Moreover, Qiu Qingtang is the Demon Emperor, not like those cultivators of the Lower Realm who are in a weak and insignificant stage when being possessed at the beginning of their cultivation.
Besides, the Fox Emperor Qiu Qingtang t in the Heroic Spirit Valley was only a residual soul, so if Qiu Qingtang were really possessed, she wouldn't talk about being flirty so smoothly.
But it's better to be sure.
Thinking this, Qiu Qingtang had already put away her folding fan: "So, Young Master Lu, what brings you here today?"
Her cheeks still had a touch of blush, adorning her pure and shy face, looking charming and lovely like a young girl in her youthful years.
"Saint Lu surely noticed you haven't returned, so he ca to take you back to Taichu Hall～"
"Exactly～ Qing Tang, your ho here is obviously Taichu Hall, yet you spend all your ti with us. Of course, Saint Lu would be worried."
"Now that Saint Lu is done with his tasks, he's here to take you back... "
"Saint Lu, we're not wrong, are we?"
A group of giggling and chattering fox spirits, with tufts of pink fur here and there, surrounded them, leaving Lu Jin'an no opportunity to speak.
Pairs of fox ears and tails swayed in view. Though it's winter, the air was filled with a spring-like fragrance of blooming flowers.
The Qiu Family of Qingqiu, known for being lively and agile.
Especially this group of fox spirits in front of them, unlike the seductive ones Qiu Qingtang saw in the brothel the first ti.
Charming but not gaudy, alluring yet not vulgar.
Lu Jin'an smiled without saying a word, while Qiu Qingtang hurriedly shooed them away with a hint of embarrassnt: "Stop talking nonsense, why are you crowding over here instead of playing around? Young Master Lu is surely here for sothing important, don't speak carelessly... continue playing with your own things."
After saying this, Qiu Qingtang looked at Lu Jin'an again: "Let's talk over here."
The group of fox spirits laughed and made way for Qiu Qingtang and Lu Jin'an, and Qiu Qingtang walked ahead with her head slightly down, tucking her hair behind her ear, lightly pressing her lips together without saying a word.
Lu Jin'an looked at the slightly reddened roots of her ears and her graceful neck; at this mont, Qiu Qingtang really resembled a pure high school girl.
Quite rare.
"Their mouths sure are cheeky." Qiu Qingtang glanced back at Lu Jin'an: "Don't take it to heart."
"I'm more curious about how soone as flirty as you can still get shy at tis like this?"
"It's different when others are teasing compared to saying it myself." Qiu Qingtang scoffed softly: "Isn't it just a microcosm of public opinion?
If a group of people keep saying you're a perfect match with Mu Jianxian, wouldn't you care?"
"Would you?" Lu Jin'an teased.
"I would." Qiu Qingtang stopped by a pond, gently kicked a small pebble into the water, causing ripples, she turned to look at Lu Jin'an, her voice very soft: "I'm a girl, I've never liked anyone else.
Not like you, rich with experience."
Looking at Qiu Qingtang's pink pupils, Lu Jin'an just felt a bit uneasy, not quite used to this innocent, serious flirty fox.
But then again, when this flirty fox talks flirty, it's always one innuendo after another, never directly talking about 'those' things.
From this perspective, her nature indeed aligns with her current state.
Lu Jin'an couldn't help but glance at her a couple more tis, cleared his throat, and looked at the fish swimming due to the pebble in the lake: "This place is quite suitable for fishing."
"Did you bring a fishing rod?"
"Hey, don't I always have one with ?"
Hearing this, Qiu Qingtang blinked, realized in an instant, and raised her hand to smack Lu Jin'an on the shoulder: "You're right, and not just the rod, you also have the line.
It's like that 'silk thread', no need for preparation, you can start fishing right away."
Listening to Qiu Qingtang's smug voice, Lu Jin'an couldn't help but smile, still more accustod to this side of Qiu Qingtang.
And indeed, she definitely hasn't been possessed.
"What can you catch with that 'silk thread'?"
"Let those who are willing be hooked." Qiu Qingtang giggled: "Young Master Lu, want to give it a try?"
Lu Jin'an shook his head, looking around: "This place is kept really clean."
"It's all their doing. I'm not much of a fan." Qiu Qingtang crossed her arms: "Because it gives an urge."
"Hmm?"
"To see sothing clean and want to dirty it, yes." Qiu Qingtang looked at Lu Jin'an, nodding seriously: "Young Master Lu surely understands."
"Haha, I really can't argue with that." Lu Jin'an chuckled and then turned his gaze, seeing a small white dog with a bow tied to its forehead darting out of the woods: "Keeping dogs too?"
"Where? Where?" Qiu Qingtang looked around, then suspiciously at Lu Jin'an: "I don't see such a person."
"..."
Alright, completely sure now that Qiu Qingtang, this flirty fox, hasn't been affected in any way.
If she were possessed, how could she react so quickly and spout innuendo?
"Your flirtiness really has gotten worse." Lu Jin'an remarked.
"Not at all, Young Master Lu is the one who is unfathomable..." Qiu Qingtang humbly waved her hand: "Hmm, that word can't describe you, so let's go with 'well-endowed' instead..."
"Stop." Lu Jin'an hurriedly interrupted her: "Personal suggestion, don't say too much at once, it becos cheap if said too often."
"Cheap?" Qiu Qingtang disagreed: "Even if it's precious, I'd still keep saying it, love and money don't equate."
"True, with love, it's always free." Lu Jin'an couldn't help but continue the topic.
Qiu Qingtang let out a bell-like laughter, playfully patting Lu Jin'an's shoulder several tis: "I really like that taphor."
"Learned it from you." Lu Jin'an rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit overwheld.
Qiu Qingtang continued to laugh uncontrollably, and Lu Jin'an looked at her and said helplessly: "Could your humor threshold be any lower?"
"I'm just happy." Qiu Qingtang wiped the tear of laughter from the corner of her eye: "Haven't felt so joyous in a while."
The bell on her ankles chid crisply, yet gave Lu Jin'an a different feeling from when a Senior Sister wore one.
"Why does Young Master Lu keep looking at ?"
"The outfit is pretty." Lu Jin'an withdrew his gaze.
"Nothing's exposed, yet it's not seductive at all."
"I didn't say that."
"I understand, in Young Master Lu's eyes, a pretty girl simply changing her attire appears sexy, right?"
"I have no comnt."
Qiu Qingtang watched him with a smile, changing the topic: "So Young Master Lu ca here... for , right? I'm not being narcissistic?"
"I did co for you." Lu Jin'an looked at her: "I don't know any other foxes."
"Then... to take back to Taichu Hall?"
"No." Lu Jin'an looked at the snowflakes falling again from the sky: "You're not here to be a hostage for the Wandao Sect, if you're happy living at Yun ng Cliff, stay as long as you like; until you return to Qingqiu, your room at Taichu Hall will be kept for you."
Qiu Qingtang blinked: "Then why did Young Master Lu co to see ..."
Lu Jin'an thought of Qiu Qingtang's graceful dance earlier, lowering his eyes slightly: "I'm responsible for your safety at Wandao Sect."
Qiu Qingtang smiled: "I see... "
She looked down at her pristine bare feet, toes curling slightly, feeling a little more elated inside.
Deliberately leaving Taichu Hall, deliberately not returning for so long, it was effective... it piqued his curiosity and attention, didn't it?
Deceptive?
It's not deception.
Although most would claim they don't like won with little tricks, ultimately, is it really such won they dislike?
No.
What they dislike is not being the one she uses such little tricks on.
Qiu Qingtang tilted her head, secretly watching Lu Jin'an who was silent, feeling even more delighted inside.
When talking flirty with him before, he seed unaffected, thought he had a cold heart, but in the end, a man is still a man.
Ha~ Changing tactics is quite useful.
Let's see if you'll be chard by !
Although being seen dancing just now... why does it make feel so awkward and shy?
He ca so suddenly.
Thinking this, Qiu Qingtang turned and stealthily glared at Qiu Weni for not notifying her earlier of Lu Jin'an's arrival, almost embarrassing her.
Lu Jin'an watched Qiu Qingtang's small gestures with interest, it didn't seem like she was pretending earlier.
He thought with Qiu Qingtang's abilities, she would have sensed his arrival long ago...
"Do you like dancing?" Lu Jin'an asked.
"It started as a way to improve flexibility." Returned to her senses, Qiu Qingtang subtly winked: "Does Young Master Lu like it too?"
"I like watching."
"So, Young Master Lu didn't get enough just now?"
Lu Jin'an was about to shake his head when Qiu Qingtang clapped her hands, seemingly signaling sothing.
The next mont she led Lu Jin'an back: "Young Master Lu, since you're here, right?"
The cold wind lifted her hair, bringing a hint of the jasmine fragrance to Lu Jin'an's nose.
He did not refuse again.
