The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 8

Qi Xianqing asked Yan Jue if she knew how to deal with the man. Yan Jue was actually completely uncertain.

Given the situation just now, how could she dare to ask! She definitely wouldn’t dare ask!

Yan Jue recalled that TV dramas always depicted waking up the culprit and interrogating them first.

Since this man used an artifact from the Demonic Cult, she decided to start her inquiry from there.

Or should she just end the man’s life with a single sword strike?

Yan Jue, originating from the modern era, had never killed anyone, so she chose the former.

She took out a thin rope from her light pink Beginner Qiankun Pouch and tied the man up securely.

Then she went to fetch a basin of water and violently splashed it over the unconscious man.

The man shuddered violently and woke up. He moved his body but gasped in pain due to the severe injuries sustained during the fight.

Yan Jue demanded, “You don’t have many days left to live. You’d better answer honestly whatever I ask, do you hear me!”

As she spoke, she kicked over a nearby chair, her face showing ferocity.

“My lord, my lord, I wished to cultivate the path to immortality since I was young, but alas, my aptitude was mediocre. I accidentally obtained a secret prescription that requires a woman’s heart…” The man recalled being severely injured by a master in the room just now, guessing it must have been the woman before him, and was instantly terrified: “Furthermore, using a woman’s heart as a medicinal guide also has an aphrodisiac effect!”

Yan Jue frowned and asked, “Who told you to cultivate here… Hmm?”

The man trembled all over, “My lord… My lord, I don’t know the reason, but I have been impotent since I was young. I accidentally found this folk remedy in an ancient book, which requires a tiger penis… ox penis… and a woman’s heart mixed into a pill to strengthen the body. Moreover, cultivating with this method can indeed lead to rapid progress, which is why I resorted to this desperate measure. Immortal, Immortal, spare my life!”

Yan Jue frowned and rummaged through his bag, indeed finding several red pills inside.

These pills carried a faint scent of blood, presumably made from women’s hearts.

Yan Jue felt a wave of nausea.

Yan Jue put these pills into her Qiankun Bag. Her peripheral vision suddenly caught the man quietly moving towards the side, trying to reach for the knife.

Yan Jue held the hilt of her sword upright and suddenly slapped down towards the man’s hand: “What are you doing? Still not behaving even when captured?”

Simultaneously, voices could be heard from the hallway.

“It’s almost the end of the year, Ke Mei, we must hurry up and complete more missions to earn contribution points after finishing the beginner tasks. This time, let’s strive to enter the top two hundred in the sect!”

“I didn’t see this mission when I visited the Steward’s Hall before. I wonder why it’s available again. It must be that a fellow disciple who executed the mission before failed, so the mission returned to the Steward’s Hall,” the girl’s eyes glittered faintly: “This is great! After completing this mission, we can officially go out for field experience!”

“But I remember asking, didn’t the Steward’s Hall ask the Senior Sister to clean up this mess…”

“You don’t know, Senior Sister is very busy. With her cultivation level, it’s better for her to take on missions in the Manifestation Realm rather than wasting time on trash tasks like this, doing thankless work.”

“Brothels are truly disgusting. I refuse to stay here!”

Yan Jue was interrogating the culprit when the door was suddenly kicked open.

Yan Jue turned around to see a man and a woman, both wearing Daoist robes of jise (a shade of blue-green/cyan), stepping in.

The man was broad-shouldered and tall, full of high spirits.

Beside him stood a petite woman, who slightly widened her eyes upon seeing the man at Yan Jue’s feet. She held up a scroll and compared them: “Senior Brother, is this the man we are supposed to catch?”

Li Hao frowned: “Yes, but…”

Why was he tied up?

Yan Jue couldn’t help but feel embarrassed seeing these two.

Five Dragon Mountain’s Steward’s Hall stipulated a mission deadline of one month. If the time expired, the mission would automatically be deemed a failure, and new cultivators would be recruited to go down the mountain.

Although she had just sent a letter via spirit pigeon to the Steward’s Hall requesting an extension, it seemed they hadn’t received it yet based on the current situation.

It wasn’t a major issue, though; she could still receive the reward by explaining the situation to the hall with the mission result.

However, Yan Jue hadn’t expected that around the end of the year, such beginner missions would be so sought after, attracting two groups in such a short time.

It was one thing to have Qi Xianqing arrive earlier, but the two standing before her now did not look like kind people in Yan Jue’s eyes.

With this thought, Yan Jue looked up and smiled politely: “I’m sorry, but I have already apprehended this person.”

As soon as her words fell, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Li Hao and Junior Sister Ke Shuang were both disciples of the Golden Gang Sect, sent down the mountain today to complete a sect beginner mission.

This location was not far from Five Dragon Mountain, so they could easily complete the mission and switch over via a quick letter. However, this was the easiest mission they had chosen among thousands of beginner missions, and the reward was quite generous; they were unwilling to hand over the hard-won prize to someone else.

Li Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Yan Jue’s face with a frown: “There’s such a claim? We accepted this mission.”

Yan Jue politely explained the complexity of the mission to them. Because the perverted murderer’s cultivation level was higher than recorded on the talisman, she was forced to remain undercover in the brothel for a month.

Yan Jue apologized: “I’m sorry, the situation is just…”

Li Hao impatiently interrupted her: “Enough, enough, we get it. No matter what, you release him now, and we’ll capture him ourselves!”

Saying that, he suddenly drew the sword at his waist and cut the ropes binding the man’s hands.

Yan Jue stared at him in shock and blurted out: “Be careful!”

Before the words even faded, the man suddenly leaped up from the ground like lightning and lunged towards the Junior Sister Ke Shuang standing beside Li Hao.

That extremely sinister long saber was still on the ground, its edge sharpened by years of grinding, making it incredibly keen.

One cut could take a heart. The man only sneered and beckoned, and the long saber, as if possessing sentience, flew into his hand.

Li Hao froze. He could barely see the man’s movements. By the time he reacted, the iron saber was only an inch away from Junior Sister’s chest.

“Ah” Ke Shuang was paralyzed with fear and let out a heartbreaking scream.

Among everyone present, the only one prepared for the man’s lightning-fast attack was probably Yan Jue.

Almost the moment the man broke free from his bonds, she chanted an incantation and summoned the iron sword from her Qiankun Pouch, lifting it with all her might.

The iron sword was incomparably sharp, and in an instant, it pierced the man’s chest.

The man’s movement abruptly stopped. Still holding the long saber, he staggered a few steps and collapsed.

The room fell into a dead silence once again.

Ke Shuang sat on the ground, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and Li Hao’s face was pale.

Both of them were disciples who hadn’t even completed a beginner mission before and had never witnessed such a scene.

Yan Jue’s hands were also trembling.

After all, she was a modern person and had never encountered a situation like this.

Yan Jue held the iron sword, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and suddenly felt the urge to vomit.

She slowly squatted down and felt beneath the man’s nose with her hand.

No breath.

At the same time, the wooden tablet in her embrace suddenly vibrated.

A faint stream of spiritual energy surged within the tablet. It seemed that when she killed the pervert just now, a wisp of the pervert’s residual soul had automatically entered her mission token.

This was the proof of her mission completion.

Yan Jue: “…”

Yan Jue’s face turned pale, and she turned to leave.

Since the mission was complete, there was no need to stay here.

Li Hao, who had been stunned in place, instantly reacted when he saw Yan Jue turning away, his eyes bloodshot: “You killed our person?”

Yan Jue turned back: “I’m sorry, the situation was extremely urgent just now. That long saber is an yin-evil object; as long as it leaves even a tiny wound on a person, it will drain the person’s yin…”

Li Hao became enraged. He raised both hands and instantly summoned a giant silver sword: “Enough nonsense! Cut off one of your arms as compensation!”

The giant sword tore through the air, seemingly carrying the weight of a thousand mountains, and plunged deeply into the floorboards.

Yan Jue looked at Li Hao, the smile on her face gradually collapsing. She cursed inwardly.

She felt the terror of the cultivation world once again: here, the strong truly ruled. Those with weak cultivation, even if they were in the right, were not allowed to make the slightest sound.

Judging by Li Hao’s cultivation, he was at least in the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm; she definitely couldn’t beat him.

The silver sword tore through the air, and Yan Jue violently retreated a step, resting her hand on the windowsill, then jumped out the window.

Yan Jue did not have an inherently good temper. She had maintained a smile earlier because she didn’t want to provoke these two people who looked stronger than her.

With her weak cultivation, facing such a situation, running was the only option!

Yan Jue ran quickly in front, while the silver sword chased behind, emitting a piercing screech as it cut through the air.

Disciples of the Five Dragon Sect primarily cultivated swordsmanship, and those with excellent aptitude were even qualified to enter the Sword Tomb Valley to draw swords.

The swords inside were extremely precious immortal swords.

And the silver sword behind her, even the slight killing intent leaking from it made Yan Jue’s scalp tingle.

It was likely a renowned immortal sword meant to slay demons and evil!

The silver sword might have sensed the trace of demonic energy Yan Jue emitted while fleeing, trembling excitedly in the air, and tearing through the sky with overwhelming force.

Yan Jue turned and ran into the forest, felt a weight on her shoulder, followed by intense pain.

She must have been caught by the sword.

The silver sword descended from the sky, plunging down violently. The surrounding earth shook fiercely, and a faint halo appeared around them.

Yan Jue was thrown violently, rolled on the ground, and her iron sword was knocked a zhang (about 3.3 meters) away.

Yan Jue raised her hand to press against the collar on her chest, breathing heavily.

Even immortal swords could sense their master’s will, and the reason this silver sword possessed such intense killing intent was likely due to Li Hao’s anger.

The silver sword descended from the air again, violently stabbing into Yan Jue’s shoulder blade.

Blood splattered everywhere for a moment!

Yan Jue gritted her teeth, trying to crawl towards her iron sword.

The only way now was to grab the iron sword to block.

But it was too late!

The silver sword let out a dragon’s roar and crazily attacked again.

Almost instinctively, Yan Jue silently recited the Tongling Art (Spirit Summoning Art), placing all her hope for survival on the iron sword lying quietly in the grass in the distance.

One breath… two breaths… three breaths…

The silver sword in the distance remained motionless.

Fine, born as cannon fodder, dying as mediocre. Yan Jue felt like crying.

Perhaps until her death, she would never master the most basic Spirit Summoning technique of cultivators.

The silver sword fiercely stabbed towards her!

Yan Jue closed her eyes and suddenly felt her neck go light.

She seemed to hear dragon roars and phoenix cries near her ears!

The golden collar on her neck appeared to have sensed its master’s will, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light that shot out.

At the same time, the silver sword tore through the air, stabbing directly towards Yan Jue.

The golden threads violently collided with it in mid-air, emitting a deafening sound.

Then, like a golden snake, it quickly coiled around the silver giant sword, loop after loop.

Yan Jue was stunned. The silver sword roared fiercely in front of it, seemingly struggling intensely.

Then the next second, it was wrenched into two halves by the Demon Locking Ring!
