Just Want a Sweet Love

Beneath Little Qiong Peak, five miles south, lay the Cuckoo Forest.

Here, spirit meridians intertwined, miasma accumulated, and all sorts of bizarre fungi thrived.

Along the way, the chirping of birds and insects chattered like a girl's endless prattle.

"The Red Spotted Tiger is a natural Xuan Yin mother, loves to eat mushrooms, and often comes to the Cuckoo Forest to find big-headed mushrooms."

The girl was named Jiang Chuyan, with a Golden Core cultivation. She was the eldest disciple of Little Qiong Peak, and everyone called her Chuyan.

She was also the youngest female cultivator of Little Qiong Peak, with extremely high talent. She formed her Golden Core in a century, was beautiful, cute, petite, and meticulous, with the only flaw being that her mind was not quite normal.

"Yes, yes, you've said it ten thousand times."

The middle-aged woman was named Jingyin, the second senior sister of Little Qiong Peak, with a Foundation Establishment cultivation and an equally outstanding appearance.

But whether in appearance or cultivation, she was overshadowed by the girl Chuyan, and could only remain a junior sister.

Suddenly!

Jingyin smelled a pungent stench of blood.

She immediately accelerated her sword flight, following the scent.

Soon.

The two found two pools of blood in the forest, as well as signs of a chaotic struggle in a certain thorn bush.

Looking at the large pool of blood on the ground, the pure and soft face instantly turned pale. Jiang Chuyan had collapsed to the ground at some point.

"Blood... Little Red's blood..."

Her slender legs, tightly wrapped in white gauze stockings, were splayed out in a duck-sitting position on the grass. Tears welled up in her eyes, becoming more and more abundant, and finally she couldn't help but cry with a soft sob.

"Little Red was forcibly done that thing by an unknown beast..."

Black lines faintly appeared on Jingyin's fair forehead.

This was why she was so eager to send this senior sister away! This love-struck girl with a wild imagination was too much trouble.

Jingyin held her forehead in silence, recalling a hundred years ago...

Chuyan was only twelve years old. As the third princess of the Blazing Fire Kingdom, she became the only heir after her older siblings passed away one after another. Later, after catching a glimpse of the Sword-Wielding Elder in the crowd, she fled the palace overnight, carrying her luggage and walking hundreds of miles to the Outer Sect of Zongzhi Mountain.

Lin Yunzi recognized Chuyan's identity and was about to send her back to the Imperial Capital, but Jingyin happened to pass by and discovered her. She casually tested the girl's talent and was amazed, so she brought her to Little Qiong Peak and made her the junior sister of Little Qiong Peak.

They thought Little Qiong Peak had found a treasure, but they had actually picked up a weirdo! After entering the sect, the girl disliked cultivation and spent all day thinking about how to climb Sword-Wielding Mountain.

The Sword-Wielding Elder found her appearance cute and had personally come to Little Qiong Peak to see her.

After an in-depth exchange, the elder discovered that her motives were impure. She was always thinking about moving into Sword-Wielding Mountain and becoming his Dao partner.

The Sword-Wielding Elder was such an uninhibited person, how could he stand her clinginess? He immediately withdrew and severed ties with her.

Helpless, the girl had to stay temporarily at Little Qiong Peak, planning to take things slowly.

Perhaps she had picked up bad habits in the Mortal world's imperial palace, but this little girl was very precocious in matters of relationships.

She didn't cultivate properly on the mountain, but loved to dress up, gossip, and fantasize all day long.

What was cultivation too hard? It's better to be in love.

What? People just want sweet love.

What? Which girl doesn't yearn for spring? In addition, she also liked to arrange various marriages for her fellow disciples: male-female, male-male, female-female... and even human-beast.

What was even more unbearable was—

Although this little girl didn't cultivate much, her advancement speed was faster than anyone else's. She had formed her Golden Core in less than a century after coming to Little Qiong Peak, and now she had become the senior sister from the junior sister.

This made the other sisters of Little Qiong Peak lose face, and coupled with her constant nagging and gossiping with the sisters, mysteriously discussing what one hundred and eight styles were, it was annoying.

Therefore, the female cultivators of Little Qiong Peak unanimously hoped that she could transfer to Sword-Wielding Mountain as she wished and become the Direct Disciple of the Sword-Wielding Elder.

She was young, had a lovely appearance, and had high talent. As long as she wasn't so gossipy and clingy, she would be good enough to be a Direct Disciple.

Especially in the past few years, when the Dao Alliance's new regulations were being piloted in other sects, the female cultivators of Little Qiong Peak seized the opportunity to once again encourage her to seduce the Sword-Wielding Elder and bravely climb Sword-Wielding Mountain.

This Red Spotted Tiger was also a spirit beast she had found in East Floating City at that time. It was said to have the bloodline of the ancient Xuan Yin, which was a great tonic for women with dysmenorrhea. She raised it to the Qi Refining stage and gave it to the Sword-Wielding Elder, hoping that he would accept her as a Direct Disciple.

Especially a month ago, when the Dao Alliance's new regulations were implemented in Zongzhi Mountain with even stricter enforcement, the Sword-Wielding Elder was forced to look for a Direct Disciple. Everyone thought that Jiang Chuyan moving into Sword-Wielding Mountain was a certainty.

Two days ago.

On the very day the Sword-Wielding Elder's deadline for accepting disciples expired—

Xiao Ran appeared out of nowhere!

Everything changed.

Jiang Chuyan, who had always been lax in her Cultivation, also began to bury herself in cultivation.

Searching for elixirs to give the Red Spotted Tiger a crash course, hoping to make it reach Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Constantly searching for news about Xiao Ran, such as: what his true strength was, whether he was hiding any special skills...

She even once thought that Xiao Ran was seducing the elder with his looks.

Then, she inexplicably fell into self-pity.

One moment, she hated that she was too young and wanted to be more mature.

The next moment, she hated that she was too short and wanted to grow taller.

This seemingly pure and innocent little girl single-handedly increased the amount of useless knowledge in Little Qiong Peak.

She looks purely soft and adorable, but the words she speaks are shocking! For her, seeing a pool of blood and the mess in the thorn forest and making such lewd and bizarre speculations is just basic operation, so there's no need to be surprised.

Jingyin came back to her senses and quickly helped Chuyan up.

"Senior Sister, don't cry yet. I don't think it's what you think."

Chuyan rubbed her teary eyes and asked pitifully:

"Then what could it be?"

Jingyin touched the bridge of her nose and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Little Red may have already met with misfortune."

Chuyan nodded her little head slightly.

"Yeah, I said it met with misfortune. Little Red has a Xuan Yin Body. When male beasts see her, they definitely won't be able to control themselves."

Jingyin rolled her eyes at her, her face solemn.

"Not the kind of misfortune you're thinking of. Little Red may already be... gone."

Chuyan looked blank.

"What do you mean gone?"

Jingyin walked around and easily found dozens of brand new mud pits.

"Look here, a lot of Black Yeast Mushrooms have been dug up. These are obviously the marks left by digging with a shovel, which means someone was picking mushrooms here."

Chuyan blinked her watery eyes, suddenly enlightened.

"Are you saying that humans did something indecent to Little Red!"

"..."

Jingyin calmed her mind and speculated:

"Someone was picking mushrooms here and was targeted by Little Red. Then, a conflict broke out between the two sides. The other party took advantage of the tiger's pounce and pierced Little Red's stomach with a sword—look here, there's liver blood. These may be the marks left by internal organs falling out."

Chuyan's face turned pale, and she shrank her petite body.

"Don't suddenly say such scary things, okay?"

"Who exactly is scarier, you or me?"

Jingyin asked rhetorically.

"It's normal for a cultivator to be threatened by a tiger and kill it with a sword. You grew up in the palace, so you definitely don't have this kind of threat."

"Who exactly killed Little Red?"

"The biggest use of Black Yeast Mushrooms is to extract natural yeast, which means this person wants to brew wine. Brewing wine requires grains. Let's go to Great Valley Peak and ask around. We'll definitely find some clues."

"Alright."

The two of them rushed to Great Valley Peak, but didn't find any clues, because Baili Qingfeng had already confessed everything.

The person who picked mushrooms and killed the tiger was none other than the Sword-Wielding Elder's newly accepted Direct Disciple—

Xiao Ran!

But no one expected that Xiao Ran would actually kill a Red Spotted Tiger at the peak of Body Tempering with the strength of a Mortal. It must be that the Sword-Wielding Elder had given him a lot of treasures.

Chuyan was worried about not having an excuse to go to Sword-Wielding Mountain, but this coincidence was a good opportunity for her.

"Enemies are bound to meet. I'm going to take a trip to Sword-Wielding Mountain right now, and I'll definitely cut him down with one sword!"

Jingyin panicked when she heard this.

"It's not that serious. I should go with you."

Chuyan pouted and said, "Why isn't it serious? I'll cut him down with one sword, so he can never be a man again. Without that thing, the Elder will definitely abandon him."

"..."

So that's what she meant by cutting him down with one sword, I should have known... Jingyin's face darkened as she supported her forehead.

"My stomach is not feeling well, you go alone."

Chuyan's small face froze.

"Do you also have menstrual cramps?"
