The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 27

That night, the wind howled under the dark sky.

Chu Fu, holding a small box containing food, gently exerted force in his arm and slid down the cliff using a vine.

He possessed excellent aptitude, being an exceedingly rare variant wind spirit root in the sect.

He was currently an outer sect preparatory disciple, needing only a few years of experience to enter the inner sect.

But at this moment, his handsome face was clouded with gloom.

Chu Fu entered the cave, frowning slightly at the faint scent of blood that permeated the air.

The cave was completely dark, narrow at first, and only after about seven steps did it gradually widen.

The sound of water could be faintly heard from the surroundings.

Chu Fu walked a little further.

At the end of the cave, there was actually a waterfall of no small scale.

Water poured down from the top of the cave wall, making a rushing sound.

A vague human figure could be vaguely seen behind the curtain of water.

Chu Fu opened the food box, and two snow white rabbits hopped out!

The rabbits, upon landing, ran around in panic.

In an instant, a huge suction force suddenly erupted from behind the water curtain!

The two rabbits let out terrified cries, and before Chu Fu could see clearly, they were sucked into the powerful suction!

“Kaka… kaka… kaka…”

The smell of blood in the cave intensified slightly.

A hoarse voice, like metal grinding, sounded afterward, rising and falling, seeming very weak: “Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your help over this past month. Otherwise, with this wounded and crippled body, this Venerable One would have likely perished within three days.”

Chu Fu forced a smile: “It was my intrusion into the cave that was impolite. Since I knew the Demon Venerable was recuperating here, I could not ignore it.”

“It was just a small effort.”

The person behind the water curtain fell silent for a moment, and the metallic voice spoke again: “You are indeed a kind child. I haven’t felt this way in a long time. A thousand years ago, before I fell to the demonic path, I was also a chivalrous youth just like you.”

Chu Fu: “Haha.”

He forced another smile. Only then did the person behind the water curtain notice his oddity.

“What’s wrong? Why are you smiling with such effort after coming down the mountain? Did you encounter something upsetting?”

Chu Fu licked his lips and said softly, “To tell the truth, Venerable One, I encountered some trouble on this trip down the mountain.”

“Hmm?”

In the deep quiet of the night, only the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Chu Fu sat down on a rock and recounted what had happened on his trip down the mountain.

The person behind the water curtain listened and then burst into loud laughter: “After all that, you were looked down upon by the woman you love? Is it because the magic tool I gave you wasn’t powerful enough?”

Chu Fu: “Originally… originally it was powerful, but…”

“But, because that woman kept standing by and making sarcastic remarks, mocking the Demon Venerable’s divine artifact as trash that was fit for nothing, even Senior Sister started to look down on me a little…”

“Clang”

A harsh impact sound echoed from behind the water curtain, followed by the two intact rabbit skeletons being violently flung out: “How audacious! Who dares to mock this Venerable One’s Yellow grade High rank magic tool?”

Chu Fu: “It was that woman who possesses the Pure Yin Body!”

“Hmm? It’s her…”

Chu Fu: “Following the Demon Venerable’s suggestion, I kept luring that Pure Yin Body to have intimacy with me. She clearly loved me to the bone; taking her Yin Essence should have been as easy as taking something from my pocket.”

“But I don’t know why, but starting two months ago, her attitude towards me changed drastically. I suspect she might have discovered something…”

The Demon Venerable pondered: “On this trip down the mountain, you embarrassed yourself in front of your beloved and suffered a major setback.”

Chu Fu thought of Yan Jue’s appearance, and an inexpressible disgust welled up in his heart.

He knew that the Soul Severing Mountain Demon Venerable behind the water curtain was no good person either.

The only reason he endured the nausea to bring food and drink to this heavily injured Demon Venerable was because the Demon Venerable considered him a savior and had even taught him magic tools and techniques. He didn’t want to miss out on such a great opportunity.

Furthermore, with Yan Jue being such a huge variable now, he absolutely had to endure the disgust in his heart and seek guidance from this master.

The Demon Venerable mused: “She is indeed trouble.”

“The Five Dragons Peak Assembly is approaching. I hear many new generation young disciples will participate in this event at the Five Dragons Mountain… cough… cough…”

He coughed violently halfway through his sentence, then continued: “I heard the reward given by the Five Dragons Sect Leader, Mu Zhong, this time is the immortal sword ‘Flowing Ice’.”

Chu Fu listened silently, his pupils contracting sharply.

Flowing Ice was one of the foremost immortal swords in the world.

Heaven grade Excellent quality, incredibly precious.

As a Heaven-grade immortal sword, Flowing Ice was one of the few artifacts in this world that possessed a Sword Spirit.

More importantly, the Immortal Sword Flowing Ice and Qi Xianqing’s Immortal Sword Candle Shadow were a male and female pair!

This meant that whoever won Flowing Ice at the Five Dragons Peak Assembly next year would gain the qualification to be paired with Qi Xianqing, becoming an immortal couple!

He hadn’t expected that the triennial Five Dragons Peak Assembly would use the Immortal Sword ‘Flowing Ice’ as the stake this time.

The Demon Venerable: “There are many experts at the Five Dragons Peak Assembly. You must hurry and obtain that maiden’s Yin Essence as soon as possible to have a chance at winning that Immortal Sword Flowing Ice.”

“Since that maiden’s attitude towards you has plummeted, it means she might have discovered something. I will teach you these few charming techniques to take her down soon.”

Chu Fu was stunned and frowned, a hint of anger in his voice: “But charming techniques are supposed to be exclusive to women. Does the Venerable One think I should also…”

The Demon Venerable laughed: “Young Master, that’s wrong. Charming techniques are not only for women; men can learn them too. A man’s charming technique, with its softness, carries an inherent masculine vigor, and it is even superior to a woman’s charming technique!”

“The Five Dragons Peak Assembly is approaching. Humble yourself a little and use enchantment techniques on her. If you obtain her Yin Essence, she will be a helpless piece of flesh. At that time, whether you want to violate her or turn her body into the world’s most exquisite puppet, it is not out of the question.”

“The Five Dragons Peak Assembly is approaching, you must obtain her Yin Essence!”

Yan Jue returned from the Cold Pond. As usual, she had to pass through a small forest to get back to her dormitory.

It was already late, and she had an appointment with Qi Xianqing tomorrow.

Yan Jue hurried along, suddenly noticing something, and stopped in her tracks.

In the grass ahead, she noticed tiny, faint green lights flickering, she didn’t know when they appeared.

Yan Jue was startled.

Those specks of green light flickered in the air, bringing a chill wherever they went, emitting a faint Yin energy.

They looked just like… will-o’-the-wisps!

Yan Jue wrinkled her nose, then suddenly saw the pile of eerie green lights surge towards her!

A few specks of green light stuck to her, causing a tingling and numbing sensation, like an electric shock.

Instantly, an ice-blue barrier appeared around Yan Jue, with cold air faintly rising from all sides. Countless will-o’-the-wisps crashed onto the top of Yan Jue’s protective shield, making a sizzling sound as they were instantly frozen.

Yan Jue’s tail lashed out fiercely, slapping several will-o’-the-wisps onto large trees.

Yan Jue started running on all fours. She didn’t know how far she ran before she finally shook off the strange green lights behind her.

After returning to her dormitory and transforming back into human form, Yan Jue was panting heavily.

How strange…

That forest leading to Qiwu Peak, she had walked through it countless times before.

She had never seen those strange will-o’-the-wisps before.

“…”

Yan Jue, holding a basin, pulled open the door to fetch water.

She ran into her neighbor, Du Ming, who was walking towards her.

Du Ming: “Junior Sister Yan, long time no see!”

Yan Jue also responded with a smile. While scooping water from the well, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “Senior Sister, are you from the Azure Sky Mansion too?”

Du Ming was stunned for a moment: “Yes, why?”

Yan Jue: “That news item in the newspaper that day… did you write it?”

That day, when Yan Jue was reading the Records of the Five Dragons and One Hundred Things, she came across that gossip about Qi Xianqing and Chu Fu.

That piece of gossip had omitted her name entirely.

Yan Jue thought about it and concluded that someone from the Azure Sky Mansion wouldn’t be that kind; it was most likely Du Ming.

Du Ming smiled sheepishly: “Just a small favor, a small favor.”

“How was your mission down the mountain this time?”

Yan Jue smiled: “Thank you, it went well.”

The two collected their water separately and returned to their respective rooms.

On the way back, Yan Jue couldn’t help but ask: “Senior Sister Du, I saw something in the forest just now that looked very much like will-o’-the-wisps. Are those a type of creature?”

Yan Jue had passed through that forest more than once and knew clearly there were no tombs or anything similar there. These will-o’-the-wisps must have appeared recently.

Du Ming: “You mean the Ghost Fireflies? It’s very normal; autumn is coming soon.”

“After decaying grass dies, it turns into fireflies. They are actually the spirits of grass and wood. You can also think of them as fireflies.”

“They… are they perhaps classified as ghost entities?”

Yan Jue: “But when they touched me, I felt a sensation like an electric shock.”

Du Ming: “Ghost Fireflies are lightning attributed ghost entities, so it’s natural to feel an electric shock. It’s just that they have little lethality and a short lifespan; you won’t see them after autumn. Naturally, the sect doesn’t bother with them.”

Back in her dormitory, Yan Jue felt that the words “Ghost Firefly” seemed familiar.
