The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 19

Yan Jue reached towards Madam Chen’s quilt and sure enough, she felt a dampness there, with fluids gradually leaking out.

Yin Yuan (Essence/Yin Energy).

Was Madam Chen’s evil possession related to Madam Huang’s from yesterday?

Could it be that the evil spirit, not having killed Madam Huang, transferred its target after Madam Huang was rescued by them?

Many such questions suddenly popped into Yan Jue’s mind.

“…”

Duan Luxi took Miss Chen’s pulse: “I don’t know about the rest, but I know her pulse is exactly the same as Madam Huang’s yesterday!”

Qi Xianqing sat by the bedside: “Come over and listen to what she is calling out.”

Yan Jue was startled, leaned closer, and her heart gave a violent jolt.

Hu Lang.

Duan Luxi looked puzzled: “Even the name she’s calling out is exactly the same as Madam Huang’s yesterday.”

Yan Jue stood listening nearby, suddenly blinked, and noticed something by Miss Chen’s pillow. She bent down and picked it up.

A clump of hard, dark yellow fur.

Yan Jue: “What is this?”

Qi Xianqing saw the object in her hand, her eyes flickered, and she untied the Qianyuan Dai (Universe Pouch) at her waist, taking something out and holding it up.

Yan Jue was stunned when she clearly saw what was in Qi Xianqing’s hand.

A messy clump of dark yellow hair, fluttering in the wind.

Qi Xianqing: “I found this in Madam Huang’s room last night.”

“Since the same kind of hair appeared in this room, the evil spirit causing trouble is, without a doubt, the same one as before.”

Duan Luxi: “Senior Sister, what animal’s fur is this?”

Although this was just a small tuft of the evil spirit’s fur, it still exuded a faint, fishy odor.

The Five Dragon Gate once had a course that taught disciples how to identify the types of myriad spirits.

Unfortunately, that course was extremely demanding on a disciple’s sense of smell and patience, with very few people passing it.

Qi Xianqing had taken that course, so she had already made a judgment: “Monkey.”

Yan Jue slowly said: “Hu Sun (Distant Monkey).”

She didn’t finish, but everyone understood clearly.

Hu Sun, Hu Lang.

The situation was now clear.

They had originally planned to complete the mission and leave, but with the current situation, leaving was certainly impossible.

If the evil spirit is not completely eliminated, endless troubles will follow.

Qi Xianqing nodded: “The Thousand Eyed Macaque demon is the most potent in Yang energy among all demons. It particularly likes to transform into a man to seduce women into sexual intercourse, absorbing their Yin Yuan to increase its own cultivation a method of Extracting Yin to Supplement Yang if too much Yin Yuan is lost, the victim will gradually lose her sanity over time.”

“Mildly, it causes dementia; severely, it causes madness.”

Indeed, this Yin Yuan is a truly precious material for male cultivators’ advancement.

Yan Jue thought to herself, recalling how much benefit her own Yin Yuan brought to the male lead’s cultivation.

As the group was talking, they suddenly heard a shout from outside the window, seemingly from the Daoist from Qianqing Temple who had just left: “Madam Jiang from the north of the city has met with disaster. Since you esteemed Daoist friends are here, why not come and take a look with this poor Daoist? This matter is significant, and with my meager magical power, I probably cannot resolve it. I dare to ask for your assistance!”

“…”

Using the same method as yesterday to retrieve Madam Chen’s soul, the group then proceeded to the Jiang residence in the north of the city.

As expected, Madam Jiang’s situation was identical to the previous two victims.

The Daoist from Qianqing Temple was already performing a ritual inside the room.

Qianqing Temple was also a rather well-known immortal sect in the martial world, so there was no need to be overly concerned.

The group waited outside the door, watching as the sky gradually grew dark.

The deadline for this Grade D mission was seven days, and two days had already passed.

Suddenly, a roar came from inside the room. Yan Jue immediately looked through the window and saw a ball of black mist, identical to yesterday’s, rushing about wildly inside.

That Daoist’s cultivation was clearly not high he was wildly hacking in the air with a peach wood sword.

Yan Jue stared at the dark brown wooden sword and an involuntary chill ran down her entire body.

Yan Jue belatedly realized that as a fox demon, she had a natural fear of these objects used for warding off evil. Before she could react, she was already trembling all over and retreated several steps.

A massive surge of demonic energy rampaged inside her body, seemingly about to erupt. In an instant, the Demon Locking Collar around her neck seemed to react slightly, shook, and then shrank sharply, tightly confining her skin.

Something soft bumped into her back suddenly.

Qi Xianqing instinctively supported her, and Yan Jue fell directly into the girl’s embrace.

In that instant, Yan Jue was enveloped by the pleasant fragrance emanating from the Immortal Spirit Body.

Yan Jue’s legs went weak, and she almost couldn’t stand firm, hot sweat beading on her forehead.

Even after spending so long with Qi Xianqing and becoming somewhat accustomed to her scent, Yan Jue still couldn’t resist this elegant aura.

At the same time, the black mist seemed to have locked onto its target and rushed violently towards the window.

A flash of green light, and Zhu Ying (Candle Shadow) was unsheathed.

The ball of black mist was sliced in half by Qi Xianqing’s immortal sword and slowly vanished into the air.

A brief silence fell over the air.

Duan Luxi: “What exactly is this black mist?”

Qi Xianqing: “It’s a remnant thought of the evil spirit.”

Before her words had fully settled, a piercing scream suddenly came from the inner room: “Quick! Stop her! She’s trying to escape…”

With a loud “thud,” the room door was violently flung open, and a dark figure rushed out like a whirlwind.

The Daoist followed behind: “Madam! Madam!”

Yan Jue was stunned and instantly realized that the girl running away in a frenzy was Madam Jiang, who had also been afflicted by the evil possession.

Qi Xianqing’s face turned cold, and she rushed out after her.

Madam Jiang’s movement was too fast, exceeding what a mortal could achieve. Before Qi Xianqing could catch up, she was blocked by the swarm of servants gathered outside. Madam Jiang ran madly towards the latrine, letting out a heart-wrenching shriek: “Hu Lang! I’m coming with you!!!” and jumped into the cesspit.

Instantly, everyone rushed towards that spot like a tide. By the time Madam Jiang was pulled out, she had already stopped breathing.

The entire estate was shrouded in gloom.

Qi Xianqing sat in the room, feeling a surge of anger. Her fingertips unconsciously gripped her immortal sword, Zhu Ying, her knuckles turning slightly white.

She had descended the mountain many times and was well aware of the nature of these evil spirits.

These evil spirits, driven by greedy desires, had undoubtedly harmed countless innocent lives.

That was why, when her Master asked her whether to cultivate quietly in the mountains or descend to slay demons and eliminate evil, she gave up the right to a smooth advancement in the inner circle of the Five Dragon Gate and chose the latter.

If she didn’t eradicate all evil in the world, she could not face the countless lives lost to evil spirits.

If there was anything Qi Xianqing hated the most, it was demons and monsters demons being the foremost.

“…”

Qi Xianqing knew very well that severing the black mist had only severed a remnant thought of the evil spirit; this method of dispelling the evil was completely a temporary fix.

That Thousand Eyed Macaque demon would eventually find new targets.

Even if it couldn’t find new targets for the time being, after they left, it would surely prey on the three women who had now “fully recovered” from their ailments, possibly with even greater ferocity targeting the initial Madam Huang.

To completely prevent this situation, they had to find the Thousand Eyed Macaque demon.

But there were millions of young women in the city, and without knowing its next target, waiting for it to appear was too difficult.

Qi Xianqing pondered in silence, then suddenly noticed something and asked, “How long do you plan on holding my hand?”

Yan Jue, having been frightened out of her wits by that evil-warding wooden sword, hadn’t realized that she had unknowingly gripped Qi Xianqing’s hand tightly.

She immediately let go of Qi Xianqing’s hand: “Sorry, I forgot.”

“…”

Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside. Duan Luxi rushed in breathlessly: “Senior Sister, it’s confirmed!”

“I asked some of the guards outside. Thirty li east of the city, there is a lewd shrine dedicated to the Thousand Eyed Macaque God. And Madam Chen, Madam Jiang, one three days ago and the other the day before yesterday, both went to worship the Monkey God.”

The Monkey God was a god of vigorous Yang energy, and this type of lewd shrine mainly managed offspring, fertility, and the birth of sons.

Duan Luxi: “But where is this evil spirit hiding? How can we find him?”

Yan Jue frowned as she glanced at the nearly dying Miss Jiang on the bed. She suddenly felt a sense of shared suffering with her.

Having one’s Yin Yuan sucked away was equivalent to directly stealing the life of an ordinary woman.

And what lay before them now were not cold paper figures, but living lives.

Yan Jue suddenly said: “I will lure him out.”

Before the words were even finished, it was as if a clap of thunder exploded beside their ears.

Qi Xianqing looked up and stared at her.

Chu Fu frowned: “A’Jue, what are you saying? Can this kind of thing be joked about? Even if there really is a Thousand Eyed Macaque demon, since he could secretly target so many women, his cultivation must be high! You are only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. One wrong move and you could have your Yin Yuan sucked away by the monster!”

Hmph. Yan Jue’s Yin Yuan would be his sooner or later anyway. Chu Fu had high standards for purity; he knew this woman’s base nature. So many women had fallen victim to that evil spirit; the demon must be incredibly imposing, powerful, and elegant. Yan Jue would likely rush to offer herself to it! He couldn’t allow anyone else to provoke what he hadn’t obtained yet!

Yan Jue didn’t even spare him a glance, turning to Qi Xianqing and saying, “Senior Sister, wait for my news.”

Qi Xianqing: “Is luring it out with yourself as bait some kind of habit of yours?”

Yan Jue was startled, realizing she was referring to the incident at the Drunken Spring Pavilion: “After all, I am the most suitable right now.”

She wasn’t wrong. Firstly, her cultivation was low, which might make the demon lower its guard if it had intelligence. Secondly, she was truly confident in her own appearance. Yan Jue dared to say that her grace and charm surpassed anyone else’s.

Duan Luxi felt the atmosphere was subtly wrong and tried to smooth things over: “Hey, Yan Jue, you really shouldn’t say that; it’s too dangerous…”

Qi Xianqing’s expression was indifferent, her tone cold: “Are you that confident in yourself?”

Yan Jue: “That is my capital. Some people, even if they lay there, the Thousand-Eyed Macaque demon wouldn’t even spare them a glance.”

Her words were loaded with hidden barbs, as she never forgot to mock Qi Xianqing at every opportunity.

Before her words settled, a killing chill suddenly escalated all around.

Qi Xianqing looked at Yan Jue, and an invisible pressure emanated from her bit by bit.

Yan Jue’s scalp tingled, and her legs felt weak, almost wanting to kneel. She felt almost suffocated. Yan Jue met those dark yet clear peach blossom eyes and sensed an unprecedented danger from Qi Xianqing.

Fear was definitely present, but she knew Qi Xianqing had the world in her heart; if this method could lure out the evil spirit, she wouldn’t disagree.

“…”

After a few moments, Qi Xianqing finally let go, saying lightly: “How are you so sure that the Thousand-Eyed Macaque demon will definitely be lured out by you?”

“If it’s about that kind of capital, I might not be inferior to you.”

Yan Jue: “?!”

Yan Jue’s eyes widened, and she scanned Qi Xianqing up and down. Her face instantly flushed crimson. This woman was doing it on purpose!

In any case, it seemed she had made the right gamble this time. Yan Jue quickly changed the subject: “Senior Sister, don’t worry, I will definitely lure it out.”

The capital she spoke of was naturally not that kind of capital. The original owner, as a fox from the Ghost Mansion, possessed outstanding aptitude and bloodline, such as this Yin Yuan that had advanced the male lead by two realms. She was a Pure Yin Body, which, although not as precious as an Immortal Spirit Body, was still a very rare physique.

“However…” Yan Jue changed the subject again: “I need your cooperation, Senior Sister.”
