Volume 2, Chapter 115 – Master, Which Fox Demon Do You Like?

Qu Qingtang’s face was gentle. “You don’t need to take her words too much to heart.”

“If Song Shixuan’s crimes are confirmed, even Jiang Hongliang won’t be able to expel you from the Lingxiao Sword Sect.”

“Mm.” Song Shiyuan nodded, the expression on her face still showing no change.

She didn’t care at all about what Qu Qingtang said.

Now, Song Shiyuan no longer cared whether or not she could remain in the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Qu Qingtang asked in confusion, “What are you doing now?”

For cultivators, cleaning up was actually very easy.

Song Shiyuan doing it like this, not using any spiritual power and cleaning by hand, was more like a method of punishing disciples who made mistakes in the sect.

Was Song Shiyuan voluntarily punishing herself?

“Master…” Song Shiyuan pressed her lips together slightly, revealing some sorrow in her eyes.

“I’m just… reminiscing about her.”

She smiled bitterly. “As long as I’m in this Fox Palace… I can’t help but think of her…”

“Think of the days I spent with her before…”

“Her demonic power was weak. She couldn’t use magic, so for daily cleaning and chores… she was like this too, like an ordinary person…”

“So, I’m also trying not to use spiritual power, not to employ spells, to do some chores.”

“This way, it’s like I can experience what her daily life was like.”

“I can no longer see her, so I can only use this method…”

Song Shiyuan looked up at Qu Qingtang, the expression on her face becoming more bitter. “Does Master also think I’m too pathetic like this?”

Qu Qingtang’s face remained calm, but inwardly she inexplicably wanted to complain.

This girl… was a romance-brained fool, wasn’t she?!

With this appearance of being completely bewitched by a fox demon, no wonder Liu Funing always looked at her with disapproval.

So, did this kind of romance-brained girl who focused all her thoughts on her partner more easily win the favor of that divine lord?

Besides liking to bring everything under her control, did that divine lord also like this feeling of being wholeheartedly loved by someone?

Was she severely lacking in love?

Although Qu Qingtang kept complaining inwardly, on the surface, she still displayed the image of a gentle master.

“I can understand your feelings.” Qu Qingtang raised her hand and rubbed Song Shiyuan’s head, saying gently, “Because if I were in the same situation as you, I might appear even more pathetic than you.”

“Master…” Song Shiyuan felt warmth in her chest.

At this moment, she thought of what Qu Qingtang had said to her before.

“Is the one Master likes also a fox demon?” Song Shiyuan asked uncertainly.

“Yes.” Qu Qingtang still smiled. She had no intention of hiding it. “It’s just that if those two sword sect masters knew about this, I’m afraid it would cause some unnecessary trouble.”

People from the sword sects had always forbidden their disciples from getting close to fox demons.

As a Sword Sect Venerable Saint, if the fact that Qu Qingtang liked a fox demon became known, Song Shiyuan could imagine the scene.

“Master, I won’t tell anyone about this.” Song Shiyuan said.

Qu Qingtang said, “I know. Shiyuan is a good child.”

“…” Song Shiyuan seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Qu Qingtang saw the hesitation on her face. “You can ask whatever you want to ask. However, this isn’t a good place to talk.”

The two of them were now standing in the center of the courtyard, with no barriers or shields around them. In this situation, the content of their conversation could easily be overheard by others.

Fortunately, they hadn’t spoken loudly just now, so Liu Funing and Huang Xifeng probably didn’t know what they were discussing.

These two sword sect masters probably didn’t have the habit of eavesdropping on others either.

Qu Qingtang and Song Shiyuan went into the room together.

“Here, you don’t need to worry about being overheard by others.” Qu Qingtang said, “If you have any questions, just ask.”

Song Shiyuan bit her lower lip lightly. “Master, as a Venerable Saint, you’re willing to stay at the Fox Palace as a maid. Is it because the fox demon Master likes is in the Fox Palace?”

Qu Qingtang nodded. “Yes.”

She didn’t plan to hide it from Song Shiyuan. On the contrary, she wanted to tell Song Shiyuan about this openly.

Song Shiyuan paused, a trace of complexity flashing in her eyes. “The fox demon who can make even Master fall in love must be very beautiful and noble, right?”

Song Shiyuan found it hard to imagine what kind of fox demon could win the favor of a Venerable Saint.

“Yes, she’s very beautiful.” A smile bloomed on Qu Qingtang’s face. “And her status among the fox clan is indeed very noble.”

“So…” Song Shiyuan hesitated. “The fox Master likes… couldn’t be…”

In the Fox Palace, beautiful in appearance, and with noble status.

Song Shiyuan could only think of one candidate.

Qu Qingtang curved her lips. “Yes, it’s just as you’re thinking.”

“She’s the master of the Fox Palace, the guardian deity of the fox clan, a thorn in the side of the seven great sword sects.”

And also the creator of this small world, the “father figure” of all people in this small world.

Qu Qingtang added inwardly.

“The World-Ending Fox Monarch, Lu Zhuxin.”

“I knew it was her.” Song Shiyuan murmured, her face showing understanding.

Just how much charisma did that Fox Monarch of the fox clan have?

Song Shixuan, in order to get close to her, didn’t hesitate to become a traitor, betraying his own people and the sword sect.

And now, even Qu Qingtang, this Sword Sect Venerable Saint, was willing to stay at the Fox Palace for a year to serve her.

That Fox Monarch of the fox clan was truly formidable.

“So, when Master previously had no choice but to agree to the Fox Monarch’s terms in order to save the surrounded sword sect disciples…” Song Shiyuan looked at Qu Qingtang with a complex expression.

Qu Qingtang knew what Song Shiyuan wanted to ask. She chuckled lightly. “Of course that matter wasn’t false.”

“If the Fox Monarch hadn’t used this as leverage, I would have forcibly brought her back to the Lingxiao Sword Sect rather than staying here to be her maid.”

Song Shiyuan’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit.

After all, Qu Qingtang was still a person of the sword sect. She couldn’t be unclear about such matters.

However, very quickly, Song Shiyuan’s brows knitted together again.

“Master… don’t you like her?” Song Shiyuan asked uncertainly.

“I do.” Qu Qingtang said.

“Then… why do you want to forcibly take her away…” Song Shiyuan’s face carried an indescribable expression.

“It’s precisely because I like her that I want to take her away.” Qu Qingtang said.

“Master…” Song Shiyuan paused. “That Fox Monarch, does she like you?”

Qu Qingtang was silent for a moment, then smiled again. “She said she’s willing to give me a chance, but I need to reflect on my actions first.”

“I knew it…” Song Shiyuan suddenly understood. “Master has never pursued a girl before, right?”

“Heh…” The smile on Qu Qingtang’s face was a bit stiff.

This little girl Song Shiyuan, why was she saying the same thing as Lu Zhuxin?

However, she quickly adjusted her expression, appearing humbly receptive to advice.

“That’s why I came to find you.” She smiled.

Qu Qingtang knew that Lu Zhuxin had been the one to first approach Song Shiyuan.

But Lu Zhuxin’s favorability toward Song Shiyuan was very high. This couldn’t be fake.

She asked, “Little Shiyuan, how did you pursue that little fox demon?”

Song Shiyuan was surprised. She hadn’t expected Qu Qingtang would come to her for this.

“I…” Song Shiyuan’s eyes showed reminiscence.

“Then, I’ll tell Master slowly…”

“Alright.” Qu Qingtang still smiled.
