The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 66

In an instant, Mu Yinfeng felt a pair of hands press against her back. Abundant spiritual flow poured into her body and filled her dried-up spiritual core at once.
With spiritual energy supporting it, the cracked barrier became whole again. The force inside gradually weakened from its first fierce impact until it completely scattered. From the moment that person appeared until the end, no new cracks appeared on the barrier.
With the danger gone, Mu Yinfeng collapsed to the ground. The person who had saved her stood beside her, a gentle gaze falling around her.
A pure white skirt trailed over the ground without being stained by even a speck of dust.
“Thank you for helping me, Senior Sister. Which peak is Senior Sister from? Yinfeng should come visit and thank you properly.”
“You rarely call me Senior Sister.”
That person’s voice was light and cold. A faint chill of ice and snow came with it. It was somewhat like Huixue’s voice, but clearer and colder.
It was the familiar yet unfamiliar voice that had sounded in Mu Yinfeng’s heart.
Mu Yinfeng raised her eyes. The person beside her wore white robes like snow, holy and untouchable. At one glance, divine light dazzled the eyes. Majesty and clear beauty blended together, making her seem like a fairy from the highest heavens descending to the mortal world.
This figure resembled the white-clothed woman in the memory that had appeared for no reason that day, the Snow God, divine official of the Department of Nature, who had fought her and fallen together with her.
Was the Snow God not Huixue? How could she separate and appear here alone?
“Snow God?”
The woman stared at Mu Yinfeng’s face and took a slight step back. “When did you ever call me Snow God before?”
“I…”
The woman reached out a hand. Three green wind patterns shone clearly on it. By some strange accident, Mu Yinfeng stretched out her own hand and placed it in the woman’s palm, letting the woman pull her up.
“Feng’er, do you not want to know the truth of what happened back then? Do you truly not want to know who made you fall into your current state?” The Snow God’s voice was sorrowful and graceful. Her palm was icy cold. For a moment, Mu Yinfeng felt as if her whole body had been surrounded by ice and snow.
“Since you are the Snow God, then what is Senior Sister?” Mu Yinfeng thought of Liufei hanging at Huixue’s side, and her mind suddenly cleared. She pulled her hand out of the Snow God’s hand and asked coldly.
Liufei was the Snow God’s treasured sword. It had once received the Snow God’s divine soul brand. Only the Snow God could draw it. These things were enough to prove Huixue was the Snow God’s reincarnation. Then who was this Snow God?
“Her? You care about her so much?”
“So what if I do?”
“She is someone who once wanted to kill you. Have you forgotten how it felt when Tianbing pierced your body? Or have you forgotten the Changyin Pearl being taken before your eyes? Have you forgotten that she wanted you to sever all thought of cultivation and stop your cultivation forever?” The Snow God took Mu Yinfeng’s hand again and studied it carefully. As her fingers brushed over Mu Yinfeng’s skin, a snowflake seal appeared on the back of Mu Yinfeng’s hand, glowing blue, delicate and strange.
“What are you trying to say?” Mu Yinfeng pulled her hand back again. This time, she was not polite. Severing Love rang as it left its sheath, creating distance between her and the Snow God. “If you say she wanted to kill me, then did you never have killing intent toward me back then?”
Mu Yinfeng did not remember much of the causes and effects of her previous life. Almost everything she knew about the past came from that book, from Lord Lanfeng, and from what the Star Lord of Great Yin had said. Aside from that, she sometimes recalled memories whose time and place she did not know.
In those memories, there were towering pavilions and endless auspicious clouds. There were also seas of blood, mountains of corpses, and Red Lotus Karmic Fire. There were faces of different people, some majestic and some detached. She had never seen these people before, but she was certain they were divine officials of the Heavenly Realm.
Perhaps when she was still Lord Wind, they had once been her colleagues?
“You remember nothing.” The Snow God sneered. “Then why are you so certain everything you heard is true? Legends are only legends. Even if others told you, most of it was probably disguised and polished. You can listen to the Xin Metal divine envoy, you can listen to the Star Lord of Great Yin, and you can even listen to the Heaven-grade Chou-rank Ice Emperor Biyuntian. Why can you not listen to someone who shares the same experience as you?”
“Then tell me. What is the truth?”
“The person who cursed you back then was not me. I never thought of cursing you. It is true that the one who cursed you was called the Snow God, but not the Snow God divine official of the Heavenly Realm’s Department of Nature. It was an evil being that once ruled the Snow Realm. Because the human world was ignorant, that evil being was also called the Snow God in the north of the human world.” The Snow God stretched out a hand and placed it on Severing Love. “Do you think I could have cursed you? I admit I was indeed a spirit born from ice and snow who ascended to become the Snow God. But even if I slaughtered all of the Heavenly Realm, I would not touch a single finger of yours.”
Hearing this, the chill around Mu Yinfeng deepened. She stared into the Snow God’s eyes, trying to find some trace there. But the Linglong Heart Method told her clearly that the Snow God before her was not lying.
“Then who exactly is Huixue…”
Severing Love trembled in Mu Yinfeng’s hand. She lowered her gaze, and in her heart, she almost did not want to hear the Snow God’s answer.
But the Snow God still did not answer directly. Her tone was clearly a little angry. “Do you care about her that much? Should you not ask how I have lived through all these years? Do you only care about her?”
“Then who else do you want me to care about?” Mu Yinfeng asked in return. “Although what you said sounds reasonable, you forgot one thing. You have not proven your identity. You say you are the Snow God. Why should I believe you?”
Clearly, the person before her understood her very well. “Did your Linglong Heart Method not tell you?”
“Against an opponent with enough mental power, what the Linglong Heart Method sees is almost always disguised memory.” Mu Yinfeng looked at the Snow God with a smile that was not quite a smile, secretly gathering power in Severing Love. At that moment, sheets of ice and snow fell from the sky, hiding the Snow God’s figure.
“I will see you again. When that time comes, you will change your mind. You should recognize your own heart. Right now, you are only being deceived by your eyes.”
“Was that the Snow God?” Suniang trembled all over, almost frightened back into fox form.
Mingzhu looked in the direction Suniang was staring and nodded. “It was the Snow God.”
“But was the Snow God not already…” Suniang sucked in a cold breath. Her tail instantly sprang out from fright. She hid behind Mingzhu and did not dare come out. “Was the Snow God not dead?”
“According to information from a thousand years ago, she did indeed fall,” Mingzhu recalled. “But judging by Liufei, the current Huixue of Hanyou Valley should be the Snow God’s reincarnation. What is going on?”
Suniang’s face grew even paler, almost the same color as the tail behind her. She tightly clamped her tail, trying to hide it. “But that scent seems to have always been in Hanyou Valley. It simply never released divine might. In other words, the Snow God has always been in Hanyou Valley.”
“The Snow God is in Hanyou Valley?” Mingzhu was stunned. She had been the Gui Water divine envoy for nearly a thousand years, yet she had not discovered the slightest trace of the Snow God.
Suniang nodded. Red threads danced in her palm for a long time before falling and vanishing. She sighed and took Mingzhu’s hand.
“Mingzhu, did Lord Wind have a grudge with the Snow God back then?”
“Lord Wind and the Snow God fought back then and both fell. Before death, the Snow God even cursed Lord Wind. That grudge cannot be called small.”
“Then that explains it.” Feeling that aura gradually move away, Suniang finally managed to put away her fox tail and walk out from behind Mingzhu. “I just looked at that person’s marriage thread. This is definitely a thread even Old Man Yue would find difficult.”
“Lord Wind’s marriage thread?”
“That person.” Suniang pouted. She would rather die than say Mu Yinfeng’s name. “Her. Who else did you think?”
“You even looked at that?” Mingzhu laughed softly. “I thought you hated her so much you did not even want to look at her. Today, you are actually worrying about her marriage thread. But I remember that although your Tushan clan controls marriage fate, if you want to change it, you still have to lose cultivation, right?”
“You are the heartless one!” Suniang spat lightly and turned her face away. “I cut the thread between her and that senior brother. That senior brother is clearly no good. I saw at least seven or eight young girls’ resentment gathered on him, and there are probably more in truth. A bastard like that should forget about having marriage fate for the rest of his life.”
“When it comes to playing through the mortal world, who can compare to you, a nine-tailed fox demon?” Mingzhu pinched Suniang’s tail, which had not been fully put away. Suniang was so angry she stopped hiding it altogether and swept her tail at Mingzhu.
“I am only over seventy. I am still a child! You are the one playing through the mortal world. You are the nine-tailed fox demon!”
The Snow God had appeared quickly and vanished even faster. Snow fell in flurries, burying the Snow God’s traces and blocking Mu Yinfeng’s view. For a moment, Mu Yinfeng could not help wondering who she was and where she stood.
Severing Love’s blade glowed faint blue, a trace it had absorbed from Liuguang. For some reason, whenever Severing Love left its sheath, she always felt an inexplicable coldness in her heart, as if the sword had cut off the love thread there.
And it was this cold feeling that quickly pulled her out of her doubt.
She sighed, gathered her mind, and returned Severing Love to its sheath. Pushing everything that had just happened to the back of her mind, she released her mental power and swept it across all of Hanyou Valley, searching for Huixue’s trace.
Huixue was at Buyou Hall?
Mu Yinfeng’s thoughts moved, and she quickly headed toward Buyou Hall. Only then did she remember that during the day, Bing Ling’er had sent a letter asking them to go to Buyou Hall once that night.
When she arrived at Buyou Hall, she happened to see Huixue walking out. She hurriedly hid behind the wall to avoid meeting Huixue face to face. Just then, she heard a meow. A pair of bright yellow eyes stared down at her from the wall above.
“Chuying, do not cry out. I will give you little dried fish later.” Mu Yinfeng lowered her voice and glanced toward Huixue, afraid Huixue and Bing Ling’er would notice her.
Right now, she was like a late student who only reached the classroom after class ended. No matter how one looked at it, this seemed like deliberate provocation.
Chuying stretched out one paw, then the other, waving them back and forth before her eyes.
Eight pieces.
