Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 73

This was happening in a public place, with many disciples passing by along the way, casting curious glances. However, intimidated by Qin Yiqiu’s icy aura, none dared to look for too long.

“Junior Sister, don’t be like this.”

Qin Yiqiu’s breathing grew rapid as she gently admonished her junior sister.

She had no desire to attract excessive attention. Her fingers tightly gripped the wooden box, as if she were about to scrape splinters from it.

“What am I doing wrong?”

“Eldest Sister promised to compensate me, but not only has she failed to do so, she’s even been avoiding me. It’s truly disheartening.”

Luo Yunhuan’s voice carried a tone of melancholy, as if she were slowly recounting the wrongdoings Qin Yiqiu had committed.

“I truly went to discuss the Dao, and I even bought you a gift. Look.”

Qin Yiqiu handed over the box. Distracted, Luo Yunhuan’s attention shifted to the rosewood box.

“Let’s talk somewhere else. It’s too crowded here.”

If the two of them lingered any longer, rumors would surely spread throughout the sect by the next day that she and her junior sister had done everything imaginable, whether appropriate or not.

As the captain of the enforcement squad, Qin Yiqiu had witnessed the worst of human malice, so she remained somewhat guarded.

“Alright.”

Luo Yunhuan nodded and followed her senior sister. They arrived at a secluded spot, where lush green bamboo grew densely.

“This is my cultivation space. Usually, no one comes here.”

Qin Yiqiu spoke as she walked ahead, crossing a stone path until they reached a thatched hut. The roof was woven from straw, and the walls were made of bamboo and mud.

This was a genuine bamboo-and-thatch hut, much like those seen in historical dramas. If the walls weren’t plastered with mud and only bamboo were used, the wind would blow right through, filling the entire room with cold drafts.

It would be utterly uninhabitable in the dead of winter.

Qin Yiqiu pushed open the door. The interior was clean and impeccably tidy. Suddenly, a thought crossed Luo Yunhuan’s mind: Was Eldest Sister planning to engage in some intimate games by inviting her here alone?

Of course, this was merely Luo Yunhuan’s private speculation.

She didn’t dare show it, as it would surely make her seem like a pervert.

“Open it and take a look.”

Qin Yiqiu smiled and nodded. Even when she smiled, it wasn’t a broad grin just a slight upturn of her lips, like the tip of the moon emerging from behind the clouds.

Seeing her senior sister’s anticipation, Luo Yunhuan naturally didn’t want to disappoint her. She opened the rosewood box with her fingers.

Inside lay a hairpin.

Its entire body was a translucent, vibrant green. Though Luo Yunhuan wasn’t highly knowledgeable about jade, she could tell that such a pure, bright color must be quite expensive, especially since it emitted a faint spiritual glow.

Oh dear. I’ve inadvertently made Eldest Sister spend a fortune.

“Do you like it?”

Seeing Luo Yunhuan staring intently at the hairpin in the box, Qin Yiqiu felt an inexplicable nervousness and slowly asked.

“I like it.”

“It’s very beautiful.”

Luo Yunhuan extended her fair, slender fingers, like segments of scallions, and gently traced the exquisitely carved jade lotus hairpin. A bittersweet feeling stirred within her heart.

She had only ever thought of relentlessly pursuing her senior sister, never expecting the other to reciprocate with such a gesture.

“Let me try putting it on for you.”

Qin Yiqiu revealed a smile. When she bought things, she never hesitated. Since it was for her own use, even if there were minor flaws, she didn’t mind.

But if it’s for someone you love, it’s different. Your heart feels uneasy, wondering what to do if the other person doesn’t like it?

Luo Yunhuan lifted the jade lotus hairpin and placed it in her senior sister’s palm. The pad of her finger brushed against Qin Yiqiu’s palm, sending an indescribable sensation that was hard to resist.

Several times, her heart raced uncontrollably.

Qin Yiqiu leaned closer and closer, her warm breath brushing against Luo Yunhuan’s forehead. At such a close distance, it was hard not to let one’s thoughts wander!

Luo Yunhuan suppressed her wildly beating heart.

She told herself it was nothing just an ordinary moment of adorning a hair accessory.

The emerald hairpin slid into the dark hair, and Qin Yiqiu gazed at it with satisfaction. But before she could admire it further, her waist was embraced.

“Senior sister, you didn’t even tell me you were going away for a whole month.”

Qin Yiqiu:

Little one, still holding a grudge, huh?

“I wasn’t traveling far, just in Yun Jian City. By the way, when I went to buy the jade hairpin, the shopkeeper recommended some other things too.”

Qin Yiqiu had only meant to share a casual story she was an honest soul, but she ended up saying more than she intended. By the time she realized what she had let slip,

she felt a pang of regret.

Why did I tell my junior sister about this?

Could it be that I want to use those things on her?

No, that absolutely won’t do. If I really did that, I’d be no different from those wicked heretics.

Falling into depravity and desire, indulging in tools of arousal.

“What other things?”

Luo Yunhuan tilted her head.

[Ding Congratulations, host! You have triggered the secret of your target of pursuit. If you can uncover it, you will receive a system reward, unlocking the mystery of Qin Yiqiu’s background!]

Luo Yunhuan:

Damn system, since when do you have this function?

[Of course we do, host. Many pursuers focus only on the pursuit itself and neglect the emotional experiences of the one being pursued. So, our headquarters encourages you to explore the background and experiences of your target.]

[This can help lower the blackening value!]

Luo Yunhuan had thought this was just a simple pursuit system, but it seemed she had underestimated it.

“It’s nothing.”

Qin Yiqiu instinctively avoided the topic, ready to steer the conversation elsewhere.

Forget it. Pushing my senior sister further would only make her more shy, like a timid hermit crab retreating into its shell at the slightest touch.

As long as I find out which shop this hairpin came from, uncovering the secret should be easy.

Today, Luo Yunhuan focused her attention on something else.

Truth be told, she also enjoyed dual cultivation with Qin Yiqiu not only did it help improve her cultivation realm, but it was also a pleasurable experience.

Especially since Qin Yiqiu’s skin was so delicate and fair all over.

Every time she touched it, she couldn’t get enough. Luo Yunhuan finally understood why some people had those strange afflictions.

Like the most famous one skin hunger.

“Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, senior sister, I won’t press you. But there’s something else I’d like to ask.”

Luo Yunhuan stroked her chin, then pulled out her long-cherished dual cultivation manual.

She had spent two mid-grade spirit stones at a street stall to acquire it, haggling with the vendor from noon until sunset.

Even though the system criticized it, saying the cultivation methods in this manual were flawed and the amount of spiritual energy the two could absorb was minimal.

However, Luo Yunhuan revealed an understanding smile.

“System, you just don’t get it.”

“Do you know why I chose this book?”

With a slightly flushed face, Luo Yunhuan stored the book in her storage ring and cheerfully went to hunt for other bargains.

Although she possessed immense wealth, all of it was reserved for emergencies.

As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted. If she suddenly started spending lavishly, she might attract unwanted attention.

[Why?]

“Because it has numerous cultivation techniques. Talking with someone like you who’s as dull as a machine is exhausting.”

System:

Why did he feel like he’d just been insulted?
