The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 64

Yan Jue turned her head, her eyes wide as she stared at Qi Xianqing.

Did Qi Xianqing know what she was saying?

Qi Xianqing gave her a cold look, then shifted her gaze away.

“…”

Could it be the idea of “once a teacher, always a father”?

Qi Xianqing held this belief strongly, and therefore didn’t allow her to randomly seek other masters…

Yan Jue couldn’t help but recall what Qi Xianqing had said to the little fox that day in the Icy Peach Garden.

Could it be…

Forget it, she shouldn’t think about these messy things.

Yan Jue: “Although Celestial Master Yun Zhen told me that, I won’t actually go to seek her out…”

Yan Jue mumbled: “I still prefer Elder Senior Sister to teach me.”

Qi Xianqing pursed her lips, stood by the cold pool with her hands behind her back, staring at the calm, rippleless water in the distance, saying nothing.

A hint of a smile, however, flashed across her eyes, almost imperceptibly.

The air fell into a brief silence.

Yan Jue suddenly remembered something, took an item out from her sleeve, and broke the awkward tension between them.

Yan Jue: “Senior Sister, I accidentally obtained something in the Skin Painter Ghost’s residence in Fengxian Town that day. Do you know what this is?”

She handed over two fragments of broken purple jade.

The purple jade was very light in color, almost transparent under the sunlight.

Qi Xianqing paused slightly, pieced the two jade fragments together, and could vaguely make out an incomplete character, “Xu”.

Qi Xianqing pondered: “Cultivators generally use jade pendants as a key to open a secret realm. This does look very similar…”

Yan Jue quickly followed up: “So, these two pieces of jade are the key to a certain secret realm, right?”

Qi Xianqing: “That’s possible, but two pieces of this key are missing, and no one knows who possesses them across the world. If you want to find the remaining fragments, the difficulty is very high.”

Yan Jue nodded thoughtfully.

Qi Xianqing looked up, glanced at her: “Something so precious, you tell me, aren’t you afraid that I…”

She didn’t finish the sentence.

Although Yan Jue’s cultivation was also improving, she was still temporarily unable to surpass Qi Xianqing.

With Qi Xianqing’s strength and status, if she genuinely intended to search for the other two fragments of the jade pendant, it would clearly be much easier for her than for Yan Jue.

Secret realms held enormous temptation for cultivators.

If Qi Xianqing harbored ulterior motives and wished to seize the treasure, Yan Jue would be completely helpless.

Yan Jue’s heart sank, unsure how to answer the question.

She had developed an inexplicable trust in Qi Xianqing, starting she didn’t know when.

Yan Jue lowered her eyes and suddenly asked, “May I ask Elder Senior Sister to elaborate on the topic of secret realms?”

Qi Xianqing lightly coughed and said calmly: “The three known great secret realms in this world are the Myriad Forms Secret Realm, the Advent Secret Realm, and the Boundless Secret Realm.”

“These secret realms not only contain rare birds and exotic beasts but also countless magic treasures and celestial herbs. However, among these three great secret realms, only the entrance to the Boundless Secret Realm is currently clearly known, located at the summit of Kunlun Mountain in the Northern Territory. But I hear that no one in this world has yet reached any of these three great secret realms.”

“In these three great secret realms, the key to each is a jade pendant.”

Qi Xianqing: “In addition to these three natural secret realms, there are many man made secret realms. For instance, when a mighty figure is reaching the end of their lifespan, and they have no place to store their rare treasures, they choose to hide them within a secret realm.”

Indeed, every time she spent time with Qi Xianqing, she learned new knowledge.

Yan Jue said cheerfully: “Thank you, Senior Sister.”

After bidding farewell to Qi Xianqing, Yan Jue descended the mountain again.

She intended to visit Chunhua Cave one more time to find the so-called Jade Faced Lady.

If she was correct, this Jade Faced Lady was a very important opportunity for Chu Fu.

She was determined to find this opportunity.

Yan Jue quickly arrived at Little Chun Mountain, outside Qingye Town.

She had previously undergone body strengthening training under Qi Xianqing’s supervision, and her physical fitness was already excellent. Her Flying Swallow Steps were instantly deployed, and she reached the mountain top in just the time it takes to burn one stick of incense.

The sun was gentle, and the air was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers.

The cave dwelling soon appeared before her eyes, concealed among the flowers and grass, subtly radiating a mysterious feeling.

The demon didn’t seem to be home again?

Yan Jue closed her eyes, and her intense divine sense instantly spread out.

After a period of practice, her divine sense could now cover an area of ten li (approx. 5 km) radius.

Nothing could escape her detection.

After spreading her divine sense, Yan Jue did not detect any trace of the demon in Chunhua Cave.

Instead, she detected a mass of blue aura.

It seemed to be… a Fusion Realm cultivator!

A doubt flashed through Yan Jue’s mind when she suddenly heard a deafening explosion nearby.

“Boom!!!”

Something flew out of the mountain cave.

The person was wearing a blue-green Taoist robe, was corpulent, and had a face covered in heavy flesh, and fell heavily to the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Yan Jue was stunned, then suddenly noticed the talisman plaque at the person’s waist.

She quickly recognized the fat man who flew out.

It was the Southern Tower Celestial Master she had encountered in Fengxian Town that day!

Southern Tower was a very prominent name in the cultivation world.

It was affiliated with the Imperial Court, serving them exclusively, and wielded absolute power in the cultivation world.

Southern Tower was an entity separate from the Six Great Immortal Sects, yet possessing extremely formidable strength.

Last time in Fengxian Town, Yan Jue didn’t have much interaction with the fat Celestial Master from Southern Tower, but the impression was quite deep.

As Yan Jue was thinking, something suddenly darted out from that direction.

It was a white figure.

It was a frail white fox, its fur snowy white, its waist slender, naturally exuding a seductive charm.

The fat man was covered in blood: “You flirtatious fox, I’ll punish you right here and now!”

But he was severely injured and couldn’t stand up. He could only sit on the ground, chanting an incantation. In an instant, a long sword was conjured above his head.

The sword blade flashed, and it abruptly flew out.

The white fox was clearly also injured, and its movement speed was exceptionally slow.

Yan Jue was slightly startled.

On the white fox’s forehead, a very faint blue light seemed to be glowing, flickering vaguely, apparently some kind of mark.

The white fox’s dodging speed was half a beat too slow the long sword was about to strike its body.

Yan Jue silently recited a mantra, and the golden collar around her neck instantly detached, condensing into a massive shield in the sky.

Accompanied by a deafening crash, the shield, forged from profound Northern Sea Iron, hard pressed deflected the attack of the long sword!

The Southern Tower Celestial Master frowned, yelling: “Who!”

He turned his head and saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat and veil standing under a big tree, her face indiscernible.

He could only vaguely make out that the Taoist robe she wore belonged to the Five Dragon Mountain sect!

Yan Jue formed hand seals, and the profound Northern Sea Iron rapidly contracted, astonishingly transforming into a golden, glittering flying sword in the air.

The golden flying sword, carrying immense force, broke through the air and thrust toward the Southern Tower Celestial Master.

The Southern Tower Celestial Master’s face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and shouted: “Five Glow Treasure Sword!”

The long sword flew directly, colliding with the small flying sword.

This was the basic method of combat between cultivators: directly conjuring their immortal swords in the sky.

Apart from Martial Path cultivators, cultivators rarely engaged in combat using bare hands.

Yan Jue silently recited a mantra, and the flying sword, transformed from the profound Northern Sea Iron, darted left and right in the sky. The spiritual power of the Fusion Realm surged in her chest like a flowing river, and her Qi Sea spun frantically like a gear, the spiritual power then channeled through Yan Jue into the profound Northern Sea Iron.

The flying sword emitted a dazzling light in the sky. The more they entangled, the weaker and softer the Southern Tower Celestial Master’s long sword’s offensive became.

The Southern Tower Celestial Master suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, turned around, and ran away.

Yan Jue frowned, staring at his retreating back, when she suddenly saw the injured white fox scamper up to her, prostrating itself beneath her: “Thank you, Mistress, for saving me again.”

The blue mark on the white fox’s forehead flickered, its light gradually intensifying.

Yan Jue was slightly stunned.

The white fox lay on the ground, its expression pained, and its voice weak: “Could Mistress please help me one more time?”

Yan Jue had originally intended to ask it about seduction techniques. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but be surprised: “How can I help you?”

The blue light on the white fox’s body was flashing too intensely, making it impossible to ignore. Even if Yan Jue was clueless about the cultivation world, she sensed something unusual.

White Fox: “Touch my head.”

The white fox’s head was where the mark was glowing.

Yan Jue met the white fox’s plaintive and pleading eyes, slowly extended her hand, and placed it on the white fox’s forehead, where the blue mark was flashing.

A burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted in the air.

Yan Jue felt a warm sensation being channeled into her body.

She suddenly felt she had fallen for a trick.

The look of pain on the white fox’s face instantly vanished. It climbed up from the ground and looked at her gently: “Thank you, Mistress. Now you are my Master.”

Yan Jue: “?”

Yan Jue was incredulous: “When did I become your Master?”

The white fox looked at her with deep affection: “The moment you touched my head just now, we formed a master servant contract.”

Yan Jue: “…”

White Fox: “Master, I know it’s hard for you to accept right away, but you helped me a great deal. Even if we didn’t form a master-servant contract, I would still follow you to repay you. Could you please see this through and temporarily form a master-servant contract with me? I will naturally leave once the contract ends.”

This line… why did it sound so familiar?

Wasn’t this what the white fox said to the male protagonist when they formed a master-servant contract?

This white fox did form a master-servant contract with the male protagonist, that was true.

But Yan Jue hadn’t expected to steal the male protagonist’s opportunity so smoothly.

Yan Jue had only come down the mountain this time to learn seduction techniques from the Jade-Faced Lady, and never thought about forming a master-servant contract with her.

In the demon race, the concept of hierarchy was genuinely very strong.

The Red Fox clan enjoyed a respected status.

However, other foxes, in the demon world, inevitably suffered bullying.

White foxes… black foxes… yellow foxes…

Although they were of the same species, their status and rank were vastly different.

Therefore, these types of foxes were extremely eager to find protection.

If a white fox of humble status could find a Red Fox as its master, it would undoubtedly be much safer to travel in the human world.

This was why the white fox immediately became respectful toward her the moment it saw she was a Red Fox.

As Yan Jue was thinking, she suddenly saw the white fox step forward, open its mouth, and spit out something from within.

Yan Jue was surprised.

A light green pill.

This was actually the white fox’s demon core.

White Fox: “Master, you must take responsibility for me…”

Yan Jue immediately returned the demon core to the white fox: “Don’t talk like that in the future. First, tell me what’s going on. Why were you at Old Master Li’s residence last time? Why did you harm people like that?”

The white fox said aggrievedly: “Alright.”

So, the white fox recounted the general sequence of events.

The white fox’s name was Bai Ying.

It turned out that the reason Yan Jue encountered Bai Ying in the residence in Fengxian Town last time was that Bai Ying had previously been captured by the Skin Painter Ghost.

The Skin Painter Ghost kept her, forcing a master servant contract upon her.

Bai Ying would occasionally help the Skin Painter Ghost with tasks.

But that Skin Painter Ghost was sent to the magistrate’s office and quickly executed by the magistrate.

The Skin Painter Ghost was dead, but the master servant contract between the white fox and the original owner still existed.

Bai Ying was originally the cave master of Chunhua Cave on Little Chun Mountain. After escaping from the Skin Painter Ghost, she naturally returned to her cave dwelling.

The master servant contract still existed, and she was in agonizing pain.

The curse of the master-servant contract tormented her from time to time.

To get rid of this painful torment, she had to quickly find a new master for the contract mark.

To prevent her spiritual power from being entirely absorbed by this cursed mark, she could only absorb large amounts of yang energy.

Hence the matter with Old Master Li.

As for why the Southern Tower Celestial Master came here today…

It was because the white fox used to follow the Skin Painter Ghost.

The Southern Tower cultivator was still resentful about not capturing the Skin Painter Ghost last time.

He somehow got a lead and tracked it down to Qingye Town.

And so the scene just now occurred.

Yan Jue, by a twist of fate, took the Skin Painter Ghost’s place and became her new Master.

The white fox’s expression was pious: “Thanks to Master for saving me.”

Yan Jue: “Just call me Yan Jue.”

White Fox: “Yes, Master.”

Yan Jue: “…”

Yan Jue had also read the novel.

She knew that the master-servant contract was a brand formed by cultivators specifically with spirits and demonic beasts.

Once the master servant contract was formed, the cultivator could freely search the demon beast’s inner abode.

If necessary, they could even directly seize the demon beast’s demon core.

Yan Jue was a modern person transmigrated into the book, and for a moment, she couldn’t quite accept this setting.

Almost every woman in this book had some degree of indescribable relationship with the male protagonist, and this white fox, as the male protagonist’s pet, was naturally no exception.

Yan Jue sighed: “I came here this time to learn seduction techniques from the Lady.”

The white fox’s eyes brightened, and she looked up: “So, Master came here today specifically for this matter?”

Yan Jue: “Yes, I want to learn the most basic kind, the seduction technique that can control a person’s movements.”

Yan Jue didn’t know what the threshold for the white fox to teach people was.

Last time, she heard Rouyi say that the Jade Faced Lady taught her the full range of seduction techniques without asking for any money.

But if the white fox required money to teach her, she wouldn’t mind paying a bit more.

However, now she had inexplicably formed a master-servant contract with this white fox.

The white fox glanced at the cave dwelling behind her, which had already turned into ruins, and complained teasingly: “Master rushed here today, do you intend to learn all the seduction techniques in one day?”

Yan Jue was actually thinking exactly that. It might be because her speed in learning martial arts had been increasing since she returned from Nanxing Town last time.

She subconsciously felt that seduction techniques could also be mastered by attending the lesson and then reviewing it on the mountain for two days.

White Fox: “The fox clan’s seduction techniques are profound and certainly cannot be learned in a single day.”

Yan Jue was silent.

The white fox suddenly walked forward, its wet nose rubbing against the back of her hand, and its tongue licking the back of her hand: “Mistress can take this concubine home. This concubine will… teach you slowly at home.”

Yan Jue was caught off guard by the lick, and she abruptly shook her hand away.

The white fox was unprepared and was knocked several zhang (approx. 10 meters) away: “…”

The white fox was almost crying: “Master… how could you treat me like this… I didn’t do anything.”

Yan Jue’s reaction was purely instinctive. She hadn’t expected that when she asked the white fox to teach her seduction techniques, the white fox would immediately give her a live demonstration of one.

Yan Jue: “No need. Find a place to stay on your own, and I’ll come to you every day. I can provide you with the money for accommodation. If… you are willing to teach me.”

White Fox: “But I can’t transform into human form right now… it’s too dangerous…”

She rolled on the ground, exposing her belly, her pair of unique fox like phoenix eyes looking as if she were about to weep.

Yan Jue: “It’s inconvenient for me to take you up the mountain.”

White Fox: “You probably don’t know that the fox clan is skilled in transformation. Although this concubine cannot take human form temporarily, I can still follow you.”

This white fox… seemed to know a lot about everything related to the fox clan.

If she let the white fox stay by her side, it would indeed be more convenient for her to learn some of the fox clan’s unique divine abilities.

As Yan Jue was pondering, the white fox’s form suddenly flashed, and then transformed into a phantom image.

Yan Jue was slightly startled.

The phantom image wobbled in the air, turning into a small bracelet dangling a piece of white jade, and then it hung on Yan Jue’s wrist.
