The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 39: Overexertion

Yanjue was hesitant to approach Qi Xianqing, partly due to caution, and partly because she felt uncomfortable.

Previously, she had developed a basic resistance to Qi Xianqing's spirit body, but now that Qi Xianqing had new injuries that hadn't healed, Yanjue could clearly smell the fresh blood on her thanks to her keen sense of smell.

It smelled so good... so appealing...

Yanjue clenched her teeth tightly, standing half a zhang away from Qi Xianqing, her chest sticking out straight, nearly rolling her eyes.

She remembered when she first arrived in this world; every time she saw Qi Xianqing, she couldn't help but kneel.

Now, it was almost the same.

Qi Xianqing quietly observed her for a moment before taking out a roll of gauze from her bag by the shore.

The white gauze was tightly wound around her hand, binding the bloody wound securely.

As a spirit body, Qi Xianqing naturally knew the significant effect her blood had on demon beasts, so she usually took great care.

But this time, she had suffered severe injuries in Jiangnan and had no choice.

Now, it seemed that this little fox not only had spirit but was also quite polite.

Qi Xianqing slowly extended her hand and touched the little fox's head. "It's okay, come here."

The little fox lowered its head and slowly moved closer.

Yanjue's ears drooped, and she closed her eyes.

As she got nearer, the aura of the spirit body remained strong.

Suddenly, the little fox's legs went soft, and it rolled onto the ground, legs in the air.

Qi Xianqing indeed ran into trouble when she came down the mountain this time.

The mission involved collaborating with the Jiangnan Echo Pavilion to solve a bizarre case that had persisted for half a year.

The main issue was that valuable items were frequently disappearing from a wealthy family's home, and at night, eerie wails could be heard from the backyard.

The master suspected that a demon had infiltrated the household, and after Qi Xianqing investigated, she discovered that the challenging case was actually caused by a cat demon.

A pregnant cat demon, residing in the backyard of that wealthy family.

When Qi Xianqing found the cat demon, it had already given birth, and she realized that the "ghostly cries" the master heard every night were actually the playful sounds of the little cat demons. The daily disappearances were due to the mischievous little cat demons sneaking into the backyard to steal things and hide them in their nest.

At first, Qi Xianqing acted as she usually would and violently attacked the demon. The mother cat, enraged at protecting her young, scratched her three times, after which she and the disciples from the Echo Pavilion killed the demon together. All the stolen goods were recovered.

After killing the cat demon, Qi Xianqing was left wondering what to do with the little cat demons that were now orphaned, so she handed them over to the disciples from the Echo Pavilion.

The disciples said they would take the little cat demons to the Beast Control Pavilion for taming.

Qi Xianqing felt troubled inside; the cat demon had never harmed anyone, but they had to kill it because it was a commission from the common people to the celestial sect.
