Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

It's like the only glimmer of hope held up in the face of the end of the world.

"Is it only Junior Sister Hongji?"

"Ah."

"Your Majesty is not doing a good job," Hong Miao said with a laugh.

It's unclear whether he was genuinely trying to ease the tension or just being sarcastic.

After a moment, she added:

"None of the former empresses of the Great Zhao Dynasty, with their three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, were spared."

"But now there are only two of us left," the senior sister said with a smile.

Why were you so cold just now, and now you're so nonchalant?

Is this a test or something else? What exactly is Senior Sister's attitude?

Even though he had reached the Transformation Realm in martial arts, when faced with this kind of situation, Xi Heng was still just as clueless as he was when he first entered the Sword Academy.

Can't see through.

She really disliked constantly guessing what others were thinking, so after hesitating for a few seconds, she chose her usual approach—to just say it directly.

"Senior sister, what are you really thinking?" She composed herself, with a hint of apology in her voice, and spoke slowly.

“Isn’t that what I think?” Hong Miao also said frankly.

"But just now, Senior Sister was both complaining and laughing... Which one is true?"

"It's all true," she said. "After I came back and saw that you had another lover, even if I'm a good-natured person, I would still have some complaints, right? Besides, shouldn't I have complained? Even if it was unavoidable, you should have told me beforehand, shouldn't you?"

"Ah..." Xi Heng uttered an apologetic sound: "I'm sorry."

“But as His Majesty, you have this tradition, so I can only complain a few times.” Senior Sister Hongmiao seemed to have returned to the carefree and natural demeanor she had as a senior sister of the Sword Academy a few years ago: “Even if you really have dozens of concubines, it is only right.”

"Hmm? So, you mean," the girl tried to understand, "that senior sister is upset that I didn't tell her, not..."

Only now has she realized how wonderful it is that such vulgar traditions existed in ancient times.

“But punishment is necessary,” Hong Miao interrupted, her tone turning cold again.

Xiheng suddenly felt uneasy.

A premonition seemed to be warning her that what she was about to face was something even she could hardly bear.

"What is punishment?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a gentle smile appear on Senior Sister Hongmiao's lips.

This seemingly gentle demeanor is more than ten times colder than her previous cold expression.

"Today, come with me to the Flower Pavilion." Hong Miao said, "You must go no matter what, and you are not allowed to resist."

grunt.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Zhao Kingdom swallowed hard.

My premonition grew stronger.

Just like before taking a cold shower in winter, even if you just look at the water valve without touching it, you can feel a chill.

……

Half an hour later, in the Qin Xie alley, flowers filled the front of the building.

"Let the storm rage on..." Xi Heng sat in the purple-gold carriage, his fingers brushing aside the purple curtains to reveal the familiar, towering, and magnificent buildings. He took a deep breath.

Having been led here by Senior Sister Hongmiao, her hopes had almost completely died.

It's unclear whether what lies ahead is a direct confrontation like a battleground, or something even more unsettling.

Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore.

She has now calmed down despite the unforeseen circumstances.

Even if a massive flood occurs before us, we can face it calmly.

And as she was pulled down from the carriage by Senior Sister Hongmiao's hand, her soft steps gradually moving forward... her heart became increasingly calm, as if she were about to become a heartless person without emotions.

"Yes, with this mindset, it doesn't matter how strange things may be next." Xi Heng believed that he had entered a new state of mind.

Even the sword's heart and sword intent gradually made slight progress due to the change in his mind at this moment, and he experienced a sense of expansion that he had not felt for a long time.

My soft steps tread the stone steps in front of the Flower-Filled Pavilion, past the threshold, and then across the familiar lotus pond.

The lotus flowers woven in the pool bloom in all four seasons, with some red and gold carp swimming and swaying in them, creating a harmonious scene.

On the surface, the elegant Senior Sister Hongmiao led Xiheng into the Flower Pavilion, and the scene appeared harmonious.

It seems like it really was just a get-together for a meal.

Xi Heng also hoped for this, but... things don't always go as planned.

Just as I crossed the small stone bridge and went around the screen, about to turn around and go up to the VIP room on the third floor to order food, I saw my junior sister Yan Hongji on the first floor instructing her subordinates to tidy up the tables and chairs.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her eyes to look and was initially delighted to see Xi Heng, but then paused slightly when she saw Senior Sister Hong Miao standing to the side.

A few seconds later, she seemed to realize something, and adopted a respectful demeanor, awkwardly making a fist-and-palm gesture towards the two senior sisters.

"Senior Sister Hongmiao has also come to the capital?" Hongji came to greet her.

Xi Heng stood behind him, pouting, feeling utterly hopeless.

“Well, I’ve been wandering around a lot these past few years and haven’t seen many old friends. I only returned a few days ago. How about we sisters have a get-together?” Hong Miao’s expression was quite natural.

For some reason, during the conversation, Hongji's gaze seemed to be drawn by a magnetic force, and she would look at Xiheng's wrist, which was being held, from time to time.

There was a vague understanding in my mind.

“Okay.” Yan Hongji smiled.

……

For some reason, the exquisite chairs in the Flower-Filled Pavilion felt uncomfortable no matter how I sat on them today.

Even when his favorite pastries were served, Xi Heng didn't reach out to touch them.

More importantly, the atmosphere among the three of them was a bit strange.

Yan Hongji was clearly aware of this as well, and unconsciously sighed softly.

Hongmiao took her attitude to heart, and after a moment, she spoke to Yan Hongji in her usual friendly tone:

"I came here to talk to Junior Sister Hongji about something."

It remains mild to this day.

"Mm." Yan Hongji nodded.

“Since this is a private matter between the two of you, even Junior Sister Xiheng would be best to step aside for now,” Hong Miao said. “Are there any rooms left in Hua Man Lou? The kind with larger beds.”

"Of course there is, Senior Sister Xiheng, why don't you go ahead first?" Yan Hongji replied as if reciting lines, "The room we agreed on before will do."

The following sentence seems to have been specifically mentioned.

"Oh, okay." Xi Heng obeyed orders like a controlled robot, causing no trouble for anyone.

Time passes slowly.

In the hall of Huamanlou, Yan Hongji and her senior sister Hongmiao seemed to be talking for a long time.

Almost half an hour had passed since Xi Heng arrived in the room before footsteps finally approached again outside.

Knock knock,

There was a knock on the door.

"Is Senior Sister still there?" It was Yan Hongji's voice.

"Yes, I'm here." Xi Heng had already been resting in bed for a while.

"Senior sister made a mistake." The voice outside didn't push the door open, it just said:

“Even if I had suspected it early on, Senior Sister should have told me about Senior Sister Hongmiao before she made love to me.”

“Ah…” Xi Heng apologized again.

"So next, it's time for Senior Sister's punishment for doing something wrong." The voice outside the paper door was clear.

Hearing those two words again made the unease that had been lurking in her heart since she arrived even clearer.

Suppressing her inner panic, she only asked, "What?"

Then, two familiar soft laughs came from outside the door:

"Your senior sister will find out soon."

The door on the other side gradually opened a crack, and then widened with a creaking sound.

First, Senior Sister Hongmiao stepped inside, carrying a square wooden plate. However, what it held was not a delicious meal, but a rope and a strange thick red veil...

Following behind was Junior Sister Hongji, who was holding a candle. She walked to the window, lit a red candle, and drew the curtains.

As the sun began to set outside, the indoor scene grew increasingly dim.

Xi Heng felt something was off, and his slender body instinctively shrank back: "What... is this?"

Junior Sister Hongji explained with a light smile: "Usually, I always have to take the initiative, but I rarely manage to reciprocate. After a few times, I run out of energy, which is really troubling—but your arrival has given me some inspiration."

"Today, I will let my senior sister experience it properly."

Even though her voice and tone sounded very sweet and gentle, these words only made Xi Heng more and more flustered.

"What did you teach her?" she hurriedly asked her senior sister Hongmiao.

"It's nothing," Hong Miao said with a smile. "I only mentioned it briefly, and my junior sister was able to apply it to other situations. She seems to have a lot of talent."

Yan Hongji reached out and took the thick gauze from the wooden tray, whispering, "Senior sister, please don't move... and remember to seal your inner strength properly, otherwise I will be very sad."

"Wait, is it really necessary to go this far?" Xi Heng wanted to object again.

But the next moment, a red veil was already covering her eyes.

It blocks out the entire field of vision.

……

The next morning.

A warbler called out its melodious song outside the window, which was covered by a red gauze curtain, its voice blending with the calls of other birds to create a light melody.

Like a natural alarm clock, it gently wakes people from their dreams.

indoor.

The red wax had melted, and the originally columnar candle had become a pool of solidified red oil in the lamp cup.

A few drops of wax were visible on the edge of the oil lamp, which had long since cooled and were now on the wooden table.

Three women were sleeping on the bed, all of them disheveled and with their hair loosely scattered on the pillows.

The two female disciples on either side were curled up asleep, only Xi Heng's sleeping posture was relatively normal, and she was the first to wake up.

The girl rubbed her eyes, turned her head slightly and saw that the two people beside her were still fast asleep, and slowly exhaled.

"I thought the punishment would be terrible..." she muttered to herself, "but it's not that bad after all."

The voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

Last night, the punishment that Yan Hongji and Hong Miao mentioned only lasted for half an hour. In the heat of the moment, they released her restraints, giving Xi Heng the opportunity to switch from defense to offense.

The so-called punishment was indeed quite mentally and physically exhausting. If a normal person were to endure it, it would be extremely embarrassing and unbearable, causing them to constantly beg for mercy and even cry and agree to some strange things along the way.

However, Xi Heng, whose cultivation had reached the Transformation Realm or above, was able to resist the advances of his senior and junior sisters by relying on his strong willpower and the special effects of the Primordial Chaos Qi.

Instead, after their defeat, they switched from defense to offense, and as always, crippled them.

In every sense, her strength completely overwhelmed her senior and junior sisters.

Xi Heng reached out his right hand and rubbed the head of his junior sister beside him.

A few strands of hair obscured the other person's exquisite face, which she gently brushed aside with her ring finger.

"Don't..." Hongji whispered, half-asleep.

"Alright." Xi Heng only said, "I still have court today, so I'll be going now."
