Yanjue stared blankly at Qi Xianqing, and in that instant, she felt a familiar aura emanating from her.

An invisible pressure.

It was a righteous aura that made all demons and monsters tremble in fear, carrying a heavy sense of oppression.

Yanjue couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine.

Perhaps during their time apart, Qi Xianqing's cultivation had improved, and this oppressive feeling had intensified.

Qi Xianqing had killed more demons.

That was the first thought that popped into Yanjue's mind.

Having not interacted with Qi Xianqing's celestial spirit body for a long time, along with the faint scent of blood in the air, even from a distance, Yanjue could not ignore it.

She swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on her forehead, her hidden hand in her sleeve clenching into a fist.

The moment Yanjue saw Qi Xianqing, her heart raced suddenly; she was overwhelmed with the excitement of reunion. If she had two long tails trailing behind her, they would probably be wagging wildly by now.

"......"

Yanjue lightly tapped her toes on the ground and, in an instant, appeared in front of Qi Xianqing, showing her a sweet smile: "Senior Sister, long time no see."

Her movements were so graceful and natural, her pleated skirt of bright coral red rustled in the wind, her skin as white as snow, exuding youthful vigor with red lips and white teeth.

A hint of barely perceptible surprise flickered in Qi Xianqing's eyes.

"Long time no see," Qi Xianqing averted her gaze and replied blandly.

"......"

It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Yanjue's head.

Qi Xianqing was too cold; even with Yanjue's enthusiastic nature, she felt a bit awkward at this moment.

Yanjue forced herself to ignore the pleasant scent coming from Qi Xianqing, lifting her head to glance at the nearby "ghost fireflies" and asked curiously, "Before I descended the mountain, I released a few ghost fireflies by the Cold Pool. Why have they changed like this upon my return?"

She knew that Qi Xianqing was aware of her releasing the ghost fireflies, so she asked directly.

The insects floating by the Cold Pool now were larger in size and much more vibrant in color than the ghost fireflies.

Yanjue was certain that her ghost fireflies were neither of this size nor color.

Qi Xianqing looked at her for a moment, cleared her throat, and replied, "After you left, Chu Shidi came again."

Yanjue: "Ah?"

Qi Xianqing: "He practiced a sword technique specifically designed to counter ghost fireflies and severed all seven of yours. I was worried he would practice here, so I released the thunder light insects."

Yanjue: "......"

Qi Xianqing gazed expressionlessly into the distance, and the small thunder light insect that had been circling above suddenly flew down and landed on her shoulder.

In the sunlight, it shone with a dazzling indigo hue, faintly crackling with noise.

This woman.

Yanjue didn't know how to criticize her anymore. On the surface, she was so gentle and polite, patiently answering all of Chu Fu's questions, while internally, she must have been annoyed by him, laughing inside.
