- Chapter 74 - Bamboo Grove Confessions
Qin Yiqiu stared unblinkingly at her junior sister, her gaze naturally falling upon the book’s cover plain and unadorned. It was the most ordinary blue cover, the book somewhat aged with curled pages, clearly having been read many times.
Of course, she only gave it a brief glance before noticing something even more unusual.
Why was the book’s title so strange?
Twin Blossoms Entwining Art
Qin Yiqiu silently recited it in her mind. Generally, cultivation manuals had concise and straightforward names to help practitioners quickly find what they needed. But this title…
Qin Yiqiu, being highly perceptive, only puzzled over it for a moment before realizing what kind of book it was. Instantly, her entire face flushed crimson.
Her junior sister was truly.
She didn’t know how to describe it.
“Senior Sister, why are you looking down?”
Luo Yunhuan, of course, knew the reason but deliberately teased Qin Yiqiu. She loved seeing the other blush shyly.
The faint red hue of her skin resembled ripe fruit, the vibrant red of lychees and the soft pink of apples.
“Junior Sister, you must understand that such things are forbidden texts within the sect.”
She reached out and firmly pressed down on the book.
“This time, I can let it slide and pretend I saw nothing. But you must hand the book over to me. I need to lock it away in the library.”
What era was this?
Qin Yiqiu was as strict as a school disciplinarian. Luo Yunhuan pursed her lips lightly, her hand still gripping the book, showing no intention of letting go.
“No!”
Clearly, this response was something Qin Yiqiu hadn’t anticipated. After all, since her youth, she had taken on the role of captain of the Yun Jian Mountain Sect’s enforcement team.
The position of the enforcement hall elder was practically nominal, as she had essentially taken over the role. No one ever opposed the punishments she decreed.
“Junior Sister, don’t throw a tantrum.”
If it were anyone else, Qin Yiqiu would have already turned and walked away without bothering to negotiate, leaving it to the members of her enforcement team to handle. But facing this person, she had to admit she was biased she couldn’t bring herself to act so harshly.
“I’m not throwing a tantrum, Senior Sister. You owe me a reward, and I haven’t forgotten.”
Luo Yunhuan pressed forward step by step. Qin Yiqiu, feeling increasingly uneasy, retreated until the back of her calves bumped against the bamboo bed.
The bed was woven from resilient purple bamboo, its surface smooth and polished, a clear sign that Qin Yiqiu had spent many summer days here. The purple bamboo’s surface was so smooth it required no additional padding.
Luo Yunhuan looked down at Qin Yiqiu, using the book to lift her chin.
It felt good to have leverage. Qin Yiqiu had no choice but to yield to her coercion, and Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph.
“That time in the Mystic Moon Secret Realm, you promised me yourself no matter what compensation I asked for, you would repay me.”
Luo Yunhuan blinked, her dark eyes gleaming with a fox-like cunning. At first, she had been reluctant to use this opportunity, but if she didn’t act now, Qin Yiqiu would soon retreat into cultivation for months on end. What would she do then?
Enduring lonely nights in an empty room was no easy feat.
Luo Yunhuan had even asked the system why it hadn’t issued any punishment tasks for her in over a month.
The system had given its response. Since her progress in the conquest was quite normal, even fast by most standards there was no need for headquarters to rush her.
But if too much time passed and she still hadn’t secured the conquest value, headquarters might impose new penalties.
“Is Senior Sister planning to turn her back and deny it now?”
Faced with such a pointed question from her junior sister, Qin Yiqiu was momentarily at a loss for words. Her eyes fixed on the book, she seemed to make a firm decision in her heart.
“Then, Junior Sister, bring it over and let me take a look.”
As expected, Senior Sister had given in. Luo Yunhuan revealed a sweet smile and handed over the book she was holding.
But she didn’t step away from Qin Yiqiu. Instead, she only moved back slightly, giving her senior sister enough space to open and read the book.
Initially, Luo Yunhuan had stumbled upon the vendor by chance. As everyone knew, such books were forbidden within the sect, and their sale was strictly prohibited.
Luo Yunhuan had originally been going about her daily tasks, selling the worthless talismans she had drawn and buying some new materials.
She would also listen to her regular customers’ critiques of her talismans and make improvements accordingly.
But after selling her talismans, she noticed a few people sneaking into a narrow alley in the trading street. Their behavior was so suspicious it felt like a scene straight out of a spy movie, as if they were exchanging secrets.
Curiosity stirred in Luo Yunhuan’s heart.
She thought to herself, since the target of her conquest wasn’t around, it wouldn’t hurt to explore a side quest, right?
That was how she discovered an even narrower alley deep within the first one. Though there were only a few stalls, they were all selling items strictly forbidden by the sect.
While none of them involved demonic cultivation techniques, there were books on seductive sorcery and other illicit arts, truly a den of criminal activity.
Nevertheless, Luo Yunhuan happily browsed the alley and ended up finding these “treasures.”
Qin Yiqiu’s fingers turned to the first page.
There, written in bold, was a clear warning:
[This book is not for cultivation; it is for pleasure alone.]
Qin Yiqiu glanced up at Luo Yunhuan, only to find her junior sister showing no trace of embarrassment. On the contrary, Luo Yunhuan leaned in closer, crouching down and resting her chin on Qin Yiqiu’s knee.
“Senior Sister, turn the page.”
Her tone was teasing, enough to make anyone blush.
“Where did you buy this?”
Qin Yiqiu took a deep breath and continued flipping through the pages. The second page detailed how to harmonize the spiritual energy between two women.
So far, it seemed relatively normal.
But the third page.
Qin Yiqiu’s earlobes instantly flushed a deep red, resembling overripe cherries on the verge of rotting.
This book was similar to the forbidden one she had read in the library, but it was far more explicit. At least the spider demoness in the other book wore a black cloak, and the young Taoist priest had his tattered robes.
Qin Yiqiu quickly turned the page, her eyes lingering for less than a second. Though she could deceive Luo Yunhuan, she couldn’t deceive herself.
The memory of a Golden Core cultivator was exceptionally sharp. With just one glance, she could remember everything vividly and replay the images clearly in her mind.
The knowledge in this book was even more extensive than what she had read before. Qin Yiqiu guiltily glanced at her own fingers.
So it wasn’t just about fingers spiritual energy could be used as a substitute. But since she had an ice spiritual root, it would probably feel very cold.
Qin Yiqiu flipped through the pages rapidly.
Luo Yunhuan felt as if she were witnessing the quantum speed-reading method in real life.
“Although such speed-reading techniques are scams in the real world, they’re quite plausible in the cultivation realm.”
“Senior Sister, have you finished reading?”
A soft voice sounded near her knees.
“I’ve finished.”
Qin Yiqiu answered truthfully.
Immediately, she saw Luo Yunhuan stand up again, pressing her forehead against hers, completely dominating the situation. There was no trace left of the pitiful outer sect disciple from before.
“Then have you learned it?”
Burning fingertips trailed down her neck, entwining in her dark hair, finally coming to rest at her collarbone. Luo Yunhuan’s tone was extremely suggestive.
“This is the reward I want.”
