As soon as the fox paws withdrew, the idyllic paradise before their eyes and the scent of herbs they had smelled vanished instantly:

"What kind of blessed land is this?"

"There aren't that many blessed lands and grottoes; it's all the illusionary magic of the Su family patriarch."

Because Su Yan didn't come in for a long time, her aunt was afraid of stepping on him, so she didn't move and just watched with a black line on her face as Su Yan repeatedly jumped back and forth on her own doorstep.

The Su family patriarch was skilled in the art of bewitching, and the illusions he created could replace reality with illusion. The paradise that Su Yan saw was a dream world created by the Su family patriarch.

The idyllic paradise is both real and unreal; the distinction between reality and illusion lies in the single thought of the Su family patriarch.

"The foxes in your household are all skilled in bewitching arts, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood."

Auntie bent down, picked up Su Yan and carried her straight into the secluded paradise, almost stepping on the little fox who was turning around to go out and find Su Yan.

"Waaaaah!"

The little fox withdrew its paws, covering them with a look of fear and dissatisfaction. It whimpered twice at its aunt before turning around and leading everyone toward the secluded paradise.

"Huh? Little bug, what's going on here?"

As soon as they stepped into Peach Blossom Spring, they saw a woman with long gray hair sitting on the roots of a big tree, holding something that looked like a pipe in her hand. She was wearing a low-cut dress and looked at her aunt and her group with a puzzled expression.

The nine-tailed fox in front of her recognized Chong Qiong, and also recognized Princess Wuxi on her shoulder.

But she didn't recognize Su Yan and Jiao Nanwu, nor did she recognize the female official or the three Xia Yu guards hiding in the ground.

"Yes, your junior, Su Qing's son." The aunt walked up to the beautiful woman, lifted Su Yan up in front of her, and said with a beaming smile:

"The big fox is preparing to host a banquet recently, so I came early to see if there's anything I can help with. I also brought the big fox's son along so he can get acquainted with everyone."

"Those behind me are Princess Xia Yu's guards; they came along to ensure her safety."

"Hello, senior."

Su Yan looked at the alluring beauty in front of him, tilted his head and greeted her. The girl in front of him seemed to have a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to him in terms of her eyebrows and brows, and he could even see the resemblance of his fox mother.

But the nine-tailed fox in front of her wasn't her grandmother. According to the fox mother, her grandmother and grandfather had eloped and hadn't been able to contact them since, so she probably wouldn't be coming to the wedding banquet.

"Oh? Su Qing's son?"

The large fox, holding a pipe, shook off the ashes from the pipe, revealed a smile, and reached out to grasp Su Yan's small fox paw, saying:

"Yes, according to seniority, I am your mother's mother's older sister."

"So here's the question, little fox: what should you call me? If you can't tell me, your senior will be very disappointed and then pinch your little bottom~"

Chapter 507 New House

"So here's the question, little fox, what should you call me?"

The big fox, sitting on the tree root, looked at Su Yan, whom his aunt had held up in front of him, with a broad smile, and said:

"If you can't answer, your senior will be very disappointed and then punish you by pinching your little bottom~"

"Mother's mother's sister?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan pondered. Her mother's mother was naturally her maternal grandmother, and her maternal grandmother's sister, she should address the big fox in front of her as her great-aunt.

Thinking of this, Su Yan smiled and was about to confidently answer when he looked up and saw the playful little face on the big fox's cheek. Su Yan's confidence froze instantly.

Does the big fox have an answer to its question?

Great-aunt? Too old, I won't accept.

Sister? I won't accept this if it messes up the generational order.

"Hahaha"

Seeing Su Yan's confident expression turn into suspicion and disbelief, the big fox raised his pipe, poked Su Yan's cheek, and said with a smile, "So you know what I want to say?"

Su Yan nodded with a black line on his face. With his aunt's hands under her armpits and raised, he turned slightly to the side, revealing his side profile to the big fox.

"Snapped--"

The big fox raised its hand and gently patted Su Yan's thigh and buttocks, laughing as it said, "Oh, my grand-nephew is really sensible. Grandmother likes sensible people."

The form of address is completely irrelevant. In these ancient mythical beast clans, there is only a distinction between those of the same clan and those of different clans. In daily life, they are generally addressed with terms like "uncle" or "aunt," and those of higher seniority are usually referred to as "ancestor" without using any other terms.

Su Yan and the big fox in front of him were about three thousand years apart in age. Including those from the neighboring Qingqiu and Tushan, there were more than ten people of the same generation as the big fox.

To accurately calculate the generational order of all members, Su Yan first needs to register them in the family genealogy before calculating them one by one.

Su Yan replied that it didn't matter; the big fox just felt that Su Yan was fluffy and wanted to touch its butt.

Su Yan realized the trap in the words, so she stopped worrying about the form of address and turned to the side, exposing her side to her great-aunt for a touch.

"My grandnephew is so sensible."

The big fox smiled and withdrew its hand, saying, "Our ancestor is not currently in the clan territory. Su Qing's new residence is being built by the lake. You can just go there directly."

As the big fox spoke, he raised his hand and pointed out to the group where the fox mother was currently living.

"Waaaaah—"

Upon seeing the big fox petting Su Yan, the two little foxes that had been leading Su Yan and his group also jumped to the big fox's side, their faces beaming with excitement as they wagged their tails and looked at the big fox, eager to receive a reward.

"Alright, alright, you have some too." The big fox looked at the two little foxes and clapped his hands twice on each of them.

The two little foxes, having received their reward, immediately began jumping and leaping around the big fox, having a wonderful time.

The big fox took out the tobacco again, rubbed it, put it into the pipe, took a gentle puff, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"It feels pretty good, and it looks like our Su family fox. As long as it doesn't look like the Yazi, it's fine."

………………

Guided by the giant fox under the peach tree, they learned that the Su clan patriarch was not in the clan's territory. Therefore, instead of visiting the nine-tailed fox patriarch in the palace, they followed the giant fox's directions to Su Yan's new home.

The buildings in the Su clan's territory are all constructed of white bricks and stones. Although the roofs are also made of wood, they are uniquely designed with a double eyelid shape. The eaves of the ground floor are particularly wide, extending out to a low pavilion, and then another roof is placed on top of the pavilion. At first glance, the double-eaved design looks extremely like a double eyelid.

The use of vermilion and black seems to be a main theme of the Su family, with the buildings and landscapes using the two colors on a large scale.

Upon arriving at the palace complex by the lake, instead of seeing any handsome nine-tailed foxes, one sees monkeys with fur smeared with mineral pigments, standing on scaffolding, their faces solemn as they paint murals.

"You guys are truly something else. You've even expanded your business to the blessed land of the Su family's nine-tailed fox."

Watching the monkeys sticking out their butts, painting landscapes with brushes, and digging in the dirt to plant spiritual plants, Su Yan couldn't help but complain about these all-purpose service providers in the cultivation world.

It seems that the spirit monkeys don't really have any fixed settlements. Wherever there are cultivators, you can definitely see the spirit monkeys. Their existence and the impression that they can do any kind of work are deeply imprinted in the common sense of cultivators.

"squeak?"

A clever monkey foreman, dressed in coarse linen clothes and wearing a gray-black sash, saw a strange fox come into the construction site and hurriedly went up to it, squeaking and babbling to dissuade them from coming over.

Painting is currently underway here, and if any paint gets on the walls, the monkeys don't have enough spirit stones to compensate the nobles for their clothes.

"You guys just keep doing what you're doing, we're here to find the homeowner."

The aunt waved her hand to indicate that it was fine and she wouldn't disturb the monkeys' construction.

Although they were assured that they wouldn't have to pay compensation, the clever monkey foreman was still uneasy and cautiously led everyone to the newly completed garden to find the homeowner.

It's one thing to not be able to afford to pay with spirit stones, but if these noble people in front of us accidentally brush the paint off the wall because of the craftsmanship, the entire wall of paint will need to be washed off. There's no such thing as repainting in this process.

If the base is not done well, it will inevitably fade and crack due to moisture within a hundred years.

Sitting in the palace garden, Mother Fox seemed to sense something. As her aunt and her party approached the palace, she stopped, turned around, looked at the archway at the garden entrance, and smiled.

"Oh, son!"

The fox mother looked at the group entering, smiled, and opened a big hug to Su Yan, saying:

"Haven't seen you for over a month, have you missed your mother?"

Su Yan leaped off her aunt's shoulder, traversing hundreds of meters in a few strides through the air, and landed in her mother's arms with a smile, saying, "Of course we have concerns, so we specially came to Qingqiu Kingdom ahead of time to see if there's anything we can do to help."

"You didn't build this very well. I was worried it would be too fancy," my aunt said, looking around at the garden's layout.

"It's just for show; it probably won't be used much after the wedding banquet."

The mother fox, holding her cub, smiled and said, "Everyone, please come inside and sit down. It's perfect. I just got some peach blossom wine a couple of days ago. It's sweet and refreshing, just right to be chilled and enjoyed on a hot summer day."

At this moment, Princess Wuxi also landed on the ground from her aunt's shoulder and transformed into human form. With an undisguised lewd grin on her face, she ran to her fox mother's side, took her arm, and said:

"It's been a while since I've seen you, senior."

The two little foxes in front of the door are so-so; they haven't been weaned yet and don't fit the princess's aesthetic preferences for recruitment.

But big foxes like Fox Mother are different; they perfectly fit the princess's recruitment requirements.

Now, with the blessing of Su Yan's floating city and the skill to open the portal between the immortal and mortal realms, the princess felt she could talk to her fox mother all day long and bake her a sweet and delicious pancake.

Chapter 508 Bai Ze's Appearance

"Mother, come and see."

Upon arriving at the tea room in the new house, Fox Mother removed all the tea sets from the table into her storage ring, replaced them with a set of wine sets, placed them on the tea table, poured the pinkish wine into a decanter, and took out a translucent white porcelain wine bowl.

Su Yan downed a mouthful of wine, smacked his lips twice, exhaled a breath of alcohol, and took out a bronze mirror from his storage ring, placing it in front of him. The mirror reflected the image of the Lazy Demon, wrapped in a blanket and fast asleep:

"Is my fox demon doing right? It seems to have been sleeping here ever since it was born. Could it have some kind of congenital deficiency?"

Since consuming the Mind-Seeking Demon and awakening a Mind Demon that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could condense, Su Yan's fox Mind Demon came out to perform a lewd dance on the first day. After that, Su Yan saw that it had been sleeping soundly and hadn't moved at all.

Therefore, Su Yan felt something was wrong, so he asked the fox mother who had given him the Mind-Gazing Demon, to see if there were any deficiencies in the Mind Demon that had been formed.

The fox demon, who had been fast asleep, seemed to sense something, tugged at his blanket, turned to his side and rested his head on the pillow, leaving everyone with his back turned.

The fox demon turned over and went back to sleep, leaving everyone outside the mirror speechless.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Every cultivator's inner demon has a different personality." The fox mother looked at Su Yan's sleeping inner demon, then seemed to remember something, and looked at the fox inner demon with pity.

This unlucky fellow must have run into the Lord of the Night, who frequently visits the little fox at night; otherwise, given the active nature of the inner demons, they wouldn't be so well-behaved.

Inner demons are the evil thoughts and potentials that temporarily separate out when a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage advances to the Integration stage.

These abstract concepts are things that cultivators cannot use or refine during the Integration stage. By temporarily separating them through cultivation methods, they can better absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and enter the Transcendental Body stage.
