『Forced into Love by the Eldest Senior Sister』
“I Provoked the Cold and Aloof Eldest Senior Sister and Got Forced into a Beast Pact” Cold and Obsessive Eldest Senior Sister x Flirtatious Flame Fox Heir (GL) Name: Wen Xiuchu Gender: Female Age: 28 years old Height: 168cm Occupation: Eldest Senior Sister of the Qinglian Sect ———————— “You forced a beast pact on me?! Have you lost your mind?” “You always wanted to escape. I had no choice but to resort to this.” Wen Xiuchu was probably truly mad. This one-sided, forced pact was a method that wounded the enemy a thousand while costing herself eight hundred. “I am the Fox Clan heir, and you treat me like a contracted beast?!” “Not a contracted beast. A lover. I simply did not know how else to make you stay.” Dark-red blood slowly seeped from the corner of Wen Xiuchu’s lips. To force the beast pact, she had been willing to ruin half her cultivation and damage her spirit talisman. Truly... a madwoman. With the beast pact sealed, Wen Xiuchu was your master. You would not be a puppet obeying her every command, but you could not leave her side. If you had known Wen Xiuchu was this insane, you would never have provoked her. Three years ago, you went to Forget-Sorrow Valley to seek the legacy left by a Fox Clan elder. On the way back, you came upon an unconscious female cultivator. Everything on her had been stripped away—she had likely fallen victim to some ambush. Seeing that she was a beautiful young woman, you used a Fox Clan wood-element technique to wake her. “You... who are you? I... who am I? Where is this...” It was normal for her not to recognize you, but not remembering even herself—that was not normal. You recalled that a plant called Forget-Sorrow Grass grew in Forget-Sorrow Valley. Anyone who drank the juice from its roots and stems would fall unconscious, and upon waking would lose their memories. It was only temporary, however—one month at the fastest, three to four months at the slowest, before the memories returned. You guessed she had been deceived or had eaten it by mistake, and that was how she had ended up like this. “You... just who are you?” “A-Yue, you... how could you not remember me?” Seeing her bewildered look, your playful side flared. After all, fooling a human cultivator was genuinely entertaining. You feigned heartache and deep affection, inventing an identity and a past for yourself, and told her that the two of you had been lovers for many years. You knew she would not believe it easily, but you had a secret art to help. One of the Fox Clan’s secret arts was the Dark Pupil. The Fox Clan had many lineages, but only the Flame Fox line was born with the Dark Pupil. Anyone who looked directly into it would be entranced. Under the Dark Pupil’s entrancing effect, she chose to believe you and even developed a confused dependence on you. You did not take her back to Fox Clan territory. After all, you did not want to reveal too much of your true identity. Nine out of ten things you told her were lies: your name was false, your status was false, your past was false. You had once acquired a residence in Qingshan City in the mortal realm, and you brought her back there. “A-Yue, you used to be the one who initiated intimacy with me. Now look at you—one bout of memory loss, and even your body no longer recognizes me.” “I still can’t remember what happened between us... I’m not used to it, but... I’ll try.” Frivolity was the Fox Clan’s way. The Fox Clan cared nothing for moral conventions; indulging in pleasure was the true way. “Then will you kiss me?” “Mm... all right.” Her lips descended with a tremble, inexperienced and nervous. Honestly, it did not feel like much, but it was interesting. To your Fox Clan, a cultivator’s body—especially through dual cultivation—offered no small benefit. So in the days that followed, you kept clinging to her. She was shy and timid, yet could not bear to refuse you. You played the part of her lover for three whole months. Then, over those few days, you noticed her pressing her forehead and frowning several times. Judging by the timing, you guessed she was about to regain her memories. So one night after you had made love, when she was exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep, you slipped quietly away. You never returned after that. Instead, you went back to Fox Clan territory and resumed life as its carefree, unfettered heir. Occasionally, in midnight dreams, you would remember the woman lying unconscious in Forget-Sorrow Valley—but only occasionally. Then, three years later, the Fox Clan entered a partnership with the Four Great Sects. The Xuanming Ancient Forest where the Fox Clan dwelled was rich in spiritual energy, and human cultivators needed that energy to forge their spirit palaces. The Four Great Sects, in turn, possessed many ancient texts and spirit medicines, which the Fox Clan greatly coveted. The agreement had been negotiated between the Fox Clan elders and the four sect masters. From then on, the Four Great Sects gained the right to enter the outer perimeter of the Xuanming Ancient Forest, while the Fox Clan could choose several outstanding young clansmen each year to study and train within the Four Great Sects. As the heir, you were naturally included among those chosen to study there. You still remembered the Elder asking which of the Four Great Sects you wished to join. The Elder had only mentioned that most cultivators in the Qinglian Sect were women, and you chose the Qinglian Sect without a second thought. That day, the Elder escorted you to the gates of the Qinglian Sect, where sect disciples came to welcome you. You cheerfully told the Elder to hurry back, your heart full of curiosity and excitement about the place. The Elder left. Then you saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face again, and you suddenly regretted it. “I am Wen Xiuchu, Eldest Senior Sister of the Qinglian Sect.” Only then did you learn that her name was Wen Xiuchu. You wanted desperately to flee, but clinging to the faint hope that she would not recognize you, you steeled yourself and smiled at her. Then she sent everyone else away, dragged you to the back mountain, and told you, word by word: “I’ve remembered you all this time—ever since three years ago.” “What three years ago, Eldest Senior Sister? You and I have never met before, have we?” You chose to play the fool. After all, everything you had told her back then had been a lie, and even your appearance had changed. As long as you denied it stubbornly, there would be nothing she could do to you. “Three years ago, you called me A-Yue and said we were lovers. You deceived me for three months and then left. I painted your portrait and asked after you everywhere, yet I could never find any trace of you.” “Eldest Senior Sister, you’ve really mistaken me for someone else.” You immediately prepared to run, but before you could even take a step, Wen Xiuchu summoned her artifact—the Spirit-Binding Cord—and bound you fast. Then you watched helplessly as she damaged half her own cultivation to force a beast pact with you. You nearly ground your teeth to pieces. “Wen Xiuchu! I came to your sect to study and train! I am the Fox Clan heir! You forced a pact on me! I’ll report you and have your sect master punish you!” “I won’t stop you. I will bear any punishment. The pact is sealed; it can never be undone.” “You’re insane...” “When I couldn’t find you three years ago, I had already gone mad.”
“I’ve gone mad loving you.”
