Chapter 99 Junior Sister Switches to the Path of Ruthlessness 10 Heart-Locking Curse
He pressed his fingertips against her dimples. She used to be carefree and mischievous, with shallow dimples when she smiled. Years have passed, but he still remembers her bright, clear eyes.
Lin Yuwan narrowed her eyes, her gaze dim, and her long fingers gripped Yun Chiyi's snow-white neck.
Yun Chiyi coughed softly, then suddenly opened her eyes. Lin Yuwan calmly released her grip.
Upon seeing that face again, Yun Chiyi stared at him in a daze. He had always been handsome, and now that his eyebrows and eyes had matured, he was even more dashing.
Lin Yuwan lowered her eyes and asked, "Senior sister, you're awake?"
Yun Chiyi blinked and whispered his name: "Lin Yuwan, how come it's you?"
She recognized him at a glance. Lin Yuwan cupped her face in his long fingers, and the warmth of her skin reddened his eyes: "Yes, I'm still alive."
In the countless times he imagined their meeting, she should be terrified, shrinking back to avoid his touch. But Yun Chiyi half-supported herself, mimicking his movements, her cool hand pressed against his ear. Because her hands were bound, her movements were somewhat restricted.
“You’ve grown up.” Her voice was low and hoarse.
Lin Yuwan's pupils instinctively contracted. While he was still stunned, Yun Chiyi patted his face with the back of her hand: "Aren't you going to untie me?"
Before she could finish speaking, the Binding Immortal Rope on her wrist suddenly tightened, and Yun Chiyi bent over and fell onto the bed. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the superior Binding Immortal Rope and suddenly smiled: "You're willing to use something good to bind me."
Wearing the feather scale bracelet, Lin Yuwan grasped the hand that had once abandoned him, their fingers intertwined. Leaning against the headboard, she asked, "Senior Sister, is there anything else you want to say?"
Yun Chiyi lay there with her hair disheveled, her eyes cold, her brows furrowed with a distant frost, and her lips moved slightly: "Last words?"
She looked calmly at the bed curtains: "There's nothing to say. I'm telling you this for your own good, but you don't believe me. It's a waste of breath to say anything."
The two remained locked in a stalemate when the sound of footsteps outside caught Yun Chiyi's attention. She frowned slightly, and after a short while, an urgent young voice rang out, accompanied by knocking on the door.
"Senior Sister!"
"Senior sister, are you alright?"
Lin Yuwan looked puzzled and turned his head slightly to look at the door: "Senior Sister?" He wasn't calling Yun Chiyi, but confirming the form of address.
Yun Chiyi looked up: "I..."
Lin Yuwan noticed that long fingers and palms covered her mouth and nose, suppressing her words. Yun Chiyi looked up in surprise, but Lin Yuwan remained expressionless, her clear black and white eyes unmoving.
When Wan Qingyun heard that Yun Chiyi had been carried back by a strange man, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and kept knocking on the door: "Senior sister, are you in there?"
"Who is he?" Lin Yuwan asked in a clear and melodious voice.
Yun Chiyi didn't answer. She kicked him in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground. She slid off the bed and stretched out her hands: "Untie me."
Lin Yuwan stood up slowly, and Yun Chiyi was surprised to find that not only had he grown up, but he was also much taller than her, making him look like someone who was not easy to bully.
"Sure, senior sister, grant me one request."
Yun Chiyi replied without hesitation, "Okay."
Lin Yuwan pursed her lips: "I haven't said what it is yet."
Yun Chiyi said, "Wanwan, compared to what will happen in the future, the current crisis is the most important."
Upon hearing this address again, Lin Yuwan's face turned pale and then red. Just as Yun Chiyi thought he was about to back out, he snapped his fingers, and the Immortal Binding Rope loosened.
Yun Chiyi quickly went to open the door and tried to shut Lin Yuwan inside, but Lin Yuwan blocked the door with one hand and leaned out from behind her.
As soon as the person came out, Wan Qingyun, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, stopped: "Senior sister, I heard that you were covered in blood."
He pulled Yun Chiyi over and over to make sure she was clean and without a single scratch: "Thank goodness. If anything had happened to you, Master would definitely not have let me off easily."
Yun Chiyi pulled her hand back and said, "You really are selfish, only caring about whether you'll get scolded."
Wan Qingyun kept wiping away her tears with both hands, and said aggrievedly, "Not only will I be scolded, but I will also be beaten."
After wiping away his tears, he saw the handsome man standing silently behind Yun Chiyi and blurted out, "Senior Sister, who is this fellow Daoist?"
Lin Yuwan stared at Yun Chiyi's profile, wanting to see how she would answer the question.
Yun Chiyi said softly, "An old acquaintance."
The bond between her and her junior brother was condensed into these two words in her mouth. Lin Yuwan didn't even lift her eyelids, and put her hands behind her back.
Yun Chiyi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly leaned to one side and braced herself against the railing. Strange incantations flashed on her wrist again. She hadn't paid attention to them before, but now she immediately realized that it was all Lin Yuwan's doing.
Yun Chi saw that Wan Qingyun wanted to help her, but waved her away, saying, "It's alright. Go down and ask for two rooms. We'll rest here tonight."
Wan Qingyun took the silver from her and hurriedly ran downstairs. He was hungry again after searching for Yun Chiyi all night, and he wanted to eat a bowl of noodles later.
Only the two of them remained in the inn's corridor. Yun Chiyi turned around, raised her wrist, and calmly asked, "What is this?"
"I don't understand what my senior sister is saying." Lin Yuwan walked downstairs calmly, as if he wasn't the culprit.
Yun Chiyi followed his gaze. Where was he going so late at night?
She was exhausted from all the fuss and didn't want to go.
The next morning, no one sat together to eat breakfast. It was Wan Qingyun and Si Qingwu who were eating, while the others sat quietly and sipped their tea.
With half a steamed bun in her mouth, Wan Qingyun busied herself serving tea and water to Yun Chiyi, calling her "Senior Sister" affectionately. No matter how hard or tiring it was, it was all worth it so that Yun Chiyi wouldn't leave her behind.
The Si siblings were stunned. Si Lanjuan, holding her teacup, sighed, "The Qingming Sect is unlike my Cangfeng Sect. They are truly friendly and loving among fellow disciples, which is truly enviable."
Si Qingwu said, "If you're really envious, pack your things and go find a master."
Si Lan curled her fingers and tapped her forehead: "You brat."
"Senior sister, try this."
This time, it wasn't Wan Qingyun who served food to Yun Chiyi. For a moment, all four people at the table were looking at Lin Yuwan.
Unable to contain her confusion, Wan Qingyun asked directly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, why do you address me as Senior Sister?"
No one responded. Wan Qingyun said to herself, "Senior Sister doesn't like to eat this."
Lin Yuwan put down her chopsticks, leaned forward slightly across the table, and said, "When did Senior Sister's tastes change so much?"
Yun Chiyi was so annoyed by the two of them that she put down her chopsticks and said, "Junior brother, let's go now that you're done eating."
Lin Yuwan and Wan Qingyun were about to get up at the same time. Lin Yuwan belatedly realized who she was calling, and sat back down with a half-smile. She slowly raised her eyes to look at Yun Chiyi: "Senior Sister is also going to the Star-Treading Banquet this time, right? We are going the same way, so we can travel together."
Si Qingwu chimed in, "Great! Qingming and Cangfeng have always been on good terms. It's fate that they met. The five of them can make it lively and help each other out."
Yun Chiyi did not refuse. Now that she had found Lin Yuwan, she naturally could not easily separate from her again.
"Let's go hunt demons in Changlinhai first."
The five decided not to use their swords, but instead rented a carriage and several horses in town and slew demons along the way.
We passed through two villages, both of which were peaceful.
Passing by a dilapidated temple, the group couldn't find a place to rest and took a break.
Wan Qingyun and Si Qingwu went out to gather firewood, Si Lanjuan checked the situation inside the temple, Yun Chiyi took her sword and went to look around for any signs of demonic activity, while Lin Yuwan, who was supposed to go in another direction, silently followed behind Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi turned around and saw him following closely behind.
"Have you finished looking at your end?"
Lin Yuwan pressed closer: "Senior sister has barely spoken the whole way, she's been searching for the great demon. Does senior sister also have a heart to rid the Three Realms of evil?"
He chuckled, "I'm curious how the Qingming Sect educates its disciples. My senior sister has even cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, and she only wants to uphold the righteous path. It's quite an interesting thing in the world."
The implication was that Yun Chiyi was also scolded. Yun Chiyi's cultivation of the Path of Ruthlessness was completely accidental. Wu Si said that her spiritual meridians were blocked, but her mind was clear. She could try her luck, otherwise she would only have a few years left to live.
As for finding the great demon, Yun Chiyi bluntly said: "Do you know that besides withered vines, demonic power can also suppress Gu poison? Lin Yuwan, my primary purpose in doing all this is to live."
That night, she stole all the withered vines. When the Gu worms took effect, he was in so much pain that his soul felt like it was being crushed. By chance, Lin Yuwan also discovered that the demon core was also a rare and effective medicine.
Yun Chiyi is currently the prized disciple of Elder Qingming, enjoying a life of tranquility and beauty, but behind the scenes, she relies on a demon core to prolong her life.
Lin Yuwan didn't expect her to tell everything, but she told everything without any attempt to hide it.
Yun Chiyi said again, "Stop talking about me, Lin Yuwan. You've become a handsome senior brother, so who would still remember Chengming's junior brother?"
Lin Yuwan's face darkened immediately, and she said, "Senior Sister has a really bad memory."
Yun Chiyi grabbed his sleeve and provoked him, "Don't call me senior sister anymore. It's not proper and it sounds a bit strange."
Lin Yuwan looked down and saw her hand, her breathing quickened.
Didn't she say that we should follow the proper hierarchy and only call her "senior sister"?
She changed her mind after joining another sect.
He looked reluctant to part with her, but Yun Chiyi's eyes flickered, a smile playing on her lips, and she gradually loosened her grip: "I'll go take a look ahead."
As soon as she took a step, her hands and feet were bound by the Immortal Binding Rope. Yun Chiyi fell into the grass beside her to avoid falling directly to the ground.
She nestled in the grass, her eyes still showing no anger as she looked at him: "Does the superior Immortal Binding Rope have any other use for you?"
Lin Yuwan squatted down to look at her: "No, they specifically came here to deal with you."
Yun Chi was speechless for a moment.
Lin Yuwan placed her wrist against her hand and said gently, "Senior sister, didn't you want to know what this is?"
"What you and I hold is a heart-locking spell from the demon realm, a spell used by demon couples to prevent each other from changing their hearts."
"If one of them betrays, they will suffer the agony of being burned alive."
"I was originally unable to cast the spell, but it was all because my senior sister's cultivation level was too low at the time, and I succeeded on my first try."
"Senior sister, the Heart-Locking Spell has another use: to live and die together. If I were to drown in the river that day, you would not live more than three days."
Yun Chiyi's brow twitched slightly: "How do you know demonic magic?"
Lin Yuwan smiled and said coldly, "I learned it by chance while flipping through Chang Heng's forbidden techniques."
He's quite talented.
Lin Yuwan helped Yun Chiyi up from the withered grass and deftly removed the stray leaves from her hair.
"Senior sister, only you and I are bound together forever; everyone else is an outsider."
