The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 121: Secret Realm Exploration

Qi Xianqing looked at the little black ball clinging to Yan Jue's arms and couldn't help but fall into thought.

It was clear that the creature saw Yan Jue as its mother.

Yan Jue gently stroked the black ball's soft fur and awkwardly looked up at Qi Xianqing. "Do you know what this is, Senior Sister?"

Qi Xianqing: "..."

She stepped closer and bent down to observe the black ball.

Although it hadn't opened its eyes, it was still a bit timid. Feeling Qi Xianqing's presence, it trembled and snuggled deeper into Yan Jue's embrace.

Qi Xianqing reached out to pick it up, but the black ball opened its mouth wide and let out a soft, alert squeak, burrowing back into Yan Jue's arms.

Qi Xianqing: "..."

With a clenched jaw, she forced a smile and softly asked, "Why are you afraid of me?"

Yan Jue: "..."

Yan Jue hesitated before replying, "Because you're scary?"

Qi Xianqing stopped smiling, bent down, and despite the black ball's protests, she planted a gentle kiss on Yan Jue's lips.

Yan Jue was caught off guard and froze for a moment.

After displaying such an overtly possessive gesture, Qi Xianqing observed the black ball for a moment before pushing the door open and walking out.

Bingtai Garden was a courtyard with various rooms, including bedrooms and kitchens.

Qi Xianqing entered the kitchen, and Yan Jue followed, still holding the black ball. Although Qi Xianqing's Qiankun bag didn't have much, it contained the basic materials needed. She quickly found some milk cakes to melt down, and a rich milky aroma soon filled the room.

She presented the milk to the black ball, curious to see if it would eat.

The black ball turned its head away, refusing to eat.

Suddenly, Qi Xianqing remembered something. "The other day, we found a bottle of spirit food pills in the treasure pouch. Perhaps that's its food."

Yan Jue had an epiphany and quickly located the spirit food pills, taking one out and placing it in front of the black ball.

The little creature sniffed the pill with its nose, extended its tiny pink tongue, and rolled it in to eat.

Once it consumed the spirit food pill, the previously restless black ball finally settled down, leaning against Yan Jue and drifting off to sleep.

Yan Jue carefully placed it back into her Qiankun bag.

Yan Jue said, "But what will we do when the spirit food pills run out?"

The spirit food pills were extremely precious, meant for feeding spirit beasts. They were rare because both spirit and divine beasts could consume them.

This was quite a rarity.

Some pills might be delicious for spirit beasts but would be ineffective for divine beasts.

Yan Jue wasn't sure whether this little black ball was a divine beast or a spirit beast. If it was the egg the Demon Lord had been incubating, and if the Demon Lord had prepared food for it, Yan Jue felt its true identity was still uncertain.

Considering how precious the spirit food pills were, buying more might raise suspicions about their use.

The supply from the Demon Lord would only last ten days.
