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

A few days later, at Sky Cloud Peak of the Profound Star Sect.

As early autumn arrived, the Profound Star Sect entered its annual season for harvesting Spirit Fruits and herbs. The mountains were rich with spiritual energy, and the air was filled with the fragrant scent of herbs and fruits.

However, not all disciples could enjoy the fruits of the harvest season.

Although the sect took care to support the cultivation progress of its inner disciples by distributing essential items like pills and spirit stones for free, it wasn’t a charity. The distributed resources were just enough to cover the bare minimum.

In other words, it was merely enough to prevent starvation. For those who wanted to advance their cultivation, relying solely on the sect’s periodic resources was impractical. Unless one had extraordinary luck, progress would be excruciatingly slow.

This issue didn’t affect disciples from noble families, as they received financial support from their families. However, these disciples were in the minority. Most inner disciples’ parents were cultivators at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages, some even less talented or accomplished than their children, offering limited support.

For disciples like Bai Yuelin, who came from ordinary families, managing expenses meticulously was a necessity.

During the harvest season, she would often go to the spiritual fields to find acquaintances who could offer her work, such as picking Spirit Fruits or harvesting herbs, to earn extra spirit stones.

Occasionally, if she was lucky, the disciples in charge would give her a few Spirit Fruits as well.

“Hu—Junior Sister Bai, let’s call it a day. We’ve harvested most of this acre.”

“Alright!”

Bai Yuelin plucked the last fruit from the red fruit tree in front of her, threw it into the basket, and landed back on the ground. She loosened the ties on her cloud sleeves and looked at Senior Sister Feng, who was walking over.

“Senior Sister Feng, will there be more work tomorrow? After the harvest, shouldn’t we start planting again? I would like to…”

Senior Sister Feng smiled wryly and shook her head while crossing her arms:

“You are a disciple of the Sky Cloud Peak and haven’t learned how to sow seeds. Harvesting is easy, but planting is hard. Each spiritual plant has different planting methods, and you can’t handle it.”

“Oh… But I can help fetch water, right? You still need to go to the spiritual spring to get water, don’t you?”

“Last year, an elder created a puppet specifically for transporting spiritual spring water. One puppet can do the work of five or six disciples and operates around the clock, consuming only five or six spirit stones a day. So this year, all the water-fetching work has been given to the puppet.”

“Ah…”

Hearing this, Bai Yuelin frowned slightly, showing a hint of helplessness. She remembered that last autumn, she could earn five or six spirit stones per bucket of water she fetched for the spiritual garden disciples. Last year, she had made nearly ten thousand spirit stones just by fetching water for over three months. But this year, the job was gone, drastically reducing her annual income.

“Alright, I understand.”

Bai Yuelin, dejected, untied the strap from her shoulder, set down the basket full of Vermillion Fruits, and bowed to Senior Sister Feng:

“Then, Senior Sister Feng, I’ll head back first. If there’s any work I can do, please let me know. I’m available anytime.”

After speaking, she summoned her flying sword and prepared to leave, but Senior Sister Feng called her back.

“Wait.”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

Bai Yuelin turned her head and saw Senior Sister Feng reaching into the bamboo basket at her feet, grabbing five ordinary-looking Vermillion Fruits and walking over to her.

“I can’t give you the best ones, but take these for your own cultivation or sell them in the market. They should fetch around ten thousand spirit stones.”

“Ah…”

“Take them—don’t worry, the elder won’t notice.”

Hesitating for a moment, Bai Yuelin accepted the fruits with a grateful smile.

Bai Yuelin hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse and accepted it, placing it into her storage bag.

“Then… thank you, Sister Feng.”

“You’re welcome~”

After that, she bowed again and then rode her flying sword back towards Sky Cloud Peak.

Gliding through the clouds, Bai Yuelin felt joyful for having received a few Spirit Fruits today. She performed a few loops in the sky and arrived at the mountainside of Sky Cloud Peak. By chance, she saw the gate of the courtyard below was still closed, hesitated for a moment, and then flew down.

Taking out a token from her storage bag, she unlocked the courtyard’s barrier and pushed open the door.

Creak—

She walked to the stone table in the courtyard, brushed her slender fingers across the surface, and pinched them to see a smudge of black dirt, causing her to sigh. She quickly went to the backyard to fetch a broom and cloth, starting to clean up.

Every four days, Bai Yuelin would come to check on the place.

Before Xiao Yunluo and Feng Yudie left the sect, Bai Yuelin had voluntarily said she could help manage the weeds and dust in their courtyard until they returned. Xiao Yunluo and Feng Yudie happily agreed, giving her some Spirit Stones and handing her the “key” to their place.

For Bai Yuelin, however, it wasn’t just about earning some Spirit Stones; it was also a way to keep her thoughts occupied.

How wonderful would it be when Ye Anping returned to see his house clean and tidy?

When he returns and calls her “sister.”

Oh right, and Junior Sister Pei too.

Two sweet “Sister Bai” calls, how lovely.

Today, she also obtained five Vermillion Fruits. She wondered if Ye Anping and Junior Sister Pei needed them. She could give each of them one.

The therapy center was also waiting for him to reopen. Should it be redecorated?

Speaking of which, the lease should be up soon, right? She could talk to the shop’s landlord later and see if they could give Ye Anping a discount.

“Hmph hmph~~”

After cleaning the courtyard, Bai Yuelin wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the sky, and saw the sun was about to set. She felt a flash of sadness in her eyes, her heart heavy with worry, and she muttered to herself:

“It’s been more than half a year. Didn’t they say they would be back in five or six months? It’s almost been a whole year.”

Whoosh—

The autumn wind rustled, lifting her long, dark hair. Bai Yuelin brushed the hair behind her left ear and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, two spiritual lights from flying swords rose from behind Baixiang Peak.

Bai Yuelin widened her eyes, stared for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and looked again.

Rubbed and looked again.

Rubbed and looked again.

Until her eyes turned red from rubbing.

A young man carrying a girl descended with a swirl of leaves at his feet.

The young man, seeing Bai Yuelin at the gate of the courtyard, had eyes that curved into crescents filled with warmth. But the girl beside him waved and called out with a smile:

“Sister Bai, we’re back.”

Bai Yuelin, as if relieved of a burden, dropped her shoulders, walked up to the two of them, nodded to Pei Lengxue, then looked at Ye Anping, frowning as if waiting for him to speak first.

Ye Anping was silent for a moment before taking out a small storage bag from his own.

“Sister Bai, here are some pills and materials as a token of gratitude. Thank you for helping us take leave from Elder Zhang.”

Bai Yuelin immediately looked unhappy, crossed her arms, and turned her head away with a pout:

“Hmph, you said you’d be back in five or six months. How long has it been now? If it weren’t for me covering for you, Elder Qin would have marked you both as missing. Do you think you can appease me with just these things? Do you take me for a beggar?”

“… …” Ye Anping was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react. He asked, “Then… what does Sister Bai want?”

“Hmph.” Bai Yuelin huffed again, rubbed Pei Lengxue’s head, then moved her hand to her own neck, smiling as she asked, “Junior Sister Pei, you’ve grown taller in the past year, haven’t you?”

“Yes…”

Seeing her be so kind to his junior sister but so harsh to him, Ye Anping immediately realized what was going on. Reluctantly, he called out softly, “Sister…”

“Hm?” Bai Yuelin pretended not to hear, but her expression softened, tilting her ear towards him, “What did you say? The wind is too loud.”

“Sister.”

“You taught Junior Sister Pei to speak so loudly, but you speak so softly… tsk tsk tsk.”

“Hu—Sister!!”

“Ah!!”

Responding, Bai Yuelin reached out and pulled the two into her embrace, holding them tight with her face buried between their heads, pressing their backs firmly.

“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back! I’ve seen many disciples go on journeys, promising to return in six months, only to never come back. You two made me worry for months without a word.”

Ye Anping and Pei Lengxue turned their heads, seeing the glistening tears squeezing out of the corners of her eyes. They remained silent, letting her hold them.

“Mm…””Mm.”

After who knows how long, Bai Yuelin finally let go of them, turned around to wipe her eyes, and then turned back to say:

“I’ve kept the house tidy for you. You just need to make the bed to sleep.”

Ye Anping looked around the courtyard, pretending not to know anything, and asked to gather some information:

“Um… where are Yunluo  and Yudie? Have they gone out?”

“Yes, they’ve gone to Chi Dragon Mansion. I heard there was some trouble there, but I don’t know the details. It seems to involve demonic cultivators. Because of this, Elder Lei was sent to the western frontier by the sect master.”

Frontier… Ye Anping caught the keyword, raised an eyebrow, and asked:

“Why? What does it have to do with him?”

“The frontier in the west is Elder Lei’s responsibility. I heard that some demonic cultivators crossed the boundary, causing trouble at Chi Dragon Mansion. Naturally, the sect master pinned the blame on him.”

“… …”

“You should have seen it. The sect master was furious about it. We thought the sky was falling. Cultivators at the Void Return stage are terrifying.”

“How long ago was this?”

“About half a month ago. Elder Lei is probably fighting beasts in the frontier now.”

“Which frontier? East, south, west, north?”

“The southeastern frontier of the western region.”

The southeastern frontier of the western region, and the Shadowmoon Sword Sect Ye Anping had been considering these past few days was in the northwestern frontier of the southern region, it’s not far away.

This was quite a coincidence.

And Ye Anping remembered that after the Chi Dragon Mansion incident, Sima Xuanji had sent Lei Wanjun to the western desert. If players went there after the Chi Dragon Mansion storyline, they would find Lei Wanjun hiding in a cave, avoiding a beast tide.

But now, he has been sent to the southeast.

Although it didn’t change much, it undoubtedly proved that the storyline had deviated significantly.

If Ye Anping was right, Sima Xuanji must have heard that the Shadowmoon Sword Sect’s master, Yun Tianchong, was about to come out of seclusion, so she sent Lei Wanjun there on purpose.

However, the goal shouldn’t be to help.

The Shadowmoon Sword Sect’s affairs were internal matters, and the Profound Star Sect couldn’t send a mid-stage Nascent Soul elder to intervene.

Intervening in another sect’s internal affairs would tarnish the Profound Star Sect’s reputation.

So, if it wasn’t to help, it was likely to monitor or take advantage.

The little old lady was playing her cards well…

Ye Anping shrugged and asked, “Should we report to Elder Qin now?”

“I’ll go with you later. If you go alone, you’ll get a lecture for at least an hour or two.” Bai Yuelin smiled, taking out two Vermillion Fruits from her storage bag. “By the way, here, take these…”

“Vermillion Fruits? We don’t need them. We have enough Spirit Stones. You keep them, Sister.”

“Haa~? Since you are rich now, you began to think that I’m poor? Doesn’t want any of my gifts?”

“We appreciate the gesture, but aren’t you poor, Sister?”

“I–! Ugh—You brat! Fine, if you don’t want them, forget it! Let’s go find Elder Qin. You only dare to talk back to me, but would you talk back to Elder Qin?”
