The Cold And Aloof Senior Sister Keeps Flirting With Me - Chapter 83
Cold Pool, Ice Peach Garden.
Yan Jue was sprawled lazily on the bed, her four large tails swishing back and forth. Occasionally, she let out two whimpering sounds because she was too comfortable.
No, it was five tails.
Just now, when Yan Jue returned to the room and transformed back into her Red Fox form, she discovered that another fluffy large tail had grown behind her, though she wasn’t sure when.
She now had five tails.
Even someone as slow to react as Yan Jue realized something was wrong after seeing this tail.
Why are my tails growing more and more…
Yan Jue had read the original novel and knew that the original host was from the Red Fox clan of Ghost Mansion Mountain, possessing an extremely excellent bloodline.
But she really didn’t know if the original host was a Nine Tailed Fox.
Her head was terribly dizzy, and she couldn’t sleep lying on her back, so she came to the Cold Pool Ice Peach Garden.
Yan Jue lay on Qi Xianqing’s bed, the entire fox spread out like a fox cushion, her narrow phoenix eyes squinted.
Qi Xianqing slightly frowned, her fingertips rubbing her fifth small tail, slowly helping to smooth the fur.
The little fox’s back was very sensitive; a slight touch would make the muscle on her back twitch slightly.
Qi Xianqing found it amusing, so her fingertips kneaded the sinews on her back. Yan Jue’s back twitched intensely, so she rolled over, lying on her back. She squinted, kicked her legs, snuggled into Qi Xianqing’s arms, opened her mouth and gently gnawed on Qi Xianqing’s fingers, slowly sucking them.
She didn’t know why, but she seemed exceptionally clingy today.
Yan Jue was already very tired and just wanted to fall asleep quickly.
But Qi Xianqing wouldn’t let her.
She half-hugged the little fox’s soft body, sometimes stroking her tail, sometimes rubbing her ears. She also lifted the little fox’s two small dark paws.
Yan Jue felt extremely comfortable, making a purring sound in her throat, yet also baring her teeth and fiercely growling at Qi Xianqing.
She wanted to sleep.
Qi Xianqing took out the Cuju ball from the box under the bed and gently touched the little fox’s damp nose: “Shall we play, okay?”
Before she finished speaking, Yan Jue immediately scrambled up, her whole body of fur standing up in excitement.
Yan Jue then let out a yawn: “…”
The sudden stand was a purely conditioned reflex.
Qi Xianqing threw the ball outwards, and it traced an arc in the sky. Yan Jue pushed off forcefully with her hind legs, leaping into the air and catching the ball in her mouth.
Qi Xianqing suddenly noticed something and was slightly stunned.
Where the little fox had passed, there seemed to be something dripping onto the ground.
Yan Jue turned her head and noticed Qi Xianqing frowning and observing something.
Following Qi Xianqing’s gaze, her mind went “buzz.”
A few drops of blood had somehow fallen onto the floor.
Yan Jue was completely numb. Qi Xianqing quickly said, “It’s alright.”
She stood up, pulled out a clean handkerchief, and wiped the traces on the floor clean.
Qi Xianqing threw the handkerchief into the waste bin and subconsciously looked up at the little fox sitting there.
The red-furred fox had a graceful physique, and her five tails were fluffy like flames. The fur on her belly was pure white.
Those amber colored, iridescent eyes were staring at her intently, seeming softer than usual.
Qi Xianqing was stunned for a long while, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
No wonder the little fox was so clingy today. The little fox had developed quickly these days she was no longer the tiny fox from their first meeting. To be precise, she was now a big fox.
Spirit Foxes have different types, and the more tails a fox has, the more they resemble humans, with physiological conditions similar to humans.
Yan Jue’s heart pounded erratically. After looking at Qi Xianqing for a while, she immediately spat out the ball and ran to hide under the nearby desk.
What the heck? It wasn’t there before; this happened suddenly.
After cleaning the floor, Qi Xianqing walked over, held her two front paws, and picked her up: “It’s okay, don’t be scared.”
Yan Jue’s cheeks were burning. Fortunately, the thick fur concealed it, preventing Qi Xianqing from noticing the anomaly.
If she had known this would happen today, she wouldn’t have come.
Perhaps every Spirit Fox goes through this, especially since the original host’s bloodline was pure, making her period even more intense. Yan Jue bared her teeth and resisted, but Qi Xianqing still managed to put a pad around the base of her tail.
Yan Jue collapsed on the floor, completely resigned.
Qi Xianqing sat at the desk, flipping through a book, and frowned: “I haven’t researched this before. After a Spirit Fox grows its fifth tail, it signifies complete physiological maturity. Symptoms of heat will then appear, and the precursor to these symptoms is often bleeding.”
Yan Jue: “…”
Enough, enough, don’t say any more.
No wonder she was a bit unable to control her emotions today; so it was her period.
No wonder she felt somewhat carefree when walking outside earlier.
Qi Xianqing squatted down and said gently, “You shouldn’t go out for the time being, alright? It’s very dangerous for you to be outside alone.”
The little fox: “…”
Qi Xianqing rubbed her cold belly and then stood up: “I’ll go make you some red date and ginger soup.”
Yan Jue opened her mouth and howled at her. With a flick of her five large tails, she quickly jumped out the window and ran away.
“…”
Perhaps because of the competition, and with Yun Zhen helping to heal her injuries, Yun Zhen’s spiritual energy was too potent, causing Yan Jue’s body to struggle to cope.
Or perhaps, due to the cursed setting of this novel, Spirit Foxes with five or more tails have an exceptionally long physiological period.
Yan Jue had a low fever as soon as she returned and felt very unwell.
Since she was already out of the competition, she couldn’t be bothered to go to the Five Dragons Square to watch, and instead rested in the dormitory.
Yan Jue was initially afraid that Yun Zhen would make her move dorms, but then Yun Zhen sent a flying crane message saying she had already spoken with the Sovereign of the Water Cloud Sect, Yan Yue, and had successfully transferred her to her care.
Yun Zhen’s letter said that if she genuinely liked the environment of the Water Cloud Sect, she could continue to live there.
Yan Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That afternoon, the sun was just right.
Yan Jue lay in bed, reading the latest issue of the Five Dragons Compendium of All Things.
The Compendium described in detail how Qi Xianqing instantly killed her opponent in a later match within the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea.
In the final match, Qi Xianqing faced Jiang Mengchu, a disciple from the Mu Yin Sect, on the stage.
Jiang Mengchu was also considered an up and coming talent, a very formidable person.
Qi Xianqing used the Immortal Sword “Candle Shadow” to violently destroy her opponent’s protective shield, directly sending her flying.
The entire process lasted less than half a cup of tea’s time.
Yan Jue couldn’t help but recall the promise Qi Xianqing made to her that night.
Yan Jue truly hadn’t expected Qi Xianqing to promise her such a thing.
A better Immortal Sword. Aside from the Immortal Sword “Flowing Ice,” what else could Qi Xianqing possibly give?
Whenever she thought about this, Yan Jue felt uncomfortable all over. The already surging blood flowed even more intensely, and an unusual restlessness welled up in her body.
Yan Jue put down the newspaper, slept for a while longer on the bed, and woke up in the afternoon.
Yan Jue closed her room door and went to the back mountain.
She arrived at the clearing where she had previously planted Spirit Candle Fruit.
Because this land had been struck by lightning during her Thunder Tribulation, it was rich in spiritual energy.
The Spirit Candle Fruit was growing well the few she had replanted were surprisingly already sprouting tiny tender shoots.
Yan Jue leisurely sprinkled Spiritual Marrow Supplement on the soil, watching the little seedlings on the ground grow little by little, gradually turning into Spirit Candle Trees laden with Spirit Candle Fruit.
Yan Jue harvested the plump, crimson Spirit Candle Fruits one by one and placed them into her Qiankun bag.
When Yan Jue returned to the Water Cloud Sect dormitory, she saw Du Ming excitedly running towards her: “Yan Jue! The results of the competition are out.”
Yan Jue’s heart thumped: “Oh?”
Du Ming: “A total of six hundred people participated in this competition, and the top one hundred outer disciples qualified to enter the inner sect! Furthermore, the top three winners of this competition will be sent out by the Sect Master Uncle-Master to complete a mission. This is a tremendous honor; the disciples sent out by the Five Dragons Sect to handle external affairs can be said to be the face of the new generation of the sect.”
Yan Jue slightly frowned: “What is the ranking and how are the rewards distributed?”
Yan Jue hadn’t originally planned to participate in this competition.
If the rewards hadn’t been so generous, she wouldn’t have subjected herself to this suffering.
Du Ming said cheerfully: “I have good news for you~”
“In this competition, Senior Sister still took the top spot, just like last year! The reward she received is the male sword, Flowing Ice, which matches her Immortal Sword Candle Shadow!”
Yan Jue looked at Du Ming, her eyes bright: “What about me? What about me? What is my rank?”
Du Ming rolled her eyes at her: “Listen to me finish. The first place in this competition is Senior Sister, the second is Jiang Mengchu from the Mu Yin Sect, and the third is… you!”
Yan Jue only cared about the reward: “I wonder what the reward for third place is?”
Du Ming: “…You only care about the reward. Aren’t you upset that you missed second place by just a step?”
“The reward for second place this time is the Dharma Treasure Primal Adamant Shield, and the reward for third place is one thousand high grade spirit stones, and you also received the Courage Award, which gets you a gourd containing sixty Spirit Gathering Pills!”
After hearing her speak, Yan Jue couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile.
It was exactly what she wanted! Bai Ying’s Spirit Gathering Pills were about to run out, and this gourd of pills would last her another month.
However, from another perspective, the Sect’s rewards for outstanding disciples this time could be said to be very generous.
It was evident that the high-level officials of the Five Dragons Sect had put in great effort to enhance the sect’s status among the Six Great Immortal Sects.
In the Autumn Garden of the Blazing Fire Sect, the courtyard was deep, shrouded in white clouds.
Qi Xianqing had heard two days ago that Yun Zhen had successfully requested to take Yan Jue under her tutelage.
She was somewhat unsure how to comment.
Her Master was still as unreliable in her actions as ever.
Wasn’t this openly snatching someone?
However, given Master’s casual nature, she usually only provided resources and protection to her disciples, rarely personally teaching divine abilities and spells.
For Yan Jue to enter the Blazing Fire Sect, she could cultivate as she pleased, even with an ice spiritual root.
Venerable Yun Zhen never lacked resources.
Qi Xianqing stood in the courtyard, preoccupied with her thoughts, when she heard Yun Zhen laugh: “The Five Dragons Summit has concluded, and the Immortal Sword ‘Flowing Ice’ belongs to our Blazing Fire Sect once again.”
Qi Xianqing asked: “Is Flowing Ice currently in the Sword Tomb or somewhere else?”
Flowing Ice had been slumbering in the Five Dragons Sect’s Sword Tomb Valley for a thousand years. Normally, if a disciple wanted Flowing Ice, they would have to personally go to the Sword Tomb to retrieve it.
Flowing Ice is an Immortal Sword with a Sword Spirit.
Only if it is willing to leave with you can you take it.
Yun Zhen: “The Five Dragons Sect has already opened the entrance to the Sword Tomb. Why aren’t you going to bond with Flowing Ice quickly?”
Qi Xianqing: “I want to give Flowing Ice to someone.”
Yun Zhen was stunned: “Who?”
Flowing Ice and Candle Shadow are originally a pair of male and female swords. If Qi Xianqing bonded with Flowing Ice, she would henceforth cultivate with dual swords, which is very common in the cultivation world.
The lightning attributed Candle Shadow as the primary, and the ice-attributed Flowing Ice as the auxiliary, could greatly enhance the cultivator’s power.
Because Candle Shadow and Flowing Ice are very close, it might also greatly benefit Qi Xianqing’s cultivation.
Qi Xianqing: “Yan Jue.”
“She cultivates ice-type divine abilities and doesn’t have her own sword yet.”
Yun Zhen asked with interest: “But I already gave her a sword last time, and now you want to give her another one?”
If Yun Zhen hadn’t mentioned it, it would have been fine, but when she did, Qi Xianqing couldn’t help but criticize in her mind: Master, is that really called ‘giving a sword’? Bringing someone to the pavilion and telling them to choose for themselves how is a somewhat normal person supposed to choose?
If she chose something too expensive, how could she justify it on a first meeting? She could only pick an ordinary one.
