The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 30
Walking through the dense forest, Yan Jue quickly arrived at her dormitory.
Exhausted from the day, Yan Jue’s whole body felt weak. Just as she was about to hurry into her room to sleep,
Suddenly, she saw a person standing on the small bridge in front of the dormitory, and her steps halted abruptly.
Under the moonlight, the youth stood tall and graceful, wearing the standard pale blue Daoist robe of a Shuiyun Sect outer disciple.
The evening breeze lifted the hem of the youth’s robe. His face was as perfect as jade truly possessing the look of an immortal child.
Yan Jue’s current body retained some habits of the original owner, such as the inexplicable palpitation of the heart every time she saw that person.
Chu Fu.
Chu Fu was standing near the dormitory door, seemingly waiting for someone.
Without asking, Yan Jue knew Chu Fu was waiting for her.
Sometimes, Yan Jue truly admired the male lead’s perseverance. To get what he wanted, he truly spared no means. How many days had it been since he last pestered her? He certainly wouldn’t give up.
Yan Jue frowned and walked over.
Chu Fu turned sharply upon hearing footsteps. Seeing who it was, he curved his lips slightly and asked with a smile, “A’Jue, you’re finally back. Where were you so late?”
Yan Jue’s expression remained blank. “Is there something? If not, please leave. You are not welcome here.”
Chu Fu frowned. “You’ve been cold to me for months. Can you tell me clearly, how exactly did I offend you?”
Before he finished speaking, a faint rosy-pink light lit up in his eyes!
Yan Jue was startled. Almost at the instant Chu Fu cast the charm, her gaze became fixed on those beautiful eyes.
That rosy-pink color was faint and indistinct.
But the keen senses of a fox demon allowed her to detect it.
For a moment, Yan Jue felt as if she was about to be sucked into Chu Fu’s handsome eyes.
A word flashed through Yan Jue’s mind: Charm Magic (Mei Shu).
No, why would a grown man like Chu Fu know Charm Magic?
Yan Jue took a deep breath and maintained her composure. “I have told you many times, there is nothing between us anymore! I don’t have any other feelings for you either. Please stop coming to find me from now on, can you?”
Chu Fu stared at her, his voice trembling uncontrollably, “Then everything you did for me before, was it all a lie?! Do you not know how much I have given for you!”
That ambiguous rosy-pink light flickered on and off in Chu Fu’s eyes, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, forming vortex after vortex.
Yan Jue looked at him coldly, “I don’t know.”
Chu Fu gritted his teeth while staring at Yan Jue, and at the same time, he stared into Yan Jue’s eyes, desperately exerting all the Charm Magic he possessed.
Yan Jue slightly raised her beautiful phoenix eyes.
Chu Fu suddenly discovered a tiny bit of rosy pink glow, exactly like his own, in her crystalline amber eyes!
Chu Fu was suddenly stunned, staring intently at Yan Jue’s eyes.
The rosy-pink glow in Yan Jue’s eyes was extremely pure.
It seemed infinitely purer than his, like peach blossoms quietly blooming in a peach forest in spring.
In an instant, Chu Fu felt the world spinning around him, as if he had been struck hard in the face, almost fainting!
He loves Yan Jue… He has never liked the girl before him this much. He only wants to…
All sorts of chaotic, opposite thoughts swept through him like a storm, and Chu Fu was nearly driven to unconsciousness!
Yan Jue was momentarily stunned, then left without looking back, leaving Chu Fu standing in the silent night.
“…”
Yan Jue returned to her room, feeling nauseous.
Seeing Chu Fu just now reminded her of the potential outcome she might face in the future, which greatly annoyed Yan Jue.
Whenever she transformed into a small fox and saw Qi Xianqing, she was completely immersed in a gentle paradise. Then, transforming back into human form, the harshness of reality immediately followed.
Sigh, so annoying.
Is there any way to make Chu Fu stop coming to find her?
Yan Jue knew that the biggest difference between a demon cultivator (Yaoxiu) and a human cultivator (Xiuzhe) was that demon cultivators, in addition to various divine abilities, possessed a life saving skill: Sorcery (Yaofa).
Having transmigrated into the original owner’s body, Yan Jue had naturally inherited the original owner’s Sorcery.
Charm Magic (Mei Shu) was a type of fox demon sorcery, something fox demons were born with. Although Yan Jue was not very accustomed to it, due to the original owner, she was somewhat familiar with the basics of Charm Magic.
When Yan Jue saw the faint rosy pink light in Chu Fu’s eyes just now, she subconsciously used the same Charm Magic as Chu Fu. Although she knew that demons would leak their demonic energy when casting spells, she had a Demon Locking Collar around her neck for protection, so she wasn’t afraid.
From what Yan Jue saw of Chu Fu outside, she knew the other party had likely suffered a backlash. This might be what they called, trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.
But Yan Jue never expected Chu Fu to be so disgusting just to obtain something from her!
The room door was suddenly knocked.
Yan Jue impatiently pulled open the door and saw Du Ming standing outside. “Yan Jue, Junior Brother Chu has been waiting for you outside for a long time.”
“Aren’t you going to let him in?”
Du Ming was also a member of the Kongqing Mansion. The brush pen she held was quite formidable. Normally, if Junior Brother Chu had waited outside Yan Jue’s dorm for several hours, she would have already written the draft, ready to publish it in the Five Dragons Gazette the next morning. But now that Yan Jue was Du Ming’s friend, she naturally couldn’t do such a thing.
Although just now, outside, she didn’t know why she felt a slight attraction to Junior Brother Chu, after returning to her room and bathing, she gradually sobered up. The more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong, so she ran over to notify Yan Jue.
Yan Jue replied, “How could I possibly let him in?”
Du Ming said, “Uh… why do I feel like this Junior Brother Chu has a bit of a thick skin? Even after all that, he’s still…”
“Do you need me to speak to him for you?”
Yan Jue looked at Du Ming, suddenly recalling the strange rosy pink light she vaguely saw in Chu Fu’s eyes earlier. She shook her head, “It’s fine, I have my own way.”
After Du Ming left, Yan Jue brought water to wash her hands.
After thoroughly washing her hands, Yan Jue took out a “Life Reaping Whisker” from her Qiankun Bag, spread it on her palm, and gently blew it towards the window.
The Life Reaping Whisker drifted away and transformed into the appearance of a girl. Yan Jue nodded, satisfied as she admired the substitute created by her divine sense. The girl was slender and delicate, closely resembling her. However, her face was hazy and indistinct. Despite the flaw, it was more than enough to fool Chu Fu.
Yan Jue sank her divine sense, and the substitute slowly walked out.
Yan Jue had read the original novel, so she naturally knew the past history between the original owner and Chu Fu. The original owner was a pampered little fox demon from the Ghost Manor Mountain, doted on by her fox demon parents. Once, she secretly went down the mountain to play and was caught by a hunter in the city, who locked her in an iron cage.
Coincidentally, Chu Fu was in the city beneath Ghost Manor Mountain at that time. Chu Fu was still a kind boy then. Seeing the little fox squealing miserably in the cage, he couldn’t bear it and used all his savings to rescue the fox. From then on, the original owner vowed to repay Chu Fu’s kindness. The young girl’s love deepened.
The karmic entanglement between the original owner and Chu Fu was, in essence, a very classic fox demon repaying kindness trope.
Yan Jue stared at the pitch-black night sky, her expression grim. Originally, this was supposed to be a fairytale-like match made in heaven, but Chu Fu had turned it into this mess. Since Chu Fu repeatedly tried to trick her out of her Yin Essence, she shouldn’t be blamed for showing no mercy.
Chu Fu was standing miserably on the small bridge outside the dormitory, waiting. For some reason, ever since the confrontation with Yan Jue, his head felt groggy, and his thoughts were unclear. He only wanted to wait here for Yan Jue to come out.
The Shuiyun Sect was situated at a high elevation, and the temperature dropped especially cold after nightfall. It was already night, and the cold wind blew against Chu Fu in gusts, penetrating everywhere, making him shiver uncontrollably.
His Charm Magic couldn’t possibly have no effect on Yan Jue. Chu Fu reasoned that Yan Jue’s coldness must be an act. He knew Yan Jue was soft-hearted. When Yan Jue saw him standing in the cold wind for so long, she would surely let him in. Then, he could use his Charm Magic… she would definitely have no chance to escape. Chu Fu had always been persistent; he would never give up an opportunity once it was within reach.
As Chu Fu was lost in chaotic thoughts, he suddenly saw a person slowly emerge from the darkness over there!
The girl wore a lotus green Qijin Ruqun (a type of traditional dress), with snow white skin contrasting the red bodice underneath, looking incredibly alluring. She stood under a large tree over there, glanced timidly in his direction, and seemed to smile provocatively.
Chu Fu was stunned, his eyes fixed on her. Who was that girl if not Yan Jue! But, but Yan Jue had never shown such a seductive side to him!
Chu Fu looked at the person before him, his spirit swayed and his emotions surged. He quickly took a step forward: “A’Jue, what’s wrong? It’s so windy this late at night, you’re wearing so little…”
Yan Jue remained silent, merely giving him a shy smile before gracefully walking towards the forest. Chu Fu panicked and rushed to follow her. Perhaps because Yan Jue walked too fast, her face was always blurry and indistinct. Chu Fu followed closely behind her, trying hard to get a clear look at her delicate, alluring face, and wanting to cast his Charm Magic quickly. He tripped over dry branches several times but didn’t notice.
The cold night wind was fierce, chilling his face blue, but he was completely oblivious.
Yan Jue ran off, giggling. Chu Fu chased after her in ecstatic joy.
The two soon arrived deep inside the forest. The surrounding light became very dim, and the low chirping of insects could be heard from the distant grass.
Chu Fu watched as Yan Jue, while running, suddenly stopped under a large tree over there!
Chu Fu asked, “A’Jue, why did you bring me here?”
Suddenly, Chu Fu abruptly cut off his words. Beside Yan Jue over there, dots of faint light suddenly lit up! A spot of sapphire-blue light ignited, gradually gathering into a vast, shimmering sea! It was fireflies!
Indeed, this woman still has the leisure to… be romantic with him! Chu Fu’s lips curled into a smile. He opened his arms, looking at the sky full of dancing fireflies, and laughed, “Oh, right, I remember there are always a lot of fireflies in the forest of Wulong Mountain every night. Are you perhaps trying to bring me here to watch fireflies?”
Before Chu Fu could finish speaking, he suddenly blinked hard. Yan Jue over there had suddenly disappeared!
The surroundings fell into silence. Chu Fu instantly became alert: “A’Jue? A’Jue?”
Impossible… I just saw Yan Jue here.
The woman had always been timid; Chu Fu didn’t believe she had the courage to run into the forest alone.
Chu Fu took a few steps forward, his feet suddenly slipped, and before he could cry out, he fell into the icy cold river.
“Plop!!!”
In the silent night, the sound of the young man falling into the water was extremely jarring.
The cold night wind gusted intermittently. Chu Fu was completely soaked in the river, instantly feeling his limbs ice-cold, the chill piercing his bones, and his whole body began to shiver uncontrollably!
And the girl who was just there had vanished into thin air.
Chu Fu’s pupils suddenly constricted.
The romantic fireflies above his head instantly turned into a faint, eerie green light!
It looked just like… will-o’-the-wisps!
Those bizarre will-o’-the-wisps, glowing green, moved slowly, one after another. Chu Fu’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he instinctively moved his body. In the darkness, it seemed something was biting him!
His skin felt a tingling sensation, like being electrocuted!
Those will-o’-the-wisps could bite too!
In an instant, the blood in Chu Fu’s veins turned cold from his head to his feet!
Before coming up the mountain, he had heard his mother say.
