After the yandere fairies were reborn, they all wanted to possess me!

In the days that followed, Su Chen lived a very regular life.

During the day, he practices swordsmanship and cultivates, and occasionally Ling Qianxue "inspects" his body—it really is an inspection, the kind where she uses spiritual power to probe his meridians, although the process is a bit... subtle.

Sleeping on a cold jade ice bed at night and drinking ice spirit milk, his cultivation level steadily improved.

Every few days, Chu Hongxiu would send a message urging him to go to Hongxiu Garden to "cultivate".

Su Chen didn't have much of a solution, mainly because he calmed down after thinking it over carefully!

This is still too risky compared to the Nascent Soul stage...

They would then make up various excuses to avoid it, such as "Master has assigned homework" or "Disciple is currently in seclusion".

After pushing it three times.

Chu Hongxiu... actually came to our door in person!

It was an afternoon.

Su Chen was practicing his swordsmanship atop Snow Moon Peak.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The icy blue sword energy crisscrossed, and although it couldn't yet maintain ten sword energies without dissipating, it could already unleash six or seven consecutive strikes and sustain them for three breaths.

The progress is obvious.

Ling Qianxue stood aside watching, occasionally offering a word of advice: "Be a little more flexible with your wrist," "The spiritual energy output is uneven," "This sword strike was too slow."

Su Chen was deeply engrossed in his practice...

suddenly!

A scorching heat surged forth from afar!

"Junior Sister Ling~, and the little one too~, your senior uncle has come to see you~"

Her alluring, sensual voice echoed across the summit of Snow Moon Peak.

Su Chen's hand trembled, and the sword energy... dissipated with a snap.

He turned his head to look.

Suddenly, a fiery red streak of light appeared on the horizon, hurtling towards them at breakneck speed!

In the blink of an eye, we landed on the summit plaza.

The light dissipated.

Chu Hongxiu stood there with a radiant smile.

Crimson palace dress, barefoot, peach blossom eyes... her gaze immediately fell on Su Chen.

"Little one~ Long time no see~ Did you miss your uncle?"

Su Chen: "..."

He did not want.

I don't want to at all.

Ling Qianxue's face instantly turned cold.

"Chu Hongxiu." She stared at Chu Hongxiu, her voice icy cold. "Who gave you permission to come to my Snow Moon Peak?"

"Oh dear~ Junior sister, why are you being so formal~" Chu Hongxiu swayed her large, pert buttocks as she approached. "Is it not allowed for senior uncle to come and see his junior niece?"

She looked at Su Chen and blinked: "Little guy~ Your senior uncle brought you a 'gift'~"

As she spoke, she took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it over.

"The second-grade elixir, 'Fire Spirit Pill,' is suitable for cultivators with fire-attribute spiritual roots and can increase cultivation speed."

She paused, then added, "Even though you have an ice spirit root... it's good to change things up sometimes~"

Isn't this a direct provocation?

How could Su Chen possibly accept this?

Ling Qianxue... was staring coldly at that bottle of Fire Spirit Pills!

"Take it away," she uttered.

"Junior sister, don't be so heartless~" Chu Hongxiu chuckled, "This was specially made for this little guy by Master~ It took a lot of effort~"

"I said, take it away." Ling Qianxue repeated, her tone... even colder.

The ambient temperature... plummeted!

Frost... began to spread from her center!

Chu Hongxiu raised an eyebrow, and a scorching aura also rose from her body.

The fiery red spiritual energy flowed, melting away all the spreading frost.

The two looked at each other.

The air... seemed to freeze.

Su Chen was caught in the middle, feeling like... an innocent cannon fodder.

"Master...Master Uncle, this gift is too precious, I cannot accept it," he said, forcing himself to speak.

Chu Hongxiu turned to look at him, a hint of grievance flashing in her peach blossom eyes.

"Little guy~ Master specially crafted this for you... and you're just being disrespectful?"

Su Chen: "..."

He can't afford it!

Didn't you see Ling Qianxue's eyes...? They were practically murderous!

It’s just that!

It was absolutely intentional!

"Chu Hongxiu." Ling Qianxue spoke again, and this time... she drew her sword directly.

The ice crystal longsword was drawn, its tip... pointing directly at Chu Hongxiu.

Ling Qianxue's gaze was so cold it seemed to freeze the air itself, and the temperature at the summit of Snow Moon Peak dropped several degrees. Su Chen felt as if his breath was turning into ice crystals.

"Chu Hongxiu." Ling Qianxue repeated, the tip of her sword slightly forward, the meaning was clear!

If we don't leave now, they'll really take action.

Chu Hongxiu's smile faded slightly, but it didn't disappear completely.

Her peach blossom eyes swept over Ling Qianxue, then landed on Su Chen, and finally... stopped on his trembling hand holding the sword.

"Heh..." Chu Hongxiu said softly, her tone carrying an ambiguous meaning, "Junior Sister Ling..."

She paused, then suddenly laughed.

"Your cold, detached approach...is hardly suitable for him?"

"He's still young, his body hasn't fully developed yet. Staying in this icy cave with you all day... I'm afraid even his inner fire will be frozen away, right?"

Ling Qianxue did not respond.

But the sword tip moved forward another half inch.

The air was bitterly cold.

Chu Hongxiu seemed oblivious, and took something else out of her sleeve.

This time it's not a medicinal pill.

It is... a thin booklet.

The cover was dark red, with the words "Fire Spirit Body Tempering Technique" embroidered in gold thread.

"Little guy~" She looked at Su Chen, her tone softening again, "Your senior uncle knows that you are currently cultivating ice-type techniques... but this body tempering technique does not distinguish between attributes."

"Practicing this every day can strengthen your body and replenish your Yang energy."

As she spoke, she handed the booklet to Su Chen.

"It's too cold here at your master's place... Staying here for too long can be bad for your health, your master is doing this for your own good."

"If a boy can't get an erection..."

"That would be..."

Su Chen: "..."

He glanced at the booklet, then at Ling Qianxue's face, which was almost frozen.

No?

What is this?

Is this correct?

Suddenly, Ling Qianxue swept her sword across!

Swish-!

Sword energy crisscrosses!

The booklet in Chu Hongxiu's hand... was instantly cut in two!

The fluttering pages were particularly glaring against the snowy landscape.

"Chu Hongxiu," Ling Qianxue's voice was icy cold, "dare to touch him again... and I'll chop off your hand."

That's too direct.

This made Su Chen a little worried that they were about to start fighting!

But Chu Hongxiu's smile only deepened.

She looked down at the two halves of the booklet on the ground, as if she had achieved her goal.

Then she slowly began to speak:

"Oh, I understand."

"Junior Sister Ling, are you planning to lock him up here... and keep him like a pet?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qianxue's grip on her sword tightened suddenly.

Su Chen could feel... the chill emanating from her body surged instantly!

"Chu Hongxiu!" For the first time, Ling Qianxue's voice carried...anger. "You're courting death!"

Before the words were even finished!

The sword light has arrived!

Swish-! ! !

A streak of icy blue sword energy tore through the air and slashed straight at Chu Hongxiu's face!

Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!

Chu Hongxiu, however, seemed to have expected this.

Her figure swayed slightly, and her whole body... transformed into a fiery red afterimage, drifting backward several feet.

The sword energy missed its mark, striking the ground and leaving a deep icy gash over a foot deep.

"Tsk~" Chu Hongxiu steadied herself, patted her chest, and looked like she was still shaken. "Junior Sister Ling has quite the temper~"

As she spoke, she glanced at Su Chen again.

"Little guy, did you see that?"

"Your master... has quite a temper~"

"What if you upset her someday...maybe..."

She didn't finish speaking.

But the meaning is... quite obvious.

Ling Qianxue didn't say anything more.

She simply... raised her sword.

The second sword, the third sword, the fourth sword...

Sword energy surged like a waterfall! Covering the sky and earth!

The entire summit of Snow Moon Peak was instantly enveloped in icy blue sword light!

Chu Hongxiu's figure weaved through the sword light, her fiery red afterimages flashing left and right, each time managing to dodge the sword energy the instant it reached her.

Their cultivation levels were clearly roughly equal.

Neither can do anything about the other.

but……

The commotion was too great.

The sounds of sword energy clashing and spiritual energy exploding caused the entire Snow Moon Peak to tremble slightly.

Su Chen stood aside, watching with a pounding heart.

This……

With his small frame, what if they accidentally...

The aftershocks are coming!

Wouldn't that be the end of us?

We need to stay far away...

He quietly retreated, intending to go back to the Ice Palace.

But he had only taken two steps back.

"Chen'er".

Ling Qianxue's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"It's okay, don't be afraid!"

Su Chen paused in his steps.

Then he saw... Ling Qianxue suddenly sheath her sword and take half a step back.

Chu Hongxiu also stopped.

The two men stood facing each other, several dozen feet apart.

"Chu Hongxiu," Ling Qianxue spoke slowly, her voice regaining its previous coldness, "What exactly do you want?"

Chu Hongxiu smiled.

"It's me~" She tilted her head, her silvery voice ringing out in the snow, "I just want to take this little guy as my apprentice~"

"He has excellent potential; I like him very much!"

"It's that simple~"

Ling Qianxue remained silent.

After several breaths, she said coldly, "He is mine."

"Yours?" Chu Hongxiu raised an eyebrow. "Junior Sister Ling... the way you say that makes it sound like he's your private property~"

She took two steps forward, the hem of her bright red palace dress dragging across the ice, leaving faint scorch marks.

"He is a human being, not a thing."

"He has his own choices."

"Did you ask him? Does he want to stay here? Does he want to... fix this cold, impersonal path of yours?"

Those words... hit a nerve.

Ling Qianxue tightened her grip on the sword.

She didn't look at Su Chen.

But Su Chen could feel... that she was staring intently at him out of the corner of her eye.

It was as if she was waiting for his answer.

"..."

Su Chen opened his mouth.

I want to say something.

But the words stuck in his throat.

What can he say?

Saying, "Master, I want to learn from you?"

woc!

This is so fake!

Or perhaps, "Master is right"?

Ling Qianxue would probably go crazy on the spot.

Or perhaps it's a case of "I actually want freedom"?

That's probably a mixed doubles match!

No matter what you say, it's wrong.

Therefore, he could only... lower his head.

silence.

Chu Hongxiu smiled.

He was laughing very...smugly.

"See?" she shrugged. "This little guy doesn't dare to say anything now."

"Junior Sister Ling...you've kept him locked up too tightly."

"So intense... he didn't even dare to tell the truth anymore~"

Ling Qianxue did not respond to that.

She simply... suddenly turned around and walked towards Su Chen.

then……

Reach out.

She grabbed his wrist.

Powerful.

It was so big... Su Chen felt like his bones were about to be crushed.

"Let's go back." She pulled Su Chen along and headed towards the Ice Palace.

Never looking back.

Chu Hongxiu stood there, watching the two figures disappear into the distance.

The smug smile on his face gradually faded.

Instead, there was a... complex emotion.

Resentment! Jealousy!

And... a certain determination to succeed.

"Junior Sister Ling..." she said softly, her voice very soft, but... it clearly reached the ears of the two of them.

You can't protect him forever.

"Someday..."

"He will come to me by himself."

Ling Qianxue didn't stop walking.

She just gripped Su Chen's hand even tighter.

"Either you go yourself."

"Or... I'll send you away."

The smile on Chu Hongxiu's face gradually faded.

She squinted at Ling Qianxue.

"Junior Sister Ling... is it worth it to fight me, your senior sister, for the sake of a disciple?"

"He is my disciple." Ling Qianxue's tone was calm, but... it revealed a great degree of possessiveness.

"mine."

"mine!"

"mine!!"

"mine!!!"

Chu Hongxiu remained silent for a few seconds.

Then she actually laughed.

The laugh was... a bit cold.

"it is good."

"very good."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the outside of the peak.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again.

Look back.

He looked at Su Chen.

"Little guy~"

"What my senior master said... will always stand."

"The doors of my Red Sleeve Garden... are always open for you."

Done.

She transformed into a streak of light... and soared into the sky.

Vanished in the blink of an eye.

Snow Moon Peak...

Only Ling Qianxue and Su Chen remained.

And... a mess of frost and scorch marks.

Ling Qianxue sheathed her sword, turned around, and looked at Su Chen.

"From now on..." she stared at him, emphasizing each word, "stay away from her."

Su Chen: "...Yes."

What else can be said about his situation?

Ling Qianxue walked up to him, reached out, and pinched his chin.

"remember."

"You are mine."

"No one... can take it."

She leaned down and gently kissed Su Chen's lips.

Cool. Soft.

Instantly separate.

Su Chen was completely stunned.

This……

This isn't right!

In the game... you need to raise Ling Qianxue's affection level to 95 or higher before you can have this kind of proactive intimate contact!

just now……

Only a few days?!

Ling Qianxue didn't seem to notice anything amiss.

She released her grip, turned around, and walked towards the Ice Palace.

"Keep practicing your sword."

"Today... you are not allowed to rest until you have practiced ten sword energies."

Su Chen: "..."

He touched his lips.

The surface still retains a cool touch and a faint lotus scent.

My mind is a complete mess.

This master...

Really...

no……

You do this...

I'd be tempted!

……

Hongxiuyuan.

When Chu Hongxiu returned, she smashed three vases.

"Ling Qianxue!"

She gritted her teeth, her peach blossom eyes... filled with rage.

"Good! Very good!"

"How dare you try to steal someone from me..."

"Then don't blame me for... being impolite!"

She walked to the dressing table and looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror... a face slightly distorted with anger.

Take a few deep breaths and force yourself to calm down.

then……

She took out a communication talisman and began...writing a letter.

this time.

It's not a pawn for the Enforcement Hall.

But...

To another "person".

Someone who could make Ling Qianxue temporarily "disappear" for a period of time.

"Junior Sister Ling..."

Chu Hongxiu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Weren't you... always looking for the 'Ice Soul Crystal'?"

"Senior sister... I happen to know a place that has it~"

"It's just... a little dangerous~"

"I hope... you'll come back safely~"

After she finished writing the letter, flames rose from her fingertips, burning the talisman to ashes.

The ashes coalesced into a fiery bird, which flew out of the window.

Flying in... a certain direction.

Chu Hongxiu stared in the direction the bird had disappeared, her eyes...deep and unfathomable.

"Little guy..."

"After Ling Qianxue leaves..."

"Uncle-Master, I'll play with you some more~"
