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

This is what Haoyang cares about most.

During this life-risking cultivation session, Dongfang Haoyang could clearly feel that the flow of time around him had increased significantly.

A wave of fatigue washed over him. He rubbed his temples and looked around. It was still pitch black. This simulation of life-risking cultivation had encountered too many unexpected events, such as the fact that he had just reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

A large-scale demon invasion occurred, which cost him 3 years of his lifespan to fight, greatly slowing down his cultivation speed. However, Haoyang also benefited from this misfortune, as he obtained a lot of valuable information about the creatures inside the cave.

"As long as I consolidate my current level, the Third Young Master? He's nothing to fear!"

A ball of golden divine fire appeared in his hand, illuminating the surroundings. Looking at the stone door that was exactly the same as when he entered, he coughed twice and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Having reached such a high level of cultivation, he could naturally sense the certain foolish fox that had been guarding outside.

"Miss Ya Ya, are you there?"

"You stinky cockroach! You're alive?! I thought you were dead! It's been a month, and I've asked you every day, but you haven't answered a single word!"

Has a month already passed...?

That's great, I thought hundreds of years had passed...

Dongfang Haoyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside, Tu Shan Ya Ya threw the Xuan Tie hammer in her hand to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The worry on her beautiful face eased considerably after hearing Haoyang's voice.

Dropping the hammer, the little fox demon clapped her hands, crossed her arms again, and sat down next to the cave with a hum.

If Dongfang Haoyang didn't pay attention to her, Ya Ya was really going to bang on the door. This stinky cockroach had been in the cave for a month, not saying a word or eating, which had worried her terribly.

"I'm sorry I made you worry."

"Has a month passed now...?"

"Well, to be precise, it's one month and five days."

"You...have you been here all this time?"

"Otherwise what? Since I said I would protect you, I naturally won't go back on my word!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya crossed her arms and smugly hummed as she pulled out a slightly loose stone from under the mountain gate and stuffed a large bag of food inside.

Dongfang Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled gently, and secretly remembered this kindness.

Using the divine fire as a candle, the package that had been stuffed inside was opened. Inside was an exquisite bamboo basket containing two dishes of meat, two dishes of vegetables, and several meat buns with decorative edges.

The gurgling sound resembled that of an owl, but upon closer listening, it could be discerned that it was the protest of a certain fox's hungry stomach.

Haoyang smiled and shook his head, while Tushan Yaya blushed slightly and covered her lower abdomen.

"Miss Ya Ya, let's eat together."

As Dongfang Haoyang spoke, he casually raised his hand, and a large hand in the void was about to lift the stone door open.

Seeing the stone gate begin to shake violently, Tu Shan Ya Ya quickly ran over to stop it.

"Don't touch the stone door. It's protected by a restriction. If you do, my sister will think I'm disturbing your seclusion, and she'll scold me when she gets back..."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled, slowly lowered his hand, and gently made a swipe in the air in front of him, creating a phantom spatial gate. At the same time, a transparent spatial gate also appeared outside.

Spatial power was clearly insufficient for him, a powerful being at the Tribulation Transcending stage, but his current Void Realm cultivation was enough to give him a go.

"Miss Ya Ya, go through that door and you can come in."

"..."

"Miss Ya Ya?"

Dongfang Haoyang waited for more than ten seconds but did not receive a reply. Instead, he heard the sound of digging outside. The sound came from a small hole under the stone door, which was the only place where light could penetrate from the outside.

Suddenly the light was blocked, and a small, milky-white fox head popped out. The human and the fox stared at each other for a moment, and the snow-white fox gave a human-like "hehehe" smile.

Dongfang Haoyang was slightly taken aback, and was held captive for a full 0.5 seconds before smiling helplessly.

"You're quite resourceful."

"That's right! Who do you think I am! Wait a minute, I'm coming in now."

The milky-white fox spoke in human language, chuckled, and pawed at the ground with its snow-white limbs, trying to crawl out of the small hole, but it suddenly couldn't crawl any further.

"Huh?!" The little white fox was slightly taken aback and looked behind it.

No matter how hard she kicked with her four snow-white legs, her lower body and nine large tails remained blocked outside, unable to squeeze in.

Ya Ya's lower body was stuck outside the small hole. Her nine snow-white fox tails were taut. She used all her strength, but she still couldn't squeeze in.

"Ugh, you stinky cockroach! I'm stuck!!"

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

Dongfang Haoyang watched the little white fox kicking and thrashing about, its comical and clumsy movements truly making him laugh. He covered his face and turned his head away, trying his best to keep his laughter down.

"Ugh, you stinky cockroach! Stop laughing at me, pull me out of here!"

"Hmm, okay, pfft~" (Can't help but laugh)

Seeing the little white fox with tears in its eyes, it was so angry it was about to explode, looking like it wanted to take itself down with it.

Fearing that she would cry and scream when she came in, Dongfang Haoyang carefully went through all the sad things in his life several times before wiping away his tears and barely suppressing his smile.

With his lips pressed together, suppressing the wildly upturned corners of his mouth, Haoyang's facial muscles trembled incessantly. He grasped the two snow-white front legs that the little white fox had extended, and with a gentle pull, he finally managed to pull Ya Ya out of that awkward position.

Tu Shan Ya Ya transformed into human form, patted the dust off her red and white coat, and then her gaze met that of someone who was still trying not to laugh.

"Were you just making fun of me?!"

Seeing the little fox's mournful expression, Dongfang Haoyang coughed twice, trying his best to keep a straight face.

"No, no, pfft!"

Recalling the image of Ya Ya whimpering while stuck in the hole, he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Dongfang Haoyang is professionally trained and doesn't usually laugh, unless...

"Aaaaah, you're making fun of me! I'll fight you to the death!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya blushed with embarrassment and stomped her feet in anger. She then transformed into a white fox and bit Dongfang Haoyang's forearm.

"Stop, stop fooling around, it's my fault, I won't laugh at you anymore, okay?"

Dongfang Haoyang raised his hand, looked at the milky white nine-tailed fox hanging on his forearm, stroked its fur, and comforted it with a smile.

But the little fox's fur felt so good that he couldn't resist petting it a few more times.

Yes, the feel of this is perfect, he would give it a perfect 12.

This little fox demon is so silly, but so adorable.

"You stinking cockroach! I'll fight you to the death!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya clung to his arm like a pendant, her attitude firm, whimpering softly, with an expression that suggested she was determined to perish together with Hao Yang today.

Glug glug.

After a 2.5-second pause, the nine-tailed fox demon glanced at her belly and decided to take care of her bodily needs first…

The little white fox, whose belly had begun to protest, slowly opened its mouth, transformed into human form, covered its lower abdomen under its red coat with both hands, blushed, and its folded ears stood up slightly.

Dongfang Haoyang smiled and handed the food to the little fox demon.

"Hmph, you stinking cockroach, I'll hold this grudge against you for life!"

"Don't you dare tell anyone! Or I'll fight you!"

"Turn into a fox and let me pet it, and I might consider it."

"Ugh, you filthy cockroach! Don't even think about taking advantage of me again!"

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Shan Ya Ya snorted and smashed the wine pot on the ground, then put her hands on her hips and looked at the mysterious-looking boy sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Unless, unless we make a bet! Yes! A drinking contest! If you can outdrink me, I'll change!"

"If you can't outdrink me, you can do whatever you want with me! How about it?!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya chuckled as she looked at Dongfang Hao Yang, who had a helpless expression. When it came to drinking, Tu Shan Ya Ya had never lost!

One hour later.

Dongfang Haoyang gently stroked the little head of the nine-tailed white fox in his arms, sat on the mountaintop, felt the cool breeze, watched the pink petals fluttering in the sky, looked up at the newly risen crescent moon and the starry sky, his lips curled up, his mood calm.

"Hiccup! Weren't you in seclusion? Why are you out here?"

"Because the stars are so beautiful today! Didn't you say you wouldn't turn into a fox? How come you've turned into an adorable nine-tailed white fox too~"

"Hmph! I'm a woman of my word!"
