The Heroine Made a Pact With Senior Sister (GL) Chapter 84

When Mu Yinfeng woke the next day, she only felt a faint ache and numbness spreading from her waist. Only then did she remember what had happened last night, and her expression turned extremely strange.
Huixue should forget, right?
If she did not forget, would Huixue personally draw her sword and kill her?
What had she even done last night?!
Mu Yinfeng covered her face, not daring to look at the white figure lying on the opposite bed. She silently turned over with careful control and faced the wall to repent.
Actually, now that she thought about it, she had not done much. After all, Huixue had led everything from start to finish. If Mu Yinfeng had to say what she had done, she had only cooperated with Huixue.
She suddenly sighed. In any case, her plan was set. Whether Huixue remembered or not no longer mattered.
Mu Yinfeng looked at the sky. Dawn light was faint outside, and there were still several hours before the match. She pulled the quilt aside and wanted to straighten her clothes, but when she saw her own body, her hand froze slightly.
Below her neck, dense red marks spread all the way to her collarbones. Her skin was a cool pale white, making the marks look like bright flowers blooming over her body. They would not fade for a while.
Those red marks made Mu Yinfeng’s face burn at once. She quickly straightened her clothes, but the collars she usually wore were not high. A stretch of her neck remained exposed, and the red marks there showed faintly, gorgeous and intimate.
Mu Yinfeng sighed and took out the jeweled necklace she had abandoned for several days. The black necklace wrapped around her neck, barely covering those hard-to-explain traces. She did not want anyone to see her like this.
Her relationship with Huixue should end here. Mu Yinfeng had already thought it through last night. Her fate could never be calm and peaceful. It was sure to be full of countless hardships. She had no way to avoid all of them.
Besides, no one knew who the executor of the heavenly prophecy was. It might be her, or it might be someone else. And Huixue would certainly die in the hellish slaughter controlled by that executor.
“Sister Lord Wind has always grieved for all living beings. I knew Sister Lord Wind would definitely stay in the human world and resist the heavenly prophecy,” the Butterfly Goddess had said last night. “But Sister Lord Wind should also have heard this. Anyone who defies the heavenly prophecy, whether human, yao, ghost, or god, will not have a good end.”
“People always say the way of heaven has its own justice. I never thought the way of heaven would be like this. The talk of saving lives is only empty words,” Mu Yinfeng sighed.
“Not entirely empty,” the Butterfly Goddess said slowly. “What the way of heaven wants is only natural balance. That is why it chooses a person to carry out the heavenly prophecy, not a god. Sister Lord Wind, do you know how to identify the executor?”
“How?”
“From the outside, the executor looks no different from an ordinary person. Their speech, behavior, voice, and smile are all perfectly normal. But when the executor dies, a token condensed from spiritual energy will appear. On it, three words are written in golden light: heavenly prophecy envoy.” The Butterfly Goddess explained, “But that token can last only fifteen minutes. After it disappears, a new executor will be born.”
“Is there a way to solve it?” Mu Yinfeng had asked last night.
“That spiritual-energy token is not hard to break. As long as the executor’s soul is kept from scattering before the token disappears, it will not transfer to another person.” The Butterfly Goddess thought for a moment. “If Sister Lord Wind wants to find this person, you need to find the Tianji Ruler. The Tianji Ruler is the only thing that can measure heavenly secrets without damaging fortune.”
That was the whole conversation between them. Mu Yinfeng planned to search for the executor after this Immortal Sects Assembly ended and keep a close watch on that person, so they would not commit anything that harmed the balance of heaven. A heavenly prophecy would be void if no one carried it out within ten years, or if the executor judged themself and died during that time. Heaven would not pursue it further.
But before that, she had to go to Guiyuan Tower. The famous Tianji Ruler, which could measure heavenly secrets, was inside Guiyuan Tower.
To go to Guiyuan Tower, one had to earn a ranking at the Immortal Sects Assembly. The Immortal Sects Assembly used a points system. The top one hundred contestants in individual points could enter Guiyuan Tower. For sects, only the top ten sects by average points had a chance. The first-place sect would receive ten extra disciple slots, second place would receive eight, third place would receive five, and the rest would receive two each.
Although Hanyou Valley was not weak, its average points had never caught up to Tianyun Sect, Mirror Flower Hall, or Shuihua Gate. It was always stuck in the awkward fourth-place position. In the past, when the Twin Lotuses of Hanyou were still present, first and second place in the individual matches basically belonged to Hanyou Valley, which had saved much face for the valley. But after the Twin Lotuses of Hanyou, no disciple appeared who could take their place. Hanyou Valley’s ranking fell again and again. Once, it was nearly overtaken by a mid-sized sect.
Now, people in the cultivation world still respected Hanyou Valley, but most of that respect came from its past glory. After the rankings of these past few Immortal Sects Assemblies, people’s view of Hanyou Valley had changed from something worth weighing in their hearts to something they feared being linked to. That was also why Hanyou Valley had not received any new disciples in four years.
Mu Yinfeng slowly pulled back her thoughts. After straightening her clothes and putting on her shoes, she walked softly to Huixue’s side.
Threads of mental power quietly formed in the depths of her eyes and forced their way into Huixue’s sea of consciousness. She controlled the mental power and had just been about to cut it off, but her heart stirred and she dismissed the thought. Instead, more mental power poured out, forming a faint cocoon of light that sealed Huixue’s memories of last night.
Her movements were still a little clumsy. Compared with sealing mental power, she was better at manipulating and controlling it. To her, erasing Huixue’s memories was not difficult. But making Huixue have no impression of last night without damaging those memories was something she had never done before.
“Is this right, Lady Butterfly Goddess?” Mu Yinfeng wiped the thin sweat from her forehead and asked.
Of course, the Butterfly Goddess had helped her through the whole process. The Butterfly Goddess had deep experience with seals. Among the three arts of the Butterfly Goddess, the Jade Butterfly art was a sealing technique so exquisite that it was almost impossible to find a flaw.
“Sister Lord Wind did even better than I could,” the Butterfly Goddess said with a soft laugh. “Even if I had a body now, I could not control it as delicately as Sister Lord Wind did.”
Mu Yinfeng blushed. “Lady Butterfly Goddess, you praise me too much.”
“Can Sister Lord Wind bear to treat Lady Snow God like this?” the Butterfly Goddess suddenly asked.
Mu Yinfeng fell silent for a moment, then said helplessly, “This is the only way now, Lady Butterfly Goddess. She knows my past, the blood debts I committed when I was still Lord Lanfeng. Rather than let her struggle in conflict, it is better to let her forget my past and only hate me with all her heart. But now, she only knows that I am her junior sister. I have sealed away all her feelings for me.”
There was no problem with sealing Huixue’s feelings for her. Huixue was kind by nature, and Huixue did not know Mu Yinfeng had already learned of Lord Lanfeng’s past. She would probably only restrict her like before, stop her from continuing to cultivate, and keep close watch over her without leaving her side. She would not do anything else.
Right now, Mu Yinfeng did not need to cultivate any art. She only needed to raise her cultivation and mental power. No matter how strong the spiritual energy Lord Lanfeng had sealed inside her body was, it would be useless if she did not have enough strength to receive it.
In truth, it was not that she did not need to cultivate arts. It was that she could not. Last time, when she had mistakenly cultivated the Spirit Gu Control Curse, it had drawn the Star Lords of Great Yin and Great Yang to help her. Only then had she avoided dying in that tribulation. That was the curse the snow yao Snow God had placed on her.
Because of that curse, when the blood vine had been about to acknowledge her as its master, she had refused on her own and only restored her ability to use the blood vine. That was also why the blood vine’s restriction had triggered last night.
“This is too unfair to Sister Lord Wind.”
“It does not matter. I am someone who will die sooner or later anyway.” Mu Yinfeng forced a smile. “In any case, so many people hate me. I should have gotten used to it long ago.”
The memory of everyone condemning Lord Lanfeng still swayed before her eyes. Even if Mu Yinfeng wanted to change it, she did not know how. The cultivation world was now full of hidden currents and strange waves. Ahead, the witch clan was acting in secret. Behind, the executor of the heavenly prophecy would cleanse the world. It was like a fog blocking her sight, and she could not see what stood before her at all.
But she could tell that although nothing seemed wrong with her now, she had already been pulled into this struggle.
“…I have no way to avoid it. I have already been targeted,” Mu Yinfeng said in a low voice.
“Sister Lord Wind…” The Butterfly Goddess’s voice was sorrowful, as if she had remembered something. But she soon returned to her usual gentle calm. “It will pass. If you truly must face something then, I will advance and retreat with Sister Lord Wind. Although my cultivation is not as high as Lady Snow God’s, I can still assist Sister Lord Wind.”
Had the Snow God once fought at her side? But thinking about it, before the two of them broke apart, they had both been divine officials working in the Department of Nature. It was not impossible for them to carry out missions together.
In truth, the Butterfly Goddess was not being modest. Although the three arts of the Butterfly Goddess were extremely subtle, she was still an acquired god. She could not compare with the innate gods of the Department of Nature in cultivation. But that was only under normal circumstances. In a fight to the death, the terrifying explosive force and wide range of harm from burning the fire of her divine position in an instant surpassed everyone.
“…Although my soul is stable now, I can appear at most once a month, and I can only use half of my peak strength,” the Butterfly Goddess said a little embarrassedly. “But Sister Lord Wind, during the Immortal Sects Assembly, please do not let me out. My reputation is not that good.”
Mu Yinfeng slipped out of the inn on tiptoe. At this time, most disciples from each sect had come out, preparing to go to the arena early to look around and get familiar with the terrain.
Suddenly, she felt something touching her calf. Mu Yinfeng lowered her head and saw a small white cat clinging to her leg, trying hard to climb up. But the hem of her robe was extremely smooth. Before the kitten could climb, it slid back down.
“Chuying, why did you come out?” Mu Yinfeng asked in surprise.
“My life-bound spirit beast should naturally fight at my side,” a cool voice suddenly came from behind her.
Mu Yinfeng turned back and saw a girl in snowy robes standing behind her. Her expression was distant and cold, completely different from what Mu Yinfeng had seen last night.
“Eldest Senior Sister?”
“Yinfeng, let us go. We should look around ahead of time. This group is not very favorable for us.” Huixue’s voice was calm. “Seeing our opponents early and judging the situation is not bad.”
When Huixue got up, she discovered Mu Yinfeng was no longer in the room. She came out to look for her and saw that familiar figure standing not far away. She only felt something was wrong. But as for what was wrong, everything was too normal, so normal she could not find a single problem.
She kept feeling as if she had forgotten something. But even when she racked her mind, she could not say what it was.
For some reason, she felt she should say a few words to Mu Yinfeng. But once the words left her mouth, only that one plain sentence came out.
Mu Yinfeng’s lips passed through a faint smile. Huixue did not know whether it was because the sky was still dim or for some other reason, but she somehow felt that smile was a little bleak.
“Are you all right?” Huixue walked a few steps closer, as if she wanted to approach her. But her footsteps suddenly stopped, and she still kept a certain distance from Mu Yinfeng.
Even without using the Linglong Heart Method, Mu Yinfeng could easily see the wariness in Huixue’s heart.
“I am fine.” The smile at the corner of Mu Yinfeng’s mouth faded. From Huixue’s expression, the purpose she wanted had already been reached.
“Really fine?”
Huixue stared at Mu Yinfeng’s face. Her pale-blue eyes looked as if they were carved from ice and snow, quiet, cold, and chilling.
“Really fine.” Mu Yinfeng raised her head slightly and let a smile bloom, but it vanished in the next instant. “Eldest Senior Sister, let us go.”
