Turning My Junior Sister into a Mary Sue In Xianxia Yuri World

The Next Day at Chen Hour (7-9 a.m.)

Dong—dong dong—

Before dawn, the morning bell of Profound Star Sect rang, signaling to the disciples that it was time to get up and attend their morning lessons.

Xiao Yunluo, still in bed, stretched lazily. She opened her eyes and quickly hid the porn book she had been reading last night under her pillow. She then jumped out of bed, washed her face, got dressed, and prepared for her favorite part of the day—greeting Ye Anping with a good morning.

Creek—

“Ye Anping, good morni—”

However, when she opened the door, Ye Anping was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard. His door was still tightly shut.

Xiao Yunluo was puzzled. From what she remembered, Ye Anping was very punctual. After the first chime of the morning bell, he would have already groomed and dressed, ready to leave his room.

But today…

“Hmm? Could he have overslept too?”

Muttering to herself, Xiao Yunluo walked over to Ye Anping’s bedroom door and knocked. After a moment without any response, she turned and ran to the kitchen.

She put on an apron, climbed onto a stool, and started a fire with a flintstone. She boiled water for noodles and fried two chicken eggs into heart shapes, placing them on top of the noodles with a sprinkle of green onions…

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Yunluo was back with two bowls of noodles, knocking on Ye Anping’s door again.

Knock knock—

“Ye Anping, still not up? I made some noodles, come and eat before the lesson starts.”

“… …”

“Are you not feeling well? I’m coming in.”

“… …”

Hesitating for a moment, she gently pushed the door open and peeked inside.

The room was so tidy it didn’t look like a male disciple’s room at all. Books and course materials were neatly stacked on the desk, and there were no clothes carelessly thrown about. It seemed like Ye Anping cleaned every day.

Xiao Yunluo rarely came in here. After looking around for a bit, she tiptoed to the bed.

On the bed, the blanket covered the pillow underneath, hiding Ye Anping. All she could see was a human-shaped bulge under the blanket.

It looked like Ye Anping was lying on his side, facing her.

“Ye Anping, wake up… Are you really unwell? Do you need me to ask for leave for you?”

“… …”

Seeing no response, Xiao Yunluo became worried. She quickly put the noodles on the table and went back to the bed, tugging at the corner of the blanket, revealing a little.

“Ye Anping, you—”

But the person under the blanket wasn’t Ye Anping.

It was a young woman.

She was a head shorter than Xiao Yunluo, with black and white hair and a pair of heterochromatic eyes that seemed ethereal.

In an instant, Xiao Yunluo felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, her heart stopping along with her speech.

For a moment, she wanted to cover the person back up, but her hand didn’t obey her anymore.

She was too shocked to control herself.

She hadn’t seen her mother in years, but now, unexpectedly, she found her on the bed of the person she liked.

“… …”

Sima Xuanji blinked and sat up:

“Yunluo.”

Hearing her name, Xiao Yunluo came back to her senses. She struggled to articulate, like a child learning to speak, finally uttering a word:

“Mo-mother…”

“What’s the matter? Do I look like a ghost to you? Am I that scary in your eyes?”

“N-no…” Xiao Yunluo stammered for a long time before asking, “Mother, why are you here…”

“Came to see your study companion.”

“Oh…”

At this moment, Xiao Yunluo remembered the two bowls of noodles on the table and quickly moved to block her mother’s view.

But this act of covering up only drew Sima Xuanji’s attention, her eyes narrowing as she asked in an emotionless tone:

“You cooked noodles for him?”

Although her tone was flat, Xiao Yunluo immediately understood her mother’s dissatisfaction.

According to etiquette, as the Young Mistress of Profound Star Sect, Xiao Yunluo shouldn’t be cooking for Ye Anping, who wasn’t even an outer disciple.

“Mother, I thought he was sick, so…”

Sima Xuanji shook her head, got out of bed, and walked up to her daughter. She lifted Xiao Yunluo’s chin, looking into her eyes:

“You’ve made no progress in your cultivation this year. Elder Qin says your sword skills and mental techniques have stagnated. Ye Anping was chosen to be your study companion on Mr. Qi’s suggestion, but it seems Mr. Qi misjudged.”

“Huh…”

Did this mean Ye Anping wasn’t in his room because…

Sima Xuanji pretended to think for a moment, then asked:

“How about I replace your study companion with Chen Chen, the chief disciple of Sky Cloud Peak?”

Xiao Yunluo bit her lip, stammering. She had never dared to oppose her mother before, but if she didn’t say something now, Ye Anping might be sent back to Hundred Lotus Sect, and she wouldn’t see him for a long time.

Most likely, her mother had already sent him away today.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yunluo gathered her courage:

“Mother, can we not change study companions? I get along well with Ye Anping, and although Senior Brother Chen is great…”

“… …”

Sima Xuanji remained silent.

The room fell quiet, making Xiao Yunluo more anxious. It was the first time she had ever asked her mother for something.

“Mother, please…”

“Six months.”

“Hmm?”

“Six months to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment and to master your sword and mental techniques up to the seventh level. Otherwise, I will replace him,” Sima Xuanji said, glancing at the two bowls of noodles on the table, noticing the heart-shaped eggs, and pausing before adding, “And I will also…”

She didn’t finish her sentence.

Sima Xuanji didn’t express any emotions in her tone, but her intent was clear.

Six months to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment? Although Xiao Yunluo had a heavenly spiritual root, she had only been cultivating for a year and was just about to reach the middle stage. Achieving the late stage in six months seemed daunting.

Biting her lip, Xiao Yunluo hesitated for a moment before pleading:

“Mother, can Ye Anping come back first?”

Sima Xuanji shook her head.

Xiao Yunluo, feeling more desperate, quickly added:

“Mother, I promise, but can Ye Anping come back? Pei Lengxue grew up with him, and Elder Qin likes them both. If he leaves, Pei Lengxue might…”

“I didn’t send him away. A few days ago, he requested a long leave from Elder Qin and went to the Southern Region.”

“…Huh?”

Sima Xuanji smiled, walking to the door:

“I never said I sent him away. It’s all in your head.”

“…”

“But you promised. Six months to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment, or I will replace him. Also…” Sima Xuanji flicked her sleeve, and a letter flew out, landing on the table. “A letter Ye Anping left for you.”

Xiao Yunluo walked up, picked up the letter, and read:

“Senior Sister Xiao, please forgive my sudden departure. I took Junior Sister and Senior Sister Feng to the Shadowmoon Sword Sect to handle some matters. I will return after the new year. Please continue your cultivation. Enclosed are some rare pills and their corresponding training methods. You can have them made at the sect’s pill room.”

While she read the letter, a loud parrot’s voice came from outside:

“Your father left! Your father left!”

Xiao Yunluo didn’t understand what it meant, her mind is left wondering why her mother’s golden-crowned parrot would say such a thing. She remembered the parrot was a rare breed with high intelligence, even capable of defeating Elder Wang in Go.

“Mother, why did Ah Ying say that?”

Sima Xuanji paused, glanced at the parrot on the roof, then answered:

“Nothing.”

She then made a gesture with her right hand.

The parrot on the roof dodged the golden light shooting from Sima Xuanji’s sleeve, taunting:

“Old and blind! Old and blind!”

But the golden light made a U-turn and struck the parrot on the back of its head.

“Squawk…”

The parrot rolled twice on the roof before Sima Xuanji grabbed its crest and hung it on her belt. She turned to Xiao Yunluo with a smile:

“Yunluo, six months. Mother won’t go back on her word. I hope you won’t either.”

She walked away barefoot, her ankle bells jingling until the sound faded.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Xiao Yunluo nodded to herself, then stored the letter in her bag.

She grabbed her spirit sword and flew towards the central peak, ready to start training according to Ye Anping’s instructions.

She was not a mere pretty face!

She would become a phoenix too!

=========

Tn: Don’t worry Yunluo, your mother won’t kick Ye Anping out of the Sect, she’s just like you after all.

I wonder how Yunluo face would looks like when she realized her mother is gunning for the same man as her.
