These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

"Forget it, forget it, you old senile, I can't be bothered to talk to you."

"Hey! Who do you think you are? Although I'm old, I read all the books in the library when I was young! Tell me properly, why don't I understand!"

On the steps outside the Medicine King Pavilion, the little fox, stretching its fiery red body, has grown quite a bit.

Of course, it also got much fatter and had more hair, making it look even more beautiful.

Its fur wasn't just a simple red; it was a brilliant, fiery red, like maple leaves, making it exceptionally striking.

She sighed softly.

"Why isn't Wei Xiaoer coming over yet... Why are you trying to starve us like foxes...?"

Just as I was muttering to myself, I heard footsteps.

The little fox instantly stood up, its ears perking up.

He swung his limbs and ran wildly in that direction.

He ran while shouting excitedly.

"Wei Xiaoer! I've missed you so much! We need to eat pig's feet...!"

She leaped up and jumped into a warm, soft embrace.

She nuzzled her head contentedly.

Hmm? Something seems off.

When did Wei Xiaoer's pectoral muscles get so big? And so soft?

She hesitated for a moment before raising her head and saw a pair of gentle, charming eyes smiling at the little fox.

"It seems that Wei Tu can be considered the male master of the Medicine King Pavilion."

Oops……

How could I have mistaken someone for someone else?

And it just so happens to be this wicked woman that her master dislikes so much...

13 Curiosity and Gossip

Mu Xitong was in her room, listlessly staring at the medicine furnace. She had heard the little fox's movements at the door, of course, but showed no reaction. It wasn't that she didn't care about the little fox; it's just that sometimes animals were more reassuring than people—at least they would come home. Unlike people, who sometimes wander off and disappear, going anywhere in the world but never returning. And when footsteps sounded at the door…

Mu Xitong heard the little fox's trembling voice: "Master~~~" Mu Xitong turned her head and saw Ran Xinxue standing at the door, dressed in white, holding the fiery red little fox. The red and white made for a very beautiful scene, especially under the sunlight, the contrast was perfect. "Isn't this the Sect Master? What brings you to the Medicine King Pavilion?"

Ran Xinxue held the little fox, reaching out to stroke its thick fur, which seemed to feel quite nice. Of course, the little fox dared not resist, lowering its head in complete submission. The woman, surprisingly calm, approached Mu Xitong and stood beside her, looking down at her. Mu Xitong was already quite familiar with this attitude; after all, this inherently wicked woman's favorite thing was seeing others submit to her and bow down to her.

But after one glance, Mu Xitong instantly sensed something was amiss. Something was utterly different from usual on this woman's face… What was it? She frowned and saw Ran Xinxue's undisguised, spring-like brows and eyes. It was as if spring water had melted into her eyes, possessing a charm unlike her usual sharpness—not a deliberate act, but natural, radiating from within. The situation was quite obvious. Mu Xitong couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

"Ran Xinxue...you're not a virgin anymore?" These words made Ran Xinxue blush slightly, but it wasn't a big deal. After all, she knew the other person could tell at a glance when she arrived. A woman who was proficient in pharmacology and possessed the body of a medicinal spirit was quite skilled in observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation. "Are you surprised? It's not a big deal."

Ran Xinxue released the little fox from her arms, and the fox immediately ran out of the Medicine King Pavilion. It wasn't that the fox was heartless and didn't care about Mu Xitong at all; rather, even the most foolish fox should understand the atmosphere—when gods fight, little devils suffer. It was best to make a quick getaway! Ran Xinxue calmly sat down beside Mu Xitong. Mu Xitong's eyes flickered slightly, surprised by the fox's frankness. "Who did it?" "Want to guess? Your concern for my affairs is truly touching." "Besides him, who else could it be?" Mu Xitong was clearly upset. Ran Xinxue smiled happily, seemingly without a trace of shame.

"Indeed, it seems there's no one else. Hey, are you angry? You were my good junior sister back then. Although I'm the sect leader now and you're an elder, I don't think I've treated you badly all these years. Just picking up a dog of a man, is it really that big of a deal?" Mu Xitong glanced at Ran Xinxue with disdain, pulling away as if afraid of getting too close to this woman and picking up something bad. "Why would I be angry about your mess? I just didn't expect him to be able to do that to you. He's really not picky..." Ran Xinxue seemed to understand the woman's feelings, showing no anger at all, and even laughed more happily.

"Not only is she not picky about food, but she also has a very good appetite." "...You came all this way just to tell me this boring stuff?" Ran Xinxue feigned distress. "Well, not really. I have something I'm curious about and worried about, and I wanted to ask you about it." "Spit it out." Mu Xitong was disgusted by Ran Xinxue's current smugness, and at the same time found it somewhat amusing. The dignified sect leader of the Yuanjian Sect was showing off and flaunting her power in front of her because of a man? She was really getting more and more childish. Ran Xinxue sat dignifiedly, almost like a holy goddess. However, a hint of affected hesitation appeared on her face.

"You said... what would happen if it went in?" "What do you mean, 'went in'?" Mu Xitong looked at Ran Xinxue strangely, Ran Xinxue's cheeks were as red as peach blossoms. "It means... a man's thing..." Mu Xitong's cheeks also flushed instantly, and a hint of anger flickered in her eyes. "You're shameless... What will happen? You'll get pregnant and give birth to a big, healthy boy! With your big butt, childbirth will be easy for you, what are you worried about? Natural childbirth won't kill you from the pain!" Ran Xinxue tried hard to suppress her laughter, then looked at the out-of-control Mu Xitong and said, "Stop fooling around, good junior sister. I'm really worried right now. After all, the sect has only just started to get on track. If I get pregnant, it will be hard to explain to the sect. I won't be able to show my face in public for a while, which will have a huge impact..." Mu Xitong stiffly turned her face away, but with the heart of a healer, she still said, "Don't worry, it's not that easy to get pregnant. The physique of cultivators is different from that of mortals. Mortals don't seek longevity but only to recuperate and thrive, passing on their knowledge from generation to generation, so childbirth is naturally smooth. But cultivators are different. Since they pray for longevity, they can even abstain from grains, making it very difficult for them to get pregnant."

"Oh~~~" Ran Xinxue seemed relieved, patting her ample chest and letting out a long sigh. But she quickly muttered softly, "But he put so much in... he filled me up completely, and I don't know why, he acted like he'd never seen a woman before... Is that okay?" Mu Xitong's cheeks burned as she listened to the other woman's words. She truly hadn't expected this woman to be so shameless, completely abandoning all sense of decency, just to spite her! "Ran Xinxue! Are you ever going to stop?!"

"Hahaha... Don't be angry, don't be angry, just kidding." Ran Xinxue covered her mouth and chuckled. Mu Xitong looked at the burning medicine furnace, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke. "You don't even spare Lu Qingyan's disciple, shameless." Ran Xinxue thought for a moment and smiled, "I am the sect leader, everyone is essentially my disciple, what's the problem?" "Aren't you afraid Lu Qingyan will kill you? Given her protective nature, if she finds out you've harmed her disciple, even one she raised herself..." Ran Xinxue sneered.

"Why do you seem so convinced that I'm the one who ruined him? Couldn't it be that he had desires for me? That he went through all that trouble to trick me into his bed?" Ran Xinxue was indignant. How could she immediately assume it was a woman seducing a man? Couldn't it be that the man deceived the woman? Isn't that the norm in this world? Mu Xitong also sneered. "I might believe anyone else, but you... Wei Tu may be a bit lecherous and often has no bottom line, but he's not stupid. He won't throw every opportunity for trouble at his feet. Especially not a woman like you. He'll think twice."

"You really know him well..."

"Speechless now? Admitting you seduced him? Shameless." Mu Xitong snorted coldly. Ran Xinxue couldn't help but laugh again. "You're like a stray dog ​​trying to get a meal but can't even get a drop of soup. Aren't you envious? If you are, just say so. I'm very generous. Maybe... I'll play matchmaker for you two."

"Go to hell." "What did you say?" Ran Xinxue frowned at her, seemingly surprised that the other party would suddenly utter such vulgar and offensive language. Mu Xitong narrowed her eyes and stared at Ran Xinxue. "Didn't you hear me? Do you want me to repeat myself? I don't care what you did, and don't think everyone is as extravagant and greedy as you. There will always be a price to pay. Although I don't know what your motives are, you'd better rein in your thoughts. If you're thinking of doing something bad, not only Lu Qingyan, but many people won't let you off the hook." Ran Xinxue's eye twitched. Then she turned around and sighed deeply. "As expected, men are the greatest enemy of women's affections. You're even turning against me now." "I never had any feelings for you. If it weren't for my master's kindness, I wouldn't have stayed in the Yuanjian Sect." "You've long since repaid your master's kindness. How about I give you freedom? You can go wherever you want. Do you want to accept?" "...It's none of your business. I'll leave when I want to." "See, you're reluctant to leave too." Ran Xinxue suddenly said with a smile. Turning her head, she could see the maple forest outside the door. In the height of summer, the maple trees had become lush and green, and she could already imagine the magnificent autumn scenery.

"..." Mu Xitong remained silent, letting Ran Xinxue mutter to herself. "When you live in a place for a long time, you'll always find a reason to stay. As long as there's not enough reason to kick you out... Besides, you don't have any ambition, so where can you go? Just stay here. It just so happens that I have some plans recently, targeting the Medicine King Pavilion." "What do you want to do?" "Don't look like I'm always ready to do something bad. If I touch you... that lecherous man won't forgive me. He really likes coming here."

"...You're already in this relationship with him, why do you need to worry about me? Just whisper sweet nothings in his ear and it'll be fine."

"As you said, he is indeed very rational, so this little thing won't make him go against his principles, and I have no reason to target you. Jealousy depends on the person... I plan to expand the Medicine King Pavilion and increase its staff."

"In the near future, the Yuanjian Sect will continue to grow and expand, and the increase in disciples is only natural. Therefore, the need for medicine will also increase, and you won't be able to handle it all by yourself." "What do you plan to do?" Mu Xitong became interested, mainly because the recent situation had kept her quite busy, even forcing her to reduce her usual sleep time. Ran Xinxue calmly said, "You will continue your pharmacology classes, and you will be allowed to select disciples to take on. If you don't want those people to live with you, I will have someone find a place in the back mountain to build a special pill room, so that these disciples who are interested in studying pills can constantly practice and refine pills there. And you will be the one in charge of all of this." "Hehe... It sounds like I should thank you for your generosity." Mu Xitong's resistance was not so obvious, which meant that she didn't really want to resist. Ran Xinxue smiled and stood up, her skirt slightly lifted, like a corner of flying snow.

"No need for that. After all, she's my junior sister, and I feel sorry for you. Alright, that's all for now. I'm leaving." Just as Ran Xinxue was about to leave, Mu Xitong, who had been watching the cauldron, suddenly spoke. "Wait." "Is there something else?" "You... and him, how exactly... did you get together?" "Hahahaha..." Everyone is curious about gossip, especially... about people they care about. And the young man who had just arrived outside the Medicine King Pavilion... suddenly stopped in his tracks.

14. Utterly scumbag!

"What the heck... why are these two chatting?"

Wei Tu, who had originally planned to come today to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for the Dragon Slayer Realm, stopped in his tracks outside the Medicine King Pavilion.

Because he unexpectedly discovered that Mu Xitong wasn't the only one in the Medicine King Pavilion; it seemed... Ran Xinxue was there too?!

Upon hearing this voice, Wei Tu knew that Ran Xinxue was indeed there, and that this woman was even eager to show off something.

He just didn't understand, what's so great about this?

Why are you so eager to come to the Medicine King Pavilion?

So Wei Tu stood outside the door, listening intently to the sounds inside.

Could she really be that crazy? Is she really going to reveal everything? Including their relationship?

Wei Tu was very unsure what this crazy woman would do.

Soon, the sound of conversation could be heard coming from inside the door.

"Want to know?"

"...It's not that I really want to know."

"Then I won't say."

"you……!"

"There's always a price to pay, don't you think?"

"I... I'd really like to know."

"Oh, you want to know and I'll tell you?"

"Dyeing the new snow! What exactly do you want?!"

"Call my sister."

"Senior sister...!"

"Sister, not senior sister, didn't you understand?"

"You're dreaming!"

"Based on age and the time we've been on the mountain, I'm older than you in terms of seniority. It's only natural for me to call you 'elder sister,' right? Don't pretend to be aggrieved. This is the price you're paying."

"……elder sister."

"Speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly."

"……elder sister!"

"Hey~ sweet little sister."

"Speak!"

"say what?"

How did you two get together?

Why don't you just ask him?

"you……!"

"My dear little sister, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on."

"Dyeing fresh snow!!"

"Pfft."
