The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 65

The sun was shining brightly.

Yan Jue put on her Breath Concealing Cloak and went up the mountain.

However, this time, she wasn’t alone.

She brought a white fox with her.

Yan Jue walked the mountain path silently, lost in her own thoughts.

Bai Ying: “Master only needs to give me three Spirit Gathering Pills every day, and I can work for you.”

The Spirit Gathering Pill was a potent tool for increasing cultivation.

Previously, when Yan Jue and Lin Xi went to Kongshan for a mission, they also received three Spirit Gathering Pills upon their return.

She naturally knew the power of that elixir.

However, this kind of pill, refined by orthodox cultivators, couldn’t be bought at the Ten Thousand Demon Pavilion.

This was because the elixirs at the Ten Thousand Demon Pavilion were quite niche, and some even took unorthodox routes, carrying a hint of demonic qi.

This meant that if Yan Jue wanted to sustain the white fox, she would have to buy the pills at the Five Dragons Market.

Bai Ying’s spiritual energy loss had been too great, and she needed the Spirit Gathering Pills to make up for the deficit.

It was essentially like she had temporarily hired an employee, paying the employee a daily wage and providing accommodation in exchange for work.

Looking at it this way, her relationship with Bai Ying was quite equal.

Yan Jue returned to her room, and the bracelet on her wrist once again transformed into a phantom, falling to the ground and becoming an elegant white fox.

Bai Ying once again spat out her demon core: “Now that you are my master, it would be better for you to accept this demon core.”

Yan Jue: “Why must I accept it?”

Bai Ying: “Because my previous masters all…”

Yan Jue squatted down, picked up the light green demon core from the ground, and returned it to her: “No need. I have other things I need you to do.”

Yan Jue had already come up with a different idea on the way back.

Bai Ying stared at Yan Jue for a long time, then spat out another object from her mouth.

Yan Jue was stunned.

A sky blue bead dropped onto the ground, making a crisp sound.

Bai Ying: “Since a master-servant contract has been established, everything I own naturally belongs to the master.”

“This is called the Lightning Evasion Pearl. Demonic entities are naturally afraid of thunder and lightning. With this pearl, most mortal lightning in the world can be avoided.”

Yan Jue picked up the sky blue bead and curled her lips: “Why does it seem like everything you own is spat out from your mouth?”

Bai Ying cooed: “Because my inner core is hidden in my belly, so whatever I want to take out is naturally spat out.”

Yan Jue: “…Oh.”

Before she finished speaking, Bai Ying spat out another stone from her mouth.

“Dong..” The stone fell to the ground with a resounding thud.

It was a very ordinary stone.

The body of the stone was uneven, roughly circular in shape.

Yan Jue: “What is this?”

Bai Ying: “This is something I found in the wilderness once while working with the Painted Skin Ghost. I thought its shape was pleasing, and it emitted an unusual spiritual energy, so I took it back.”

Yan Jue frowned slightly, her fingertips tracing the uneven stone. She indeed felt an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy on it.

“These are all the things inside my inner core, I give them all to the master.”

The demon core is a demon’s life essence, a fact Yan Jue knew deeply.

Therefore, she definitely couldn’t accept Bai Ying’s demon core.

As for the other two items, since Bai Ying insisted on giving them to her, Yan Jue had no choice but to put them into her Qiankun Pouch (Cosmic Bag).

Yan Jue had read the novel and knew what was about to happen in the original story.

But the current plot had deviated too much from the novel.

She didn’t know the male protagonist’s and the Devil Lord’s specific actions.

Moreover, the Five Dragons Summit was fast approaching.

As her death date drew near, Yan Jue felt restless and couldn’t sleep whenever she thought of it.

Although the male protagonist went to the cliff every night to look for the Devil Lord, she didn’t know what exactly he did.

Yan Jue was truly worried sick.

But on the mountain path while taking Bai Ying back to the dorm, Yan Jue had a new idea.

Yan Jue carried her Qiankun Pouch and first went to the Five Dragons Market.

At the market, she first went to the Alchemy Hall and bought enough “Spirit Gathering Pills” for Bai Ying for about a month.

Then, she went to a Talisman shop.

After purchasing the materials, Yan Jue returned to her dorm room.

She first gave Bai Ying three Spirit Gathering Pills, and then sat at her desk to eat her own meal.

Yan Jue watched the sky gradually darken, then suddenly turned to the white fox, which was sitting in the corner licking its fur, and asked: “Can you help me with one thing?”

Seeing Yan Jue’s serious expression, Bai Ying also became solemn: “What are your orders, Master?”

Yan Jue: “Thus and so, like this and that…”

After telling Bai Ying her plan, Bai Ying immediately crouched down respectfully: “As the Master commands.”

Yan Jue then took out the talisman she had just bought at the Five Dragons Market.

She walked over to Bai Ying and crushed the talisman.

With a crisp “pa-da” sound, a faint spiritual energy flashed in the air and slowly attached itself to the white fox.

Immortal Technique: All-Seeing Eye.

This was a very high-level Immortal Technique, somewhat like a “thousand mile eye and favorable-wind ear.” By applying this technique to Bai Ying, whatever Bai Ying saw and wherever she went, Yan Jue would also be able to see.

Yan Jue had bought three talismans storing this technique, which cost her ten high-grade Spirit Stones in total.

Yan Jue felt a small pang of distress, then she let Bai Ying go.

Bai Ying: “Yes.”

Its form flashed.

The previously snow-white fox instantly turned into a tiny fly.

The fly buzzed its wings and slowly flew out.

That night, Chu Fu, as usual, came to the cave dwelling where the Devil Lord of the Severed Soul Mountain resided.

However, this time, he didn’t notice that something had changed.

A tiny fly was perched on him, entering the cave with him.

Although Yan Jue had learned about the Devil Lord’s hiding place in the Severed Soul Mountain from the novel, seeing it in person now still made her heart tremble.

The cave was dimly lit.

The air was filled with a thick smell of decay. The passage in front was initially very narrow, but slowly became wider later on.

Yan Jue sat cross-legged on the bed and clearly saw the scene before her, which made her frown.

What came into view was a waterfall, and faintly visible behind the water curtain was a human figure.

The Devil Lord.

In the novel plot, according to Yan Jue’s memory, there were two Devil Lords in this world.

One was the Devil Lord of the Severed Soul Mountain, who was hiding in the cave on the cliff of Five Dragons Mountain.

The other was the Devil Lord of the Valley of Despair, currently hiding in the White Chalk Mountain area.

Both of these Devil Lords eventually met a terrible end, replaced by the male protagonist who, disillusioned with the righteous immortal sects, led the female protagonist into the demonic path and destroyed the entire Five Dragons Mountain.

In other words, in the original plot, the one who eventually descended into the demonic path and started the mass killing was also the male protagonist, and the Devil Lord of the Severed Soul Mountain merely played a supporting role from beginning to end. His biggest function was to provide the male protagonist with various opportunities in the early stages.

“…”

Chu Fu and the Devil Lord of the Severed Soul Mountain seemed to have very little interaction.

Chu Fu simply placed the food basket he was holding on the ground, and the live creatures inside the basket were sucked in by the Devil Lord.

Because Bai Ying had the All-Seeing Eye technique applied to her, Yan Jue could perceive all of the white fox’s senses very clearly.

The smell of blood in the cave grew even thicker.

Yan Jue: “Can you fly inside?”

Yan Jue was a bit hesitant, as it was truly too dangerous for Bai Ying. What if she was discovered by the Devil Lord? Although the Devil Lord was very weak now, dealing with a white fox that couldn’t even transform back into human form would still be easy.

To Yan Jue’s surprise.

The white fox softly answered “Yes” and flew directly into the water curtain.

What slightly reassured Yan Jue was that the Devil Lord’s strength was indeed very weak right now, and her divine sense was not strong, so she didn’t discover the white fox, which had turned into a fly.

Then, Yan Jue saw the Devil Lord’s face behind the water curtain.

She was sitting on the bed and couldn’t help but gasp.

The Devil Lord was hunched over, with white hair, sitting behind the water curtain, and every breath she exhaled was extremely heavy.

That face, it couldn’t be called a human face anymore…

Half of it was rotten, while the other half was normal, and the left pupil glowed with an eerie red light.

Yan Jue suddenly noticed something and widened her eyes.

What the Devil Lord was sitting on.

The object was circular, and it was actually an… egg.

After bringing the white fox back to the dorm, Yan Jue spent every day in the room learning charm techniques with the white fox.

Yan Jue believed that Bai Ying’s cultivation must be higher than her own.

A demon capable of forming a demon core should at least be at the Fifth Realm level, but Bai Ying’s cultivation had severely dropped because she was injured, making her temporarily unable to take human form.

Bai Ying was very generous, teaching Yan Jue all her self-defense skills without reservation.

After ten days, Yan Jue had already skillfully mastered the most basic mental control aspect of the charm techniques.

On a sunny afternoon, Yan Jue and Bai Ying sat opposite each other in the room.

White Fox: “If the Master learns all of my charm techniques, you will surely capture the heart of your beloved.”

Yan Jue actually didn’t want to learn the charm techniques that made people weak and numb, and now that she had learned mental control, she didn’t want to learn anymore.

However, the white fox was too enthusiastic and shared many little tips on how to interact with people.

White Fox: “You know that girls all love fluffy little animals, right?”

Yan Jue choked a bit: “Yes, I know.”

Like Qi Xianqing.

White Fox: “When she is doing something, like reading a book, rest your chin on her leg and use your nose to nudge her hand.”

Yan Jue: “…And then?”

White Fox: “Then she won’t be able to resist petting you.”

Yan Jue rolled her eyes: “And then?”

White Fox: “Then you’ll take up all her hands, and she won’t be able to spare them for anything else.”

Yan Jue: “…”

You win.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Jue glanced at Bai Ying, and the white fox immediately turned into a golden flash of light, becoming a bracelet with a white jade pendant, tied to Yan Jue’s wrist.

Yan Jue opened the door and saw Du Ming standing there, his face full of excitement: “What’s wrong?”

Du Ming: “Yan Jue, hurry up, today is the registration day for the Five Dragons Summit!”

Yan Jue: “I don’t plan to participate.”

Du Ming: “Come on, it’s about participation, you can’t be so unenthusiastic. It’s mainly just to have some fun. You should be at the middle stage of Illumination now, right? It would be a shame not to participate.”

Yan Jue: “…”

She wasn’t at the middle stage of Illumination; she was already at the initial stage of Fusion.

Du Ming: “And do you know? The magic weapon for winning this competition is the Immortal Sword ‘Flowing Ice’! That’s the twin sword to Senior Sister’s Immortal Sword ‘Candle Shadow’! Even if you don’t want to win yourself, you shouldn’t let others snatch the sword away!”

Hearing the two words “Flowing Ice,” Yan Jue frowned slightly.

The image of Qi Xianqing, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, couldn’t help but surface in her mind.

“Besides, this summit’s rewards aren’t just the Immortal Sword for first place. They also have prizes set for second and third place. And there’s a ‘Courage Award,’ with the highest bonus reaching one thousand high-grade Spirit Stones! This is unprecedented! Look how humanitarian they are!”

Du Ming’s words made Yan Jue fall into contemplation.
