The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
The two balls of unique fire, one large and one small, landed on Tan Qingxuan’s hand, and seemed to undergo a sudden change. The fiercely burning flames instantly leaped higher, flickering continuously. Even Cang Ran, the owner of the unique fire, could feel this excitement.
The firelight reflected in Tan Qingxuan’s eyes, shimmering brilliantly. The light spots danced on her gorgeous, thin lips, as if offering her a layer of mysterious luster.
At this moment, Cang Ran did not know that this was the innate admiration and favor of all living things in the world for the supreme being.
Cang Ran was startled and quickly tried to control the unique fire, afraid that it would scorch Tan Qingxuan.
A thought flashed through Tan Qingxuan’s mind. She merely looked at it before returning the unique fire to Cang Ran.
In this world, the Dao follows nature. Only when a person comprehends their own Dao can they break free from the constraints of heaven and earth.
As for the knowledge gained on the path to enlightenment, who can definitively say that their Dao will be stronger than another’s?
She should not interfere too much. After providing a little guidance to Cang Ran, future matters would depend entirely on the little fox’s own comprehension.
Cang Ran was unaware of Tan Qingxuan’s thoughts, only feeling that this unique fire was much trickier to handle than she had imagined. She would need to allocate some time to slowly experiment with it later.
Now that she had this unique fire, she could even save money on candles. It was quite a good deal, anyway.
A gust of night wind struck, and Tan Qingxuan, disturbed by the cold, couldn’t help but cough softly. A moment of paleness appeared on her cool, jade-like face.
Hearing Tan Qingxuan’s weak cough, Cang Ran quickly pulled Tan Qingxuan into her embrace. The temperature of the unique fire on her fingertip also increased slightly to warm Tan Qingxuan.
“Qingqing, are you alright? Never mind the unique fire for now. Let’s eat first, or the fish will get cold again.”
The warm fox fur was the best insulating clothing for the night. Being embraced by Cang Ran like this instantly dispelled the chill.
Tan Qingxuan lightly covered her lips and pushed Cang Ran away with restraint. “I’m fine.”
Cang Ran knew Tan Qingxuan was always like this, preferring not to be too intimate with others.
She placed the two balls of unique fire beside Tan Qingxuan, then went to block all the drafty areas in the cave dwelling. Only after confirming there were no leaks did she sway her large tails and walk back.
“Now it won’t be cold.” Cang Ran blinked at Tan Qingxuan, picked up the chopsticks, and removed all the bones from the fish meat before putting a piece in Tan Qingxuan’s bowl. “Even though you’re not a three-year-old child, I will still take care of you.”
Tan Qingxuan looked at the deboned fish meat in the bowl, picked it up, and ate it very elegantly. “Not angry anymore?”
Cang Ran’s eyes glistened, and she smiled. “I am the Great Fox King. How could I be angry with a small mortal like you? Besides, I wasn’t the one who was angry in the first place.”
Tan Qingxuan’s gaze was clear and moist, and she said casually, “But I saw a certain fox’s fur bristling.”
Cang Ran propped her cheek on her palm and huffed. “You haven’t touched me, so how do you know my fox fur was bristling? Or are you saying you really want to touch it?”
Tan Qingxuan lowered her gaze and continued to eat the fish meat in her bowl. “No, I don’t.”
Cang Ran immediately burst into laughter. But what should she do when Tan Qingxuan is so serious? It just makes her want to tease her even more.
She really wanted to crush Tan Qingxuan’s innate coolness, swallow it between her lips and tongue, and make her melt for her.
Cang Ran propped her chin with both hands. The light of the unique fire reflected in her amber eyes, melting into a layer of warmth.
“Then I’ll continue to debone the fish for you. Eat more. Fish meat can supplement nutrition.”
She clipped a few more pieces of deboned fish meat for Tan Qingxuan, while her large tail, separated by the cloth, wrapped around Tan Qingxuan’s slender and fragile ankle, moving more and more audaciously up her long, straight calf.
Seeing Tan Qingxuan stop eating, Cang Ran intentionally feigned ignorance and asked, “Qingqing, don’t you like this? Should I make you something else?”
A hint of helplessness flashed in Tan Qingxuan’s peach blossom eyes. She pinched Cang Ran’s fox tail and dropped it. “Stop acting up.”
The gentle fingers pinching her tail felt so good. Cang Ran couldn’t help but groan softly, her body feeling a little weak.
Aha! She thought. I’ll make Tan Qingxuan repay the favor later by giving my tail a good rub.
Cang Ran pulled her large tail back. Several mischievous thoughts flashed through her mind, but she said sweetly, “Sister Qingqing~”
Cang Ran’s affection was always so unconcealed. When she looked at someone, her eyes were always sparkling, almost overflowing with tender affection, burning with an astonishing intensity.
Silly little fox, only concerned with sweet-talking. Isn’t she afraid I’ll truly execute her as a demon?
Tan Qingxuan lowered her gaze and did not respond to Cang Ran’s intentional use of “Sister.”
Cang Ran thought “Sister Qingqing” sounded nice. She continued to peel the fish meat and remove the bones, calling Tan Qingxuan sweetly several more times. She didn’t care whether Tan Qingxuan answered her or not; she was happy herself.
When Tan Qingxuan had eaten enough and indicated she couldn’t eat anymore, Cang Ran stopped peeling. She gathered the remaining fish meat and took it outside the cave dwelling, where the un-transformed wild beasts in the mountains would naturally clean it up.
When she returned, Tan Qingxuan had sat back on the bed. Cang Ran retrieved the other unique fire and combined it into one lamp for illumination.
Tan Qingxuan glanced at it and reminded her, “Maintaining this unique fire consumes spiritual energy. Since we’re going to sleep now, you should put it away.”
Cang Ran didn’t immediately put it away, but instead asked, “Qingqing, are you afraid of the dark?”
Tan Qingxuan looked into Cang Ran’s eyes and shook her head slightly. “I am not afraid of the dark.”
Cang Ran blinked. “Then I’m afraid of the dark. Can I sleep next to Qingqing tonight?”
The little fox used a pure and innocent expression again, but her three large tails were swaying back and forth, not at all like an honest fox.
Tan Qingxuan rarely felt at a loss for how to handle this little demon. Even in her sect, her fellow female disciples all had their own separate quarters, and sleeping side-by-side was uncommon.
This was originally Cang Ran’s bed. She had occupied it for several days, and the bed was extremely spacious. This request was not excessive.
The little fox had slept quite peacefully last time. It should be fine this time too. She had already rested for a while tonight, so she could choose not to sleep now.
Considering this, Tan Qingxuan prepared herself for a night of quiet cultivation and moved over a spot for Cang Ran.
Cang Ran was already smiling inwardly. Tan Qingxuan was genuinely quite nice and very reasonable.
She did not transform into a little fox like before. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed, untied her hair, and let her long hair drape behind her head.
Cang Ran undid her sash, took off her outer plain dress, and then took off the dress made of her fox fur, leaving only a thin, light red gauze undergarment. Her smooth, pale arms stretched upwards, like the softest willow branches in spring.
Her hair reached her waist, the gauze thinly covered her. Her slender waist swayed slightly, and a subtle fragrance wafted out. She was enchantingly stunning.
Cang Ran looked at Tan Qingxuan in the light and asked languidly, “Qingqing, do you usually sleep fully clothed?”
Tan Qingxuan looked at Cang Ran’s fox eyes. The shape of her eyes was full, with the corners slightly upturned, a naturally seductive gaze. Every blink seemed to be flirting.
Her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her gaze, only removing one outer robe. “Yes. I will rest now.”
Cang Ran, being the one most lightly dressed, was not self-conscious. She was not hesitant to show off her soft figure and actively took the outer robe Tan Qingxuan had removed. “I’ll go hang it up for you.”
She was so eager that before Tan Qingxuan could refuse, Cang Ran jumped off the bed with the clothes. Wearing her shoes, she pat-pat-patted to hang them up.
As Cang Ran hung the clothes, she hung her own next to Tan Qingxuan’s. She couldn’t help but inhale the scent on Tan Qingxuan’s clothes.
So lovely. She loved the scent on Tan Qingxuan’s body. If only she could hide Tan Qingxuan away.
Cang Ran performed a cleansing spell, cleaning both their garments before running back to the bed.
Tan Qingxuan lay on the inner side of the bed, her eyes closed, her breathing long and even. Her cool, picturesque profile was very peaceful.
She fell asleep quickly.
Cang Ran had planned to talk to her a little more and perhaps cash in on her favor, but that plan fell through.
She pouted. She remembered Tan Qingxuan had been exposed to the cold wind earlier. A mortal body was inherently weak. Forget it, let Tan Qingxuan have a good sleep.
Cang Ran settled down and closed her eyes. She slept vaguely for a little while. She thought she would fall asleep quickly tonight, but unexpectedly, her body grew hotter and hotter as she slept.
An insistent heat surged through her body in waves. Her pearly teeth bit her lips. Her breathing was rapid, and she still struggled to suppress her soft moans.
Her body quickly became damp, feeling like it was about to overflow. She wanted to twine around something, something icy cold, to alleviate the internal dryness.
So hot, so hot. She tore open her collar, exposing a large area of snow-white, soft skin, her allure recklessly flowing.
Sweat poured down her, rolling down her neck and settling on her collarbone. The peach-blossom seductive scent of her entire body also began to emanate.
Her three tails pressed against the icy jade bed, contracting and curling continuously, but the feeling of emptiness intensified.
Cang Ran exhaled a scorching breath. Her eyes were flushed at the corners, and the heat in her eyes surged out. Soon, her beautiful eyes were full of watery mist.
Pressing against the jade bed was not enough. She had to wrap around something.
Cang Ran’s tears kept falling, pat-pat-pat, threatening to turn into audible sobs. The pervasive heat in her body pressed down on her in intense waves, urging her to take action.
Her chest rose and fell several times. Letting the tears flow, she suppressed her hot, intense breathing. One large tail slowly yet urgently reached out toward Tan Qingxuan’s slender wrist.
The moment it touched the cool, smooth skin, the large tail immediately wrapped around it enthusiastically, tightly coiling several times, as if binding Tan Qingxuan.
Cang Ran’s fox eyes instantly filled with moisture. Her cheeks were flushed, and her chest uncontrollably shuddered and trembled. Even her toes curled up.
She let out a suppressed sigh of satisfaction. Her other two tails also climbed onto Tan Qingxuan’s beautiful, slender arm in a posture of absolute restraint.
The three fluffy large tails surged like cloud fans, softly pressing against Tan Qingxuan’s palm.
To stay longer in Tan Qingxuan’s hand, these tails even started vying for attention, fighting among themselves.
Cang Ran dared not use too much force. Biting her lip, her heart pounded like a drum, rapidly accelerating. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes grew hotter and wetter.
She desperately wanted to hug the soft Tan Qingxuan, burrow into her arms, and smell her scent like before.
Hurry and squeeze my tail, she prayed. Just one squeeze is enough, and I’ll be good.
Cang Ran continuously prayed in her heart. She suddenly felt Tan Qingxuan’s fingers move, and the large tail that was most aggressively seeking attention seemed to actually be pinched.
The feeling of her soft tail being grasped instantly sent waves of rapid electric current, spreading upwards from the tailbone, layer upon layer, the tingling sensation diffusing all the way to her brain.
Cang Ran’s heart gave a heavy leap. The entire fox stiffened her body.
