Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 26

The Blushing Eldest Senior Sister

Qin Yiqiu approached the bookshelf, her fingertips brushing over the ancient, weathered wooden frame. She took a deep breath, filling her nostrils with the rich scent of ink and old paper, before finally mustering the courage to randomly select a book.

Her trembling fingers opened to the first page. It was blank. Only after flipping two more pages did, she find delicate calligraphy written in the “hairpin flower” style.

The content roughly described a plot: a rogue cultivator practicing deep in the mountains at night encounters a soul-seducing spider demon.

Qin Yiqiu was an earnest person, meticulous in everything she did, even when reading such indecent literature. She read every word carefully, then sat cross-legged. Today, she wore a dark green robe, its hem pooling on the floor, making her skin appear even paler. As she read the story, a blush crept from her neck all the way to her cheeks.

The book described how the spider demon used every trick to break the woman’s inhibitions, revealing her black dress. Jade-like skin was exposed under the moonlight, as if emitting a faint glow.

Her fingertips turned the page, and Qin Yiqiu’s breathing grew more rapid. What appeared before her was not text, but an illustration.

In the world of cultivation, illustrations often moved after all, with magic at their disposal, failing to achieve such effects would be rather pathetic. All it took was infusing the colored ink with a bit of spiritual power and magic. Though a small trick, it multiplied the book’s price, making such illustrated volumes the mainstream in the cultivation realm.

In the image, the woman transformed by the spider demon had her black dress draped around her waist, her alluring figure fully revealed. The person before her appeared just as flustered as Qin Yiqiu felt.

The spider demon’s fingertips brushed past the female cultivator’s ear, painting a scene of springtime allure.

As Qin Yiqiu read, strands of her hair fell over her ears. She tucked them back and continued reading intently, but the more she read, the redder her face became.

So this is how it is?

She stared blankly at her own slender, jade-like fingers.

Closing her eyes, she envisioned her junior sister’s lips.

Qin Yiqiu had accidentally touched Luo Yunhuan’s soft, delicate lips a few times, and the sensation had lingered in her memory. She had suppressed it repeatedly, but now, reading this book, the memories flooded back.

The touch seemed to still linger on her fingertips.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse.

Qin Yiqiu stayed in the underground library for a long time, only emerging when the sky began to lighten at dawn. Her legs felt weak, and her usual icy, unapproachable aura had softened slightly.

After leaving, she shut herself in her room, once again trapped in a dilemma.

Should she really do this?

To deceive her junior sister’s feelings and take her innocence, all to overcome some so-called “tribulation of love”?

At this stage, every step Qin Yiqiu took felt arduous. When she first began practicing the Heartless Art, the opening page had stated: “Of all things in the world, only the word ‘love’ is the hardest to transcend.”

No matter what form of affection it was, it had to be severed to achieve the supreme path.

Initially, Qin Yiqiu hadn’t understood, but only now did she grasp the meaning of “love is hard to transcend.”

Since their last parting, Qin Yiqiu had rarely appeared. No matter how carefree Luo Yunhuan was, she couldn’t bring herself to disturb her eldest senior sister’s cultivation and training.

So she paced around the room out of sheer boredom, having nearly mastered the technique to expel the cold toxin.

Maybe she could use returning the book as an excuse to reconnect with the senior sister.

Just as she was thinking this, Luo Yunhuan suddenly remembered she had one chance to enter someone’s dream.

Her spirits lifted at once.

She first checked with the system to confirm that Qin Yiqiu wasn’t meditating she seemed to be just spacing out and only then did Luo Yunhuan breathe a sigh of relief.

If she tried her seduction tactics while the other was deep in meditation, Qin Yiqiu would surely suffer a qi deviation.

Well, she decided: today, she would enter the senior sister’s dream. As for returning the book, she could do that tomorrow!

Luo Yunhuan solidified her decision in her heart.

But entering the dream would have to wait until nightfall, since normal people don’t just slip into dreams for no reason during the day. Thinking she had nothing else to do anyway,

she prepared to go out and gather some fresh flowers.

When she first arrived, the senior sister’s courtyard had been overgrown with nothing but weeds and a few sparse spirit herbs. But under Luo Yunhuan’s skillful hands,

it had burst forth with vibrant life,

rivaling even the gardens within the sect.

No sooner had she stepped out with her basket on her back than she bumped right into someone. The person wore a golden robe so dazzling in the sunlight it hurt the eyes.

“What do you want?”

Luo Yunhuan immediately recognized him as Shen Anshou and instantly grew wary.

“I don’t want anything, but I came specifically to see you today.”

Shen Anshou held a jade-bone fan, his entire being exuding an overwhelming air of nobility. The man might not have much else, but his family owned over a dozen spirit stone mines.

“Luo Yunhuan, I already know that Senior Sister has chosen you to help her overcome her love tribulation.”

Shen Anshou blinked.

“Here are a thousand top-grade spirit stones.”

He handed over a heavy storage pouch.

“Senior Sister picked you surely because you’re so unnoticeable just an outer sect disciple with passable looks. But, ”

“I’d like you to give this opportunity to me.”

Luo Yunhuan:

Could this guy even speak? Why were his words so grating?

If she weren’t considering the fact that she couldn’t beat him in a fight, Luo Yunhuan would have rolled her eyes right then and there.

“Shen Anshou, what makes you so confident that even if I gave you this chance, Senior Sister would choose you?”

Luo Yunhuan’s light, airy tone was like the sharpest dagger, striking right at the heart.

“I’m much better-looking than you!”

“Senior Sister… she just hasn’t realized my merits yet.”

The wealthy young master in front of her stumbled over his words.

Luo Yunhuan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him further. Though she was sorely tempted by the thousand top-grade spirit stones, compared to Qin Yiqiu, they were nothing.

“Senior Sister will never realize your merits, because she has no interest in you.”

Luo Yunhuan let out a teasing laugh as she brushed past Shen Anshou, deliberately stomping hard on the tip of his foot. The cloud-patterned boots embroidered with golden thread were instantly smeared with black mud from the garden.

“And you don’t think having a few lousy spirit stones makes you special. Let me tell you, having money isn’t anything to boast about. You’d be better off spending that time cultivating!”

Only now could Luo Yunhuan finally say to these obnoxious rich people that having money wasn’t anything remarkable.

Because this wasn’t the real world this was the world of cultivation.

Although wealth can help you climb the steps temporarily, true enlightenment and immortality require talent and sweat.

Luo Yunhuan completely ignored the wealthy young man before her and descended the mountain with light, cheerful steps.

You there!
Go be the supporting character for the female lead instead.
Qin Yiqiu can only be mine!

Once I finish gathering and planting these flowers today, I can slip into the senior sister’s dreams tonight to charm her.

Luo Yunhuan felt immensely excited,
even the air seemed fresher.
