Chapter 5 A Terrible Past Life
It was already quite late when Su Luo and her two senior sisters left. Even though they rushed back as fast as they could, flying on their swords after leaving the back mountain, it was already dark when the three of them finally arrived at the main peak's plaza.
The square was large, but there was no one there; it seemed everyone else had gone home.
Su Luo jumped off the sword with the two of them and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She really disliked flying on a sword. The sword was so small, and when a person stood on it, they had to maintain a certain casting posture. They couldn't sit or move around freely, which was really uncomfortable!
Although flying on a sword looks cool, she still prefers a more comfortable way of flying and would rather buy a small flying vehicle!
Wan Lingyue looked at Su Luo and said, "Junior Sister Su, we must go back to report to Master. We will take our leave here."
Su Luo waved her hand, "Okay. Thank you both for today, senior sisters. You can go back to your work."
"You should go back and report as soon as possible. Your master must be very worried..." Yu Linlang suddenly remembered something and shut her mouth.
Oh no, she had momentarily forgotten Su Luo's predicament.
Wan Lingyue secretly glared at her.
Who doesn't know that Qingya Zi has never cared about Su Luo, his cheap disciple? He really doesn't think before he speaks.
Yu Linlang pursed her lips, her face full of regret.
Su Luo smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
“My master is always focused on cultivation and doesn’t care about other trivial matters. How could I dare to bother him with such a small thing? Besides, it’s getting late. I should go back and rest. I’ll report to him tomorrow.”
Wan Lingyue nodded, "Junior sister, you've worked hard today too. Go back and rest early."
Su Luo feigned obedience and replied, "Yes, I will."
"Then we'll take our leave."
Yu Linlang nodded to Su Luo, a hint of regret and pity flashing in her beautiful eyes, but in the end she didn't say anything and turned to leave with Wan Lingyue.
Su Luo watched the two leave without looking back, and after a while, she turned her head to look at the other side of the main peak, in the direction of Luoxia Peak, her pupils flashing with light and shadow.
It's too late today; she can't go to Qingya Zi to tell him she wants to leave Tianyi Sect. Tomorrow morning, she'll go to him immediately and ask to leave Tianyi Sect to get completely away from these troubles. She believes her cheap master won't refuse.
In his previous life, Qingya Zi was so engrossed in cultivation that he would often go into seclusion to cultivate, rarely visiting his disciples, and the relationship between them was not deep. During his seclusion, he basically entrusted Ye Danqing with handling all matters, big and small.
After becoming the original owner of the body, she had no choice but to stay by the female lead's side in order to complete the mission. She couldn't get along with anyone in the Tianyi Sect and often caused trouble.
The main reason is that Su Luo doesn't want to get along with them. She thinks she will go back sooner or later anyway, so she doesn't care about anyone. This often makes Ye Danqing angry and even threatens to kick her out of the sect.
Unfortunately, before he could even drive himself away, he was stabbed to death by his most cherished junior sister, Ning.
Ouch... that was a terrible death...
Thinking of this, Su Luo got goosebumps all over. She shook her head, summoned her spirit sword, carefully stood on it, and flew to Luoxia Peak on her sword.
Luoxia Peak was a mountain peak that the Second Elder, Qingya Zi, created himself after becoming an elder. The mountain is steep and the terrain is wide. Qingya Zi's cave is located at the top of the main peak, while Su Luo and several other inner disciples have their own caves halfway up the side peak. The other outer disciples and servants live in houses at the foot of the mountain.
Su Luo was glad that she at least had her own cave dwelling where no one would disturb her.
As soon as she entered her cave, the stone door immediately closed, blocking the prying eyes of a small yellow bird outside.
After circling around and realizing it couldn't get in, the cloud-winged bird landed on a branch not far from the cave entrance, its red eyes fixed on the opening.
After Su Luo went in, she immediately lay down on the bed without moving, her gaze unfocused. After a long while, she clenched her right fist, pounded the bed hard, and cursed angrily through gritted teeth.
"What a terrible past life!"
Su Luo felt a burning urge to bite her whenever she thought about her previous life.
In her past life, she accidentally read a popular cultivation novel. Only the first part of the novel was published. It mainly tells the story of Ning Wanshuang, a top cultivation genius in the cultivation world, and the tragic love between her and the male protagonist of the demonic path, due to their different positions.
Although the novel was so melodramatic that Su Luo complained about it from beginning to end, she was the kind of person who wanted to get to the bottom of a story, so she asked, "What about the next part?"
Suddenly, she was summoned to this cultivation world by a mysterious force, and she transmigrated into the body of a female cultivator from the Tianyi Sect with the same name as Su Luo in the novel. Su Luo was an ordinary cannon fodder senior sister.
Upon transmigrating, she accepted all of the original owner's memories.
Su Luo, the original owner of this body, was a disciple under the Second Elder of the Tianyi Sect. She was mediocre in talent, had an unlikable personality, and no background, so she was not well-liked in the sect.
The female protagonist of this book, Ning Wanshuang, is an absolute heartthrob; she's powerful and beautiful, the kind almost everyone likes. In contrast, Su Luo is just cannon fodder, a mere obstacle on the heroine's path to success.
Tsk... There's no harm without comparison.
Ning Wanshuang was indeed formidable; at such a young age, she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and a group of male cultivators were willing to go through fire and water for her. However, even someone as outstanding as her was defeated by a Heavenly Demon who appeared out of nowhere.
That demon was too powerful, surpassing even the Nascent Soul Ancestor. He single-handedly killed various powerful figures in the cultivation world, and even destroyed the protagonist's father, becoming the king of the demon race. This led to the demon race beginning to recklessly invade the cultivation world, the demon world, and the human world.
Wherever the demons went, it turned into a living hell.
Su Luo still remembered the end of the first half of the novel, where the male and female protagonists put aside their prejudices and fought against the Demon King together. However, even though they tried their best, they couldn't touch the Demon King's sleeve at all, and instead ended up with themselves covered in wounds.
Even while reading the novel, Su Luo couldn't help but marvel at the power and terror of this demon king. She was even faintly intimidated by the demon king in the novel, who wielded a blood-red demon sword, wore all black, and had a black mask on his face.
Before Su Luo could think any further, an aged voice rang in her mind: "As the Heavenly Dao, I cannot stand idly by and watch the world be destroyed by that demon, so I summoned you, this variable, to intervene in the world. Your mission is to help Ning Wanshuang save this world and defeat the demon."
Excuse me?
For a moment, Su Luo was speechless.
Is this being of the Heavenly Dao a bit slow on the uptake? So many powerful Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't defeat that demon, so what can this Foundation Establishment waste do?
Help Ning Wanshuang? Don't be ridiculous. What can she possibly do to help her? Serve her tea and water?
But the voice kept repeating that sentence, ignoring Su Luo's doubts and completely disregarding her thoughts. Its arrogant attitude made Su Luo laugh in anger.
"That's really great..."
She was living a perfectly good life in the modern world when this mysterious force inexplicably dragged her to a strange cultivation world, making her transmigrate into a cannon fodder senior sister, and even forcing her to serve Ning Wanshuang, who was like a female lead, and dedicate her life to her! It's ridiculous!
Why should she listen to whatever he says? Is the will of Heaven so great?! Why should it decide her life?!
What kind of bullshit Heavenly Dao is this?! This world is about to be destroyed by the demon, and instead of dealing with the demon itself, the Heavenly Dao expects her and Ning Wanshuang to do it? Are they out of their minds?!
She won't do it!
Su Luo's rebellious spirit surged, and she simply gave up, lying in bed for a whole month, not going anywhere, letting that voice ring out every day without even lifting her eyelids.
The being claiming to be the Heavenly Dao seemed to be wary of something and couldn't do anything to her. In the end, having no other choice, it had to compromise and promise that as long as Su Luo helped Ning Wanshuang get rid of the Demon King, it would send her back to the modern world and guarantee her a life of wealth and honor for the rest of her life.
Thinking about her own lazy, unemployed life in modern times, Su Luo shamefully felt tempted.
It's not a bad thing for her to try her best for a brighter future! Being the female lead's sidekick is no big deal! After all, she's the protagonist, and the protagonist always wins in the end!
With this in mind, Su Luo agreed to the Heavenly Dao's request and took the initiative to show goodwill to the female lead, striving to become the most capable assistant by her side.
For some reason, Ning Wanshuang, who should have been the most popular female lead, unexpectedly put on a veil and refused the advances of the male cultivators. Her personality and temperament underwent a change.
None of that matters. What matters is that Ning Wanshuang has absolutely no romantic feelings for the male lead! Instead, she inexplicably becomes attached to him! Ning Wanshuang not only makes him do this and that all day long, but later on, she even occupies all of his space and time, and occasionally goes crazy at him.
Su Luo became increasingly exhausted from being entangled.
Even asking her cheap master and senior brother for help didn't work, because they couldn't do anything about Ning Wanshuang either. So they all just brushed her off, saying, "Since Shuang'er likes you, it's only right that you, as her senior sister, stay by her side at all times and take good care of her."
Su Luo was so angry she almost vomited blood. She turned around and gave the two biased bastards the middle finger. At the same time, she began to hesitate about whether to give up her wonderful life in the real world, stop staying by the female lead's side to complete the mission, and leave Tianyi Sect.
Being around the female lead is suffocating.
Before she could even make up her mind, demons from who-knows-where destroyed the protective formation of the Tianyi Sect. The demons stormed in, turning the Tianyi Sect into a sea of blood.
What shocked Su Luo the most was that the culprit was actually Ning Wanshuang! Even the young demon lord and a group of demon generals followed her obediently, showing her the utmost respect.
The original novel is completely ruined!
What followed was the tragedy of the demons annihilating the Tianyi Sect. The people of the Tianyi Sect were either killed or injured, and she was not spared either, being ambushed by that scoundrel male protagonist.
As her consciousness faded, Su Luo seemed to see a red figure rushing towards her in her blurred vision, along with a shrill and desperate cry.
"Su Luo!"
Su Luo suddenly woke up with a start, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar cave again. It was already broad daylight.
This is her cave dwelling...
It turned out that she had fallen asleep last night while reminiscing about her past life.
Su Luo subconsciously touched her chest again, finding no injuries there, before lowering her hand and silently sitting up.
It seems that everything yesterday was not a dream; she really was reborn, reborn to the time before anything happened.
Su Luo jumped off the bed, wiped her face, and a determined look appeared in her eyes.
Whether Ning Wanshuang saves or destroys the world is none of her business. She's done it! She doesn't want the promise Heaven has given her!
Although it's a pity that I can't lie down and enjoy a life of wealth in the real world, on second thought, I don't have anyone worth staying for in the real world, so I might as well live honestly in this cultivation world!
Anyway, she can make money by selling talismans, and with her cultivation level, she can live a leisurely life in the human realm. She can then find a secluded island to retire on. Even if Ning Wanshuang, that crazy woman, wants to go mad and destroy the world, it will have nothing to do with her.
Today, she must leave Tianyi Sect and stay away from these lunatics and trouble forever!
The best approach is to survive by lying low.
Overwhelmed by her impending freedom, Su Luo completely forgot one thing: despite her rebirth, the Heavenly Dao hadn't bothered her again. By the time she realized this, a long time had passed.
