The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 60.1

Qi Xianqing wasn’t sure if she acquired another spirit beast whether the others would bully her Little Fox Baby.

And besides… she really liked her Little Fox Baby.

She didn’t want any other spirit beasts anymore.

Of course, Qi Xianqing only thought it for a moment before dismissing the notion herself.

She didn’t know why maybe because the little fox seemed too human but she always felt they were friends.

And spirit beasts needed to form master-servant contracts. If she did that… the little fox would definitely be unhappy.

The little fox left.

Yan Jue had recuperated for more than half a month at Qi Xianqing’s place, and her body had fully recovered. Her red fur had grown back fluffy like flames delicate and stunning.

Yan Jue felt that if she stayed with Qi Xianqing any longer, she would eventually slip up.

She actually hadn’t thought so at first.

Not until the day she woke up on the bed and discovered that she had recovered her human form and was lying completely naked in Qi Xianqing’s bed…

Thankfully, Qi Xianqing had gone out that day. Otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.

And she had originally informed Du Ming that she was going into seclusion at Water cloud Sect.

She wasn’t some mighty eighth realm cultivator if she claimed seclusion for half a month, she would inevitably be exposed.

So it was better to leave early.

There was also another thing that hurried her departure:

She’d destroyed the house again…

She had knocked over the waste basket Qi Xianqing used for trash, and even the storage box under the table had a huge chunk chewed out of it.

Who told Qi Xianqing to store food in there?
A little fox didn’t understand anything.

Qi Xianqing would definitely get mad again if she saw it.

So Yan Jue fled while Qi Xianqing was out practicing her sword quite literally running for her life.

This experience taught Yan Jue a simple truth:
Even little demons had their tribulations.

But the harsher the heavenly tribulation, the faster her cultivation progressed.

A blessing in disguise.

Yan Jue was never someone who stayed depressed for long.

If running away from the mountain wasn’t feasible, then she needed a new plan.

After the massive storm that struck Five Dragon Mountain that day, the weather had been fine ever since.

In the afternoon, Yan Jue sat on the desk in her room, watching bamboo shadows slant outside the window, her brows lightly furrowed. She held a brush in her hand and slowly wrote on paper.

Her first problem:

Would the male lead absorb her Yin essence?

If this plot was destined and unchangeable, then the male lead had to use her Yin essence to grow stronger only then could he win Qi Xianqing’s favor.

Yan Jue faintly had an idea.

If nothing could change the plot… could she take a roundabout approach?

For example, with the Five Dragon Summit approaching if the male lead grew stronger because he believed he absorbed her Yin essence… what if she simply helped him grow stronger, letting him think he had taken it?

A different method, but still using her to elevate his cultivation.

She had looted plenty of immortal herbs and medicines from the Suyang Immortal Mansion.

This could work.

Though she found it a bit wasteful to use those treasures to support the male lead’s cultivation…

But since she had already obtained the identity token, she could leave the mountain anytime she wanted.

She could simply visit the Myriad Demon Pavilion again in a few days.

The courtyard was deep and serene.

Wearing white robes and carrying her black sword, Qi Xianqing arrived at Fairy Yunzhen’s residence.

Fairy Yunzhen was standing in the courtyard, gently stroking the fur of a nine-colored deer as she murmured softly to it.

As expected of an eighth realm powerhouse a Divided Spirit cultivator she preserved her beauty perfectly; the older she grew, the more exquisite she became.

Long brows, phoenix eyes, a red cinnabar dot between the brows, and a flowing lavender celestial gown she was like a deity descended.

The nine colored deer was an ancient divine beast. In the sunlight, its snowy fur gleamed, the pink markings on its forehead glimmered faintly, and its antlers curled inward like branches. Just standing there, it looked like something out of a painting.

Perhaps because of its mood today, its eyes were a beautiful shade of pale blue.

When Yunzhen saw Qi Xianqing return, she casually asked,
“Xianqing, was your trip down the mountain smooth?”

Qi Xianqing knelt before her and bowed respectfully.
“Replying to Master, this disciple’s journey was smooth.”

Yunzhen said, “Your cultivation is already mid-Fusion Realm. Not bad at all.”

Qi Xianqing replied, “Thank you for the praise, Master.”

“Many disciples in Five Dragon Gate remain stuck at the peak of Enlightenment Realm, unable to break through. You’re miles ahead of them. If no one reaches the Fusion Realm before the Summit, the champion will likely be ours again Zhenhuo Sect! Hahahahahaha!”

Qi Xianqing: “…”

This was the usual dynamic between her and her master.

Fairy Yunzhen did most of the talking, Qi Xianqing simply listened.

Yunzhen asked,
“I’m rather curious about that little junior sister who went down the mountain with you.”

“With so many people in the sect, why did you choose her?”

Qi Xianqing: “…”

Yunzhen: “Was she useful?”

Qi Xianqing carefully replied,
“During the unified outer sect class, I held a sparring match to select someone to accompany me. She performed well among the group, so I brought her.”

Yunzhen murmured,
“Even so, anyone who catches your eye can’t be just some simple brute.”

After all, Qi Xianqing had been on missions nonstop since the Enlightenment Realm.

Aside from leading teams, she almost never brought anyone along.

Anyone she didn’t dislike either had to be exceptionally sharp or possess some extraordinary talent.

Qi Xianqing said,
“Master, this disciple has another request.”

“Oh?” Yunzhen asked.

“The outer sect disciple who accompanied me is Yan Jue from Water cloud Sect. Though she’s in the outer sect, she has always wished to learn martial arts but lacked resources.”

“And?”

“I hope to request permission to personally instruct her in immortal techniques.”

The Five Dragon outer sect was always a complicated mess.

Aside from candidate disciples temporarily put there for experience, the outer sect was full of wealthy young masters who bought their way in hoping to learn a bit of immortality arts, privileged heirs who entered through connections, and even mortals without spirit roots who just wanted to freeload as laborers.

There was no helping it Five Dragon Gate was not what it once was.

According to the recent evaluation by Star cloud Manor, the sect had fallen to fourth place among the Six Great Immortal Sects.

Not a good sign.

Beyond the six major sects, there were countless others.

Every year, someone tried to knock Five Dragon Gate out of the top six.

Because the sect lacked funds in certain areas, they lowered the standards for outer sect admission, allowing all sorts of problematic people in.

Compared to inner-sect disciples, the outer sect was severely lacking.

The biggest flaw:
No teachers.

Five Dragon Gate had many powerful figures, but none wanted to waste time on the outer sect.

Only inner-sect disciples could teach outer-sect students but no matter how skilled they were, they were still only disciples, far from a master’s level.

The gap between being taught by a fourth-realm cultivator and an eighth-realm cultivator was enormous.

Yunzhen was a little surprised it was rare to see Qi Xianqing take the initiative like this.

“Very well. Just register it.” Yunzhen stroked the deer’s snowy fur. “But since you want to teach her, why not directly recommend her to the inner sect?”

Qi Xianqing recalled what Yan Jue had said and answered,
“She has a mischievous nature. She said the inner sect was too tiring and didn’t want to join.”

“…It’s rare for a disciple to refuse entry to the inner sect.” Yunzhen’s eyes sparkled with interest. “This master quite enjoys teaching mischievous disciples… hahahahaha!”

Qi Xianqing’s brow twitched.

After a pause, she said again,
“Master, one more question.”

Yunzhen smiled indulgently.
“Go ahead.”

“Last time, I borrowed your Black Python Whip, but I discovered…”

“You couldn’t bring yourself to use it, could you?” Yunzhen teased.

Qi Xianqing stayed silent an admission.

Previously, because the little fox had destroyed her home, she had borrowed the whip.

But due to various circumstances, she never used it.

Yet when she returned to Ice Peach Abode a few days ago, she found everything chewed to pieces.

And the fox was already gone.

Qi Xianqing stared at the mess for a long time before deciding to ask her master.

Yunzhen said,
“That’s normal. I often can’t bring myself to punish Jiu, either. But a spirit beast that destroys the house still needs discipline. If a spirit beast lacks manners, it’s you who loses face outside.”

Qi Xianqing asked,
“Master, how do you resolve this?”

Yunzhen raised her hand, and a black trunk opened with a snap.

A perfectly round object landed in her palm.

She tossed it to Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing looked and froze.

It was… a muzzle.

Yunzhen said,
“No matter how naughty a little spirit beast is, once the muzzle is on, it’ll behave. Jiu’s temper is violent, so whenever I take him out to play, I always make him wear one.”
