Chapter 71 - Chapter 70

The little girl felt a bit wronged and lost. Looking at Song Weizhi leaning on her, she complained, "Senior Sister, it's even tighter now, and I can't untie it." 

Song Weizhi raised her head and affectionately kissed the little girl's cheek, then smiled, "Alright, I'll help Xia Xia untie it." Saying this, she untied the belt that the little girl had tightly fastened around her waist, and then placed the little girl's hand on her belt, saying, "There, Xia Xia, you do it yourself this time." 

The little girl's face turned red, and stammeringly, she finally managed to take off Song Weizhi's outer garment. Song Weizhi saw the exposed skin on the little girl and blushed. She let go of the little girl, gently kissed her forehead, and said, "Xia Xia, Senior Sister is coming." 

The little girl blushed and closed her eyes directly. 

Outside the room, the rain intensified, and the raindrops tapped on the roof, splashing water around. The raindrops gently touched the tiles, and rainwater seeped from the tiles, being washed clean by the heavy rain. The rain was not heavy, but it was urgent at first. Under the cover of dark clouds, it seemed as if they were going to conquer this entire world. After the initial intensity, the sky slightly cleared, and the rain slowed down, but it continued to fall gently and continuously, lingering around the tiles and dripping ceaselessly. It seemed like a long time before the clouds dispersed, and the weather gradually cleared. 

The two souls merged together, and they could no longer distinguish each other. Song Weizhi left her mark in the little girl's soul and returned the two soul fragments to her. The little girl also left her mark in Song Weizhi's soul. 

When Song Weizhi woke up, she saw the little girl still sleeping soundly in her arms. It seemed like she was exhausted. Song Weizhi pulled the blanket over the little girl a bit and noticed the faint kiss marks on her. Song Weizhi's eyes softened, and she gently kissed the little girl's forehead. The memories of last night, with the alluring softness of her little companion, made it difficult for Song Weizhi to restrain herself. 

The little girl, kissed by Song Weizhi, began to wake up, naturally nuzzling against Song Weizhi's neck. Song Weizhi's kisses marked the little girl's cheeks and forehead. The little girl, with sleepy eyes, opened her eyes and found herself naked, pressed against Senior Sister's skin. The embarrassing memories of last night flooded back like a tide, making the little girl blush even more, and she buried her head lower. 

Seeing the little girl's reaction, Song Weizhi kissed her forehead again and said in a soft voice, "Xia Xia, you're awake, so cute." 

The little girl, too embarrassed to lift her face, coquettishly said with a hoarse voice, "Senior Sister~." 

"Alright, I won't tease Xia Xia anymore. Now Xia Xia is my little Dao Companion, and there's no running away." Song Weizhi said, not forgetting to kiss the little girl's ear, making the already rosy ears even redder. 

Unexpectedly, the shy little girl, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, looked seriously at Song Weizhi and said, "Senior Sister, you can't run away either. Senior Sister can only belong to Xia Xia." 

Song Weizhi chuckled softly and said, "Okay, after last night, I feel like I can't leave my Xia Xia anymore." 

The little girl, blushing, nuzzled against Song Weizhi's neck and said, "Senior Sister is so bad, hmm." 

"Where am I bad?" Song Weizhi teased the little girl with a raised eyebrow. 

"Hmm, you're just bad, bullying Xia Xia." The little girl, too shy, buried herself in the blanket without looking at Song Weizhi. 

Song Weizhi took a while to coax the little girl, and she didn't want to get out of bed with the soft and charming little girl in her arms. 

After both of them were ready, it was already mid-morning. At this moment, Song Weizhi received a system notification in her mind, [Congratulations to the host for helping the female lead successfully integrate two soul fragments. Reward: 2000 points. The current system points remain at 2400. Due to some disharmonious scenes yesterday, the system was automatically blocked, so the report is delayed until today.] 

Song Weizhi felt a bit awkward hearing this, but she remained calm on the surface. With eight soul fragments, she had found six. Both she and Xia Xia had entered Mahayana realm in their cultivation, only two major realms away from Ascension. Song Weizhi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, gradually settled down. 

On the other hand, after being knocked unconscious by Song Weizhi that day, Zhou Qingxue had been guarded by Wei Zhao. The first thing she asked upon waking up was about her father's news: "Where's my father? Where's my father?" 

Wei Zhao, sitting by the bed, glanced at Zhou Qingxue and said, "He's already dead." 

Tears welled up in Zhou Qingxue's eyes, shaking her head as she spoke, "I don't believe it. Where's my father? Take me to see him, take me." 

"You can't see him anymore; there's nothing left of his remains." Wei Zhao calmly replied. 

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingxue's eyes turned red, and her main spirit sword was already in her hand, pointing it at Wei Zhao, "Did your Mistress kill my father? No remains? He's my father, and I'll kill you all." 

Wei Zhao took out her main spirit whip and attacked Zhou Qingxue. Wei Zhao dodged while saying, "Your father harmed my Mistress and Miss Song first, Qingxue, don't be stubborn." 

"Stubborn? Perhaps my father is unforgivable in your eyes, but he raised me for nearly twenty years. You all think he deserves to die. Even my mother hated him to the bone. Maybe I shouldn't have appeared in this world at all. Wei Zhao, get out of the way. I want to avenge my father." Zhou Qingxue had long been muddled by her father's death and didn't care about anything else. She had already drawn her sword and stabbed Wei Zhao. 

Wei Zhao just stood still, showing no intention of dodging. The sword stabbed straight into Wei Zhao's chest, but Zhou Qingxue managed to pull back in time, and the stab wasn't deep. However, blood still oozed from the wound. 

"If you want revenge, kill me, but don't go looking for my Mistress." Wei Zhao didn't care about her bleeding chest and spoke. 

"Mistress this Mistress that, does she mean that much to you?" Zhou Qingxue pulled out the sword and stabbed it in Wei Zhao's chest, turned around, and ran away crying. 

Wei Zhao touched her chest and sighed softly. 

In a few breaths, Zhou Qingxue arrived at her mother's residence. She saw her mother holding a bowl of yogurt, feeding it spoon by spoon to Feng Yiliu lying on the bed. There was a tenderness in her mother's eyes that Zhou Qingxue had never seen before. Tears rolled down her cheeks, feeling that in this vast world, there seemed to be no place for her. Perhaps in her mother's eyes, she was never meant to exist. She quietly stepped back, mounted her sword without looking back, and left. 

After a short rest, Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia took a moment to breathe. Song Weizhi then took her little Dao Companion to see Feng Yiliu at Yao Xintong's place. She told her little Dao Companion the whole story, making her little Dao Companion shudder with fear. 

"Senior Sister, if we weren't so lucky, I'm afraid the outcome wouldn't be better than the two seniors." The little girl felt sorrowful after hearing about Yao Xintong and Feng Yiliu. 

Song Weizhi hugged the little girl and said, "That day will never come. With me here, don't think too much." 

The little girl affectionately hugged Song Weizhi's neck and nuzzled against it. 

"Alright, Xia Xia, don't be unhappy. Let's go see the two seniors." 

"Senior Sister, is it okay for me to be like this?" Song Zhixia looked at Song Weizhi somewhat nervously. 

"It's okay. The two seniors are not narrow-minded people. Come with Senior Sister obediently." Song Weizhi said and summoned her magic sword. In a few moments, they appeared in Yao Xintong's courtyard. 

"Senior Yao, may Xia Xia and I come to see Senior Feng?" Song Weizhi lightly knocked on the door and asked. 

Yao Xintong hurried over to open the door for Song Weizhi and them, "Sure, please come in." 

Song Weizhi held her little companion's hand and entered the room. Yao Xintong saw the black energy swirling around Song Zhixia and asked, "Who is this young lady?" 

Song Weizhi smiled and said while holding Song Zhixia's hand, "She is my Dao companion. Xia Xia fell into the demonic path under the coercion of the Third Prince's men, but whether she falls into the demonic path or not doesn't matter. As long as it's her, it's good." 

Yao Xintong looked at the two in front of her, her eyes showing a hint of complexity. After a while, she spoke, "Miss Song, I'm not as courageous as you. If I had the courage you have now twenty years ago, my Senior Sister and I wouldn't be in the situation we are now. You're right, falling into the demonic path doesn't matter. In this world, people's hearts are treacherous, and among the righteous cultivators, there are also hypocrites. I was too naive before. I understand this truth now. We should cherish the people in front of us." 

"Senior, rest assured, we will." Song Weizhi smiled and said. 

Walking to Feng Yiliu, who was in front of her, Feng Yiliu's complexion had improved a lot compared to the day she came out of the Sword Tomb. Hearing Yao Xintong mention that the past few months were given by Song Weizhi, she had been wanting to thank Song Weizhi, "Miss Song, I owe you my life for these three months. Thank you so much. I thought I would leave soon, but unexpectedly, I have these three months to accompany her." 

"Senior, you're exaggerating. I'm sorry I couldn't really save Senior." Song Weizhi said, feeling a bit uneasy. 

"Silly child, you have helped us a lot. Thank you." Feng Yiliu smiled. 

"Senior Yao, there is something I want to tell you." 

"Okay, let's go outside and talk." Yao Xintong gently put Feng Yiliu down and let her rest for a while. She and Song Weizhi went out to the courtyard. 

Song Weizhi pursed her lips and spoke, "Senior Yao, Senior Feng will be reincarnated in three months. However, her two souls and six spirits have completely dissipated in the Sword Tomb. Even if she reincarnates, she cannot continue on the path of cultivation. She can only be an ordinary person and suffer the cycle of reincarnation. Moreover, she will forget her past with Senior in each life." 

"I know this. I don't want to care about anything else. Qingxue and Chengwen are already adults. They have their own lives to live. I will only accompany my Senior Sister from now on. But as mortals have a short lifespan, I don't know how many years I can accompany her when I find her." Yao Xintong's eyes were filled with loneliness. She wasn't afraid that her Senior Sister would forget her over and over again; she was afraid that she couldn't find her Senior Sister early enough. 

"Don't worry about that, Senior. Take this." Song Weizhi handed a red-colored ore to Yao Xintong, explaining, "I just merged the essence of this thing into Senior Feng's body. As long as Senior holds this ore, no matter where Senior Feng is in the future, you can find her immediately." 

This ore was something Song Weizhi had just exchanged for 400 points. Since they had met, Song Weizhi felt that helping a little was better than nothing. 

"Miss Song, I really don't know how to thank you. We have only known each other for a few days." Yao Xintong looked at the stone in her hand in a daze.
