Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 14

By the time the two finished picking tea leaves, it was already evening. Since Qin Yiqiu was heading back to her courtyard anyway, she decided to bring Luoyun Huan along.

She summoned her long-unused flying sword. Ever since breaking through to the Golden Core realm, she had mostly relied on wind-riding for flight, rarely using a flying sword.

This sword was rather plain just a simple iron blade. While many people’s flying swords were ornate and flashy, once one’s cultivation reached a certain level, even a tree branch could be used to fly; there was no need for specially crafted flying sword treasures.

“It’s troublesome to descend the mountain now, and the forest becomes especially dangerous at night. I’ll take you down.”

After saying this, Qin Yiqiu stepped onto her flying sword. She extended her slender hand, though her palm wasn’t particularly fair or delicate. Clearly visible calluses marked the base of her fingers, the tips, the pads, her palm, and below her thumb.

These were sword calluses.

As if guided by some unseen force, Luoyun Huan reached out and placed her hand in Qin Yiqiu’s palm. Her own hand wasn’t exactly delicate either as an outer sect disciple, she had done her share of rough work.

“Are you steady?”

Qin Yiqiu asked patiently, only releasing her hand after hearing a soft “Mm” from behind her.

“Hold onto my waist. You’re only at the Qi Refining stage and can’t control a sword to fly yet it’s easy to fall.”

When Luoyun Huan heard the senior sister’s words, her heart skipped a beat, but then she couldn’t help the corners of her mouth lifting. This was an unexpected opportunity.

She reached out, hesitating at first, but once she made up her mind, she didn’t hesitate any longer and wrapped her arms firmly around Qin Yiqiu’s waist.

The senior sister’s waist was as slender as she had imagined, with a perfect curve like a mermaid’s. As her palms pressed against it, she could feel the curve of the hips and the taut lines of muscle.

As soon as Luoyun Huan steadied her grip, a rush of air swept over her. Qin Yiqiu’s sword control was incredibly fast, and Luoyun Huan could barely see anything clearly.

Suppressing her fear of heights, she clung tightly to Qin Yiqiu, pressing the tip of her nose against the back of the other’s neck.

Perhaps it was because they were flying so high and so fast?

Qin Yiqiu naturally noticed the slight trembling and fear in the person behind her, and her attention drifted slightly to the warmth of the breath brushing against her neck.

For someone like her, who was naturally cold-bodied, this warmth felt even more pronounced.

It was like a feather tickling her heart.

The tip of the sword wavered, and Qin Yiqiu quickly realized she had veered off course. She swiftly reined in her wandering thoughts and flew toward her main peak.

But how could she hide this from the system?

The system didn’t rush to report the 0.1 increase in affection points because speaking up now would ruin the ambiguous atmosphere.

It was an extremely considerate system and would never do something so rude.

At first, Luoyun Huan could feel the suffocating sensation of rushing through the air at high speed, but after flying for a while, that feeling faded.

She half-opened her eyes, only able to feel the tickling sensation of the senior sister’s dark hair brushing against the tip of her nose. A faint, elegant fragrance drifted from the strands, like a light sandalwood scent.

Mixed with cypress leaves.

Even though this fragrance seemed like something only old-fashioned, stern scholars from ancient times would use, on the senior sister, it carried the aura of an aloof and elegant beauty.

Unable to resist, Luoyun Huan pressed her cheek against it.

At that moment, the flying sword completely lost control, tumbling forward headfirst. Luo Yunhuan was so startled that she held the person even tighter.

“What’s wrong?”

Her voice was filled with urgency and fear.

“Nothing, you’re just holding me too tightly.”

Qin Yiqiu told the truth, feeling a bit embarrassed. She had thought that her days of rigorous training would make her indifferent to others’ touch, but now she still couldn’t help feeling some emotional fluctuations.

“Ah, Senior Sister, I didn’t mean to!”

Luo Yunhuan hurriedly let go, her heart filled with regret.

“It’s fine.”

Qin Yiqiu erected a spiritual energy barrier in front of herself to block the strong wind caused by their rapid flight.

She increased her speed a little more and arrived at the main peak.

Luo Yunhuan was dropped off, and Qin Yiqiu hastily made an excuse to leave. All Luo Yunhuan could see was her retreating back.

“How strange. I’m not ugly, so why did Senior Sister run away so quickly?”

Luo Yunhuan scratched her cheek in confusion.

[Haha, of course, it’s because the conquest points increased.]

Hearing the system’s words, Luo Yunhuan realized her conquest points had risen by 0.1. Though it wasn’t much, it was still progress.

Could it be because of the waist-hugging on the flying sword earlier?

Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. It seemed physical contact was effective, but it had to be unintentional, not deliberate.

That’s really difficult.

Luo Yunhuan patted her head in frustration.

Looking at the fresh tea leaves, she immediately decided to find someone to process them for her.

The Cloud Sword Mountain Sect was a major sect, and tea leaves were processed by specialized personnel; otherwise, the flavor wouldn’t be so exquisite.

Generally, this task was handled by outer disciples or servants, but if one could build a reputation for excellent tea processing, they could be regarded as a “Tea Processing Immortal.”

So, the status was still respectable.

With the system, Luo Yunhuan found it relatively easy to investigate or inquire about someone.

She had asked the system if there was something like a shop, as she had read too many novels and couldn’t help but hope. If she couldn’t defeat these cultivators in a fight later, she could at least use a rocket launcher to blast a few Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But she shouldn’t even think about fighting Golden Core cultivators.

According to the cultivation world’s settings, even if hit by a blast, a Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t die immediately.

Arriving at the area where the outer disciples lived, Luo Yunhuan smelled the aroma of tea from afar and went straight to the person processing the tea leaves.

She paid them a few spirit stones and asked them to hurry with the task.

Then, Luo Yunhuan walked back with light and cheerful steps.

[Ahem… Host, even if you gift these self-picked tea leaves, what if the conquest target doesn’t like them that much? Wouldn’t all your efforts these days go to waste?]

Hearing the system’s words, Luo Yunhuan began to hesitate. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with slowly pursuing the senior sister, but the damn system mission had a time limit.

“Are you saying that headquarters issued a new target?”

[Ah, Host, you’re so clever. You figured it out.]

The system felt even more awkward and had no choice but to show Luo Yunhuan the system mission herself.

A pop-up window appeared before her eyes.

[Please achieve 3 conquest points within seven days. If you fail, your lifespan will be reduced by five years.]

Luo Yunhuan:

This is just a blatant threat! Do they even have any shame?

But now, she was still 0.9 points short on the conquest meter.

If this were any other novel no, if this were any other conquest target Luo Yunhuan would probably have progressed faster than this.

Yet, she genuinely liked the senior sister, which was why she found herself in this dilemma.

[Host, I don’t think you need to worry too much. Didn’t you obtain the Tears of the Succubus? Just a single drop would make the conquest target’s heart flutter for you.]
