The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Hot air rose in the hot spring pool, and white water vapor steamed in the air, where two graceful figures were intertwined.

Tan Qingxuan leaned against the edge of the pool, her eyes very alluring. Her three thousand strands of dark hair, which were originally tied up, were scattered and left unmanaged.

Her body was covered with scattered, faint red marks. She stroked Cang Ran’s cheek, calmed her breathing for a moment, and her voice was very hoarse: “That’s enough, no more.”

Cang Ran was embracing her, kissing her cheek twice: “I’ll carry you to the bed.”

Tan Qingxuan nodded slightly: “Thank you for the trouble, A’Ran.”

Cang Ran kissed the corner of her lips and smiled faintly: “No trouble at all.”

She washed her smooth jade fingers again, picked Tan Qingxuan up from the water, and used a spell to dry their bodies and wet long hair.

Cang Ran carried Tan Qingxuan out of the hot spring pool. They lay down on the bed together, pressed closely against each other.

Cang Ran buried her face in the crook of Tan Qingxuan’s neck, sniffing the faint sandalwood scent on her hair. Never before had she been so infatuated with one person.

She rubbed against Tan Qingxuan repeatedly, kissing her cheek for a moment, and then her neck for another, like a cute little beast who had received its most beloved gift and couldn’t bear to let go.

Tan Qingxuan’s eyebrows were gentle. She stroked Cang Ran’s head: “Do you want it again?”

Cang Ran’s cheeks instantly flushed hot. Was she that lustful in Tan Qingxuan’s eyes, wanting it again right after they finished?

Cang Ran shook her head: “Not now. Qingqing, do you like me?”

A faint smile steeped in Tan Qingxuan’s eyes: “Mm.”

Joy blossomed in Cang Ran’s eyes. She said sweetly: “I like you too.”

She wanted Tan Qingxuan to return to Fox Fox Mountain with her, to live the life they had before.

But Tan Qingxuan wouldn’t agree. Tan Qingxuan was going to accept the female protagonist, Yun Muyu, as a disciple and stay in the Taixuan Sect to manage the sect. Tan Qingxuan had lived here for eight hundred years. This sect was Tan Qingxuan’s home.

She herself missed Fox Fox Mountain after leaving it for over half a year, let alone asking Tan Qingxuan to leave the sect.

The little fox suddenly looked dejected. Tan Qingxuan noticed the hint and lowered her head to kiss the fine hair on the little fox’s ears: “Why are you suddenly unhappy?”

Cang Ran looked up at Tan Qingxuan’s beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She truly couldn’t bear to leave her. Staying in the Taixuan Sect wasn’t so bad. Perhaps the plot wouldn’t find her.

She hadn’t received much warmth since childhood, but being with Tan Qingxuan gave her a very warm and happy feeling. She wanted to possess this love forever, and live in peace and harmony with Tan Qingxuan year after year.

Cang Ran kissed Tan Qingxuan’s lips, her eyes full of affection: “Qingqing, I really like you. I truly do.”

Tan Qingxuan naturally knew this. Even after cultivating for many years, she was still susceptible and was moved by this ardent and direct heart, perhaps giving herself to Cang Ran.

Her cheeks were slightly warm. She held Cang Ran tighter and gently hummed in agreement.

After hugging for a while, Tan Qingxuan said softly: “Junior Sister is here at Fuyuan Palace. I need to go see her. Do you want to come with me?”

Cang Ran thought for a moment and shook her head: “I don’t want to go. Come back quickly once you’ve gone. I’ll wait for you in the sleeping quarters.”

Tan Qingxuan knew Cang Ran didn’t get along with her Junior Sister, so she didn’t force her. She got up and put on her clothes.

Cang Ran helped her put on a light-colored outer robe, fastened the waist seal, and leaned in to kiss Tan Qingxuan’s cheek again.

Tan Qingxuan stroked Cang Ran’s porcelain-white cheek and left the sleeping quarters, leaving Cang Ran alone on the bed to daydream.

Song Zhen still hadn’t returned the Sect Master’s token to Tan Qingxuan. Cang Ran wondered if she was here to deliver the token this time. After thinking for a moment, she decided to secretly follow and see.

As soon as Tan Qingxuan entered the main hall, Song Zhen greeted her. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that Senior Sister was different today. Her eyes held a spring-like allure, a charm that only shows after first experiencing desire.

She was somewhat disbelieving and hesitated: “Senior Sister, you and that fox demon…?”

Tan Qingxuan frowned slightly: “Yes. This is a private matter between her and me.”

Song Zhen was shocked to hear Senior Sister admit it herself. She knew that Senior Sister’s cultivation had fully recovered. The fox demon was only in the Nascent Soul stage. If Senior Sister was unwilling, the fox demon, even if she used all her charm, couldn’t force Senior Sister.

But she didn’t feel the fox demon was worthy of Senior Sister in any way. She had some talent, but her Senior Sister was a reincarnated High God, leading the Immortal Sect. How could such a person, magnificent as the breeze and the moon, be defiled by a fox demon?

Dual cultivating with the fox demon would not yield any benefit for Senior Sister. In fact, she had to help the fox demon increase her cultivation. It looked like Senior Sister was the one losing out.

Song Zhen felt extremely uncomfortable. Unable to blame Senior Sister, she could only blame the fox demon: “Senior Sister, demon races are naturally cunning. You are only temporarily confused by her. The fox demon is merely coveting your pristine Yin body for dual cultivation and replenishment. If she truly loved you, she shouldn’t have seduced you into such intimate acts.”

Tan Qingxuan’s expression was stern. She said seriously: “Our feelings are mutual, and I did it willingly. I will complete the ritual to form a pair with her in the future. You must no longer call her a fox demon. You must respect her. Her name is Cang Ran, and she is my Dao Companion.”

Song Zhen immediately objected: “Senior Sister, absolutely not. I will keep the matter of your dual cultivation with her a secret, but you absolutely cannot complete the ritual to form a pair. Cang Ran is a demon cultivator. If the world finds out you are with a demon cultivator, you will suffer eternal damnation, and other sects will attack you in groups!”

Tan Qingxuan’s eyes were cold: “None of them are my match. Since I have recognized Cang Ran, I will never betray her.”

Song Zhen said anxiously: “Senior Sister, have you forgotten the vow you made before our Master? That your life’s purpose is to protect the people of the world, and you will never abandon the Taixuan Sect. If you break this oath, you will surely be punished by heaven.

If you abandon the Taixuan Sect for Cang Ran, a mere demon, Cang Ran will not achieve a righteous end either. Humans and demons are fundamentally different. Moreover, she is merely a trial of love for you, not a true connection. Only by overcoming this emotional hurdle can Senior Sister attain the Dao.”

Seeing Tan Qingxuan remain silent for a long time, Song Zhen presented the Sect Master’s token back to Tan Qingxuan, advising her at the same time: “Senior Sister, this token has been with me for some days. Tomorrow is the Sect Master’s succession ceremony. It is time to hand it back to Senior Sister.

If Senior Sister truly wishes to form a Dao Companion with a woman, I can help Senior Sister find some young and beautiful female cultivators in the various major sects.”

Even if they weren’t as stunning as Cang Ran, they would at least be people of integrity. She had known Senior Sister for hundreds of years. Senior Sister was not easily swayed by beauty. Senior Sister had only been with Cang Ran for a few months. She was merely inexperienced in love and briefly indulged in it.

Cang Ran, who had been following in hiding, heard all of Song Zhen’s words clearly. All along, she had felt that her relationship with Tan Qingxuan was a matter between the two of them. She hadn’t expected it to ruin Tan Qingxuan’s reputation.

Just as Song Zhen said, if she hadn’t appeared, Tan Qingxuan’s life would have been extremely smooth. She wouldn’t have met her, nor would she have this trial of love. She benefited the most from dual cultivating with Tan Qingxuan, not Tan Qingxuan.

Because of her existence, Tan Qingxuan had to constantly mediate with people. She didn’t want Tan Qingxuan to be put in a difficult position between her and her Junior Sister, and she certainly didn’t want Tan Qingxuan to be slandered and defamed by others.

If she accepted the female protagonist as a disciple, adhering to the will of heaven, they would become a pair of master and disciple envied by everyone. They wouldn’t have any more dealings with her, this demon, and wouldn’t be criticized. Even finding a cultivator would be better than being with her, a demon.

At first, she had only wanted to bring Tan Qingxuan home, save her life, and let Tan Qingxuan help her relieve her estrus period. But she asked for too much, wanted to possess too much, and thus had all those thoughts.

Cang Ran left the main hall in a daze, feeling that the world was vast, and she didn’t know where to go.

As Cang Ran walked, she arrived at the side hall, thinking that the little hedgehog should be inside. It would be a good time to ask the little hedgehog to pack her luggage.

The door to the side hall was open. The little hedgehog was entertaining a guest like a little host.

The little hedgehog took out the dried spiritual meat and filled a round table with it: “Eat all this dried meat casually. Don’t be polite. The Great King and I are very hospitable.”

The young girl in white clothes laughed merrily: “Aren’t these what I bring you every day? And you’re treating me with them? Since you came from Fox Fox Mountain in the Demon Realm, didn’t you bring any other specialties?”

The little hedgehog scratched her head with her claws: “I brought some and put them in a package. The Great King kept it for me. Wait, I’ll go get it from the Great King now.”

The little hedgehog jumped down from the stool. She suddenly remembered that the Great King had been in the Immortal Venerable’s sleeping quarters these past few days, probably doing the kind of things that make demons happy. If she went, the Great King would definitely kick her fat butt.

Just as the little hedgehog was about to turn back, she suddenly saw the Great King at the door. She immediately rushed into the Great King’s arms and said happily: “Great King, you finally came out. I missed you so much.”

Cang Ran’s terrible mood was somewhat healed. She smiled, took out the package from her jeweled garland, and handed it to the little hedgehog: “It hasn’t been that long, has it? Here’s your package. What did you put in it?”

The little hedgehog chuckled: “They are all very delicious things. There are so many delicious foods here, I almost forgot about these.”

The little hedgehog pulled the Great King into the side hall, mysteriously opened the package, and pulled out several yellowish-brown oiled paper packets.

Cang Ran knew the little hedgehog’s diet and had a bad feeling. Zheng Mingxin, on the other side, was already rubbing her hands in anticipation.

The little hedgehog used her sharp claws to slice through the dried grass ropes tied around the oiled paper packets. She unwrapped them one by one: a packet of silkworm pupae, a packet of cicadas, and a packet of bird eggs.

The little hedgehog’s small black beady eyes sparkled: “Ta-da! Isn’t it a super surprise?”

Cang Ran and Zheng Mingxin glanced at them and were stunned on the spot.

Storage spiritual artifacts can preserve freshness. These insects were packed by the little hedgehog not long after they died, a very unique way of dying.

The little hedgehog held the oiled paper packet, extremely flattering: “Great King first!”

Cang Ran politely declined: “No, the guest comes first. You should offer it to the guest first.”

The little hedgehog handed it to Zheng Mingxin: “If the Great King doesn’t eat, then you eat it.”

Zheng Mingxin took two steps back, nervously looking around: “Master should be almost done discussing with Immortal Venerable Qingxuan, right? I won’t bother you any longer. I’ll take my leave.”

The little hedgehog’s claw held onto Zheng Mingxin’s sleeve, hospitably inviting her: “Since you’re already here, eat before you go! I and the other little demons collected these for days to catch so many. They are all very delicious!”

The little hedgehog held the oiled paper packet, trying to feed her. Zheng Mingxin resisted, shaking her head in panic, and was backed into a corner by the little hedgehog.

Cang Ran quickly stopped the little hedgehog: “Little Hedgehog, bring them to me first. I’ll process them for you, cook them before you eat.”

The little hedgehog obediently handed the oiled paper packets to the Great King. Cang Ran washed them all, took out a small pot, poured oil in, and fried them until they were a brilliant golden color using her demon fire. A mouth-watering fragrance wafted out.

Smelling the aroma, Zheng Mingxin dared to take a fried cicada with her hand. Seeing the little hedgehog eating with gusto, she couldn’t help but take a bite.

Her eyes lit up: “It’s truly delicious.”

The little hedgehog actively offered the majority to Zheng Mingxin: “See? You eat more. The Great King and I eat fresh ones on Fox Fox Mountain. You bring us delicious food every day. Take these and eat them.”

Zheng Mingxin was a little embarrassed: “Master ordered me to bring those. Besides, you are Immortal Venerable Qingxuan’s spiritual pets. This is what I should do.”

Cang Ran waved her hand: “It’s fine. Take them and eat. We will be returning to Fox Fox Mountain in a few days. The little hedgehog can catch more.”

Zheng Mingxin was immediately disappointed to hear they were leaving: “Why are you leaving? Aren’t you having a good time in the sect? Can I come and find you if I go down the mountain for training?”

The little hedgehog quickly looked at the Great King. Cang Ran cautioned Zheng Mingxin: “The Demon Realm is too dangerous. Your cultivation isn’t high. Some great demons drink human blood and eat human hearts.”

Zheng Mingxin clenched her fists: “I will cultivate diligently! When my cultivation is complete, I’ll secretly go to Fox Fox Mountain to find you!”

The little hedgehog said happily: “Great! When I have money then, I’ll treat you to reading storybooks together.”

Zheng Mingxin and the little hedgehog clinked paws, made an agreement for their next meeting, and then left with the food the little hedgehog gave her.

The little hedgehog looked at Cang Ran: “Great King, are we really leaving this time?”
