Chapter 129: Sister… I Will Protect You (Special Chapter 18)
“Later, I realized that continuing like this was no different from waiting for death.”
“But I was not willing to die. Until one day…”
“A girl of a similar age in the cage couldn’t stand the treatment and took her own life. There were also girls who fell seriously ill and became bedridden, losing their ability to move.”
“These people did not hesitate to dispose of them.”
At this, Su Lian Yue’s eyes flickered. She still didn’t know where she had gotten the courage to make such a decision.
She stretched out a finger and traced Jiang Xianyue’s cheek, as if she were recalling her own appearance back then.
Jiang Xianyue affectionately rubbed against Su Lian Yue’s hand. She just listened silently to the rest of Su Lian Yue’s story.
As for how those girls were disposed of, Su Lian Yue had also guessed at that time.
Later, she discovered that these disposed girls all had one thing in common: they had all lost their use value.
Using this discovery, Su Lian Yue finally made a decision that she believed was the most important and correct one in her life.
That was to destroy her own face and let these people dispose of her.
This was her decision.
“I’ve forgotten what tool I used at that time. Then, I destroyed my own face with my own hands.”
“I only remember that the blood that flowed down my skin that day was so hot, and the wound seemed to be connected to my heart… it was a heart-wrenching pain. Even now, I can still feel… the pain of that day…”
“Sister…” Jiang Xianyue looked at Su Lian Yue’s face, and the images in her mind became more and more choked up.
“When those people saw that I had destroyed my face, they cursed and took me away.”
“They didn’t bother to kill me, which gave me a chance. Then they threw me into a forest full of man-eating spiritual beasts.”
“Fortunately, I was lucky and escaped. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have met me.”
Su Lian Yue smiled and moved her fingertip away from Jiang Xianyue’s face.
Jiang Xianyue: “Is this the reason why sister told me to hide my face?”
“Yes. In this world, the weak are prey to the strong. Being too beautiful is not a good thing.”
“After I destroyed my face, many people avoided me, thinking I was a jinx.”
“Although it was a little sad at that time, I got through it. In the end, with my own talent, I became a strong person and finally restored my face.”
Every time Su Lian Yue looked in the mirror and saw that perfect face, she felt a little unnatural.
“So, I can answer that question of yours.”
“Instead of saving you, it was more like saving my former self!”
Only then did Jiang Xianyue realize that she was indeed a little naive.
Her biggest worry was the high hopes that the former Sect Master of the Snowfall Sect had for her, and the arduous training she had to endure on a daily basis.
In comparison to Su Lian Yue’s experience, her own worries were simply not worth mentioning.
And for Su Lian Yue, destroying her own face was the first step to becoming stronger.
“Sister, I understand…”
Seeing that Jiang Xianyue was in low spirits, Su Lian Yue comforted her, “Everyone has her own way of becoming stronger. My experience may sound a bit miserable, but fortunately, I got through it.”
“No matter how difficult the experience is, when you suddenly look back, you can’t help but sigh… the light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains…”
Jiang Xianyue nodded.
“Did you get the answer you wanted? So… isn’t it time to rest?”
“Not yet. I still have the most important question to ask.”
Jiang Xianyue shook her head and continued to ask, “Sister, have you ever liked someone before?”
“Someone I liked…?”
“No.”
Su Lian Yue couldn’t think of anyone who was worthy of her affection. And she was already at the pinnacle of the way of cultivation. No one could catch her eye.
“Then what about now? Do you have someone you like?”
“No.”
“Then has anyone ever liked you, sister?”
Jiang Xianyue’s questions were getting sharper and sharper. Su Lian Yue didn’t know how to answer.
She usually never paid attention to these questions. As the Female Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, the attitude others had towards her was often only fear and awe.
Love, for someone who only pursued strength, was actually a bit abnormal.
Even if there was… she couldn’t feel it.
Jiang Xianyue concealed the joy in her heart. It turned out that her sister, who was so outstanding, was basically the same as her in terms of feelings.
She was completely clueless, and she couldn’t even distinguish her own inner feelings.
But Jiang Xianyue was willing to take the initiative to say it.
“Sister… now you have someone who likes you…”
Su Lian Yue didn’t understand what she meant and was about to speak when her hand, which had just been held, was suddenly clasped by Jiang Xianyue.
Palm against palm, feeling each other’s warmth.
“Sister… no matter how terrible your past experiences were, they are all in the past now.”
“From today on, I want to be with you… to experience every bit of your future with you.”
“I like you, sister. I hope I can have the honor of being a part of the rest of your life…”
After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, she boldly pressed Su Lian Yue down, her palm touching her flat and shapely lower abdomen.
Her fingers were restlessly moving upwards, about to touch that alluring peak.
At this moment, Su Lian Yue’s mind was a blank. Her body had never been touched so closely before, and her body had never reacted like this before.
Jiang Xianyue’s actions made her body burn with heat. Her proud cultivation seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
Su Lian Yue herself didn’t know why this was happening, why she had lost the ability to resist when facing Jiang Xianyue.
From the first intentional or unintentional physical contact, from the first time they held arms… the first time they held hands…
The high wall that Su Lian Yue had built in her consciousness against outsiders seemed to be being torn down by Jiang Xianyue, bit by bit.
Unconsciously, she had slowly lost her resistance to some of Jiang Xianyue’s actions.
Had she half-heartedly given in to her?
She struggled to speak. “You… what are you going to do…”
“Liking sister means getting intimate with sister… doesn’t it?”
“Sister… I’ve wanted to kiss you for a long time… can you close your eyes?”
Jiang Xianyue looked at Su Lian Yue under her, her heart also extremely hot. She had originally just wanted to tell Su Lian Yue what was on her mind. She didn’t know why she had become so bold.
But since things had come to this, she could only continue.
To complete in reality what she had only ever imagined.
Jiang Xianyue closed her eyes, her lips intentionally or unintentionally puckering as if searching for their destination.
Su Lian Yue watched the approaching kiss. She realized that she had to do something, but her mind was in a mess…
Should she accept it?
But what would happen after she accepted it?
Take her back to the Demon Realm… no…
Since things had come to this, she certainly couldn’t just leave her and go back to the Demon Realm.
She had to… she had to stop the loss in time.
Jiang Xianyue’s movements stopped. Her lips did not feel the soft and sweet touch she had imagined.
“No!”
Su Lian Yue pressed her fingertip to Jiang Xianyue’s lips, and her other hand grabbed Jiang Xianyue’s hand that was wandering on her body.
“We… can’t do this…”
Su Lian Yue turned her face away. She was panting, her face flushed.
She seriously asked herself, did she really not want someone like Jiang Xianyue who was so understanding and intimate?
Of course, it was obvious. She wanted to have… but now was not a good time.
Jiang Xianyue was still too young. She couldn’t make a mistake with her.
“Why?”
Jiang Xianyue blinked, looking at Su Lian Yue with a pitiful expression.
The pitiful little kitten was being intimate with its owner, but was ruthlessly rejected.
“No reason…” Su Lian Yue herself couldn’t think of a reason.
“Don’t you like me?” Jiang Xianyue asked.
Su Lian Yue did not speak. It would be a lie to say that she had no feelings for Jiang Xianyue, but she had to restrain this relationship.
“Then you do like me…”
Jiang Xianyue saw that the other party was not speaking, and Su Lian Yue’s expression had indeed betrayed her.
Her reason told her to refuse, but her instinct told her that she couldn’t…
Su Lian Yue, you also admit that you have feelings for this so-called little girl in your heart… even if it’s just a little…
“Then it’s alright to just kiss sister’s face, right…”
Jiang Xianyue’s offensive did not diminish at all. Su Lian Yue wanted to say something but was still outwitted by her.
Her warm lips were already pressed against her face, and it was a long time before they parted.
“It’s fine, sister.. you’ll agree to me sooner or later…”
“You’re very tired now. Go to sleep…”
Jiang Xianyue pressed against Su Lian Yue’s chest and whispered in her ear.
As Su Lian Yue listened, she relaxed her body and fell into a deep sleep.
She dreamed that she had returned to the past, the day she had destroyed her face.
Unlike in her memory, a girl had come out and stopped her.
“Sister… don’t do this… I will become strong… strong enough… to protect you even if it costs me my life.”
Su Lian Yue slept very sweetly this time.
