The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 39

“What is this place?” Chang Zui steadied himself and looked at the rows of tall buildings before him. He was truly shocked. These buildings were not supported by spirit stones. In his understanding, even Guiyuan Tower, called the number one wonder of the cultivation world, did not have such a grand sight.
“This is probably a parallel projection of the three thousand worlds.” Huixue raised her eyes and glanced at Mu Yinfeng. “Yinfeng, have you been to this place before?”
Mu Yinfeng hurriedly denied it.
“If you have not, then where did this world come from?” Huixue pondered. “The dream ghosts’ five-element domain recreates and recalls past events one is least willing to mention. It cannot come from nowhere.”
Mu Yinfeng hooked her fingers tightly around Huixue’s hand. Her fingertips were icy cold and covered with a thin layer of cold sweat. Fortunately, Huixue’s hands were naturally extremely cold, so she did not notice Mu Yinfeng’s abnormal state.
This was the school she had attended before transmigrating, one of the places she feared most in her life.
Her original world had been an apocalypse world with special abilities, but she had no ability at all.
Or rather, her ability had mysteriously disappeared overnight. By then, she had already entered an ability academy. In that age of strict secrecy, if she left the ability academy, it meant she would be captured and interrogated by enemy nations, or directly silenced by the higher-ups.
If she wanted to live, she could only become stronger than her classmates. Not by ability, but by hand-to-hand combat.
This was also why she could adapt so quickly to the cultivation world. If she did not adapt, there was only a dead end. But if someone asked how she trained her fighting skills… that was the nightmare she would never escape in this life.
A person walked toward them. He had blond hair, blue eyes, a large hooked nose, and a sloppy suit. Seeing him, Mu Yinfeng gripped Huixue’s hand tightly.
“You are afraid.” Huixue held her hand in return. “What are you afraid of?”
Huixue had once understood a little about parallel projections of the three thousand worlds. Sometimes, when the movements of heaven and earth were too great, they could tear time and space apart. At that time, the gates of the three thousand worlds would open. People of this world could project into another world, and people of another world could also cross the flood of time to arrive here. Only the legendary heavenly gods could stand above this, overlooking the three thousand worlds and controlling the lives and deaths of all beings.
“I am not afraid.” Mu Yinfeng said softly.
She knew she was lying, but right now, there was no other way. Even after coming to Huixue’s side, the fleeting shadows of this world could still touch the fear buried deepest in her heart.
Most importantly, she did not want Huixue to see, did not want Huixue to see how humble and wretched she had been back then.
She had been like a ruined flower drifting in the muddiest swamp, covered in dust and filth, yet powerless to escape.
“The three thousand worlds?” Mu Yinfeng asked softly. She recognized the person before her. He was a nightmare from her original world, the dean of her academy, and the person she feared most.
Mu Yinfeng lowered her head and only then discovered that the black Daoist robe on her body had turned into a blue-green school uniform. Huixue wore a white school uniform, while Chang Zui wore a red one.
Departments divided according to ability type? This familiar texture of cloth, and the familiar emptiness inside her body, the feeling of both spiritual energy and abilities leaving her far behind, were exactly the same as the past.
The hook-nosed man glanced at Mu Yinfeng and sneered. His tone was high and condescending, even more arrogant than Chang Zui’s. “Mu Yinfeng, what are you standing there for? Get over here. If you dare run again this time, just see how I deal with you!”
Outside Qionglin Town, one of the two people watching the battle suddenly stood. The blood vine in her hand glowed with piercing red light. A scream came, and an old man rolled out from the grass.
The old man did not dare say anything else. He only knelt on the ground and knocked his head like pounding garlic. “Lord Yimu, do we truly have to do this? Something changed inside. I am afraid…”
“A change?” Yimu waved her sleeve. Spiritual current surged and lifted the old man to his feet. “What change?”
“A reflection that does not belong to this world appeared inside. I fear it comes from another world. Miss Yinfeng may not be able to endure it.” The old man did not dare raise his head. His whole body trembled until it became a ghostly blur. “Lord Yimu, do you still want to continue? If the first turn of the five elements is stopped now, it is still possible. But if it reaches the second turn, forcing it to stop will cause irreversible harm to Miss Yinfeng.”
Yimu turned her wrist, and the blood vine returned to her hand. She clenched her fist tightly. Several threads of blood flowed down between her fingers and fell onto the soil, flowers, and leaves. In an instant, all the surrounding plants withered.
“Yimu, stop. Is it really worth it for the blood vine?” The small, delicate person beside her softly stopped her.
“Continue.”
“What?” The old man and the young woman were both startled by Yimu’s words.
“Continue.” Yimu gave the order mechanically. “The more unbearable the memories, the easier it is to force her to master the blood vine.”
“The blood vine is not something she must master. The Changyin pipa is also…”
Yimu’s gaze was icy. The two people beside her both fell silent, not daring to speak.
“The Changyin pipa is still not enough.” Yimu said lightly, “If she cannot comprehend the blood vine, she will never become my opponent. Clan leader, ask the five elders to continue. If anything goes wrong, the fault is not yours.”
At that moment, the bright moonlight in the sky dimmed ominously.
“Someone?” Yimu instinctively stepped forward and protected the two behind her. Her eyes moved slightly, and the blood vine shot out like a tongue of flame. At the same time, Myriad Manifestations spread out instantly.
But just then, it was as if something soft slammed Myriad Manifestations back. Not only did Myriad Manifestations become abnormal, even her blood vine seemed affected. She felt something grab the other end of the blood vine, as if trying to wrest it away from her.
Who was so bold?
Yimu slowly raised her eyes. Reflected in her eyes was a tall, thin figure. The other end of the blood vine was held in that person’s hand. A faint sense of danger spread through her heart.
“Long time no see.”
“It is you?”
“Of course it is me.” The uninvited guest laughed softly. “Seeing you again is a great honor.”
“You know this person?” When Huixue heard that strange person call Mu Yinfeng’s name, she looked at Mu Yinfeng questioningly.
Mu Yinfeng looked at Huixue’s eyes. The denial she had wanted to say was swallowed back. She nodded lightly.
“You seem very afraid of this person?” Huixue asked softly, reaching out to pull her into her arms. “Did he bully you?”
“No,” Mu Yinfeng said quietly. “But as long as he is killed, everything will be solved.”
Although she could keep her voice calm, she could not hide her emotions. She could feel her whole body trembling, trembling as she shrank in Huixue’s arms. Forget killing that person. She did not even have the strength to lift her hand.
Was she really this afraid of him?
Mu Yinfeng’s face was snow-white. Before her eyes appeared rows of bloody organs and white bones. Beside her ears, she could still hear endless pained groans.
Although Mu Yinfeng’s voice was low, the man still heard what she said. He laughed darkly. “Mu Yinfeng, you want to kill me? Do not forget, you once…”
At that moment, a sobbing flute sound came beside them. Then a sharp scream covered it. Countless green threads pierced the man’s body, splashing blood all over Mu Yinfeng.
His eyes were wide open, glaring fiercely at Mu Yinfeng, as if Mu Yinfeng were his prey. Whether alive or dead, she was his trophy.
“No matter what… you cannot escape… my palm…”
“He does not look hard to deal with.” Chang Zui put away his jade flute, stepped forward, and stomped on the man several times. “What exactly is this place? Who exactly is he?”
Mu Yinfeng’s face was still white as snow. She stared at the face of the person lying in the dust and said in a trembling voice, “He will get up again.”
For some reason, she felt this person would not die. He would still come find her. Sure enough, even after escaping from that world, she still saw this nightmare.
The person who made her wake in cold sweat whenever she dreamed at midnight.
She knew he was not someone who would die so easily.
Sure enough, the man slowly stood from the dust, covered in bloody holes, and walked slowly toward Mu Yinfeng.
“Teacher Ruote.” Cold light flashed from Mu Yinfeng’s storage ring, and Severing Love appeared directly in her hand.
“Yinfeng?” Huixue rarely saw Mu Yinfeng use Severing Love and was truly shocked. The number of times Huixue herself used Liufei was already limited, and the number of times Mu Yinfeng used Severing Love could be counted on one hand. If she had not once seen Severing Love leave its sheath, she would truly suspect Severing Love in Mu Yinfeng’s hand was only an ornament.
The hand holding the sword trembled. Mu Yinfeng took a deep breath and poured yin energy from her palm into it. Terrifying yin energy surged from her body, so dense that the entire world darkened by one shade.
Although she had already fallen into deep fear, instinctive muscle memory could not change. She pushed Huixue away and quickly flashed far backward, putting distance between herself and the person before her.
“Still alive? What luck.” Chang Zui refused to believe it. He had just wanted to play the jade flute again and summon the green threads from earlier, but the moment he played the first note, the jade flute was knocked away again.
“Yinfeng’s heart demon can only be broken by her alone. There is no need for you to make trouble.” Huixue said coldly, “If you do not want Yinfeng to die now, you had better stop.”
She also withdrew to the side and quietly watched the battle.
Dream ghosts searched out the things people feared most deep in their hearts and magnified them. No matter who one was, there would be shadows of varying depths in the heart. There were three of them now, so there would be five nightmares. The dream ghosts would choose the most terrifying nightmares from among many and recreate them. Only when the person in the nightmare broke the nightmare could this domain be broken. If one released domain suppression at the very beginning of the domain, the nightmares could be avoided. But she was still one step too late.
However, deep inside, she also had a hidden thought. She wanted to see what she feared most, and she wanted to see what Mu Yinfeng feared most.
She had always thought that someone like Mu Yinfeng would not fear anything. But now she discovered she was wrong. Someone like Mu Yinfeng also had fear, and could fear something so much that she could not hide it before others.
Only now did she discover that Mu Yinfeng liked to hide her own feelings. In Huixue’s memories, she could only remember Mu Yinfeng’s expressionless coldness and her half-smiling enchanting beauty. Neither of these was Mu Yinfeng’s true emotion.
“You… cannot kill me… In the end, I will… get you…” The man’s voice was hoarse. He licked his lips, and threads of blood flowed down. Endless desire was hidden in his voice.
“That bastard! Senior Sister, do not stop me. I will go kill him!” Chang Zui could not endure it and shouted angrily.
“If you go, you will only make Mu Yinfeng suffer worse!” Huixue sealed Chang Zui’s acupoints again with several silver needles. Another silver needle was pinched between her fingers. She looked at the man, then finally lowered her hand.
Now was not the time to act on anger. She knew that.
At that moment, the yin energy rolling between heaven and earth grew denser. Dark clouds surged overhead, pressing extremely low and dark, as if they were about to crash to the ground.
In the place where the black energy was thickest stood a figure. A black wooden sword was held firmly in her hand. Nearby lay a scabbard.
Severing Love had left its sheath.
