My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again - Chapter 23: You are bound to meet a few scums in your life (2)

Chapter 23: You are bound to meet a few scums in your life (2)

The girl’s little body stiffened before she relaxed slightly. She just buried her head in Shi Xia’s arms and did not speak.

After a long time passed, a trembling voice came from the embrace.

“Last time brother said to wait me under the tree for him, Niu Niu waited for a long, long time but …… brother did not come.”

“……”

“Just now, brother said to wait for him again, I want to wait for him but……”

“……”

“Sister Xia, is Niu Niu not well behaved?”

“…… You are very well behaved.”

“So …… did Niu Niu do something wrong?”

“No.”

“Then why didn’t brother come to pick up Niu Niu?”

“……”

“Brother …… doesn’t like Niu Niu anymore, does he?”

“Ugh ……”

“Actually …… Niu Niu knew it the last time.”

“……”

She didn’t say what she knew, but soon after the words were finished, the sound of crying came from Shi Xia’s arms. The sound of the sob was very small at first, as small as a mosquito. But soon it became louder and louder, and finally a big cry.

Shi Xia hugged her tighter, even gently patted her back. As she was comforting Niu Niu, she couldn’t help but think, it’s better to cry it out ……

****

Niu Niu cried for a long time, her cries didn’t stop until the sun went down. After sobbing almost the whole day, she fell asleep. Shi Xia carried her back to Dragon City and had a hard time finding a good place to take them in for the night.

The next morning, Niu Niu got up earlier than she did, she seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She got out of the bed herself, no matter how much Shi Xia tried to improve her mood, nothing seemed to be working on her. Her small face was still filled with gloom. It was heartbreaking for Shi Xia to see her small face filled with so much pain, she was just six or seven years old.

It must be because being abandoned by one of her closest relatives still has a shadow on her, right?

Shi Xia took her out and intended to stroll around the city. She wanted to improve her mood by strolling around the city and buying some fun stuff. But the city seemed more crowded than yesterday. There were so many people on the road that it was almost impossible to walk with a child.

Seeing the city being so lively overnight, she couldn’t help but be curious and ask one of the shopkeepers next to the street.

“These people are all coming to our Dragon City to meet the immortals.” The vendor explained with a proud face.

It turned out that the Lord of Dragon City was a martial arts practitioner, and although his cultivation level was not high, he was quite reputable. He seemed to have some connection with some immortal cultivation sects. Dragon City could also be considered a city where immortals roam around. Almost half of the residents of this city were immortal cultivators, so often cultivators from other sects come here. Many sects complete their selection taste on the Dragon city for convenience. Today is the selection day, there will be a selection taste to choose disciples for various sects in the Dragon City. This is the opportunity which everyone who wants to be an immortal cultivator was waiting for. If someone has good spiritual roots along with a clean mind and heart, then they would be introduced to well-known sects as their disciple.

The reason why there were so many people today was because today at noon, one of the immortal sects, Yuyin Sect would come here to choose disciples for their sect.

As a public enemy, Shi Xia wanted to run away the moment she heard a group of immortals were coming. When she was hesitating and thinking what to do, her sleeve was pulled by Niu Niu.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Xia squatted down and asked with worry.

Niu Niu still had her head lowered. Her small hands at her side were clenched tightly. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up and said, “Sister Xia, I …… I want to cultivate immortality!”

Although she spoke in a whisper, her voice was unexpectedly firm.

Shi Xia frowned, “Why?”

Niu Niu buried her head again and whispered in a small voice, “He …… has always wanted to be an immortal, and I …… want to see how it is.”

Shi Xia felt her heart sinking at her words. She naturally knew who this “he” in Niu Niu’s mouth was. She was abandoned by her brother, because her brother wanted to be immortal and thought of her as a burden. So she wanted to become an immortal and see how great it was for a brother to abandon his sister?

She hesitated as stroked her head and said, “Niu Niu, you have to be sure. Cultivating to be an immortal is a very long term thing. If you really want to cultivate, you have to enter an immortal sect, which may separate you from me.”

Niu Niu was silent for a moment before nodding heavily.

“All right, sister will accompany you!” Shi Xia firmly made her decision. Niu Niu was just abandoned by her scum brother, Xuan Lin. If she was abandoned by herself again, it may leave a big shadow on her young mind. Niu Niu, although small, was very mature. She understood her brother was abandoning her the first time. But not only did she cry, she was even able to firmly accept the situation. Her being able to hold back from breaking down was already considered a great effort. If she accompanied her until she was accepted as a disciple for a sect, she might feel slightly better.

Shi Xia accepted Niu Niu’s decision and began to inquire about the location of the selection test. She took Niu Niu and went directly to the apprentice acceptance point. Although she was concerned about her identity being exposed, there weren’t many people who had seen her. As long as she didn’t say her name, no one would recognise her as the Demon King’s sister, right?

Wrong. For the second time in her life Shi Xia found that people could be really unlucky if heaven wanted to. The unlucky people can die choking on water while drinking, have worms biting them while eating an apple, and not have enough tissue paper just when they were having constipation……

When Xuan Lin revealed her identity in front of the Royal Sound School cultivators, she was so angry that she felt like biting him like a rabid dog.

“That’s right, it’s her. I heard her say her name was Shi Xia before, and that little girl Niu Niu also called her Sister Xia. She must be the Demon King’s sister Shi Xia!” Xuan Lin’s voice boomed around the whole area, his face was full of the triumph of having succeeded in his treacherous plan.

People who were present on the scene started to pick up their weapons after his exclamation. Shi Xia really wanted to shoot Xuan Lin, this villain. He not only abandoned his own sister, but he was also so ungrateful and vicious that he wanted to take revenge on those who saved him before.
