The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 26.1
Yan Jue stared at her reflection in the mirror for a while.
The little fox’s tail was very fluffy.
Just a few days ago, it was like a small scallion sprout, but that first tail had actually grown out.
Yan Jue shook her two fluffy tails.
She deeply understood that she was no longer an ordinary little fox.
She was now a two-tailed fox; the extra tail hadn’t diminished her beauty but made her even more stunning.
The two flame-like tails swayed in the air, graceful and elegant, like a divine beast in a painting.
Yan Jue felt the demonic energy surging violently inside her, so she jumped out the window.
She wanted to go to the Cold Pool.
The spiritual energy of the Cold Pool was undoubtedly the most comfortable for Yan Jue.
After several interactions with Qi Xianqing, Yan Jue found that Qi Xianqing, at least, held no killing intent toward her.
It was all thanks to the demon-locking collar around her neck, which jingled like a bell when she walked.
Qi Xianqing probably mistook her for some spirit pet belonging to someone else because of this.
Besides, no matter what animal had demonic aura, as long as it hadn’t taken human form, it wouldn’t cause any major trouble.
Animals growing in the spirit rich mountain forest would inevitably carry some spiritual energy all over their bodies. Over time, this spiritual energy accumulating on an animal would turn into demonic energy.
All the malice in this world towards demons was directed at those who had taken human form and committed evil deeds.
On the way, Yan Jue thought that she probably wouldn’t see Qi Xianqing by the lake tonight.
After all, Qi Xianqing had arranged to meet her tomorrow morning, so she should be asleep by now.
Yan Jue arrived at the Cold Pool and habitually crouched in the grass.
She actually saw Qi Xianqing’s figure not far away!
Qi Xianqing was leaning lazily against a tree, wearing a light cloud colored, wide sleeved, multi-layered skirt. Her exposed collarbone was slender and delicate, and her long black hair was draped over her shoulders.
She kept her head down, with a small barbecue grill set up in front of her.
Qi Xianqing slowly grilled something, and the aroma of roast meat filled the entire Cold Pool area.
Yan Jue stopped in her tracks, unable to help but be stunned.
Qi Xianqing always gave off the aura of an immortal who had not touched the mundane world; even when dressing normally, she preferred plain colors and tighter sleeves for convenience.
Dressed like this now, she was as beautiful as a fairy descending to earth.
Yan Jue took a few steps forward, her paws making faint rustling sounds on the ground.
The smell of the roast meat over there was too enticing; Yan Jue felt her fox instincts beginning to stir again.
Qi Xianqing seemed to have heard her footsteps long ago, looked up at her, and said slowly: “You’re here, come eat some meat.”
Yan Jue had initially wanted to maintain a bit of reserve, but this thought was quickly defeated because this fierce woman actually picked up a skewer of the fragrant roast meat and began to chew slowly right in front of her.
Instinct began to roar wildly in her brain. Yan Jue realized she couldn’t seem to suppress the fox’s instincts very well.
Well, the little fox wants to eat, what does that have to do with me?
Yan Jue hopped over, wagging her tails behind her, resting her front paws on Qi Xianqing’s leg, and kept crying “Woah woah.”
Qi Xianqing: “Little foodie.”
Her voice was soft, with a slight nasal tone, exceptionally gentle, which sharply tickled Yan Jue’s ears.
Yan Jue stared at her, her large, dark ears twitching.
Qi Xianqing gave her the roast meat, and Yan Jue began to eat.
Qi Xianqing was really smart. Last time she gave her a bone and found that Yan Jue didn’t like to eat it, so she changed tactics to feed her human food.
As Yan Jue was eating, she suddenly stiffened, and her hind legs unconsciously tensed.
Qi Xianqing was touching her tail again, seriously picking up one of her tails to examine it, and then patted the base of the tail.
Yan Jue’s entire body trembled. She hadn’t fully adapted to this fox body yet. Being touched by Qi Xianqing, that innate desire and instinct roared again. Eventually, her legs went weak, and she slowly lay down on the ground, extending her furry paws forward.
She looked completely defenseless, ready to be taken advantage of.
“As expected.” Qi Xianqing murmured. “Two tailed Spirit Fox.”
This was a world full of spiritual energy.
In this world, it wasn’t strange for an animal to have two tails.
Spirit foxes could have two tails, or three tails.
Some spirit foxes had tails growing up to six, which was already extremely rare.
If a six-tailed spirit fox was rare, then the apex of the spirit fox hierarchy was the legendary Nine Tailed Spirit Fox.
Nine-tailed foxes were naturally intelligent. If they didn’t follow an evil path and focused on cultivation, breaking through the Great Gate of the Seventh Realm was entirely foreseeable.
It’s just that the Nine Tailed Fox was cruelly slaughtered by the Immortal Sect a thousand years ago, so they were almost extinct.
She… couldn’t be, right?
After finishing the chicken leg, Yan Jue saw Qi Xianqing stand up: “You’re full. Let’s go for a walk. Look how fat you’ve gotten.”
Yan Jue: “?”
Is it polite to call a girl fat?
Qi Xianqing walked ahead, and Yan Jue hopped along behind her.
She remained somewhat cautious, maintaining a certain distance from Qi Xianqing.
Qi Xianqing led her on a walk around the lake, and before she knew it, they arrived at a small courtyard by the lakeside.
Yan Jue was stunned. This courtyard, shrouded in moonlight, was enclosed by a bamboo fence, with an exquisite wooden house in the distance.
Nearby, rows of peach trees were neatly arranged.
The elegant fragrance of peach blossoms wafted into her nose, as pure as a dream on ice.
Petals drifted down in the moonlight, blossoming into magnificent pink in the air, extremely beautiful.
Yan Jue had also been to see peach blossoms in the modern era, but no matter where she went, it was always crowded.
To see such a tranquil scene under the bright moon like this was a first.
How strange…
She often came to the Cold Pool, but she had never noticed this courtyard before.
As Yan Jue crossed into the courtyard, she felt a faint spiritual power fluctuation in her body.
This courtyard must have an invisibility formation set up outside, which is why it was not easily visible.
Qi Xianqing: “These are Ice Peach Trees. They bear fruit once every ten years. Calculated using the mortal world’s time, it should be once every thousand years.”
It turned out that the Five Dragon Mountain was a supreme immortal mountain, and the passage of time on the mountain differed greatly from the mortal world.
Just a few days on the Five Dragon Mountain could mean a thousand years had passed on the surface.
Ten years on the Five Dragon Mountain often meant a thousand years had passed in the mortal world.
Qi Xianqing: “The Sect Master asked me to help look after these trees. They should bear fruit next year.”
Yan Jue suddenly understood. No wonder she often saw Qi Xianqing on Qiwu Peak.
It turned out the girl often came here to water the peach trees for the Sect Master, Daoist Muzhong.
A faint floral fragrance permeated the surroundings, refreshing the spirit.
Yan Jue felt a little intoxicated by the scent; her narrow phoenix eyes, amber in color, were clear and bright, and her two fluffy tails swayed back and forth.
They would bear fruit next year…
She wondered if Qi Xianqing would be generous enough to let her have a taste.
Qi Xianqing’s next words crushed her fantasies in the cradle: “These Ice Peaches are nurtured with Nectar. They absorb the spiritual energy of the Cold Pool day and night. Mortals only need to eat two to open their spiritual roots, eat three to clear all their meridians, and ordinary beasts only need one to transform into human form.”
“They are also a delicacy at the Myriad Immortals Assembly.”
Myriad Immortals Assembly?
Yan Jue paused when she heard this.
The Myriad Immortals Assembly, wasn’t that the same as the Queen Mother of the West’s Peach Banquet?
Qi Xianqing explained to her that the Myriad Immortals Assembly was the grand gathering held once every seven years by the six major immortal sects.
The Southern Tower, affiliated with the court, also participated in this assembly, and the court would send representatives. Each sect would showcase their best skills or present rare treasures to the Imperial Family; the scene was very grand.
Yan Jue was stunned.
Days in the cave, a thousand years on the surface.
Although it wasn’t as exaggerated as one day on the mountain being one year on the surface, the gap was still huge.
Once every seven years that would mean thousands of years in the mortal world!
Qi Xianqing: “It’s a pity I was too young when I attended, I don’t remember clearly.”
Qi Xianqing also attended the Assembly of Immortals?
Yan Jue remembered that when she was reading the novel, her attention was all on the melodramatic plot; she hadn’t paid much attention to Qi Xianqing’s childhood.
Yan Jue recalled that Qi Xianqing’s childhood… seemed quite tragic too.
It seemed Qi Xianqing came to the mountain when she was very young and had always stayed with Yun Zhen, the Sect Master of the Blazing Fire Sect, making her the undisputed first disciple of the Blazing Fire Sect.
This was probably why Qi Xianqing was so untainted by the mundane world and held the title of “Fairy Qi.”
Perhaps it was because mortals lived in the dusty world and were bound to get soiled, but Qi Xianqing had been on the mountain since childhood, with everything she ate, wore, and used being things filled with spiritual energy, which is why she was so pure.
In the quiet night, Yan Jue began to stroll in the peach forest.
Qi Xianqing walked slowly behind her, hands clasped behind her back.
One person and one fox, with swaying peach blossoms, the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
As Yan Jue walked, she couldn’t help but sniff around under the big trees.
She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
It was no wonder; she had eaten so much roast meat just now, how could her stomach not hurt.
Yan Jue felt that she still couldn’t completely overcome her fox nature. After spinning around a few times on the spot, all the fur on her body stood on end.
Qi Xianqing saw her appearance and paused: “What’s wrong?”
Yan Jue’s face turned ashen, and her nose wrinkled.
Forget it, the little fox doesn’t understand anything.
She yelped “Woah woah” at Qi Xianqing, hopped over to the back of the farthest peach tree, planning to relieve herself.
Peach blossoms floated down silently. Yan Jue cautiously looked around her back, because a fox is most vulnerable when it’s relieving itself; she wouldn’t even know if some sudden predator appeared and gobbled her up.
After the little fox was done, she started furiously pawing at the dirt with her hind paws.
But there wasn’t much loose soil on the ground, and after digging for a long time, it was still useless.
Qi Xianqing watched her, her heart understood, and she didn’t find it strange.
This little fox seemed exceptionally intelligent.
No, she should say, the Two Tailed Spirit Fox was indeed intelligent.
Qi Xianqing walked over, picked her up, and stroked the fur on her back: “It’s okay, don’t be nervous.”
The little fox lay in her arms like an innocent baby, her amber eyes staring at her, her gaze filled with panic.
Qi Xianqing gently stroked the cowlick on its head, silently comforting it, then took out a handkerchief from her embrace.
Many question marks suddenly appeared in Yan Jue’s mind, then her spine went numb, and her whole body went soft.
Qi Xianqing gently wiped the fur behind its rump, then put it down on the ground.
The little fox, now clean, leaped up about three feet high and ran to hide behind a tree.
Qi Xianqing, holding the handkerchief, walked to the big tree where she had relieved herself, bent down, picked up the pile of poop, and threw it into a discarded basket.
In Yan Jue’s heart now, Qi Xianqing had a new title.
