The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 2
Yan Jue had never imagined that the Male Lead of this harem novel could be so shamelessly brazen.
Even more terrifying was that her current body still retained some habits of the original owner, who was actually so eager for the Male Lead’s approach!
Chu Fu’s actions seemed extremely practiced truly befitting the great Male Lead of a harem novel. Slowly, he unbuckled his belt; his outer skirt dropped, revealing the pure white undergarments beneath.
Yan Jue mustered all her strength, sweeping her sleeve and violently slapping the Male Lead right on the chest.
Chu Fu’s face instantly turned ashen. His body jerked backward, flying a whole zhang (about 3 meters) away, his back slamming hard against the wall.
Clutching his chest, Chu Fu surprisingly spat out a mouthful of blood and began to cough violently.
Yan Jue: “…”
Yan Jue stared at her palm in disbelief, a delayed realization dawning on her: she had transmigrated into a Cultivation Novel.
She was now a Foundation Establishment early stage outer disciple of the Water Cloud Sect, as well as a fox spirit that had only recently taken human form. Her cultivation was far superior to the Male Lead’s, and she was no longer the frail woman she once was.
Chu Fu frowned, his face a menacing green: “Yan Jue, are you insane!”
Before he could finish, Yan Jue cursed him out: “First, I’m asking you, who allowed you to enter my room without permission?”
Chu Fu seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke, and he suddenly burst out laughing.
Yan Jue was baffled by his laughter, wondering if she had said something wrong.
Chu Fu stepped forward, gently pulling her into his embrace: “Senior Sister, you gave me the key two days ago; what are you talking about now? I know you’re upset, but I was just cultivating this morning and couldn’t accompany you. My talent is not as good as yours, so I must cultivate twice as hard to catch up with you.”
On Five Dragons Mountain, disciples were numerous. If everyone was about the same age, anyone with higher cultivation was called ‘Senior Sister’.
However, Chu Fu was fair-skinned with bright lips, and the way he called “Senior Sister” was particularly soft, giving Yan Jue goosebumps.
Save those words for the Female Lead!
Yan Jue raised her hand, grabbed Chu Fu’s collar, and threw him out the door, then slammed the door shut.
The room finally quieted down. Yan Jue sat on the bed, taking a deep breath.
Yan Jue was acutely aware that the Male Lead would not be so genuinely gentle towards a cannon fodder like her.
He was only doing it for her Yin Essence!
Though she was insignificant, her complete Yin Essence was a potent tool for a male cultivator to boost his cultivation!
In the original novel, the Male Lead was just a minor Qi Condensation disciple. It was only by a stroke of luck that he stumbled upon a fortunate opportunity like her, allowing him to leap from Qi Condensation to the Illumination Stage, entering the Inner Sect three years early and becoming the new genius disciple of the Five Dragons Sect.
This Chu Fu was very clever; there were many plots in the entire novel where he advanced his cultivation by relying on women.
Besides her Yin Essence, the Female Lead Qi Xianqing’s Immortal Spirit Body was also indispensable for the Male Lead’s path to Grand Ascension.
The more Yan Jue thought about it, the darker her expression grew. Regardless, she decided she must stay far away from the Male and Female Leads and find an opportunity to flee the mountain and save her life.
Having set her short term goal, Yan Jue burrowed into the quilt. The moment she closed her eyes, she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
A scorching heat spread across her chest. She retched, then suddenly felt everything around her beginning to grow larger.
Then, the quilt swallowed her whole.
Yan Jue opened her eyes in terror, looking down to see her own furry paws.
The original owner’s true form was a fox demon who had infiltrated Five Dragons Mountain.
Human form by day, fox by night.
Nothing wrong there.
Because it was her first day of transmigration, Yan Jue didn’t sleep well that night and woke up before dawn the next day.
Yan Jue subconsciously looked down and found that her hands were still a pair of furry paws.
Yan Jue leaped off the bed, looking up at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
It was a fire-red fox, exceptionally beautiful, even perfectly stunning.
Its narrow fox eyes were an amber apricot color, its fur was vibrant red, but its belly was pure white, like a white lotus blooming in a flame.
The tips of its ears were a deeply rich, inky black.
Yan Jue jumped onto the windowsill, watching a sliver of golden morning sun slowly emerge from the opposite mountain peak. She tried to frown but instead slowly scrunched up her nose.
The burning, painful wound on her shoulder.
Last night, she had struck the Male Lead with a single palm.
The surrounding mess on the floor all served to remind her:
She had truly transmigrated.
She had transmigrated into an extremely brutal cultivation world.
Yan Jue sat on the windowsill for a long time until the sliver of golden light in the sky gradually turned into brilliant gold.
She finally transformed back into her human body.
Yan Jue looked at herself in the mirror and sighed in relief.
Still beautiful, her narrow eyes were mesmerizing, seemingly veiled in a layer of alluring mist.
After washing up, Yan Jue relied on her memory, took the Qiankun (Cosmic) pouch left by the original owner, and headed out.
She quickly rushed down Five Dragons Mountain, through the dense pine forest, and then descended the steep stone steps.
Nothing has happened yet. If I don’t run now, when will I!
Then, Yan Jue was blocked at the foot of the mountain.
Yan Jue leaped up, intending to step out of the mountain gate, but a scorching heat immediately flared up from her chest. Yan Jue quickly retreated, looking up at the sky.
On the long chain bridge of the mountain gate, a faint golden boundary seemed to float!
Is this Five Dragons Mountain not a place one can leave just because one wishes to!?
Yan Jue tried for a while at the base of the mountain, but each time, she was repelled by that inexplicable golden barrier.
After the sixth time she was thrown back, Yan Jue clutched her aching arm and realized that this place genuinely was not a come and go as you please location.
Yan Jue reluctantly carried her small bundle and scurried back up the mountain.
Based on her memory of the novel, the original owner and the Male Lead lived in the Water Cloud Sect, which had the fewest disciples and a relatively high per capita distribution of resources.
Because there were few disciples, housing was relatively ample, and each disciple had a small wooden cabin.
There were still many empty houses on the mountain, so changing dorms would not be difficult.
Since the original owner had given the Male Lead the key to her room, Yan Jue felt her top priority was to move out.
Yan Jue found the Water Cloud Sect’s Housing Office and chose a wooden cabin built in a secluded bamboo forest as her new dorm.
While moving, Yan Jue cleared out the original owner’s possessions.
The original owner only came up the mountain to accompany the Male Lead, Chu Fu, so she didn’t have many belongings.
Yan Jue only found a pale pink storage bag containing about ten low-grade spirit stones.
She didn’t even have a magical artifact.
In a word: poor.
Looking at the somewhat humble and desolate room, Yan Jue felt a small sigh of emotion.
The original owner belonged to the Ghost Manor Fox Clan and was quite pampered at home. Who would have thought she would receive such treatment upon coming to Five Dragons Mountain?
All for a man.
Truly foolish.
Yan Jue carried her small bundle to her new residence. After tidying up and stepping out, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Yan Jue spun around nervously, meeting a slightly baby-faced girl’s gaze.
The girl stood behind her, blinking her eyes, and then her eyes widened in disbelief:
“Ah, ah, ah, I’m not mistaken, are I? You’re the Junior Sister Yan Jue who single handedly challenged Monarch Menghui, Foundation Establishment fighting Illumination Stage, and got beaten into the ground by Senior Sister!”
Yan Jue stared at those cute apricot eyes, suddenly feeling the wound on her shoulder subtly ache again: “…” Heh-heh, that would be me.
Yan Jue smiled: “How does Senior Sister know about me?”
The girl giggled: “Who on Five Dragons Mountain doesn’t know? Junior Sister became famous after yesterday’s battle.”
Yan Jue: “…”
After some inquiry, Yan Jue learned that the slightly baby-faced girl was named Du Ming, and she was her new neighbor.
Du Ming: “Alas, I was looking forward to seeing you and Senior Sister meet at the Peak Assembly! Who knew you’d go looking for her yesterday? You really are impatient…”
It seemed the original owner’s jealousy-fueled fight with Qi Xianqing over Chu Fu had already spread across the entire cosmos.
Yan Jue was silent for a moment, then decided to ask Du Ming exactly what foolish things the original owner had done before.
Since she couldn’t leave for now, it wouldn’t hurt to learn more about her own past ridiculous actions.
On a sunny afternoon, Du Ming sat cross-legged in front of her wooden cabin, meditating and cultivating. Suddenly, a gust of wind surged before her.
She opened her eyes in surprise, only to see her new neighbor, Yan Jue, standing before her, smiling as she asked: “Senior Sister Du, the reason I challenged Senior Sister Qi yesterday was that I had too much to drink, and my head wasn’t clear. As for what else I might have said to Senior Sister Qi… I don’t quite recall…”
Du Ming enthusiastically informed her: “Our Mount Blazefire Sect’s Senior Sister Qi is the undisputed Great Senior Sister, her title is Monarch Menghui. She’s already at the peak of the Illumination Stage cultivation! You challenged the Great Senior Sister at the dining hall, daring her to a fight at the Five Dragons Peak Assembly! We were all so excited… Foundation Establishment versus Illumination Stage… Tsk, tsk, tsk, we’re all hoping you can pull off a comeback. That would instantly make the front page of the Immortal Estate Gazette.”
Yan Jue sweated. The original owner was just a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet she dared to challenge the Illumination Stage Late stage Female Lead, Qi Xianqing, to a duel this was truly…
Du Ming’s words reminded Yan Jue of her current predicament.
The Five Dragons Peak Assembly was imminent.
Like all cultivation novels, Five Dragons Mountain also had a grand tournament similar to a martial arts competition.
The Five Dragons Peak Assembly was the grand event held every three years on Five Dragons Mountain. Disciples from every peak would have the chance to meet on the arena, and the battles were usually quite fierce.
The eventual winner would receive an unexpected reward.
The rewards were usually magical artifacts or extremely rare heavenly treasures.
Monarch Menghui, Qi Xianqing, was the winner of the Peak Assembly three years ago and the undisputed new generation genius of the Five Dragons Sect.
The reward Qi Xianqing received was her current life-bound magical artifact: the Candle Shadow Sword.
However, none of this concerned a minor waste like her.
What sent shivers down Yan Jue’s spine was the death time of the cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name in the original novel.
On the eve of the Five Dragons Peak Assembly, her demon aura leaked, her whereabouts were discovered by Monarch Menghui, Qi Xianqing, and she died by… that Candle Shadow Sword, which was used to cleanse all the filth of the world.
Yan Jue politely said: “Thank you for the explanation, Senior Sister.”
Du Ming: “Hahaha, no problem, no problem! I’m still waiting for you to provide me with more entertainment material.”
Yan Jue: “…”
Although the conversation with Du Ming was pleasant, Yan Jue did not forget the short-term goal she set yesterday: “Excuse me, Senior Sister, can one leave Five Dragons Mountain freely?”
The situation was urgent, she had to find a way to escape down the mountain.
Du Ming: “You want to leave the mountain? Have you completed the preliminary missions?”
Yan Jue raised an eyebrow: “Preliminary missions?”
Although she had read the original novel, she was not very clear about some of its settings.
After Du Ming’s explanation, Yan Jue learned that there was a peak on Five Dragons Mountain called “Mount Buzhou,” and on Mount Buzhou, there was a place called the “Steward Pavilion.”
To go down the mountain for worldly experience, Five Dragons Sect disciples had to go to the Steward Pavilion to receive something called a ‘Command Talisman’ a wooden plaque inscribed with a mission before they could leave the mountain to perform righteous deeds and slay demons.
Du Ming: “The Demonic Sect outside the mountain has been getting increasingly rampant recently. The Sect Master placed a very strict restriction at the base of the mountain ten years ago. Disciples below the Illumination Stage must complete three preliminary missions from the Steward Pavilion before leaving the mountain. This is essentially an assessment.”
“Only by successfully completing the preliminary missions and obtaining an identity token can one ensure their own safety and freely enter and exit Five Dragons Mountain.”
After thanking Du Ming, Yan Jue headed to the Steward Pavilion.
The scenery in the mountain in the afternoon was lovely.
The gentle breeze blew, and clouds and mist lingered among the emerald green mountains.
But Yan Jue was in no mood to appreciate the surroundings.
According to Du Ming, this world had three major factions: Demons, Yokai (monsters), and Humans.
The Demons and Yokai were constantly at war with humans, and in recent years, they had been growing stronger.
There was a powerful restriction at the foot of Five Dragons Mountain. Any disciple without an identity token who forced their way out would be marked.
If marked, no matter where they fled, they could be tracked down by the disciples of the Enforcement Division. Once captured, they would be treated as a suspect of colluding with demons or monsters, which was extremely troublesome.
To escape the mountain without a trace, she must complete the three “preliminary missions” set by the Steward Pavilion and obtain an identity token.
Life on Five Dragons Mountain was actually quite leisurely. It wouldn’t be bad to live as a sloth up here, but Yan Jue was very clear about her identity.
She really did not want to be pierced by the Female Lead’s sword.
Life was beautiful; she did not want to die.
Complete the preliminary missions as quickly as possible and leave the mountain immediately.
The Five Dragons Peak Assembly should be next August.
She had nine months. Time was pressing.
As soon as Yan Jue stepped into the Steward Pavilion, she saw a Junior Sister in a hazy blue Taoist robe turn around sharply and glance at her, then immediately pulled the person beside her several zhang away.
Whispers began to ripple through the crowd.
“Isn’t that the one who is always with Senior Brother Chu…”
“So shameless. Her own cultivation is poor, yet she keeps pestering Senior Brother Chu, trying to destroy the relationship between the Great Senior Sister and Senior Brother Chu!”
“You can ignore her infatuation with Senior Brother Chu, but she’s repeatedly tripped up the Great Senior Sister. A few days ago, she even challenged the Great Senior Sister to an arena duel. How childish. It’s only because the Great Senior Sister has a good temper.”
“The Great Senior Sister doesn’t have a good temper; she just doesn’t deign to bother with her!”
Yan Jue, without realizing it, had become the center of discussion for all the disciples in the Steward Pavilion.
She pretended not to hear, maintaining a smile as she approached the counter.
Hanging in front of the counter was a string of brown wooden plaques, inscribed with text.
This was a string of mission plaques, also called ‘Command Talismans’.
Yan Jue looked at the mission plaques, suddenly feeling a surge of excitement, just like the feeling she had when reading about cultivators going down the mountain to perform righteous deeds in novels.
Yan Jue explained the situation to the Elder: “Hello, I’m here to accept the preliminary missions.”
The Elder looked troubled: “I apologize, but it’s the end of the year, and the preliminary missions for the Foundation Establishment stage are very sought after. They’ve basically all been taken.”
Yan Jue: “Huh?”
Seeing her disappointed face, the Elder pondered for a moment and said: “However, there is one mission here that hasn’t been chosen. If you don’t mind, Fellow Daoist, you can try it.”
The Elder pulled open a drawer, took out a wooden plaque, and handed it over.
Yan Jue frowned as she read the large characters on the plaque.
Qingye Town
Drunken Spring Brothel, Serial Murder Case.
Culprit: Mortal, Early to Mid Qi Condensation.
Mission Difficulty Rating: Epsilon.
The Five Dragons Sect divided mission difficulty into Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, with Alpha being the hardest and Epsilon the simplest.
The preliminary missions included only the ‘Epsilon’ and ‘Delta’ levels.
Yan Jue was stunned: “But this mission is so simple, why hasn’t anyone chosen it?”
The Elder explained with difficulty: “Perhaps because it’s too simple, everyone feels it lacks a challenge. After all, while the preliminary missions are just for entry, everyone still wants to choose the harder ones to gain experience and have a higher starting point.”
“…”
Isn’t this exactly what I want!
A sudden realization struck Yan Jue. She then heard the Elder say: “Fellow Daoist, you must pay attention to the mission talisman’s deadline. Starting from the moment you leave the mountain, the deadline for this talisman is one month. If the mission is not completed within the stipulated time, you must enter solitary reflection for half a year and cannot accept any other missions.”
Yan Jue nodded, took the mission plaque, tucked it into her bag, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a shriek rang out: “Monarch Menghui is here!!!”
Monarch Menghui: Qi Xianqing.
In an instant, the surrounding crowd began to stir.
Yan Jue was startled and followed the flow of people.
It can’t be this unlucky, can it?
She took a few steps forward, then immediately stopped.
To prevent her hostility meter from being completely full, leading to her tragic death, she absolutely must try her best to minimize her presence in front of the Female Lead recently.
She couldn’t do anything about the things the original owner had done, but now she absolutely could not attract any more animosity.
Qi Xianqing’s reputation on Five Dragons Mountain was simply too high. All five peaks were her ardent supporters. Everyone rushed toward the entrance at once, completely clogging the small doorway, making it impossible to squeeze out.
Yan Jue was silent for a few seconds, then expressionlessly walked toward the back door.
Compared to the front, the back door of the Steward Pavilion was very empty. Light green gauze curtains hung down, drifting in the wind, creating a dreamy, hazy atmosphere.
Yan Jue’s steps quickened. Suddenly, she heard a panicked voice behind her: “Hey, that Junior Sister! Wait…”
Yan Jue paused, looked back, and because she wasn’t watching where she was going, the next second, she slammed hard into a soft embrace.
A faint, cloud like fragrance wafted into her nostrils. Suddenly, she felt a chilling killing intent. If she were a fox right now, all her fur would be standing on end.
Yan Jue looked up, meeting Qi Xianqing’s cold and indifferent face!
