Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 141

Yan Zhao put away the little golden creature, ensuring it wouldn't be easily seen again. She let out a long breath, feeling like she had solved a major problem. However, since the little golden creature was alive and couldn't be placed in her Qiankun pouch, she tied a rope around it and hung it at her waist.

As a result, Little Black had more time to be outside, and its excitement was evident, making a clanging noise continuously. Yan Zhao pressed down on its lid and threatened, "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you away." Little Black instantly fell silent, not making a sound.

Ren Qingyue subtly curved her eyes and beckoned to Yan Zhao, "A Zhao, come here; Senior Sister will comb your hair."

"Oh!" Yan Zhao obediently complied. This wasn't the first time Ren Qingyue had combed her hair; she skillfully turned her back and found a stone to sit on.

As the wooden comb's teeth sank into her roots, she felt a slight tug, and soon her messy hair was smoothed out, feeling clean and refreshing. Suddenly, Yan Zhao remembered something and said to Ren Qingyue, "I want my hair styled like Senior Sister's!"

The gentle hands that were stroking her hair paused slightly, and then a warm, smiling voice drifted over from behind her shoulder. Ren Qingyue responded with a smile, "Okay."

Before long, her hair was styled. Yan Zhao shook her head and reached up to feel it. Since she couldn't see it herself, she asked Ren Qingyue for confirmation, "Is it the same as Senior Sister's?"

Ren Qingyue's smile was gentle: "Of course."

She had styled a crown for Yan Zhao's hair, adding a green jade hairpin. With the new hairstyle, Yan Zhao's demeanor also changed; she shed a bit of her childishness and gained a youthful vibrancy. Her eyes sparkled, shining like stars, reflecting Ren Qingyue's figure.

Ren Qingyue's brows relaxed as she playfully poked Yan Zhao's nose and generously praised her, "Our A Zhao is becoming more and more beautiful."

Yan Zhao's eyes lit up with joy, "Really?"

Ren Qingyue nodded, "Really."

Yan Zhao immediately smiled broadly and replied, "Senior Sister is beautiful too." Feeling that wasn't enough, she added, "Especially, especially beautiful!"

It felt like a gentle breeze had blown in, stirring Ren Qingyue's clear, lake-like eyes, creating shimmering ripples.

But this fleeting moment didn't last long as Yan Zhao remembered the "flying ginseng" that the cultivators had mentioned earlier, frowning, "All the people have run off; when will we find the thousand-year-old sandalwood ginseng?"

Ren Qingyue snapped back to attention and said to Yan Zhao, "I'll take you to look for it."

With that, she casually formed a hand seal to lock onto the location of the fleeing individuals and led Yan Zhao to chase after them.

These people hadn't run very far. Soon after they left, they encountered an ambush from an outer spirit, scattering their group until only two were left. One was injured, and the other was still battling the outer spirit.

Though the Void Gate had been resealed by the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, the outer spirits bathed in the red moonlight had significantly increased in power. This particular outer spirit was as formidable as one at the Transformation stage.

The cultivator facing it had already figured out the spirit's weakness. While dodging and retreating, he tried to lead it away from his injured companion, continually attempting to strike at its head. He too had attained the Transformation stage, matching the spirit's strength, but unfortunately, he had been injured in his leg.
