The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 103: Never Forget Your Roots

Qi Xianqing had been in closed-door cultivation for several days, which naturally delayed her plans to search for materials for immortality.

On this day, Yan Jue was sitting on her bed, familiarizing herself with her internal spiritual power, when suddenly a very familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Yan Jue's ears perked up.

Having spent so long as a canine creature, she could recognize the identity of someone just by the sound of their footsteps.

For example, Qi Xianqing's footsteps were distinctive—light and slow.

Yan Jue silently listened as the footsteps drew closer, and her lips couldn't help but curl into a slight smile.

She stood up and walked over to the door.

Qi Xianqing, dressed in a white robe, entered the room with her hands behind her back, appearing quite relaxed. "The Sect Master has provided five materials; we have already found the Merman Pearl."

"We have been resting in the mountains for quite some time now. It's time to set off in search of the next material."

Yan Jue cooperated and smiled as she asked, "What does Senior Sister want to find next?"

"The Senior Sister has more experience than I do; I'll follow your lead."

A smile flashed in Qi Xianqing's eyes. "It rained recently, and the Bi Xian Grass has grown. This time, we are heading to the Western Region to find the Bi Xian Grass."

The Sect Master had said that the immortality pill required five ingredients: the Merman Pearl, Xiangjing Grass, Bi Xian Grass, Phoenix Embryo, and Nine-Tailed Fox Heart.

Now that they had the Merman Pearl, only the last four remained.

Yan Jue certainly wouldn't take the initiative to choose the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart. She just hoped Qi Xianqing would continue to ignore that option; after all, Yan Jue had already decided to return to the Ghost Realm and would only accompany Qi Xianqing for one more task before leaving.

Naturally, she wouldn't wait for Qi Xianqing to take her fox demon heart.

Qi Xianqing paused slightly and said slowly, "The Bi Xian Grass grows in the Western Region."

Yan Jue was taken aback.

The Western Region.

For some reason, she felt that there was something strange in Qi Xianqing's tone.

Was there anything wrong?

Yan Jue remembered that in the original story, Qi Xianqing had lived in the Western Region before coming to the mountains.

However, her whole family had been wiped out by demons, and she had been kidnapped by a tiger demon, suffering inhumane torment in the demon's lair.

Qi Xianqing shouldn't have had a very good impression of the Western Region.

Yan Jue: "You..."

Although she knew the plot of the original story, Qi Xianqing had never mentioned this matter before.

So she had to pretend not to know.

Yan Jue sulkily retracted her words and looked at Qi Xianqing.

Qi Xianqing's gaze turned towards the window, and her dark peach blossom eyes suddenly surged with killing intent.

Half a month ago, she had asked her Master for permission to go to the Western Region to kill demons.

This time, she was merely using the search for Bi Xian Grass as a pretext, intending to act as bait to lure the tiger demons.
