The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 20

Although Mu Yinfeng had always tried every possible way to get close to Huixue, when Huixue truly lay before her and could be arranged however she wished, Mu Yinfeng did not know what to do.
All this time, Huixue’s image in her heart had been that of a flower on a high peak. Even a little closeness was enough to make her wildly excited. But now Huixue was sleeping in front of her. Mu Yinfeng could do anything she wanted. Yet the moment that thought appeared in her mind, her heart could not help trembling.
Mu Yinfeng set the jade bottle aside and knelt on the ground, studying Huixue’s face by moonlight. Huixue’s long lashes covered her eyelids, flawless and white, as if they had been formed from frost and snow. The light of the frost-snow mark on her forehead had dimmed quite a bit, flashing evenly with her breathing. Every inch of her skin was smooth and delicate like silk, soft and elastic. Mu Yinfeng had just stretched out her hand and touched Huixue’s face when she immediately pulled back as if she had touched a hot iron.
She should not do this. Huixue would not like it.
If she wanted to win Huixue’s heart, she should do it openly and properly, not by using this kind of method. A flower on a high peak was meant to be cherished, not lightly profaned. There was another matter that had always been hard for her to speak of. In emotional relationships or positions, she had always been the passive one. She really could not imagine what she would be like if she took the initiative.
Thinking of this, Mu Yinfeng steadied herself and piously placed her hands in front of her. Her left hand held the pill. Spiritual energy flashed gently in her palm, and the pill was crushed into emerald powder. Then she softly called Tianbing. Tianbing seemed not to realize what she wanted to do and dawdled, refusing to come over. In the end, Mu Yinfeng had no choice but to directly drag Tianbing over, grab one corner of it, shake out a small piece of ice, and quickly place the ice in her palm, warming it with her body heat until it melted.
The melted medicine was emerald green. It was not thick, and it did not flow randomly. It gave off the fresh fragrance of plants and trees, without the usual bitterness of pills. Mu Yinfeng gently pried open Huixue’s lips and carefully poured the medicine into Huixue’s mouth.
Huixue’s lips were cool and soft, like a piece of jelly. Mu Yinfeng could faintly smell the fragrance of lip rouge. So even someone like Huixue wore makeup when she went out? Although Mu Yinfeng had already removed the necklace and suppressed every possible emotion to an extremely low level, she still felt as if a ball of fire was jumping up and down in her heart. She could not help blushing, so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Although she had never touched another person’s lips before, and this time was out of necessity, Mu Yinfeng still could not help wondering what would happen if she tasted them. What was Huixue’s lip rouge made from? It really smelled good.
Just as Mu Yinfeng’s thoughts wandered, she suddenly saw Huixue’s lashes tremble. She quickly retreated, not daring to look directly at Huixue. She could only secretly glance at her from the side.
Yimu’s medicine truly worked immediately. Through the torn sleeve, Mu Yinfeng could see the black energy around the wound on Huixue’s shoulder gradually scatter. The scrape on her skin also slowly healed, soon returning to its original smoothness. If not for the small amount of dried blood still staining her shoulder, it would look as if nothing had ever happened.
“Yinfeng?” Huixue opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She only remembered feeling sleepier and sleepier as she ran down the mountain. In the end, her mind grew more and more sluggish. She could not even move her feet and fell straight into a long dream.
The difference between dreams and reality was that, in dreams, one could do many things one could not do in reality. Dreams belonged to oneself. They were more unrestrained than reality, and they revealed the true thoughts inside one’s heart more clearly.
Were her true thoughts really like they had been in the dream?
Huixue bit her lip lightly with her white teeth. After walking out of that dream, facing Mu Yinfeng again made her uneasy. Although Mu Yinfeng knew nothing, Huixue still felt as if she owed Mu Yinfeng something, as if she had secretly done something bad in the dark.
Doing such bad things in secret was actually… actually not something that made her very uncomfortable. Huixue blushed faintly. Fortunately, night covered her, so Mu Yinfeng did not see the change in her expression.
“Senior Sister, let us go back.” Seeing that Huixue sat up and then did not move, as if thinking about something, Mu Yinfeng quickly said, “Yimu has already left. It is safe here now.”
Huixue’s pitch suddenly rose. “Yimu came?”
It was rare for Mu Yinfeng to see Huixue so shocked. She quickly walked over, crouched down, and gently wrapped an arm around Huixue’s shoulder, wanting to help her up. The moment she touched Huixue, that faint fragrance circled her nose again, making her uncontrollably remember that jelly-like softness and coolness.
“She came. But she left and did not make things difficult for us.” Mu Yinfeng quickly closed her eyes so she would not look at Huixue. She felt that as long as she met Huixue’s eyes, she might drown in Huixue’s gaze.
She did not plan to tell Huixue what had happened just now. There were too many doubts around Yimu, tangled and unclear. From Yimu’s words and actions, Mu Yinfeng felt it was better not to drag Huixue in as well. She did not want Huixue to die by her hand, and of course she did not want Huixue to die by anyone else’s hand either.
“Safe?” Huixue murmured to herself. She had heard rumors about Yimu. Yimu was publicly recognized in the cultivation world as the person no one wanted to provoke most.
She remembered that in the previous life, Huixue had extraordinary talent and was already an outstanding figure among cultivators at a young age. Even so, she had not had the qualifications to exchange blows with Yimu. She had originally thought Yimu was only giving them a warning this time, but she had not expected Yimu to truly appear before Mu Yinfeng, and yet not attack Mu Yinfeng or herself. This did not make sense at all.
“It is safe. Senior Sister, do not be afraid.” Mu Yinfeng thought Huixue was still thinking about Yimu and comforted her softly. “Let us go down. Yongmu Peak is full of danger, and there are too many uncertain things. If we stay here, I fear we will attract unnecessary trouble.”
Huixue nodded and stood. “Let us go down the mountain.”
Then she raised one hand and snapped her fingers softly. A snow-white cat appeared from somewhere and jumped onto Mu Yinfeng’s shoulder, swatting Mu Yinfeng’s hand with one paw.
“Chuying, do not be rude.” Although Huixue said this, she still gently pulled Mu Yinfeng’s hand away. Mu Yinfeng felt Huixue seem to pause before letting go of her hand. “This is Chuying, my life-bound spirit beast.”
A spirit beast? How could such a cute cat be a dangerous spirit beast?
Mu Yinfeng could not help leaning closer, wanting to touch the white cat’s head. But every strand of the white cat’s fur rose. It bared its teeth and claws and refused to let Mu Yinfeng touch even a finger to it.
“She is different from Tianbing. Do not look at her like this now. Her true form is a white tiger, and she is very possessive.” Huixue gently stroked Chuying’s fur. Mu Yinfeng felt as if Huixue smiled at her. “So she has never wanted to see you. Every time she sees you, she throws a terrible temper.”
