Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 31

Luo Yunhuan fled a great distance in one breath. Since she was underground and couldn’t discern her exact location, although she could use the system to check the map, in her haste, she only managed to get a rough idea of her position.

By the time the effects of the Earth Escape Talisman wore off, Luo Yunhuan had emerged from the ground. The dresses the two of them wore were of a relatively high grade and wouldn’t be stained by the dirty mud.

But their faces and exposed skin weren’t so fortunate.

Leaning against a large tree, Luo Yunhuan took deep, gasping breaths of fresh air there hadn’t been enough oxygen underground for her to breathe properly.

Especially since they occasionally broke through the homes of moles and rats.

Something sticky seemed to be clinging to her ear. Luo Yunhuan raised her hand to flick it away and discovered it was a large earthworm!

Suppressing the urge to scream rising in her throat, Luo Yunhuan reminded herself that the world of cultivation definitely wasn’t as idyllic as the novels made it out to be.

Escaping via earth escape was just plain embarrassing.

“I never expected you, Junior Sister, to be so deeply hidden and unfathomable, actually possessing a high-grade Earth Escape Talisman.”

Qin Yiqiu had already started tidying her hair. She picked off the small earthworms tangled in her strands and placed them on the soft soil.

The earthworms wriggled their dark red bodies and began burrowing downward.

“This is my lifesaving treasure.”

Luo Yunhuan smiled proudly.

Then she noticed that there were still a few patches of mud on Qin Yiqiu’s nose and cheeks that hadn’t been wiped clean, so she rummaged through her storage pouch.

She found a silk handkerchief.

People in ancient times liked to use handkerchiefs for everything for instance, if they pinched a piece of pastry and their fingers got dusty with crumbs, they would use a silk handkerchief to wipe them.

As a modern person, Luo Yunhuan was more accustomed to tissues and wet wipes, but she had still bought over ten handkerchiefs to have on hand.

Wrapping her fingers around the handkerchief, Luo Yunhuan suddenly moved closer, catching Qin Yiqiu off guard. But Qin Yiqiu didn’t pull away; emotions she couldn’t quite decipher swirled in her eyes.

The soft silk handkerchief wiped away the mud on her cheeks.

The atmosphere between the two grew increasingly ambiguous.

Looking at her senior sister’s handsome face, Luo Yunhuan felt an inexplicable urge to be frivolous, but she knew this wasn’t a dream.

She couldn’t let herself do whatever she wanted.

So just as she was about to pull her hand back, the other person grasped her wrist.

“If you want to bathe in the future, don’t go to the lotus pond. Isn’t there a spirit spring behind my courtyard?”

Although she was reluctant to admit it, at this moment, Qin Yiqiu truly felt desire. Her cool fingertips unconsciously stroked Luo Yunhuan’s delicate wrist.

She always remembered that night.

That Luo Yunhuan in the cave, wearing a light, breathable black dress.

Utterly alluring.

“But that’s where you, Senior Sister, meditate and cultivate.”

Luo Yunhuan’s words were somewhat hesitant, and her earlobes began to turn pink, as if she felt that actually going to the spirit spring would be overstepping boundaries.

“It’s fine.”

Qin Yiqiu closed her eyes, letting their foreheads touch.

“I’m partial to you.”

Yes… If she truly wanted to overcome the tribulation of love in the future, there would undoubtedly be countless opportunities to hurt Luo Yunhuan. Qin Yiqiu didn’t want that, but there was nothing she could do about it.

So for now, she could only offer what benefits she was able to provide.

The two of them were now free of mud and dirt. Luo Yunhuan clung boldly to Qin Yiqiu, thinking to herself, Let’s rest for a while.

Later, I’ll go report that toad.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

Events always shifted faster than one could anticipate.

When Qin Wangyu received his disciple’s message, he rushed to the scene almost immediately. But by the time he arrived, the place was in complete disarray.

Only a golden toad remained, digging at a hole in the ground.

“Golden Toad, where is my disciple?”

Qin Wangyu’s strength and cultivation were on par with the toad’s, but the latter was clearly the weakest and laziest among the Ancestor’s many pets.

Over the years, it had gained cultivation but learned none of the powerful skills a demon beast should possess.

If not for its treasure-gathering ability, Qin Wangyu would have long driven this freeloading toad out, preventing it from absorbing the rich spiritual energy of the Cloud Sword Mountain Sect day after day.

“I don’t know.”

“That girl and your disciple escaped underground, and they even injured me.”

The Golden Toad shifted its body, revealing the pitted, bloody marks on its back.

They were wounds inflicted by Qin Yiqiu’s Shattered Ice Sword Array. Though not deep, considering the Golden Toad’s divine transformation-level cultivation, it was clear that Qin Yiqiu’s power was truly profound.

Her ability to master and execute the Heartless Technique to its peak was a talent even the Ancestor had never possessed.

“Serves you right for getting beaten by Yiqiu.”

Qin Wangyu stroked his chin, his tone carrying faint approval. This angered the Golden Toad, who stuck out its red tongue, intending to teach this arrogant man a lesson.

Back when this guy first arrived at the sect, running around the mountains naked, the toad had seen it all. How dare he show such disrespect to a senior demon cultivator now!

Just as it was about to strike with its tongue, someone grabbed it.

“In the past, you killed disciples who mistakenly entered the Lotus Pond, and successive sect leaders cleaned up your mess. But if you try that again under my watch.”

“I won’t mind skinning you, tearing out your tendons, and keeping your demon core for treasure gathering.”

Qin Wangyu’s eyes gleamed with ferocity. The Cloud Sword Mountain Sect was indeed the leading orthodox sect, but even the most powerful righteous sects had unspeakable secrets and filth within.

The Golden Toad possessed unparalleled treasure-gathering abilities and was rumored to have the bloodline of a divine beast from the upper realm one of the treasures left behind by the Ancestor.

Thanks to the Golden Toad, the Cloud Sword Mountain Sect’s business ventures grew stronger, and their mineral resources never ran dry.

That was why they had turned a blind eye to its habit of devouring disciples.

But Qin Wangyu was not like the merciful leaders of the past.

The Golden Toad’s tongue felt as if it were about to be torn off.

The aura emanating from Qin Wangyu frightened it this was a fiercer, more threatening gaze than even its master’s.

“The Cloud Sword Mountain Sect doesn’t need a man-eating monster. Understand?”

The founding ancestor had ascended through the Heartless Path, which emphasized inner detachment and compassion for all beings.

If they tolerated the Golden Toad’s crimes for the sake of wealth, it would betray the very principles and wishes upon which the sect was founded.

“However, that female disciple you mentioned did trespass into the Lotus Pond without permission. She does deserve some punishment.”

Qin Wangyu raised her hand to calculate the precise positions of the two, seemingly pinpointing their location in an instant, then vanished in a flash of light.

Only the golden toad remained, stretching out its four claws to rub its sore, pinched tongue.

What rotten luck!

Not only had it lost the chance to devour the fragrant beauty, but it was also deprived of sneaking snacks from the disciples.

It seemed the only option left was to find a way to feast on some fish demons.

The golden toad sank back to the bottom of the lake.

Meanwhile, Luo Yunhuan remained unaware that the elder sister’s family member was rushing over at breakneck speed.

She reveled in their extremely close proximity, actively tilting her head up until her scorching lips brushed lightly against Qin Yiqiu’s nose, sending Qin Yiqiu’s heart into turmoil. Her fingers clenched tightly around the sleeves of her robe.

“Well then, thank you, Big ”

Before Luo Yunhuan could finish her sentence, a sudden cough echoed from nearby.

Luo Yunhuan sprang back as if electrocuted, lifting her gaze to the distant figure only to find Qin Wangyu standing there with tightly pressed lips.

Oh no, This was going to be unbearably awkward!
