The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 61

Qi Xianqing: “Thank you, Master. This disciple will try again when she returns.”

Yun Zhen suddenly noticed something: “The poison on your hand seems to still be there.”

“Hmm?”

It had been nearly a month since returning from the Suyang Immortal Manor. The spider bite scars on Qi Xianqing had mostly faded, but the residual poison was still uncleared, leaving faint dark marks on her arm.

Yun Zhen: “The poison of the Myriad Soul Poisonous Spider cannot be cured by ordinary elixirs. You can try your luck at Hundred Flowers Valley to see if you can gather six ‘Winter Leaves’.”

That day, in the Suyang Immortal Manor, Qi Xianqing was gravely poisoned. It was only thanks to Yan Jue’s elixir that her life was barely saved.

But the Myriad-Soul Poisonous Spider is one of the most poisonous creatures in the world, which is why even now, the residual poison inside Qi Xianqing’s body has not been eliminated. It flares up every night, causing unbearable pain.

However, the famous flower, “Winter Leaf,” is incredibly hard to find.

This flower can detoxify all poisons and also has the effect of clearing meridians. It blooms once every three years and looks no different from an ordinary flower.

Hundred Flowers Valley has countless flowers; finding one Winter Leaf is not easy.

Qi Xianqing only listened. She was usually very busy and didn’t truly intend to search for it: “Yes, thank you for the Master’s guidance.”

After recuperating for a few days in her dormitory, Yan Jue walked out, pretending nothing was amiss.

The weather had been fine these past few days. Yan Jue wore only an indigo grey floral mamianqun (horse-face skirt), and her raven black hair was held up with a wooden hairpin.

The golden sunlight poured down. Her phoenix like eyes were slightly lowered, her lips were red and teeth white, and her face was powdered.

The collar around her neck made crisp sounds with her steps, truly embodying grace and elegance with every movement.

Du Ming happened to come out to fetch water: “What’s wrong with you? Why do I feel like you’re even prettier than before? What were you cultivating during your seclusion? A beauty spell?”

Yan Jue said expressionlessly: “Perhaps it’s because a love for studying can make a person beautiful?”

Du Ming rolled her eyes at her: “Is that so? Why didn’t I get prettier when I finished my seclusion a few days ago?”

Yan Jue observed her carefully: “You have to be confident in yourself. You’ve become beautiful too.”

Du Ming punched her lightly: “Thanks for that.”

After Yan Jue completed her tribulation, she felt an inexhaustible strength coursing through her body.

In a sense, she was the same as Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing, that day in the Suyang Immortal Manor, advanced by utilizing the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, breaking through to the middle stage of the Integration Realm.

While she, with the help of the heavenly thunder, successfully broke through to the early stage of the Integration Realm.

If this continues, she will soon catch up to Qi Xianqing.

However, Yan Jue wasn’t the least bit proud.

Because Qi Xianqing was already an experienced adult.

She was still just a little fox baby of several thousand years old.

Qi Xianqing completely crushed her, both in terms of experience and talent.

Yan Jue calmed herself and performed a set of punches in the courtyard.

Yan Jue returned to her dormitory and just happened to see a brand new copy of the Five Dragons Compendium of All Things placed outside her door.

She raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but smile.

Du Ming still hadn’t forgotten to deliver the newspaper to her regularly. She was just wondering if anything new had happened lately.

Yan Jue returned to her room, placed the newspaper on the table, and began to review the martial arts she had recently learned.

First were her divine abilities.

Since her spirit root successfully mutated, her body’s integration with the Ice element had been getting better and better.

The Ice Summoning Technique was already mastered.

Yan Jue stood in the room, suddenly stepped back, formed a hand seal, and silently chanted the incantation. A thick ice wall appeared before her.

The ice wall stood like a small mountain before her. Yan Jue believed that in time, it would become a powerful means of self-defense.

Next was the Psychic Art.

After all, the North Sea Profound Iron was not omnipotent. Even though it could transform into any shape, it had its limitations.

For example, when it transformed into a sword, she couldn’t wield it in her hand it could only fly above her, somewhat like a flying sword.

Yan Jue silently chanted the incantation. The North Sea Profound Iron around her neck immediately detached and transformed in the air into a small, glittering golden sword.

With a wave of her right hand, the sword began to fly, carrying sharp winds in its path.

Regarding magical artifacts, Yan Jue decided to use the North Sea Profound Iron primarily as a flying sword in the future, specializing in one form.

After all, constantly using it as a whip wasn’t very nice.

Next was the Soul-Binding Rope.

Yan Jue took the Soul-Binding Rope out of her Qiankun Bag (Cosmic Bag) and observed it for a moment before putting it back.

During the Five Dragons Summit, each disciple could only register one magical artifact for use.

If she were to participate in the Five Dragons Summit, the Soul-Binding Rope might not be of much use.

As for movement techniques, Yan Jue then began to review the light-body techniques Snow Skim, Flying Swallow Step, and Instantaneous Thousand Miles.

Then there was the martial art of Wrestling and Expansion.

In terms of divine sense, practice in expanding her divine sense was also ongoing.

Naturally, the more self-defense skills, the better.

Feeling the approach of death, Yan Jue increasingly felt that her self-defense skills were far too few.

The original owner was from the Red Fox clan. Such excellent bloodline must be utilized properly.

Yan Jue then sat by the bed and picked up the newspaper to read.

The first item in the Five Dragons Compendium of All Things was about the imminent Five Dragons Summit.

The Five Dragons Summit was in emergency preparation.

It is reported that this Five Dragons Summit is very different from previous ones.

Not only will all major sects send disciples to observe and learn, but the competition venue will also use the most advanced array formations.

This means that in this competition, participants will no longer stand on an ordinary platform for one on one duels as in the past.

Instead, they will compete within the array formation.

The array formation will set up many obstacles for the disciples.

This means it will be more exciting, stimulating, and much more difficult than in previous years!

More noteworthy is the news from the Five Dragons Sect that the reward for this competition is the legendary Immortal Sword “Flowing Ice.”

It is said that this sword was forged a thousand years ago along with the Immortal Sword “Candle Shadow,” and the two are a pair of male and female swords.

In the previous Five Dragons Summit, Candle Shadow awakened prematurely and was acquired by the Meng Hengjun family.

By the end of last year, the Sword Spirit of Flowing Ice already showed signs of awakening. Whoever wins Flowing Ice will…

The newspaper text stopped abruptly here.

When Yan Jue saw the two words ‘Flowing Ice’, her eye twitched involuntarily.

In the novel’s plot, Flowing Ice is the male protagonist’s destined sword.

Because the male protagonist absorbed her yin energy just before the Five Dragons Summit, his cultivation greatly advanced, and he actually defeated Qi Xianqing at the Summit, becoming the new generation’s chief disciple of the Five Dragons Sect.

This is also considered a grand male protagonist script, where men are always stronger than women in the story.

Qi Xianqing, having been defeated by the male protagonist, developed a deep interest and sense of submission towards him. In short, it was all kinds of unspeakable things.

Yan Jue frowned slightly and turned the page to the second one.

Headline: Shocking! The Meng Hengjun you thought you knew is actually a Big Eater?

Yan Jue: “…”

Someone encountered Meng Hengjun at a banquet in Fengxian Town.

They thought she was a graceful, ethereal immortal detached from the mortal world, but who knew she actually packed up an entire table’s worth of fine wine and delicacies to leave.

The author couldn’t help but say, Meng Hengjun, you probably can’t finish all the stuff you packed in three days and three nights.

Could the Goddess really be a foodie…?

Yan Jue: “…”

Even though Meng Hengjun has always had many followers in the Five Dragons Sect, the Five Dragons Compendium of All Things is still very bold in its writing.

Yan Jue didn’t know what to say.

Yan Jue was about to put the newspaper down, but was surprised to find that this edition of the Five Dragons Compendium of All Things actually had a third page.

The Five Dragons Compendium of All Things usually only has two main articles.

After all, this is an ancient newspaper, not a modern one; news isn’t so widely spread.

The third page contained a small piece of trivia: Do you know how powerful a Fox Demon’s Charm Art is?

Yan Jue instantly became interested and began to read.

A truly powerful Fox Demon can use the Charm Art to command people without being noticed.

High level Charm Art can instantly confuse and infatuate a clear-headed man. After charming a man, the Fox Demon will take the opportunity to absorb his yang energy. Men who fall victim to this often suffer eternal damnation.

It is reported that there is a Fox Demon skilled in the Charm Art right here in our Southwest region.

According to the investigation by the Kongqing Prefecture, the Fox Demon lives in Xiaochun Mountain, calls herself the Jade-Face Empress of Chunhua Cave to outsiders, and specializes in teaching the Charm Art to courtesans.

She resides only within this mountain, where the clouds are deep and the location unknown.

It’s a pity that the people sent by the Kongqing Prefecture have searched the mountain for days but failed to visit this highly skilled Fox Demon Empress.

Perhaps she is only willing to associate with courtesans and does not wish to meet disciples of the orthodox immortal sects.

No one knows.

Yan Jue stared at the last article and suddenly remembered something.

That’s right.

The thing that Red Foxes are best at should be…

Charm Art.

Yan Jue frowned slightly, sinking into thought.

She remembered that in this novel, the male protagonist also had a Fox Demon in his harem.

And she was a White Fox very proficient in the Charm Art.

That Fox Demon met the male protagonist during a mission, eventually formed a master-servant contract with him, was completely loyal to him, and seemed to also be called “Jade-Face Empress.”

White Foxes and Red Foxes are both of the same clan.

This White Fox was encountered by the male protagonist during a mission in Qingye Town.

But according to later revelations in the novel, the two had actually met once a long time ago.

Yan Jue suddenly thought of the White Fox she saw last time in the Skin-Painted Ghost’s residence in Fengxian Town.

The male protagonist was also there at that time.

However, the person who met the White Fox had become her.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through Yan Jue’s mind.

When Yan Jue arrived at the Deacon’s Pavilion, there weren’t many people there.

Perhaps with the Five Dragons Summit approaching, everyone was busy cultivating and had no time to take missions.

Many mission plaques were hanging on the wall.

Yan Jue searched among the mission plaques based on her memory and finally found one of the missions.

Qingye Town: The Case of Old Master Li’s Ghost Encounter.

If she remembered correctly, this should be the mission where the male protagonist obtained a crucial opportunity.

It was in this mission that the male protagonist formed a master servant contract with a White Fox who was extremely skilled in the Charm Art.

Since she was the one who met the White Fox first in Fengxian Town last time.

Then, if she now takes the mission that the male protagonist was supposed to take next, she might be able to find the White Fox one step ahead of him.

Yan Jue took the mission plaque off the wall: “I want this mission.”

The Elder was looking down at a book. Hearing her, he slowly looked up at her and said indifferently: “Register it.”

Yan Jue quickly finished the registration and turned to leave.

Just as her front foot stepped out the back door of the Deacon’s Pavilion.

A figure arrived at the Deacon’s Pavilion.

Chu Fu, wearing a jise colored Daoist robe, with a handsome face and graceful demeanor, walked into the Deacon’s Pavilion with a man in a green robe.

“I wonder what mission Brother Chu wants to take this time?” The man in the green robe chuckled: “The Five Dragons Summit is starting soon, so there should be many missions available.”

Chu Fu walked up to the front counter and looked up at the mission plaques.

His gaze swept across the mission plaques, and he slowly frowned…

Why does it feel like there are no missions that interest him?

Yan Jue returned to her room and began to analyze the content of the mission plaque.

She was only halfway through the analysis.

“Yan Jue!”

Since Yan Jue transmigrated here, she had made quite a few friends.

Hearing the familiar voice outside the door, she couldn’t help but smile knowingly.

Yan Jue opened the door and, sure enough, saw Duan Luxi’s familiar face.

Duan Luxi was from the Muyin Sect, and her Daoist robe was the standard turquoise green color issued to Muyin Sect disciples. Seeing her face after a long time felt particularly welcoming to Yan Jue.

Duan Luxi: “Long time no see, Junior Sister Yan. How have you been lately? The Five Dragons Summit is about to begin. Are you ready?”

Yan Jue temporarily did not plan to participate in this Five Dragons Summit.

First, she is currently an outsider.

Second, Yan Jue does not believe her current strength is sufficient to compete with the big shots within the sect.

Participating in the Five Dragons Summit who exactly would she be facing…

Leaving Qi Xianqing aside, she probably couldn’t even defeat Lin Xi and Ji Guiyan, who went on the mission to Kongshan with her last time.

“I’m not quite sure yet.” Yan Jue lightly skipped the topic and asked with a smile, “How are your preparations coming along?”

Duan Luxi: “It’s alright, just so-so. Anyway, I definitely can’t defeat my senior brothers and sisters, so I’ll just treat the competition as training.”

“I should thank you for helping me refine magical artifacts normally.” Yan Jue asked, “What brings you to me this time?”

Duan Luxi: “Junior Sister Yan, I recently took a mission, but no one wants to go down the mountain with me.”

Yan Jue: “Huh? A mission?”

Duan Luxi: “Last time, I went to Nanxing Town with you, and we just completed my second beginner mission, right? I want to continue doing missions and try to finish all my beginner missions before the Five Dragons Summit begins, so I can participate in the draw for the competition.”

Yan Jue suddenly understood: “I see.”

Duan Luxi: “We got along quite well during our last mission, so I came to ask if you’re interested in taking a mission. Will you come with me?”

Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “What mission did you take?”

Duan Luxi: “The mission location isn’t far, it’s in Qingye Town at the foot of our mountain.”

Yan Jue: “Huh?”

Duan Luxi: “This has to be the simplest mission I’ve seen since coming up the mountain a sure thing. It’s an invitation sent to the Five Dragons Sect by the madam of a large family in Qingye Town, the Li family, asking us cultivators to… catch an adulterer.”

Yan Jue was slightly startled and immediately looked down at her own command token.

No way, that’s too much of a coincidence.

Duan Luxi’s mission was actually the same as hers!!!

Duan Luxi: “Mrs. Li suspects her husband is having an affair, and the object of his affection is a demon.”

This is too coincidental…

Yan Jue frowned and pondered for a moment, then her thoughts suddenly cleared.

Because the male protagonist was also on the road to Nanxing Town last time, and his excellent performance in the mission greatly impressed Duan Luxi, successfully making Duan Luxi one of his confidantes.

With the Five Dragons Summit approaching, Duan Luxi rushed to the Shuiyun Sect and asked the male protagonist to do a mission with her.

Their missions just happened to be the same one.

It was just that coincidental.

Duan Luxi: “Yan Jue? What’s wrong?”

Yan Jue snapped back, raising the wooden plaque in her hand: “Coincidentally, I just claimed a mission at the Deacon’s Pavilion, which is also to help a large family in Qingye Town catch a ghost.”

Duan Luxi: “? No way, are we two so fated?”

“It seems there are only three slots for this mission, right?”
