The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Perhaps it was because Cang Ran had never been so flustered in front of her. When she touched Cang Ran’s scorching hot ear, the image of Cang Ran’s usual little fox form surfaced in her mind.

A little fox curled up tightly, frightened, burying her fluffy head in her large tail, trembling.

Tan Qingxuan’s expression softened slightly, and she asked again, “Cang Ran, what’s wrong?”

Cang Ran’s ears continued to tremble, and even her large tail dared not wag as usual.

The moment the cool fingers touched her ear, her heart was pounding like a drum, making her chest feel numb.

It’s Tan Qingxuan touching my ear. Doesn’t Tan Qingxuan dislike fluffiness? Why is she touching my ear?

She knew her eyes were a bit scary at night, but she didn’t want Tan Qingxuan to be afraid of her or dislike her. She wanted Tan Qingxuan to stay.

When she heard Tan Qingxuan ask her, Cang Ran’s breathing quickened, and she didn’t even dare to look up. She was a little afraid that Tan Qingxuan would see her eyes again.

With her ear being touched, she couldn’t escape. Cang Ran was at a loss, and tears were about to fill her eyes.

Bad memories surfaced in her mind. She clenched her arms tightly, her body trembling slightly, suppressing her sadness. “Did you see it all?”

Tan Qingxuan didn’t immediately understand what Cang Ran was referring to, and patiently asked, “See what?”

Cang Ran bit her lips, almost turning them white, afraid that a choked voice would slip out.

Her throat was dry, and she felt a dull pain in her chest. She tried hard to swallow and took several deep breaths. “My eyes.”

In front of Tan Qingxuan, I must look like a clown, clumsy and stupid.

She remembered when she accidentally cut her leg and bled a lot as a child. Her mother said she was too naughty and not like a girl, which was why she kept getting hurt, and kept complaining that she had stained her new dress.

She was no longer afraid of not being like a girl, nor was she constrained by that statement, but for Qingqing, she was now an anomaly.

She didn’t want to be disliked by the person she liked, and even less did she want the other person to see her bad side.

But after all this time, she only now realized that her unsightly appearance had been fully exposed in the other person’s eyes.

She must dislike me, right? A scary demon who still wants to be in a relationship with a human.

Perhaps it was because she wasn’t worthy of being liked, which was why Tan Qingxuan had always been so indifferent to her.

The fox ear under her palm changed from hot to cold, drooping down, occasionally trembling slightly.

It was as if this little fox was sobbing silently, inexplicably making people feel sorry for her.

Even in silent stillness, Tan Qingxuan could feel the sorrow overflowing from the little fox.

Tan Qingxuan did not cultivate the Dao of Ruthlessness, nor was she a cold-hearted person. She could perceive Cang Ran’s sensitivity about her eyes.

Recalling, this little fox had been very afraid of her seeing her eyes since the first night they met, covering them tightly with her paws, and even deliberately moved the stove fire to illuminate the room for her.

In reality, they were not ugly at all; on the contrary, they were very beautiful, like flawless glass under the moonlight, shimmering with scattered starlight.

Through those eyes, one could see Cang Ran’s pure heart.

Tan Qingxuan was moved. She gently stroked Cang Ran’s head, her voice becoming even softer. “Yes, I saw them.”

The fox ear in her palm was trembling severely. The little fox was on the verge of crying her heart out.

She lowered her voice and said seriously, “Cang Ran’s eyes are very beautiful.”

The little fox’s ears stopped trembling, and she suddenly lifted her head.

Those beautiful amber eyes were tear-streaked, emitting a faint glow, revealing Cang Ran’s reddened nose tip.

Pitiful yet adorable.

Cang Ran thought she had misheard. She looked up at Tan Qingxuan blankly. Tan Qingxuan’s eyes were gentle, warming like a spring breeze, unlike the cool indifference of the daytime.

Why is Tan Qingxuan suddenly so gentle? Is she truly not afraid of me?

It seems she really isn’t afraid. Thinking about it carefully, she had even teased Tan Qingxuan a little, and Tan Qingxuan hadn’t trembled.

Cang Ran sniffled. The tears clinging to her thick eyelashes fell, the drops splashing onto her pale, charming cheeks, like a hibiscus flower drinking the morning dew.

As Cang Ran’s tears kept falling, she noticed Tan Qingxuan was still gazing at her gently, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, thump-thump-thump.

This atmosphere felt strange, inexplicably prompting one to want to do something.

She followed her heart’s desire. With tear-rimmed eyes, she pitifully lunged into Tan Qingxuan’s arms. “Really?”

Her hands wrapped around Tan Qingxuan’s slender waist, and her head buried itself in Tan Qingxuan’s neck and shoulder.

Why is Tan Qingxuan’s body so soft? It’s so soft that it feels like sinking into it. It’s so comfortable to hold.

She took the opportunity to inhale a few breaths. So fragrant, soft, and fragrant.

Cang Ran’s heart pounded even faster. She hadn’t felt this way when she carried Tan Qingxuan earlier. Now, the corners of her mouth were rising, and she couldn’t control them.

Cang Ran pursed her lips and bit them hard several times, trying desperately to think of sad things. Finally, she managed to hold back.

She imagined herself as pitiful, weak, and helpless, and her emotions instantly surged. She cautiously rubbed against Tan Qingxuan’s embrace again. “You truly won’t dislike me?”

Tan Qingxuan thought Cang Ran was still sad, and still comforted her gently. “No.”

Cang Ran hugged Tan Qingxuan a little tighter, sobbing a few times, her voice soft and sweet. “Qingqing, you are so good. You are the best person in the world to me. No one has ever been this good to me.”

Her three fox tails swayed continuously according to their owner’s mood. One large tail hooked onto Tan Qingxuan’s slender, beautiful back, flicking back and forth quite audaciously.

Tan Qingxuan suddenly pushed her soft body away.

Cang Ran didn’t realize that her tail had betrayed her. She tilted her head, her eyes showing a trace of confusion as she looked at Tan Qingxuan.

Tan Qingxuan had returned to her usual cool demeanor, scrutinizing Cang Ran before her.

This little demon is indeed not sad anymore.

Seeing Cang Ran’s confused and bewildered expression, as if she didn’t know what had happened, Tan Qingxuan felt annoyed but also a little amused.

Silly fox, why don’t you know how to hide your tail?

Tan Qingxuan asked Cang Ran about another matter. “I saw you use a ball of fire when you were grilling the fish just now.”

Cang Ran set aside her confusion, listened to Tan Qingxuan’s words, and immediately summoned the flame in her palm. “Is it this?”

Tan Qingxuan slightly nodded. “I’ve seen this fire in ancient texts. It is very similar to the Yao Yan unique fire, one of the Ten Great Unique Fires.”

Cang Ran’s eyes widened. It sounds so powerful! “Is my fire one of the Ten Great Unique Fires? What is its ranking?”

Tan Qingxuan’s tone was light. “Tenth place. Do you usually use it to refine your unique fire by grilling fish?”

Cang Ran sighed. Tenth is tenth. It’s still pretty good. Having it is better than not having it.

She happily explained, “Yes! Sometimes I use it to grill chicken and mushrooms, too. It’s very convenient.”

Cang Ran didn’t know she had this Yao Yan unique fire until she started grilling fish. Starting a fire by rubbing sticks was too much trouble. She remembered that she had a supreme fire spiritual root and accidentally extracted this flame from her demon core.

After all, as the important villainess and cannon fodder in this book, the one who acquired the male protagonist’s special resources, who was disliked by the female protagonist, and who was cursed by readers, she still had some impressive abilities.

Although she hadn’t read the whole book, in the chapters where she was active, confronting the protagonists was her norm. She attracted a lot of conflict and was a veritable unkillable cockroach. Generally, useless female supporting characters or cannon fodder died early.

But who wouldn’t love a fox demon? The more readers cursed her, the more they loved her. Due to her high popularity, the original author later added a little cheat to give her the sustained ability to cause trouble and compete for the male protagonist’s affection to showcase his superiority.

Cang Ran could only express her thoughts: Thank you very much! If she could ever see the original author, she would tear them to shreds.

However, she remembered that the fox demon in the book didn’t have this Yao Yan unique fire. The original male protagonist, on the other hand, casually stumbled upon the top-ranked Chi Xia (Red Cloud) unique fire and continuously evolved it by devouring others’ unique fires. It was quite strong, in any case.

Although other unique fires couldn’t devour others, they could be imbued into weapons to achieve a high-level damage bonus, and the critical hit rate was also greatly improved.

Now she also had this advantage, which was a good thing for her, adding a crucial tool for survival.

Thinking of this, she wanted to curse the original author again. You are amazing! Why don’t you just ascend to heaven? Your male protagonist casually stumbled upon the second-ranked unique fire and can even devour others’ unique fires. How can he be so lucky? Why not just distribute resources according to need?

Others get angry, but I won’t. If I die of anger, who would be happy? Cang Ran took several deep breaths, calming her long-suppressed anger.

Tan Qingxuan looked at the complex little expressions on Cang Ran’s face and thought that this little demon was quite discontented.

It should be known that with Cang Ran’s seventh-stage Transformation period cultivation, she was like a child carrying gold through the marketplace—it was inevitable that she would be coveted and envied.

The cultivation world was not necessarily a clean place. If a rare treasure appeared, everyone would fight for it, and even cultivators at the Great Ascension period would emerge from seclusion for it.

Thinking of this, Tan Qingxuan’s expression became more solemn.

This little demon was naturally pure and not adept at scheming. She only knew joy but not worry.

Tan Qingxuan slightly parted her red lips. “How did you grill the fish just now? Do it again.”

Cang Ran thought Tan Qingxuan was hungry and immediately demonstrated for Tan Qingxuan using the unique fire.

This ball of unique fire was palm-sized and very convenient for grilling fish meat. It could also regulate the temperature, becoming large or small. In a short while, one side of the fish meat was heated.

When Cang Ran was flipping the fish to the second side, Tan Qingxuan suddenly spoke, “Can you split this unique fire into two balls?”

Cang Ran had never tried this before. Such a clever idea! It seemed that heating the fish meat with two balls of fire would indeed be faster.

She tried it, using her divine consciousness on the unique fire, forcing it with will and spiritual energy. After much effort, she finally split the unique fire into two.

One large and one small. The large cluster of fire was just slightly smaller than her previous one. The small cluster was like the tiny flame of a lighter.

Cang Ran let out a long breath, quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled. “It’s split.”

Tan Qingxuan pursed her lips. Well, individual talent varies. For a first attempt, this is already very good.

She pondered for a moment and held out her hand to Cang Ran. “Give it to me.”

Cang Ran let out an “Oh,” thinking Tan Qingxuan was curious. She controlled the fire temperature to a level suitable for the human body and placed both the large and small balls of unique fire simultaneously into Tan Qingxuan’s hand.
