Chapter 478 Tell Me First (4200 words)
The next day after school, Xiao Mo and Tu Shan Jingci went to Hanshan City to buy a spirit-testing stone.

Then, on the advice of the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, he bought some cultivation techniques for humans.

The shopkeeper of this treasure shop exaggerates the merits of these techniques, and the prices are not low.

However, since it was the eldest daughter of the Tushan clan who came to buy things in person, they didn't dare to treat her like a pig to be slaughtered.

To be fair, although these techniques are all priced higher, they are all complete sets and their quality is indeed quite high.

However, it is indeed quite difficult to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage using this technique.

After all, those in the Nascent Soul Realm are known as "Earth Immortals," and are capable of establishing their own sects.

Even many cultivators are unaware of the existence of the Upper Three Realms, believing that the ultimate goal of cultivation is the "Nascent Soul Realm".

Therefore, such a martial art that can establish its own school is basically impossible to circulate in ordinary markets.

Unless someone has such incredible luck that they manage to buy what appears to be ordinary cowhide, tortoise shell, or even a common bone, and then discover that it contains a peerless martial arts technique that leads directly to the Great Dao.

Not long after Xiao Mo and Tu Shan Jingci returned to their courtyard from the town, Liu Shui, who had finished drying the medicinal herbs in the pill room, arrived again.

Xiao Mo took out a spirit-testing stone and tested her innate talent.

Although Liu Shui's physical constitution wasn't exceptionally good, it was still quite decent.

As long as you cultivate diligently, reaching the Golden Core Realm in the future should not be a problem.

If you want to go further, you'll need more opportunities and to cultivate higher-level techniques.

Xiao Mo gave the cultivation books to Liu Shui.

Liu Shui didn't know many characters, and was completely clueless about the initial stages of cultivation.

However, Tu Shan Jingci indicated that Liu Shui could come anytime.

If she has any questions about cultivation, Xiao Mo and Yue Shi can answer them for her.

Moonstone was actually quite reluctant to teach such a human girl.

However, Moonstone dared not disobey his mistress's orders.

In Xiao Mo's view, with Yue Shi's frequent guidance, Liu Shui's cultivation would progress much faster.

Because Moonstone was originally just an ordinary cat demon, she had no bloodline inheritance.

She cultivated step by step entirely on her own, eventually reverting to 60% of Huan's bloodline and reaching the Golden Core realm.

Her arduous training experience is equally valuable to the human race.

Time passed day by day.

After the Wang Zhong incident, all the pageboys, even though they still held Xiao Mo in contempt, dared not show it, let alone provoke him.

Xiao Mo continued to accompany Tu Shan Jingci to class every day, and then practiced on his own after class.

Every day or two, Liu Shui would come to Tu Shan Jing Ci's courtyard to bring him jujube cakes and also help him with housework and cleaning the courtyard.

When Liu Shui asked Yue Shi for advice on cultivation, although Yue Shi seemed reluctant on the surface, he was exceptionally serious when he actually started teaching Liu Shui.

Two months later, Liu Shui successfully entered the first level of Qi Refining.

From then on, Liu Shui embarked on the path of cultivation.

As for the words of Tushan Mirror.

Besides attending classes, she spends her days playing with her best friends from the academy, and she always brings Xiao Mo along.

To be honest, Xiao Mo didn't really want to attend the tea party with the young ladies.

Because the pageboys of the young lady's best friends were all female demons.

So among the group of demon girls, only Xiao Mo was a male standing there. The other demon girls would occasionally steal glances at Xiao Mo, which made Xiao Mo feel somewhat awkward.

However, over time, Xiao Mo got used to it.

Two years, three years, four years
Five years passed in the blink of an eye during my time at Hanshan Academy.

Originally only as tall as the stone table in the courtyard, Tu Shan Jingci, upon reaching the age of 18, gradually grew taller and more graceful, like a willow branch sprouting new shoots.

Especially in terms of height.

Tu Shan Jingci perfectly inherited her mother's long legs.

The prime of a woman's life is also the period when she grows the fastest.

Therefore, Tu Shan Jingci's height changes almost every month.

Tu Shan Jingci's favorite thing to do is to compare heights with Xiao Mo.

At first, Tu Shan Jingci was a bit shorter than Xiao Mo.

However, later on, Tu Shan Jingci became as tall as Xiao Mo.

Gradually, Tu Shan Jingci grew to be half a head taller than Xiao Mo, and then a full head taller.

This made Tu Shan Jingci very proud.

Every time Tu Shan Jingci saw Xiao Mo, he would raise his head and look down at Xiao Mo with a smile.

One day, Xiao Mo woke up and, as usual, began cultivating in the courtyard.

When the sun was high in the sky, Tu Shan Jingci happily jumped out of the room, ran to Xiao Mo's side, and then blinked at him.

Smelling the faint fragrance beside him, Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, a smile involuntarily playing on his lips: "Is there something you need now, Miss?"

As Tu Shan Jingci grew older, Xiao Mo noticed that she was developing increasingly strange and unusual ideas.

Whenever Jingci had an idea, but found herself meditating with her eyes closed, she would stare straight at her like this.

Because she didn't want to disturb his cultivation, but wanted to tell him as soon as possible, she would obediently wait aside.

"Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, listen to me." Tu Shan Jing Ci looked at Xiao Mo happily, "From now on, you shouldn't call me 'Miss' anymore."

"If you don't call me Miss, then what should I call me?" Xiao Mo asked, puzzled.

“Of course you should call me sister.” Tu Shan Jingci’s eyes crinkled into a smile.

"???" Xiao Mo's head was filled with questions.

"Look, look." Tu Shan Jingci gestured on Xiao Mo's head, then on his own. "Tell me, am I taller than you?"

“Yes.” Xiao Mo nodded.

“Look, I’m taller than you, so shouldn’t you call me sister?” Tu Shan Jingci said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "But Miss, I'm a month older than you."

"So what?"

Tu Shan Jingci stood with her hands on her slender waist and pouting her cheeks.

"Sisters are always taller than their brothers. I'm taller than you, so I'm your older sister. It has nothing to do with age. Hurry up and call me 'older sister' so I can hear it."

Xiao Mo: "."

"Are you going to call me or not?" Seeing Xiao Mo remain silent, Tu Shan Jing Ci was somewhat unhappy.

"I won't call you that." Xiao Mo shook his head.

"Are you going to call me or not!" Tu Shan Jingci said, feigning anger.

"I won't call it that." Xiao Mo felt he had to stick to his principles.

"Xiao Mo, I'm getting angry." Tu Shan Jingci pouted.

"Getting angry is not an option."

"Xiao Mo, just call me 'sister,' please, just once."

In the end, Tu Shan Jingci clung to Xiao Mo's arm and kept acting coquettishly, her eyes glistening with tears, making Xiao Mo feel as if he had committed some heinous crime.

It can only be said that the fox clan is indeed the fox clan, especially the nine-tailed celestial fox clan. Even at the age of 18, every word and action of theirs is like a soft knife that can cut flesh and bone.

"Alright, then I'll say it." Xiao Mo sighed, his heart softening after all.

"Just one call is fine. Call me first. When you're taller than me in the future, I'll just call you brother." Tu Shan Jingci's eyes lit up with sunlight when he saw Xiao Mo agree.

"Sister," Xiao Mo called softly, suppressing his shame.

Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, Tu Shan Jingci was taken aback at first, then pretended to say, "I didn't hear you clearly, Xiao Mo, call me again." "Sister!" Xiao Mo raised his voice a little.

"I still didn't hear you clearly, Xiao Mo, speak louder~" Tu Shan Jingci blinked his eyes innocently.

"Miss, you've gone too far," Xiao Mo said, closing his eyes.

"Hehehe, my good little brother, my good little brother."

Having tasted the sweetness, Tu Shan Jingci's eyes crinkled as she reached out her little hand to pat Xiao Mo's head.

"How about my little brother calls me 'sister' every day from now on?" Tu Shan Jingci asked, pushing his luck.

"No." Xiao Mo refused decisively.

"Huh? Why is it like this? Just call out once a day, just once. Okay?"

Tu Shan Jingci continued to act coquettishly, her voice echoing through the courtyard.

The boy deliberately ignored him.

In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

The girl had reached the age of blossoming youth.

The willow branches that were originally growing thinner have also begun to slowly sprout new buds.

Tu Shan Jingci has already graduated from Qianxue Peak and entered Yunxiao Peak.

The schoolteacher remained the same leisurely and carefree gentleman.

However, Mr. Xian no longer taught them the basic introductory knowledge, but instead systematically and truly imparted Confucianism to them.

Moreover, Xiao Mo discovered that this Mr. Xian often inserted his own personal opinions into his lectures, subtly guiding students to think about "demons and demons", "demons and humans", and "the world of demons and the world of all laws".

Sometimes, this Mr. Xian would also tell some folk tales.

It is about loyalty and righteousness, and it is also about love.

There are realms ruled by demons, and realms ruled by all laws.

"Today, I will tell you a story about the human race and the demon race."

On this day, before the end of class, Mr. Xian smiled at his students.

"The story takes place in our demon realm."

"Once upon a time, a very, very long time ago, well, for you with your long lifespans, it probably wasn't that long, maybe a thousand years ago."

"A thousand years ago, there was a little demon in the demon realm. What should we call him? Let's call him Xiao Feng."

"This little demon has decent talent and a good bloodline. He is a scion of a powerful family and has no shortage of cultivation resources. It can be said that from the moment he was born, he was considered to be a being of the upper three realms."

"As time went by, this little demon slowly grew up. He always thought he was invincible and went around looking for people to challenge.

"Later, he found it boring to challenge others, so he simply left the family and went out to train on his own. He became a bounty hunter. Others would pay him to kill people, but he only killed strong people."

"But I must say, Xiao Feng has never lost a single time."

"Until one day, Xiao Feng met someone."

Mr. Xian straightened his sleeves and continued speaking.

"It was a rainy night. Xiao Feng was walking at the foot of the mountain when he came to a wine shop, intending to rest and have a drink to warm himself up."

"Just as Xiao Feng was enjoying his drink, a woman walked into the wine shop."

"This human woman had shoulder-length short hair, wore a sword dress, and held a black longsword in her hand."

"But upon closer inspection, Xiao Feng realized that this woman was the one he was supposed to kill."

"What Xiao Feng didn't know was that he himself was also wanted, and this woman was there to kill him."

"And so, the two of them started fighting."

"But neither side could gain the upper hand, and it was difficult to determine a winner for the time being."

"In the days that followed, the two stalked each other and frequently clashed."

"Later on, Xiao Feng suggested that since they couldn't do anything to each other, they should just take on other bounties together and travel together. They could attack each other at will along the way, and whoever lived or died would depend on their own abilities."

The woman agreed.

"From that day on, the two of them traveled together, killed demons and people, and also betrayed each other. But gradually, feelings of love began to grow between them."

Thirty years later, Xiao Feng's family sent a letter asking him to return to the family, marry a woman he did not like, and inherit the position of patriarch in the future.

"But how could Xiao Feng be willing? So, Xiao Feng left his family, wanting to elope with his sweetheart."

"When the father, who was the clan chief, heard that his son had fallen in love with a human woman, he was furious and ordered his men to hunt them down."

"They evaded one hunt after another, but in the end, they still couldn't escape the family's inescapable net."

"The woman was arrested. Xiao Feng's father said that he would let the woman go as long as he could return to his family and get married."

As she spoke, Xian Xichun paused slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

"Sir, what happened next? Did Xiao Feng agree?"

"Did Xiaofeng really marry someone she didn't like?"

"Of course, how can the demon race be with the human race?"

"I also think that the demon race should have its own pride."

The girls in the study were jeering, eager to hear the end of the story.

Many of the young men felt that the demon named Xiao Feng should never have married a human woman.

But just then, the school bell rang, echoing through the mountains.

Xian Xichun put away her book and smiled slightly: "The story ends here. I never go over time. get out of class dismissed."

"Huh?"

"Have you finished speaking, sir?"

"Why are you like this, sir?"

Hearing the students' complaints, Mr. Xian simply smiled, bowed to them, and then left the school with his books.

After school, on the way back to the courtyard.

Tu Shan Jingci kept his head down, recalling the story his teacher had told him that day.

"Xiao Mo, what do you think the story you told today will end like? Will Xiao Feng and that woman be together? Will they have a happy ending?" Tu Shan Jing Ci asked, raising his head.

"Well, they probably won't," Xiao Mo was about to answer when he turned around and saw Tu Shan Jingci's expectant eyes.

"Xiao Feng and the others should be alright. He probably didn't agree to the marriage arranged by his family. I guess Xiao Feng later rescued his sweetheart, and they eloped together." Xiao Mo gave a happy ending.

"Right, right, I think so too."

Hearing Xiao Mo's answer, Tu Shan Jingci's somewhat gloomy expression suddenly brightened.

"Lovers in the world should be united in the end! If I ever find someone I like in the future, no one can stop me!"

"So, what kind of person will you like in the future, Miss?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.

"What kind of person do I like?" Tu Shan Jingci thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't know what kind of person I would like."

"but."

The girl walking in front suddenly turned around and put her hands behind her back.

Just then, a mountain breeze blew by, causing her skirt to flutter gently before falling back down, and strands of hair to brush against her cheeks, tinged with a pale gold by the setting sun.

"If I ever find someone I like in the future, I'll definitely tell you first."

The wind ruffled her hair, and she tilted her head slightly to look over.

"But you have to promise me—if you find someone you like, you'll tell me first."

"OK?"
