The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 60

For the past half month, Yan Jue had been living in Qi Xianqing’s Ice Peach Abode.

Qi Xianqing often sat at the table reading, or meditated at the bedside. Occasionally she went to the backyard to practice her sword, and afterward she would come back to change Yan Jue’s medicine.

In any case, she never left Yan Jue for more than an hour.

The important thing was Yan Jue discovered that the Five Dragon Summit was drawing near.

Everyone was extremely busy, yet Qi Xianqing had barely trained at all.

Qi Xianqing was just like one of those top students who hardly studied yet still aced every exam.

Her injury had taken quite a long time to heal, but fortunately, before facing the lightning tribulation, Yan Jue had told Du Ming that she was going into seclusion. That prevented her identity from being exposed.

Right now, she truly didn’t have the strength to revert to human form.

Afternoon.

The sunlight was warm and bright.

Yan Jue lay on her side on the bed, watching Qi Xianqing bring in a bamboo basket from outside.

Qi Xianqing knelt in front of her, opened the basket, and took out a few fruits.

One plump Pei-ling Fruit after another had ripened. Under the sunlight, they glowed with a tempting deep violet hue, as if they exuded a faint scent of grass and oranges.

Pei-ling Fruits could stabilize cultivation perfect for cultivators who had just broken through a realm and they also possessed healing effects.

Perfect for a little fox.

The moment the little fox saw the fruit in Qi Xianqing’s hands, she immediately whimpered miserably, her whole body going limp as if she were in terrible pain.

Seeing her like this, Qi Xianqing couldn’t help but laugh. She cut the fruit into small pieces and stuffed one into the little fox’s mouth.

The little fox barked again, clearly wanting more. Qi Xianqing peeled the rest of the fruit slowly and placed every piece into her mouth.

Although she had been struck by heavenly lightning punished by the Dao itself.

Lying in bed under the bright sunshine after the rain, eating Pei-ling Fruit… was simply heavenly happiness.

Yan Jue was happily munching when someone suddenly pressed a hand onto her chest.

Her entire body stiffened. She felt those soft hands slide slowly down along her fur, sending shivers running through her. The fingers gently kneaded the fur at her chest.

It was embarrassing, yet undeniably comfortable. The little fox curled tightly into a ball. Qi Xianqing flipped her over and continued massaging her meticulously, fingertips gliding along her body bit by bit.

Over the past half month, Qi Xianqing had done this often.

Because her injuries were severe and she couldn’t get out of bed, her muscles could easily atrophy without massage.

The little fox had kicked her legs reflexively who knows how many times.

Timidly opening her eyes, she saw Qi Xianqing’s soft gaze and careful movements starting from the sparsely furred chest, then the fox’s softest belly.

Yan Jue melted into a puddle, her narrow phoenix eyes half-closed. She felt the girl’s hand move lower…

No. She wouldn’t let her touch there.

Yan Jue rolled over in one swift motion, sat up, and bared her teeth fiercely at Qi Xianqing.

But Qi Xianqing didn’t seem to notice the little fox’s displeasure at all. She simply lifted the fox under her armpits and placed her on the ground.
“Come on, try walking.”

In this half month, Qi Xianqing had cared for her meticulously.

The little fox had mostly recovered. The fur burned off by lightning had grown back.

The once-babyish pale undertone of her vibrant red fur was gone. Now it was boldly beautiful like clouds glowing with sunset fire. Her two dark ears were like ink bleeding into paper, and her belly fur was snow-white.

After the heavenly tribulation, Yan Jue had grown another tail.

Four long, fluffy tails trailed behind her like drifting clouds she resembled a divine beast straight out of a storybook.

The little fox still couldn’t stand steadily; one hind leg was still weak.

She hopped a few steps, then sat and looked up at Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing’s eyes curved gently. She rubbed the fox’s fluffy head.
“Not bad. You’re recovering well.”

Yan Jue drank a little milk, her four tails swishing.

Ever since the lightning tribulation, her body had felt much lighter. Something seemed to be burning slowly in her dantian so full it felt like it might overflow.

Yan Jue knew very well: though the tribulation was punishment on the surface, this level of heavenly lightning was actually helping her break through from the peak of the Enlightenment Realm to the Fusion Realm.

Her qi sea felt aflame, spiritual power surging wildly throughout her body.

This was the sign of stepping into the fourth realm the early Fusion stage.

In demon-beast terms, this was called Bone Refining.

Demon beasts formed their core earlier than humans.

After Bone Refining came the fifth realm the Demon Core stage.

Which meant she could soon begin preparations to form her demon core.

Thinking of this filled Yan Jue with satisfaction.

Truly when one door closes, another opens.

“Honored One, the enchantment art you taught me last time… it had no effect on her at all!”

Inside a dark cave, the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Chu Fu set down the basket of food and spoke toward the person behind the water curtain.

In the dim light, the boy’s expression was unpleasant.

During this ghost hunt in Fengxian Town, he had wanted to show off before Qi Xianqing but that woman stole his spotlight again.

Chu Fu was confused.

Yan Jue used to love him desperately.

But at some point, Yan Jue had become the biggest obstacle preventing him from approaching Qi Xianqing.

And it wasn’t because she loved him.
It was as though… she liked Qi Xianqing too!

“Your enchantment art failed…” The voice behind the water curtain murmured. “The Five Dragon Summit is approaching. With your mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, you have absolutely no chance of winning.”

Chu Fu replied, “Please, Honored One, I beg you to help me.”

He paused, licking his lips.
“When I first joined the mountain, the spirit-root test showed I possessed a Heavenly-grade root, so I was promoted directly to a Five Dragon Gate candidate disciple.
But these three years, my cultivation progress has been far too slow. Many in the sect already mock me. If… if I can shine at the Five Dragon Summit, those people will finally respect me.”

The Demon Lord’s voice was calm.
“That woman is a Pure Yin body. Her Yin essence can help you leap directly from Foundation Establishment to the Fusion Realm. The Summit is in two months you must obtain her Yin essence before then.”

“If necessary, I will intervene personally.”

Chu Fu was clever; even he sensed something wrong.

This Demon Lord had always been selfish. Why would he help him so enthusiastically?

Chu Fu frowned.
“But Honored One… why are you so concerned about the Five Dragon Summit?”

Silence. Then the Demon Lord’s hoarse voice resumed.
“The Immortal sects have always looked down on demon kind. Many years ago, it was the Five Dragon Gate leading the other sects that suppressed me and the Demon Lord of Jueming Valley beneath Mount Bai’e.”

“To them, we demons are like pigs and dogs disgusting.”

“But,” he suddenly laughed, voice rasping, “if you become the next First Disciple of Five Dragon Gate… would that not be the greatest mockery of them all? Hahaha! The disciple they praise trained by the very Demon Lord they despise!”

Chu Fu’s brows tightened; faint displeasure appeared on his face.

He certainly didn’t want to acknowledge being the Demon Lord’s disciple.
Their relationship was merely mutual exploitation.

“The Summit offers not only honor,” the Demon Lord continued, “but a Dao-partner as well. A once-in-a-lifetime chance.”

Chu Fu raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

“The reward from those old fossils of Five-Dragon Gate is the renowned sword, Flowing Ice.”

“That sword was forged a thousand years ago by the top swordsmith Xuanwu, using a strand of Heavenly Silkworm Grass soul as the guide, and the White Tiger’s Celestial Essence as material. It then absorbed centuries of energy in the Taiqing Secret Realm and has long since gained sentience.”

“It is the twin sword of Dream Heng Lord’s Candle Shadow. Whoever wins Flowing Ice will have the right to pair with Dream Heng Lord.”

A faint light rose in Chu Fu’s eyes. “I see.”

“I have always had high hopes for you,” said the Demon Lord. “Once you get close to Dream Heng Lord, you can surely win her favor. She is at the Fusion Realm and of an age to choose a Dao partner. A clever man with a compatible spiritual root is extremely rare to her. You must seize this chance.”

“An immortal spiritual body what a powerful complement a Dao-partnership would be.”

In the dimness, Chu Fu clenched his fist.
“Yes, I will do my best.”

He continued,
“Honored One, you still haven’t told me how should I obtain her Yin essence?”

The conversation returned to Yan Jue.

The Demon Lord laughed.
“That’s not difficult. I will assist you when the time comes. Rest assured.”

He threw something out through the barrier.

A small pellet rolled across the ground with a crisp sound.

“That woman is lustful by nature. Use this on her…”

Chu Fu smiled.
“Excellent. Thank you, Honored One!”

The weather was bright and beautiful today.

“Sit,” Qi Xianqing said.

The little fox sat upright with a straight back.

“Spin.”

The little fox hopped and spun three full circles, wind whooshing past her ears.

Qi Xianqing propped her chin on her hand, smiling.
“Jump.”

Yan Jue instantly became unhappy.
Of all commands, she hated “jump” the most it was exhausting.

The little fox collapsed on the ground and whined pitifully at Qi Xianqing, her four tails wagging desperately.

Qi Xianqing blinked in surprise.

A fox’s coquettish cry was naturally seductive. Sunlight shone into the fox’s clear amber eyes, her narrow phoenix gaze gleaming. Unintentionally enchanting small wonder King Zhou was bewitched by Daji.

Yan Jue growled in complaint.
Qi Xianqing: “Jump.”

Yan Jue: “…”

She jumped three feet high higher than Qi Xianqing herself.

As a red fox, she possessed superior bloodline traits; her pouncing and biting abilities were extraordinary.

Qi Xianqing set her on the stool and tickled her neck.
“Which family’s little fox is this adorable? Is it you?”

Yan Jue stared into Qi Xianqing’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes. Her hind legs stretched upward in the air, kicking unconsciously. She felt… something indescribable in her heart.

After spending so much time together, Qi Xianqing knew every sensitive spot on her body.

Her head…her favorite place to be touched. Her ears also wonderful…

Yan Jue yawned, body relaxing completely.

Then her chest, her belly, and her limbs…

A brief silence fell.

Suddenly, Qi Xianqing sat down on the stool, smiling at her.
“Tell me what realm are you at now?”

Little fox: “Squeak?!”

She tilted her head frantically playing dumb.

Qi Xianqing continued,
“You seem like you’re at the fourth realm. Normally, most demon beasts gain the ability to transform at the second realm. But you still haven’t… could it be…”

Yan Jue looked at her…her whole body turning cold.

Qi Xianqing frowned slightly.
“Are you planning to stay in beast form and take the path of a spirit beast?”

Yan Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Humans were considered the most intelligent among all creatures. Many beasts chose to transform upon reaching the second realm so they could better comprehend the Dao.

Remaining in their true form limited their cultivation.

But some beasts chose to retain their true form and cultivate further that was the path of the spirit-beast.

Spirit beasts of this type generally possessed excellent bloodlines, and thus disdained relying on human transformation to elevate themselves.

Some noble blooded spirit beasts such as the Bai Ze, the Qilin, the White Ape, the Suanni, and the like simply looked down on taking human form.

They could cultivate perfectly well in their original bodies.

Qi Xianqing held the little fox’s soft, plump paws in her hands as she looked at her.

She had wanted a spirit beast for a long time.

Her master, Fairy Yunzhen, had even promised to take her to Qingqiu Path to catch one.

But spirit beasts were highly intelligent creatures.

Many spirit beasts were extremely possessive by nature.
