The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 61.1
Yan Jue nodded with an awkward smile.
Duan Luxi then gave a gossipy look: “But in any case, if you don’t go on a mission of this level, it’d be too bad.”
“Catching an adulterer in a rich family, you can imagine what that’s like.”
“…”
After some discussion, Yan Jue and Duan Luxi finally agreed to meet at the entrance of the Li family residence at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).
Yan Jue had nothing to do during the day anyway. After Duan Luxi left, she tidied up a little and went straight down the mountain.
In the afternoon, the sun was perfect.
Yan Jue wore a light Daoist robe and strolled leisurely along the mountain path.
After going to Xiaoxing Village with Qi Xianqing last time, Qi Xianqing gave the Breath Concealing Cloak to Yan Jue.
Yan Jue wore the Breath Concealing Cloak and went down the mountain, heading straight for the Myriad Demon Pavilion.
Perhaps because she didn’t intend to run away this time, or perhaps her roundabout way of saving the country was truly effective in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao…
This time, when she went down the mountain, the Heavenly Dao did not stop her.
The closest place to Five Dragons Mountain was Qingye Town.
Yan Jue went straight to the Myriad Demon Pavilion in Qingye Town.
As a rich woman with several thousand high-grade spirit stones, Yan Jue smiled throughout her shopping trip.
Yan Jue went to the Pheasant Demon’s stall: “Boss, do you have any elixirs for improving cultivation?”
Compared to other elixirs, there were many for improving cultivation.
Because this type of elixir was in high demand in the cultivation world; there were simply too many people in this world who wanted to gain something without effort.
Yan Jue quickly bought a large bag of elixirs, various colorful pills were handed over in a cloth bag.
“Foundation Establishment Pill.”
“Marrow Refining Pill.”
“Qi Harmony Pill.”
Yan Jue looked at them, a bit unsure: “Are these elixirs enough?”
The Pheasant Demon: “My lady, I’m telling you, this pile of elixirs is definitely enough to raise a mortal in the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Illumination Realm.”
To avoid interfering with the plot development, she needed to make the male protagonist’s strength even stronger.
Yan Jue thought for a moment and handed her stock of immortal medicine, the Black Vein Coral, to the Pheasant Demon.
The black coral lay quietly on her palm, cracks could faintly be seen under the sun.
The Pheasant Demon looked troubled: “This Black Vein Coral specialized in absorbing souls while alive. It has heavy yin energy and even a trace of wicked energy. If refined into an elixir, although it can greatly increase cultivation, it is virtually no different from Demonic Cultivation.”
The Demonic Path is also a sensitive topic in the Demon Realm.
Because the Demonic Path has always been opposed to the Immortal Sects, the Demon Clan, for their own protection, temporarily dares not get too close to the Demonic Path.
Yan Jue: “It’s fine, it’s fine, just refine it into an elixir.”
Elixirs containing extremely yin and wicked energy can also greatly increase cultivation.
This is probably why, even though the Demonic Sect is clearly bad, so many cultivators join it one after another.
Anyway, the male protagonist will eventually enter the Demonic Path, so Yan Jue felt no burden giving him anything as long as it improved his cultivation.
The Pheasant Demon took Yan Jue’s materials and quickly refined a Black Vein Pill.
Yan Jue looked at her full bag of elixirs and nodded with satisfaction.
That evening, Yan Jue and Duan Luxi met at the entrance of the Li family residence.
Yan Jue stood far away, waiting, when she suddenly saw Duan Luxi walking over from that direction.
There was also a person following her.
The person was a woman wearing a brown Daoist robe, who looked at Yan Jue indifferently without speaking.
Yan Jue: “Who is this?”
Duan Luxi: “This is Senior Sister Yun Jie, she joined temporarily.”
Yan Jue: “Oh.”
Yan Jue exchanged a polite glance with the Senior Sister.
She felt that the Senior Sister’s gaze toward her was strange.
She hoped it wasn’t another one of her enemies, or someone who had held a grudge against her for a long time.
Yan Jue couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
On the way, Duan Luxi explained things to Yan Jue.
This sharp eyed Senior Sister Yun Jie was the chief disciple of the Qidun (Evasion) Sect of the Five Dragons Sect.
The Five Dragons Sect has five main peaks, and each peak has its own chief disciple.
For example, Qi Xianqing is the chief disciple of the Zhenhuo (Shocking Fire) Sect.
The annual Five Dragons Summit is also an important opportunity for inner disciples to compete for the chief disciple position of each peak countless people fight tooth and nail for this one position.
The status of a chief disciple is very high.
Perhaps because the Five Dragons Summit was approaching and there were too few available missions, Yun Jie forcefully insisted on joining, and Duan Luxi couldn’t really say no.
Yun Jie: “Both of you are in the Illumination Realm, just follow behind me later.”
As the chief disciple of the Qidun Sect, she naturally wouldn’t lag behind. She had broken through to the fourth stage, the Integration Realm, during a recent seclusion a few days ago, so she wouldn’t be completely crushed by Meng Hengjun at the Five Dragons Summit.
“Yes.”
“Especially you.” Yun Jie’s gaze swept over Yan Jue, and she frowned slightly.
She had heard some gossip about Yan Jue.
She heard this person was extremely willful and difficult to manage, and her cultivation wasn’t very high.
She didn’t know why, but upon meeting her today, this person seemed to be limping a bit…
She hoped Yan Jue wouldn’t cause any trouble later.
The election for the new Chief Disciple of the Five Dragons Sect was approaching, and she didn’t want to lose to Qi Xianqing in mission ratings.
Yan Jue: “…”
The Li family certainly deserved its reputation as a major household. The main entrance was magnificent, and the courtyard inside was elaborately carved and painted.
Led by a servant, the group passed through a long corridor and soon arrived at the back courtyard where Mrs. Li lived.
“Esteemed Immortals, thank you very much for coming here today. The situation is as follows…”
Mrs. Li was a woman dressed in rich and luxurious clothes.
Although she was forty years old, and time had etched some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
One could still tell from her features what a beauty she must have been in her youth.
Mrs. Li stared at them for a few moments, then began to narrate with a bitter expression.
“My husband and I originally had a very good relationship, but for some reason, six months ago, my husband fell ill.”
“He was originally a scholar in Qingye Town, full of inexhaustible vitality every day. But now, he is dull-eyed, thin and sallow, and in that regard… he can’t perform in the bedroom. He really wasn’t like this before!”
Mrs. Li started coughing violently at this point.
Yan Jue kept a smile and asked her: “These symptoms could also be due to physical depletion. How did Madam determine that the master’s lover is a demon?”
Mrs. Li: “Mrs. Zhang told me… My husband bought land and a residence in the countryside a long time ago. He’s keeping someone out there! That’s why he only comes home once a month. I once sent people to investigate around that residence, but as soon as they got close, stones would inexplicably be thrown at them.”
“In that residence… joyous laughter can be heard at night.”
“We all suspect that the one entangled with the master is a demon.”
“Now the master hasn’t returned home for two months.” Mrs. Li grew more agitated as she spoke: “That fox spirit must have drained the master’s body! She might even have killed him!”
Yun Jie: “Please rest assured, Madam. If Master Li has truly been entangled by a ghost or demon, we will certainly not let it go unpunished!”
Duan Luxi also chimed in: “We will definitely subdue the demon and return your healthy and robust master to you!”
Mrs. Li stood up and bowed deeply to them: “Then I leave it in the hands of the Immortal Masters.”
Because Yun Jie’s cultivation was high, she remained the primary leader for this mission.
Yan Jue and Duan Luxi didn’t have much chance to speak.
These strange cases in wealthy families have always been popular among cultivators.
Because generally, these types of cases are not too complex.
Yun Jie chatted with Mrs. Li for a while, and everything became very clear.
Yun Jie turned and looked seriously at the two of them: “According to Madam Li, Master Li only suffers from impotence and low spirits, without symptoms like darkening between the eyebrows, which means Master Li is not being haunted by a ghost.”
“But by a demon.”
Yan Jue nodded, signaling her to continue.
Yun Jie’s analysis was clear and logical: “Since the demon is Master Li’s lover, we can assume it needs to absorb a man’s vital essence to advance its cultivation. In this world, those who use the method of ‘Plucking Yang to Nourish Yin’ for cultivation are none other than Fox Demons.”
She frowned after speaking, as if she deeply hated Fox Demons.
Yan Jue: “…”
Fox Demons are truly quite disliked in this world.
Yan Jue: “Then Senior Sister, do you have a way to deal with this Fox Demon?”
Yun Jie took out an item from her Qiankun Bag: “This is called a Fox Nail. The principle is the same as a Bone-Piercing Nail, but it’s specifically customized for foxes. It is designed to counter them as soon as it touches a fox’s body, it will immediately pierce its muscle and bone.”
The Fox Nail was shaped like a nail the width of a palm, with a sharp tip that glittered ominously.
Yan Jue stared at the nail: “…”
Having prepared everything, the group arrived at Master Li’s suburban residence.
Out of careful consideration, the group did not alert the enemy.
Yun Jie stood outside the residence, formed hand seals, and lightly chanted: “Immortal Art: Earth Evasion.”
Yan Jue only felt darkness before her eyes, and faintly heard the sound of rocks rubbing against each other. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the group arrived in front of Master Li’s residence.
The Qidun Sect has always been skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia. Now it seems the reputation is well-deserved.
Yan Jue wore the Breath Concealing Cloak.
Duan Luxi took out a cloak from her Qiankun Bag.
Senior Sister Yun Jie of the Qidun Sect took a Breath-Hiding Pill.
Each had their own means of concealment.
Yan Jue’s mood was complex as she looked at the Bone-Piercing Nail in Yun Jie’s hand.
If Master Li was simply dishonest, flirting with others and getting entangled with ghosts or demons, cultivators generally wouldn’t intervene.
But if the demon was harming someone, then people had no choice but to intervene. Moreover, according to Mrs. Li’s statement, Master Li was already in a state of physical depletion.
Night was deeply set.
No one dared to breathe heavily. They held their breath and concentrated, waiting for the demon to arrive.
Although they didn’t know the demon’s cultivation level, the ones who came to eradicate it were disciples of the Five Dragons Sect, and they dared not relax their vigilance, no matter how powerful the demon was.
Yun Jie frowned, gripping the Bone-Piercing Nail in her hand even tighter.
Yan Jue looked inside through the window, only to see an emaciated man lying on the bed. The man had his head lowered, fiddling with something in his hand.
It was a golden hairpin.
The man lay on the bed, waiting for a moment, when the door on the other side suddenly opened.
The demon has arrived!
A charming woman, wearing a scarlet silk robe embroidered with gold hibiscus, walked in gracefully. In the dim light, she was beautiful with snow-white skin and slightly parted, cherry-red lips. She softly chided, “My Li Lang…”
Yan Jue’s pupils shrank.
It was actually… Mrs. Li.!
