The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 52

Chapter 52

The little hedgehog asked: “Great King, can we return to Fox Fox Mountain today?”

Cang Ran nodded: “Probably.”

The little hedgehog demon said somewhat awkwardly: “Great King, I’m a bit plump now. I accidentally ate too much. I wonder if they’ll charge us extra when we use the teleportation array?”

Cang Ran looked at the little hedgehog. Overall, she looked only one size bigger than usual. She didn’t see where she was plump: “I don’t think so. They charge by the head, and I can’t see where you’re plump?”

The little hedgehog pinched the soft flesh on her belly, weighed it a couple of times, and showed it to the Great King: “My tummy is plump. Now, when I go swimming, I can float using this ring of flesh.”

The little hedgehog’s belly was pink, with many tiny, soft tufts of hair on it. The soft flesh, when pinched and then released, wobbled back and forth very flexibly.

The fur on the little hedgehog’s belly was smoother than before she came, looking sleek and glossy. It was clear she was well-fed and often cuddled by humans.

It was better to be a little hedgehog. No worries usually.

Cang Ran snapped her fingers: “You are a little plump. It’s okay. The Great King knows how to fly with a sword now. You just stand behind the Great King and hold on tight.”

The little hedgehog let out a sigh of relief and said excitedly: “Hehe, then I’m relieved. When are we going back to Fox Fox Mountain, Great King? I’ll go pack my things now.”

Cang Ran said: “You finish packing and wait for me here. I need to go get the Sect Master’s token from Tan Qingxuan.”

When Cang Ran returned to the sleeping quarters, Tan Qingxuan was playing the zither in the hall. Her slender fingers lifted lightly, and the music was melodious and long.

Before, she thought Tan Qingxuan would eventually kill her together with the female protagonist, which made her fearful. But now, she felt that even if she died by Tan Qingxuan’s hand, it actually didn’t matter.

She only feared that Tan Qingxuan, for her sake, would truly violate her oath and walk the path of eternal damnation, as her Junior Sister had said.

Therefore, the one who should leave was her. She had already obtained what she always wanted the most. Tan Qingxuan should sit high on the cloud, and not descend to the mortal world and be stained with mud for her.

The zither music paused. Tan Qingxuan looked up at Cang Ran and asked softly: “Where did you go just now? Why weren’t you waiting for me in the sleeping quarters?”

Cang Ran felt a little nervous and walked up to Tan Qingxuan: “I didn’t go anywhere in particular. I just went to see the little hedgehog and chatted with her for a while.”

Tan Qingxuan lowered her eyes, her voice very soft: “Did you hear what my Junior Sister and I said in the main hall just now?”

Cang Ran couldn’t help but rub her fingertips. She had clearly concealed her presence, so why did Tan Qingxuan still know where she had gone?

She could only nod honestly: “I heard it.”

Tan Qingxuan said with a serious expression: “You don’t need to worry about what she said. I have a way to solve all the problems. I will hold the Dao Companion ceremony with you when the time comes. All you need to do is stay by my side.”

Cang Ran looked at Tan Qingxuan in a daze. Tan Qingxuan was just sitting there, her back straight. No matter how dark the storm, it couldn’t break her. This was the true Immortal Venerable.

Cang Ran could vaguely guess Tan Qingxuan’s method, but she truly couldn’t bear to let Tan Qingxuan suffer for her. If Tan Qingxuan refused to let her go, there would never be an end between them.

Cang Ran voluntarily sat down next to Tan Qingxuan, stretched out her arms, and tucked herself completely into Tan Qingxuan’s embrace: “Qingqing, I wish we were just an ordinary couple.”

Tan Qingxuan rubbed Cang Ran’s fox ears, consoling her: “Even if we are not an ordinary couple, I can protect you completely.”

Hearing this, Cang Ran felt inexplicably sadder. She wasn’t truly a carefree spiritual pet. She couldn’t feel at ease watching Tan Qingxuan plot so much for her, sheltering her from the storm.

She kissed Tan Qingxuan’s lips, leaned over, and pressed Tan Qingxuan against the desk. Their tongues intertwined. For the first time, she stirred so passionately, her slender fingers tracing Tan Qingxuan’s waist.

Tan Qingxuan hadn’t expected Cang Ran to be so passionate all of a sudden. Perhaps tasting desire for the first time made her addicted. She had also heard that the Demon Race was very enthusiastic about such matters, so it was normal for her to crave pleasure briefly.

She had really wronged Cang Ran these past few days, forcing Cang Ran to transform into a little fox in public due to her selfish desires.

Tan Qingxuan climbed onto Cang Ran’s back and kissed Cang Ran. She quickly began to pant, and the temperature between the two of them gradually rose.

Tan Qingxuan’s hair near her temples was damp with sweat, and her ears were pale pink. Her long hair, like a waterfall, spread over her fair back. Her waist, which could be spanned by a single hand, looked as if it was about to snap.

Cang Ran’s hand moved out from Tan Qingxuan’s disheveled robes. She pulled Tan Qingxuan into her embrace, holding Tan Qingxuan tightly, and whispered: “Qingqing.”

Tan Qingxuan’s eyes, after the moment of passion, were seductive and alluring, still misty. She leaned against Cang Ran softly, their palms touching, fingers intertwined: “Don’t be afraid. You have to believe that I can solve all this. My little fox must be good.”

She closed her eyes, a hint of fatigue between her eyebrows. She looked exhausted from the recent hard work. Cang Ran lovingly kissed her repeatedly: “But Qingqing, I don’t want you to always suffer. I also want to shelter you from the storm.”

The warm kisses landed on Tan Qingxuan’s face, a slightly tingly and itchy sensation. The corners of Tan Qingxuan’s lips curved. She stroked Cang Ran’s cheek: “It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about this, and don’t leave my side.”

Cang Ran saw that her voice was very soft and she was about to fall asleep, so she picked her up: “I’ll carry you to sleep first.”

She carried Tan Qingxuan to the bed, helped her adjust her clothes, and covered her with the silk quilt.

Cang Ran had already taken the Sect Master’s token from Tan Qingxuan earlier. She took the token out again, clutching it tightly in her palm. It was heavy and slightly abrasive to the touch.

She looked down at the token, then glanced at Tan Qingxuan, whose brows were still furrowed in her sleep. She put the token away, lowered her head, and smoothed the frown on Tan Qingxuan’s forehead.

Cang Ran was reluctant to leave. She kissed Tan Qingxuan, then hugged Tan Qingxuan into her arms, cuddling for a while before finally leaving the sleeping quarters.

She went to the little hedgehog, packed the little hedgehog’s luggage, and put it into her storage jeweled garland.

Cang Ran summoned her spiritual sword. Seeing the spiritual sword, she couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This sword was also obtained after she got together with Qingqing.

The little hedgehog watched the Great King’s reluctant demeanor from the side and couldn’t help but say: “Great King, if you don’t want to leave, let’s just stay here. Actually, staying in the Taixuan Sect is fine. I think the people here are quite nice.”

Cang Ran stepped onto the spiritual sword, pulled the little hedgehog to her front, and flew up instantly, powered by spiritual energy.

She thought flying the sword would be as smooth as Tan Qingxuan had taught her that day, but halfway through, the spiritual sword began to shake, falling straight down, about to crash.

The little hedgehog plopped onto the sword body, almost missing a step and sliding off the spiritual sword. Cang Ran quickly grabbed the little hedgehog’s chubby paw and hugged the little hedgehog into her arms.

She stood on the spiritual sword, activated her spell, and cast a spiritual energy lock to restrain the randomly moving Bashi.

“Bashi, what’s wrong with you? Are you rebelling?!”

Bashi’s sword hilt pointed towards Fuyuan Palace, clicked twice, and then pointed towards Fox Fox Mountain, shaking violently many times.

Cang Ran had been working with Bashi for so many days that she instantly understood what the little broken sword spirit was thinking again.

When Tan Qingxuan was around, Bashi was very cooperative, trying to perform well in front of the Immortal Venerable, hoping to be chosen as the Immortal Venerable’s spiritual sword soon.

When they were alone, Bashi’s stubborn donkey temper flared up. It was eating from her bowl but still eyeing Tan Qingxuan in the pot.

She had no choice but to use the little whip and show this little stubborn donkey what’s what.

Cang Ran bent her finger and flicked Bashi’s sword body, making it continuously hum, emitting dull thudding sounds.

“If you don’t go, I’ll put you in my jeweled garland right now, and then find a refining furnace and melt you down!”

The dizzy sword spirit was struck until it was thoroughly disoriented, continuously shaking its hilt.

If Cang Ran didn’t only have this one sword now, she would really have thrown Bashi away.

Cang Ran thought of an opportunity related to the male protagonist mentioned in the book, and said, losing her patience.

“I know of a secret realm that has a chance to repair you. If you want to regain your former glory, hurry up and move!”

As soon as Bashi heard this, the sword stopped being dizzy and stopped shaking from the pain. The sword body vibrated, and it could travel tens of thousands of miles again.

Cang Ran saw that it was finally cooperating, placed the little hedgehog back in front, and started flying the sword again.

This time it flew fast and steady. In less than fifteen minutes, they reached the edge of the Taixuan Sect. Cang Ran felt the barrier of the Sect Protection Array ten meters away.

She was a demon cultivator and could perceive that the Sect Protection Array was extremely powerful, likely created specifically to guard against demon and devil invasions. Even from this distance, her entire body of fiery red fox fur was fiercely lifted by the strong wind.

Cang Ran’s fur tightened. She felt the force of restraint. With the Sect Master’s token on her, she could barely keep her body from trembling, but the little hedgehog at her feet instantly curled up into a ball.

She tried touching the Sect Master’s token to the barrier, but found that the barrier flashed a circular arc of light, with light green rays circulating on it, which quickly disappeared.

After a few breaths, the barrier was still there and hadn’t been immediately breached.

Oh no, did she get a fake token?

Cang Ran examined the token in her hand again. The token was exquisite and luxurious, much higher quality than the small round token she had received before. It shouldn’t be fake.

She tried pressing all possible mechanisms, but didn’t find any.

Could it be that this thing is just a key, and she still needs to find the lock?

Cang Ran rubbed her forehead. She only remembered hearing Tan Qingxuan say she needed the Sect Master’s token to leave, but forgot to ask Tan Qingxuan how to activate it.

How embarrassing would it be to go back halfway?
