The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 45

Huixue did not answer. She only looked at her quietly, as if she wanted to carve Mu Yinfeng’s entire person into her sea of consciousness.
“What does Senior Sister hope I will be?” Mu Yinfeng sighed softly. “If Senior Sister wants me to become someone, then I will be that person.”
“Just be yourself.” Huixue seemed to make a very difficult decision. Tianbing softened and slowly pulled away from Mu Yinfeng’s body.
“Be myself?” Mu Yinfeng did not seem to fully understand Huixue’s meaning. She lowered her eyes and twisted her hands tightly together. “Does Senior Sister think I can truly become myself?”
In this world, everyone needed their own means of survival in order to live. They also had to avoid the slander and greed of the people around them. Mu Yinfeng knew clearly that the cultivation world was not much cleaner than her original world. In essence, both were worlds where the strong ate the weak. It was only that the cultivation world openly displayed this tradition in the most naked way.
She had a primordial yin body. This constitution, which greatly aided others’ cultivation, was enough to make her an object everyone wanted to touch. The current Hanyou Valley could shelter her for a while. But in the cultivation world, there were not a few people like Juechenzi and Jia Rong of Yongmu Peak, who coveted her.
Now, Mu Yinfeng faintly understood some of Lord Lanfeng’s mind. In a situation where one could be forced by others into becoming a cultivation vessel, sometimes it was better to take the initiative and try to control the fate of all living beings.
With Lord Lanfeng’s vision and strength, she probably would not truly have become like that for the sake of one Chang Zui, right? Lord Lanfeng’s acting had truly been enough to deceive heaven and cross the sea. Besides, what was seen in the book was only a paper-thin surface.
According to Lord Lanfeng, she and Lord Lanfeng were the same person in different worlds under the three thousand worlds. Did that mean one day, she would walk the same path as Lord Lanfeng?
Mu Yinfeng glanced at Huixue. Huixue’s appearance was clear and cold, with a noble, dustless air. If nothing unexpected happened and Mu Yinfeng truly became the future Lord Lanfeng, then a battle with Huixue should be unavoidable.
But one thing still puzzled her. The current Huixue should not know that she would have the title Lord Lanfeng. Why had Huixue casually spoken of something from the future?
“Our snow woman clan has the ability to sense the future. Seeing this much is not hard.” Seeing Mu Yinfeng’s expression shift from discomfort to suspicion, Huixue secretly considered what she had just said and discovered she had said something she should not have while being careless. The current her could not possibly know the term Lord Lanfeng. She could only use her clan background as an excuse. Fortunately, the snow woman clan rarely appeared in the world, and people did not know what strange talents snow women had besides controlling ice and snow.
“What does Senior Sister want me to do?” Mu Yinfeng lowered her eyes. Her ten fingers twisted together, and the misty yin energy around her gradually grew denser. She was guarding herself. If Huixue wanted to personally execute her, she could not simply let herself be captured.
She was no longer like when she had first arrived. At first, she truly had the thought that she could sacrifice everything for Huixue, but not now. If she was Mu Yinfeng, then naturally she would not care about these things. But after she learned that she and Lord Lanfeng were originally one person, she felt she should do something, instead of living on like this.
Although Lord Lanfeng had not told her in words, Mu Yinfeng could see clearly from Lord Lanfeng’s eyes that there had to be hidden truths behind what happened back then, and not just a few.
There were two known doubts. First was Yimu’s confusing attitude toward her. She had thought Yimu would hate her to the bone, but she had not expected Yimu to pass her the blood vine. The blood vine had let her retreat whole from her duel with Jian Shu. Looking at it this way, Yimu had actually saved her life. If Yimu truly had unforgettable hatred with her, this made no sense at all. Second was the Yin-Yang Reversal Array. Yin and yang reversed, a body offered as sacrifice, waiting for an old friend to return. Who exactly was Lord Lanfeng protecting?
Could that old friend be Huixue?
Impossible. If Huixue truly was someone who had returned through Yin-Yang Reversal, Mu Yinfeng guessed Huixue would not even wait to ask who had sent her back. She would probably decide Mu Yinfeng’s life and death the first time she saw her.
A faint pain came from Mu Yinfeng’s arm. She felt a chill rise through her body and suddenly remembered that day when Tianbing had wrapped around her like a venomous snake. Ice spikes had pierced into her body in an instant, without hesitation, ruthless and decisive.
At that time, she had indeed sensed Huixue’s killing intent. If not for her primordial yin body having natural resistance to all kinds of poison, even a hundred of her would have died under Huixue’s cold poison.
“Promise me three things.” Huixue reached out. After hesitating for a moment, she still cupped Mu Yinfeng’s face, making Mu Yinfeng look at her.
The girl’s fragrant skin was delicate and smooth, even softer than the finest silk, full everywhere of youth’s vitality and beauty. Huixue was dazed for a moment. Only then did she realize she had never touched Mu Yinfeng before. She had not even known that the face of a demoness like Mu Yinfeng would be this warm and soft.
She had once thought everything about Mu Yinfeng would be cold, because Mu Yinfeng’s face always carried that enchanting and seductive false smile, like a carefully carved statue beauty. Gorgeous, stiff, and without any living force.
“What does Senior Sister want me to promise?” Mu Yinfeng looked into her eyes. Her red lips opened slightly. Her peaceful tone made Huixue feel, for a moment, that no matter what Huixue said, Mu Yinfeng would agree.
How could she have such a thought? How could she not know Mu Yinfeng’s outstanding acting? Back then, beneath this charming smile, who knew how many living beings had suffered, and how many people had lost their homes forever? A pair of beautiful eyes was often more dangerous than the sharpest spears and swords. When the most beautiful eyes combined with the sharpest weapons, that danger went without saying.
Although Huixue thought this, she could not help sincerely admiring that Mu Yinfeng was truly peerlessly beautiful. A person like this could drive others with beauty enough to topple a city, yet she still relied on her cultivation. Although strength was honored in the cultivation world, if such beauty and bones of desire stood before someone, who could still keep self-control?
Huixue barely calmed herself. “First, you must promise me that from now on, you will not touch the Changyin pipa or the blood vine. These extremely yin and evil things affect your nature quite badly.”
“Changyin’s strings are broken, and the blood vine is not under my control… Senior Sister, do not worry. Since they harm my nature, I will not use them again unless I have no other choice.” Mu Yinfeng nodded. Her voice was gentle, without any sign of objection. After all, she had already obtained the Linglong Heart Method and the Severing Love sword art. She still had enough power to protect herself.
“Second, you cannot have any more dealings with Chang Zui. Even if you love him deeply, you must cut off that thought.”
Mu Yinfeng smiled bitterly. She wanted that too, but would this worldview allow it?
As long as it was a mission in the plot where Chang Zui should participate, if she tried to skip Chang Zui, this worldview would definitely keep causing trouble and force her to bring Chang Zui along.
Seeing Mu Yinfeng hesitate without answering, Huixue also wondered whether she was asking too much. After all, she knew how obsessed Mu Yinfeng was with Chang Zui. Even if Huixue tried hard to stop her, she could not prevent Mu Yinfeng from bringing Chang Zui along on missions.
“If…” Huixue had just started to say something when Mu Yinfeng immediately interrupted her.
“Senior Sister, no matter what you saw, I can only say one thing. I have no romantic feelings for Chang Zui. I treat him this way only to repay the kindness he showed me.” Mu Yinfeng chose her words carefully. Although she knew clearly that she liked Senior Sister, she always felt this was something shameful to say aloud, as if saying it would stain Huixue’s jade-like purity.
Mu Yinfeng slowly raised one hand and caught Huixue’s wrist. In the past, she might have asked, “Is it because Senior Sister likes me that she does not want to see me like this?” But now, she could not ask such words.
Whenever she thought of these feelings, as soon as even a little warmth rose, she immediately felt as if a thin layer of ice covered the bottom of her heart, extinguishing every flame of passion. It left her no way to say these things aloud.
“That is how it is, Senior Sister.” Mu Yinfeng removed a large stretch of words from the middle and continued calmly looking into Huixue’s eyes. The yin energy rippling around her grew denser.
Her control over yin energy had always been poor. Without the jeweled necklace’s seal restraining it, as long as her emotions stirred even slightly, this extreme primordial yin spiritual energy would leak out unconsciously. This easily attracted those who coveted girls of primordial yin, like distant hunters smelling prey.
“Good.” Huixue released Mu Yinfeng’s face and took out a black jeweled necklace covered in dirt. Spiritual light flashed in Huixue’s palm, and the jeweled necklace magically returned to its original state. She carefully tied it around Mu Yinfeng’s neck. Although this was Reed Snow Residence in Hanyou Valley, it was hard to guarantee no one would covet Mu Yinfeng.
“This is the third thing. Do not casually take off the jeweled necklace, even during battle.” Huixue’s fingertips brushed Mu Yinfeng’s snow-white neck. Where her nail accidentally scraped, it left a shallow red mark, like frost tears dyed red, like the remaining trace of rouge, especially beautiful.
“But the jeweled necklace seals my spiritual energy. If so, how can I…”
Although the Linglong Heart Method and mental power could still be used under the necklace’s seal, both clearly leaned more toward support, not direct battle.
“If you are beside me, I do not need you to fight.” Huixue quickly withdrew her hand. She feared that if she touched that snow-white, sensitive skin one more time, she would sink completely. Then she asked the same question as before, and even she did not notice this. “Yinfeng, do you believe me?”
