The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 38

Because of her primordial yin constitution, as long as a domain touched her blood, it should be corroded extremely quickly, even collapsing without attack. Yet now, her blood had no effect at all on this combination domain.
This combination domain seemed only Earth-grade. It could not have reached Heaven-grade. Back then, even Butterfly Spirit’s domain had collapsed without attack as soon as it was stained with her blood. Compared with Butterfly Spirit’s illusion realm, this domain before her was like earth compared to sky. How could it not be affected by her extreme yin blood?
Mu Yinfeng refused to believe it. She rolled up her sleeve and slashed hard across her arm with her fingernail. Blood immediately surged out and seeped into the gold-woven carpet, leaving behind a dark bloodstain.
It seemed the opponent’s cultivation in illusions was outstanding. The domain’s realism could reach this level. Even virtual realms used for disciple training might have difficulty reaching such a standard.
If so, why did the solid creations inside the illusion not dare fight her at all? Mu Yinfeng had entered virtual realms several times before. The solid creations in those virtual realms would avoid her spiritual energy, but they would not dodge it with such fear.
Judging only from appearances, these two sides’ cultivation levels did not match at all. Could it be…
Them?
“Miss Huixue, do you know what we are thinking right now?” The young dream ghost had a bitter face. He did not dare let Huixue leave, but with Huixue standing before them, the pressure on him only grew greater, so naturally no smile could appear on his face.
Huixue raised her eyes, seeming to ask.
“That junior sister of yours is acting too… She started by bleeding herself. I do not even know whether the dream ghost family should thank her or hate her.”
“Bleeding herself?” Huixue’s gaze sharpened. “She is injured?”
The young dream ghost was so frightened by Huixue’s gaze that he almost retreated. He had already been floating in the air, and in his fright, he lost balance and rolled several times before stabilizing himself. “No, no, no. Nothing happened, nothing happened. We dream ghosts know our limits when we act.”
He was truly afraid that in a fit of anger, Huixue would tear apart the dream ghosts’ entire nest. Huixue’s gaze just now had given him a feeling close to death.
“I will go look.” Although Huixue had always known that dream ghosts acted steadily, and with these dream ghosts’ strength, they could not cause Mu Yinfeng any real harm, she still felt restless.
“Miss Huixue, please stay. The dream ghosts’ five-element domain is about to change. It will change five times. Each time will show what lies deepest in the heart’s fear, and the degree of fear will increase layer by layer.” The young female dream ghost stopped her. “The first change is about to begin. Miss Huixue had better not go in.”
“Why?”
“Miss Huixue’s heart demon…” The young female dream ghost lowered her eyes slightly. Suddenly, she reached out and pointed at Huixue’s forehead. At the same time, the ice-blue frost-snow mark lit up. Huixue’s face changed abruptly. When she looked at the young woman, her eyes were already full of deep sorrow.
“You dream ghosts truly have talent for these things.”
“Miss Huixue flatters us.” The young female dream ghost said softly, “This is something every dream ghost must cultivate. If we cannot judge and see where the heart demon lies, what use would the five-element domain have?”
“Stimulating potential through deep fear. Your client is truly not an ordinary person.” A name flashed through Huixue’s mind, but she was still not certain. “Could this person be Martial Uncle Shadow?”
Ruoying was especially close to Mu Yinfeng, and her care for Mu Yinfeng had gone beyond the limit of a martial uncle toward a martial niece. Also, Ruoying never acted according to normal logic. She could even take Mu Yinfeng across levels to face the Heaven-grade Jian Shu, so finding dream ghosts to train Mu Yinfeng was not impossible.
But Ruoying had not had time to find dream ghosts, and during the period when Guiyuan Tower came to rate the matter, Ruoying had stayed in Hanyou Valley the whole time and had not taken even half a step outside.
“Immortal Master Ruoying?”
As expected, when the young man and woman heard this name, they looked at each other and smiled, then shook their heads together. “It is not her, but that is already very close.”
Dream ghosts!
Mu Yinfeng finally thought of this strange race.
The dream ghost line was an oddity among ghosts. Dream ghosts did not absorb spiritual energy from people. Instead, they absorbed the essence of heaven and earth from spirit stones, so they were very harmless to humans and animals.
But there were reasons dream ghosts were so harmless. First, most of this race were clean freaks and did not want to be stained by human turbidity. Second, dream ghosts were truly too weak. If they had no time to set up a five-element combination domain, even Chang Zui could wipe out their whole nest.
So the dream ghost family chose to cooperate with humans and work for certain sects in the cultivation world. They set up domains and allowed young disciples to enter for trials. Through this, they earned enough spirit stones to survive and improve their cultivation.
“What exactly are you trying to do?” Chang Zui was somewhat impatient. In his life, he had never thought highly of Mu Yinfeng. If Mu Yinfeng did not have a primordial yin constitution, he would never have bothered winning her over. In the past, Mu Yinfeng had at least been soft and obedient to him, so he could only accept it. But now, Mu Yinfeng’s resistance was growing more and more intense. He had no need to keep indulging her.
Thinking this, anger suddenly surged in his heart, and he rushed straight over to strike Mu Yinfeng.
Mu Yinfeng did not dodge at all. Spiritual energy moved darkly in her palm. As long as Chang Zui dared touch her, the extreme yin energy in her palm would immediately be injected into his body. At that time, even if Chang Zui did not die, he would be crippled for life.
“What are you doing?”
An icy rebuke suddenly came beside her ear. A white silk shot out from somewhere and tightly wrapped around Chang Zui’s wrist.
The moment Mu Yinfeng saw the white silk, she knew who had come. She raised her eyes and looked. Her sight suddenly brightened. A snow-white figure seemed to shine in the night, slowly walking toward her.
“Senior Sister?” Mu Yinfeng withdrew the yin energy in her palm. Joy and sorrow mingled in her heart. She crossed the distance in a few quick steps and threw herself toward Huixue.
She was very clear-headed now. She believed Huixue would not ignore a little junior sister who had just been bullied.
Was this the only way she could win a little pity from Huixue?
Mu Yinfeng sighed inwardly. She had never thought she could lower herself into the dust for one person, so low that even she could not believe it.
So every step of her planning was carefully calculated. Be obedient when she should be obedient, charmingly foolish when she should be charmingly foolish, and the moment the other person’s mood was wrong, stop in time, no matter what she had been doing before.
“Yinfeng, do not be afraid. I am here.” Huixue struggled once, but still allowed Mu Yinfeng to hug her. However, she let Mu Yinfeng hug her for only one breath before immediately separating her. “Yinfeng, I will take you away now.”
“Senior Sister knows how to break the domain?” Mu Yinfeng raised her eyes and asked.
Her eyes were black and bright, filled entirely with Huixue’s reflection, as if Huixue were her whole world.
“I know.” Huixue raised her hand, and flying snow filled the sky. “When the ice-snow domain forms, the five-element domain will shatter.”
Domain suppression was also useful against combination domains. Unfortunately, Mu Yinfeng now had no spiritual artifact support, so she had no way to release such a large primordial yin domain.
Tianbing returned to Huixue’s waist, but this time, Tianbing firmly bound the two of them together.
“Do not be afraid. I will take you out right away.” Huixue repeated the same words again.
The wind and snow grew wilder. Large silver-white snowflakes fell inside Huanhua Pavilion. Heaven and earth turned bright and white. All sounds disappeared, and the world returned to silence.
It was so quiet that Mu Yinfeng could hear Huixue’s heartbeat. Whether because of overexertion or some other reason, Huixue’s heartbeat seemed faster and more chaotic than usual.
But just as the wind and snow were about to cover all of Qionglin Town, heaven and earth suddenly changed color. In an instant, the wind and snow vanished completely.
What appeared before Mu Yinfeng’s eyes was… a sports field painted in five colors, and a teaching building with red bricks and gray tiles.
“I said Miss Huixue could not go in. Now I am afraid the client will blame us.” The young female dream ghost before the dream ghost tomb said quietly. “There are only five changes. Each catches the five places the people inside fear most. And once it starts, it cannot be reversed at all. Now that it is like this, what should we do?”
“Miss Huixue going in was her own choice.” The young man laughed awkwardly. “What are you afraid of? Could Miss Huixue inside really…”
“Can you not see Miss Huixue’s heart demon?” The young woman’s voice was somewhat stern. “You have worked as a guiding dream ghost for so many years. How can you fail to see something this simple? There are clearly yin and yang marks standing behind Miss Huixue. There is only one possibility for that.”
“What possibility?”
“The Yin-Yang Reversal Array.” The young woman had always been serious, and now she looked even more gloomy and heavy. “Only the Yin-Yang Reversal Array can create one yin mark and one yang mark. In other words, Miss Huixue is actually someone who returned.”
“Someone who returned? What does that matter?” The young man did not care at all. But seeing the young woman’s seriousness, he felt it would not be good to treat this as a joke, so his attitude became slightly more proper. “Could a returned person’s heart demon be heavier? It should not be that serious, right?”
“Perhaps you are right. A returned person’s heart demon is heavier. But have you thought about why Miss Huixue is a returned person? Have you thought about who made Miss Huixue return through the Yin-Yang Reversal Array? If the person presiding over the Yin-Yang Reversal Array is not more than ten times stronger than Miss Huixue, there is no way to make the array succeed. With Miss Huixue’s cultivation, someone more than ten times stronger than her is simply beyond the range of what humans can reach.”
The young man narrowed his eyes and leaped onto a nearby tree. Looking down at the young woman from above, he laughed softly. “Of course it can succeed. There has been a precedent before.”
This time, it was the young woman’s turn to be confused. “A precedent?”
“The person presiding over the array paid the price of having their soul scattered, using the power of their soul as the sacrifice. This is the contract for setting an array beyond one’s level.” The young man’s voice was especially solemn. He raised his head toward the crescent moon above the ancient tombs and barren graves, then bowed slightly in salute. “The precedent is that one in the heavens. That heavenly one probably would not expect that this array now has a successor. If I am fortunate enough to meet this person, it would be the highest honor of my life.”
