Chapter 52: The choice of the little fox

Old Zhang is back, and he has brought back some prey. It’s a good thing he checked out the terrain, because he was able to get some food. We’ve been hungry since yesterday, and it’s a good thing Old Zhang is here. It’s freezing cold outside, and it’s a good thing he was able to get some prey so quickly.

Old Zhang was a bit wary of approaching the two weasels. After warming up for a while, he picked up the prey and said in a low voice, “What do you think? I’ll go clean up the prey.”

We all understood this. In Zhang’s eyes, this scene of people, ghosts, and demons talking on the ground was more unreal than a dream. His choice had already been made, and in the end, he would return to a life of simplicity.

At this point, Xiao Xi’s story had just finished, and we were all sighing. But at this time, Wu Lao Gui also made a deep expression, as if he was very emotional. I was very curious about what kind of emotion Wu Lao Gui, this thick-skinned guy, could have, but I didn’t expect Wu Lao Gui to say it himself: “Alas, I understand. Stealing chickens is a mistake. Stealing chickens is a mistake. You say that you weasels have been cursed for stealing chickens for many years, and you have been beaten, so why don’t you change?”

I suddenly flushed with embarrassment, held back by the urge to burst out laughing, only because I was concerned about Xiao Xi’s feelings, so I forced myself not to laugh, but I was thinking to myself, no wonder Wu Laogui had no talent for cultivation in the past, because his ability to “understand” was really too rebellious.

Xiao Xi didn’t seem to mind. After saying these words, she suddenly put down Xiao Mao and knelt down straight towards me, and without saying a word, she began to bow.

I didn’t understand what was going on, so I naturally wanted to help Xiaoxi, but she said, “You don’t need to help me. I’m not bowing to you, I’m bowing to the fox spirit. If it weren’t for her cave back then, Xiaomao and I would have died hundreds of years ago, and we would still be ignorant and unable to open our spiritual wisdom. The fox spirit is both my benefactor and my master. And this bow is also on behalf of Xiaomao. Xiaomao’s spiritual wisdom has not yet fully opened, and he is still a beast, ignorant and naive. In addition, he has a radical personality and disrespectful thoughts towards Sister Fox Fairy. It is I who should bow here and accept the punishment.

While he was talking, Xiaoxi respectfully bowed three times to the young fox that was napping on my shoulder.

The young fox saw that Xiaoxi was bowing to it, and it was still dozing, but suddenly it became alert. It immediately squatted on my shoulder, looking proud and trying to look dignified.

Is this a remnant memory? I looked at the cute little fox and thought of the real majestic demon on the mural in the stone chamber, with a group of people with strange masks kneeling before it.

“Sister Fox Fairy, is that the blue-eyed fox?” After Xiao Xi finished praying, Wu Laogui suddenly exclaimed, then shouted, “Chengyi, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Blue-eyed fox, you actually introduced it to me, and I didn’t even express my friendship. Chengyi, you insidious fellow, you can’t do that!”

I was completely baffled and asked Wu Laogui, “Have you been able to see it all along?”

“Yes, don’t you have the ability? I thought you were bored and summoned the ‘fighting spirit’ you had with you. Who knew it was a blue-eyed fox?” Wu Laogui replied as if it were a matter of course.

I shut up. I realized that talking to someone like Wu Laogui, who is twenty beats behind the curve, is always a self-abusive act.

Chengyi, is the blue-eyed fox on your shoulder? Let it show itself and have a look? Chengxin brother was very interested.

I tried to communicate with this young fox, but it was surprisingly easy to talk to and it was also capable of making itself visible. In a short while, everyone could see a small white-haired fox with green eyes sitting on my shoulder.

I have to say that the appearance of this young fox is very lethal. Xue, who likes to squint, wanted to hug it, but she couldn’t because it was a spirit. As for Chengxin, he directly seduced the young fox: “Little cutie, come with me. I’m much gentler than him.”

I stared at Chengxin unhappily and said, “You’re a grown man, why are you acting like a woman?”

Cheng Xin brother put on his glasses and said, “Who says that a man can’t like cute things? Do you? Do you know what beauty is? You’re as thick-headed as your master.

I was speechless. In fact, to be honest, even if the blue-eyed fox followed me, it was destined to not receive the best treatment. During the time when the master passed on the teachings, I knew that unlike other cultivators, our Li family lineage had a secret method to cultivate the spirit of the body, which was the symbiotic soul. If the blue-eyed fox follows me, it will really not receive the treatment of a symbiotic soul. Brother Chengxin is also from our lineage. If the blue-eyed fox is willing to follow him, it would not be a bad thing. With the fox head and the horizontal bone, he can also cultivate the blue-eyed fox’s remnant soul into his own symbiotic soul.

As I was seriously considering this matter, I saw the young fox wavering and at the same time read the thoughts of this little guy. The translation of the general meaning is, what should I do? I like the older brother who smiles more gently and is gentle. This older brother is not gentle.

Fuck! I was so angry. How could a female fox be seduced by Chengxin? He pretends to be gentle and kind, but he’s actually a smooth operator!

Chengxin ignored my angry gaze and continued to seduce me, saying, “Little cutie, come with me. I study medicine, so I can help you with your health problems. It’s very simple. Come over here. I’ll take good care of you.”

Finally, the tender fox couldn’t resist the temptation and jumped onto Chengxin’s shoulder. But it seemed to be reluctant to leave me, but I only realized later where it was reluctant to leave me.

Faced with the tender fox’s decision, I was furious and felt humiliated, but in fact I wasn’t angry at all. On the contrary, I was happy for Brother Chengxin. According to the meaning of the master, having a symbiotic soul is the only way to be considered a complete member of the Old Li lineage. At that time, I read his regret that he was too hasty and was unable to prepare a symbiotic soul for his apprentices.

As for the tiger soul, maybe my master didn’t know the true meaning of it, or maybe he did, but he gave it to me out of love, or maybe he didn’t want to stand out in front of his fellow disciples, even though they had been at odds for many years because of the young nun.

I don’t know what my master was thinking, unless one day I can find him and ask him in person. I believe I will definitely find him.

Thinking about it, I handed the cross-bone to Brother Chengxin and said, “Usually, let this young fox nourish here. When I go back, I will help you refine this thing and tell you something else.”

Originally, Cheng Xin Ge’s “seduction” was just a joke with me. He didn’t really want to take the tender fox away. After all, he was a medical practitioner, not a fighter. Seeing that I was so serious, he was surprised and said to me, “Cheng Yi, are you kidding? I am a medical practitioner.”

“Brother Chengxin, trust me, I’m not joking. After we return from the old forest, we’ll have to face even more difficult things. There are probably more monsters and strange things in the rivers and seas than in the old forest. Our sect will go out together at that time, and you will need it.” I said to Brother Chengxin seriously.

Brother Chengxin looked a little confused, but the young fox fell asleep on his shoulder again. However, because he believed in me, Brother Chengxin didn’t say anything or ask anything.

Xixi said, “This is good. Following a cultivator, the fox spirit’s remnant soul has found a good place to rest, so it doesn’t always have to be in a dangerous situation. Many existences have designs on it, including Xiaomao. If it weren’t for me restraining it…”

I looked at Xiao Xi in puzzlement, and Xiao Xi patiently explained, “These things are a long story. How should I tell you? In fact, I also have a favor to ask of you after finding you this time. Can you make a decision to take us with you after listening to me?”

“Take you? Where to?” I couldn’t react at once.

“To the fairy’s place. There have been three groups of people here, including you, and they all came to the forest in the snow. They were all walking in the same direction, so you’re not going to the fairy’s place, too, are you?” Xiao Xi’s voice was a little sly.

Yes, it is a relatively kind and sincere existence among the demons, but this is not contradictory to its cunning.

I understand, this is the real reason Xiao Xi wanted to talk to us.
