Chapter 479 It Seems a Little Different To You (4000 words)
Hanshan Academy, Jianshan.

A young man stood atop the mountain peak, his gaze fixed on the white clouds in the azure sky.

The young man had grown up. He wore an ordinary long gown, stood tall and straight, and had a handsome face with distinct features.

In recent years, when the young man went to school with his young mistress, many girls who were just beginning to fall in love would secretly look at him.

Even noblewomen from the demon race often come to visit Hanshan Academy.

When they saw the young man, they would all ask him whose servant he was.

If Tu Shan Jingci hadn't refused...

Xiao Mo has now been bought by some noblewoman and is being used as some kind of unspeakable plaything.

Xiao Mo slowly closed his eyes, contemplating this world.

As the young man's mind stirred slightly, a gentle breeze swept by, and the white clouds coalesced into a giant white dragon.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon dispersed and transformed into white birds that lined up in the air, as if they were about to migrate.

In the next instant, hundreds of white birds transformed into a long immortal sword that hung in the air, as if it would stab the ground down at any moment!

Between heaven and earth, the mysterious Daoist aura lingered around the young man, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

This is the middle part of "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet"—Using the Heart to Transform All Things.

There are no specific spells in "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet", but in other words, everything in this world is a spell of "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet".

As long as one's heart is at ease and one's abilities are sufficient, one can gain some understanding of the Daoist principles governing the universe.

So a blade of grass, a leaf, a grain of sand, a cloud.

All of them can become Xiao Mo's weapons.

"Xiao Mo."

Half an hour later, just as Xiao Mo had withdrawn his spiritual power, a girl's shout came from behind him.

As soon as Xiao Mo turned around, he saw the girl running towards him.

She wore a light green dress; the fabric of the long dress was thin and light, and when she ran, the hem would flutter slightly, like ripples spreading across a lake in the wind.

The dress is also perfectly fitted at the waist, showing off the girl's slender waist and soft, graceful lines.

The girl's long, snow-white hair was loosely tied with a plain ribbon. As she ran, a few strands fell down, clinging to her cheeks, and were gently blown away by the wind.

Her eyebrows were naturally dark and green, her eyes reflected the colors of spring, and when she smiled, they curved into two crescent moons. Her eyes seemed to hold the spring water of March. Her nose was small and straight, and her lips were a light pink. She had no makeup, yet she exuded a natural vitality.

At this time, the girl was just sixteen years old. Although her figure was not yet fully mature, it was still quite good. Moreover, she was pure yet charming, giving off a "girl next door who has just come of age" vibe.

In the mortal world, a girl of this age would already be eligible to get married.

"Xiao Mo, come back with me quickly. My mother is coming to see me today, and she should be here soon."

Tu Shan Jingci said sweetly, her tone not flamboyant but charming, soft and delicate, as if it were a natural skill of the fox clan.

“Yes, Miss.” Xiao Mo nodded.

"Down the mountain, down the mountain."

Tu Shan Jingci swayed her lotus-root-like arms and walked in front of Xiao Mo.

Every time the girl's skirt fluttered gently, a pebble would be kicked far away by her embroidered shoes.

Xiao Mo and Tu Shan Jingci walked through the mountains and forests, passing through dense woods.

The girl looked up at the flowers on the branch, sunlight filtering through the petals and falling on her face, creating tiny, dappled patches of light.

Suddenly she tiptoed and reached for the flower branch high up. Her sleeve slipped down, revealing a section of her fair wrist.

She wasn't annoyed that she couldn't reach it, but instead called out to the boy behind her.

"Xiao Mo, I want that flower."

The girl turned her head and smiled, a pure and innocent smile, full of the naivety and brightness that only a sixteen-year-old possesses.

Xiao Mo did not answer, but stepped forward, leaned up, took the peach blossom from his fingertip, and handed it to her.

"Help me put it on."

The young girl, around sixteen, turned around, leaving only her back to Xiao Mo, the fragrance of her hair lingering around his nose.

Xiao Mo looked rather helpless, but seemed to be used to this kind of thing.

He pinned a peach blossom in the girl's hair.

Her snow-white hair contrasted beautifully with the pale pink peach blossoms.

"Oh dear, it's getting late, let's hurry up!"

Tu Shan Jingci glanced at the sky and realized that he was really going to miss picking up his mother, so he quickly grabbed Xiao Mo's arm and walked forward.

They've all grown up.

But for young girls, there seems to be no difference between men and women.

"Speaking of which, it has been about ten years since I came to Hanshan Academy."

Walking beside the girl, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

During these ten years.

After graduating from Qianxue Peak, Jingci came to Yunxiao Peak to study Confucianism. In fact, a remarkable sense of righteousness has been cultivated in Tushan Jingci's heart.

Jingci is also preparing for an exam recently, aiming to become a virtuous person.

In terms of cultivation, Jing Ci has now grown three extra tails.

The nine-tailed sky fox has one realm and one tail.

This means that Jingci reached the first realm of the three intermediate realms—the Dragon Gate Realm—at the age of sixteen.

In comparison, he himself, who was the same age as Tu Shan Jingci, was only at the Dragon Gate Realm.

However, although I wouldn't say I neglected my sleep and meals in my daily practice, I should be considered quite diligent.

Moreover, he had consumed a considerable amount of elixirs, spiritual flowers, and spiritual herbs.

But in Xiao Mo's memory, Jing Ci didn't cultivate much at all; he just slept every day.

This shows just how terrifying the demon race, with its noble bloodline, can be.

Xiao Mo gradually understood why the Demon Realm was a place where bloodline was the primary social class.

Because for an ordinary cultivator, several days of practice are not as effective as a person's one night's sleep.

Besides the knowledge and realm of Tushan Jingci.

Tu Shan Jingci, who has grown up, has now become the object of admiration for most of the men in Hanshan Academy.

Nowadays, everyone at Hanshan Academy knows that in the school on Yunxiao Peak, there is a nine-tailed celestial fox studying, whose beauty is beyond description.

But that's normal.

The fox clan is known for its many beauties.

Not to mention they are from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan.

Moreover, Xiao Mo felt that Tu Shan Jing Ci's appearance among the Nine-Tailed Celestial Foxes was probably unmatched.

Previously, Lady Tushan was known as the most beautiful woman in the demon world.

Perhaps in a few years, this title will fall on Jingci.

However, strange men are not allowed to approach Tu Shan Jingci's courtyard, and Tu Shan Jingci rarely attends poetry gatherings with literary talents, except when she is playing with her best friends.

Therefore, those who admired her could not build a second one and could only wait at the foot of Qianxue Peak or outside the study hall of Yunxiao Peak, just to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

When they saw Tu Shan Jingci, they were all stunned. It was only after Tu Shan Jingci had been gone for a long time that they slowly came back to their senses.

That one glance was enough to keep them tossing and turning every night, as if everything in the world had lost its color.

Many young masters of the demon race wrote love letters to Tu Shan Jingci, but Tu Shan Jingci did not accept a single one or read a single word of them.

Although the girl was naive and didn't know what "love" was.

But the girl knew that she didn't like any of those demons.

Not long after, Xiao Mo and Tu Shan Jingci returned to the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Xiao Mo saw Liu Shui hanging clothes to dry.

Although Liu Shui's talent was only average, she was indeed very hardworking.

Now, at the age of twenty-one, Liu Shui has reached the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

To ordinary mortals, Liu Shui is already considered a deity from the mountain.

However, Liu Shui's mother was unaware of her daughter's cultivation practice.

Liu's mother always thought of her daughter as an ordinary person, and as she got older, she wanted to introduce her daughter to a few marriage proposals.

But Liu Shui rejected them all.

After Liu Shui entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, although the path of cultivation could only be understood by herself, the guidance given to her by Xiao Mo and Yue Shi was extremely limited, and no one would cause trouble for Liu Shui, so she didn't need to come to this villa.

However, Liu Shui still came over often as usual to clean the yard, do housework, and wash clothes.

However, Liu Shui was not washing Tu Shan Jing Ci's clothes, because her clothes were washed by maids.

The willow water was used to wash Xiao Mo and Yue Shi's clothes.

This feeling is like Liu Shui being Xiao Mo and Yue Shi's servant.

Even though Tu Shan Jingci, Xiao Mo, and Yue Shi refused many times, Liu Shui still persisted.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

However, what Xiao Mo didn't know was...

Every time Liu Shui washed his clothes, she did so with extra care.

"Miss Tushan, Young Master Xiao, you're back."

When Liu Shui saw Xiao Mo and Tu Shan Jingci return, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Yes, Sister Liu Shui, we're back." Tu Shan Jingci nodded and quickly took Liu Shui's little hand. "My mother will be here soon. Sister Liu Shui, why don't you stay for a meal?"

"No need, no need for that trouble." Liu Shui quickly waved her hand. "Some relatives will be visiting today, so I should probably take my leave now. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to be late."

"Alright." Tu Shan Jingci's expression showed regret. "Then Sister Liu Shui, please be careful when you go down the mountain."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss."

Liu Shui bowed slightly, exchanged a few final pleasantries with Tu Shan Jingci, and then left the courtyard.

As Liu Shui was leaving, she secretly glanced at Xiao Mo a few more times, her gaze seemingly softening.

Tu Shan Jingci naturally noticed this and asked Xiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, have you noticed that Sister Liu Shui seems to treat you differently?"

"What's different?" Xiao Mo asked.

"I can't really explain it, it just feels a little different." Tu Shan Jingci pouted.

“Then you’re overthinking it. In my opinion, Sister Liu Shui has always been like this.” Xiao Mo smiled.

"Is that so? Okay then."

Tu Shan Jingci glanced at Liu Shui's retreating figure.

Even though Xiao Mo said that, she still felt that Sister Liu Shui had been treating Xiao Mo differently from others lately.

Just as Tu Shan Jingci was pondering what was different, a familiar fragrant breeze wafted from the sky.

"Mother."

Tu Shan Jingci's eyes lit up with joy, and he stopped worrying about other things. He looked up at his mother, who was walking through the air, and waved his hand incessantly.

Tu Shan Xin Hua fell from the sky and transformed into human form.

"Greetings, Madam."

The maids, including Yue Shi, bowed slightly.

Xiao Mo also bowed in greeting.

"Mother, you haven't come to see your daughter for half a year! Have you forgotten about me?"

Tu Shan Jingci ran forward, pouting her little lips, her tone filled with a delicate resentment.

"No matter who I forget, I will never forget you, my little girl. It's just that I've been a bit busy lately." Tu Shan Xin Hua's eyes were full of maternal love and tenderness when she saw her daughter.

"Come here, let your mother take a good look at you."

Tu Shan Xin Hua took a step back, held her daughter's shoulders, and carefully examined her.

"Yes, the girl has grown taller and is even more beautiful."

"Of course, after all, I resemble my mother." Tu Shan Jingci said coquettishly, hugging his mother's arm.

"You silly girl, when did you become so sweet-talking?" Tu Shan Xin Hua flicked her daughter's forehead. "But being sweet-talking won't help. Get ready, your mother will test your studies later."

"ah???"

Tu Shan Jingci became unhappy when he heard that his mother was going to test his studies.

She suddenly realized that it was actually quite nice that her mother didn't come so often.

After dinner, Tu Shan Jingci made an excuse that he was a little sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.

But she was still dragged back and seriously tested by her own mother.

Parents testing their children is rarely a pleasant experience.

Half an hour later, Xiao Mo saw Jing Ci pouting and walking out of the room looking aggrieved.

Besides examining Xiao Mo's knowledge of the mirror, Tu Shan Xin Hua also wanted to test the results of Xiao Mo's cultivation over the past six months.

When Tu Shan Jingci heard that her mother was going to test Xiao Mo, her eyes lit up.

"I can't let my mother scold me alone; Xiao Mo has to be with me too."

Tu Shan Jingci thought to himself.

But the result made Tu Shan Jingci somewhat unhappy.

Because his mother was very satisfied with Xiao Mo's cultivation.

"Xiao Mo, your cultivation is indeed quite good now."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Tu Shanxin praised him.

Xiao Mo not only reached the early stage of the Dragon Gate Realm at a young age, but also had a profound Daoist aura around him, without any impurities. It is evident that "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet" is truly very suitable for him.

Given time, Tu Shan Xin Hua believed that Xiao Mo, at the age of twenty, might be able to reach the Golden Core realm.

Importantly, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and had a steady temperament, without any of the so-called "arrogance" that geniuses are known for.

"Thank you for your praise, Madam. My achievements today are all thanks to you and Miss."

Although Xiao Mo's words contained exaggerations, all the resources he used for cultivation over the years did indeed come from Tu Shan Prefecture, including the cultivation techniques he used.

"No need to thank me. Tu Shan Manor's training of you is not a charity. Just protect Jing Ci well from now on," Tu Shan Xin Hua said.

"Yes, I will do my utmost to protect you, Miss," Xiao Mo replied.

Hearing Xiao Mo say that he should take good care of himself, Tu Shan Jingci's eyes curved into crescents, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

But the next moment.

Tu Shan Xin Hua's words made Tu Shan Jing Ci unhappy.

"Xiao Mo, you're still living in this courtyard, right?"

Tu Shanxin looked at Xiao Mo indifferently.

"Starting today, you should move out."

　I recommend a book by a friend—"Playing with the Northern and Southern Dynasties"

　　The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were a time of absurdity and beauty, where men, women, and children could all be served at the table. Han Kun traveled back to the Northern Qi Dynasty and almost became a dish on the table, but had to use his special skill of spinning wheels to turn the tables.

　　Han Kun: "I'm very angry right now."
