After Forcibly Taking Senior Sister - Chapter 5

Ji Linglu’s mind was filled with nothing but taking by force and claiming a proper status as soon as possible. In this life, no matter what, she had to fight for a legitimate title for herself and live like a proper person!

If the name Yun Ningqing could not be bound together with the three words Ji Linglu, then it would be better to kill this ghostly thing and the protagonist gong it kept talking about as soon as possible.

Suddenly, someone walked up in front of her, blocking the scorching sunlight that blazed like molten gold and jade. With a voice full of laughter, she asked,

“Slacking off again?”

Ji Linglu still lay on the chair, not moving in the slightest. She did not speak either, merely tilting her head as she looked up at the person before her.

Yun Ningqing leaned over and bent closer, tapping Ji Linglu’s forehead with her fingertip. “What? You ate Senior Sister’s pastries, and now you refuse to recognize Senior Sister?”

“No, I don’t.” Ji Linglu propped herself up, hugged Yun Ningqing’s slender waist, buried her face against Yun Ningqing’s waist and abdomen, and said in a muffled voice, “I had a dream—Senior Sister didn’t want Lulu anymore.”

“Nonsense.” Yun Ningqing thought that she had failed to comfort Ji Linglu properly yesterday, causing Ji Linglu to mistakenly believe she was still angry. She smiled and patted Ji Linglu’s back. “Lulu doesn’t know how precious she is, but how could Senior Sister not know?”

The two of them were not talking about the same thing, but by coincidence, they managed to talk past each other perfectly.

The death of her previous life was still right before her eyes. As soon as Ji Linglu thought of how she had died in front of Senior Sister, betraying their oath to live and die together, leaving Senior Sister alone to face the treacherous and ever-changing cultivation world, a dense, prickling pain rose in her heart.

Yun Ningqing thought Ji Linglu was still feeling uneasy because of the matter of “Qingqing” and the poems. Aside from finding it amusing, she could not help feeling affection and pity for Ji Linglu.

Ji Linglu lifted her face, looking utterly obedient. “Then will Senior Sister hide Lulu away in a golden house?”

Since she was such a great treasure, then naturally, she should be properly hidden and cherished.

Ji Linglu felt that she had still been too narrow-minded. If she was not allowed to take Senior Sister by force, then doing it the other way around and letting Senior Sister lock her in a little dark room was not impossible either!

The protagonist of a story doing whatever she wanted to a supporting character… This was very reasonable!

Ji Linglu did not know whether this reasoning could convince the ghostly thing, but in any case, she had convinced herself.

[Cough, cough, cough!]

When it coughed the first time and saw that Ji Linglu ignored it, the system thickened and deepened its mechanical voice, then coughed again. Still, no one paid attention to it.

For a moment, the system did not know whether it should be angry that its host had two completely different faces for it and for the protagonist shou, or whether it should remind Ji Linglu to let go of the pure and flawless protagonist shou.

Yun Ningqing still liked Ji Linglu’s lively, wanton appearance. Her clear, gentle eyes grew even softer. She pinched Ji Linglu’s fair little face and said with amusement, “Senior Sister would be very willing to hide Lulu away so no one else could see her. Only…”

She deliberately left her sentence hanging.

Ji Linglu looked at her with tearful eyes.

The system leaped out to act as an envoy of justice. [She didn’t even leave a mark on your face! Your acting is too fake. You’re deliberately framing the protagonist shou!]

Ji Linglu fell silent. Did it think it was very clever?!

Although she did not know whether this ghostly thing was truly stupid or merely pretending to be, she deeply realized how serious the situation was. If she did not teach it a lesson now, then later, when she and Senior Sister were being intimate, if it suddenly popped up and startled her, the one who would suffer in the end would still be Senior Sister…

She said coldly in her heart, “Do you not understand the principle of ‘look not at what is improper’? If you interrupt again, I’ll kiss Senior Sister again. On the mouth.”

The system wanted to cry.

Ji Linglu, with great foresight, added, “And no wailing like a ghost either.”

Its scream had been cut off before it could even begin. The system decided to download a sobbing installation package for itself, attempting to make a certain stone-hearted host change her mind.

After giving her instructions, Ji Linglu could finally place all her attention on Yun Ningqing. Her phoenix eyes blinked, her expression innocent, though in truth she was deliberately making trouble as she asked, “Only what? Is there something Qingqing can’t tell Lulu?”

The one who was favored always had nothing to fear. Moreover, throughout all of Mingguang Peak, aside from Yun Ningqing and Ji Linglu, there was no one else. Yun Ningqing had poured all her time, energy, and effort into Ji Linglu. As the only treasured darling, Ji Linglu naturally had plenty of courage to tease Yun Ningqing.

Since Yun Ningqing had let her climb into bed to sleep last night, that meant Yun Ningqing was not angry, or that her anger had already faded.

Now that it had been brought into the open, of course she had to mention it every day and call her that every night. Otherwise, would Ji Linglu not have wasted all that effort?

Even without the ghostly thing interfering, Ji Linglu in her previous life had been just as arrogant, throwing her weight around over Yun Ningqing’s head. One moment, she had just gotten into a quarrel with Senior Sister over the address “Qingqing,” and the next, she committed the same crime right against the wind. She was more than just a little bad.

Yun Ningqing pressed Ji Linglu’s elegant nose in exasperation. “Bad Lulu. Senior Sister means that you have already reached Foundation Establishment. It is time for you to go to Jishan Hall to receive missions, leave the sect for training, and see the wider world outside.”

If possible, Yun Ningqing also wanted to do exactly as Ji Linglu said and wished she could hide her Junior Sister on little Mingguang Peak for the rest of their lives, never letting her suffer the wind and rain outside. But that was impossible. If she did not want to leave behind regrets, then she could only urge Ji Linglu to grow.

Ji Linglu could not help tightening her arms around Yun Ningqing’s slim waist. Her voice took on a sobbing tone. Even though she was deliberately lowering herself and acting small in front of Senior Sister, there was some genuine feeling in it. “No! I want to be with Senior Sister forever. Here on Mingguang Peak. I don’t want to go anywhere.”

Just let her be weak for a moment.

It would be enough to hide here, to escape fate’s hands that overturned clouds and rain, to block out that terrifying heavenly light. Then the two of them could simply rest their heads upon fallen flowers and dream a long dream, ignoring the affairs of the world, never parting again.

Yun Ningqing’s hand moved away from Ji Linglu’s nose bridge and rubbed her earlobe instead. She sighed. “So childish.”

Ji Linglu still buried her face against Yun Ningqing’s waist and abdomen. Closing her eyes, she breathed in Senior Sister’s clear, cool fragrance. With this, she had the strength to continue opposing fate, the ghostly thing, and the Heavenly Dao.

“Lulu is childish and immature. Does that mean Senior Sister won’t love Lulu anymore?”

Earlier, when the system had seen Ji Linglu acting so soft, cute, and obedient, it had wanted to make sarcastic little tsking sounds. But it was afraid Ji Linglu would play dirty and attack the protagonist shou’s mouth in broad daylight, so it gave up.

But seeing this scene, the system only felt all of its code begin to stir restlessly—it wanted to startle its host and make her suffer a setback… No, it wanted to carry out its mission of reforming the vicious female supporting character!

After spending less than a single day with her, the system had already seen through many of this person’s essential traits: she repaid even the smallest slight, she was petty, and her possessiveness toward the protagonist shou was off the charts. If it disturbed Ji Linglu’s good moment now, perhaps Ji Linglu really would walk one road all the way into darkness and make it watch her and the protagonist shou’s “good moments” forever.

Damn it! What kind of system was led around by its host?!

If Ji Linglu knew what it was thinking, she would definitely add one more trait to herself: she did not care about, nor did she take seriously, the ghostly thing’s opinions in the slightest.

Yun Ningqing cupped Ji Linglu’s face and said seriously, “If Lulu can remain unable to grow up forever, that will be Senior Sister’s ability.”

Ji Linglu froze, raising her head in confusion to look at her. After coming back to herself, she lifted her brows and smiled. Using a clever bit of force with her hands, she lightly patted Yun Ningqing’s back and guided her into her arms, making Yun Ningqing sit sideways on her lap.

Just as Yun Ningqing was about to struggle and stand, Ji Linglu rested her chin on her shoulder and blew against her ear as she spoke. “Let me hold you for a while, Qingqing.”

Yun Ningqing would never guard against Ji Linglu. That was why it was very easy for Ji Linglu, who was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, to make Yun Ningqing, who was at the late Golden Core stage, “throw herself into her arms.”

Ji Linglu cut off what Yun Ningqing was about to say in advance. “If Senior Sister lets me hold her, I’ll behave and listen. Otherwise, Senior Sister can just wait to coax me.”

Yun Ningqing’s hand, which had been pressed against the hollow of Ji Linglu’s shoulder, changed to lightly patting her arm. Helplessly, she said, “So clingy, Lulu. It was only one night apart, and you already can’t bear to leave Senior Sister?”

Ji Linglu suddenly remembered that in her previous life, by the time she was surrounded and killed, she had not held Senior Sister properly like this in a very long time.

How was it only one night apart? Clearly, an entire lifetime of life and death, love and hatred, lay between them.

“I just can’t leave you. It would be best if I could become the hairpin in Senior Sister’s hair and stick to Senior Sister day and night.” Ji Linglu hummed and whined. “What should I do? Senior Sister thinks Lulu is clingy, but surely you can’t just change to a new Junior Sister, right?”

Yun Ningqing said nothing, lowering her eyes in thought.

Ji Linglu bristled at once. Even her phoenix eyes rounded as she held Yun Ningqing’s waist with both hands and said indignantly, “Senior Sister, you really want to change to a new Junior Sister?!”

Was she truly not afraid that after Ji Linglu went on a killing spree, she would hug Yun Ningqing’s leg and wail?

“You’re wronging Senior Sister again.” Yun Ningqing was thoroughly amused and helped Ji Linglu tidy her messy forehead hair. “Senior Sister was thinking about what delicious food to make Lulu for lunch. Can you let go of Senior Sister now?”

Who told her that no matter whether it was Yunzhong Jun or the little cultivator, her mouth was very picky? She would only eat food made by her own Senior Sister. Even if it was dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it still had to pass through Yun Ningqing’s hands once before she would be willing to open her noble mouth.

Ji Linglu watched Yun Ningqing head toward the kitchen, and rare peace filled her heart.

The system spoke hesitantly. [Host, don’t think too badly of us systems! I’m not a pervert! When the host is… mm-mm-mm, the system will automatically go offline. I won’t be able to see anything!]

Ji Linglu raised her brows, then slowly played with the grapes in the fruit plate, plucking, rolling, stroking, and flicking them with her fingers, letting the juice wet her palm and fingertips.

The cinnabar mole between her brows looked increasingly bewitching, making the light in her eyes appear even darker and more obscure.
