Senior sister is on top – chapter 29

In the world of spiritual cultivation, many sects prefer to avoid the distractions of the mundane world, often hiding their sects deep within vast mountain ranges to facilitate secluded cultivation.

The Tianji Sect is no exception, surrounded by lush mountains and rivers, with abundant spiritual veins and rich spiritual energy, making it an ideal location.

The terrain to the west is relatively flat, with rainwater accumulating year-round to form a wide river.

When Tang Muxi arrived here with Bai Ling, it was the rainy season, and the river was swollen and deep, like a giant dragon separating the two sides.

Seeing this, Bai Ling frowned, “Are you sure this is the place? I’ve been to this river at least three times and never saw any trace of your senior sister. Could that old man be tricking you?”

Tang Muxi was equally puzzled.

This place was less than a hundred miles from where they had been resting, and she had even sent a thousand cranes to patrol the area, but no news had come back.

However, thinking of Zhang Xu, she shook her head, “Master wouldn’t deceive us. Since he said it’s here, it must be right. Let’s split up and search to see if we missed anything.”

Bai Ling didn’t trust Zhang Xu much and unhappily flicked its tail, jumping out of Tang Muxi’s arms, “Fine, I’ll look again.”

Though it said this, it didn’t really believe they would find anything.

As a demon, Bai Ling was naturally sensitive to human presence.

Having failed to find Jiang Yin three times, it was almost certain she wasn’t here.

Surely Jiang Yin wouldn’t deliberately hide from it, right?

Bai Ling looked around and started searching from the left side of the river as usual.

Tang Muxi, on the other hand, flew over the river and began searching from the right side.

This area was low-lying, with silt accumulating on both sides of the river, making the soil moist and fertile, and the plants grew vigorously.

Being close to the spiritual veins, the water source was abundant, and many spiritual plants could be found nearby.

Though their grades weren’t high, they were plentiful.

Tang Muxi felt a strong urge but kept reminding herself, “I’m here to find my senior sister,” and forced herself to ignore the temptation, focusing on searching for Jiang Yin.

However, after half a day, when they met by the river again, they still hadn’t found anything.

“I told you, there’s nothing here, but you wouldn’t believe me. Even if she had been here, she would have left long ago,” Bai Ling shook its body, flinging off the water droplets from its fur.

Tang Muxi was now also confused.

Could it be that her senior sister had been here and then left?

But… she felt it shouldn’t be like this.

If her senior sister was no longer here, why would her master specifically tell her “the river to the west”?

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Bai Ling kick a stone, which arced through the air and fell into the river, disappearing into the rushing water.

A bold idea suddenly came to her.

Could it be… the demon lord is under the river?

Thinking carefully, the meaning of “the river to the west” might not be near the river but the river itself.

The more Tang Muxi thought about it, the more it made sense, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Have you searched the river water?”

Bai Ling was surprised and then looked at her strangely, “No, I haven’t… You don’t think your senior sister is under the river, do you?”

Without waiting for an answer, Bai Ling shook its head vigorously, “The river is very deep, and the current is strong. If you’re not careful, you could be swept away. How could anyone hide there?”

Tang Muxi, however, didn’t give up, “Maybe… to avoid being hunted, she had no choice.”

This place was already hard to find, and the demon lord was good at hiding.

If the situation was urgent, to avoid the demon emperor, she might really have dived into the river.

The more Tang Muxi thought about it, the more she convinced herself, deciding to go down and check no matter what.

Bai Ling knew it couldn’t stop her, so it didn’t say more, only reminding her to be careful of the current, then lazily lay down on the ice crystal to rest.

After almost a whole day of running around, it was exhausted.

Tang Muxi helplessly glanced at it, seeing it had already closed its eyes, and didn’t force it to go down with her.

She left a sound-transmitting jade stone and then cast a water-repelling spell, diving into the river.

She had never been to this part of the river, so she only had a rough idea.

She didn’t expect the riverbed to be so deep.

It took quite a while to reach the bottom.

It was dusk, the sunlight gradually dimming, casting a shimmering glow on the water’s surface, while the surroundings grew darker.

The river was wide and deep, and searching with just eyes and limbs would likely be futile by nightfall.

Tang Muxi fumbled around for a while, then stood on the silt and crafted a Thousand Crane for Seeking People.

She infused it with Jiang Yin’s aura, intending to use it to search.

Unexpectedly, just as the crane fluttered its wings, a sudden flash of light swept it away instantly.

Tang Muxi was stunned, disbelieving, and crafted another one, but the result was the same.

The flash of light was incredibly fast, disappearing into the dark water before she could react, leaving only a vague direction.

Unwilling to give up, Tang Muxi crafted another crane.

This time, she tied the crane to herself, determined that the light wouldn’t snatch it away.

However, as soon as she infused it with Jiang Yin’s aura, she was suddenly caught in a whirlwind, bound by a massive suction force, and pulled rapidly into deeper waters.

Not good!

Something’s wrong!

Tang Muxi regretted it instantly and quickly grabbed her Sound Transmission Jade to call for help from Bai Ling.

But just as she opened her mouth, a blunt object struck the back of her head, and she blacked out.

On the riverbank, Bai Ling was resting with her eyes closed when she suddenly saw the jade talisman light up.

She immediately opened her eyes.

However, before any sound could come through, the talisman dimmed and the connection was cut!

Bai Ling panicked, called out to the jade a couple of times with no response, and hurriedly jumped into the water.

*

As her hazy consciousness gradually cleared, Tang Muxi remembered the sudden incident before she fainted and quickly opened her eyes in panic.

She found herself in a spacious cave, with smooth, damp stone walls on either side, adorned with luminous night pearls that emitted a soft, elegant glow.

In front of her was a stone table with some food on it, still steaming, indicating it had been prepared not long ago.

The cave was sealed, but if one listened closely, the sound of flowing water could be heard, low and muffled, suggesting this place was underwater.

Tang Muxi was startled.

She got up from the stone bed, her clothes intact, and there were no restraining formations around.

Apart from a slight bump on the back of her head, there were no other abnormalities.

She quickly cast a spell, and four crystal-clear cranes slowly flew back to her side.

Their wings glowed faintly, ethereal and delicate, just as they were when she crafted them.

Three were smaller, made before she fainted underwater.

One was larger, crafted half a month ago with a lot of spiritual power, capable of searching within a hundred-mile radius.

Seeing them safe and sound, a thought suddenly rose in her mind.

“Senior Sister?”

Tang Muxi stood up hurriedly and called out loudly in the cave, “Is it you, Senior Sister?”

All four cranes were here, and the person who captured her didn’t harm her.

Other than Jiang Yin, she couldn’t think of anyone else.

“Senior Sister…”

She called out again, but was interrupted by something hard hitting her.

Tang Muxi winced in pain and instinctively grabbed the object that hit her forehead, realizing it was a soup ladle.

“Why are you shouting? I’m still here, not dead.”

A familiar figure appeared at the cave’s corner, holding a food box, dressed in flowing red, exuding a fierce aura with every move.

Her attitude was extremely cold, and her words even carried a hint of anger, but Tang Muxi didn’t feel hurt at all.

Instead, she ran to her like a pet finding its owner, joyfully hugging her, rubbing her head against her in relief.

Thank goodness she’s alive, thank goodness… alive.

Only now did Tang Muxi realize how important this demon lord had become in her heart.

Was this feeling just guilt and compensation?

The answer seemed to be more than that.

Jiang Yin didn’t expect her to hug him.

Feeling the warm, soft body, she suddenly stiffened, her facial expression changing several times before finally pushing her away with a cold face.

“Are you a dog? Why are you rubbing against me?”

However, her tone was much softer, as if soaked in water.

Tang Muxi keenly noticed the change in Jiang Yin’s mood, her lips curling up slightly.

Remembering something, she quickly circled around Jiang Yin, examining him while asking worriedly, “Senior Sister, are you hurt? Is it serious?”

Such straightforward concern made Jiang Yin feel uncomfortable again.

she didn’t respond, bypassing her to sit at the stone table.

Opening the food box in her hand, there were two servings of soup and a few simple cold dishes.

The Thousand Cranes were still active.

Sensing Jiang Yin’s presence, they fluttered around her like bees, occasionally flashing and vibrating slightly.

Jiang Yin had been annoyed by these things for some time, waving them away.

“Put these away.”

Tang Muxi responded with an “oh,” raised her hand, and dispersed the four Thousand Cranes, turning them into clear spiritual energy that dissipated in the stone cave.

The place was too dim, so Tang Muxi infused some spiritual power into the Night Pearl, increasing its brightness, then sat beside Jiang Yin.

“Senior Sister, why… why aren’t you responding to me?”

The largest Thousand Crane had been made half a month ago.

This meant that Jiang Yin knew she was looking for her but had never responded, as if deliberately avoiding her.

If it weren’t for the master’s help, who knows when she would have found her senior sister.

She had been searching outside all day, and the big demon hiding underwater must have seen it.

Tang Muxi felt a bit down, even losing her appetite.

Jiang Yin, however, acted as if she hadn’t heard, continuing to eat leisurely.

Tang Muxi felt a pang in her heart, her emotions rising, and asked again, “And why did you suddenly change the plan that day? Why did you take such a risk alone without telling me…”

This time, Jiang Yin didn’t ignore her but sneered, “What difference would it make if I told you? Would you be willing to trade the lives of all the creatures in the Tianji Secret Realm for my safety?”

Contrary to her mocking tone, Jiang Yin’s hand was tightly clenched, seemingly very concerned about the answer.

Unfortunately, she was bound to be disappointed.

Tang Muxi opened her mouth but fell silent.

These days, she had indeed considered it, regretting it every time she thought about it.

But if she were to go back and choose again, she might not be able to make the same decision.

Weighing the value of life… it was a very painful feeling.

As she remained silent, she saw Jiang Yin’s face growing darker, becoming anxious and quickly speaking up, “I can face it with you!”

Even if it meant dying, it didn’t matter.

Jiang Yin sneered again, saying nothing more.

The joy of their reunion was quickly overshadowed by a few words.

Tang Muxi felt frustrated, wondering why she had to bring up such a sensitive topic.

She tried to change the subject to lighten the mood, but after those two sneers, Jiang Yin didn’t speak again, making the meal tasteless.

Outside, the sky had darkened, and the silver moonlight reflected on the water, casting a layer of crystalline silver frost on the river.

However, the moonlight was too shallow to penetrate the riverbed.

Tang Muxi remembered that Bai Ling was still worried and wanted to take her senior sister away from this place.

Before she could speak, she heard Jiang Yin’s cold voice.

“If there’s nothing else, leave quickly.”
