Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 50

But just like her own flying sword, Luo Yunhuan couldn’t openly give this item away at the moment. She had to find a way to pretend it was something she had stumbled upon by chance.

Otherwise, it would be utterly absurd for a Qi Refining stage disciple to possess a rare Heaven-grade cultivation technique in the cultivation world.

[Host, your favorability points have increased. After experiencing the Mystic Moon Illusion, the target’s reluctance to part with you has reached another level.]

[So, the favorability points have risen by 2. This truly is a blessing in disguise. You were so foresighted, if you hadn’t taken on this mission, the Mystic Moon might not have appeared at all.]

The system began happily flattering Luo Yunhuan. Admittedly, although this dog system sometimes acted on its own, its flattery was genuinely soothing.

No wonder emperors were always surrounded by eunuchs. Luo Yunhuan estimated that if she accidentally transmigrated into an emperor’s body, she would also enjoy having a team of eunuchs singing her praises. After all, during court sessions, she’d have to endure scoldings from ministers, but once court was dismissed, she’d be met with the eunuchs’ extravagant adulation.

“I told you, take a risk and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle. How could I not take on such a great mission?”

The system continued to lavish praise on Luo Yunhuan for a while, only getting down to business after it had flattered her enough.

[By the way, Host, there’s one more thing to congratulate you on!]

[With your favorability points reaching 20%, headquarters has decided to reward you with 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. However, there won’t be any lottery draws this time. After all, we’re a favorability system, not a conquer-the-cultivation-world system.]

Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!

This was undoubtedly a massive fortune in the cultivation world.

“Wait, when did your headquarters become so generous?”

“Giving me so much aren’t you afraid of causing inflation in the cultivation world?”

Though she said this, Luo Yunhuan was already overjoyed inside. Two or three complete spirit stone veins might not even yield 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. The system was essentially rewarding her with the equivalent of four spirit stone veins’ worth of reserves.

And all she lost were two lottery chances it was absolutely exhilarating, utterly fantastic!

[Of course not. However, headquarters extracts resources that already exist in this cultivation world. So, while you’ll be rich, other sects’ spirit stone veins might suffer as a result.]

The system explained seriously.

So that’s how it is, Luo Yunhuan nodded.

But who cares? With so many spirit stones, she could buy as many talisman papers as she wanted in the future.

Even as a Qi Refining stage cultivator, she could still knock a Golden Core stage expert’s head off.

While conversing with the system, Luo Yunhuan’s movements never ceased. She gently wrapped her arms around her senior sister’s waist, her crimson lips pressed against the other’s neck.

The proximity was so close that Luo Yunhuan could see the fine hairs standing on Qin Yiqiu’s skin from the corner of her eye.

“Senior Sister, what did you see in the illusion?”

“Why did you stab me?”

Though she vaguely guessed it had something to do with a love tribulation, Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but ask.

Seeing that the other remained silent for a long time, only breathing a little more rapidly, Luo Yunhuan felt slightly disappointed.

Fine.

Just as she thought her senior sister was ignoring her and was about to resume chatting with the system, she felt a cool hand rest on the back of hers.

“In the illusion, I saw the Severing Love Platform. The master ordered me to cut the red thread of fate between us,”

“Our fates are so deeply entangled that even if I were to wield a sword to sever them, as long as my heart remains unresolved, the red thread will simply grow back.”

Qin Yiqiu closed her eyes, confronting her most base and filthy desires.

“Master wanted to kill you, to interfere with our karmic ties and help me continue cultivating the Emotionless Art. But I couldn’t do it, Junior Sister, I couldn’t bear to let Master force my hand to kill you.”

That was why Qin Yiqiu had nearly been consumed by the Mystic Moon Illusion.

The speed of Qin Yiqiu’s flying sword slowed as she gazed at her palm, still finding it hard to believe even now.

“In order not to harm you, Junior Sister, I actually raised my sword against Master. Such ingratitude has already violated the sect’s rules, I should be expelled from the mountain.”

But this was merely an illusion; none of it had truly happened. Yet, even as an illusion, Qin Yiqiu found it unbearable to accept.

So this was the dream.

Luo Yunhuan was left speechless, the joy she had felt upon obtaining ten thousand top-grade spirit stones gradually fading.

“Then, Senior Sister, do you regret it?”

The wind brushed past their ears, their breaths intertwining. Luo Yunhuan’s voice softened as she asked, no longer viewing Qin Yiqiu as a target to be conquered, but genuinely wishing to share her burden.

“The me at that time is the same as the me now. If it were to happen again, the outcome would likely be the same.”

Qin Yiqiu could face her heart openly, never hiding or evading, so she spoke her truth.

“Then that’s enough.”

“Harming Master is a terrible thing, but you protected me, Senior Sister…”

Luo Yunhuan drew closer.

“I still want to thank you. Even though this is an illusion, perhaps one day it will become reality.”

“No.”

Qin Yiqiu took a deep breath.

“If we continue to delay, our feelings will only grow stronger, and by then, you won’t be able to sever this thread of affection.”

Suddenly, Qin Yiqiu reached out, her cool fingers tightly gripping Luo Yunhuan’s wrist. The slightly rough calluses from wielding a sword brushed against her skin, sending an unusual sensation through her.

“Junior Sister, after we leave this secret realm, I will dual cultivate with you to hasten the arrival of our love tribulation!”

As Qin Yiqiu spoke, her tone was resolute and left no room for doubt. She knew that if she hesitated any longer, she would only become indecisive. It was better to decisively cut the ties of affection.

While their entanglement was still shallow, she would sever that fine red thread. This way, the harm and impact on her junior sister would not be too severe, and she would still retain the ability to love again.

If their feelings took deep root, the red thread would grow long and difficult to cut. And once it was truly severed, both she and her junior sister would be left desolate and lost.

“Ah…”

Luo Yunhuan let out a small gasp of surprise, seemingly taken aback by how assertive Qin Yiqiu had become.

Just moments ago, she had been too shy to even hold her hand.

“Sorry, I know saying this might lead to misunderstandings.”

Qin Yiqiu casually scanned the terrain within the secret realm and noticed that the rampaging beast tide was no longer as ferocious as before.

Was it because she had broken the illusion?

Qin Yiqiu wondered to herself.

But she also knew that without her junior sister’s help, she would not have been able to shatter the illusion.

The illusion was too vivid, evolving according to one’s deepest fears. No one could escape it; no one could evade its sense of reality.

“But Junior Sister, we can’t delay any longer.”

“If this continues, I’m afraid I might.”

I’m afraid I might plant within you a thread of affection that even I cannot sever.

Qin Yiqiu swallowed these last words alone, unwilling to speak them aloud.

“I understand.”

Surprisingly, her junior sister agreed more readily than she had expected.

“If you need me, Senior Sister, we can begin right now.”

Rolling in the sheets with a beauty was no loss, especially when it was someone she herself had grown fond of.

Luo Yunhuan refused to believe she couldn’t break through Qin Yiqiu’s defenses.

When the time comes, Senior Sister, you’ll be just like your illusion self unable to bring yourself to cut the red thread between us.

Heh, Who’s the hunter and who’s the prey remains to be seen!
