The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 260.1 – Are Here

She’s more needed here? Puzzled by what she heard, Xue Qilin asked frankly, “What do you mean?”

While continuing to squint her eyes, Beiming Youyu gazed into the distance and gently swayed her tail covered in long, thick, smooth, and neat fur.

“You can’t feel it?”

Xue Qilin took a look at the pure white tail and suppressed the urge to hold it in her arms.

She tried to relax and sense things. Yet apart from the breaths of martial practitioners, she didn’t detect anything of note. She cast Beiming Youyu a puzzled look.

“Hey, you’re not purposely making things mysterious, are you? I don’t feel anything special…”

Beiming Youyu sighed first, and then fixed her eyes on Xue Qilin, silent.

She just quietly gazes at Xue Qilin.

The limpid and sharp gaze seems to be searching the abyss of the lass’s eyes.

Uncomfortable from being stared at, Xue Qilin felt like all her secrets have been seen through by the other party. She issued a light cough to call the other party’s attention.

However, Beiming Youyu didn’t answer her.

Xue Qilin had no choice but not to look at this sole Grandmaster of the Hua Dynasty. When she looked away, Beiming Youyu withdrew her gaze and no longer looked into the distance.

“– are here.”

Beiming Youyu said this without any emotion.

Then, she went to the stone where Xia Xue was sitting a while ago, leaped onto it like a leaf blown by wind, and sat down.

“Oh, who is here?”

Xue Qilin also sat on a stone.

They are both too short for their feet to reach the ground. In order to eliminate the discomfort of not being able to “plant her feet on the ground”, Xue Qilin simply sat cross-legged, while Beiming Youyu shook her feet childishly.

Looking back and forth between the top of their heads, Phecda appears to be hesitating whether to jump onto Beiming Youyu’s head or not. But Xue Qilin, who is deeply aware of the extreme sensitiveness of Beiming Youyu’s ears, seamlessly blocked her and ordered her to sit down.

At this time, Beiming Youyu’s tail suddenly rushed to the front between her and Xue Qilin.

Xue Qilin couldn’t help touching it, and the tail immediately drew back.

Ah, is the tail really sensitive? She belatedly peeked at Beiming Youyu’s expression. When she discovered that the other party has no traces of anger and indignation on her face, she sighed in relief.

However, what happened next surprised her.

“Ah?”

The skin on her thighs felt itchy.

Xue Qilin felt something fluffy and soft fall on his legs. She looked down and slightly opened her mouth in amazement.

The thing that radiates warmth is Beiming Youyu’s tail.

Beiming Youyu’s tail is long and big. It coils from the back to the front of her body, extends across her legs, and still covers most of Xue Qilin’s legs, who is sitting cross-legged.

So broad-minded? Xue Qilin looked back and forth between Beiming Youyu and her tail in bewilderment.

“Little Fish, isn’t your tail really sensitive? Is it okay like this?”

“Sensitive?” Beiming Youyu frowned, tilted her head, and looked at Xue Qilin, “Did I say that?”

“No, you didn’t say that… But generally speaking, isn’t the tail very sensitive? That’s what I heard.”

— heard from an anime.

Xue Qilin added in her heart.

Beiming Youyu replied faintly, “I don’t know where you heard that from. At least, I’m not included in your “generally”. My tail is not sensitive.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Xue Qilin quickly accepted this statement and asked with a wink, “Can I touch it then?”

Beiming Youyu glanced at Xue Qilin, declining to reply.

Taking her silence as a tacit agreement, Xue Qilin happily placed her hand on her tail, and then peeked at her expression. After she discovered that her face doesn’t show any traces of dislike, she stroked her tail along the grain.

So soft –! The ticklish feeling is really comfortable! Xue Qilin’s eye lit up.

She didn’t notice that along with her caresses, Beiming Youyu’s eyes narrowed slightly and her cheeks flushed a little.

“You can touch it, but don’t mess it up.”

“He-he, okay, okay!”

Xue Qilin grinned and happily agreed.

Apparently no longer satisfied with stroking alone, the thick-faced lass hugged the white tail and rubbed her face against it.

“…”

Beiming Youyu frowned at Xue Qilin’s “give him an inch, and he’ll want a mile” attitude, but soon relaxed again and issued a sneer that is close to self-mockery.

Thinking that Beiming Youyu is angry, Xue Qilin shrank back her neck and let go of the other party’s tail. The embarrassed her wanted to apologize, yet Beiming Youyu’s doubtful voice entered her ears first.

“You don’t want to hug it?”

“Yes?” Xue Qilin was surprised. “You looked like you didn’t like it…”

“Hmm?”

Realizing that the other party might have misunderstood her reaction, Beiming Youyu shook her head cryptically.

“… it’s not like that.”

There is an unsoothable melancholy in her tone.

What’s wrong with her? Why does she look like a girl full of worries? Xue Qilin tilted her head and hesitated for a while, and then the words left her mouth without thinking.

“Little Fish, do you have something on your mind?”

“…”

Beiming Youyu stared at the eyes full of intellect and her pink lips trembled slightly.

Can she not believe what she heard? Or is it that she didn’t expect this question? Xue Qilin, who indulged in her thoughts, remained silent for a while.

Silence fell between them.

Unable to keep up with the situation, Phecda looked at the two suspiciously.

“Hey, why did you stop talking all of a sudden?”

Xue Qilin sometimes thinks that Phecda cannot read the room and says whatever comes to her mind. But at the same time, she thinks that it may also be an advantage.

Is this what they call “children’s words carry no harm”? Xue Qilin rolled her eyes. Perhaps thinking the same thing, Beiming Youyu showed a faint smile.
