I Want to be Grandmistress’s Pet!

More and more people with killing intent began pursuing them. However, Grandmistress Qian was extremely fast. When she moved, there was only a faint afterimage left behind. Qiu Qiu assumed that she was using some kind of magic weapon.

Grandmistress Qian approached the city boundaries with Qiu Qiu in tow. While the distance between them and their pursuers had increased by bounds, it was still not enough to fully shake them off. Furthermore, many experts with high cultivation had joined in the chase.

Outside the city, the white tiger seemed to have been waiting for a while. Without slowing down, Grandmistress Qian leapt over the towering walls of the city. The white tiger jumped upwards to meet her, catching her mid-leap.

At the same time, Grandmistress Qian cracked her whip. Qiu Qiu guessed that Grandmistress Qian had initially planned to pull Qiu Qiu onto the white tiger along with her, but had changed her mind after seeing the blood-stained robes. In her disgust, she threw Qiu Qiu onto her maid's flying sword instead.

Hehe.

The white tiger howled loudly as it departed. It moved extremely quickly. As their pursuers emerged, brandishing their swords, they only saw the quickly disappearing figures vanishing into the far distance.

Thanks to the white tiger's outstanding performance, they had temporarily thrown off their enemies.

After they confirmed that there were no pursuers nearby, the three people finally landed in a forest. As before, Grandmistress Qian dismissed the white tiger. Then, she summoned a flying sword for herself.

Qiu Qiu looked around at her surroundings and realized that they were traveling to the Demonic Realm.

They flew on swords until the sky became dark. After, the three of them stopped at a small town to rest. This small town did not have any cultivators, but had a small inn that they could check in for the night.

Qiu Qiu bought a rather pleasing-to-look-at set of robes from the shopkeeper before retiring to her room to meditate.

The eventing was extremely silent. The only sound was the distant echo of gongs as the night watchmen began to signal the beginning of night.

After a while, it began to rain. The sound of water dripping by the window gradually grew more and more distinct.

Suddenly, a shadow passed by the room. Qiu Qiu abruptly sprang open her eyes, her entire body on guard, when a low voice appeared in the silence:

"Younger Martial Sister."

Qiu Qiu crinkled her eyes. From the darkness came a mocking laugh.

Emerging from the dim shadow in front of her bed was a young man.

Qiu Qiu didn't reply. She raised her head, wondering if she should grab her sword and tear the person in front of her into pieces.

Shixiong: "Why are you with someone with demonic cultivation? Who is she?"

Qiu Qiu smiled. "Grandmistress Qian. She was the one who rescued me."

The demonic cultivator Qian clan was a name infamous to all. This shixiong became extremely shocked at this revelation, especially when he learned that someone from the Qian clan had unexpectedly rescued his little shimei.

Shixiong: "I will immediately report this to Master. You should look for an opportunity to contact us. We will definitely rescue you from here." This shixiong believed that Qiu Qiu had been forced to stay with Qian.

In fact, in her previous life she had really been seriously injured, and thus did not have any means to escape. When she had come across this shixiong, she had really believed her master and fellow disciples would come and rescue her. However, when the shixiong came back, he only instructed her to stay with Grandmistress Qian and act as an undercover mole.

Thinking about this, Qiu Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

The shixiong watched her reaction with some suspicion.

Qiu Qiu looked up, rearranging some of the stray hairs by her ear. Her gaze fell onto his body.

In the darkness, her pitch-black pupils seemed to emit a few flashes of red light. Her small lips formed an enchanting smile. "Shixiong, I'm with her voluntarily."

Without waiting for him to react, she stood up, shoving her five fingers against the shixiong's neck. She looked at his pale face with amusement, her smile extremely beautiful.

She wanted this person to die.

The her in her previous life had hated Grandmistress Qian. However, in the end, the other had tragically died for her at the hands of the sect; furthermore, Qiu Qiu had clearly loved the sect the most, but because she had practiced demonic cultivation, she had been brutally killed as well.

After her rebirth, she only wanted to remain by Grandmistress Qian's side with the same love and affection they had shared in her previous life. At the present moment, however, a greater desire to massacre all cultivators arose within her.

The force in her fingers increased. She had already sealed her shixiong's magic power. All that was left was for her to take his life!

Knock! Knock!

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden knocking sound against the door. A voice trickled from outside: "Lady Qiu Qiu, I heard movement in here."

It was Grandmistress Qian's maid.

Qiu Qiu paused, then waved her hand to slam the door open. She threw the now-unconscious shixiong to the maid, a slight smile appearing on her face as she said, "He's a cultivator. I'll have to inconvenience this young lady to take care of him."

The maid did not think it odd that a cultivator had made his way inside her room. She nodded, said a few perfunctory words and then retreated with the man in tow.

Seeing the other party had left, Qiu Qiu did not sit back onto the bed, but rather suppressed her qi and crept into Grandmistress Qian's room.

At the moment, Grandmistress Qian was not cultivating but rather silently lying on the bed. Qiu Qiu carefully concealed her qi in order to avoid alerting the other of her presence.

She slowly crept towards the person on the bed, her gaze filled with infatuation.

Grandmistress Qian was the same as the previous life, as cold as ice. Even her sleeping form was enough for others to feel cold tremors.

Qiu Qiu silently laughed. This kind of Grandmistress Qian… was perfect.

She crouched down by the bedside, foolishly staring at Grandmistress Qian's face. After a while, the gaze focused onto that tall and straight nose, those thin pair of lips…

In her previous life, Grandmistress Qian had never kissed her. Even if the other had liked her, she had never made any intimate kind of movements toward her. Through it all, she remained cold and indifferent.

If it hadn't been for all the indulgences Grandmistress Qian had given her, in the end even sacrificing her life for her and dying at the hands of the righteous cultivators, Qiu Qiu would not have believed this person held any affections toward her.

Qiu Qiu stared at Grandmistress Qian's lips, wondering what the other would look like if she kissed her. A faint smile appeared on her face. Then, as if possessed, she suddenly stood up, then lowered herself to press her own lips onto the other's lips.

There was some coldness, some softness, some—

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her throat. Qiu Qiu looked up, staring into a pair of frigid, frost-like pupils.

Grandmistress Qian had woken up!

Grandmistress Qian's expression grew colder as she wrapped her fingers around Qiu Qiu's neck. Her eyes filled with killing intent.

Qiu Qiu wanted to laugh. She had just done the same action to someone else.

This must be karmic retribution.

With much difficulty, she kneeled by the bedside. Slowly opening her mouth, she feebly murmured, "Grand…mistress…"

Grandmistress Qian's grip became even tighter. "I never told you I was the Qian clan's Grandmistress Qian."

In her first life, Qiu Qiu hadn't known that she was Grandmistress Qian.

Through calling her "Grandmistress" now, Qiu Qiu was signifying that she knew more than it seemed.

Grandmistress Qian possessed a title that many knew of, yet few knew who she really was. In the outside world, she used envoys to represent her when the situation called for it; those who knew her true self perhaps extended only to a few demonic cultivator noble patriarchs or her closest followers.

Qiu Qiu was beginning to run out of breath. With her current ability, she should have been able to escape the other's hold. However, after her rebirth, she had vowed to never hurt Grandmistress Qian.

She could only gasp the word "Grandmistress" over and over again. In her previous life, she had used this to arouse Grandmistress Qian's mercy. However, it seemed like her death in this world was guaranteed.

At least, if she died by Grandmistress Qian's hands in this life, she could be considered to have repaid the debt from before.

Grandmistress Qian suddenly loosened her grip.

Qiu Qiu immediately collapsed onto her knees, coughing. It wasn't until she used her magic that she was able to begin recuperating. When she had recovered a little, Grandmistress Qian reached out a hand and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.

Qiu Qiu pitifully stared up at Grandmistress Qian. Seeing that the other only continued to coldly stare at her, she couldn't help but smile.

Qiu Qiu: "Qiu Qiu has previously met the Grandmistress before. At that time, I was still young, so it's understandable that the Grandmistress doesn't remember me. However, I have always remembered the Grandmistress. This time, I hope with all my strength that I will be able to accompany Grandmistress by her side!"

It was pure nonsense. If she had really adored the Grandmistress so, she would have never become a cultivator.

Grandmistress Qian: "So that's why you barged into my quarters this late at night."

The temperature around her seemed to decrease by a few degrees.

Qiu Qiu: "…"

Qiu Qiu reckoned that if she didn't explain the current situation, Grandmistress Qian would probably kill her once again…

Therefore, Qiu Qiu decided to forcefully bow down her head to Grandmistress Qian.

Qiu Qiu: "Because I want to be Grandmistress's pet!"

Grandmistress: "…"
