The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 31.2
“You seem to have gotten a bit bigger again?”
Qi Xianqing gently lifted the fox around her armpits and raised her up, feeling the little fox’s ever-increasing weight, “Whose little fox baby are you? Why do you look different every day? Look how tall you are now!”
Yan Jue had indeed been growing taller these past few months. With the emergence of her first tail, her whole body had grown taller.
If three months ago, she was the size of a Toy Poodle, now she was the size of a six-month-old Golden Retriever.
Qi Xianqing: “Sit.”
Yan Jue slowly sat down.
Qi Xianqing: “Shake hands.”
Yan Jue raised her paw and placed it into the girl’s hand.
The corners of Qi Xianqing’s eyes held tiny glints of amusement, “Spin around.”
Yan Jue wrinkled her nose, whined, and spun several times. A faint meaty aroma seemed to waft around them. Qi Xianqing took two strips of beef tendon treats from a paper bag, mashed them up, and fed them into the little fox’s mouth.
Yan Jue looked at Qi Xianqing, feeling inexplicably down.
She remembered she had to go down the mountain tomorrow. Perhaps being in such close and frequent contact with Qi Xianqing this month had made her realize she was a little… unhappy.
Even though Qi Xianqing was often harsh with her, she was very good to the little fox.
Yan Jue pretended to be an ignorant little fox again, whined, lowered her head, and nudged into Qi Xianqing’s arms, her soft little paws clinging to the girl’s arm.
Qi Xianqing: “What’s wrong? Why are you being so clingy today?”
Yan Jue remained silent, wagging her tail steadily as she sat on Qi Xianqing’s lap.
Qi Xianqing’s eyes curved up, “Are you trying to learn to talk? I feel like you have something to tell me.”
Yan Jue: “…”
Qi Xianqing gently placed the little fox down on the stool opposite her and said seriously, “I also have something to tell you.”
Yan Jue looked up at her.
Qi Xianqing: “I received a mission from my Master. The Jiangnan area needs my help, so I will be gone for a few days.”
Yan Jue was stunned. Qi Xianqing was leaving too?
In the dim light, Yan Jue kept her head down, silently licking Qi Xianqing’s hand.
She didn’t know why, but after turning into a fox, she had intuitively picked up many ways of expression from canines.
Qi Xianqing stroked the little fox’s fur idly, “Today by the cold pond… I saw Junior Sister Yan release the Ghost Fireflies she was raising and drive Chu Fu away.”
As Qi Xianqing spoke, she couldn’t help but recall that day in the forest when she saw Chu Fu tumble embarrassingly into the stream, with a monkey conjured by Yan Jue’s Life Sacrificing Hair sitting on a branch, making funny faces.
Qi Xianqing couldn’t quite understand why Yan Jue would do that, as she seemed to like Chu Fu so much before.
Qi Xianqing propped her chin up, gazing at the peach trees outside the window, and murmured, “Why would she do such a thing to Chu Fu? Is she trying to get Chu Fu’s attention this way…?”
Yan Jue: “?!”
Qi Xianqing’s interpretation was dangerous!
Yan Jue shook her head, jumped onto the table, and slapped the ink stone hard with her big tail.
Qi Xianqing stared at Yan Jue for a moment, “You mean, she doesn’t like Chu Fu at all?”
“Never liked Chu Fu?”
“Liked him before, but not now?”
As Qi Xianqing finished this sentence, the little fox nodded its fluffy head.
Qi Xianqing fell into deep thought.
It seemed her understanding of Yan Jue had always been superficial.
As for deep understanding, she had none at all.
What kind of person was Yan Jue, really?
Dawn was approaching.
Qi Xianqing leaned against the couch and dozed off for a while.
The subtle fragrance of the Icy Peach Tree was conducive to sleep Qi Xianqing always managed to fall asleep successfully when she was here.
Qi Xianqing knew that the little fox baby usually didn’t stay overnight here.
The little fox baby had a collar around its neck, meaning it wasn’t someone’s spirit pet but likely a highly spiritual beast from the Five Dragon Deep Mountains.
Qi Xianqing wouldn’t restrict her; if the little fox wanted to stay here, it could, and if it wanted to leave, it could go.
Qi Xianqing was woken by a faint, rustling sound.
She slightly opened her eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of a fiery red figure on the window sill opposite her.
The little fox with fiery red fur had its black forepaws carefully placed on the window sill, firmly holding something in its mouth.
Then it placed the object on the window sill.
Qi Xianqing got up. The little fox was startled, glanced back at her, and then jumped out the window and ran away.
Qi Xianqing couldn’t help but chuckle; such a clever little fox was still so shy.
On the window sill lay a small, oddly shaped cup, sealed on top with a film.
There were also a few strands of fiery red fox fur on the sill.
Qi Xianqing paused slightly, walked to the window, picked up the cup, and tore off the film.
A sweet tea aroma faintly drifted in the air; the tea was still warm.
As Qi Xianqing smelled it, the aroma was invigorating, carrying a light scent of floral nectar, like top-quality floral tea mixed with honey.
Many animals in the Five Dragon Mountain were spiritual.
Not only could some dress themselves, but some were even keen on cooking.
The Twin Tailed Spirit Fox was inherently a very spiritual creature, so it wasn’t strange for her to find good things to give her.
It was just that Qi Xianqing hadn’t expected that the little fox she often brought along would bring her something like this.
They often walked in the Hundred Flower Valley a while ago; this sweet, flowery tea, could it be…!
