Yun Ge had isolated herself from the outside world these past few months, staying inside the ice cave and not going anywhere.
Every day, Huan Mo would come to see Yun Ge, and Yun Ge never asked Huan Mo, nor did she ever ask what Huan Mo was doing every day.
Huan Mo never brought it up either.
Lin Yuan was a homebody, the kind who could judge that summer was over and winter had come by the oil solidifying in instant noodles – a complete shut-in!
So Lin Yuan enjoyed the current life of telling jokes to Yun Ge every day to make her happy, despite being tortured by the Ice Spirit Beast and heartbroken by Huan Mo. But at the same time, she was more worried about Yun Ge. Since waking up, Yun Ge had never taken the initiative to mention anything about Huan Mo or the situation outside.
“Sister Senior…” Lin Yuan set the food in her hands, feeling uneasy as she saw her senior sister’s expressionless face. Tentatively, she said, “Senior Sister, would you like to go see the snow? It’s snowing outside.”
Yun Ge opened her eyes. “Lin Yuan, tell me about the background of this novel.”
Yun Ge thought to herself, that she must at least know what she did wrong to end up in that situation.
Wait a minute, Yun Ge remembered her original fate.
Being disfigured, thrown into a low-class brothel, and now… um… there really should be a comparison! Only with comparison can there be a gap, and with a gap, Yun Ge felt like… her life wasn’t as miserable as she had imagined.
“…Can I not say?” Lin Yuan’s face turned pale.
“I’ve read a chapter…” Yun Ge meant she had seen the most brutal parts, so what else was the issue?
…At that moment, Lin Yuan realized how thoroughly she had courted death!
“Go on,” Yun Ge said, but her tone carried a hint of coercion.
Lin Yuan knew she couldn’t escape, and feeling guilty towards Yun Ge, she could only grit her teeth and begin…
“Well…” Lin Yuan looked fearless, “Actually, this novel of mine was supposed to transition. Originally, I wanted to write a cultivation novel with an upgrade system.”
“…I didn’t notice. The setting of the world is quite different from the cultivation world. What’s with Buddhist cultivation?” Yun Ge glanced at Lin Yuan.
“Sister Senior, life is tough! I swear I never intended to give the female lead the bizarre attribute of Buddhist cultivation. How can I slap the face of the cool cultivation novels with a ‘heart of pure kindness’ as an exclusive attribute!” When it came to the novel, Lin Yuan became enthusiastic, having held it in for so long!
“You never intended?” You even know that ‘Heart of pure kindness’ is a bizarre setting. It’s really not easy!
“I said I was planning to transition, but I got so angry!!! So I picked up my old habits again. Because it got negative reviews, I had to come up with a gimmick, so I directly added a ‘heart of pure kindness’ to the female lead’s setting, a miserable setting!”
“Oh right, did you say this is a romance novel?” Yun Ge remembered something.
“…” Lin Yuan was embarrassed, but still explained the plot.
“…” Yun Ge felt a surge of anger upon hearing about the female lead being forced.
“Um… Sister Senior…” Lin Yuan remembered she had said something she shouldn’t have, changing the subject. “Sister Senior, do you know…”
“Why did Huan Mo fall into demonic possession? Logically speaking, Buddhist cultivation is the least likely to fall into demonic possession. Moreover, in the original plot, the female protagonist perfectly portrayed the words ‘suffering,’ yet she never gave up her ‘heart of pure goodness,’ let alone succumb to such a difficult thing as demonic possession. Senior Sister, do you know why?”
Yun Ge shook her head. How could she possibly know? Wait a moment, Yun Ge remembered the first time she saw Huan Mo’s eyes turn red in the small realm of the Guiyi Sect. At that time, because there were too many things happening, she had forgotten about it.
“When the world was being set up, do you remember the setting for Buddhist cultivation?” Yun Ge asked, her tone not as indifferent as before.
“I remember! I remember!” Lin Yuan saw that Yun Ge wasn’t as cold as she had been before, and her heart was filled with joy. She nodded.
“What if there was no Buddha Body for Buddhist cultivation?” Yun Ge hadn’t found detailed information about Buddhist cultivation, so she didn’t expect that unexpected plot twist from the author.
“Senior Sister, what do you mean by that? What happened to the female protagonist’s Buddha Body?”
“What happened?” Yun Ge could tell from Lin Yuan’s expression that it wouldn’t be good news, but she still held onto a faint hope.
“Senior Sister, don’t scare me. Did the author play around with her Buddha Body?” Lin Yuan was shocked, blurting out, then realizing, “Well, it makes sense. None of her character settings match the original ones, they’ve all collapsed. It’s normal!”
“…” Yun Ge remembered Huan Mo’s madness at that time…
“What happened to the Buddha’s Body?” Yun Ge only knew about the Buddha’s Body but didn’t know what would happen without it…
“Senior Sister, I told you, don’t hit me… The part about Buddhist cultivation was me coming up with ideas on my own to torment the female protagonist and to have some fun anytime, anywhere. So, I used the ‘heart of pure goodness,’ but then some readers demanded logical consistency in smut! Can you imagine my feeling when I saw over five thousand words in the comments discussing how a female protagonist with a ‘heart of pure goodness’ could survive such explicit scenes? Then I realized, it sounded quite reasonable, so to remedy that, I added a ‘Buddha Body,’ which means, with the Buddha Body’s existence, hardly anyone in the world could harm the female protagonist, ensuring that no matter how she was bullied, she could still survive!”
“…” Yun Ge felt like she had nothing else to say except wanting to slap the person in front of her…
“Senior Sister…” Lin Yuan wished she had known she would end up in this book. If she had, she wouldn’t have messed around!
“Is Huan Mo’s demonic possession related to the lack of protection from the Buddha Body?” Yun Ge pressed her temple and asked softly.
“…” Lin Yuan didn’t know if it was related, but at that moment, she felt like she had to nod!
Yun Ge saw Lin Yuan nod and felt a mix of emotions, unsure of what to say.
When Huan Mo returned, Yun Ge’s attitude was much better than yesterday.
Huan Mo faintly felt she had an answer. Lin Yuan had once said she was a prophet, knowing almost everything about her.
Huan Mo never worried that Lin Yuan would say something she shouldn’t because she had imposed restrictions.
How could she possibly have known? She did indeed say what needed to be said at the critical moment, but she also said quite a lot that shouldn’t have been said.
“…” Yun Ge sighed, feeling a bit melodramatic herself. The root cause of that matter was partly her fault.
“Master…” Huan Mo stood at the entrance of the ice cave, calling out to Yun Ge with the air of a child who had made a mistake and didn’t know what to do. Yun Ge’s heart softened.
“…” Yun Ge stood up. She had been avoiding it for so long, not wanting to face the fact, letting the child panic alone for so long…
Yun Ge was sad in her heart. When that incident happened, she felt uncomfortable, so how about this child?
Yun Ge walked up to Huan Mo and looked into the tired eyes of Huan Mo, feeling a pang of heartache. “Disciple…”
Yun Ge embraced Huan Mo.
Huan Mo was stunned for a moment, then reached out and hugged Yun Ge’s waist. “Master!!!”
The thick grievance in her voice made Yun Ge feel a bit guilty. She was indeed being too melodramatic.
“Master…” the person in her arms called softly, “Happy birthday…”
Yun Ge was taken aback. She had forgotten all about her birthday, never expecting that the child would still remember.
Huan Mo let go of Yun Ge, and then took something out of her embrace. When Yun Ge saw it, she was stunned. She picked up the small doll Huan Mo was holding…
Two dolls, one large and one small. The large doll had a bright smile, embracing the smaller doll warmly… The large puppet resembled Yun Ge, while the smaller one resembled Huan Mo when she was younger…
“Master… Please don’t leave me…” Huan Mo placed the puppet in Yun Ge’s hands.
“…” Yun Ge looked at the smiling large puppet, unsure of what she was feeling.
“Master, I made this myself…”
“Very good…” Yun Ge patted Huan Mo’s head, feeling the stiffness in her body, knowing she was afraid. So she whispered, “Master won’t leave you. Don’t be afraid…”
—
Yun Ge didn’t stay alone in the ice cave anymore; she also walked out.
Lin Yuan was very surprised. Did she do something? Why did it feel like Yun Ge’s relationship with Huan Mo had improved??? Just a month ago, when the two met, Yun Ge was indifferent, as if she was about to ascend to immortality. Why has Yun Ge become a gentle and considerate senior sister now?!
“Senior Sister?” Lin Yuan walked up to Yun Ge, her eyes scanning the silver-clad world just like Yun Ge’s, but her mind had already twisted in countless ways!
“Yeah?” Yun Ge understood how much she had misunderstood Lin Yuan, the silly girl. She had thought the girl was pretending to be weak while being strong. She had over-thought things…
“Senior Sister…” Lin Yuan stuttered as she saw Yun Ge’s gaze, feeling nervous. Senior Sister is so elegant!! Like a goddess!!!
“…” Yun Ge felt like the silly girl was acting up again…
“Senior Sister… Do you… want to see the Ice Spirit Beast?” Lin Yuan asked.
“Ice Spirit Beast??” Yun Ge was puzzled. Were there Ice Spirit Beasts here?
“Yeah yeah yeah, behind the Yunfu Sect, the one that came out with us.”
Yun Ge had isolated herself from the outside world these past few months, staying inside the ice cave and not going anywhere.
Every day, Huan Mo would come to see Yun Ge, and Yun Ge never asked Huan Mo, nor did she ever ask what Huan Mo was doing every day.
