Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 9

The hairs on Luo Yunhuan’s back stood on end, and she couldn’t help but inwardly lament oh no, could it be that the senior sister was still dwelling on the fact that she had bitten her lip earlier?

But she hadn’t done it on purpose! If things had continued the way they were, neither of them would have been able to stop.

Though Luo Yunhuan was terrified, her footsteps did not hesitate for long, as she feared that delaying too much would also displease the person before her.

In the book, although Qin Yiqiu was a good person, she was extremely strict when it came to those who violated the sect’s rules and indulged in forbidden acts like the male and female protagonists.

Once, when she caught the two of them in the grass, she immediately ordered them to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment, and they ended up kneeling for months.

Although that was purely the author’s way of setting up a scene in the ancestral hall.

“It didn’t break the skin.”

Luo Yunhuan approached the bedside and forced herself to tell the truth. Just as she was about to beg the senior sister for forgiveness for her recklessness, she felt a cold fingertip lift her chin.

The sensation of the cool pad of a finger rubbing against the skin of her chin was indescribable. In all her years, no one had ever dared to lay a hand on her like this.

Indeed, taking liberties with the senior sister a few days ago was bound to come back to haunt her.

Luo Yunhuan couldn’t help but think to herself. The next moment, Qin Yiqiu’s fingertip stroked her lips, then tentatively parted them to inspect the inside.

Luo Yunhuan:

Her entire body trembled.

This kind of action felt far too transgressive.

“Se… Senior Sister.”

Luo Yunhuan tentatively called out to Qin Yiqiu. Although Qin Yiqiu’s character was that of an aloof beauty, no matter what, it couldn’t change the essence of this novel.

If something were to happen, she wouldn’t be able to handle it especially since the senior sister’s favorability rating was still so low. If the master of the Spring Breeze Hall or the sect leader decided to eliminate a seductress like her, it would be over in an instant.

“That’s good. When I lost control earlier, I wasn’t sure if I had bitten you, so I had to check carefully. It seems there’s no injury.”

Qin Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Her constitution was different from ordinary people as an ice spiritual root cultivator who practiced emotionless techniques, her body remained in a perpetually low-temperature state. Moreover, due to the unique nature of her spiritual root, it had given rise to a strange poison.

Unless injured by her own sword, anyone wounded by ice-based spiritual energy or magic could contract this poison.

This was why, despite possessing a top-tier mutated ice spiritual root, Qin Yiqiu rarely used it.

Luo Yunhuan’s heart stirred inexplicably. Sob, sob… The senior sister is truly kind. Someone like her, who came with the intention of winning her over, was utterly despicable.

“Thank you for saving me.”

Qin Yiqiu withdrew her hand, her words carrying a tone of sincerity.

However, since she had still done something excessive, Qin Yiqiu intended to make amends.

“But I forced a kiss on you. What kind of compensation would you like?”

Hearing such words from someone usually so cold and detached left Luo Yunhuan’s mind reeling.

“There’s no need. Senior Sister saved me before, and now I’ve saved Senior Sister. Isn’t that fair?”

Luo Yunhuan clasped her hands behind her back and revealed a charming smile. Qin Yiqiu stared at her, and for some reason, her heartbeat once again fell out of rhythm.

But it was only a slight disturbance, and Qin Yiqiu almost didn’t notice it.

[Congratulations, Host! Favorability increased by 0.2!]

Luo Yunhuan heard the system’s voice in her mind. She couldn’t understand what she had just done to earn two points of favorability.

“Though it’s true what you said, I still forced you.”

Qin Yiqiu pondered carefully. Her ice-blue eyes were the most beautiful, after all in this book, aside from writing steamy scenes, the author was either on the way to writing them or occasionally paused to describe the appearances of side characters and the protagonist.

Her crisp voice was like pearls falling onto a jade plate. Even though it wasn’t loud, it could be heard clearly throughout the room.

“No need.”

Luo Yunhuan shook her head.

“Then, Senior Sister, rest well. I’ll return to my room. Call me if you need anything.”

Luo Yunhuan practically fled in a panic. Although she had increased the favorability points with the senior sister, it came with her own heart falling for her.

Pressing her palm against her chest, Luo Yunhuan didn’t understand why the palpitations were so intense.

At the peak of the Cloud Sword Mountain Sect stood a small courtyard. Though not particularly large, every part of it was exquisitely elegant.

“Senior Brother.”

The master of the Spring Breeze Hall hurriedly pushed open the courtyard gate and saw a man in a blue robe sitting in the yard. In front of his courtyard was a clear pond where plump koi fish swam leisurely.

If Luo Yunhuan were present, she would surely complain that each of these fish looked like reincarnated chicken-wing rice rolls.

“Junior Brother, what’s the rush?”

The man looked up.

He still maintained the appearance of his middle years refined and dignified like a clear breeze under the bright moon. However, unlike Qin Yiqiu’s icy aura, the sect leader, though elegant in demeanor, was a typical smiling tiger.

“Yiqiu has encountered a problem in her cultivation.”

The man’s eyes widened, and the fish food in his hand spilled entirely into the pond, causing the koi to scramble for it.

“This is a terrible matter.”

“That’s not the most urgent issue. When I went to see her, the way she looked at a woman was very unusual.”

The man crossed his arms and sat up straight. He had long known that his disciple would face this day.

He just hadn’t expected it to come so early. Qin Yiqiu was not even a hundred years old yet in the eyes of these thousand-year-old or nearly ten-thousand-year-old veterans, she was still a girl as young as could be.

“It’s a love tribulation.”

The man propped his cheek with one hand, sinking into distress. Cultivating the Path of Emotionlessness meant encountering numerous tribulations in one’s lifetime.

Such as familial bonds, or karmic ties to the world.

But the love tribulation was both simple and not so simple. For those with shallow emotional attachments, severing the red thread of fate could be done in a single thought.

Yet for those deeply attached and persistent in love, it might be the most difficult shackle to break.

“Senior Brother, should I take preemptive action and eliminate that woman?”

Seeing the sect leader remain silent for a long time, the master of the Spring Breeze Hall hurriedly suggested.

“Yiqiu is your successor. She cannot have the slightest mishap.”

Other disciples in the sect might violate the rules occasionally, and at most, they would face some punishment. But Qin Yiqiu could not afford any mistakes.

The Cloud Sword Mountain Sect was founded on the Emotionless Technique. However, because the technique was exceptionally perilous, only one or two disciples were selected each year to practice it.

Moreover, many would stagnate at the third or fourth stage of the technique, encountering their tribulations or inner demons.

“I know, but external interference would also entangle one in karma.”

The sect master slowly raised his head.

“Junior Brother, do not concern yourself with this matter for now. I wish to see just how far Yi Qiu can go.”

If possible, as her master, he still hoped his disciple could overcome this trial on her own rather than having him intervene to resolve this tribulation.

Being entangled in too much karma would not benefit the cultivation of the Emotionless Art.
