The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 19

Night hung low. Dark clouds gathered again in the sky and covered the moon. Between heaven and earth, everything turned gloomy and miserable. When a gust of wind blew through, faint wails of demons and ghosts seemed mixed within it.
“You are asking who I am?” Yimu raised her hand and touched her mask. “You have already seen me. Do you still need to ask who I am?”
“How do you know these things…” Mu Yinfeng twisted her hands tightly together. The wounds on her fingertips split open again, and blood dripped drop by drop into the dust and mud. But she could barely feel it now. The threat Yimu brought her was already enough to make her ignore these things.
In an instant, she had two thoughts. Either Yimu was a transmigrator like her, or she was a reborn person who knew the script. But clearly, neither possibility held up. If Yimu was a transmigrator, then after knowing what kind of person Huixue was and what kind of person Mu Yinfeng was, she could not have this attitude. If Yimu was reborn, then knowing what Mu Yinfeng would do later, how could she let Mu Yinfeng go so easily?
So what exactly was Yimu? Why did she know about the future battle between Huixue and Mu Yinfeng among the White Snow Pagoda peonies? How did she know Huixue would die there in the future?
“Knowing is knowing. It does not need a specific reason.” Yimu laughed softly. “Mu Yinfeng, raise your head and look into my eyes.”
Yimu’s voice was quite tempting, as if some unseen hand in the dark was forcing Mu Yinfeng to obey her order. Although Mu Yinfeng resisted with all her strength, she still could not control her gaze. She slowly raised her head and met Yimu’s eyes.
Yimu’s eyes were a clear green, but within that green lay faint shadows. What appeared before Mu Yinfeng was not the vitality life should have, but the dead silence of withering life.
Inside that dead silence was a small whirlpool. The whirlpool had a powerful pull, as if it wanted to draw her entire person inside. Even though the night was extremely dark, Mu Yinfeng was certain this was not her imagination.
“Three thousand worlds, drifting mortal lives. What is the road you came from? What is the road you return to?” Yimu’s voice was very soft, but every word reached Mu Yinfeng’s ears. In that instant, Mu Yinfeng felt as if she had been placed in a strange space where all sensations had vanished. Her shock, fear… everything disappeared.
Beside her ears, it seemed the sound of a rising tide rang out, as if waves were gently striking reefs. Mu Yinfeng widened her eyes, but all she saw was a boundless night.
This feeling faded quickly. Mu Yinfeng focused her eyes and saw that Yimu was still standing before her. Tianbing was wrapped around Yimu’s neck, ready to attack at any time.
It seemed everything just now had only been her imagination.
“So what do you plan to do? You cannot possibly know everything, Mu Yinfeng.” Yimu blinked. Only then did Mu Yinfeng realize her body had returned to her control. She had just been about to keep asking when Yimu pushed both palms forward. A surge of spiritual flow rushed from Yimu’s palms and directly knocked her away.
“Tianbing!” Mu Yinfeng ordered. She could see that Yimu would not answer these questions. If that was the case, there was only one thing she could do.
Kill her.
But that thought soon scattered, because the moment Mu Yinfeng raised her head, she saw clearly that Tianbing hung limply in Yimu’s hand, without the slightest strength to resist.
So the victory she had thought she had was only her delusion. How could the current her possibly defeat Yimu?
Yimu walked toward her step by step. Mu Yinfeng had already prepared herself to die. In her heart, she secretly hoped Yimu would torture her more cruelly, because the more one was tormented before death, the higher the chance of becoming a vengeful ghost, and the stronger that ghost would be.
For some unknown reason, Mu Yinfeng felt no fear about falling onto the ghost path. It seemed like an extremely ordinary thing.
She had heard that sometimes hunters would temporarily release prey already in their grasp. After letting the prey think it could escape, they would catch it again and toy with it, enjoying the pleasure of deciding life and death.
What Yimu wanted to do was probably something like that. Mu Yinfeng had not realized that in Yimu’s eyes, the current her was only a little plaything. Influenced by the plot, she had thought too highly of herself.
But to her surprise, Yimu’s blood vine did not fall on her body. Instead, it avoided her and landed beside her hand. Falling with the blood vine were Tianbing and the antidote.
“Count it as your win. I am willing to accept defeat after gambling.” Yimu turned and left. “But I am taking your pipa. This blood vine counts as my compensation to you.”
This was…
Mu Yinfeng quickly pushed herself up with one hand. “Why?”
“There is no why. It is only an exchange. One pill is enough to remove the poison. Do not use too many.” Yimu strode down the mountain without looking back. “If one day you want to leave Hanyou Valley, I will take you away.”
“You are not killing me?”
Yimu did not answer. Her figure quickly slipped into the night and vanished. For some reason, Mu Yinfeng suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed a little brighter than before, as if a thin layer of mist had been lifted.
Not far from her lay a snow-white figure, unmoving. She quickly ran to that figure. Seeing Huixue’s calm expression and steady breathing, she finally let out a breath of relief. Just as Yimu had said, Huixue was only asleep.
There was no need for Mu Yinfeng to imagine that Yimu had deliberately given her poison, because if Yimu wanted to kill them, they would not be alive at all. Neither Mu Yinfeng nor Huixue had realized that, without knowing it, they had already entered Yimu’s domain, the Myriad Manifestations Domain.
Yimu’s Myriad Manifestations Domain was the most hidden of all domains Mu Yinfeng knew in this world. It was also a type of illusion domain, but it could create things far more advanced than ordinary illusion domains. Stepping into the Myriad Manifestations Domain was almost the same as entering the gates of death. Within the domain, every step held killing intent, and danger lurked everywhere. The slightest carelessness meant eternal ruin, with not even bones left behind. It truly was myriad manifestations, with ten thousand ghosts singing lament.
So if Yimu wanted to eliminate them, she did not need to appear herself. She only needed to move the power of the domain. Forget that Huixue had already fallen asleep. Even if ten Mu Yinfengs and Huixues joined hands, they might not have the slightest chance of winning inside Yimu’s Myriad Manifestations Domain.
No wonder such a huge commotion here had not disturbed the powerful figures on Yongmu Peak. Once the Myriad Manifestations Domain descended, no one outside the domain could see what was happening inside it.
Mu Yinfeng carefully opened the bottle and poured out one pill. The pill was crystal-clear emerald green all over, like a tiny gem, glimmering faintly under the moon.
It seemed Yimu truly loved green down to her bones. Mu Yinfeng looked at the tiny pill and could not help sighing.
Now Huixue was asleep, and this was a pill. How was Mu Yinfeng supposed to make Huixue take it? In an instant, all the safety accidents she had heard of before transmigrating, children choking after swallowing hard objects, flashed through her mind. Mu Yinfeng hesitated.
How to make Huixue take the medicine. This was a problem.
