After Pretending To Have Amnesia, My Mortal Enemy Senior Sister Said She Loved Me - Chapter 2

Filthy things?

Xie Wenyin choked, and her little face immediately flushed red.

Why was the system pretending to be so reserved at such a crucial moment? Shutting off its hearing and vision—now she had no choice but to ask with her own mouth.

“Senior Sister… last night… uh.”

How was she supposed to ask this…

Feng Ning looked perfectly calm. “Looks like you really did lose your memory.”

Her tone was neither warm nor cold, and Xie Wenyin could not figure out what she meant, so she could only nod. “Yes…”

“Then keep pretending a little longer. The you of the past could never keep your cool.”

Xie Wenyin knew what Feng Ning was talking about. The original host had been stupid and vicious to begin with. Every time she did something bad, she wanted nothing more than to howl about it until everyone knew, unable to wait even a single second before trying to drag Feng Ning down from her divine pedestal.

Xie Wenyin could not understand it either. Just what kind of deep hatred did the original host have against Senior Sister?

It seemed even the original novel had never given a clear explanation.

Xie Wenyin hastily put her clothes on, looking rather embarrassed.

The moment she opened the door, she saw several cultivators in disciple robes holding weapons. The instant they spotted Xie Wenyin, they looked as if creditors had found someone who owed them money and charged toward her like mad.

“Xie Wenyin, you shameless thing! You actually dared to covet Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable’s man! We’ll tear you apart and avenge Lord Moon Goddess!”

When had Xie Wenyin ever seen a scene like this? She hurriedly retreated back into the room and slammed the door shut.

The original host truly was an idiot. How could something that should have been done secretly end up being noticed by so many people? Xie Wenyin felt a headache coming on.

Feng Ning was like a spectator, watching as Xie Wenyin rushed out and then retreated back in. As she watched, she draped an outer robe over herself.

Before Xie Wenyin could even catch her breath, a gust of palm wind flung the door open. The angle at which it opened was extremely precise—just enough for them to see the people who had arrived.

Xie Wenyin quickly took a few steps back.

Under the situation of being attacked from both front and back, she still felt that hiding behind Feng Ning would give her a little more sense of security.

The disciples clearly saw the person inside the residence. It was actually Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable, not the so-called adulterer.

What was going on??

Seeing the cultivators exchange confused glances, Xie Wenyin knew that her little life could be considered saved.

But the next moment, Feng Ning glanced at Xie Wenyin almost casually.

“You’re looking for her?”

The disciples froze, then nodded.

“She’s yours.”

And just like that, Feng Ning shut her outside the door.

The turn of events came too quickly. Xie Wenyin looked at the group in front of her and laughed dryly twice. “Fellow Daoists, we… is there some misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding? Xie Wenyin, let me tell you—”

Before the other person could finish, Xie Wenyin interrupted, “Anyway, no matter what, I injured my head last night and lost my memory! Um… my senior sister can testify to that. If you don’t believe me, go ask her.”

While the cultivators were still digesting her explanation, Xie Wenyin hurriedly ran away, leaving that troublesome place behind. She vaguely heard a few more curses from behind her.

The noise gradually faded into the distance. Inside the room, Feng Ning walked to the bronze mirror and gently pressed a hand to her forehead.

That faint burning sensation began to surge up again. Fine sweat slowly appeared at her temples, a flush rose across her cheeks, and her chest rose and fell.

In the bronze mirror, the noble and pure Immortal Venerable who had once seemed like the full moon in the ninth heaven now looked somewhat dazed and disordered. Her pale, luminous fingers clutched her collar, as if trying to imprison the beast inside her that was about to break free.

Feng Ning could not help curling her lips, her eyes filling with deep disdain.

Her good junior sister had made quite some progress. The powder she had used this time was truly potent.

Feng Ning had always believed that no poison, no matter what kind, could harm her in the slightest, because she was strong enough. Yet now, she had nearly fallen to this aphrodisiac powder. She had already suppressed it last night, but this morning, it had surged up again.

If it were not her first time coming into contact with such a dirty thing, her body would not have reacted so strongly.

Yet Joyous Union Sect called this secret medicine one of the pleasures of the mortal world, a rare and exquisite treasure. In the mouths of the Joyous Union Sect cultivators, Feng Ning was precisely the sort of person who failed to appreciate what was good.

She looked at herself in the mirror as she gradually calmed down, then tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear.

Feng Ning clearly heard Xie Wenyin outside the room once again claiming that she had lost her memory. She thought that she might as well treat it as entertainment and see what tricks this foolish junior sister intended to play this time.

Following the original host’s memories, Xie Wenyin returned to her own bedchamber.

Thinking of what had just happened, her face fell.

[Host, don’t lose heart. Although you’re despised by everyone, and your cultivation is pitifully low, and if anything happens to Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable, you’ll be the first one implicated…]

“Why don’t you just shut up?” Xie Wenyin was already worrying about the uncertain road ahead, yet this system still did not forget to add fuel to the fire. Truly hateful.

[But! Host, this system has a reward for you.]

A reward? Xie Wenyin, who had originally been lying spread out on the bed like the character “大,” suddenly sprang upright like a carp flipping over.

“Then tell me, what reward? Could it be a reward that lets me go back to my original world?”

[That… is impossible. Going back requires a very particular opportunity. For now, Host, you should just settle down in Moyu Sect.]

Xie Wenyin was not annoyed. She had never truly expected the system to send her back anyway. It was not as if she had read all those transmigration-into-a-book novels for nothing.

Fortunately, she was broad-minded. Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. One day, she would definitely find the opportunity to return to her original world.

[Considering that Host successfully resolved the drugging crisis immediately after transmigrating here, I’ll make an exception and give you one chance to draw a card.]

“Well, that sounds great. Then what can I draw? Divine weapons? A golden finger that can overturn clouds and rain?”

[Host, don’t be too greedy…]

The system seemed a little dissatisfied. Xie Wenyin felt as if an invisible hand had knocked her on the head.

[Although there’s nothing like what you mentioned, the contents are still very rich. Would you like to try drawing once?]

Xie Wenyin pursed her lips, thinking that it was still better than no reward at all. She might as well draw and see. It was just that in the past, she had always been extremely unlucky. Every time she drew cards in games, she had to ask a friend with better luck to help her.

[Drawing card…]

[Congratulations, Host. Ability activated: cultivation gained within one year ×2.]

Hearing this, Xie Wenyin was delighted. This ability was actually pretty good.

[Every time Host successfully increases Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable’s favorability by one hundred, you will receive one chance to draw a card. Do your best, human chosen by this system!]

Xie Wenyin was amused by its motivational words. Although the road ahead was difficult, it seemed there was still quite a bit of hope.

But how could she make an Immortal Venerable as noble and untouched by mortal dust as Feng Ning change her view of her?

Xie Wenyin could not help complaining again that the original host had committed too many sins. Her credibility was pitifully low.

Only after gaining one hundred favorability points could she draw a card once. The system was truly stingy.

She sprawled on the bed and tossed and turned for quite a while before an idea emerged in her mind.

If she wanted to rebuild trust with someone, relying on words alone would absolutely not work. She had to make some real, concrete changes.

Xie Wenyin dug out her sword. The sword tassel hanging from the hilt had already been pressed into shape by something heavy, showing that the original host had not paid the slightest attention to cultivation.

“With such an unreliable attitude, how did she even enter the inner sect and become the Moon Goddess’s junior sister?” Xie Wenyin grabbed her sword and walked out of the room.

[The original host’s family was extremely wealthy. Back then, when the sect was ruined by the demons, most of the spirit stones used for reconstruction came from the Xie family.]

…Great. Another spoiled rich brat who bought her way into a high position.

Why did people like this exist whether it was in her previous world or the cultivation world? Xie Wenyin shook her head helplessly.

She strode toward the sect’s main hall. Along the way, she received quite a few more disdainful looks. Although all of this was what the original host deserved, she herself was innocent after all, and this kind of malice made her feel very uncomfortable.

The doors to the hall were wide open. Xie Wenyin looked inside, her steps hesitant, somewhat conflicted over whether she should go in.

“Feng Ning, your junior sister is here.”

Huh? Senior Sister was actually inside the hall too?

Before Xie Wenyin could even take a step, her limbs were wrapped by an invisible current of air, and her feet gradually left the ground!

The next moment, she was dragged into the main hall.

As soon as she entered, the currents around her withdrew. With a bang, Xie Wenyin landed hard on her backside.

Before she could even cry out “ow,” she saw Feng Ning leaning against a jade seat, glancing at her.

On the main seat sat a white-haired woman. Her expression was gentle, yet it did not lack dignity. Watching Xie Wenyin get tossed around by Feng Ning until she fell in such a sorry heap, she sighed.

Xie Wenyin knew that this was the Sect Leader. She quickly got up, glanced at Feng Ning with a pout, then turned toward the Sect Leader.

“Sect Leader, this disciple… this disciple has come today with a request.”

“Speak.” The Sect Leader clearly did not think Xie Wenyin could say anything good.

Xie Wenyin gripped the sword at her waist and said solemnly, “Sect Leader, this disciple injured her head this morning, causing me to forget many things. I only know that I am a disciple of Moyu Sect. As for everything else, I remember nothing.”

Hearing this, the Sect Leader looked at Feng Ning, seemingly wanting confirmation from the senior sister involved.

Feng Ning said nothing. She only gave the Sect Leader a look, meaning: If you believe that, you’re an idiot.

Ignoring how the people above viewed her, Xie Wenyin continued, “I heard that before losing my memory, this disciple was a despicable person despised by all, unworthy of the sect, unworthy of the Sect Leader, and unworthy of Senior Sister.”

“So this disciple has thought it through. I request to leave the inner sect of my own accord.”

The moment these words came out, the Sect Leader’s hand holding the horsetail whisk loosened slightly. But the person beside her remained cold and unmoved.

[System notification: Senior Sister’s favorability -10. Current favorability: -210.]

??? Xie Wenyin looked at Feng Ning with a completely baffled expression.

It was obvious that the other woman did not believe a single word she said and only felt she was being hypocritical.

Xie Wenyin sighed, her gaze never leaving Feng Ning.

“I will cultivate on my own and participate in the next Outer Sect Grand Competition. When the time comes, I will become your junior sister openly and honorably.”

Xie Wenyin’s rebellious streak had been successfully provoked by Feng Ning. Perhaps it was precisely this sudden decrease in favorability that made Xie Wenyin want to prove something to her.

She did not even remember what the Sect Leader said afterward. She only remembered that when she rose and left, her back was very firm, carrying quite the tragic air of a warrior determined to march to her death.

It was only when the system reminded her that she had walked in the wrong direction and was not heading back to her bedchamber that Xie Wenyin abruptly came back to her senses and paused her own fantasy.

Looking at her fully furnished, extravagantly spacious bedchamber, Xie Wenyin gritted her teeth and began packing her daily necessities.

Since she had said she would start over, she could not indulge in pleasure the way she had before.

Pack up, then. She would move to the outer sect.

Feng Ning watched Xie Wenyin put on that affected performance and leave the sect’s main hall, merely waiting to see how many days it would take before she could no longer keep pretending.

“Feng Ning, has your old illness flared up recently? Your complexion is so pale.” The Sect Leader looked at her languid appearance with some concern.

Feng Ning, however, looked utterly indifferent. “This old illness has been with me for so many years. It has long since stopped being a problem.”

“You should still be more careful. You know, back then, the position of Sect Leader should have been yours to begin with. I am merely holding it for you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Feng Ning waved a hand, her brows furrowing slightly.

“Holding it for me or not, this Venerable has no interest in that position.”

The Sect Leader seemed to have long expected such an answer from this proud and solitary Immortal Venerable, and she smiled faintly. “I don’t care whether you’re interested or not. In any case, the sect will sooner or later be handed over to you. So this body of yours cannot collapse.”

After saying that, she stood up. “Tonight, no one else will come disturb you. I will dismiss the guards. Go to Yuqing Pool and soak in a medicinal bath to recuperate for the night.”

“…Thanks.”

—

Xie Wenyin was extremely grateful that her former self had loved eating and had raised this body to be quite sturdy. Otherwise, just moving houses would have been enough to tire her half to death.

Looking at how her room had become cramped, even somewhat shabby, she did not feel disappointed. Instead, she felt much more at ease.

That large room from before had made her feel guilty.

After resting for a while, she suddenly felt empty in the stomach. Xie Wenyin planned to go to the dining hall and see if there was anything to eat.

She had just opened the door when she saw two familiar-looking women standing outside, seemingly waiting for her. Upon seeing her, both of them came forward with smiling faces.

Xie Wenyin searched through the original host’s memories for a while before finally remembering these two. Both were the original host’s disreputable friends.

Sigh. Two cannon fodder characters.

“Wenyin, you haven’t forgotten our agreement, have you?”

Uh. She really did not remember having any agreement with these two.

Seeing that she did not speak, one of them directly pulled her toward the inner sect.

“You promised us you’d take us to broaden our horizons. Didn’t you say Yuqing Pool is full of handsome men and beautiful women? Maybe we’ll even run into an elder!”

“Exactly, exactly. It’ll definitely be a feast for the eyes, hehe…”

…So the original host had agreed to take them to peep at high-level cultivators bathing?!

Xie Wenyin immediately stopped walking and turned to leave, but the two of them tugged at her with great strength. Even if she wanted to go, she could not get away.

And just like that, she was dragged all the way to Yuqing Pool.
