Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 448: If We Cannot Share a Bed in Life, We Shall Share a Grave in Death

In the secret chamber of the Joyful Union Sect.

In a room filled with swirling spiritual energy, two stunningly beautiful women sat cross-legged facing each other, their hands pressed together like mirror images.

Both women were completely undressed, sitting with their “gates” wide open. If Lin Fengmian had seen this, he would surely have quipped about how “perfectly matched” they were.

At this moment, the two beauties moved in unison, their long eyelashes fluttering as they slowly opened their eyes.

“Sister, how are you feeling?” Shangguan Yu asked nervously.

“Yu’er, I’m fine now. The rest will just need some time to recover,” Shangguan Qiong replied with a gentle smile.

Over the past few days, the death soul curse within her body had been completely purged through their combined efforts.

Shangguan Yu nodded and then tentatively asked, “Sister, what do we do now?”

Shangguan Qiong suddenly remembered that the cheeky young man was supposed to be dead, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

“What else can we do? In a little over half a month, it will be time for the meeting with Jun Wuxie. I will go and fulfill the agreement.”

Her gaze softened as she looked at Shangguan Yu, reaching out to stroke her cheek gently. “Yu’er, this is not the time to be stubborn.”

Shangguan Yu tilted her head, nuzzling against her sister’s hand and murmured, “Sister, don’t worry. I won’t stop you.”

Shangguan Qiong looked at her in surprise, not understanding why her sister had suddenly become so reasonable.

Feeling relieved by her sister’s newfound maturity, she smiled warmly. “It’s good that you think like this. I-“

“Sister, it’s time for us to go pick up that guy,” Shangguan Yu interrupted with a smile.

“What?”

Shangguan Qiong was stunned, unable to process what she had just heard.

“I said, it’s time for us to go and get that Lin guy. Otherwise, he might really suffocate to death.”

Shangguan Yu stared intently at Shangguan Qiong, watching every expression on her face.

“Yu’er, are you saying that he’s not dead?” Shangguan Qiong asked, her voice filled with surprise.

Seeing the genuine joy on her sister’s face, Shangguan Yu couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy.

“Yes, he used some kind of secret technique to fake his death. He said he would revive in about ten days,” Shangguan Yu replied flatly.

Shangguan Qiong recalled the time on the airship when Lin Fengmian had faked his death and how she had slapped him in frustration.

Suddenly, everything made sense. No wonder that guy had been so stubborn about not giving in.

She let out a long sigh of relief and scolded, “So that’s what happened. Yu’er, why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Sister, are you really that happy that he’s not dead?” Shangguan Yu asked coldly.

Shangguan Qiong realized that her reaction might have been too obvious, but she naturally smiled and continued.

“Of course I’m happy. After all, I don’t have to offer myself to Jun Wuxie, and I can stay with you forever. Why wouldn’t I be happy?”

Shangguan Yu’s expression softened slightly, though she still looked skeptical. “Is that really what you think, sister?”

Shangguan Qiong chided her, “What else would it be? Yu’er, why did you hide this from me? You had me worried for so long.”

“I just wanted Junior Sister Zhao to back off. The fewer people who know about this, the better, don’t you think?” Shangguan Yu replied calmly.

Shangguan Qiong was speechless for a moment, but finally nodded. “That’s true. But aren’t you afraid that Junior Sister Zhao might have cremated him?”

Shangguan Yu replied nonchalantly, “It’s okay. I left a mark on him. If anyone tried to harm him, I would know.”

Shangguan Qiong urged, “Then let’s hurry. We have to sneak him back.”

Under the moonlight, the two followed the trail left by Shangguan Yu and arrived at the back mountain of Crimson Phoenix Peak.

There, a solitary tomb stood apart from the others, silently gazing in the direction of Jade Bamboo Peak.

In front of the grave was a simple stone tablet with the words “Tomb of Lin Fengmian”. At the bottom of the grave, the ashes of burnt paper money were still smoldering.

“Why was he buried before the seventh day?” Shangguan Yu wondered aloud.

With a wave of her hand, the earthen mound split open, revealing a chillingly large black coffin inside.

Shangguan Qiong stepped forward to open the coffin, but she was startled by what she saw.

Inside, besides the motionless Lin Fengmian, there was also an enchanting woman clinging to him like a ghost.

Shangguan Qiong’s expression turned strange, and she couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. “Junior Sister Zhao, what are you doing here?”

In the dead of night, it was fortunate that it was just the two of them. If it had been grave robbers, they would have been scared to death!

Zhao Ningzhi finally opened her eyes and looked at the two of them in confusion, then put on a look of utter despair.

“Senior Sisters, why did you come here? There’s no need to try and talk me out of it. My mind is made up!”

She clung to Lin Fengmian’s body and sobbed uncontrollably. “My dear Lin is dead, and I don’t want to live anymore. I want to follow him in death.”

Shangguan Qiong and Shangguan Yu exchanged confused glances, completely at a loss.

What on earth was going on?

“Junior sister, are you joking?” Shangguan Qiong asked in desperation.

“I’m not joking at all! Can’t you see that I have already made my decision? I will be buried with him!”

Zhao Ningzhi’s tears fell in large drops as she choked back sobs. “Elder sisters, don’t stop me. Please close the coffin lid. I want to be buried with my beloved Lin.”

“If we cannot share a bed in life, let us share a grave in death! My dear Lin, we will meet again in the next life!”

Seeing her so deeply emotional, the Shangguan Sisters were left utterly bewildered, unable to make sense of the situation.

Had they been in seclusion for a few days or a few years?

When had these two become so deeply devoted to each other, vowing to be together until death?

Zhao Ningzhi wept bitterly, her expression full of deep affection, as if she were truly ready to follow him in death.

It was enough to move anyone to tears, but soon the tone changed.

Zhao Ningzhi sobbed, “My dear Lin, although I love you deeply, I’m really afraid that you’re going to start to smell.”

“How about before you start to rot, we have one last intimate moment together?”

“If I drain you, you won’t smell anymore.”

Without waiting for a response, she began to strip off Lin Fengmian’s clothes.

Seeing this madwoman about to desecrate a corpse right in front of them, the two sisters quickly intervened.

“Junior Sister Zhao, stop this immediately!”

Zhao Ningzhi ignored them, stubbornly insisting, “No, I have to preserve him! If I do this, he won’t smell.”

Shangguan Qiong finally realized what had happened. This woman had clearly figured out that Lin Fengmian wasn’t dead and was just messing with them!

“Junior Sister Zhao, enough already. Stop pretending. He’s not really dead, okay?”

Zhao Ningzhi instantly made a dramatic change in expression and grinned mischievously. “Oh, so he’s not dead after all?”

“I haven’t slept well these past few days, worrying whether or not he’d open his eyes. It’s been nerve-wracking.”

Shangguan Yu hadn’t expected her to see through their ruse and coldly snorted. “You’re not as stupid as you look!”

“Thanks for the compliment, Senior Sister!”

Zhao Ningzhi wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and blinked playfully. “I almost fell for your trick, but luckily I’m smart.”

“Have you told anyone else about this?” Shangguan Yu asked irritably.

“I told Yunxi and Liu Mei. I couldn’t bear to keep it from them. I was afraid some stupid girl would do something drastic,” Zhao Ningzhi admitted, looking a bit guilty.

“Junior Sister Zhao, you’ve taken matters into your own hands again!” Shangguan Yu scolded.

“Senior sister, they will not interfere with your plans! I couldn’t bear to see them suffer,” Zhao Ningzhi sighed.

Shangguan Yu wanted to reprimand her further, but Shangguan Qiong stopped her.

“Yu’er, let it be. They deserve some hope too.”
