The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 102: Fear

Yan Jue was momentarily stunned, not quite processing what San Niang meant.

Lu Yanshuang didn't find this surprising; after all, the princess had left Gui Fu when she was quite young, so not knowing certain things was understandable.

Patiently, Lu Yanshuang began explaining some of the physiological characteristics unique to fox spirits. Like all other canines, fox spirits also go through a mating season.

And during this time... well, certain things happen.

Yan Jue's ears burned red instantly. No wonder she had felt inexplicably drowsy recently—it all made sense now.

She'd thought fox spirits only had ordinary cycles.

Lu Yanshuang continued, "In any case, the mating season can be rather uncomfortable. It's not unusual to attract a crowd of male foxes, so be careful."

Yan Jue listened carefully, frowning slightly. "Is there a way to deal with it?"

Lu Yanshuang replied, "Ideally, you'd find someone with strong yang energy to help alleviate the effects."

As she said this, her expression darkened slightly.

"But that's only a thought. With tensions so high between the demons and the celestial sects, it's best for us to keep a low profile. It's risky to involve mortals—they'll only give those sects more ammunition against the fox clan."

"Humans, after all, guard their yang energy as fiercely as their lives; they'd never give it up easily."

Yan Jue was silent for a long while.

Recently, she'd been having dreams, recurring visions of the same person.

Dreaming about Qi Xianqing during the most vulnerable time for a fox spirit was... not exactly ideal.

Noticing her embarrassment, Lu Yanshuang didn't press the matter. After all, the princess was still quite young.

When Yan Jue was little, she had been very attached to San Niang, but as she grew older, there had been little interaction between them. Inevitably, children grow up and start rebelling.

Back then, when Yan Jue had run off with that boy from the Chu family, San Niang was the first to object, but still, the girl had left with a human.

Lu Yanshuang chatted with Yan Jue a bit more.

Yan Jue responded with polite answers, silently marveling at the original Yan Jue's luck. The fox clan elders seemed to dote on her quite a bit.

It was just a shame that she'd let them down.

Yan Jue said little throughout, and Lu Yanshuang, used to the taciturn girl, did most of the talking.

Switching topics, Lu Yanshuang asked, "What cultivation stage are you at now?"

"I'm in the fifth stage, the yaodan realm."

Lu Yanshuang looked pleased, genuinely surprised. Everyone knew that Yan Jue had been a mischief-maker, barely literate, let alone interested in advancing her cultivation. But it seemed that leaving home had changed her.

Sometimes, a bit of independence does wonders.

Lu Yanshuang took out an object from her storage ring and handed it to Yan Jue.

Yan Jue blinked in surprise.

It was a jade stone emitting a gentle, chilly aura.

In the dim candlelight, the jade stone glowed a moon-like white, with wisps of mist curling inside.
