After a Fake Death, the Emotionless Dao Senior Sister Became Obsessed - Chapter 13

Chu Zhao tossed away the peanuts.

She pressed against Si Jing from behind, her slender arms wrapping around her, her small chin resting on Si Jing’s shoulder, her apricot eyes blinking lightly.

Shen Susu cried out, unable to stop her, and covered her face with her sleeve in fear.

Her Senior Sister disliked physical contact the most. Back at Emerald Peak, she couldn’t count how many disciples were thrown to the ground for getting close without permission.

Yet, no heavy impact was heard.

Yuan Ling also poked her in the waist, and she slightly lowered her sleeve to peek.

The streets and alleys were still bustling with people, but ever since Chu Zhao clung to her, Si Jing stood still, like a quiet feather of snow, completely unmoving.

With one still and one moving, Chu Zhao took liberties, first hugging her waist, then circling to stand in front of her, burying her face in Si Jing’s chest and rubbing.

Hearing bold remarks like “Beauty smells good” and “Want more to eat,” Shen Susu covered her face with her sleeve again.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, was this something that could be said?

Oh well, perhaps this demoness sister and her Senior Sister, who was detached from worldly affairs, were already… in that kind of relationship.

It seemed that it wasn’t a mistake for her and Yuan Ling to have stumbled into a brothel.

As long as there were disciples of the Harmony Sect around, this world was inherently one giant brothel.

Finished with her thoughts, she stole a sorrowful glance at Yuan Ling beside her.

It was a pity that her little Senior Sister was just as slow-witted as her Senior Sister.

The two walked closer to Si Jing’s side and heard Chu Zhao still persistently pleading, “More, more!”

“Beauty, my treat!”

“I want more peanuts tonight, with fragrant dried shrimp for a drinking snack!”

So that’s it. Shen Susu quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She really had a clever pair of ears. She could piece together whatever she wanted to hear.

Si Jing pulled Chu Zhao away from her, her expression unreadable.

After a moment of silence, she took a light yellow talisman from her sleeve.

Seeing the familiar scribbled charm, Chu Zhao immediately ran far away, “If you don’t want to treat me, just say so! Shameless immortal cultivator!”

She was quite displeased and gave a soft snort, “I’m not playing with you anymore!”

Her Daoist robe belt accentuated the girl’s graceful figure. She turned and darted into the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone.

Si Jing put the talisman away.

Without looking at it, she spoke to Yuan Ling and Shen Susu, “Did you find anything?”

Yuan Ling was still gazing in the direction Chu Zhao had left.

Shen Susu thought for a moment, took out the cloth pouch tied to her waist, and her eyes lit up.

“Oh, right, Senior Sister! Just now at the inn, I picked up the scattered spirit stones one by one, and when I counted them, I found that there were many more than there should be!”

She and Yuan Ling had gone on a massive shopping spree in Yingchuan City yesterday, so logically, they should only have half their spirit stones left.

Si Jing nodded, not overly surprised, and then looked at Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling hesitated for a moment, then pointed in the direction Chu Zhao had left, “Senior Sister, yesterday, I… we bought the immortal cultivator sister… a pair of embroidered satin new shoes there. There should only be one pair.”

“But, but, why is there one here now?”

A pair of red, pearl-inlaid shoes was displayed right at the entrance of the clothing shop. The craftsmanship was exquisite and clearly couldn’t have been finished in a single day.

Chu Zhao hadn’t gone far. Attracted by the beautiful shoes, she stood at the doorway staring longingly, her eyes wide.

She tugged dejectedly at the plain Daoist robe on her, intensely disliking it. Suddenly sensing the gaze of the three people in the distance, she stomped her foot in shame and anger and ran away.

“Good.” Si Jing withdrew her gaze, her tone slightly softened. “In that case, you two should be able to infer the current state of Yingchuan City.”

Shen Susu was originally happily clutching her money bag, but then suddenly noticed a person they had met before, their mouth opening and closing woodenly, saying the exact same words as yesterday.

“So, what Senior Sister means to say…” She couldn’t help but feel a little horrified, covering her mouth with her hand.

“We are currently trapped in a repeating day in Yingchuan City?”

Her voice was already very low, but as soon as it fell, several pedestrians who brushed past Shen Susu suddenly stiffened and stopped.

They slowly, slowly turned their heads and silently glanced at her.

Shen Susu nearly jumped up in alarm.

Yuan Ling had experience from past trials and covered her mouth, “Susu, be, be quiet.”

Watching those few people return to normal and blend into the crowd, Si Jing slightly relaxed the hand pressed on her sword hilt.

“Senior Sister, what should we do?” Shen Susu was still nervous.

Whether it was the shattered jade slip Si Jing spoke of, or the vague memories after yesterday evening, she was only now realizing the strangeness.

If Senior Sister hadn’t come to find them, she and Yuan Ling would probably be trapped in this spooky Yingchuan City, living a life of endless, cyclical intoxication.

“I still don’t know the true state of Yingchuan City. What we see now is merely an illusion set up by the demon,” Si Jing lowered her eyes and responded in a low voice.

“This place is dangerous. I can break the formation alone.”

“Yuan Ling, take Susu back to the inn. Use the restriction spell I taught you before; it can temporarily keep the two of you safe,” she instructed.

Shen Susu tried to protest but was quelled by Yuan Ling’s gaze. She could only nod, “Senior Sister, please take care of yourself.”

“Sen- Senior Sister,” Yuan Ling suddenly spoke up, a bit worried.

“The city is so dangerous. That immortal cultivator sister… is still unaware. If she leaves alone, will she, will she be in danger?”

“It’s nothing to worry about,” Si Jing replied.

That fish demon and the demon who set up the illusion in the city were closely related, and she was unharmed when facing the group of demons last night, so she should be capable of protecting herself.

After watching the two leave, she stood there for a moment.

If Yuan Ling hadn’t reminded her, she still wouldn’t have known when she, too, began to repeatedly consider whether the fish demon’s current situation was safe.

Clearly… she was nothing more than a bewitching femme fatale.

…

Yingchuan City was a mixed bag. Behind the hustle and bustle, the demonic energy grew increasingly dense.

In a corner of the market.

Chu Zhao rummaged through her personal hoard, pulled out a few sparkling pearls, tilted her head, and asked, “Are these enough to trade?”

She felt a little heartache. She had just used shells to trade for a decent, pretty outfit, and now she only had a few pearls left.

But the meat and date rice cake smelled truly delicious.

The man behind the snack stall looked blank, nodding stiffly, though his voice was quite lively, “Enough! I’ll cut it for you right away.”

He was generous with his knife, cutting a thick chunk and handing it to Chu Zhao wrapped up.

His body stiffened for a moment, seemingly manipulated, and he then took two strings of sugar-coated hawthorns from a nearby straw target, “A gift for you to try.”

Chu Zhao’s round eyes brightened. Without waiting to thank him, she crunched on a piece. Sugar glaze smeared her mouth, and her cheeks puffed out.

Who said she couldn’t live without those few mean immortal cultivators? She was still eating and dressing well.

According to those mortals who had previously worshipped her, she was the most powerful koi fish demon!

It was just… a little lonely.

She wished that right now, she could meet the Shan Hu lady coming to find her, just like yesterday.

Chu Zhao was glum and was about to leave with her food when the stall owner suddenly called out to her.

“I see the young lady enjoys a lively atmosphere. Yingchuan City is holding a spring play today, why don’t you go take a look?”

Chu Zhao listened to the stall owner for a few sentences and became quite interested.

Just as the crowd surged, all heading in the same direction, she eagerly followed the flow, wanting to join the fun.

Unfortunately, the stage was built quite far and high. Even standing on her tiptoes outside the crowd, she couldn’t see anything, utterly disappointed.

She turned around and unexpectedly bumped into an embrace with a strange fragrance.

The fragrance made Chu Zhao’s head dizzy. She looked up lightly, saw the person’s face, and smiled contentedly.

“Lady! You’re here. Hug me, Ah’Chu wants to watch the play.”

Shan Hu’s face was stunningly beautiful. She smiled gently and leaned close to her ear, “Alright, a hug.”

“However, after the play ends, would Ah’Chu be willing to accompany me to a certain place?”
