Volume 2, Chapter 96 – Qu Qingtang

Qu Qingtang was really tall.

Lu Zhuxin had known this from the moment she first saw her.

And now, the closer she got to Qu Qingtang, the more deeply Lu Zhuxin could feel the height difference between them.

Even though Lu Zhuxin had grabbed Qu Qingtang’s collar and forced her to lean down, Lu Zhuxin still had to stand on her tiptoes and crane her neck just to reach her.

Honestly, this position was extremely uncomfortable for Lu Zhuxin.

Moreover, even though Lu Zhuxin was supposed to be the one taking initiative, in this position, it looked more like Qu Qingtang was holding Lu Zhuxin and demanding a kiss.

In fact, that was exactly what Qu Qingtang was doing now.

She didn’t push Lu Zhuxin away, nor did she resist this forceful action. Instead, she actively bent down.

This did indeed make things more convenient for Lu Zhuxin.

Just as Lu Zhuxin was silently calculating the quest time, she heard Qu Qingtang’s spiritual voice transmission.

“Still not pulling away? Little Fox Monarch?”

Pull away my ass, it’s only been less than ten seconds!

Lu Zhuxin transmitted back directly, “What? Is the Immortal Venerable already going back on her word?”

“Or are the Immortal Venerable’s words like water that’s been spilled out, completely meaningless?”

Qu Qingtang’s eyes were open, gazing at the beauty before her at such close proximity, an indescribable color flickering in her pupils.

“So, the obedience Fox Monarch wants is merely two pairs of lips touching?”

Nearly twenty seconds had already passed.

The quest was almost complete.

Lu Zhuxin tugged at Qu Qingtang’s collar, her eyebrows raising slightly.

She also transmitted through spiritual sense, “Otherwise, what does the Immortal Venerable think I would do?”

“Qingtang thought Fox Monarch would have Qingtang do something even more excessive,” Qu Qingtang replied. “To test whether Qingtang is willing to obey.”

“What kind of more excessive things?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

“Like… this…” Qu Qingtang answered.

Lu Zhuxin’s body suddenly stiffened. She felt herself surrounded by a fresh, elegant fragrance.

This scent was somewhat like magnolia?

Wait? Magnolia? This was Qu Qingtang’s scent.

Qu Qingtang! What was she doing?!

Lu Zhuxin released Qu Qingtang’s collar, changing from pulling to pushing.

She wanted to push Qu Qingtang away.

However, at this moment, Qu Qingtang used her height advantage to press down, one hand climbing onto Lu Zhuxin’s back, the other gently supporting the back of Lu Zhuxin’s head.

Lu Zhuxin felt herself losing balance.

Falling into Qu Qingtang’s control.

If not for Qu Qingtang supporting her waist and the back of her head, she might have already toppled backward.

In just an instant, offense and defense reversed.

Lu Zhuxin’s delicate brows knitted together. She sensed something ominous.

Qu Qingtang had already forcefully taken the offensive.

Lu Zhuxin had wanted to resist, but being assaulted by that pleasant scent, she felt her body instantly go soft.

Her lips and teeth loosened, and Qu Qingtang effortlessly conquered her defenses.

This woman’s tongue was so sweet!

This was the first thought in Lu Zhuxin’s mind.

Qu Qingtang and Song Shiyuan gave Lu Zhuxin completely different feelings.

Song Shiyuan was usually like a girl next door, but when she got started, she would become abnormally aggressive, like a fierce wolf.

But Qu Qingtang was completely different. She was much gentler than Song Shiyuan, and wouldn’t charge ahead recklessly like a hothead.

She seemed to care very much about Lu Zhuxin’s feelings.

Even though she was forceful when seizing the initiative, once she truly made intimate contact with Lu Zhuxin, she suddenly became cautious and careful.

Like a child who had the courage to explore but was afraid of being scolded and disliked for making mistakes.

This feeling made Lu Zhuxin feel contradicted.

An aloof Immortal Venerable who stood at the peak of combat power from her first appearance, could she also have a side that made people feel weak and timid?

Was Qu Qingtang this kind of character?

Lu Zhuxin hadn’t written detailed character settings for Qu Qingtang. She understood her far less than Song Shiyuan.

[Time’s up, congratulations Host, quest complete!]

The System’s voice came through.

For some reason, at this moment Lu Zhuxin felt the System was even more excited than she herself was.

Something was wrong, there was a problem!

“Qu Qingtang! Get off me!”

Lu Zhuxin reached out and pushed against Qu Qingtang.

Qu Qingtang straightened up, her eyes and brows lowered slightly.

Sensing the resistance from the person in her arms, Qu Qingtang let go. Only the strands of hair naturally falling by her temples slightly obscured her bright eyes.

Her lowered gaze seemed somewhat sinister.

Freed, Lu Zhuxin felt her body relax. She staggered back a step.

Her limp legs almost couldn’t support her weight.

Lu Zhuxin felt like a drowning fish.

Suffocating and powerless.

Soaked through her entire body.

She pressed her lips together, gazing at Qu Qingtang before her with an indescribable look.

“Does the Immortal Venerable understand? What that action just now means to the fox clan?”

Releasing pure yang energy toward a fox demon, did she really understand what she was doing?

Qu Qingtang lifted her head. She blinked, and that trace of sinister feeling disappeared.

“Qingtang thought this was what Fox Monarch wanted,” Qu Qingtang said. “Moreover, Fox Monarch is beautiful. Qingtang merely went with the flow.”

“It seems Qingtang misunderstood Fox Monarch’s meaning.”

“Did the Immortal Venerable coat her mouth with honey?” The corners of Lu Zhuxin’s mouth twitched.

Hearing this, Qu Qingtang pulled out a bag of pastries. “Before coming, I bought some fox flower pastries in Mingzhao City and ate a few on the way.”

“Fox clan pastries are indeed very sweet.”

Lu Zhuxin had an illusion that when this woman said this, her gaze had subtly swept over Lu Zhuxin’s body.

Lu Zhuxin kept a straight face.

What was with this woman?

“Fox Monarch, what else would you have Qingtang do next?” Qu Qingtang asked with a natural expression.

That contradictory feeling that made Lu Zhuxin uncomfortable during the kiss disappeared. The person before her had returned to how she was when they first met.

Powerful and confident.

This made Lu Zhuxin feel even more discordant.

“Fox Palace is currently in chaos and not convenient for receiving outside guests,” Lu Zhuxin said. “Until Fox Palace is cleaned up, I ask the Immortal Venerable to remain here for now!”

After saying this, Lu Zhuxin turned and left.

Qu Qingtang watched Lu Zhuxin’s departing back, a trace of darkness flashing through her eyes.

“She’s angry? Why?”

In Qu Qingtang’s field of vision, she could see faint blue text.

‘Target Affection -1.’

“Doesn’t she… like those who take initiative?”

…

Lu Zhuxin still kept a straight face.

The System’s voice sounded in her ear again.

[What’s wrong, Host? The heaven-fated female lead has actively delivered herself to your side. Why don’t you seem very happy?]

Happy my ass, hearing your voice.

Lu Zhuxin paused and asked, “Qu Qingtang… is she really a heaven-fated female lead?”

In Lu Zhuxin’s memory, she had even fewer direct descriptions of Qu Qingtang than Huang Shangshang and Liu Funing.

[Host, Qu Qingtang’s fate was personally determined by your own hand.]

[Why would you think she doesn’t count as a heaven-fated female lead?]

Qu Qingtang’s fate?

Lu Zhuxin remembered that she had written a brief outline for the ending of this story.

In the final conclusion, as the strongest person in this small world, Qu Qingtang would offer her primordial yin, allowing the heaven-fated male protagonist to cross that final boundary.

Breaking through the void with martial prowess, ascending to godhood.

This was the ending Lu Zhuxin had set for Qu Qingtang.

However, Lu Zhuxin hadn’t been able to write the story to the end. It had been cut short midway.

So in the original text, descriptions of Qu Qingtang were extremely sparse.
