Sheng Sheng forced down the fear in her heart.
Since she could be reborn and return, she must be able to change that damned future!
But even as she thought this, Guan Shengsheng, with her tear-incontinence constitution, couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Why is Little Junior Sister crying again? Be good, don’t cry. Once Uncle-Master finishes refining the medicine and expels the remaining Demonic Qi from your body, you’ll be able to speak.”
For this little junior sister who shared his surname, Guan Yuanbai doted on her even more than his own younger sister. The moment he saw her tears, he couldn’t help but comfort her.
Sheng Sheng cried while writing on paper: “I’m fine, I just miss Master.”
After she grew up, she never cried again.
Who would have thought that after returning to the past, she couldn’t stop crying.
【So embarrassing! I haven’t cried once since I became an adult!】
Jiang Qingjiu’s gaze darkened slightly.
This little junior sister who loved to cry so much never cried again after becoming an adult?
“Sheng Sheng misses Master?”
Jiang Qingjiu gently wiped Sheng Sheng’s tears.
“Later, Second Senior Sister will send a message to Master and ask when he’ll return, okay?”
She appeared cold and aloof, but when it came to her little junior sister, she was very gentle.
Sheng Sheng had been brought back and raised by Master himself since she was a child, and she had always been clingy.
She wasn’t even afraid of Master, who had an even colder personality.
Mhm, mhm.
Sheng Sheng kept nodding, lifting her little face to let Second Senior Sister wipe her tears.
At such close proximity, Second Senior Sister practically glowed with fairness, her entire being stunningly beautiful.
【Wuwu, Second Senior Sister is so beautiful, so gentle, I really like her!】
Sheng Sheng shed tears while being captivated by Second Senior Sister’s beauty.
Jiang Qingjiu’s brows lifted slightly.
It seemed Sheng Sheng’s mindset was quite good. That was fine.
【How could anyone bear to hurt such a beautiful Second Senior Sister!】
【Since I’ve returned, I absolutely won’t let those so-called relatives bully Second Senior Sister, let alone cripple her Cultivation Base and abandon her corpse in the wilderness, where wild dogs gnawed her until not even bones remained.】
【Before her death, she couldn’t even fulfill her wish to return to the sect…】
Jiang Qingjiu couldn’t help but tremble, her eyes filled with shock: Wha… what?
Her fate in her previous life was actually so tragic?!
【But how should I warn Second Senior Sister?】
Sheng Sheng recalled the memories of her past life.
【In my past life, it seems it was during this time when I was unconscious that Second Senior Sister’s fiancé came back to find her, agreeing to explore a Secret Realm together.】
In this life, perhaps because she was reborn, Sheng Sheng woke up earlier.
【But who would have thought that in the Secret Realm, that scumbag, for the sake of Jiang Qingyu, pushed Second Senior Sister into a pack of Demonic Beasts, causing her to be severely injured and fall unconscious, only to be taken back to the Jiang family by them.】
【And even though it was Jiang Qingyu who sneaked into the Secret Realm without permission and stole the Demonic Beast eggs, causing the Demonic Beast pack to go berserk, the Jiang family blamed Second Senior Sister for it.】
【And to treat Jiang Qingyu, they forcibly dug out Senior Sister’s Golden Core, causing Second Senior Sister to lose all her Cultivation Base!】
Sheng Sheng grew anxious, unsure how to tell Second Senior Sister the truth.
To make her stay away from that scumbag fiancé and her twin sister, Jiang Qingyu.
But Jiang Qingjiu heard everything in her heart.
Perhaps because the barrage of her little junior sister’s inner thoughts had brought too many shocks, she remained extremely calm instead.
“Second Senior Sister knows Little Junior Sister really wants to speak, but don’t rush. Rest well first. Only then will you recover faster.”
Second Senior Sister’s clear, cold voice was pure and unhurried, like clear water flowing into the heart, washing away worries.
【Mhm, mhm, Sheng Sheng will rest well and recover as soon as possible!】
Sheng Sheng obediently lay on the bed, gazing eagerly at her second senior sister.
【Only this way can I protect Second Senior Sister and everyone else.】
A flicker of tenderness passed through Jiang Qingjiu's eyes. "Little junior sister is so well-behaved."
Since she already knew everything, how could she possibly let Sheng Sheng protect her?
Yet, Jiang Qingjiu's heart still felt a surge of warmth.
With a sister like this, what more could she ask for?
"Fifth junior brother, please stay with Sheng Sheng for a while. I'm going to find the eldest senior brother to contact our master."
"Alright, alright, Second Senior Sister, don't worry. I'll take good care of little junior sister."
Guan Yuanbai leaned over the bedside, staring anxiously at the little junior sister on the bed, his face and eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Qingjiu stepped out of the room, the warm sunlight falling on her gentle and beautiful face.
Yet, that face showed not a trace of a smile—cold as ice, as if the very air around her was about to freeze.
Her Cultivation Base was higher than Sheng Sheng's, and she could faintly sense a constraint.
Not only was Sheng Sheng unable to speak about matters from her past life, but Jiang Qingjiu herself was also unable to reveal that she could hear Sheng Sheng's inner thoughts.
It was precisely this constraint that made Jiang Qingjiu believe in Sheng Sheng's inner voice.
Jiang Qingjiu's expression turned icy.
Bullied by her own family, her Cultivation Base destroyed, her body discarded in the wilderness, and her bones gnawed by wild dogs?
Hah.
This damned, wretched fate!
If it truly intended to destroy everyone in their sect, then she might as well shatter this very sky!
Let everyone perish together!
Jiang Qingjiu thought darkly.
Don't expect someone who had been exploited since childhood to be a good person.
If the future truly turned out as revealed by her little junior sister's inner thoughts, she would rather perish together with her enemies than let any of them go unscathed!
Inside the room, Guan Yuanbai leaned closer to Sheng Sheng.
"Little junior sister, how are you feeling now?"
"Do you want to sleep or eat? Is there anything Fifth Senior Brother can help you with?"
Looking at her fifth senior brother, who was only sixteen years old, Sheng Sheng felt equally excited.
The black-eyed youth with fiery red short hair was bold and unrestrained, full of vigor and spirit. When he laughed, two sharp canine teeth would show.
Memories from her past life flashed through her mind—her fifth senior brother, covered in blood, trampled into the mud, a pitiful sight.
Sheng Sheng's heart ached.
【Wuwu, Fifth Senior Brother, I missed you so much!】
Huh?
Guan Yuanbai was stunned for a second. Had he just imagined it?
Did he just hear little junior sister speaking?
Guan Yuanbai stared at Sheng Sheng's unmoving mouth, her neck still wrapped in white bandages, clearly unable to speak.
I must have imagined it, Guan Yuanbai thought.
But the next second, he heard it again.
【Fifth Senior Brother, don't worry. In this lifetime, I will definitely protect you!】
【I absolutely won't let you be tortured to madness and then thrown into an Alchemy Furnace by a Demonic Cultivator to be refined into Medicinal Pills!】
Sheng Sheng tightly grasped Guan Yuanbai's fingers. She was still small, her fingers soft and tender.
She could only barely hold onto a few of Guan Yuanbai's fingers, her milky little face filled with determination.
Guan Yuanbai blinked, staring at the little junior sister who looked like a small dumpling on the bed, belatedly realizing something.
"Little junior sister, did I just…" hear your inner thoughts?
The thoughtless words only managed to escape halfway before the rest was choked back, stuck in his throat.
Guan Yuanbai's face flushed as he struggled, caught off guard and choked on his own saliva.
"Ugh… cough, cough, cough!"
【Fifth Senior Brother is still so clumsy. He's already at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he still chokes on his own saliva. I must protect him!】
A hint of pity flashed in the five-year-old child's eyes.
Guan Yuanbai's eye twitched—that really wasn't necessary.
He was such a grown man; if he had to rely on his five-year-old junior sister for protection, it would be too embarrassing!
If word got out, he'd be scolded by his senior brothers and sisters.
"Little junior sister, why do I feel like you were just calling me stupid?"
Guan Yuanbai poked his little junior sister's soft, chubby cheek.
Sheng Sheng wrinkled her nose and pushed his finger away.
[If you weren't stupid, you wouldn’t have been deceived after the destruction of Yunmiao Sect in your past life, leading to your miserable death and even causing my memories to be sealed by that jinx Luo Yuyang.]
[Later, you were unlucky enough to have your mind broken by that Immortal Venerable of the Way of Heartlessness, used as a substitute, and finally killed your wife to prove the Dao—pierced through the heart with a sword, your very soul obliterated.]
What?!
Guan Yuanbai was horrified.
Had he… heard that right?
Yunmiao Sect destroyed?
Mind broken?
Killing one's wife to prove the Dao?
Pierced through the heart?
Even his soul obliterated?
What kind of joke was this!
No!
Absolutely not!
This was their most beloved little junior sister, who should have a smooth and fortunate life—how could she end up like that!
