The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 50
Chapter 50
Cang Ran didn’t understand anything about aphrodisiac poison. She had only heard Tan Qingxuan mention the Fox Clan’s Charm Technique once, and that was when she was healing Tan Qingxuan with her demon core.
Tan Qingxuan had vomited blood then, and Cang Ran was extremely frightened, worried that Tan Qingxuan would suddenly die right after she had taken her home.
Cang Ran was a little nervous and asked with concern: “Is your body alright? Do I need to resolve this aphrodisiac poison?”
Tan Qingxuan said gently: “When you used the demon core to heal me before, perhaps some aphrodisiac poison on the demon core entered my body. It could have been suppressed, but my Junior Sister performed acupuncture on me a few days ago, which drew the poison out again.”
Cang Ran frowned slightly, becoming more worried: “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I was very worried about you when I saw you vomit blood and feel unwell that day.”
Tan Qingxuan gently stroked her head, her eyes kind: “I couldn’t find a solution right away, and it was inconvenient to ask Junior Sister. I planned to continue suppressing it, but when we dual-cultivated just now, the toxins seemed to have been reduced.”
Cang Ran asked doubtfully: “Dual cultivation has this use? Are you feeling better now? Do you want to try again?”
Tan Qingxuan saw Cang Ran’s fox ears drooping and still not standing up. The dual cultivation had been too long, and she was clearly tired.
Tan Qingxuan’s eyes rippled, and the corners of her mouth curved into a slight smile: “I saw you were exhausted and fell asleep just now. Can you manage now?”
Cang Ran’s cheeks were a little flushed. Although her body was tired, she felt quite refreshed, and her cultivation had increased by one stage. It seemed like she was profiting from dual cultivating with Tan Qingxuan.
Cang Ran was full of energy: “Of course I can. I am the Great Fox King. But I want to be on top, and you are not allowed to squeeze my tail anymore.”
Tan Qingxuan initially squeezed the fox tail because Cang Ran’s unstable temperament made her worry. Later, she initiated being on top because dual cultivation was strenuous. If the little fox was willing to do this physically demanding task, she would certainly be more relaxed in the future.
Tan Qingxuan pulled Cang Ran into her arms: “Let’s go to the hot springs in the sleeping quarters later. The spiritual energy there is abundant and can relieve fatigue.”
Cang Ran knew Tan Qingxuan had agreed. She happily rubbed against Tan Qingxuan’s chin and asked curiously: “But why do you know more than I do? I thought you were completely clueless on Fox Fox Mountain a few days ago.”
Even if she was clueless, she would learn a thing or two from this little fox’s daily seduction. The little fox was shy just now, and now she was asking so directly about bedroom arts.
“Naturally, because I read books.” Tan Qingxuan raised her hand and activated a spell, retrieving a jade slip from a neat stack of books in the palace and handing it to Cang Ran: “I found this in the Scripture Pavilion. It records the method of dual cultivation. You can read it too.”
Cang Ran took the cool jade slip, and it automatically flipped open with a rustle. It was filled with obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient texts.
Cang Ran was surprised: “Why does your sect even have this kind of thing? But I can’t really understand it.”
“Dual cultivation is also a type of cultivation method, so naturally, we have it.”
Tan Qingxuan waved her hand, and a small figure formed from ink jumped out of the text on the jade slip, reading the text aloud to Cang Ran in a dry, monotonous tone.
It was boring, like discussing the Dao, without any emotion. Only Tan Qingxuan could seriously study it.
Cang Ran yawned: “Fine, but this sounds so boring. Is there really nothing else? I want to see the illustrated version.”
With a flick of her finger, the little figure was flicked back into the jade slip. Cang Ran closed the jade slip and placed it under her head as a pillow.
Tan Qingxuan said calmly: “Go look for it yourself in the Scripture Pavilion. If you find it, it exists. If you don’t, it doesn’t.”
Cang Ran turned over and had a thought: “Is the Scripture Pavilion far from here?”
Tan Qingxuan tapped her forehead: “Not far. You can fly there quickly on your sword. But if you go now, I will be busy later, and I won’t be able to spare time for you.”
Cang Ran pouted, and pulled out the jade slip again: “Then I won’t go. I’ll look at this jade slip again.”
Distant water can’t quench immediate thirst. Cang Ran pulled out the jade slip and opened it, reading ten lines at a glance, only picking out the parts that interested her and asking the little figure to translate for her.
Tan Qingxuan saw her studying diligently and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If this fox could put half the effort into cultivation, with her talent, she would have reached the Void Refinement stage long ago.
Dual cultivation was also a form of cultivation, but it wasn’t the orthodox path after all.
Tan Qingxuan stayed with her for a while, then got out of bed, draped her dark hair behind her head, and looked at other jade slips.
Her cultivation was two realms higher than Cang Ran’s, so she shouldn’t feel tired. However, Cang Ran was always unfocused during their first dual cultivation, and she needed to guide Cang Ran, which inevitably took more effort.
Cang Ran was almost finished reading the dual cultivation method. She looked up and saw Tan Qingxuan sitting in front of the window reading. Bamboo shadows swayed, falling on her picturesque eyebrows. Her back was straight like a pine tree, as aloof and elegant as ever.
Even after doing such intimate things with Tan Qingxuan, she still felt a sense of distance from Tan Qingxuan, as if separated by clouds. Tan Qingxuan was too reserved and quiet. Many times, it was difficult to understand what she was thinking.
She didn’t know if Tan Qingxuan loved her that much. She should, right? Tan Qingxuan had done those things with her, and she was very gentle and dedicated when they did it.
Cang Ran walked up to Tan Qingxuan, hugged her from behind, wrapped her arms around her slender waist, and sniffed the faint sandalwood scent on her: “Qingqing, I’ve finished reading the book.”
Warm breath sprayed on Tan Qingxuan’s ear, and Cang Ran rubbed her twice more. Tan Qingxuan’s cheeks felt a little warm. She put down the jade slip and nodded slightly: “Good.”
Cang Ran hadn’t noticed before, as Tan Qingxuan’s ears were covered by her hair. Now, when she gently blew a warm breath, the smooth, jade-like earlobe instantly turned red.
In matters of intimacy, Tan Qingxuan was much shyer than she was, but she refused to say it, immediately casting a restriction once they entered the sleeping quarters.
In their only two intimate encounters, the first time a ribbon covered her eyes but didn’t seal her divine sense. The second time, Tan Qingxuan actively covered her eyes and sealed her divine sense as well.
Cang Ran could only think about it in her mind. Now, seeing Tan Qingxuan’s flushed earlobe, she couldn’t help but feel intoxicated and gave it a light kiss.
She gently explored with her tongue, tasting a hint of cool, milky sweetness. Tan Qingxuan immediately turned her head to avoid it.
Tan Qingxuan’s ear was completely red, and even her neck was a deep blush, extending down into her collar.
Cang Ran stared blankly for a few seconds. Seeing Tan Qingxuan about to leave the desk, she quickly grabbed her hand and said softly: “Don’t go.”
Their eyes met, their gazes trembling, both looking away slightly.
Tan Qingxuan’s beautiful lips glistened faintly with moisture. They had been bitten by her yesterday, and upon closer inspection, they were still slightly swollen.
Cang Ran pulled Tan Qingxuan closer to her, gently blew on Tan Qingxuan’s lips: “Does it still hurt now?”
The airflow Cang Ran exhaled was warm, and her fluffy fox ears trembled along with it, making her look like a cute and harmless little beast.
Tan Qingxuan’s thick eyelashes fluttered twice. She leaned forward, tilted her head, and pressed her lips against Cang Ran’s soft lips.
The ambiguous kiss was brief. Cang Ran was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks quickly flushed.
Cang Ran was kissed into a little silly fox. Her heart raced. She looked at Tan Qingxuan with bright, clear eyes: “Why did you suddenly kiss me? I was asking if your wound hurts.”
Tan Qingxuan’s eyes held a subtle smile, and her eyebrows raised slightly: “Of course, it was to kiss a little naughty fox. You bit it open. How could it not hurt?”
Cang Ran was a little embarrassed. She stroked her lips again and gently blew on them twice: “How about now? Does it still hurt?”
Tan Qingxuan pulled Cang Ran into her embrace and said softly: “It’s better now.”
After holding each other for a while, they went to the spiritual spring pool in the sleeping quarters together.
Last time Tan Qingxuan soaked in a medicinal bath here, Cang Ran smelled a faint medicinal herb scent. She couldn’t smell it now.
She tested the water temperature in the bath. It was just right, more comfortable than the pool water she used to soak in on Fox Fox Mountain. She could also feel a layer of abundant spiritual energy on the water surface.
Cang Ran hadn’t played in the water for a long time. She transformed into a fox, jumped in, and happily swam for a while.
A milky white mist gradually rose from the water, shrouding the entire spiritual spring pool in a hazy cloud.
Just as she was about to use a spell to push the mist away, she heard the sound of Tan Qingxuan entering the hot spring pool. She quickly transformed into human form and swam to Tan Qingxuan’s side.
Tan Qingxuan’s face was elegant, her long hair spread out like water weeds on the surface of the water. Water ripples floated around her, and spiritual energy automatically circulated towards her body.
Seeing that Tan Qingxuan was seriously soaking in the hot spring, Cang Ran didn’t disturb her and soaked with her. It was indeed comfortable and relieving.
Cang Ran closed her eyes and soaked for a while. She quickly heated up. Sweat beaded on her forehead. She found her jeweled garland in the pile of clothes on the shore, took out her wine gourd, and couldn’t help but gulp down several mouthfuls of spiritual wine.
The cool spiritual wine was refreshing. The heat from soaking in the hot spring for too long dissipated a little. Cang Ran felt much better and let out a sigh of relief.
She took out a glazed cup and poured one for Tan Qingxuan: “Qingqing, do you want to drink some wine too?”
Tan Qingxuan raised her eyes, took the wine cup from Cang Ran’s hand, tasted that it was still cold, and said gently: “It’s not good to drink cold things when soaking in a hot spring. You should drink less.”
Cang Ran knew Tan Qingxuan was concerned about her health, so she nodded: “Okay. I’m just a little thirsty. Or maybe we should hurry and dual-cultivate. I don’t know why, but the longer I soak in this hot spring, the hotter I get.”
Tan Qingxuan saw that Cang Ran’s cheeks were a little flushed. She quickly pulled her closer and probed her with spiritual energy, finding that she was simply overheated from soaking in the hot spring for too long.
She reached out and rubbed Cang Ran’s head: “You should be fine. If you feel hot, we can go somewhere else.”
Cang Ran hadn’t tried it here before, so naturally, she didn’t want to leave. She kissed Tan Qingxuan’s lips: “Right here.”
She raised her hand to take the wine cup from Tan Qingxuan’s hand, but didn’t realize the wine in the cup hadn’t been finished. The liquid spilled out, scattering completely over Tan Qingxuan’s shoulders and neck.
The aroma of the fruit wine diffused everywhere. The red wine liquid flowed down the delicate, snow-white shoulders to the exquisite collarbone, gathering in a small pool in the clavicle hollow, and more flowing down into the deep and seductive cleavage.
The wine liquid was cold, emitting wisps of cold air. The icy, jade-like skin was stimulated into a faint blush, breathtakingly beautiful.
Tan Qingxuan’s peach-blossom eyes were captivating. She glanced at Cang Ran with a hint of reproach. Cang Ran’s throat instantly tightened, giving rise to an impulse to immediately possess the person in front of her.
She uncontrollably kissed Tan Qingxuan’s neck. The sweet wine scent was intoxicating. She couldn’t help but take a light bite and gently lick the area.
Because every drop of wine was precious, brewed from many bayberries, the moist, hot kiss traveled downwards. She wanted to collect all the wine liquid.
