Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 22

Frost quickly formed on her long, slender eyelashes as Luo Yunhuan’s entire body trembled uncontrollably. What was the sect leader thinking? Without even explaining the mission, she had been thrown into this freezing ice cave.

Oh no!

Could it be to feed polar bears or something? Please, not that!

Fear gripped Luo Yunhuan’s heart.

She knew that her attempts to win over the senior sister would raise suspicions after all, Qin Yiqiu was the top prodigy of the Heartless Path in the sect.

But with the beginner’s protection period, she shouldn’t die, right?

Even if a polar bear showed up, she could just beat it up without hesitation. Luo Yunhuan hugged her arms tightly, shivering to generate some warmth.

Walking carefully on the slippery ice, she had to be extra cautious to avoid falling flat on her back or face-planting.

Struggling forward, Luo Yunhuan searched for the cave’s exit but soon found herself facing a large room instead.

The room was built entirely of ice bricks, with an ice bed at its center. Seated cross-legged on it was a slender figure a woman with delicate shoulders and snow-white skin visible at the nape of her neck.

Why did she look so familiar?

Luo Yunhuan’s heart skipped a beat. Who else could it be but the senior sister?

She hurried over, nearly slipping in her haste, and steadied herself by grabbing the edge of the ice bed.

“Senior Sister?”

Luo Yunhuan looked up and confirmed it was Qin Yiqiu. The woman trembled violently, blood trickling from the corner of her lips.

“Why are you here?”

Qin Yiqiu stared at her as if seeing a ghost, her ice-blue eyes filled with exhaustion.

The harder she tried to suppress her emotions, the more her desires intensified, fueling her risk of qi deviation.

Because her heart was unbalanced by love, the Heartless Technique could no longer function at its peak, rendering it almost useless.

“Get out!”

Qin Yiqiu’s voice, unusually sharp and tense, carried a rare note of reprimand. She didn’t want anyone to witness her in such a wretched state.

“Senior Sister, you’re bleeding! How can I leave?”

Luo Yunhuan held onto Qin Yiqiu firmly, completely forgetting that she had no idea how to find her way out.

Even if the senior sister ordered her to leave, she wouldn’t know which way to go.

“It’s fine. I can suppress it. You staying here only distracts me.”

Though she hadn’t meant to say those words, they slipped out. It was her own weakness and turmoil, yet she blamed her junior sister.

When had she become so petty?

“Alright, I’ll leave as soon as I help stabilize your condition.”

Luo Yunhuan didn’t understand why the senior sister was so eager to push her away. Perhaps she was afraid of losing control during her cultivation and harming her, especially since Luo Yunhuan was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Instinctively, Luo Yunhuan reached for her storage pouch but found no high-grade elixirs inside. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

If only she had bought a few bottles of premium pills in advance, she wouldn’t be empty-handed when her senior sister needed help.

“My medicine is in the storage ring.”

Qin Yiqiu had noticed her actions. She spoke slowly, resolving to hold on just a little longer.

Seeing the senior sister say this, Luo Yunhuan reached out her finger, her index finger tightly hooking onto the ring worn on the other’s middle finger. The ring was dreamlike, crafted from blue jade, resembling the color of a glacier, with a wisp of blue spiritual energy flowing within its crystalline clarity.

Her scorching fingertip pressed against the cool ring, searing the delicate skin between her fingers.

Qin Yiqiu took a few rapid breaths, suppressing the anxiety and excitement in her heart. She used her spiritual sense to unlock the restraint of the storage ring, allowing Luo Yunhuan’s spiritual sense to freely probe inside and retrieve the required healing pills.

The pills for qi deviation and meridian treatment were placed closely together, indicating that the senior sister had been troubled by these two ailments in recent days.

Luo Yunhuan retrieved them, hurriedly spreading open her palm and pouring the pills into it.

“Senior sister, open your mouth.”

Luo Yunhuan’s ears flushed red, whether from the cold or the close proximity between them, she couldn’t tell, but she felt shy.

Qin Yiqiu opened her mouth, the bloodstains at the corners of her lips trailing down her neck. Her appearance was like a vibrant rose that had been ravaged, a sight that stirred pity in anyone who saw it.

Her cool lips brushed against the scorching palm, swallowing the two pills together.

The churning sensation of blood in Qin Yiqiu’s heart subsided considerably, but she knew that if she didn’t make some decision, the suppressed inner demons and desires would once again corrode her heart.

This was the struggle of cultivation and meditation to overcome inner demons a constant battle against one’s own desires.

“That’s great, senior sister. I’m glad you’re alright.”

Seeing this, Luo Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave. Even if she couldn’t find her way, she couldn’t stay any longer and disrupt the senior sister’s cultivation.

After all, interrupting someone’s meditation was an annoying matter.

But as soon as she stood up, the hem of her skirt was grabbed.

To avoid exposing herself, Luo Yunhuan shyly covered the edge of her clothes.

“S-Senior sister?”

If it were anyone else, she would have kicked them in the face and shouted “pervert.”

“Junior sister, there’s something I’ve never told you, but today I want to say it because hiding it isn’t good.”

Breathing rapidly, Qin Yiqiu made this decision with great resolve. It was like dissecting the most wretched part of herself and laying it bare before the other.

“What is it?”

Luo Yunhuan blinked.

“Between you and me.”

Qin Yiqiu reached out and held the other’s little finger.

“Perhaps there are threads of affection entwined.”

“It’s unbelievable, isn’t it, that I would fall for you.”

Qin Yiqiu’s confession came so abruptly that Luo Yunhuan was stunned. What was going on?

The favorability was only 4.2!

“So, I want to ask you, junior sister, if you feel the same way about me. That way, I can determine if this is truly a love tribulation.”

If it weren’t a love tribulation, she could simply suppress it through forceful cultivation. But if it were that would be terrible.

“I don’t know.”

Luo Yunhuan averted her gaze.

“Then let’s test it.”

Qin Yiqiu leaned in closer.

“I’ll cover your eyes. If your heart races or your breathing becomes unsteady, it’s likely the case.”

Kissing someone you don’t love shouldn’t evoke such intense emotional fluctuations at most, you might just lose yourself in the moment.

Qin Yiqiu possessed the keen sensitivity to observe subtle changes in a person’s physical state.

Luo Yunhuan only had time to nod briefly before her eyes were covered, a cool palm pressing tightly against her eyelids.

Though the temperature was slightly cool, it wasn’t unpleasant in the slightest.

That subtle, elegant fragrance drew closer and closer indescribable, like a gentle breeze sweeping across a field of soft grass.

Qin Yiqiu leaned in for a kiss, bit by bit, as if conquering a city.

Her heart tightened almost instantly, accompanied by unsteady breaths and… a hint of surrender.

This was more than just a flutter it was pure adoration.

The system was too stunned to speak.

Yet, as it silently watched the continuously rising affection meter, it felt an overwhelming joy, as if a hundred fireworks had burst into bloom all at once.
