Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 3

“Shut up!”

Luo Yunhuan’s voice trembled. She hated how the system exposed her innermost thoughts, but honestly, who wouldn’t feel flustered meeting a stunning beauty right after transmigrating into a novel?

Especially when the other party was a top-tier beauty.

After all, romance novels like this placed extreme importance on appearances.

[Alright, alright, I’ll shut up right away. But host, you need to step up your game!]

The system’s somewhat stiff laughter echoed in her mind. Though it was a robotic voice, Luo Yunhuan could detect a unique liveliness belonging to a soul.

The frost on her hair gradually dissipated, replaced by rising steam. As the frost flowers vanished, warmth spread through her.

Luo Yunhuan’s nose was filled with that subtle fragrance, the scent from Qin Yiqiu, reminiscent of elegant and serene magnolia blossoms. So, Qin Yiqiu was warming her ice-cold body.

“Is this person really cultivating the Path of Emotionlessness?”

Luo Yunhuan fell into momentary doubt.

This was her inner voice, audible only to the system, which promptly responded.

[Of course, it’s absolutely true.]

[But the Path of Emotionlessness isn’t that one-dimensional. It means having no emotional attachments, not being indifferent to everything.]

The definitions in every novel differed. When Qin Yiqiu was created, it might have just been for the dynamics between the female lead and supporting characters, but this was a complete world.

For it to function properly, it couldn’t rely solely on the author’s writing skills. That was why their system alliance, dedicated to protecting supporting characters, was born.

Their purpose was to maintain this delicate balance, preventing overly marginalized supporting characters from causing the entire world’s operation to fail.

“Does it still hurt?”

A gentle voice sounded by her ear, devoid of emotion, like a cool drop of ice water landing on the back of her hand on a summer day.

Luo Yunhuan froze for a moment, her mind instantly flooded with a jumble of chaotic thoughts. She immediately shook her head.

No, how could she be so pathetic? She hadn’t even begun to conquer her target, yet she was being counter-conquered. This wouldn’t do!

“It doesn’t hurt much.”

As Luo Yunhuan said this, her pearly white teeth nearly bit through her pink lips, making her words incredibly unconvincing.

“That’s good.”

Although Qin Yiqiu noticed this detail, she didn’t care. There was no need for her to exert herself over an outer sect female disciple.

“My cultivation technique is extremely Yin and cold, which can cause physical weakness. Rest well after you return.”

Qin Yiqiu got off the bed, retrieved a couple of bottles of pills from her storage ring, and handed them to Luo Yunhuan.

“Someone in the sect maliciously used an Aphrodisiac Pill on you. This is my oversight. Tomorrow, I will give you a proper resolution.”

Luo Yunhuan had a feeling that the head senior sister was apologizing to her. However, she guessed that the original owner of this body was likely very fragile, but she wasn’t. If someone had framed her, they should face punishment.

“Thank you, Head Senior Sister, for clearing my name.”

Thinking this, Luo Yunhuan also jumped off the bed and performed a respectful bow, though she wasn’t quite sure about the etiquette in the cultivation world.

But kneeling on both knees was definitely correct whether in reality or in novels, it was the highest form of respect, demonstrating her utmost sincerity.

“There’s no need for this.”

Sure enough, Qin Yiqiu showed a kindly expression, reminiscent of Liu Bei, and reached out to help Luo Yunhuan stand up.

“You may go back now.”

Luo Yunhuan felt a bit reluctant to leave such a great beauty behind, but if she stayed any longer, she’d probably be mistaken for some kind of creep. So, she decided it was best to leave decisively.

When she stepped out of the cave, her eyes met a picturesque landscape of pine trees. Luo Yunhuan had been worried about not knowing the way, but the system thoughtfully popped up a navigation guide.

It even marked where to turn at intersections and where there were steps.

It was practically the autonomous driving feature of the system world. Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but quietly praise it in her heart now this was high technology.

[Host, because headquarters previously allowed many strategists to drag out their time, it often led to situations where strategists reached the end of their lifespans without successfully winning over their targets. Starting today, headquarters will implement new guidelines.]

Luo Yunhuan: !

She was listening so intently to the system that she nearly missed a step and tumbled down the hillside.

“What did you say?”

[What I mean is, if you fail to increase the target’s affection value by even one point within three days, you will be penalized with a reduction in lifespan.]

The system’s punishment wasn’t electric shock.

Wait, why was that her focus?

The real focus should be on how unlucky she was running into a reform on her very first day on the job.

“Whatever, this is a cultivation world. Even if my lifespan gets reduced, it’s not a big deal.”

Luo Yunhuan’s tone carried a hint of wanting to slack off. The system remained silent. Just as she was feeling pleased about having out-argued the system, the navigation panel in front of her transformed, suddenly switching to her attribute panel.

When she saw the four spiritual roots listed under her attributes, Luo Yunhuan completely lost her composure.

Her foot slipped, and she fell flat on her back, looking nothing like a graceful young lady. Her black hair was smeared with yellow dirt, making her exceptionally disheveled.

Her eyelashes fluttered as she shakily glanced at the talent column.

[Extremely Poor]

“God, just kill me now!”First, she had to strategize against someone on the path of emotionless cultivation, and now she had such trash talent.” If she couldn’t break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, the possibility of reaching a lifespan of 500 years was practically zero.

In other words, the threat of lifespan reduction was very real for her.

“System, if I fail the strategy, can I still go back?”

Luo Yunhuan tentatively asked. After a long silence, the system finally responded.

[Host, how could failures possibly receive such a good reward? If you succeed in your strategy, I might consider sending you back. But if you fail, your soul will remain in this world, and I won’t intervene further.]

How ruthless.

Luo Yunhuan sighed.

“Fine, fine, I’ll just strategize against Qin Yiqiu.”

As she straightened her clothes, stained with mud, she couldn’t help but think to herself, who would end up at a disadvantage was still up for debate.

With Qin Yiqiu’s stunning looks, just one kiss would probably give her beautiful dreams for three days.

Of course, that was assuming she didn’t freeze to death first.

Seeing that the host was finally motivated, the system felt quite pleased.

[Considering that headquarters suddenly increased the difficulty, the system has been allocated a newbie gift pack. Please accept it.]

Hearing this, a large red gift box appeared before Luo Yunhuan’s eyes. She reached out and clicked to open it. A yellow ribbon slowly drifted down as the box lid lifted.

Inside was a stack of spirit stones, clearly labeled as 500 medium-grade spirit stones.

Luo Yunhuan was pleasantly surprised. It seemed the system wasn’t entirely useless after all, at least it had given her some rewards.

So, she decisively took out the storage pouch.

The original owner’s storage pouch was quite worn-out and even had a patch on it.

Luo Yunhuan was a bit speechless, but using such a shabby pouch to store so many spirit stones actually felt reassuring, as no one would be tempted to covet it.

After placing the spirit stones inside, Luo Yunhuan instantly felt her purse swell.

However, suddenly becoming wealthy might arouse suspicion, so she had to be cautious when using the spirit stones.
