The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 6

What was going on?
Mu Yinfeng looked at the Butterfly Goddess statue and, for a moment, could not bring herself to act. She vaguely felt that the matter of the Butterfly Goddess was not simple.
When mental power reached a certain strength, one’s perception of outside things would sometimes become sharper, eventually reaching the state of unity between heaven and self. What one sensed was often the future course of events. After reaching a certain level, it became the legendary word-spirit power.
And word-spirit power was one of Mu Yinfeng’s trump cards after she developed further. As long as someone’s mental power was below hers, they had no way to escape the confinement of her word-spirit power. And there were very few people whose mental power was higher than hers.
The current Mu Yinfeng was far from reaching the word-spirit level. Still, she could already faintly sense future danger. With this Butterfly Goddess statue looking so much like her, that feeling was like a blurry shadow reflected in her heart. She could not see its whole shape, but she could clearly judge that the feeling truly existed. It was not a frightened guess.
The true body of the Changyin Pearl was embedded in one of the Butterfly Goddess’s eyes. A barrier guarded it, and there was a teleportation array inside this Butterfly Goddess Temple. Once someone touched the Changyin Pearl, the Butterfly Spirit would quickly hurry back to protect it.
Mu Yinfeng looked up at the Butterfly Goddess’s eye and still decided to obtain the Changyin Pearl first. After the bone pipa obtained the Changyin Pearl, it would make a great leap forward. At that point, she would not have to worry about lacking the strength to protect herself.
Her decision made, Mu Yinfeng focused her mind and was just about to circulate her power and ride the wind upward when she suddenly realized something very serious. If she could circulate her power right now, would that not be openly telling Huixue that nothing was wrong with her? Tianbing and Huixue were linked in mind, and Tianbing had followed Huixue for so long. It was obvious who was closer to whom. Tianbing would definitely run off and tattle. If that happened, would Huixue think Mu Yinfeng had deceived her feelings?
What should she do? Mu Yinfeng pondered it, and only then did she discover that Huixue no longer needed her to send the three-dimensional image. She had focused too hard on the Changyin Pearl just now and had not even noticed when Huixue closed off her sea of consciousness.
If not for the Changyin Pearl, she would not have risked entering the depths of the illusion realm. But the Changyin Pearl was right there, visible yet out of reach. Mu Yinfeng glanced at Tianbing wrapped around her and imagined Tianbing darting back to Huixue to complain. She could not help sighing. It seemed that if she wanted Senior Sister’s attention, she had to pay a certain price.
Just then, a jade-colored butterfly flew straight toward her. Mu Yinfeng dodged on instinct. Although she avoided the direct impact, the edge of the jade butterfly’s wing still brushed her. In an instant, Mu Yinfeng felt heat rush over her whole body. She lowered her head and saw that her hands had completely turned jade-colored. Even the surface of her black robe seemed to be covered in a layer of polished jade. Not only her, but Tianbing was also stained with a jade glow, its original pure white gone.
Not good. It was the Jade Butterfly Seal!
One of the Butterfly Goddess’s three great innate gifts was the Jade Butterfly Seal. Anything sealed by the Jade Butterfly Seal had its life, death, and movements completely controlled by the Butterfly Goddess. Once struck by it, the target was fully under the sealer’s control. It was said that at the Butterfly Goddess’s peak, this had been her sure-kill technique. Many gods in the heavenly realm had been struck by the Jade Butterfly Seal and had their godheads shattered.
At the same time, a figure descended in front of her, with a face exactly like the Butterfly Goddess statue behind her. She looked at Mu Yinfeng, her tone full of mockery. “What do you think this place is? Did you think that because you could use mental power to find the Butterfly Goddess Temple, you could defeat me? You were wrong. No one can defeat me here. Not even that snow woman has the slightest chance of winning.”
“Why?”
The Butterfly Spirit smiled. “Because, of course, this is my domain. You thought this was an illusion realm, but I can tell you clearly: my domain is the illusion.”
“So that is how it is.” Mu Yinfeng gave a short laugh. After all, she was now the protagonist under this world’s rules. According to general law, she would not die. And although the Jade Butterfly Seal was tyrannical, it was not completely without a way to break it. Most importantly, the Butterfly Spirit could not kill her right now.
Because if she died, the primordial yin power in her body would scatter, and the Butterfly Spirit would gain nothing.
So she could now have a calm talk with the Butterfly Spirit until Huixue noticed something was wrong and hurried over. Generally speaking, a split soul and the main body still had a certain gap between them.
But if this was a domain, then it was indeed more troublesome than an ordinary array. Just as Huixue had said, this domain was a god-level domain. Although it had weakened because the Butterfly Spirit’s strength was far below the Butterfly Goddess’s from back then, its godhead was broken but its remaining might still existed. Breaking this domain would not be easy.
For Mu Yinfeng, there were two possibilities now. First, she could bleed directly, but after bleeding, she would very likely become too weak and lose the ability to resist the Butterfly Spirit. Second, she could obtain the Changyin Pearl. With the Changyin Pearl’s support, she could magnify the extreme yin power until it was strong enough to break through this domain.
But both possibilities depended on Huixue arriving in time.
Although the primordial yin domain among her talents might also restrain illusion realms, with her current strength, she was not yet able to release a primordial yin domain. Even in the plot, the primordial yin domain was not something she knew at this point.
“Do not think of contacting that snow woman.” The Butterfly Spirit seemed to see through her thoughts. “If you contact the snow woman, your three companions and everyone in Enji Village will die.”
“Oh.” Mu Yinfeng spread her hands helplessly. “But what if Senior Sister hurries over on her own?”
“Then I will accept defeat.” The Butterfly Spirit clapped her hands. “But I do not think she will notice. Because she has no way to beat my soul fragment.”
“But you yourself are a soul fragment of the Butterfly Goddess.”
The Butterfly Spirit smiled. “You are right. How could the power of a god be something a mere snow woman can fight? There is naturally a reason a god is a god. But speaking of that, I am very curious. How did you discover that the foundation of my power was in the Butterfly Goddess Temple?”
Had the villain’s intelligence already fallen this low? Mu Yinfeng held back the urge to roll her eyes. Was this huge Butterfly Goddess Temple here as a decoration?
“It seems that question cannot trouble you. Then why not guess the reason I attacked those girls?” After the previous failure, the Butterfly Spirit was in no hurry to strike Mu Yinfeng hard. Instead, like a cat playing with a mouse, she began chatting with Mu Yinfeng. “Why not use the little bead above as the stake? If you guess right, I will give you the bead. If you guess wrong, you must obediently come with me. What do you think?”
Guess the reason the Butterfly Spirit attacked those girls? This was an open-ended question. Mu Yinfeng remembered that in the original book, dealing with the Butterfly Spirit had been especially simple. Almost the entire story there had been her interaction with Chang Zui. The two traded lines back and forth, while the monster-fighting process was described in a total mess. Then, somehow, Chang Zui blocked one of the Butterfly Spirit’s attacks for her and was injured. She was provoked into releasing her potential, began playing the pipa, and the Changyin Pearl fell onto her pipa because of the pull between their energies. Then it sucked the Butterfly Spirit’s power in return and finally drained the Butterfly Spirit dry.
But now?
Mu Yinfeng looked at the Butterfly Spirit before her, then looked at her jade-colored hands. How could dealing with the Butterfly Spirit be that easy?
The Jade Butterfly Seal would not only let the Butterfly Spirit completely control her body, but also fully seal her spiritual energy and physical body. In other words, not only could she not use spiritual energy now, even cutting her skin to draw blood would be very difficult.
The original book really misled people. Who would have thought that an evil creature with the status of minor cannon fodder could have this kind of strength?
Mu Yinfeng weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a judgment. She smiled faintly. “In that case, Butterfly Spirit, what do you want to obtain from me? My primordial yin? But you should know that taking my primordial yin comes with a great price.”
“Are you doubting that I can bear that price? I am a god. There is no price I cannot bear!”
Mu Yinfeng covered her lips and smiled, her eyes charming. “Are you certain?”
She did not know why. As an ordinary person who had come here, she should have feared these demons and monsters. But whenever she truly faced them, the calm inside her always pressed down her fear, as if she had been this kind of person from the start.
Perhaps Mu Yinfeng in the original book had always been such a person: planning from a position of control, calm and unhurried, not shaken even in the face of the powerful.
“What do you mean?” Seeing that this little girl was not moved by her at all, the Butterfly Spirit could not help being shocked. She could sense that Mu Yinfeng’s strength was very weak, weak enough that the Butterfly Spirit could crush her with one finger. Yet Mu Yinfeng’s presence startled her.
“I am only stating a fact to you, Butterfly Spirit. Since you are willing to use the Changyin Pearl as the stake, this little woman can only keep you company.” Mu Yinfeng stared into the Butterfly Spirit’s eyes. A faint, bewitching smile passed over her jade-colored lips, and for a moment, her bearing was peerless enough to shock even the Butterfly Spirit, who prided herself on beauty. Then Mu Yinfeng added, “But I hope you will remember your own words. If you go back on them, are you willing to bear heavenly punishment?”
Although she could not yet use true word-spirit power, she could still use this sort of method to guide the Butterfly Spirit into placing a spoken binding on herself. Just now, Mu Yinfeng had quietly used the Yin Charm Art on the Butterfly Spirit. Spiritual energy flowed from the depths of her eyes. If the other party’s spiritual energy was lower than hers, they would fall under her control. If the other party’s spiritual energy was higher, she could still influence them.
However, the Yin Charm Art could only be released while making eye contact. That was its limit. Because the Butterfly Spirit did not understand Mu Yinfeng’s methods, Mu Yinfeng had found an opening.
Sure enough, the Butterfly Spirit agreed at once without any hesitation. Mu Yinfeng smiled faintly again and glanced at the sky. In midair, a water-like membrane trembled once, and a faint ray of starlight showed from behind it, shining down on the Butterfly Spirit’s head.
“But before that, I also have a question. I wonder if the Butterfly Spirit can answer Yinfeng’s doubt.”
The Butterfly Spirit asked without thinking, “What question?”
Mu Yinfeng pointed at the statue behind her and smiled softly. “Why does the Butterfly Goddess’s statue look so similar to Yinfeng?”
