Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

“It’s something from when I was a child; I’ve grown up now.”

As the girl explained, Chen Ruoan watched as she deliberately touched her two bare feet together lightly, her round and delicate toes scratching back and forth. Looking up, he saw her eyebrows curved into soft arcs, a smug look on her face as she carried out her wicked scheme.

“You’ve become bad,” the fox said.

That shouldn't be the case. Isn't having jade for everything a special fetish that older perverts will develop in the future?

A girl living in a secluded Miao village can perceive the beauty of jade feet and use them as a weapon for attack.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ruoan remembered an important way Wei Shufen contacted the outside world and understood society, and suddenly realized: "Yu Dafu's 'The Past'."

"I...I haven't seen it." The girl hurriedly shrank back.

bingo.

With a flick of Chen Ruoan's fox paw, the carved silver ring, controlled by the magic of objects, was placed on Wei Shufen's ankle.

Chapter 103 Fox, Your Home is Gone

Chen Ruoan was not a foot fetishist in her previous life. However, she remembered some passages vividly because Yu Dafu's descriptions were so realistic that she could even recite them backwards.

The erotic imagery in "The Past" is full of sensuality and realism, revealing physiological pleasure.

The narrator in the story fantasizes about feet, having bizarre dreams. When the narrator sees fragrant, white, sticky rice, they think of her feet. If her feet were actually mixed in the rice, and the narrator were to suck on them, she would feel a strange itching pain and make a cry that is neither real nor unreal...

A tribute to the legendary gourmet.

Of course, these are not important.

To Chen Ruoan's surprise, Wei Shufen's attacks became increasingly "out of line".

In another two or three years, when she's an adult, I wonder what new tricks she'll come up with.

Fortunately, the fox had a certain amount of mental maturity to rely on. If this were still the innocent young chef from his previous life, he would probably have been seduced in no time.

"Let's give it a try," Chen Ruoan said.

Despite her scheme being exposed, Wei Shufen remained calm and composed. She calmly and generously activated all her magical artifacts, unleashing her protective aura, soul restriction, and escape techniques to defend herself, making her defense virtually impenetrable.

Some martial arts techniques, combined with the hail of bullets, cause particularly terrifying damage to the body. Chen Ruoan spent several more days refining more protective magical artifacts.

Afterwards, the fox refined a cloth bag to store items, naming it "The Backpack Mom Packed".

"Why use such a long and strange name?"

"Because the backpacks my mom packed were very spacious, they were always filled with all sorts of things."

Chen Ruoan still remembers that every time she left for university, her suitcase would become unimaginably "big" if her mother touched it.

“Okay, Mommy.” Wei Shufen changed to a shorter and more direct name.

The fox felt insulted.

After tidying up the ritual implements, Wei Shufen folded her hands together, covered a wisp of spiritual light, and handed it to Chen Ruoan.

"Guess what it is?"

"Love Potion: Sincerity".

"This is so boring."

Wei Shufen muttered as she let go of her hand. In her palm was a plump wild silkworm. The Gu worm, after being refined, shimmered with spiritual light, and its quality even far surpassed the one in Chen Ruoan's hand.

In terms of aptitude for refining Gu, the fox believed it was no less than the girl before it, so why was its Cheng Gu inferior?

really weird.

Chen Ruoan and Wei Shufen compared the two silkworms and found that their functions and effects were exactly the same as the love poison in Qinghe today, but far from the realm of the legendary sincerity poison.

"What's missing?"

The girl, lost in thought, gently poked the plump silkworm with her finger. Perhaps she had guessed the answer, but the missing nourishment was too far away for her.

"It's okay. I can do things that others can't."

"Try harder, try harder." Wei Shufen secretly cheered herself on. The fox next to her started fiddling with the silver ornaments again, this time for herself, as a supplement to her demon core.

···

Late at night.

The summer heat of June in western Hunan has completely dissipated, leaving only a cool and refreshing atmosphere in the mountains. The evening breeze, carrying the moisture from the streams, feels soft and not cold against the skin.

The moonlight, like scattered silver, fell upon the green stones by the stream. Chen Ruoan sat beside him, his dark fur softened by the moonlight. He looked up at the moon, quietly absorbing the clear light, his fox body surrounded by a faint silvery halo.

Wei Shufen approached quietly, the ankle bells ringing crisply, her eyes full of curiosity.

"How will your body change after absorbing moonlight like this?"

The black fox lowered its eyes and said in a soft voice, "It's just to keep the fox body healthy and free from disease. With the help of the Xuan Yin Life Protection Method, it can temporarily slow down the aging of Qi, retain vitality, and thus prolong life and live a few more years."

How many years can he live?

"Ten years or a hundred years? I can't say for sure."

Who knows whether an accident or tomorrow will come first?

Wei Shufen had read many tales of the strange and supernatural. In those stories of love between humans and gods, or entanglement between humans and demons, the authors always liked to portray lifespan as a painful obstacle.

She never imagined that such a fantastical story from a folk tale could actually happen to her.

She gazed at the black fox in the moonlight, a hint of trepidation in her eyes, and asked softly, "Can humans also absorb moonlight?"

Chen Ruoan gently shook his head: "The Xuan Yin Life Protection and the Moon Worship Breathing Techniques are unique supernatural abilities of foxes. Humans have different physical endowments and cannot learn them."

Animals can learn from humans, but we rarely hear of humans trying to learn to be like animals.

The girl's fingers clenched the hem of her dress. When she looked up, her eyes held a stubborn seriousness as she asked:

"Can you teach me some methods of 'cultivating both body and mind'? Didn't you say that the ultimate goal of human cultivation is to cultivate 'body and mind'?"

Beside the stream, the evening breeze rustled, and the bells on her silver anklets jingled softly. Wei Shufen lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering, as if something was welling up inside them.

If I grow old and frail every day, and I keep chasing after the fox, I'll probably be looked down upon...

Chen Ruoan gazed at the girl quietly.

Pray to the gods, and then strive with all your might to get closer step by step. There will always be a day when your wish is fulfilled. Isn't this girl in front of me just like that, persistently pursuing the vision in her heart?

"I teach you."

···

From then on, Chen Ruoan settled down in Qinghe, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.

The remote mountains of western Hunan are secluded, and the days there are either long or short. In a daze, it seemed as if he had stayed for much longer, so long that he himself had forgotten the exact number of days.

Wei Shufen grew up under his watchful eye, her figure gradually becoming more slender and graceful, her curves becoming more and more captivating, and she was a mature young woman with a graceful figure.

"There are only a few months left, do you have any new thoughts about me?"

Wei Shufen wore an indigo-blue crop top, the soft and flattering material accentuating her slender waist.

Chen Ruoan, perched on the rooftop, replied to those below: "Good news. Despite our days and nights of discussing cultivation, we ultimately failed to forge a brotherhood."

"What would that make you?"

"She's almost grown up to be a little sister."

"Can't my sister do it?"

The fox crossed its front legs, making a gesture of refusal.

The idea is avant-garde, but also very dangerous.

The girl, her cheeks puffed out in anger, went out to gather herbs with a bamboo basket on her back.

Chen Ruoan found it strange that someone who didn't have high expectations would stay in Qinghe Miao Village for a year or two.

What kind of world is it outside?

The fox calmed its mind, listening to the prayers conveyed by the incense, memorial tablets, and fox pendants. Fewer wishes were being expressed from the people; the majority still prayed for peace. The voices of the heart were noisy and confused.

Chen Ruoan pulled himself out of the turbulent current and heard a somewhat familiar voice.

Upon hearing this, the fox hastily descended with divine will and landed on the top floor of the Moon-Inviting Pavilion on Mount Tai.

Before me stood a woman dressed in fine clothes with a gentle face. She stood guard before the incense, gazing tenderly at the fox head that had formed in the wisps of smoke.

"Fox, you finally heard me."

Upon seeing the woman's outfit, which featured a mix of highly saturated, bright colors reminiscent of dopamine, Chen Ruoan immediately guessed her identity.

"Little Phoenix, you have successfully transformed into human form."

"Yes. But fox, your home is going to be gone."

Chapter 104 The Storm Is Brewing

What do you mean my home is about to disappear?

A sense of unease crept into Chen Ruoan's heart.

The political situation was turbulent and social order was chaotic. The provincial government and local authorities had neither sufficient funds nor the awareness to plan and develop the scenic area.

Against this backdrop, the only major event that could significantly impact Aolai Peak would be a large-scale campaign similar to the "destruction of temples to promote education" and "elimination of superstition" that Shaolin Temple once experienced.

The little phoenix closed its eyes and nodded, but the persecution suffered by the entire Mount Tai was far more than that.

In 1928, the provincial government, which had moved to Tai'an, demolished and altered the historical sites.

Another year later, the four corner towers of Dai Temple at the foot of the mountain were completely demolished, the main hall of Bingling Palace was destroyed, the ancient stele of Guandi Temple was broken, and Yaoyue Tower escaped the disaster because of its strategic location.

During the Central Plains War in 1920, Mount Tai became a military high ground, and the temples of immortals and Buddhas were turned into barracks and warehouses.

The Inviting Moon Pavilion was affected by the war, suffering from artillery fire and stray bullets. The herb garden in the courtyard was left with shell craters, the stone ox was blown away, and the first and third floors were also damaged to varying degrees.

The Moon Invitation Pavilion is dilapidated, and Little Phoenix wants to repair it.

The golden pheasant, far removed from the world and lacking any knowledge, had no idea how to begin construction.

After listening, Chen Ruoan sighed.

It would be better to turn this into a tourist attraction!
