The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 30

Chapter 30

When Cang Ran returned to the Fox Fox Mountain cave dwelling, the inside was pitch black. She took out her Ember (fire artifact), divided it into four clusters, and lit up the dwelling.

She searched everywhere but couldn’t find Tan Qingxuan. Her heart instantly panicked, and she immediately called for the little hedgehog demon to ask.

“Great King, she asked me to deliver the sword to you today. After delivering the sword, I haven’t seen her since.”

The little hedgehog demon saw Cang Ran looking lost and worriedly asked, “Great King, is she not in the cave dwelling now? Do you want me to help you look for her?”

Cang Ran felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head. She hugged her knees, squatting at the entrance of the cave dwelling, and slowly lowered her head.

Qingqing must be healed now. She doesn’t need me anymore, that’s why she took advantage of me being out at the banquet to escape.

She had always known Qingqing didn’t like furry things, but she didn’t know why she insisted on liking her and doing so many embarrassing things to her.

That must be why Qingqing was angry that day. I was so foolish. I even asked Qingqing why she was unhappy. Anyone would be unhappy if they were forced to rub a fox tail, right?

The little hedgehog frowned, seeing the Great King so sad. It knew the Great King liked that person, just like it liked berries. Every day it came home, it had to count how many berries it had left.

“Great King, how about I go catch a new human for you tomorrow? I’ll catch a prettier one. Don’t be unhappy.”

Cang Ran hid herself completely in her arms. But she only liked Qingqing. She had seen the best person already. No one else was Qingqing.

The little hedgehog saw that it couldn’t console the Great King, so it quietly stayed by her side, squatting down with the Great King and drawing circles on the ground.

Cang Ran could think of a reason for Tan Qingxuan’s departure: she didn’t like doing that with her and didn’t want to be kissed by her.

But she had already promised Qingqing. No kisses meant no kisses. She even made chicken soup for her. Why did she still leave without saying goodbye?

Am I that annoying? She just wanted to please her and keep her by her side. Why was it so difficult?

The more Cang Ran thought about it, the more bitterness she felt. Hot tears welled up in her eyes, uncontrollably rolling down her cheeks, pooling into a cold puddle on her arm.

Cang Ran cried for a while. Just as she was in distress, she suddenly heard footsteps in front of her.

“Great King, she’s back!” The little hedgehog’s surprised voice came from the side.

Cang Ran raised her head and looked over. Tan Qingxuan stood under the moonlight, her white robe as pure as snow, her ink-black hair gently swaying, with a cold, slender crescent moon behind her.

Just standing alone under the moonlight, she exuded an ineffable sense of detachment and indifference. The inherent noble and cool temperament on her was impossible to shake off.

Tan Qingxuan saw Cang Ran and the little hedgehog squatting at the entrance of the cave dwelling, looking like two pitiful creatures, with watery eyes, both looking up at her.

Cang Ran wiped away the tears from her eyes, stood up, and angrily said to Tan Qingxuan, “Didn’t you want to leave? You don’t want the fox anymore. Why did you come back? Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you returned halfway!”

A smile instantly flashed across Tan Qingxuan’s cool, clear eyes. She pursed her lips, looking gently at the little fox throwing a tantrum.

She had only gone out to deal with the demon cultivator. Now that her cultivation had largely recovered, she would eliminate the threat of the demon cultivator, lest Cang Ran encounter them again someday and suffer a disadvantage at their hands.

When the little hedgehog demon went to deliver the sword to Cang Ran for self-defense, she went to personally eliminate the demon cultivator.

Her powerful Void Refinement stage cultivation, coupled with her vast divine consciousness, quickly and easily located the demon cultivator’s hiding place.

The demon cultivator had been injured by the Thousand-Year Life-Stealing Vine recently and was recuperating. Because gathering vitality was easy in the demon world, many young, newly formed demons with low cultivation had fallen victim to her poisonous hand.

Many small demons reported the matter to their respective Demon Kings, but because the demon cultivator was at the Soul Condensation period and was extremely good at concealing her whereabouts, many Demon Kings were helpless.

Tan Qingxuan had dealt extensively with demon cultivators over the years, quickly found the demon cultivator’s trace, and forced her to a corner.

She had cultivated for many years and was no longer restricted by the form of a spiritual sword. She overwhelmingly killed the demon cultivator with her bare hands and, at the same time, took the transmission token the demon cultivator used to contact the Demon Sovereign.

She had thought Cang Ran wouldn’t return so quickly, but right after finishing off the demon cultivator, the artifact attached to the sword hilt reminded her that Cang Ran had returned to Fox Fox Mountain.

She immediately stepped into the void and teleported back, but she hadn’t expected the little fox to still be angry.

Cang Ran saw that she had thrown a tantrum, but Tan Qingxuan still didn’t try to placate her. She instantly felt even more upset.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She snorted, grabbed Tan Qingxuan’s wrist, and pulled her into the cave dwelling, dragging her all the way to the bed.

The little hedgehog demon saw the Great King suddenly become fierce and start a scene of forced passion. Its little black-bean eyes lit up, and it wanted to watch more.

It was suddenly kicked away by a spell from Cang Ran, who wouldn’t allow it to eavesdrop.

The little hedgehog demon could only brush the dust off its butt and leave disheartened, hoping the Great King would succeed this time!

Tan Qingxuan looked at Cang Ran’s wet eyes, knowing that Cang Ran was worried about her. Her heartstrings were slightly moved. She gently said, “I went out today to take care of something. I didn’t leave without saying goodbye. I just returned a little late.”

Cang Ran didn’t care for her lengthy explanation. She transformed into a large fox and pounced on Tan Qingxuan on the bed, still saying fiercely, “Hmph, then why didn’t you tell me where you were going? I am the Great King of Fox Fox Mountain!”

Tan Qingxuan was pinned down on the bed by Cang Ran. Her dark hair was scattered around her shoulders. Her clear, glass-like eyes were softer than usual, and she did not immediately push away the mischievous little fox.

Never before had any rebellious spirit beast dared to press down on the Venerable Immortal Qingxuan like this.

It wasn’t the first time, though. This little fox had always been reckless and arrogant, with quite a temper.

The warm, large, furry mass placed its soft little paws on her shoulders. The three large, fluffy tails slapped against her taut waist and abdomen, looking utterly ferocious and domineering.

She was angry, and deeply so. Tan Qingxuan had indeed promised Cang Ran. It was only a sudden impulse, and Cang Ran wasn’t by her side. She had thought she would return before Cang Ran.

Matters concerning the demon race involved a lot of complexity. If she were to explain everything, this little demon probably wouldn’t have the patience to listen.

Tan Qingxuan took out a Phantom Bell Orchid she picked on the way from her sleeve and presented it to Cang Ran: “This is for you.”

She hadn’t thought much of it when she picked it, only noticing that the Phantom Bell Orchid grew beautifully on the cliff and held some spiritual energy.

The flower had no practical value, but remembering that Cang Ran usually loved to pick flowers and plants, she thought she might like it, and subconsciously picked it.

The milky-white Phantom Bell Orchid was taken out of Tan Qingxuan’s sleeve, and Cang Ran was indeed momentarily stunned.

Every small flower bud on the flower held a cluster of spiritual energy, emitting a warm orange glow. When the wind blew, it produced a very soft rustling sound.

This sound made people feel good. Cang Ran snapped back to her senses, shaking her fox head fiercely. She was almost enchanted by the little flower.

The flower was indeed beautiful, but she was still angry. She swiped a paw and knocked the flower out of Tan Qingxuan’s hand.

The flower fell between them. Cang Ran then thought it was in the way, so she gently picked it up with her mouth and placed it aside.

It was, after all, the first flower Qingqing had given her. Cang Ran was gentle when holding it in her mouth. The flower carried Tan Qingxuan’s faint sandalwood scent, which was indeed pleasant.

She loved Tan Qingxuan the most. Even if it wasn’t the estrus period, she wanted to stick close to her every day.

Cang Ran rubbed her head against Tan Qingxuan’s shoulder, repeatedly nuzzling her exquisitely smooth collarbone. She was so fragrant and so likable. She couldn’t help but yield to her baser instincts.

Taking advantage of the situation, she mumbled, “Don’t think you can appease me with just anything. You’re healed and you don’t want the fox anymore. You were trying to run away by yourself, weren’t you?”

Tan Qingxuan felt very ticklish where the fox’s head was rubbing her. Her cold, jade-white skin quickly flushed a rosy color.

Her ears were slightly hot. She raised her hand to lift Cang Ran by the scruff of her neck, but then remembered Cang Ran hated being lifted. She bit her lip and endured it for the time being, figuring the little demon would quiet down once she finished her whimpering and nagging.

The more Cang Ran thought about it, the sadder she became. She kept muttering: “Heartless bad woman! I treat you so well. Can’t you look at me a little more? I’ll give you whatever you want. I’ll continue to be good to you.”

As she spoke, Cang Ran suddenly remembered a quote she had read before: Liking someone isn’t guaranteed just because you treat them well.

If Qingqing truly didn’t like her, she couldn’t force it. Doing that happy thing required mutual consent, otherwise it was very meaningless.

The more Cang Ran thought about it, the more sorrow welled up. She had been rambling for so long, yet Tan Qingxuan hadn’t reacted at all. Even a person with a heart of stone should have some emotional fluctuation.

But Tan Qingxuan could remain as calm as still water, truly like a person made of stone.

She really wanted to bite her and see if this woman’s heart was truly that cold and unyielding, impossible to warm.

“If you dare to leave without a word again, I’ll bite you to death!”

She eyed Tan Qingxuan’s neck. That snow-white neck was long and elegant, with beautiful lines. Unfortunately, she couldn’t bite hard. After thinking about it, she could only bite Tan Qingxuan somewhere else to vent her frustration.

Tan Qingxuan’s neck was extremely ticklish from the furry head rubbing against it. Sensing that the little demon was plotting mischief and wanted to kiss her, Tan Qingxuan originally intended to push her away immediately. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes, her slender fingers tightly clenching the bedsheets in restraint.

A cool, damp sensation came from her jaw. Sharp beast teeth gently bit her delicate skin, leaving two red marks. It was a slight sting, like a small, darting current, which quickly flowed through her limbs and bones, leaving her feeling numb and tingly.

Tan Qingxuan’s body trembled slightly. Cang Ran also noticed this, thinking she had bitten too hard.

She blushed and quickly extended her soft, moist tongue to lick Tan Qingxuan: “Does it hurt a lot? I didn’t realize it would hurt that much.”

The area licked by the tongue felt cool and slippery. The tongue also had some tiny barbs, making the sensation of licking even more intense.

Tan Qingxuan’s outer eye corners flushed red. Her chest heaved. She raised her hand and cupped the back of the little fox’s head, pressing her into the curve of her shoulder.

Cang Ran instantly transformed into her human form. Her furry fox fur turned into cool, smooth strands of hair. Her porcelain-white cheek was tightly pressed by Tan Qingxuan against Tan Qingxuan’s snow-like skin.

Just when she thought Tan Qingxuan was going to hit her, she was suddenly constrained so gently by Tan Qingxuan. Her softness was pressed against hers, causing Cang Ran’s body temperature to rise abruptly.

Her face was hot. She immediately drew in her limbs and felt an inexplicable panic. She didn’t dare to breathe freely.

The little fox in her arms warmed up extremely quickly, like a branding iron that would only stop once it had melted the person. But she had finally quieted down.

The frost Tan Qingxuan carried back from outside was entirely melted by Cang Ran.

She held Cang Ran like this for a moment before pushing her away. The mist in her eyes had faded, and her voice was as clear as before: “You bit me, so you can’t throw a tantrum anymore.”

Cang Ran lay beside her, a little unconvinced. She had been sad for a while, and only then did Tan Qingxuan return. So what if she bit her? It wasn’t even a vital spot.

Cang Ran showed her little fangs and pressed down on Tan Qingxuan again, angrily saying, “I wasn’t throwing a tantrum! You were in the wrong first! I want to bite again!”

After wrestling with Tan Qingxuan for a while, Cang Ran’s clothes were disheveled. Her well-proportioned, jade-like body, which was previously tightly covered, was now partially exposed. Large expanses of tantalizing skin were half-hidden.

Tan Qingxuan’s eyelashes fluttered. She remembered the Cang Ran who was begging for affection in her arms that night. She was always so unashamedly open. This was even more tempting than that time.

Tan Qingxuan raised her hand to adjust Cang Ran’s collar, smoothing out the fabric. Her expression was calm, and she brought up another matter: “No more biting. When I returned today, I noticed a human cultivator heading back from the bottom of Fox Fox Mountain. I wonder if he was secretly following you?”

Cang Ran had originally wanted to take the opportunity to mess with Tan Qingxuan a little more, but hearing Tan Qingxuan say this, she couldn’t help but frown. The human cultivator Tan Qingxuan mentioned must be Ye Ze.

That dead man. Why wasn’t he following Han Jinzhi and wagging his tail? Was he trying to scheme against her again? She had to find a way to kill him quickly.

Cang Ran looked so serious and solemn. Tan Qingxuan waited for her to say who the person was, but instead, Cang Ran got out of bed. She couldn’t help but grab Cang Ran’s wrist: “Do you know him?”

Know him? More than just know him. She remembered the plot even if it turned to dust. Now she just wanted to go and kill him.

Cang Ran nodded, intending to grab her spiritual sword and go stab Ye Ze to death. But Tan Qingxuan saw the urgency in her eyes and thought she had encountered an old acquaintance and was rushing to meet them, even late at night.

The person looked like a man and had low cultivation. Tan Qingxuan hadn’t worried about him since he posed no threat, but why was Cang Ran so eager to meet him at night? What was Cang Ran’s relationship with him?

Tan Qingxuan couldn’t help but knit her brows. She didn’t want to overthink it, but she couldn’t let Cang Ran leave like this: “Go tomorrow.”

Cang Ran wanted to kill now. That dead man even dared to follow me. If she didn’t teach him a lesson, he would really think she was a pushover.

“I’ll go now. Wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

Tan Qingxuan held her hand. Her eyes were sharp, and she said again, “Go tomorrow. I’ll go with you.”

Cang Ran rarely saw this sense of inviolability in her eyes, but Tan Qingxuan was very serious this time, giving her no room for argument.

Is Qingqing trying to control me? That felt strangely sweet.
