After Pretending To Have Amnesia, My Mortal Enemy Senior Sister Said She Loved Me - Chapter 3

Xie Wenyin was dragged forward by the two of them. She struggled with all her might and finally broke free of their hold.

“Who agreed to anything with you? I’m telling you, my head is injured. I’ve forgotten a lot of things. I don’t even know the two of you, so stop pulling me around!”

Xie Wenyin steadied herself and snapped in irritation.

The two of them looked as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. They exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.

“What kind of act are you putting on now? Amnesia? Don’t tell me you used this to trick your senior sister too. Would she actually believe that?”

Xie Wenyin disliked the unreliable air around these two very much. Even the tone they used when mentioning Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable was extremely disrespectful, and her expression darkened.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

She did not want to spend another moment with these two cannon fodder characters.

But these two scoundrels were like sticky plasters. No matter how she tried, she could not shake them off. Once again, they blocked Xie Wenyin’s path.

“I say, Xie Wenyin, why are you pretending to be different? Your Xie family isn’t what it used to be either. We’re all the same kind of people.” One of the cannon fodder characters blocked her with a glare, eyebrows raised.

Xie Wenyin slapped the other person’s hand away and said unhappily, “I am still your senior sister, at least. Acting like this is truly insolent.”

The two of them seemed not to have expected Xie Wenyin, who had always been unserious, to speak to them so solemnly. For a moment, they froze. Then they burst out laughing again.

“Xie Wenyin, what’s wrong with you? Senior sister? You?”

“That day, you were the one who begged us to find that Joyous Union charm drug for you. What, now you’re turning your face and refusing to acknowledge us?”

Only then did she finally remember. So it had been the original host who begged these two…

Xie Wenyin finally understood why these two cannon fodder characters could be so arrogant.

Could the original host be any stupider? If she wanted to find medicine, could she not have found someone more reliable…

But then again, what reliable person would have supported the original host in doing something like that? These two were clearly waiting to watch the original host make a fool of herself, while also using the matter as leverage so they could control Xie Wenyin at any time…

For example, right now, they were using it to threaten Xie Wenyin into taking them to peek at immortal elders bathing!

“If you don’t take us, we’ll tell everyone that you asked us to find the medicine. Let’s see whether your senior sister will extract your immortal bones!”

They only thought Xie Wenyin had failed to put the medicine into Divine Lord Huaiyu’s cup. They had no idea that all the aphrodisiac powder had been drunk by Senior Sister instead…

And the other woman was perfectly fine.

On the contrary, Xie Wenyin herself had gotten so drunk she practically died on the spot. She knew absolutely nothing about what had happened that night.

Xie Wenyin sighed. Right now, she had only just made a bold declaration that she was going to turn over a new leaf. She did not want this matter to be exposed again.

And in the instant she hesitated, the two of them once again dragged her toward Yuqing Pool.

Yuqing Pool was located deep within the sect’s inner area. It was the one and only supremely sacred and pure place within the sect. The pool itself was not large, yet it seemed to gather all the spiritual energy of the heavens into that misty square of water.

On ordinary days, only high-level disciples, Immortal Venerables, and the Sect Leader could enter. Otherwise, only disciples who had made contributions to the sect and received entry into the pool as a reward would be allowed through.

Xie Wenyin thought, Who said the original host was stupid? She was clearly sharp in all the wrong ways.

Knowing she could not get in herself, she had fooled these two cannon fodder characters into risking their lives for her.

Just as Xie Wenyin was calculating how to explain to them that they were not allowed to enter this place, she realized that the high-level cultivators guarding Yuqing Pool today were all gone.

What was going on?

Seeing that no one was guarding the place, the cannon fodder character beside her gave a scoff. “And here I thought it’d be so hard to get in. If I’d known, we wouldn’t have needed you at all.” After saying that, she even rolled her eyes at Xie Wenyin.

“If you don’t need me, then I’m leaving.”

Xie Wenyin was more than happy to stay out of it.

“That won’t do.” The cannon fodder character on her left, the one with a hair ribbon tied in her hair, said with ill intentions, “If we get caught, we’re just small fry. You’re the boss.”

So if anything happened, Xie Wenyin would be the scapegoat.

Right now, she wanted nothing more than to give each of these two a solid punch. Unfortunately, her strength was about the same as theirs, and if it was one against two, she had even less chance of winning.

And so, under the cover of night, with two dragging one along, the three of them slipped inside.

In the original host’s memories, she had never had the qualifications to enter Yuqing Pool, so Xie Wenyin got lost as soon as she went in.

Immortal qi and warm mist swirled before her. Several times, she nearly stepped into empty air and fell.

Her original idea of running away while the two of them were not paying attention fell through.

There were several hot springs inside, seven or eight pools of varying sizes, scattered among white jade-like rocks.

Strangely, as they walked deeper in, they did not see a single person.

“Since there’s no one here, let’s hurry up and leave,” Xie Wenyin reminded them aloud.

But the two of them pretended not to hear. They only pushed her to the front, forcing Xie Wenyin to become the one scouting the way.

When they reached the innermost part of Yuqing Pool, they finally saw a bit of light. In the medicinal bath not far away, there seemed to be someone.

“Hey.” The person beside her lowered her voice and patted Xie Wenyin. “You go take a look first.”

Clearly, these two were the ones who wanted to peep at a beauty bathing, but Xie Wenyin resolutely refused to go.

At that very moment, on the other side of the medicinal bath, the mist parted. The person meditating inside stood up, her exquisite figure reflected on the screen, enough to stir countless fantasies.

In the instant Xie Wenyin was stunned, the person beside her pushed her forward again. Although the screen blocked her from seeing the beauty in the medicinal bath clearly, Xie Wenyin somehow felt that the other person was looking straight at her.

Perhaps it was because she had a guilty conscience. Xie Wenyin turned her head away and stopped looking.

On the other side of the screen, the person in the pool sank back into the bath. Just as the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, a cold, clear voice sounded.

That person was clearly some distance away from her, yet Xie Wenyin felt as if the other woman were leaning right beside her ear as she spoke.

“You dare spy on this Venerable. You have quite some nerve.”

That was… Senior Sister’s voice?!

Xie Wenyin’s heart went cold. She had just turned her head when she saw that the two culprits had already taken to their heels and run! They had left her alone, disheveled in the wind.

If she did not run now, what was she waiting for? Run!

Xie Wenyin immediately made her decision. It was as if a ferocious beast were chasing her from behind; she did not dare stop for even a moment.

In the end, what caught up from behind was not savage, hideous fangs, but her senior sister’s spell—gentle beyond measure, yet leaving her completely unable to struggle free.

Without a doubt, Xie Wenyin was once again dragged back by that invisible spell.

The prey had returned to the hunter’s net.

Xie Wenyin simply stopped struggling. She lowered her head, rubbed her hands together, and waited for the person before her to criticize her. Just like how she used to wait for her homeroom teacher’s lecture.

She felt a little speechless. She really was unlucky. For a vicious female supporting character to end up like this was embarrassing. But for some reason, whenever Xie Wenyin was in front of Feng Ning, she always became timid and submissive.

The pressure Senior Sister gave off was simply too strong.

Feng Ning was still soaking in the medicinal bath. Her arms were resting on the edge of the pool. Under the moonlight, droplets of water slid down the delicate texture of her skin.

Her swan-like neck was long and slender. As she tilted her head up slightly, it outlined a soft, graceful curve.

This made Xie Wenyin unable to stop herself from lifting her head.

Senior Sister really was… so beautiful! That collarbone, those shoulders and neck—Xie Wenyin only felt that the original novel had completely failed to capture how shockingly stunning Feng Ning was.

She only felt that her own experience was too shallow. She truly had never seen anyone with looks like Feng Ning’s. She only wanted to look one more time.

[Host, hurry up and stop looking. This is very impolite.]

Xie Wenyin came back to herself and felt her cheeks heat up a little.

She thought to herself that she and Feng Ning were both women, so taking a glance should not be a big deal, right? But for some reason, she suddenly felt a trace of embarrassment.

With a hiss, Xie Wenyin suddenly felt water splash into her eyes and hurriedly covered them.

“Look again, and I’ll dig out your eyeballs.”

[System notification: Senior Sister’s favorability -10. Current favorability: -220.]

[…I told you not to peek!]

Xie Wenyin jumped in fright. She rubbed her eyes and thought, This is bad. The favorability is dropping way too fast. If it keeps being deducted, she was afraid Feng Ning would directly press her into the pool and drown her.

Since she had already come here, she had to do something to raise that favorability a little.

Xie Wenyin thought for a moment, then simply walked slowly toward the medicinal bath.

“Senior Sister…” she said cautiously. “You’re soaking in a medicinal bath, right? Are you injured? Do you need your junior sister to help?”

Feng Ning slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling on Xie Wenyin’s face. Her expression could be called sincere, and her eyes seemed clear enough. She did not look as if she were plotting anything.

Feng Ning lifted a brow slightly. “Keep you here so you can spy on me openly?”

Hearing this, Xie Wenyin hurriedly waved her hands in denial. “No, no, Senior Sister, listen to my explanation.”

Xie Wenyin hastily explained to Feng Ning that those two cannon fodder characters had dragged her here, though she hid the details about being threatened by them.

“So, Senior Sister, why don’t you let me attend on you? Consider it compensation, okay?”

Please, Senior Sister, add even a little favorability. Stop deducting points. I still want to rely on favorability to enjoy drawing cards.

Xie Wenyin looked at Feng Ning expectantly.

“Pour water.”

Hearing Feng Ning’s order, Xie Wenyin immediately replied, “Right away.”

Relying on the original host’s memories, she used a spell to pull over the wooden bucket not far away. The bathwater, infused with spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs, gave off a rich herbal fragrance. The heat rising from it made Xie Wenyin feel a little hot, so she rolled up her sleeves.

To show her sincerity, she did not use magic. Instead, she picked up the wooden ladle and added water to the bath one scoop at a time.

“Senior Sister, what kind of injury do you have? Is it serious?”

The other woman did not pay attention to her. Xie Wenyin pursed her lips, and seeing Feng Ning’s eyes lightly closed, she stopped talking.

Just when she thought Senior Sister would not bother with her, the other woman spoke softly:

“An old illness. It’s nothing.”

Xie Wenyin’s earlier disappointment was swept away at once. “So that’s how it is.”

She thought that although Feng Ning was cold as ice and sometimes fierce toward her, no matter what Xie Wenyin asked, she would always answer.

The temperature in the pool rose. Her wide outer robe was stained with water, making Xie Wenyin feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she wanted to take off the cumbersome robe.

“You’re not allowed to take it off.”

Xie Wenyin froze and stopped undressing. She saw that Feng Ning clearly had her eyes closed, so how did she know what she was about to do?

Forget it, forget it. Since she was attending on someone, she had to listen to that person’s words. She only hoped her good senior sister would show mercy and raise that favorability a little.

The scent of spiritual medicine in the pool gradually faded. The moonlight was rich, and the surroundings were silent. Their breathing intertwined, gradually becoming amplified.

Feng Ning opened her eyes and saw Xie Wenyin sitting beside her, still holding the wooden ladle.

The other woman had her eyes closed, one hand propping up her chin. She looked drowsy, her head bobbing up and down like a chick pecking at rice.

…Sleepy, but she does not know to go back. Fool.

Feng Ning did not wake her. Instead, she got up on her own and prepared to dress.

Xie Wenyin’s head dipped, and she woke from her doze. Realizing that she had accidentally fallen asleep, she hurriedly stood.

The first thing she saw was the clear, firm lines of Feng Ning’s back.

“Senior… Senior Sister.” Xie Wenyin stammered a little, then seemed to think of something to say. “Let me help you dress.”

After saying that, she stepped forward.

Just as she reached out, Feng Ning dodged in a flash, her voice hoarse. “No need.”

Who would have thought that Xie Wenyin would lose her footing? With no one in front of her to lean on, she fell straight into the medicinal bath!

Water splashed everywhere. Feng Ning reacted quickly and raised an isolation barrier. The instant the barrier formed, she had already draped on her outer robe, her movements smooth as flowing clouds and water.

Xie Wenyin yelled and choked on several mouthfuls of water before finally standing up from the pool.

“Senior Sister, what were you dodging for?”

Xie Wenyin sighed in her heart. Sure enough, Senior Sister hated her so much that she would not even let her help her dress.

Feng Ning turned her back, hiding the trace of panic on her face that she would not allow anyone else to notice. In the next moment, she had once again become that uniquely proud and aloof Moon Goddess Immortal Venerable.

“Go to Qingjing Hall and receive your punishment.”

She left only that sentence behind before leaving Yuqing Pool.

So Senior Sister had not forgotten the crime of spying she had committed. Xie Wenyin had thought she could muddle through. She sighed.

She could see it clearly now. Forget gaining favorability—it was already good enough if no points were deducted.

But at that moment, the system’s voice rang out:

[Senior Sister’s favorability +1. Current favorability: -219.]

…Eh?
