Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 12

The saying, “To win someone’s heart, you must first win their stomach,” is considered a classic strategy in the art of pursuit in the real world.

Luo Yunhuan recalled how her senior sister had gifted her such delicious pastries. If she were to return the favor with some pastries of her own, wouldn’t their relationship gradually grow closer through this exchange of courtesy?

Thinking this, Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but inwardly praise herself: “I truly am a genius!”

She was the type to act immediately, not one to procrastinate. Besides, she probably didn’t have much time to waste. If she delayed taking action for too long, the system would assign her a punishment task.

“Hmm. System Bro, do we have any gourmet recipes?” Luo Yunhuan asked somewhat sheepishly. Though she knew how to cook, she had to admit that whatever she whipped up casually couldn’t compare to following a proper recipe.

The system fell silent for a moment, likely pondering why Luo Yunhuan needed gourmet recipes.

Soon, it finished its deliberation.

[Host, are you planning to use gourmet recipes to pursue Qin Yiqiu?]

[This system would like to emphasize: You can check the target’s detailed profile to see what she likes. It would be disastrous if you carefully prepared a dish she dislikes.]

Luo Yunhuan slapped her forehead. “Oh, right! Why didn’t I think of that?”

It seemed the system wasn’t entirely useless after all it could actually provide helpful advice. It was much better than those deceptive systems in some novels that only knew how to push people to pursue their targets.

Luo Yunhuan opened Qin Yiqiu’s detailed profile.

Her eyes scanned the “Likes” section.

Likes: Green tea.

Of course. As a Golden Core cultivator, she had already learned to sustain herself without food. Her appetite would gradually diminish over time.

Especially for a senior sister cultivating the Path of Emotionlessness she probably had no particular fondness for food.

Luo Yunhuan felt relieved that she had checked the profile in advance. Otherwise, all her preparations would have been in vain.

So she likes tea leaves. It seemed she needed to find a way to prepare a suitable gift.

Making tea leaves by hand would be quite troublesome, but if she didn’t do it herself, it probably wouldn’t convey sincerity.

Luo Yunhuan stared at her fingers, hesitating. If she were to process the tea leaves herself, how would it be any different from a monkey doing it? She’d only end up ruining good tea leaves.

Why not pick the leaves herself and then pay someone to process them?

Coincidentally, she had obtained five hundred spirit stones from the novice gift pack just the thing to put to use.

Having settled on this plan, Luo Yunhuan asked the system for a map, refreshing the locations where top-quality wild tea leaves could be found.

She hadn’t expected the system to have such a function. It was incredibly useful.

Luo Yunhuan examined the marked locations on the map all within the mountain ranges under the sect’s jurisdiction, relatively safe and free of high-level demonic beasts.

All she needed was to bring along a demon-repelling sachet or prepare a few talismans to escape immediately if she encountered danger.

Luo Yunhuan went to the sect’s market to purchase a few Earth Escape talismans and also bought a new set of clothes before heading toward the mountains.

The sect kept many immortal cranes, and by purchasing some crane-feeding pellets, one could ride them.

For most of the journey, Luo Yunhuan sat on the back of a crane, watching as mountains, rivers, and seas shrank into tiny patches below.

The breeze brushed past her eyes, and the clouds seemed close enough to touch. Though it wasn’t as thrilling as sword flight, riding a crane was undoubtedly an experience worth having.

But these damned fat cranes, with their glossy feathers, had only flown two li before refusing to go any further.

Luo Yunhuan had no choice but to buy more elixirs to feed the cranes and urge them to continue flying forward.

In this way, two large bags of crane feed were completely depleted, but she finally reached her desired destination.

As her feet touched the ground, Luo Yunhuan couldn’t deny her fear of heights her legs still felt weak. Leaning against the trunk of a pine tree to steady herself, she took a moment to catch her breath.

The rough, peeling bark of the pine tree pricked her palm, a constant reminder that she was now in a genuine world of immortal cultivation.

The wild tea plants grew vigorously, their trunks covered in moss and mushrooms.

“Could there be tea tree mushrooms here?”

Luo Yunhuan pushed aside the weeds and brought out the bamboo basket she had prepared. After a morning of picking, she looked at the full basket and breathed a sigh of relief this should be enough.

But despite harvesting so many tea plants, she hadn’t spotted a single tea tree mushroom.

With her tasks completed, Luo Yunhuan prepared to descend the mountain.

In the distance, she vaguely noticed two figures. Perhaps they were also here to hunt demonic beasts or gather spiritual herbs. Luo Yunhuan paid them no mind, though she felt a twinge of envy at their ability to wield flying swords. If she ever reached the Foundation Establishment stage, she would rush to the first sword shop and buy herself a gleaming blade.

Unexpectedly, the two figures headed straight toward her. Luo Yunhuan had taken only two steps when they flashed before her eyes.

Su Jue leaped down from his flying sword, his gaze fixed intently on Luo Yunhuan. He scrutinized her from head to toe, unable to suppress his inner astonishment.

This woman did possess a certain charm.

From her brows to her figure, there was a hint of allure and delicacy. But to think she could seduce the senior sister with just that? How pathetic.

Back in the day, Qin Yiqiu had infiltrated a den of spider demons alone, disguised as a male cultivator, to eradicate evil. Even those spider demons, skilled in seductive arts, had failed to completely bewitch Qin Yiqiu. How could she be tempted by someone like this?

“Greetings, Senior Brother, Senior Sister.”

Luo Yunhuan didn’t understand why these two were staring at her so intently, but out of respect for sect rules, she bowed slightly.

[Oh no, Host. These two are the male lead and the female supporting character. They’re tough to handle.]

The system’s voice echoed in her ear. If they were just passersby, it wouldn’t have said a word, but with the male lead appearing, things had become complicated.

After all, in a way, winning over the villain meant opposing the male and female leads.

Sooner or later, they would inevitably become enemies.

What? The male lead?

Luo Yunhuan’s pupils dilated. In the original story, the male lead was far from a good person he was cunning and deceitful, having tricked the female lead into his grasp from the very beginning.

While such a character would be utterly detestable in the real world, in a novel, it added a thrilling sense of novelty that kept readers hooked.

Stumbling backward a few steps, Luo Yunhuan felt as though she had encountered a ferocious tiger on the mountain.

“So it’s you the one who bewitched our senior sister.”

Su Jue curled his lips into a smile, a perfect reflection of his master’s cunning grin.

The long sword was drawn, its tip pressed directly against Luo Yunhuan’s throat.

Su Jue’s veins bulged on the back of his hand, blood trickling down the blade.

“What a pity. Such petty tricks can’t deceive us.”

“Whoever dares to disturb the Senior Sister’s heart.”

Su Jue’s tone was light, yet carried a threat as potent as a scorpion’s venom seeping into one’s heart, slowing the very beat of life.

“Shall die!”
