Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 43. Senior Sister, Please Enlighten Me.
"Junior sister? You've recovered your cultivation?"

Qiu Yuehan frowned and looked at Xia Lianxue.

"Thanks to your good fortune, young master."

Such a quick recovery of cultivation! This old monster certainly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Xia Lianxue said calmly, "I've even gone a step further. I've already entered the Dao, while you haven't yet, Senior Sister. I will suppress my cultivation and have a match with you."

Qiu Yuehan was stunned, staring at Lu Changyuan in disbelief.

My junior sister's progress was a bit slower than mine before, but now she has already broken through!?
Lu Changyuan said helplessly, "Let's stop for a moment and talk about the martial arts competition later. I asked Fairy Yuehan to help me find something in Miaoyu Palace."

Xia Lianxue snorted and didn't say anything.

Qiu Yuehan nodded and said, "I haven't found it. I checked the palace storerooms and there's nothing related to the Drunken Phoenix you mentioned."

Lu Changyuan thought to himself that this made sense. Even he was hearing about the Drunken Red Phoenix for the first time. This thing was a rare and extraordinary object that had only appeared in the last five hundred years, so it was normal that there were no records of it. "What about other places?"

"It's not in the palace's records either, and I asked the old man who looks after the storeroom, but he's never heard of it either."

"That's all."

That’s all?

Is that all?
Lu Changyuan changed the subject: "Your junior sister wanted to kill you back then because she was cursed by Master Hanyi. She has returned this time to settle accounts with Master Hanyi."

"Has Master Hanyi planted a demon in my junior sister?!"

Lu Changyuan said, "You don't believe me?"

Qiu Yuehan recalled that Han Yi Zhenren's unusual mood that day; it was clear he was angry and embarrassed because something hadn't gone his way: "I believe you, but..."

She did trust Xia Lianxue more than Han Yi Zhenren.

So she told the two of them about the current situation in Miaoyu Palace.

"Sir?"

Xia Lianxue turned to look at Lu Changyuan, but Lu Changyuan only said, "Tomorrow we will climb the mountain. Since you have not been stripped of your disciple status, go back and have a good talk with Master Hanyi. If she is not respectable, we will help her to be respectable."

The window was not closed tightly.

It was as if a breeze blew in, imbuing the words "the road is long" with a chilly meaning.

Qiu Yuehan nodded and prepared to leave and return to the mountain.

But she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression strange.

He said to Xia Lianxue, "Junior Sister, could you please step outside for a moment? I have something to discuss with him."

"Sister?"

Xia Lianxue glanced at Lu Changyuan inquiringly, and seeing that Lu Changyuan also looked puzzled, she pushed open the door and went out.

As she prepared to return to Miaoyu Palace, her mind was in turmoil, but with Lu Changyuan by her side, she couldn't easily express it.

The stars are very bright tonight.

The fairy decided to count the stars.

Then think carefully about what exactly happened in the dream you had last night.

Why did Master Han Shui find her in a snowy, icy place? How could an infant possibly survive in such a place?

Under the full moon, countless bright stars twinkled as they had a thousand years ago.

How many stars did you ask me to count last time, young master?

It seems there are 247.

This time, we must count to two hundred and forty-seven.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
inside the room.

Lu Changyuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile, "That's right, I'll remove the magic runes for you, and I'll figure out a way to deal with the Drunken Red Phoenix matter myself."

It seems that Qiu Yuehan is no longer needed.

But Qiu Yuehan suddenly said, "I don't understand!"

She reaped the benefits; the demonic runes could even assist her in cultivating the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique".

Why do we need to untie it?

Anyway, it seems that the old monster on the other side doesn't intend to do anything to her.

"What? You can't bear to part with my magic runes? Or is it that you, Fairy, are used to entrusting your life to others?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Qiu Yuehan said coldly, but the cherry blossom pink on her fair neck was undeniably real.

Even the most aloof fairy has warm and smooth skin.

She turned her head, her smooth hair hanging down like a piece of silk that was irresistible to touch.

Qiu Yuehan made sure the doors and windows were locked before turning back around: "Your magic runes are very useful, so I don't want to remove them."

She should thank me for getting the magic mark implanted in her. Lu Changyuan smiled, shook his head, and then nodded.

He had guessed this would be the case; the aloof female immortal before him couldn't possibly resist the allure of his cultivation technique: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Qiu Yuehan's red lips parted slightly, but she couldn't speak for a long time.

The words stuck in my throat.

She was extremely beautiful. Xia Lianxue's beauty was the gentle beauty of a spring breeze, like a first love next door, while Qiu Yuehan's beauty was different.

Qiu Yuehan's beauty is quite flamboyant, like a water jasmine floating alone in a cold pool. It is a beauty that can be admired from afar but not touched. In addition, she is usually very cold, which makes her seem even more untouchable.

Lu Changyuan asked in confusion, "If you want to keep the magic runes, then why did you come to me?"

Breathe in.

Exhale.

Breathe in.

Qiu Yuehan stammered, "Let's go somewhere else."

"Change a place?"

Lu Changyuan didn't understand Qiu Yuehan's meaning for a moment, until the fairy became a little annoyed with embarrassment: "Move the magic runes to another place, even if it's to the back! It's too easy for people to see them in the front!"

Qiu Yuehan took two steps forward and grabbed Lu Changyuan's shoulder tightly: "Do you know how easy it is for people to see this magic mark on your shoulder? Quickly, move it to another place."

At this moment, Miaoyu's chief disciple was no longer as calm and composed as before; her pretty face turned red and her hands trembled.

She felt that she was always extremely prone to losing her composure in front of Lu Changyuan, as if the ethereal, moonlit Qiu Yuehan, who was single-mindedly focused on sword cultivation, had been hidden away.

Lu Changyuan's expression was strange: "It's not impossible to move you to another place, but it depends on whether you're willing to do so."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you remember how I applied the magic runes to you?"

Qiu Yuehan couldn't help but recall the gentle touch of Lu Changyuan's fingers on her shoulder inside the Cihang Temple. A current seemed to spread from her heart to her limbs, leaving her strangely numb.

The fairy gasped, "You mean...you have to use your hands?"

Her voice trembled slightly.

Her body is still completely untouched.

Lu Changyuan shrugged: "What can we do then? If all else fails, I can remove the magic runes for you and just tap your shoulder."

The demonic runes must never be removed.

Besides the magic runes, what about her new path?
Qiu Yuehan suddenly asked, "What path do you think I should cultivate?"

"The Way of the Mortal World Sword".

"Alright," the fairy said, "use your hands."

The change was so drastic that Lu Changyuan was still in shock.

While we were talking about magic runes, you asked me which path I should choose. After asking, you said something I didn't understand: "Just use your hands."

Lu Changyuan was sitting down when Qiu Yuehan suddenly strode forward, so that Lu Changyuan's head just reached the fairy's chest.

"You can't cast spells through clothes."

His head was now buried in the fairy's belly, and his warm breath penetrated the fairy's light veil, hitting her skin and causing a startling reaction.

Qiu Yuehan used almost all her strength: "You, put it in, quickly find another place, hurry, don't let your junior sister find out!"

She felt dizzy and didn't know when, but she was standing on tiptoe, her slender and elegant legs stretched into lines.

Bang!
The door was suddenly pulled open.

"What didn't let me find out?"

Qiu Yuehan instinctively tried to push Lu Changyuan away, but because Lu Changyuan's hand was right behind her, she bounced into Lu Changyuan's arms instead. Her beautiful hair was then scattered messily over Lu Changyuan's body, making it look like she was throwing herself into his arms.

"What are you doing?"

Xia Lianxue said coldly.

She had no interest in counting stars at all; she swears she was only a little curious, which made her eavesdrop, quite immorally.

OK!

What could possibly be going on? They're secretly being all lovey-dovey behind each other's backs.

Xia Lianxue's small face was as cold as a winter knife, scraping Qiu Yuehan painfully.

"Senior sister? Can you tell me what you're doing?"

Qiu Yuehan propped herself up and hurriedly said, "No, no, it's just that I accidentally went back first!"

She quickly straightened her clothes and rushed out the door.
