The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 56

Yan Jue walked out of the dense forest with the night’s spoils in hand.

The evening breeze was crisp, and the forest air was refreshing.

Yan Jue looked up at the glittering stars, then raised her hand and sniffed the scent on her body.

Indeed, the demonic aura was strong.

Demons and humans are fundamentally different.

Fortunately, she had the North Sea Dark Iron to protect her otherwise, she truly wouldn’t know what to do with this intense demonic aura.

Yan Jue closed her eyes and silently recited the Spirit Communication Spell. The North Sea Dark Iron drastically contracted, firmly latching onto her skin and absorbing the excessive demonic qi.

Yan Jue felt a clear surge of true qi gradually flow through her body, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Yan Jue strolled leisurely down the main street of Fengxian Town, planning to visit the town market.

As she walked, she suddenly heard a burst of crying not far away.

Yan Jue paused, startled.

The crying was faint and hard to make out clearly.

Following the sound, Yan Jue entered a secluded alley. By the moonlight, she saw a ragged old woman collapsed on the ground by the alley wall, weeping.

The crying was exceptionally tragic, full of resentment and lament.

The old woman seemed to have fallen; her eggs and cabbage were scattered all over the ground, and faint mottled wounds could be seen on her arm.

Yan Jue walked over: “Old one, are you alright?”

The old woman was startled by her voice and turned to look at her.

A young girl stood under the moonlight.

Yan Jue wore a black cross collared printed pleated skirt, a golden collar around her neck, her narrow sleeves were neat, and her back was straight.

She wore a bamboo hat with a veil, her face vaguely obscured, but one could see the skin of her neck, which was as white as snow. A pair of narrow, elongated eyes were slightly raised, looking at her with concern through the veil.

That demeanor was distinctly chivalrous and awe-inspiring, yet one could vaguely discern her extremely delicate features, which made her appear incredibly gentle.

This physique is quite a catch.

The old woman swallowed, concealing the look of wild delight in her eyes, and said miserably, “This old woman went out to get some goods in the middle of the night, but who knew I lost my footing just now, and all the goods spilled…”

Yan Jue was taken aback: “Then what will you do? It’s so late now, there shouldn’t be any sellers outside the city.”

The old woman: “I can only wait for tomorrow, but I can’t stand up with this body… what a failure!”

Yan Jue: “It’s alright, it’s alright, I’ll help you up. Where do you live?”

Sometimes, Yan Jue truly couldn’t stand herself.

She had always been a warm-hearted person. In modern times, she often participated in volunteer activities and certainly couldn’t ignore an elderly person who had fallen on the street.

A hint of joy flashed in the old woman’s eyes: “Thank you, young maiden.”

She stretched out a withered hand. Yan Jue supported her. The old woman held Yan Jue’s hand and slowly stood up.

The two walked toward the alley exit.

The surroundings were deserted, and the night was silent.

Yan Jue helped the old woman walk for a while, and unknowingly, they arrived at a secluded side street.

This was the old woman’s home.

In front of them was a red courtyard gate. Inside, a few small houses with blue tiles could be faintly seen.

The old woman: “My hand has no strength, I can’t lift it…”

Yan Jue: “Is there anyone else in your house? I’ll help you push the door”

Before she could finish, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Yan Jue froze, and then the overwhelming pain in her chest swept over her, almost devouring her.

Yan Jue inwardly cried out not good. This familiar sensation… could it be…

Yan Jue’s vision went black, and her steps instantly became unsteady.

The old woman looked at Yan Jue’s state and was slightly stunned.

Her surprise only lasted for a few breaths before a red light flashed in her eyes.

The old woman’s withered face slowly twisted, her mouth opened, revealing two sharp, shining fangs.

Yan Jue’s vision was briefly blacked out. She slapped her forehead violently.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze unexpectedly met an extremely twisted face.

The old woman, who had just been completely normal, was now staring at her with a highly distorted face, her eyes as red as cinnabar.

The old woman held a thin, long rope in her hand and grinned ferociously.

Just when Yan Jue felt the chest pain, the old woman had already slipped the rope onto her fair, jade-like hand!

Yan Jue reacted, instantly freezing in place, a faint sense of pain radiating from her wrist.

The old woman pulled her hand and pushed the courtyard gate in front of them: “Don’t panic, young maiden. Your physique is so good coming to this old one’s place is a blessing.”

“In a moment, this old one will have a few pimps come to serve you well, until you are completely satisfied, how about that?”

“…”

Yan Jue, though eager to help, was not stupid. She naturally knew what situation she had fallen into. Connecting this with the recent cases of residents vanishing in the middle of the night in Fengxian Town, she could guess what was going on.

The old woman was frail but incredibly strong. Seeing that Yan Jue was not moving, she pulled hard. Yan Jue staggered, about to be dragged through the courtyard gate. With no time to react, she immediately set her stance to stabilize herself and focused her divine sense.

The light breeze lifted her veil, revealing that enchantingly beautiful face. Behind the veil, the girl’s phoenix eyes were narrow and long, and golden light suddenly shone in her amber pupils.

The frame of a Red Fox faintly appeared above her, with golden-yellow pupils and sinister, sharp canine teeth.

“Hiss..” A massive amount of demonic qi surged in the air. The Red Fox bared its teeth, revealing its fierce appearance.

The pressure of the Red Fox bloodline descended.

The old woman’s pupils shrank, and she instantly fell to her knees, uttering a painful groan.

Yan Jue leaped up abruptly, delivering a sharp knee strike straight to the front. The old woman, completely unguarded, passed out backward.

It seemed the bloodline pressure of the original owner was even stronger than expected.

Yan Jue pondered for a moment, immediately using her teeth to sever the rope tied around her wrist. Although the rope was sturdy, it was a mortal rope and quickly snapped into two pieces, falling to the ground.

Freed from her constraints, Yan Jue looked up at the high courtyard gate, lightly tapped her foot on the ground, and instantly flipped over the courtyard wall.

This old woman appeared to be a human trafficker specializing in abducting women late at night.

Whether in modern times or now, Yan Jue deeply resented such actions.

She might even be a demon.

How strange. Her eyes were usually more perceptive than ordinary people, yet she hadn’t noticed anything just now.

Yan Jue took a Qi Concealing Pill, squatted on the high courtyard wall, closed her eyes, and calmed her mind to perceive the surroundings.

Her divine sense silently and swiftly expanded, gradually spreading to every corner of the courtyard.

Amidst the myriad lights of Fengxian Town, the qi emanating from some houses was very dense these were families with many people.

The qi emanating from other houses was sparse, like mountain mist those were families with fewer people.

Yan Jue quickly sensed a cluster of completely non-aggressive white qi in a blue tiled house not far away.

In the darkness, Yan Jue suddenly opened her eyes, surprised.

There are actually no other cultivators in this old woman’s backyard.

But there are ordinary people.

“Senior Sister, it’s… it’s been a while.”

When Chu Fu arrived at the inn, Qi Xianqing was already waiting for him downstairs.

Under the dim light, Qi Xianqing wore a snow-white cross-collared printed long robe, with the dark black longsword “Candle Shadow” strapped to her back. Seeing him enter, she nodded slightly and stood up: “Let’s go out now.”

Although she was a bit reluctant, it was her Martial Uncle’s command, and Qi Xianqing couldn’t very well refuse.

As the proud lead disciple of the Five Dragon Sect, many people cared about her.

Qi Xianqing knew that she was currently in the mid-stage Fusion Realm of the Fourth Stage. If she found a suitable partner for dual cultivation, her progress would be twice as fast with half the effort. That’s why the Sect Master Martial Uncle had been concerned about this matter.

She had briefly heard about the case of the three missing beauties in Fengxian Town before.

She knew that the perpetrator moved eerily, escaped extremely fast, and was completely elusive. The Southern Tower had already dispatched people, but they had yet to solve the case.

This was because after the person captured the three most beautiful women in Fengxian Town, they seemed to have vanished into thin air, as if they had left the city.

However, the city guards said they hadn’t seen any suspicious persons leave the city this month.

Chu Fu hadn’t expected her to be so decisive and hurriedly asked with a flattering smile, “Senior Sister, are we going out tonight? Shouldn’t we rest a bit?”

Qi Xianqing said indifferently, “If Junior Brother Chu is exhausted from travel, you can rest tonight and go tomorrow.”

Chu Fu: “No, I was worried that Senior Sister might be tired.”

“I heard from my master that Senior Sister just completed a mission in Luoyun Mountain.”

Qi Xianqing: “It’s fine.”

After speaking with Chu Fu, Qi Xianqing subconsciously glanced upstairs.

Before entering her room, she had told Yan Jue to go to the market together after her cultivation session. Now that the plan was off, Yan Jue should still be waiting in the room.

Qi Xianqing pursed her lips, walked up the stairs, and knocked on Yan Jue’s door: “Junior Sister, are you there?”

The room inside was silent.

She must be asleep.

Since this was a private room, Qi Xianqing didn’t find it appropriate to use her divine sense to check.

This little brat usually had boundless energy; even if she was sound asleep, she would probably wake up upon hearing a knock.

Qi Xianqing knocked again, but still received no response.

Did she go out alone…

Qi Xianqing stared at the motionless door, a faint sense of displeasure suddenly welling up in her heart.

Wasn’t she waiting for me?

Her cultivation session only took two hours. Was Yan Jue so impatient that she wasn’t even willing to wait for her?

Qi Xianqing felt her mood worsen.

Chu Fu waited for a while, only to see Qi Xianqing quickly descend the stairs with her sword on her back, her expression indifferent, lost in thought.

Chu Fu pressed his tongue against his back molars, feeling a little disappointed.

He heard that Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing were on this mission together. He was initially curious to see what trouble Yan Jue would cause for the Senior Sister this time.

But why didn’t he see that woman, Yan Jue…

Chu Fu held back for a moment, then asked with a smile: “Senior Sister, where did Senior Sister Yan go?”

Qi Xianqing said expressionlessly: “I don’t know.”

Chu Fu was stunned, and a faint joy surged in his heart.

Looking at Qi Xianqing, she seemed a little unhappy.

Is Senior Sister unhappy because I mentioned Yan Jue?

Yan Jue was not a busybody.

Standing on the wall, she roughly scanned the surroundings with her divine sense. Finding no high-level cultivators in the courtyard, but instead sensing ordinary people, Yan Jue connected the old woman with the case of the three missing beauties in Fengxian Town, which she had seen downstairs at the inn.

Yan Jue planned to call the authorities.

Just as she was about to jump off the wall, she suddenly heard voices near the corner of the wall.

“Senior Sister, what is this?”

Yan Jue froze, instantly stiffening in place.

Chu Fu?!

Yan Jue looked down and indeed saw Chu Fu, dressed in a light blue Daoist robe, with fair skin and handsome features, standing not far away with Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing?

Perhaps her earlier strike was too heavy, or the Red Fox’s pressure was too much for an ordinary demon.

The old woman, who had been swept down by her leg, was lying on the ground, her mouth wide open, her tongue hanging out, still unconscious.

Qi Xianqing stood with her arms crossed, staring at the old woman on the ground, deep in thought.

Qi Xianqing performed a quick sweep with her divine sense, then flipped over the wall.

Yan Jue immediately flipped down the wall to hide.

Luckily, I took the Qi Concealing Pill just now. Otherwise, with Qi Xianqing’s terrifying divine sense, she would have been discovered long ago.

No wonder my chest suddenly hurt when I reached the door.

So Chu Fu came here again.

Yan Jue frowned slightly. She wondered what Chu Fu was doing here.

The courtyard was pitch black.

Qi Xianqing and Chu Fu walked slowly.

Qi Xianqing suddenly stopped: “Before entering the inner courtyard, what should be done, Junior Brother Chu?”

She often led junior brothers and sisters. Being a team leader had become a habit, and her speech and actions were naturally very professional.

Chu Fu was also humble: “Naturally, we should stop first and use our divine sense to probe the surroundings.”

Qi Xianqing nodded: “You try first.”

The Qi mechanism that Chu Fu displayed now was only the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Divine sense was a divine ability that only emerged after the Enlightenment Realm. Has Chu Fu mastered it already?

Yan Jue watched silently from behind, taken aback.

Chu Fu reached into his Cosmos Bag and carefully took out an umbrella.

Qi Xianqing slightly raised her eyebrows, appearing somewhat surprised.

Chu Fu smiled, his expression modest and polite: “It’s like this, Senior Sister. Currently, I’m still at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment level and haven’t yet gained the ability to use divine sense to probe the surroundings. I can only use this Azure Nether Umbrella for assistance.”

“If there are high-level cultivators ahead, this umbrella will emit a faint red light. If they are just ordinary people, the umbrella will emit a white light.”

As Chu Fu spoke, he threw the umbrella in his hand.

The tattered paper umbrella floated slowly in the air, drifting towards a blue tiled house not far away, and then stopped above it.

A wave of white light illuminated the top of the umbrella.

There are mortals!

Yan Jue watched silently, sighing that Chu Fu was truly a protagonist from the “Item Flow” school. With the assistance of the Demon Lord from Five Dragon Mountain, his Cosmos Bag was never lacking in items.

Chu Fu retrieved the umbrella and looked obediently at Qi Xianqing, his eyes full of expectation, as if he were an intelligent junior brother awaiting his Senior Sister’s praise.

After all, Senior Sister is willing to take me on a mission late at night, which means I still have some merits. Maybe I’ve unknowingly won Senior Sister’s heart already, who knows.

Thinking this, a faint light shone in Chu Fu’s eyes.

Qi Xianqing stared at the umbrella in his hand for a long time, then said plainly, “You can start practicing divine sense searching at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment. Magic tools are handy but unreliable.”

Hearing this, Chu Fu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe; his entire heart chilled.

Chu Fu lowered his eyes: “Senior Sister is right.”

Yan Jue couldn’t help but inwardly grumble that Qi Xianqing was still as merciless with her words as ever.

She wasn’t interested in watching the male and female leads’ plot and turned to leave.

Yan Jue suddenly heard a voice coming from the room next to her.

“Save me!”

The voice was faint and indistinct.

Yan Jue paused, but the voice shouted only once and then disappeared.

Yan Jue wanted to continue walking but heard a voice from behind her again: “Save me…”

“…”

Yan Jue stopped and quickly confirmed that the voice was coming from the house next door. She walked to the window and looked inside, feeling a chill run down her spine.

This was a room filled with spirit beast pelts.

The room was very rudimentary. By the dim moonlight, Yan Jue saw a horse two people tall, a tiger pelt, and in a fish tank nearby, what seemed to be a fish skeleton preserved with spiritual power.

It was like the horror biology lab often seen in movies.

The closest thing to her was a Red Fox pelt.

Yan Jue’s current nausea was comparable to a pet pig finding pork on its owner’s dinner table.

“Save me…” The faint voice came again.

Yan Jue looked down and found a White Fox in a cage under the bed.

The White Fox had a pair of clear eyes and was looking at her anxiously: “Maiden, save me.”

Yan Jue was slightly startled.

As expected of the White Fox, renowned for its elegance and nobility, every strand of its fur seemed exquisite, and even its eyes were a deep, icy blue.

However, at this moment, it was confined in a narrow cage, unable to straighten its back, giving it the feeling of a tiger being hunted in the plains.

Compared to the Red Fox, the White Fox was truly an elegant creature.

But perhaps because the White Fox was too refined and noble, in the Fox Clan, they could only serve as servants to the Red Fox.

After all, this world is about the survival of the fittest.
