The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 63

“Me?” Jiang Luoyue pointed to herself, stunned. She looked left and right at Jiang Luoxing and Lin Xi to make sure the Divine Beasts were actually looking at her. Once confirmed, she fell into a bewildered silence.

“What, you don’t want to?” the Azure Dragon asked, his massive body coiled in the air. “Don’t you desire to become strong?”

“I just feel quite ordinary. I don’t understand why…” Jiang Luoyue gave an awkward smile.

“Why would someone capable of reaching this place consider themselves ordinary?” the Azure Dragon chuckled softly.

“It’s fine. Since the little turtle is accepting its inheritance anyway, you should go too, Luoyue. We’ll wait for you,” Lin Xi said with a supportive smile.

In truth, Lin Xi found it strange as well. If the Four Divine Beasts were passing on an inheritance, why wasn’t he chosen? He carried the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, whereas Luoyue was clearly a human cultivator.

Jiang Luoyue sat cross-legged. The Four Divine Beasts surrounded her, though the Vermilion Bird seemed quite reluctant to pull away from the little turtle. Jiang Luoyue couldn’t help but snicker—who knew the legendary Vermilion Bird had such “house-husband” energy and a soft spot for babies?

As Jiang Luoyue began the ritual, Lin Xi and Jiang Luoxing sat nearby, meditating in silence to protect her.

They remained inside for seven full days. Outside the Secret Realm, Li Changting clutched his alchemy furnace, waiting piteously.

“What did that little turtle encounter in there? Why have they been gone so long?” Li Changting asked Wenwu, who was keeping him company.

Wenwu frowned. He was also worried, but he shared a life-link with Lin Xi. If Lin Xi’s life were in danger, the jade tablet in Wenwu’s possession would shatter, allowing him to teleport to his master instantly.

“They should be fine. Perhaps they are simply occupied,” Wenwu explained. Li Changting nodded anxiously.

When Jiang Luoyue finally opened her eyes, Lin Xi, Jiang Luoxing, and the little Xuanwu (now resting in Luoxing’s arms) were all staring at her.

Jiang Luoyue jumped. “What is it?”

“The Four Divine Beasts said you finished the inheritance, and then they vanished,” Lin Xi said.

The little Xuanwu covered its face with its paws. “I only woke up in time to see the last of them. Wuuu… it was the first time I ever saw my elders.”

The little turtle had been in its egg since that ancient secret realm; it had lived a solitary life until Jiang Luoyue found it. Since the Divine Beasts had long been extinct, those phantoms were its only connection to its kin.

Jiang Luoyue felt a surge of immense power. She raised her hand and tossed a massive fireball into the air; with a wave of her other hand, a giant water dragon materialized, which was promptly encased in solid ice.

“Is this the power they gave you?” Lin Xi could feel the staggering pressure.

“Yes, and that was only a tenth of it,” Jiang Luoyue said. The spiritual energy within her was like a vast ocean. She had only meant to test the waters, but the result was far beyond her expectations.

Lin Xi and Jiang Luoxing were speechless. The little Xuanwu cheered, “Oh my god! Pretty Sister is so amazing!”

Jiang Luoyue smiled. “Furthermore, the power of the Divine Beasts has the natural ability to suppress other beasts. We won’t have to fear powerful spirit beasts anymore.”

The little Xuanwu waved its paws excitedly. “Then Sister, let’s form a contract!”

“Alright.” Jiang Luoyue nodded and established a Life-and-Death Pact with the little Xuanwu, binding their fates together forever.

“Sister, why a Life-and-Death Pact?” the turtle asked, surprised. “I thought you’d use a Master-Servant bond.”

Usually, cultivators preferred the Master-Servant bond, where the death of the beast doesn’t affect the master. A Life-and-Death Pact implied absolute equality. Considering the turtle was a Divine Beast, such a gesture was almost unheard of.

“It doesn’t matter,” Jiang Luoyue smiled. “As long as we stay together.”

“Mhm! I’m at the Nascent Soul stage now, and my shell is super strong!” the little Xuanwu boasted.

“Senior Xuanwu gave me the remaining cultivation from his lingering consciousness. I’m still too small to use it all,” it added, scratching its head with a paw. “But I’ll get stronger and stronger!”

“Sister, have you thought of a name for me?” it asked. “The Ancestor said you would give me one.”

“Well…” Jiang Luoyue admitted she wasn’t great at naming things. She thought for a long moment. “How about Fuxia (Floating Reverie)?”

“Fuxia?” The little turtle repeated the name. “It sounds beautiful! I love the name Sister gave me!” It wagged its short little tail happily.

The group finally left the Secret Realm. Upon their return, Wenwu rushed to meet them. Seeing the lively little turtle in Jiang Luoxing’s arms, he sighed in relief.

“My King, you’ve been gone so long. Master Li and I were very worried,” Wenwu said.

“It was worth it,” Lin Xi said cheerfully. “The little turtle is a Xuanwu, and Luoyue received the Divine Beast inheritance.”

Wenwu was stunned. How could a human receive such a thing? Truthfully, Wenwu and Wenqing had struggled to accept Jiang Luoyue as their master’s partner. In the fox tribe, monogamy was the law—how could they accept their King sharing a wife? But seeing her power now, Wenwu looked at her with newfound respect.

Jiang Luoyue felt his gaze and coughed. “I’m going to go check on Senior Brother Li.”

She took Fuxia from Luoxing and headed to Li Changting’s room, knocking with three storage bags in her hand.

“Senior Brother, I’m back!”

The sound of things crashing came from inside, and Li Changting threw the door open. “Junior Sister! You’re back?” His eyes shone with relief.

“Mhm, and I brought Fuxia,” she said, holding up the little turtle. “That’s the name I gave him. He’s a Xuanwu—the last Divine Beast in the world.”

“A Divine Beast!” Li Changting gasped, staring at Fuxia, who tilted its head up proudly.
