Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Sui Si's forehead, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the white fox's body.

Finally, after a moment, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Fortunately, I was just extremely weak and overworked, and I did not suffer any real harm.

He gently stroked the white fox's head, as if to soothe it, or perhaps to comfort himself:

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

Just then, a crisp knock came from outside the door, the sound penetrating the slightly heavy wooden door and echoing inside:

"Master, it is I, Ran Cang."

Sui Si took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, letting his wildly beating heart slowly return to normal, and trying to make his voice sound as calm as possible:

"Come in."

Ran Cang pushed open the door and entered, holding the red fox tightly in her arms.

Upon seeing Sui Si, Ran Cang's eyes reddened slightly, as if they were brimming with tears that could fall at any moment.

She said, looking aggrieved:

"Master, please take a look at it. It's been listless all morning, and it won't respond to me no matter how I call it."

"Is it injured somewhere? The fox looks so listless."

As he spoke, Ran Cang gently shook the red fox in his arms, his voice trembling with tears and full of heartache, as if the one who was injured was not the fox, but his most cherished treasure.

Sui Si carefully placed the white fox on the bed, moving gently, afraid that he might accidentally worsen its injuries.

Then, he took the red fox from Ran Cang's arms, closed his eyes, and slowly injected spiritual power into the red fox's body in the same way.

His expression was focused and serious, scrutinizing every nook and cranny.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, the worry in them fading somewhat, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He said:

"Don't worry, I'm just exhausted. I just need to rest. I was probably too tired last night, that's why I'm like this."

Ran Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down, and responded:

"Oh."

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, his previously dim eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"By the way, Master, Uncle Ji Huan and the others have arrived and are waiting in the front hall. Shall we go and see them?"

Sui Si looked down at the two weak foxes on the bed, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:

"Ok.

Since they're not feeling well today, they'll stay in the dorm to rest and recharge, and won't participate in the competition with us.

The noisy environment of the competition is also detrimental to their recovery.

Ran Cang nodded quickly and said obediently, "Of course I will listen to Master."

"Master is so thoughtful. I've been worried about taking them with me."

Sui Si got up, walked to the bedside, and looked at the two foxes again, his eyes full of worry and reluctance.

He raised his hand and quickly formed hand seals in the air. Streams of light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, an invisible barrier was set up around the entire dormitory.

As he made the arrangements, he explained to Ran Cang:

"To prevent those with ill intentions from making a comeback and causing trouble, I have set up a barrier for them."

This barrier, infused with my spiritual power and unique runes, can resist external disturbances.

He paused, then added confidently:

"Unless those two listless little guys come out on their own, no one in the world can forcibly break this barrier."

Even for cultivators with high spiritual power, breaking this spell would require a great deal of effort.

Ran Cang immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a look of admiration:

"In the disciple's heart, the master is naturally the most powerful in the world!"

With this barrier in place, there will be absolutely no chance of failure.

Those with ill intentions, no matter how hard they try, will never get in.

Sui Si was amused by Ran Cang's appearance, shook his head slightly, and said helplessly:

"You're so sweet-talking."

"Alright, let's go. Don't keep Ji Huan and the others waiting too long."

The two left the room talking and laughing.

Their footsteps gradually faded into the distance, becoming indistinct until they disappeared completely, and the dormitory returned to silence, with only the occasional chirping of birds coming from outside the window.

Little did they know that shortly after they left, the two foxes on the bed, who seemed too weak to move, slowly opened their eyes.

Two furry figures, one white and one red, quietly jumped off the bed.

First, it shook its fur to make it fluffy again, then walked briskly toward the door.

The moment it touched the barrier, it passed through it effortlessly, as if it were empty, without causing the slightest ripple.

Then he disappeared outside the door, leaving only an empty room and the barrier that still emitted a faint light.

Sunlight streamed onto the bluestone path leading to the grand stadium as Sui Si and Ran Cang walked side by side.

Sui Si wore a moon-white robe, the hem of which swayed gently with his steps. The jade inlaid at his waist radiated a warm luster, perfectly complementing his composed demeanor.

Ran Cang, dressed in light blue clothes, looked around the bustling crowd with curious eyes, full of anticipation for the upcoming competition.

From afar, Sui Si spotted Ji Huan.

Ji Huan stood under an ancient ginkgo tree, his black robe fluttering in the wind, the silver cloud patterns embroidered on the hem shimmering in the sunlight.

The mutton-fat jade pendant hanging from his waist was lustrous and translucent, and the soft light reflected off the jade to create a warm halo.

Ji Huan stood upright with a pine-like back, chatting with several young disciples beside him. He wore a kind and gentle smile on his face and gestured from time to time, as if explaining something to his disciples.

"Junior Brother Ji Huan."

Sui Si quickened his pace, stepped forward, and nodded slightly, his face showing a hint of joy at a long-awaited reunion.

Upon hearing the voice, Ji Huan turned around, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. He quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke with great enthusiasm:

"Senior brother, I'm so glad you've arrived! I was worried you might have been delayed on the way."

"Was the journey, traversing mountains and valleys, smooth? Did you encounter any troublesome monsters or evil cultivators?"

Sui Si's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, and he responded gently:

"Everything is fine, the journey was relatively smooth and without any setbacks."

You know, those little troubles are no problem for me.

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, inquiring about the current situation of each other's sects and their cultivation insights.

At that moment, a melodious bell rang out from afar, followed by a loud voice that resonated throughout the entire arena through spiritual energy:

"Fellow cultivators, the grand competition is about to begin. Please take your positions!"

Sui Si and Ji Huan exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly. Neither of them were talkative, and elaborate pleasantries seemed superfluous in the face of their tacit understanding.

So, the two of them, along with Ran Cang, headed towards the viewing area where the Qingyun Sect was located.

The spectator area was already packed with people, with every seat filled.

As soon as Sui Si and the others sat down, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a magnificent brocade robe strode forward from the stage.

He wore a purple-gold crown inlaid with rubies, and his brocade robe was embroidered with runes outlined in gold thread. He held a megaphone that emitted a faint light in his hand. He cleared his throat and began the lengthy hosting process.

"Fellow cultivators from all corners of the world!"

Today, we gather here to celebrate this annual grand event in the cultivation world…

He spoke eloquently about the rules of the competition.

From the preliminary round's group elimination system to the semi-final's points-based advancement system, and finally to the final's one-on-one duel, every detail is explained in detail.

Then, the history of the competition was recounted, from its founding a thousand years ago to select outstanding talents to resist foreign enemies, to its current status as a platform for various schools to exchange skills and demonstrate their strength.

Finally, the significance of the competition was emphasized.

It is not only to promote the overall strength of the cultivation world, but also to maintain peace and stability among the various factions and to enhance friendship through fair competition.

His voice, amplified by a loudspeaker, resonated clearly throughout the entire stadium.

Occasionally, I overheard a casual remark: "..."

So much talk?!
