The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 33: Empty Mountain

Yan Jue had been frequently visiting the Hundred Flowers Valley to collect flower nectar since a month ago.

At first, it was simply to provide food for the ghost fireflies, but later, after discovering that the nectar could also be used to brew tea, she began experimenting with various floral teas.

After all, Yan Jue had always enjoyed tinkering in the kitchen back in the modern world.

The white flower nectar extracted from the Meili flower was not only delicious but also had beauty-enhancing effects.

Thinking that she might not see Qi Xianqing for some time after going down the mountain, she got up early to brew a cup of beauty-enhancing floral tea, sealing it in a thermos to give to Qi Xianqing.

After all the snacks she had eaten from Qi Xianqing this month, she felt a bit guilty.

As for why she had protected Qi Xianqing like a loyal guardian last night... what did it matter to her what the little fox did?

......

Yan Jue bid farewell to Qi Xianqing and returned to her dormitory for a brief nap.

The next day, she set off on the trial road down the mountain.

"Come on, hurry up!" Du Ming urged.

As Yan Jue stepped out of the mountain gate, she felt a distinct wave of spiritual energy surging in her chest, as if something had branded her.

This was her final primary task; completing three primary tasks would allow disciples of the Wulong Sect to leave the mountain freely.

Yan Jue thought that this should be the last time the mountain's restrictions affected her.

After all, it was the last time she would descend the mountain for a task.

Yan Jue and Du Ming reached the foot of the mountain. Before they got close, they noticed two ethereal-looking women standing at the mountain gate.

Both women wore long skirts and had large gourds slung over their backs.

One gourd was green and slightly smaller.

The other gourd was deep purple and larger.

This task was classified as a D-level mission, requiring only 3-4 people.

So the team configuration was mostly the same as the last time Yan Jue had gone on a mission.

There were four of them in total, with a senior sister in the late stage of the Enlightenment realm leading the team.

Then there was another senior sister in the early stage of the Enlightenment realm.

Du Ming was in the early stage of the Enlightenment realm, and there was Yan Jue, who was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

"..."

Although Yan Jue already knew that her cultivation level should have reached the Enlightenment realm from her last mission, she still projected the aura of someone in the Foundation Establishment realm.

So Du Ming didn't think much of it; everyone knew that Yan Jue had been in the mountain for three years and remained in the early Foundation Establishment realm, considered a waste.

Even if she had finally advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, there were rumors that it was merely by chance.

Du Ming filled in the registration form, writing down "middle stage of Foundation Establishment."
