Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 76

“No, I think that might have been left by the Eldest Senior Sister.”

Yuan Renlin’s face flushed bright red as well. In their sect, the emphasis was on ascetic cultivation, so he rarely encountered such matters. Still, his age meant he had more life experience enough to have “eaten more salt than his younger cousin had eaten rice.”

“Why?”

Yuan Dingshan asked in confusion, but he quickly understood why. The two figures before him were drawing closer and closer.

Luo Yunhuan’s cheeks were tinged with a delicate blush, as if she were lost in shyness. Yuan Dingshan had never seen her like this before, so enchantingly beautiful.

They say love sees beauty where others might not. In his eyes, Luo Yunhuan was as stunning as a celestial maiden descended from the heavens. Every glance and smile carried a bewitching allure.

Yuan Dingshan felt as if his heart were about to be stolen away. No wonder so many cultivators struggled to resist the temptations of seductive spirits there was a clear reason for it.

“If you have to ask, you should go home and focus on your cultivation,” Yuan Renlin brushed him off casually, clearly unwilling to engage further with his naive younger cousin.

“In a few days, I’ll be returning to the Qin family for Grandfather’s birthday celebration. Since Master can’t attend, I’ll be representing him.”

Qin Yiqiu glanced at the marks on Luo Yunhuan’s neck, a pang of guilt stirring within her. Sometimes, she couldn’t control herself, which was why she left behind such deep bite marks.

She extended a finger, a faint spiritual energy enveloping its tip, and used a healing technique to smooth away the red traces.

“If you’d like to come, Junior Sister, you can accompany me.”

Visiting the Qin family would not only broaden her horizons but also prevent this headstrong junior sister from throwing a tantrum. Qin Yiqiu considered it a win-win situation.

After she had spent a month away for a discourse on the Dao, Luo Yunhuan had clung to her relentlessly, cultivating together for three days and nights straight. Even now, Qin Yiqiu’s body felt somewhat weak.

After all, as a Golden Core cultivator, she couldn’t absorb her junior sister’s spiritual energy or essence. Even the slightest sip would leave Luo Yunhuan completely drained.

“Really?”

Luo Yunhuan hadn’t expected Qin Yiqiu to invite her along willingly. Overwhelmed with excitement, she abruptly closed the distance between them.

Perhaps the consecutive dual cultivation sessions had left her body weakened, but Qin Yiqiu stumbled unsteadily, bracing herself against a green bamboo. The bamboo leaves rustled, and a few withered ones drifted down.

One of the dried leaves settled in Qin Yiqiu’s hair. Today, she wore only a simple peachwood hairpin, its plain elegance a stark contrast to the flamboyant attire of the other direct disciples in the sect.

“Would I lie? I never deceive you, Junior Sister.”

Qin Yiqiu smiled, her expression thawing like melting ice. She reached out and took Luo Yunhuan’s hand, her thumb gently stroking the back of it. The gesture suddenly reminded Luo Yunhuan of their time in the wooden cabin.

The Eldest Senior Sister had done the same then her fingers circling an ankle, brushing past a knee, evoking a tingling sensation that seeped deep into her bones.

“Then I’ll go with you, Eldest Senior Sister. Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”

Luo Yunhuan’s eyes curved into happy crescents as she threw herself forward. The poor bamboo shuddered, its leaves rustling loudly as a few more yellowed leaves fluttered down.

“A while ago, I asked Senior Brother Yuan to bring you a few books. Did you receive them?”

Qin Yiqiu recalled the matter and decided to confirm.

“I did.”

“The Yuan family comes from a lineage of talisman masters, so they have quite a collection. I was narrow-minded before, feeling displeased about your interactions with Yuan Dingshan.”

“It’s good for you to spend more time with him; you can learn more about the cultivation methods of talisman masters.”

Qin Yiqiu was apologizing for her earlier inexplicable jealousy. Luo Yunhuan’s heart skipped a beat. She had always felt that the misunderstanding was her own fault, so she never blamed her senior sister.

But now,

She hadn’t expected Qin Yiqiu to take the initiative to apologize.

Her heart felt like a vast field of flowers swept by a gentle breeze, all their fragrances rushing in at once.

“No, I’ve made up my mind to keep my distance from Senior Brother Yuan.”

Luo Yunhuan leaned down and kissed those cool, thin lips once more. It was said that those with thin lips were fickle and unfaithful.

But wasn’t that just a stereotypical judgment?

Although Qin Yiqiu cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness, she had already shown Luo Yunhuan the utmost affection and favoritism. How could anyone not be moved by that?

“Junior Sister, we’re still outside.”

The last few words were lost between their lips. Qin Yiqiu closed her eyes and responded gently, the only movement being the slight swaying of the bamboo they leaned against.

“Senior Sister, what are you afraid of? There’s no one here.”

Luo Yunhuan’s words carried a hint of recklessness, and her actions grew increasingly bold, pressing closer and closer.

Unbeknownst to them, hidden behind a large rock not far away were two men. Yuan Dingshan, overwhelmed with anger, turned his back to the scene, leaning against the stone, his heart in turmoil.

He had thought he could wait until the day Luo Yunhuan severed her feelings, but one incident after another had become unbearable.

Why should he have to wait for Senior Sister to cut her ties? Couldn’t she choose someone else to torment? Why did he have to yield? Just because Qin Yiqiu was the sect’s successor?

His knuckles cracked audibly as he clenched his fists.

A storm of emotions sourness, anger, and possessiveness raged within Yuan Dingshan, solidifying his resolve to seek out the Love Gu.

Yuan Renlin, on the other hand, stared unblinkingly at the scene, letting out a long sigh after a while.

He patted his cousin’s back. It seemed someone’s heart was destined to shatter into pieces today.

But he truly hadn’t expected Qin Yiqiu to fall so deeply, far more than he had imagined.

“Let’s go.”

“If we stay any longer, it won’t be good if Senior Sister detects our presence.”

Yuan Renlin had no desire to be discovered. Although peeking at others wasn’t against sect rules, it would undoubtedly displease Qin Yiqiu.

Only a fool would antagonize the future sect leader.

Yuan Dingshan was reluctant but knew when to retreat. He stood up, crouched low, and followed Yuan Renlin out of the dense bamboo grove.

Some time later, Luo Yunhuan finally pulled away from her senior sister. She wiped the moisture from her lips with her knuckles.

Taking deep breaths of fresh air.

[Congratulations, Host! Favorability points have increased by 5!]

[You have unlocked a triple draw.]

The system’s congratulatory message echoed in her ears, but Luo Yunhuan paid it no mind, her eyes still curved into a smile as she gazed at Qin Yiqiu.

“Then, Senior Sister, I’ll take my leave now.”

“See you tonight.”

Luo Yunhuan was reluctant to part from Qin Yiqiu, but clinging to her senior sister for twenty-four hours straight wasn’t appropriate. She still needed to investigate the mysteries of her senior sister’s background.

Otherwise, once they went to the Qin family, she wouldn’t be able to complete this hidden mission.

More importantly, Luo Yunhuan still had a few previous orders to deliver to the disciples who had placed them at the market.

These disciples were all buying cheap protective talismans, fireball talismans, and the like.

Luo Yunhuan thought to herself that this two-dollar cultivation manual was actually quite good it had plenty of postures.

She decided to ask the shopkeeper to buy a few more copies.

“See you tonight.”

Qin Yiqiu nodded.

For her grandfather’s birthday, her master had already prepared a gift to offer as a tribute. Qin Yiqiu only needed to deliver it.

But she still wanted to prepare something herself. After all, what her master gave was from her master, and what she gave was from her, they couldn’t be lumped together.
