The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 76

“How did you recognize me?” Huixue–no, the Snow God–looked at Mu Yinfeng with narrowed eyes. The corner of her mouth lifted in a faint smile. “Right now, I should look exactly like the Senior Sister you speak of. My aura is no different from hers either. How did you know I was not her?”
“Because she would never say shameless things like you do,” Mu Yinfeng said coldly.
Huixue had always been reserved and restrained with her. Even when she sometimes crossed a line, she never let anyone see through her thoughts. That distant yet close attitude left Mu Yinfeng unable to understand her, yet unable to pull away. But although the Snow God wore a face similar to Huixue’s, the strength of her desire was obvious the moment she was compared with Huixue.
“Shameless?” The Snow God laughed softly and asked in return, “In your eyes, that is what I am?”
“Then what does the Snow God think?” Severing Love trembled slightly in Mu Yinfeng’s hand. She took a deep breath. The cold spiritual current from Severing Love moved through the meridians in her body. Only by holding her breath and focusing could she barely suppress the chill inside her. “Why? Why are you treating me this way? You were the snow demon who ruled the Snow Realm back then. Even if you use the Snow God’s name, in the end, you are only ruining the Snow God’s reputation.”
The Snow God turned her wrist. While Mu Yinfeng was forcing the spiritual flow in her body to settle, she snatched Severing Love from her hand. Then she raised her hand and waved, knocking Mu Yinfeng aside.
Before Mu Yinfeng could rise, the Snow God stepped forward and tapped several places on Mu Yinfeng’s body, sealing several of her important acupoints.
Seeing Mu Yinfeng lying on the ground, unable to move, a faint smile appeared on the Snow God’s face. She crouched beside Mu Yinfeng, gently lifted Mu Yinfeng’s hand, and stroked it carefully.
“I did not expect these hands to start using a sword too. Is this truly what you like?” There was a faint sadness in the Snow God’s voice. “And Severing Love, no less. For Lord Wind, this really is something never seen before.”
“As long as I can kill you, it does not matter what I use.”
“No. You cannot kill me.” Hearing this, the Snow God looked at Mu Yinfeng’s face and stared tightly into her eyes. “Yinfeng, look at this face of mine. Can you still bring yourself to do it?”
“Why could I not?”
“If you could, you would have done it in Langhuan Pavilion. It is true that Lord Wind has always been generous, but Lord Wind is also the most heartless.” The Snow God slowly placed Mu Yinfeng’s hand by her side. At the same time, spiritual energy surged in her palm and condensed into a cold silver needle.
She pinched the silver needle and stabbed it into the back of Mu Yinfeng’s hand. Mu Yinfeng did not feel pain. She only felt a burst of cold so sharp that she shivered several times.
“Is it cold?” The Snow God pressed down on her shoulder, stopping her from moving. “Bear with it. It will be over soon.”
Mu Yinfeng’s teeth chattered. That icy spiritual current rammed through her meridians, as if it meant to freeze every drop of blood and every thread of spiritual energy it passed.
“If you want to use Severing Love, it would be bad if you could not endure even this much cold.” The Snow God looked into her eyes and smiled slightly. Right now, Mu Yinfeng was using all her strength to resist the cold and had no energy left to use the Linglong Heart Method to read the Snow God’s thoughts.
“What… exactly… are you… trying… to do…”
Mu Yinfeng asked in broken words.
“I want you to become mine. Lord Wind, you should have been my spoil of war. Although it is a lifetime late, I do not mind.” The Snow God’s red lips opened and closed, and the words she spoke made Mu Yinfeng feel even colder. “Now that your divine spark is destroyed, you no longer have Lord Wind’s former glory. Can you still stand against me?”
Hearing this, Mu Yinfeng closed her eyes. A tear slid from the corner of her eye.
When Flame Maiden returned to Miao’an Cave on Cangjue Mountain, she suddenly felt that the cave’s temperature had dropped quite a bit from usual. She instinctively looked toward the source of the chill and saw a white-robed figure standing inside the fiery red cave walls.
No way. Was this person really haunting her now?
Flame Maiden braced herself and walked toward the cave entrance, hoping with all her heart that Huixue would not see her. But such hopes usually turned against her. A snow-white sword lay across her path. The sword had not left its sheath, but it was already bitterly cold.
She had no choice but to stop and look at Huixue. The Huixue before her now was even colder than the one she had seen earlier. Just by standing there, the cold energy around her could drive away the heat of the heavenly yang true fire that had gathered here for many years.
“Where is Yinfeng?”
That cool, clear voice reached Flame Maiden’s ears, chilling her whole body and forcing her to speed up her spiritual energy to drive away the cold.
“Do you not know where she is?” Flame Maiden found this completely baffling. “Were you not with her just now?”
As she spoke, she tried to push Liufei aside and enter Miao’an Cave. Once she got inside, she could activate the Solar Prison for defense. At that point, no matter how capable Huixue was, she would not be able to break in.
Liufei moved sideways again and blocked her path once more. Flame Maiden began to panic. Although she was proud of her own strength, the moment Huixue arrived at Cangjue Mountain, she had directly broken the mountain’s Primordial Yang balance. Flame Maiden knew this was someone she could not provoke.
“Where is Mu Yinfeng?”
Huixue asked again. This time, her tone was more anxious than before.
“No, wait. Did you not just come back? Why are you asking me this?” Flame Maiden looked at Huixue in shock. When their eyes met, she vaguely sensed something wrong. The light in the Huixue she had seen earlier was completely different from the one in front of her. That person earlier had eyes like a ten-thousand-year ice pit, ready to swallow someone at any moment. The person before her was much calmer.
“Who exactly are you?” Flame Maiden asked in surprise.
Liufei, still in its sheath, now lay against her neck. “Answer the question.”
Flame Maiden did not dare delay. She hurriedly told Huixue where Mu Yinfeng was. She thought Huixue might ask something else, but Huixue turned and left without paying her any more attention.
What was going on?
Flame Maiden sat inside Miao’an Cave and thought over what had happened today. With a long sigh, she quietly took a fiery red spirit stone from her robe and poured spiritual energy into it. At the same time, an illusory figure appeared before her. It was a cold-faced young man.
“What did Flame Maiden encounter this time?”
“I want to obtain someone.” As Flame Maiden spoke, she slowly bowed. “Mu Yinfeng, the youngest disciple of Hanyou Valley’s Valley Master.”
When the young man heard this name, he shook his head. “That person is not someone you can obtain.”
“Why? I am Lord Sun’s divine envoy. Why can I not–”
“She is the reincarnation of one of the Heavenly Realm Department of Nature’s ten divine officials. Lord Wind.” Sun Star Lord smiled helplessly. “If you tried to force her and are still alive now, that is your good fortune.”
“She could break the Solar Prison. Is she truly that strong?” Flame Maiden asked in shock.
“Jian Shu died by her hand,” Sun Star Lord said slowly. “Flame Maiden, you have fought Jian Shu before. You should know her strength.”
Flame Maiden’s face turned pale, as if she had remembered something frightening. Only after a long time did she sigh. “Perhaps this is something I can never reach in my life. Flame Maiden wishes to ask, between Lord Sun and Lord Wind…”
“I am not her match. Not in the past, not in the future, and not now,” Sun Star Lord admitted. “Right now, she simply does not wish to act. The true Lord Wind’s strength may be something even Water Master and Lady Taiyin cannot resist.”
“Is that true?” Flame Maiden sucked in a cold breath. “Lord Sun truly values this Mu Yinfeng so highly?”
“Extreme wisdom brings harm, and deep feeling shortens life. That is Lord Wind’s portrait.” Sun Star Lord raised one hand. A scarlet bead appeared in his palm. Flame Maiden slowly lifted her head and stretched out both hands. The bead drifted down into them.
“This is…” Flame Maiden’s expression shifted. “This is a Sun Stone?”
“You are pursuing chaos, the joining of yin and yang into Taiji, but seeking the extreme in one direction is not a bad thing either. Let this Sun Stone help your future cultivation.” Sun Star Lord looked at Flame Maiden, and a trace of a sigh passed through his eyes. “If you are willing, my position will be given to you as well. Obtaining chaos would bring you a hundred harms and not one benefit.”
“You rarely cry.” The Snow God reached out and wiped the tear from the corner of Mu Yinfeng’s eye. She said softly, “I remember when you were in the Heavenly Realm, no one ever saw–”
“You will never see it again.”
A soft voice suddenly sounded behind her.
The Snow God’s heart skipped. A familiar coldness rose at her neck. It was Mu Yinfeng’s usual dagger.
The girl in front of her silently faded away, as if she had never existed.
“The Yin Charm Art and the Spirit Gu Control Curse activated at the same time?” The Snow God suddenly understood. “So that is how it was.”
The Yin Charm Art controlled her sea of consciousness, while the Spirit Gu Control Curse controlled what she saw. In other words, everything she had seen had been an illusion controlled by Mu Yinfeng.
“You are still so… dull.” The Snow God’s voice held disappointment. She sighed. “Yinfeng, being so serious is not a good habit.”
“Not for you, perhaps. For me, it may be fine. I already told you not to appear in front of me again, and not to bring up these matters. Why did you not listen?” Mu Yinfeng pressed the dagger closer. The blade was stained with a little blood. “I did not want to kill you.”
“Did not want to kill me? Your heart has softened.” The Snow God asked in a teasing voice, “Or is it because your opponent is me? With this face in front of you, you simply cannot do it?”
Mu Yinfeng was silent. She lowered the dagger. “This is the last time.”
The Snow God turned back and placed a hand on her neck, wiping away the blood there. She smiled faintly. “I bet the next time you see me, you will say the same thing.”
Mu Yinfeng did not answer.
For some reason, she found that she truly could not strike the Snow God down. It was not only because the Snow God wore Huixue’s face. Even if the Snow God returned to her original appearance, after Mu Yinfeng placed the dagger against that person’s neck, she still did not have the courage to cut through that most fragile spot.
The Snow God blinked, and her figure instantly turned into ten thousand flying snowflakes and scattered. Even if Mu Yinfeng wanted to chase her, she could no longer tell which direction she had gone.
Just then, Mu Yinfeng felt a gust of yin wind behind her. She instinctively dodged and felt something graze past her arm.
A throwing dart was pinned to a nearby tree. Its blade still flashed with a vicious cold light.
