsening of her leg.

However, Su Cheng squeezed out a few words from her mouth.

“I…won’t go.”

Huang Doudou’s hand, reaching for the stone shackle, stopped.

This little fool finally realized that it was the stone shackle binding Su Cheng.

Any mechanism related to stone couldn’t restrain Su Cheng.

If she wanted to leave, she could have left long ago.

Su Cheng would rather endure pain here than leave, most likely because she was following Yu Yi’s order.

“Stay here and wait for me to come back.”

For this, Su Cheng could even disregard her own leg.

Such a way of showing loyalty to Yu Yi was a bit extreme, but if it was Su Cheng, it wasn’t strange at all.

After all, she had already “betrayed” Yu Yi once.

To return and stay by Yu Yi’s side, she was willing to pay any price.

“But in your current state…”

“Don’t worry…I won’t die.”

Even in immense pain, nothing could stop the confident smile at the corner of Su Cheng’s lips.

“I just need a little water…that’s enough.”

Su Cheng continued.

“Alright, wait for me!”

Huang Doudou quickly nodded, rushed out of the Confinement Room, grabbed a water bucket, and hurried down the mountain.

Huang Doudou ran like lightning, darting swiftly through the forest.

She soon reached the mountain spring, ready to fetch water.

But at that moment, her ears twitched.

She seemed to hear footsteps nearby.

Huang Doudou quickly started working her little brain.

“Uh…First, it’s not Master or Second Senior Sister. They left on a flying chariot and should return the same way.”

“Second, rule out everyone from the city. They just delivered food recently, and we haven’t finished it yet, so they wouldn’t come again so soon.”

“Finally, exclude Sister Wei Ying. She just moved into her new house, but after her family heard that a ‘Demoness’ lived on the mountain, they were so scared they moved out of Mingyue City…”

After eliminating several possibilities, Huang Doudou confirmed the only one left.

A thief had broken into the house!

“Hmph! What kind of stray cats and dogs dare to steal from Among the Colorful Clouds? Such boldness!”

Without hesitation, Huang Doudou dashed out from the forest, blocked the path, and shouted at the “thieves,”

“Stop right there!”

The other party didn’t expect someone to suddenly jump out halfway, and instantly became alert, assuming battle stances.

In an instant, hundreds of gleaming blades pointed at Huang Doudou.

“Eh?”

Huang Doudou was stunned on the spot.

These people were no thieves.

They were cultivators from different factions, and from the aura they exuded, not a single one was weak—all were top-tier experts!

“Fifth Mistress, long time no see.”

A thin figure stepped out from the crowd, wearing a fake smile as he greeted Huang Doudou.

Huang Doudou glanced at him, unable to recall who he was.

Looking again, she noticed one of his arms was fake, and suddenly remembered.

“Oh! So it’s you, the bastard whose arm was ripped off by my Sixth Junior Sister!”

Huang Doudou said in the most innocent voice, yet with the most lethal words.

Jiang Hanshan trembled at her words.

Though he still wore a fake smile, his half-closed eyes opened, filled with killing intent as he looked at Huang Doudou.

Huang Doudou immediately sensed danger.

Without hesitation, she turned and ran.

The crowd was about to give chase, but Jiang Hanshan stopped them.

“The Demoness’s Fifth Disciple is extremely agile. If she wants to escape, none of us can catch her. Don’t forget, our target is Su Cheng.”

Jiang Hanshan’s spies had reported that the Demoness had left Among the Colorful Clouds three days ago with her second disciple, Blue Ling’er, heading to Yunzhou.

He soon realized the Demoness planned to take revenge on Lidaitian when the Recruitment Assembly began.

Since the Demoness and Blue Ling’er weren’t in Among the Colorful Clouds, their targets were only Huang Doudou and Su Cheng.

Huang Doudou’s cultivation hadn’t reached the Martial Emperor Realm and wasn’t worth worrying about.

Su Cheng was alone and powerless.

With the timing, location, and unity on their side, today was the day to capture Su Cheng!

The “Jin Na Dui” of hundreds spread out in Among the Colorful Clouds, searching for Su Cheng.

Like bandits, they destroyed everything in their path.

Newly grown flowers, trees, and even pavilions and houses were trampled and burned.

Before long, smoke billowed everywhere, and chaos reigned.

Huang Doudou, panting, rushed into the Confinement Room.

“Sorry, Sixth Junior Sister, I couldn’t bring you water!”

Huang Doudou apologized to Su Cheng, then moved to remove the stone shackle binding her.

“…What’s happening outside?”

Despite her pain, Su Cheng’s mind was clear and alert.

“The bastard whose arm you crippled before came back with people! There are too many of them, and they’re all strong. I…I can’t beat them.”

Huang Doudou answered dejectedly.

“Mm…he came for me. That man is always cautious. He must know Master isn’t here and is confident he can take me down. Otherwise…he wouldn’t have come.”

Su Cheng’s face was heavy as she shook her head.

“Doudou, you don’t have to worry about me. In my current state…even if I wanted to leave, I probably couldn’t.”

“No way! If you don’t go, I won’t go either!”

Huang Doudou became anxious.

“Even if you can’t walk, your brain is still brighter than mine. Think of something quickly!”

“Think of something? You mean…a way to fight them?”

Su Cheng smiled.

“You just said it yourself, we’re no match for them—”

Before Su Cheng could finish, Huang Doudou interrupted her.

“Even if we can’t beat them, I still have to fight!”

The youngest member of the sect looked seriously at Su Cheng, who was several years older.

“I’m your Senior Sister! Protecting you is my responsibility!”

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh.

“Now is not the time to laugh! And don’t underestimate me!”

Huang Doudou quickly warned.

“Alright, alright.”

Su Cheng’s eyes glinted with a faint smile as she spoke softly.

“Then…I’ll leave it to you, Fifth Senior Sister.”
