Chapter 265: Older Sister, Please Save Me 【 Female Supporting Character Xie Yanning’s Story 】
When Xie Yanning reached one hundred years old, she had already reached the mid-stage of Void Refinement, a cultivation that almost everyone envied.
She went about alone, venturing into secret realms by herself.
Then, she encountered a pitiful rabbit demon.
He bit at her skirt hem, looking up at her, his snow-white fur was incredibly soft, as if it were fluffy cotton, making him adorable.
It was just a pity that it was stained with blood.
“Senior Sister, Senior Sister, save me… please…”
“Do you know who I am?”
Xie Yanning raised an eyebrow. Qingyan Sword was thrust in front of the rabbit demon, carrying a chilling intent.
A flicker of displeasure crossed the rabbit demon’s face, as if he found it troublesome. He whined again, “Please… Senior Sister, if you don’t save me… I’ll be killed…”
“Aren’t all of you from the Sword Sect of the Righteous Path? They want to kill me without asking any questions. Senior Sister, can you do something about it?”
Xie Yanning looked up and indeed saw four or five people behind the rabbit demon.
Looking at their appearance, they were all from the Human Race.
And all of them were from the Sword Sect.
Xie Yanning was a direct disciple of an Elder. She wore a completely blue disciple uniform with three wave patterns on the collar; these individuals were inner disciples, wearing blue and white disciple uniforms with only two wave patterns on the collar.
Two at the early Void Refinement stage, and two at the mid-stage Spirit Transformation stage.
However, she was also from the Sword Sect. This rabbit asking her to stand up for him was probably seeking the wrong person.
Xie Yanning asked, “What did he do wrong?”
“He’s a demon! He ran into the Human Race, shouldn’t he be killed?”
Those few people did not expect to encounter Xie Yanning. Although Xie Yanning was not the Chief Disciple of the Sword Sect at that time, her cold and violent nature had already spread throughout the entire Sword Sect.
Xie Yanning said, “The Demon Race and the Human Race are on friendly terms, and the Sword Sect also has demon disciples. If you act like this, won’t you embarrass those fellow disciples?”
“But Senior Sister, this rabbit isn’t one of our Sword Sect’s things. He can’t even transform, isn’t he just a beast?”
“Senior Sister, Senior Sister, it’s not that I can’t transform, it’s that they beat me up like this, that’s why I can’t transform.”
Therefore, when these people saw the rabbit demon begging Xie Yanning for help, they found it somewhat amusing.
“Who else would you beg for help from, but Senior Sister Yanning? She’s not the kind of young woman who softens her heart just because you’re cute.”
“Doesn’t everyone know that Senior Sister Yanning is cold-hearted and ruthless, a master of the Ruthless Path? Would she go against us for a mere rabbit?”
“Senior Sister Yanning, give us this rabbit. We’ll make soup out of it for you. We guarantee the soup will be fresh and sweet.”
Before they could finish speaking, Xie Yanning slashed out with her sword, slicing off the corners of their clothes.
Xie Yanning said with a cold face, “I’m taking this rabbit.”
Saying that, she picked up the rabbit demon and left their line of sight.
Those few people originally wanted to pursue, but then they remembered Xie Yanning’s reputation and did not dare to chase. They could only stomp their feet in hatred, thinking that Xie Yanning was truly meddling. They would report her to the Elder!
The rabbit demon, who had been crying profusely and thought he had met a kind person, was suddenly thrown aside by Xie Yanning.
His snow-white fur became stained with dark grey dirt.
Rabbit Demon: “!!!”
Before he could react, he saw Xie Yanning walking further and further away from him.
Truly cold-hearted and ruthless, with no affection for him at all.
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed, “Since Xu Qing’an left, A Ning has spent nearly a hundred years like this.”
Bai Bai said, “So, her seed has begun to grow again.”
Ming Zhaoshuang then asked, “How did Jiu Zhou manage to uproot A Ning’s seed?”
Bai Bai pondered, “Roughly, by being persistent.”
Ming Zhaoshuang looked up and saw the scene change. The rabbit demon had already caught up with Xie Yanning.
“Fairy Sister, thank you for saving me. You are completely different from what they said.”
“Fairy Sister, my name is Jiu Zhou. What is your name?”
“Fairy Sister, will you pay attention to me?”
Just now, he was respectfully calling her Senior Sister, but now he had revealed his true colors and was calling her Fairy Sister.
He was also whining and whimpering. Ming Zhaoshuang felt unable to watch.
I must say, the rabbit demon had quite a knack for seducing innocent young women.
Xie Yanning paused suddenly, as if remembering something. She turned to Jiu Zhou and said, “The Spiritual Beast I need to execute is at the late Void Refinement stage. It’s useless for you to follow me.”
The rabbit demon looked quite wronged.
Xie Yanning said, “I saved you purely out of righteousness. I don’t believe all foreign races should be executed. Humans have their dao, and demons also have their dao. If you do something wrong, I won’t save you either.”
The rabbit demon rubbed his face with his hoof, seemingly not understanding the meaning of Xie Yanning’s words.
Xie Yanning, however, turned and drew a circle for him with her sword.
“Stay here and behave.”
Xie Yanning’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance. The rabbit demon wanted to continue chasing Xie Yanning, but he bumped his head on the defense shield Xie Yanning had set up.
When he looked up again, Xie Yanning had already vanished.
Xie Yanning fought that Earth Rank Spiritual Beast for six full days before finally executing it. When she finally completed the sect’s commission, she descended the mountain and once again arrived before the circle she had drawn.
Jiu Zhou had already disappeared.
Indeed, that circle could only trap him for a moment.
Xie Yanning thought of the touch of the rabbit’s snow-white fur, lowered her gaze, and felt a sense of loss.
Actually, keeping a chirpy rabbit around wouldn’t be bad.
Ten more years passed. In the Sword Sect’s Heavenly Ranking competition, Xie Yanning entered the top ten, defeating a Senior Brother at the Body Integration Stage.
However, when she stepped down, there were only a few cheers. Almost no one could believe that she could fight at the Void Refinement stage against someone at the Body Integration stage and break into the top ten.
She hadn’t expected it either.
Suddenly, from the Artifact Sect’s seating area, someone ran out and approached her, presenting her with a flower wreath.
The flower wreath was extremely fragrant, and it was still adorned with the morning dew.
The one presenting the flower wreath was an exceptionally obedient young man. The two dimples at the corners of his mouth were filled with tender affection when he smiled, making people feel fond of him.
The surroundings buzzed with discussion. Xie Yanning returned the flower wreath to him, “I don’t need this kind of thing.”
The young man smiled at her, “Then what does Fairy Sister want?”
Xie Yanning found this question strangely familiar, but it had been over a decade, and she didn’t remember Jiu Zhou at all.
She said, “Are you from the Artifact Sect?”
The young man touched his head, looking a little embarrassed, “I’m not a sword cultivator, so I can’t join the Sword Sect, but my feelings for Fairy Sister are the same, whether in the Sword Sect or the Artifact Sect.”
Xie Yanning saw through him at a glance, “You’re a demon.”
The young man looked puzzled, “Didn’t Fairy Sister say it? Humans have their dao, and demons also have their dao. In your eyes, humans and demons are the same.”
Moreover, the Human Race and the Demon Race are on friendly terms. As long as the Demon Race can transform, they generally won’t face discrimination from the Human Race.
Like Jiu Zhou, before he reached the Spirit Transformation stage, he was just a rabbit demon. Generally, no one would treat him as a human, only as a beast.
But if he could transform, he would possess human rights. As long as he worked hard enough, the Artifact Sect would even accept him as a disciple, albeit an outer disciple. But this also indicated the closeness between the Human and Demon races.
The Human Race is in opposition to the Demon Race, but friendly with the Demon Race.
Xie Yanning felt he was increasingly familiar, but she had not had much contact with others in recent years, so she couldn’t spare much thought for Jiu Zhou.
She knitted her brows, “What is your name?”
The young man answered loudly, “Jiu Zhou. ‘Jiu’ from ‘long,’ and ‘Zhou’ from ‘daylight.'”
Xie Yanning got straight to the point, “Do you like me?”
Jiu Zhou nodded vigorously.
Xie Yanning said, “I don’t like you. You can leave.”
Xie Yanning’s talent was high and her appearance was good. Although most in the Sword Sect practiced the Ruthless Path, there were still people who confessed their feelings to her.
Xie Yanning cultivated the Path of Emotion and had once considered seeking a Dao Companion to prove her dao.
But she grew more and more disgusted.
Those men, they had talent but lacked effort, and without anything, they still held themselves with an arrogant attitude, just spewing nonsense. They weren’t even as cute as her sword.
Her sword was named Qingyan, the ‘Qing’ from Xu Qing’an and the ‘Yan’ from Xie Yanning.
