The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 45

Yan Jue stared at the little tail in the mirror and fell silent.

The situation was so familiar.

It seemed like just a few months ago, she had also grown a second tail just like this.

The original owner came from the Fox Clan of the Ghost Manor. Could it be…

Yan Jue wrinkled her nose, a little disbelieving.

She then shook her head, hid her little tail under her belly, and, with a heavy heart, went to the cold pond.

When Yan Jue dragged her two big tails to the Ice Peach Garden, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside the fence.

Da… da… da…

It sounded like someone was drinking water.

“…”

Yan Jue expressionlessly poked her head into the Ice Peach Garden and, as expected, saw the little wild boar with watermelon stripes from that afternoon.

The little wild boar was tiny, lowering its head and drinking milk from a bowl.

Qi Xianqing sat in a bamboo chair under the peach tree, propping her head up to watch it.

Yan Jue: “…”

She was actually watching that pig.

Qi Xianqing was actually watching that pig.

Yan Jue’s fox head instantly burst into flames, and she rushed over with a roar, letting out a great “Woo-ao!”

This sound was earth shattering. The little wild boar’s fur all stood on end, and it abruptly turned around.

Then, the little pig saw the fiery red fox squatting next to Qi Xianqing’s leg, looking at it sinisterly, its ink dot like black ears twitching slightly.

The little pig froze.

It seemed… it seemed that in the fox’s amber eyes, it could see a trace of extremely faint gold.

This little wild boar exuded an aura that the fox was extremely familiar with, just like… just like the big sister who saved it in the forest today!

Acting on the intuition of a demon beast, as soon as the little pig saw those amber eyes, it instantly understood everything.

So the sister who saved her in the forest today was a senior!

The little wild boar grunted, lowered its head, took small steps, retreated to the side, bowed its head, and kept glancing at Yan Jue from the corner of its eye.

Qi Xianqing was startled: “Normally you two can’t stand each other, why today…”

Before she could finish speaking, the little wild boar lay down and exposed its soft belly to Yan Jue.

But its legs were too short, and it was very inflexible lying on its back with its four feet in the air, looking rather clumsy.

Yan Jue glanced up, suddenly leaped into Qi Xianqing’s arms, and let out a “Hmph.”

Qi Xianqing stared at them in surprise. Something in her embrace suddenly vibrated.

Yan Jue felt it too, looked down, and saw Qi Xianqing taking out the wooden token she was holding.

Yan Jue was stunned.

Qi Xianqing’s token was inlaid with a flame shaped jade, with a Qilin shaped dark pattern in the center, and the word “Qi” written in elegant dragon and phoenix script in the very middle.

This was the identity token of a disciple of the Burning Fire Sect.

This was exactly what Yan Jue had been longing for.

With this identity token, one could descend the mountain at any time.

However, Yan Jue belonged to the Water Cloud Sect, and she had seen Du Ming’s Water Cloud Sect disciple token, which was inlaid with black jade.

Identity tokens were very important within a sect. They not only showcased the identity of a disciple certified by the Five Dragon Gate but also served a communication function when necessary.

One only needed to inject their spiritual sense into the token to have a brief exchange with others.

Qi Xianqing quietly stared at the identity token, seeming to sense the information transmitted from it, then patted the little fox’s head: “I’m going out for a moment.”

Qi Xianqing held the little fox by the armpits, put it on the ground, and walked out.

Now, only the little wild boar and Yan Jue were left in the Ice Peach Garden.

The little wild boar looked at Yan Jue and let out a cheerful cry: “Hng hng ji!”

Yan Jue: “…”

This sudden change in attitude from the little wild boar was likely because it saw something.

She hoped it wouldn’t go around spreading rumors.

The little wild boar trotted happily towards the direction of the small wooden house in the Ice Peach Garden.

Yan Jue, afraid it would mess up Qi Xianqing’s things, followed behind it.

The little wild boar ran around Yan Jue: “Hng hng ji!”

Then Yan Jue saw its short pig hooves scratching around under Qi Xianqing’s table, actually digging out a small ball from the pile of clutter.

Yan Jue never dreamed that she would be playing with a ball in a room with a pig.

The little wild boar nudged the ball with its nose, and its watermelon-like small body slammed into the ball, sending it flying.

Yan Jue hadn’t wanted to play initially, but seeing the ball move, she couldn’t help but start running too.

“Jee jee jee”

“Hng hng ji!”

“Woo woo woo ah oh ah!”

When Qi Xianqing returned, she heard the cheerful cries of the small animals coming from the room.

Qi Xianqing stood at the door with her sword on her back, then stared at the room and fell silent.

The cuju (kicking ball) was rolling around under the table, and the room was a mess.

The ink stone on the desk had been knocked to the ground, and thick ink was spilled everywhere.

The fiery red little fox baby stood on a stool, the corners of its mouth slightly upturned, its tail swaying back and forth.

Then both animals heard the sound of footsteps at the door.

Yan Jue turned her head sharply and met Qi Xianqing’s beautiful peach blossom eyes at the doorway.

“…”

The little wild boar froze in place for a moment, then darted out with a grunt.

Yan Jue reacted, her heart clenched violently, and she swiftly jumped off the chair, intending to run too.

Qi Xianqing closed the door with the back of her hand: “Little fox baby, you come with me.”

Then the little fox was picked up by Qi Xianqing.

The little fox whined and struggled, its four paws twisting wildly, looking at Qi Xianqing in terror as she took out a… long, thin whip from a box by the bed.

Qi Xianqing folded the whip in half.

Yan Jue’s entire blood flow instantly began to reverse. She lay on the ground, clutching her head, her two big tails, plus the little tail, tucked tightly between her legs, her ears pressed flat against the back of her head.

“One… two… three.”

Qi Xianqing tapped its backside three times with the whip: “The little pig’s bite isn’t that strong. That mattress was bitten by you, wasn’t it? I just replaced that mattress yesterday, and you ruined it.”

The base of the tail is the most sensitive part for canids. Qi Xianqing’s folded whip didn’t hurt when it landed, but it made Yan Jue’s teeth chatter. Her back skin suddenly contracted, her hind legs kicked out, and the whole fox flattened itself to the floor, crying out “Ying ying ying” with its mouth open.

Qi Xianqing pinched the skin on the back of her neck: “I’m serious, and you’re still acting spoiled?”

Yan Jue glanced sideways and spotted the unsightly mattress over there.

When playing with the little wild boar just now, for some reason, in her excitement, she had bitten the mattress.

This was truly…

Qi Xianqing pressed down on her back, suddenly noticed something, and her arm paused slightly.

Between the little fox’s two tails, a small tail had appeared at some point, clinging tightly to its belly.

Qi Xianqing was stunned. Her fingertips pinched that small tail, and a tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body. Yan Jue felt like she was going crazy, turned her head, and cried out randomly, while her lower body was pressed down and unable to move.

Qi Xianqing paused: “Little fox baby, you are…”

Three tails…

Could it be a Three-Tailed Spirit Fox?

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly. She remembered the little fox had only just grown its second tail a few months ago.

The growth rate of this tail didn’t seem quite right.

Yan Jue cried very pitifully, lying flat on the ground without any strength.

Qi Xianqing quickly let go of her, picked her up by the armpits, and said seriously: “You cannot wreck the house anymore, understood.”

Yan Jue recovered slightly, met Qi Xianqing’s deep peach blossom eyes, and started tilting her head violently again, completely not understanding.

Qi Xianqing had no choice with her, and softly scolded: “Silly little thing.”

A Three Tailed Spirit Fox, fine, a Three Tailed Spirit Fox then.

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly. It couldn’t be a Nine Tailed Fox…

Does Qi Xianqing… really know how to train a dog?

The long whip was folded into a rounded shape, and it didn’t hurt at all when hitting someone.

Also, her tone of voice was such that others couldn’t help but fear her.

Didn’t she know that canids respond to tone?

Yan Jue curled up, was placed on the bed by Qi Xianqing, wagging her three tails, and couldn’t help but have wild thoughts in her heart.

If she were to become a real fox in her next life, she would definitely choose someone like Qi Xianqing to be her master!

Qi Xianqing really liked the little fox baby sleeping in the room with her.

Because every time she slept with the little fox baby, her sleep quality would be very high, and the frequency of nightmares would decrease.

Qi Xianqing rolled onto the bed, hugged the stiff three-tailed fox baby, didn’t say anything, and quickly fell asleep.

Cloud Fall Mountain is a crucial pass from the southwest to the Central Plains.

Several large mountains connect to each other, shrouded in continuous mist, resembling a fairyland.

Due to the extremely thick fog, merchant caravans passing through, if even slightly careless, would be forever lost in the mountains.

Midnight.

Cloud Fall Mountain.

Plain Sun Immortal Abode.

A Daoist with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a purple robe, sat cross legged.

In the dim light, his cheekbones were extremely high, and the area under his eye sockets was pitch black.

The temperature inside the huge cavern was very high, permeated with a strong stench of rot and the bitter smell of medicine.

Below was a massive, pitch-black alchemy furnace.

The furnace body was made of purple-gold, faintly showing engravings of a flood dragon and a dragon-phoenix, with wisps of flame faintly rising from beneath the furnace, casting dense smoke.

The cavern was filled with people.

Small children in worn Daoist robes looked up at the Daoist, their eyes full of reverence and worship.

Then there were slightly older youths, with exaggerated rouge on their cheeks and bright red lips, standing respectfully beside the Daoist.

“Master…”

There were dozens of people in the cave, crowded together, a dense mass.

The Daoist closed his eyes, muttering incantations.

“Heaven and Earth Xuan Zong, Myriad Qi Root Origin, Cultivate through Billions of Eons, Attain My Divine Powers…” (1)

A drop of water fell from the cave ceiling. The Daoist suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot pupils rolling, and he extended a long, slender finger, pointing towards the depths of the cave.

On either side of him, the Daoist boys with painted cheeks moved expressionlessly in the direction the Daoist pointed, and soon dragged out a boy in a worn Daoist robe from the crowd.

The boy stared with terrified eyes and burst into tears with a “Waa!”

“Disciple, don’t be afraid. By helping Master refine the elixir, you can ascend to become an Immortal Child after death,” the Daoist smiled, revealing a set of rotten teeth. He waved his horsetail whisk towards the sky!

The pitch black alchemy furnace opened with a clang, and a huge amount of smoke poured out!

The inside of the furnace was already filled with pitch-black medicinal materials.

One could vaguely see many wriggling small insects among the herbs, their pitch black bodies covered in dense white spots. Sensing the furnace lid open, the worms raised their heads, opened their mouths, and their tiny teeth reflected a cold glint in the dim light.

Viper Worms.

The Daoist boy roughly grabbed the boy by the collar and threw him into the alchemy furnace.

The furnace lid closed again, and the flames burned fiercely once more.

Several children couldn’t help but cry. The Daoist stroked his beard and smiled, saying, “It is your life’s honor to become medicinal material for your Master. Your Master guarantees that you will all become Immortal Children in the future.”

“Body possesses golden light, reflecting upon my form…”

“Invisible to the eye, imperceptible to the ear…” (2)

The alchemy furnace immediately clanged shut. The medicinal materials and the person inside were long gone. What came into view were several blue elixirs… and skeletal remains.

The blue elixirs were covered in bloodshot lines, intertwined with black marks in the center.

It looked like the boy’s blood mixed with the black viper worms.

The Daoist beckoned to the Daoist boy next to him: “Come, come here.”

“Master bestows upon you an Immortal Elixir.”

The Daoist boy was stunned, and his eyes instantly lit up with excitement. He quickly walked over and knelt down, trembling: “Thank you, Master!”

The Daoist handed him the blue elixir. The Daoist boy’s face turned pale, and he swallowed it fiercely. Following this, a trace of red light began to appear on his pale face.

Black bugs drilled out of his eyes.

The Daoist boy whimpered in pain, clenched his fists, and his veins bulged!

The Daoist said: “When Our Demonic Venerable descends to this world, you all shall have glory.”

Because she was about to go down the mountain on a mission with Qi Xianqing, Yan Jue got up early today and sat at the desk, reorganizing the items in her Qiankun Bag.

Her magical artifact was the iron sword commonly used by outer disciples, and the Black Iron of the North Sea around her neck.

Life saving Ruyi, Sleeve Arrows…

Yan Jue briefly inventoried her magical artifacts, then stared blankly at the elixirs in the Qiankun Bag.

The detoxification pills and the Qi Concealment Pills were fine.

Only a box of ointment for repelling mosquito demons remained…

The mosquito demons seemed uninterested in her. Since that time she went to Nanxing Town with Qi Xianqing, she hadn’t encountered any mosquito demons again.

She had basically shelved this box of ointment. She had previously considered giving it to Qi Xianqing, but then got too busy and forgot to bring it.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the room door.

Yan Jue opened the door and saw Duan Luxi standing outside, still holding two newly forged sleeve arrows with runes: “The sleeve arrows you gave me, I’ve finished them.”

Yan Jue took the sleeve arrows and put them into the Qiankun Bag: “Thank you.”

Duan Luxi: “I’ve been so bored recently, Junior Sister Yan. Do you have any new magical artifacts here for me to try out?”

Yan Jue gave a wry smile. She wanted to give magical artifacts to Duan Luxi for refining too, but that required her to have enough materials.

For example, the last time she was in the Artifact Refining Hall, she fused that piece of Thousand Year Ice Crystal with the Black Iron.

Where would she normally get so much Thousand Year Ice Crystal for refining?

Yan Jue suddenly remembered something and took out a box of ointment from her Qiankun Bag: “Senior Sister Duan, this is an ointment for repelling mosquito demons.”

The box lid was opened, and a faint scent of grass and wood emerged. Just by smelling it, one could tell this ointment was high-grade.
