Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 454 What to do when your genius senior brother is determined to die? (20)

Si Yi flew at great speed on her sword, and by the time dawn broke the next day, they had already arrived at their destination.

"Senior brother, why did you stop?"

"Did your conscience suddenly kick in and you decide to take me out for a nice meal?"

At that moment, Zhao Zhao, who was half asleep and in a daze, was wondering why Si Yi had suddenly disappeared. When she opened her eyes, she was shocked by the desolation of the place.

Did the system change his world without his knowledge?

A gust of wind blew through the desolate grass, bringing countless specks of yellow sand that smeared my face and pulled me back from my reverie.

Suddenly, a wide black robe sleeve appeared beside him, blocking his way.

"Thank you." The familiar cool fragrance wafted over, and Zhao Zhao knew who it was without even opening his eyes. He bent down without ceremony, hiding in Si Yi's arms, and casually covered his head with Si Yi's sleeve to protect himself from the wind and sand.

"Where are we? The weather here is terrible."

The vast, desolate land was filled with endless yellow sand. Gale-force winds whipped up waves of sand that blotted out the sun, threatening to engulf the entire world.

However, amidst this deathly silence and desolation, the gusts of wind seemed to carry faint, intermittent human voices.

"The place where the Illusionary Netherworld opens." A clear, gentle male voice came from above. Zhao Zhao exclaimed in surprise, "What?!" We've arrived so quickly?

His plan to obstruct them hadn't even been fully implemented, and now he's telling him they've arrived at their destination?!

Recalling Si Yi's urging words, Zhao Zhao gritted his teeth silently. After the sandstorm subsided, he took a slight step back and, disregarding everything else, punched Si Yi in the chest: "Si Yi, you fucking lied to me again!"

"They kept saying the journey was too long and it wouldn't take three days! They kept urging us on and on! Urging us to eat and sleep! But they didn't urge us when you were catching the Nether Beast! And now you've arrived in half a night!"

"What's even true about what you're saying?!"

While Zhao Zhao was passionately engaging in a standoff, a group of cultivators who had been waiting nearby all turned their attention to watch the spectacle.

"Holy crap! Isn't that the Sword Master of the Phoenix Spirit Sword Sect?!"

Someone shouted, and then exclamations rose from all around: "It really is him! I saw him from afar three years ago during the sect competition!"

"Sword Lord truly possesses the bearing of a dragon and phoenix!"

"But who is the young master beside Sword Lord? He seems to have a rather bad temper, hehe."

"It's surprising that someone would dare to be so disrespectful to the Sword Lord. Let's go and see."

"Perfect timing, let's catch up with Sword Master, hahaha."

"......"

"Si Yi, are you feeling guilty? Say something!" Zhao Zhao stared at Si Yi, who looked at him with a helpless and indulgent expression, and her anger grew.

Damn it, what is this bitch pretending for now?

Compared to Zhao Zhao's excitement, Si Yi was exceptionally calm. He smiled gently and said, "Junior brother, stop making a fuss. It's all my fault."

"Fuck..."

"Sword Lord!"

Just as Zhao Zhao was about to ask him if he had taken the wrong medicine, she suddenly heard shouts coming from not far away. Turning her head, she saw a group of cultivators from various sects dressed in colorful clothes running excitedly toward them.

Zhao Zhao: ...He seems to know why Si Yi started pretending again.

"Sword Master, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?"

"Sword Master, my name is Ye Qingyu."

"Sword Lord..."

A large, bustling crowd, all with a clear purpose, rushed toward Si Yi. Zhao Zhao was automatically ignored, her thin body squeezed to the edge. She silently stared at the group of "enthusiastic fans" and Si Yi, who was wearing a fake smile mask, and looked up at the sky speechlessly.

As the youngest and most talented Nascent Soul Sword Master, Si Yi enjoys a very high reputation in the cultivation world.

Ignored by their chatter, Zhao Zhao simply squatted down, lowered her head to play in the sand, and silently listened to their boasting and reminiscing with Si Yi.

Occasionally, when I glance up at the tall, handsome young man surrounded by admirers in the crowd, I don't know why, but I gradually stop being angry.

Perhaps because they had no hope for Si Yi, they were naturally not disappointed; or perhaps because seeing him "force a smile" to deal with everyone made them feel comfortable.

As Zhao Zhao smiled and cursed him inwardly for deserving it, she suddenly heard a familiar, clear voice calling her name.

"Zhaozhao, come here."

So he rested his chin on his hand and looked up idly, his gaze meeting Si Yirou's gentle eyes amidst the crowd.
