The Aloof Immortal Venerable is Pregnant with My Fox Cub - Chapter 71
Chapter 71
Cang Ran pulled Tan Qingxuan’s hand, placing it over her own heart. Blushing, she kissed the corner of Tan Qingxuan’s lips, “I don’t know why, but I’m always thinking about you, wanting to cling to you every single moment. Will you find me annoying?”
She knew she was quite clingy. Earlier, when she received the incomplete letter, she was sad every day.
But as soon as Tan Qingxuan showed her a little kindness, she couldn’t help but wag her tail. Her heart was completely at Tan Qingxuan’s mercy.
Tan Qingxuan was usually aloof. Being constantly pestered by her to do such things, would she be bothered? Would she stop liking her?
Tan Qingxuan’s heart rippled slightly. No matter how cold her nature, how could she refuse a charming little fox cuddling up to her?
She lowered her gaze and also kissed Cang Ran’s lips. It was very soft, like honey.
Tan Qingxuan gently stroked the warmth beneath her palm and said softly, “No, I won’t.”
She occasionally felt that Cang Ran wasn’t like a fox, but rather a rabbit—easily startled, looking at her pitifully, getting frustrated and helpless, and feeling sad and lost.
Having seen this other side of Cang Ran, she loved her more than anyone else and cherished her even more.
Cang Ran didn’t need to be dazzling; it was enough for her to be a lovely little fox just for her.
Cang Ran knew she shouldn’t be clinging to Tan Qingxuan during her pregnancy, but they hadn’t been intimate for long before, and the number of times they’d even kissed could be counted on one hand.
She just wanted to kiss, to hug, to stick close to Tan Qingxuan. Hearing Tan Qingxuan say she wouldn’t be annoyed made her frustrated mood lift a little.
Tan Qingxuan’s fingertips were always a bit cool. Cang Ran felt a pleasant tingle all over and instinctively kissed Tan Qingxuan’s lips again.
She was inexperienced and had only ever kissed Tan Qingxuan. She always found it very soft and sweet.
No matter how many times she kissed her, it was never enough. Although they had kissed for so long the day before yesterday, today she felt possessed, wanting to be intimate with her again.
Cang Ran’s rosy tongue easily slipped in, dominating and conquering the space in Tan Qingxuan’s mouth.
Tan Qingxuan also held her hand and gently placed it over her heart. Although it was such a simple action, Cang Ran’s throat bobbed, her heart beat rapidly, her earlobes instantly turned crimson, and her breathing became hurried.
Cang Ran couldn’t handle Tan Qingxuan’s initiative at all. Previously, when she was all over her, Tan Qingxuan would hold her back, but like this, she felt dizzy.
While kissing Tan Qingxuan, she let her gaze wander over Tan Qingxuan’s exquisitely beautiful and otherworldly face, greedily tracing every inch, her throat constantly bobbing.
Tan Qingxuan’s skin was extremely delicate. When they kissed, only her cheeks would show a slight flush, and at most, her earlobes would turn completely red.
Tan Qingxuan had just placed her hand there, and her cheeks were tinged with a beautiful red glow, as if telling her that that spot was open for a touch, gently coaxing her.
Why was Qingqing so good, but she wasn’t a good fox?
She was a bad fox; she didn’t just want to touch; she wanted to kiss too.
Cang Ran kissed Tan Qingxuan’s cool lips, but it wasn’t enough. Muddled with desire, she untied Tan Qingxuan’s sash.
Tan Qingxuan’s breathing was ragged from Cang Ran’s kisses. Her red lips were bitten a little harder, causing a soft moan to escape.
She slightly furrowed her brows, her slender fingers stroking Cang Ran’s back.
After a moment, her divine sense suddenly detected someone approaching the main hall. She pushed Cang Ran away and lightly chided, “Someone is here.”
Cang Ran, whose body was hot from kissing and wanted to continue, was held by the face by Tan Qingxuan. She had no choice but to pull Tan Qingxuan’s hand downwards, “You have to take responsibility for me. Look at the state I’m in.”
A wet sensation came from Tan Qingxuan’s fingertip. Her heartbeat skipped a few beats, and she lightly bit her lower lip. She was the one being kissed, so how could this fox have a greater reaction than her?
Cang Ran’s eyes welled up with moisture. Hearing Tan Qingxuan’s moans also excited her. How could she just leave? That was too much.
She looked at Tan Qingxuan and softly pleaded, “Qingqing, my wife, I want to kiss a little longer. Or, you can just touch me.”
Cang Ran was using her pure, small-beast-like eyes on her again. Transparent moisture glistened on her rosy lips, making her look exceptionally alluring.
Tan Qingxuan’s neck felt slightly warm. How could there be such a clingy fox spirit? The Dao Companion Ceremony hadn’t even taken place yet, but she was already calling her ‘wife.’
She reassuringly kissed Cang Ran’s hibiscus-like cheek. Her expression was serene, and she said gently, “Don’t mess around. If it weren’t for our baby, Junior Sister wouldn’t have been injured and poisoned. You go wash up in the hot springs, and then come to the main hall.”
Although Tan Qingxuan’s words were reasonable, Cang Ran just wanted to make a fuss.
“I can just use a Cleansing Art. Let’s go together.”
Cang Ran took out a new set of moon-white clothes with intricate dark patterns from her storage artifact, covering her red gauze robe, and tied the sash of the skirt.
She casually tidied herself up and was about to leave. Tan Qingxuan helped Cang Ran straighten her lapel before they left the sleeping chambers together.
Lin Mingyue had been waiting anxiously. Upon seeing Tan Qingxuan, she immediately bowed, “Venerable Qingxuan, after my Master took the medicine just now, not only did the poison not subside, but she also started vomiting blood even more severely.”
Hearing this, Tan Qingxuan’s expression became grave, “She was getting better yesterday. Why did she suddenly become so serious today? Have you invited people from the Myriad Medicine Sect yet?”
Lin Mingyue was beside herself with panic, “I have. As soon as Master noticed something was wrong, she told me to immediately send the pre-prepared communication jade slip to the Myriad Medicine Sect. She fainted right after saying that. Venerable, what should we do now?”
Tan Qingxuan knew the situation was urgent, “I’ll go with you by sword first. Venerable Yuheng’s latest relapse is fiercer than usual. The sect has a Frigid Essence Cave. Inside, there is a ten-thousand-year cold jade bed. We must first put Venerable Yuheng on the cold jade bed to slow the spread of the toxins.”
Only then did Lin Mingyue find some focus. She flew with Tan Qingxuan on her sword towards Cuiwei Palace. Cang Ran also followed them.
When Cang Ran arrived, she saw Song Zhen lying on the bed, her breath faint, her body and face a dark purplish color from the poisoning. The fresh blood she had just vomited was now green and foamy, emitting a pungent odor.
Chu Mingyu and Zheng Mingxin were attending to her. Without needing Tan Qingxuan to act, they followed Lin Mingyue’s direction and immediately placed Song Zhen on a flying artifact, moving her to the ten-thousand-year cold jade bed in the Frigid Essence Cave.
Cang Ran, being a fire spirit root, could not enter the Frigid Essence Cave. She could only wait outside while Tan Qingxuan suppressed the toxins with spiritual energy for Song Zhen.
After a long while, Tan Qingxuan emerged from the Frigid Essence Cave. Cang Ran couldn’t help but ask, “How is she? Has Song Zhen’s condition stabilized?”
Song Zhen’s three disciples all looked nervous, turning to Tan Qingxuan and asking, “Venerable Qingxuan, is my Master feeling better?”
Tan Qingxuan frowned deeply, “The toxin in her body is extremely potent. Before the people from the Myriad Medicine Sect arrive for diagnosis, we will need cultivators above the Cave Void stage to take turns suppressing it. Go and invite Venerable Yaoguang. She has an ice-type spirit root and can join me in the Frigid Essence Cave.”
Hearing this, Lin Mingyue quickly said, “I will go invite Venerable Yaoguang right now. Mingyu, Mingxin, you two stay here and guard Master.”
Cang Ran looked at Tan Qingxuan with worry, transmitting her voice, “Are you sure the child in your belly is safe while you’re healing her like this?”
Tan Qingxuan shook her head, “It’s fine. The pregnancy is stable. We must prioritize taking care of Junior Sister now.”
Cang Ran could only hope that the people from the Myriad Medicine Sect would arrive quickly. Unable to help, she could only stay by Tan Qingxuan’s side. After Venerable Yaoguang arrived to assist, she and Tan Qingxuan waited outside for their next turn to enter.
Song Zhen’s condition was poor. Although Tan Qingxuan was waiting, she was deeply worried. She picked up her brush and wrote several letters urging the head of the Myriad Medicine Sect on a communication jade slip.
After sending the letters, Tan Qingxuan swapped shifts with Venerable Yaoguang and re-entered the Frigid Essence Cave to care for Song Zhen.
Cang Ran suppressed her anxiety and could only wait silently. She truly hoped that Song Zhen’s life was as resilient as her mouth.
Please don’t let anything happen. If she dies, she won’t be able to repay Song Zhen’s debt of gratitude. Even though Song Zhen was annoying, she was, after all, Tan Qingxuan’s only Junior Sister and had risked her life for her and Tan Qingxuan’s child. Tan Qingxuan would be sad.
She was a generous fox and wouldn’t hold a grudge. Once Song Zhen recovers, she would definitely help her catch the little bird demon back.
Just then, the sword Eighty on the table suddenly buzzed and flew out. Cang Ran didn’t understand what Eighty was up to.
Soon, Eighty picked up a light, soft, white cloth and flew back, waving it in front of her as if showing off.
Cang Ran noticed the cloth looked like the one she used every day to wipe the Washing Moon Divine Sword, and immediately understood, “You upgraded into a Divine Sword, and now you want me to wipe your sword too? If you’d just had a couple of peanuts, you wouldn’t be this drunk.”
Eighty twisted and shook in dissatisfaction in front of Cang Ran, refusing to let go of the cloth, determined not to give up until its owner wiped its sword today.
The Washing Moon Divine Sword suddenly flew over from Fuyue Palace and immediately snatched back the exclusive sword-wiping cloth from Eighty’s hilt.
The Washing Moon Divine Sword handed the cloth to Cang Ran, signaling that it was time for Cang Ran’s daily sword-wiping session.
Cang Ran had promised the Washing Moon Divine Sword, so she naturally had to follow through, “Washing Moon doesn’t want you to use it. I’ll find you another sword-wiping cloth when I get back. Don’t make a fuss now.”
Cang Ran turned into a little fox, glanced at the Frigid Essence Cave, and sighed in her heart. She then began to carefully wipe the body of the Washing Moon Divine Sword, even using her soft paws to warm the divine sword.
Eighty was so angry that its blade was twisting. It was a Divine Sword now too, and the owner hadn’t even touched it with her paw yet!
It began to sulk on the ground, its humming too loud, disturbing the Washing Moon Divine Sword. The Washing Moon Divine Sword’s blade vibrated, knocking it away. It flew back after a while and hovered around Cang Ran.
