The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 83

Huixue’s kiss came without warning and was unusually intense. Mu Yinfeng almost had no time to resist, but by the time she came back to herself, her arms were already wrapped tightly around Huixue’s neck.
She let Huixue kiss her forehead and gave up the thought of struggling. This Huixue felt unbelievable. Mu Yinfeng almost suspected she was inside a dream.
If this was a dream, then let it last a little longer. It would not be bad if she never woke.
“Do not sink too deep, Mu Yinfeng. You know this will not be good for you,” the blood vine reminded her in her heart.
But it sadly discovered that Mu Yinfeng decisively used her mental power to cut off its connection with her.
“Senior Sister.” Mu Yinfeng heard her own low voice, as if it were no longer under her control. “Senior Sister, why are you doing this? Do you not…”
Not like me?
Mu Yinfeng suddenly remembered the conversations between them. Huixue seemed to have never clearly said she disliked her. Instead, Huixue had protected her in many ways. The harshest thing Huixue had ever said was that there was no possibility between them now.
After all, in Huixue’s eyes, Mu Yinfeng was only fourteen. To cultivators with long lives, fourteen was still too young. Did Huixue’s “no possibility now” mean there was not no possibility in the future?
Thinking of this, Mu Yinfeng’s eyes lit slightly, and she held Huixue even tighter.
Their bodies pressed closer and closer. Through their clothes, Mu Yinfeng could clearly feel Huixue’s body temperature. Her breathing could not help growing quick, and a blush spread across her whole face. Her body trembled slightly. She did not know whether it was because of Huixue’s cold body temperature or because of excitement.
Only after a long time did Huixue move her red lips away from Mu Yinfeng’s forehead. Then she raised her hands and cupped Mu Yinfeng’s face.
Moonlight fell slantwise over them. Their eyes met, and in each other’s eyes, there were only the two of them.
“Senior Sister… when you are like this, I am scared…” Mu Yinfeng looked away slightly and said in a small voice.
“What are you scared of?”
Huixue’s voice was very steady. There was no hint of drunkenness in it. But the light in her eyes was something Mu Yinfeng had never seen before. It was like emotion had broken through the ice that once sealed it and was pouring out.
“I am afraid this is a dream. After I wake, Senior Sister will still be the old Senior Sister…”
Huixue slowly moved her hand to Mu Yinfeng’s forehead and brushed aside the loose hair at her temple. That touch felt so real that Mu Yinfeng had no doubt she was in reality.
“…Silly child.”
“I am not silly.” Mu Yinfeng did not know why she was arguing about this. She stared into Huixue’s eyes and felt as if she might drown in Huixue’s gaze.
“You originally liked Chang Zui. But why are you like this now? You clearly knew he brought you back to Hanyou Valley only because he coveted the Primordial Yin in your body and wanted to refine you into a cultivation vessel.” Huixue flicked Mu Yinfeng’s temple and smiled bitterly. “After I killed him, you still kept protecting him. You let him attach himself to you, spared no effort and drained your cultivation for him, then changed your whole nature for his sake and let the world speak ill of you. Is he really that good?”
Mu Yinfeng looked stunned. How did Huixue know plot events that had not happened yet?
“No, Senior Sister, I…”
But Huixue did not notice her gaze. She only heard her voice. Huixue lowered her hand and covered Mu Yinfeng’s mouth, stopping her from speaking, then continued talking to herself.
“Do not speak. Tell me, what is so good about Chang Zui? Better than me, enough for you to choose Chang Zui and make me your enemy?”
“Chang Zui never…”
“You said Chang Zui could not die, and whether I lived or died did not matter at all. You said those words. Have you forgotten?”
Those were the words from Lord Lanfeng’s final battle with Huixue at White Snow Pagoda. Why did Huixue know them?
Lord Lanfeng had done that. It had nothing to do with her!
Unfortunately, Lord Lanfeng and she were the same soul. The sins created in the previous life could only be repaid in this one.
Mu Yinfeng could no longer hide the fear in her heart. She felt as if she had fallen into an endless abyss, and Huixue’s embrace was the thing dragging her down.
Could it be… Could Huixue be someone reborn?
The thought leaped into her mind, and Mu Yinfeng’s face instantly turned white as paper.
If Huixue had been reborn, that meant Huixue had seen all of her.
Seen her protect Chang Zui’s remnant soul even at the cost of her cultivation, and seen her make Huixue her enemy.
Seen her enter seclusion, fall into demonic corruption, and study every forbidden art under heaven.
Seen her turn the common people into puppets, slaughter without limit, use the Spirit Gu Control Curse, and sweep across the world.
Seen her before White Snow Pagoda, holding the Changyin pipa, smiling as she slowly tortured the person before her to death…
Mu Yinfeng trembled and tried to escape Huixue’s arms, only to despair when she discovered Huixue was holding her even tighter.
“But why are you approaching me now? This is different.” Huixue smiled bitterly. “Yinfeng, can you tell me why now?”
“I…”
“Are you Yinfeng? Or are you Lord Lanfeng?”
When Huixue asked this question again, Mu Yinfeng felt she could no longer answer with the same certainty as before.
It was true that she knew she was Mu Yinfeng now, but she could not promise she would not grow into Lord Lanfeng in the future. She faintly felt that Mu Yinfeng and Lord Lanfeng were separated by only one thin line.
That line was the Spirit Gu Control Curse.
On the way here, when the Shanglin Sect people had surrounded her, and when she faced the high-level cultivator with the strongest killing intent, she had known that the Shanglin Sect people had been led along by that cultivator. Yet for some reason, she had still used the Spirit Gu Control Curse without hesitation, preparing to kill them all. But after calming down, she realized that she was almost two different people in those different states.
Had the Spirit Gu Control Curse taken even her most basic calmness from her? Did it leave only slaughter in her heart and nothing else?
But she could feel that when she used the Spirit Gu Control Curse to seize a sea of consciousness and control a puppet, that was when her heart was most calm. Calm enough that she did not need to spend any extra thought to see gains and losses clearly.
So was she Mu Yinfeng? Or Lord Lanfeng?
Mu Yinfeng felt she had no way to answer this question anymore. Perhaps the events of her previous life would still be fulfilled in this one. This was her fate, and she had no way to resist.
“I…” Mu Yinfeng paused, then looked back into Huixue’s eyes. “Whether I am Mu Yinfeng or Lord Lanfeng, I am someone who likes Senior Sister.”
A sudden burning pain like fire flared at her wrist. Mu Yinfeng’s body trembled violently. She forced herself to endure the pain. Her expression stiffened for an instant, but soon returned to normal.
“Is that so?” Huixue stared at the girl before her. “Those words… are they true?”
Mu Yinfeng did not dare speak. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would not be able to endure the pain from the blood vine’s restriction. She could only barely nod.
This time, the burning pain from the blood vine was much stronger than last time. Although Huixue’s ice-snow seal was already doing its best, it still could not fully resist the force of the blood vine’s restriction. Mu Yinfeng’s nails dug hard into her flesh, and drops of blood fell through her fingers onto the ground.
“I am not good. There is nothing about me worth liking.” Huixue froze for a moment, then suddenly said, “I treated you… badly too. Back then, I even wanted to kill you. Why are you like this?”
“If Senior Sister wants to kill me, there is no need for Senior Sister to act. I will end my own life.” The pain at her wrist had eased a little, and Mu Yinfeng answered with difficulty. She did not know what she was saying. Perhaps it was only nonsense, but even nonsense sounded tender and sorrowful now. “Senior Sister, there is no reason for this, and there never will be.”
“You really are a silly child.” As Huixue spoke, she lowered her head and lightly pecked Mu Yinfeng near the base of her ear. At the same time, her hands climbed onto Mu Yinfeng’s shoulders, and she stared at her with heat and intimacy.
After a while, her hands slowly moved down from Mu Yinfeng’s shoulders, brushed over her arms, and lifted the hand Mu Yinfeng had just cut with her nails.
“What happened to your hand? Who hurt you? I will go hit them.”
Hearing this, Mu Yinfeng realized something was wrong.
If Huixue’s earlier words had been passionate and direct, unlike anything she would usually say, then the way Huixue spoke now was clearly childish.
A thought belatedly rose in Mu Yinfeng’s heart. Could Huixue be drunk?
Thinking of this, Mu Yinfeng forced her hand free and waved it in front of Huixue’s eyes. In the past, Huixue would have caught her wrist and pushed her hand down. But now–
Huixue did catch her wrist, but she turned it over and slowly brought it to her mouth, gently licking the wound.
This was clearly not something Hanyou Valley’s cold and noble Senior Sister would do. Although Mu Yinfeng had grown used to watching Huixue’s persona collapse day by day while Huixue tried hard to save it, she still confirmed one fact.
It seemed… she really was drunk…
Mu Yinfeng breathed a sigh of relief. She had heard that drunk people did not remember what happened while they were drunk. In that case, after Huixue sobered up, the two of them would not be too awkward.
And after drinking, people spoke the truth. Faint joy spread through Mu Yinfeng’s heart. Huixue really did like her.
Since Huixue truly liked her, her own feelings had not been placed on empty air. To Mu Yinfeng, that was already enough.
“Sister Lord Wind, a moment of romantic joy can be boundless, but you cannot cling too greedily to it. If you cling too deeply, you will not be able to free yourself.” At that moment, the Butterfly Goddess’s voice sounded in her heart, hiding endless worry.
“For now… let it be like this.”
A faint coolness flowed through her palm, stirring the softest place in Mu Yinfeng’s heart. Mu Yinfeng hesitated, but still refused the Butterfly Goddess’s kind warning.
Reason told her she could not sink too deep, but hidden love and desire finally stripped away reason and calm completely. Right now, she could not move her feet. She could not even move her gaze away from Huixue.
“Sister Lord Wind has already fallen in love. Why pretend not to see it?” The Butterfly Goddess sensed Mu Yinfeng’s meaning and sighed.
So what if she had fallen in love? She had received the result she wanted, but this joy would never be hers again after tonight.
Mu Yinfeng did not answer.
Seeing that Mu Yinfeng did not answer, the Butterfly Goddess said no more and quietly vanished.
“Yinfeng, let us not separate again in the future.” After who knew how long, Huixue slowly put Mu Yinfeng’s hand down. Then she leaned forward and pulled Mu Yinfeng into her arms.
The hug was so tight that Mu Yinfeng nearly could not breathe. She struggled weakly. Huixue seemed to realize she had gone too far, so she loosened her arms a little, barely leaving Mu Yinfeng enough space to breathe.
“…All right.”
Mu Yinfeng rested her head on Huixue’s shoulder and answered softly.
Huixue asked carefully, “Promise?”
“…Promise.”
