Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

Tu Shan Rongrong nodded slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, composed herself, and revealed her standard smile.

"Young master, I apologize for my rudeness."

"It's alright. Rongrong's affairs are my affairs. Once I emerge from seclusion, no one will be able to bully you anymore."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled and ruffled Rongrong's emerald green hair.

Rongrong chuckled and playfully wagged her finger.

"Well, Rongrong has something to say. Although I promised to help you pay off the debt, it was a loan."

Dongfang Haoyang scratched his cheek and gave an awkward laugh.

"I... really don't have that much money. How about I exchange it for a wish?"

A gentle breeze blew by, and her emerald green hair fluttered in the wind.

The incredibly cute fox demon, with her hands behind her back, chuckled and took two steps back, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky with a longing expression.

"Rongrong doesn't want any wishes."

The petals of the bitter love tree fluttered in the wind, enveloping the fox spirit girl with her adorable smile, becoming her backdrop. The girl tucked her flowing green hair behind her ears, revealing her extremely cute smile. She playfully tilted her head with her hands behind her back, looking at the slightly stunned boy.

"Rongrong wants you~"

At that breathtaking moment, even Dongfang Haoyang, who had witnessed countless beautiful sights and wonders, was momentarily stunned. Time seemed to stand still as the young man gazed blankly at the radiant smile on her face bathed in sunlight, his eyes gradually softening.

"Hehe, young master, may you close your eyes?"

Haoyang, who had already guessed what Rongrong was going to do, sighed and nodded helplessly. After all, having seen Rongrong's stunning CG, he figured that the shrewd little fox demon wouldn't agree without giving something in return.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, the soft touch on her lips was fleeting. The little fox spirit seemed shy about doing such things, so she didn't have any skill, but it was very soft and warm. It was a wonderful feeling.

"Ever since you went to Tushan, Haoyang, you've helped us so much, but Rongrong can't think of any way to repay you. She just keeps asking you for things..."

Rongrong's emerald green eyes were filled with tenderness, and her face was flushed. Dongfang Haoyang smiled, noticing the detail, and his tone softened considerably.

"Why do you say that? Rongrong, you've done me the biggest favor by protecting my stupid little brother."

Indeed... if we hadn't brought him to Tushan early, that brat Dongfang Yuechu would probably have been hacked to death by debt collectors long ago, the kind you couldn't even stop yourself from doing...

Crunch.

A withered old tree branch was broken by being stepped on.

Dongfang Haoyang and Rongrong turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Tushan Honghong staring at them with her face flushed red. The two foxes and one person were immediately stunned and quickly looked away in different directions.

"Sister, when did you arrive?" Tu Shan Rongrong asked Hong Hong shyly.

"Just, just arrived."

"Isn't Lord Haoyang supposed to be in seclusion today? Let me see if I can be of any help."

Because it was conducted in secret, most of the demon kings were unaware of it. Otherwise, the news that Daoist Master was going into seclusion would have surely attracted a large number of demon kings who wanted to show their loyalty to come and protect him.

At this moment, Tu Shan Honghong's expression softened slightly, and she pointed in a direction.

The two looked in the direction Honghong pointed and found Tushan Yaya hanging Yuechu from a tree and giving her a good beating.

Tu Shan Rongrong's lips trembled slightly. What had this kid done to offend her sister this time...?

She quickly flew over to stop it.

Dongfang Haoyang silently teleported over, burned the rope binding Xiaoyue with the pig-slaughtering knot, and began treating her.

"What did you do to offend Miss Ya Ya this time?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuechu drooped his head, looking at his brother with a speechless expression.

"Brother... could you please not be alone with Sister Rongrong in front of Sister Ya Ya? I'm begging you!"

Dongfang Yuechu glanced at his brother with a resentful look, touched his swollen face and winced in pain, letting out a cry of "Ouch!"

"Ah, this..."

Dongfang Haoyang scratched his cheek, avoiding Yuechu's resentful gaze. He remembered the bet he made with Ya Ya last time: if he provoked her sister, she would take it out on her brother...

I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect the little fox demon to take it seriously.

However...

Looking at Xiaoyuechu's bruises, Dongfang Haoyang nodded slightly.

"She's only watched it twice, and her playing style is already 80% similar to mine? Is she some kind of child prodigy?"

"Brother, what are you muttering about?"

"No, it's nothing."

Dongfang Haoyang coughed lightly twice and handed two strings of candied hawthorns to his brother in an attempt to mend their strained brotherly relationship.

At the beginning of the month, when he saw candied hawthorns, he was like a dog seeing a bone, unable to move. He grabbed the sesame candied hawthorns and opened his little mouth to devour them. This is his favorite snack.

"Don't move, little brother, it'll be over soon."

"Aww."

Dongfang Yuechu hummed and was about to stuff the candied hawthorns in his hands into his mouth to gnaw on, but suddenly his gaze shifted slightly upwards, and after focusing, he met the bright red figure in front of him.

That's where Tu Shan Hong Hong is lecturing Ya Ya.

"Hehe, fairy sister, so beautiful~"

Xiao Yuechu's gaze was completely fixed on it, and suddenly the candied hawthorn in his hand didn't seem so delicious anymore.

"This time it's my fault, I've dragged you into this..."

Before Dongfang Haoyang could finish speaking, his lips twitched as he looked at Dongfang Yuechu, who had long since disappeared from sight. Then, he slowly pulled out a large spiked club from behind him.

Before he could finish treating her, that brat Dongfang Yuechu had already jumped three feet high and run to Tushan Honghong's side, holding a candied hawthorn and looking like a sycophant...

The guilt he felt earlier vanished completely, and Haoyang slowly marched out of the battlefield, spiked his mace...

(Number of players matched: 3/3)

"Fairy Sister! This is a candied sesame hawthorn with extra sugar; it tastes delicious!"

Looking at Dongfang Yuechu's sycophantic and somewhat lewd smile, Tushan Honghong broke out in a cold sweat and reached out to take it.

At that moment, a hand reached out and placed on Dongfang Yuechu's shoulder.

Dongfang Yuechu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. When he turned around, he saw that it was his older brother, who was staring at him with a very kind but menacing look.

The throbbing veins on his forehead seemed to foreshadow the arrival of a trial...

That was the suppression from his bloodline, the source of his fear. Dongfang Yuechu couldn't help but take two steps back and swallow.

But that wasn't all; there were two other pairs of eyes watching him from the side as well.

Looking to the side, I noticed at the beginning of the month that Rongrong, who was next to Fairy Sister, had a somewhat gloomy smile and slowly pulled out a solid wood abacus from behind her (the sandalwood one was accidentally broken, so this one was cheap and sturdy, and I didn't feel bad about it).

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sister Ya Ya was already carrying a spiked club, and the bulging veins on her forehead made her beautiful face look somewhat ferocious!

All three eyes fell on him...

Swallowing hard, Dongfang Yuechu, feeling guilty, squatted down on the ground with his hands behind his head and chuckled.

"P-Please, could you not slap me in the face...?"

Five minutes later...

Sitting in the shade of a tree, Tu Shan Hong Hong stared blankly in one direction, holding a string of candied sesame hawthorns with added sugar in her hand. She took a bite with her pearly teeth, and the sweet taste made her cheeks blush slightly. She looked at Xiao Yuechu, who was being beaten by three people and screaming in agony under the Bitter Love Tree.

"Fight! Fight hard! We have to fight here too, otherwise it'll be asymmetrical!" Tu Shan Rongrong shouted, waving her abacus as she joined the battle!

Tu Shan Honghong took another bite of a candied hawthorn, chewing it gently in her mouth. The sweetness of the sugar coating and the sourness of the hawthorn blossomed on her taste buds.

"Hmm, delicious, but is this also part of training? I've never heard of training like this before..."

"However, Rongrong wouldn't lie to me."

Tu Shan Honghong looked on with curiosity as Dongfang Yuechu was surrounded and beaten up by the three of them.

"Hmm, it seems... that kid is really hardworking, he's amazing, no wonder he's his younger brother."
