The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 154: Returning Home

It had probably been too long since they last saw each other. Yan Jue felt as though there was an endless amount of things to say between her and Qi Xianqing.

Yan Jue and Qi Xianqing both showed each other the progress they had made in their cultivation over the past year.

This year, while in the Ghost Mansion, she had not only been handling heaps of official documents but had also often been in seclusion to focus on her cultivation.

Her control over ice, combined with the Demon God's Secret Art, had reached perfection.

Yan Jue reached down and picked up a small stone from the ground. A soft "crack" echoed through the air, and the stone in her hand had already been covered in a layer of frost.

Yan Jue smiled and looked at Qi Xianqing. "How's that? Impressive, right?"

Qi Xianqing smiled back, her eyes warm. "Junior sister, you're amazing."

Yan Jue beamed with happiness.

Qi Xianqing, equally patient, began to tell Yan Jue all that had happened in Five Dragon Sect over the past year.

Qi Xianqing: "On that day, during the sword dance at Wujianping, the Sect Leader's physical body was destroyed. The soul of the Demon Lord from the Five Dragon Sect took advantage of the chaos and escaped. It has now been completely burned by the Master using the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire."

"Even if he has immense power, there's no way he can turn things around."

"The Phoenix has left for now. It doesn't plan to return to the Luan Terrace. It says it wants to travel the world."

"I have already given the little Kirin to the Master. After all, it's the divine beast of Five Dragon Sect and needs to be raised by the Spiritual Beast Hall."

Yan Jue sat on a rock beside Qi Xianqing, her long legs hanging down naturally.

While playing with Qi Xianqing's hand, Yan Jue looked out the window at the endless darkness. "So, the only survivor from the Immortal-Demon War is the Demon Lord from the Deadly Valley?"

As she spoke, both of them fell silent for a while.

Qi Xianqing: "We need to remember the lessons from that year. When dealing with the Demon Sect, it's essential to eliminate them all."

Yan Jue nodded in agreement. "Senior Sister is right."

But she couldn't help but wonder, how would the Demon Lord feel upon learning of his companion's death? And when would he appear again?

Qi Xianqing: "Ye Yunying escaped from the Demon Lord and brought back some news."

She paused briefly before continuing, "She said that the Fierce Beast, Qiongqi, will soon appear in the world."

Yan Jue froze, looking up at her.

It had been too long since their separation, and there was much about Qi Xianqing's side that Yan Jue didn't know.

During her absence, Qi Xianqing had been dealing with countless matters.

As Yan Jue thought about it, an uncomfortable feeling rose in her heart. She regretted not staying by Qi Xianqing's side back then and not forming a master-servant contract with her. The mixture of tenderness and regret surged within her, and she tightened her grip on Qi Xianqing's hand.

Qi Xianqing felt the force in her grasp and chuckled. "Why are you upset, Ah Jue? I haven't hidden anything from you or gotten involved with anyone else."
