......
After a day of relaxing in the mountains, the next morning came.
The sky was clear, but there was a light snowfall. As the snowflakes fell, they passed through the warm morning sun and became particularly soft, like snowflakes.
Chu Wuji collected fruits in the valley and prepared to return. What was more troublesome was that the two foals forgot their original appearance and turned back to their original form, which turned out to be the form of centaurs.
But I can accept it. After leaving the mountains, I can ask my mother to help me "flash" back to Prince Jing'an's Palace.
There was a little white tiger in the team. She was making a lot of noise. I wonder if she was remembering the time when her mother took her home last year, and then she was remembering the expiring pork that Chu Wuzhi bought for her.
The little rabbit was inexplicably angry: "The meat Yao'er gave me is delicious. The meat you bought is rotten, and you lied and said it was good meat!"
...Why are you thinking about this again? I have made a lot of delicious food for you these two days. You even drank two pots of chicken soup yesterday.
Chu Wuji mercilessly counterattacked: "Little Tu, your poop stinks! I have a fire starter here, I'll light it again for you to smell."
"Don't talk about this anymore! Aren't you ashamed of yourself, you two-legged beast? You always talk about poop and even keep it in your arms. I want to tell Yaoer that you like to play with roasted poop!"
Little White Tiger was still upset about this matter. She deeply regretted that her mother had asked the people in the palace to make her poop from last year into a token of help. She could only pounce on Chu Wuji with her teeth and claws bared, trying to snatch it away.
Auntie Qing Snake began to teach the child bad things. She said, "Xiaotu, you said he pooped."
"No, that won't work. You can't fool people with this. No matter what animal's poop it comes from, the smell can't be faked." The little white tiger was surprisingly honest and simple.
Chapter 203: The Palace Becomes a Nursery
With two mountain gods in the team, they can actually travel very quickly. Relying on the resonance of the mountains, they can travel unimpeded in a moment.
As long as it is within the Lihuo Mountains, the effect of "teleportation" can be achieved.
First, sense the flow of spiritual energy in the mountains in your mind, and then a three-dimensional real-life feng shui map will appear in your consciousness. Lock onto a certain location, think about it, and you will arrive there when you open your eyes again. It is similar to Chu Wuji's introspection of his own body.
But traveling slowly is also a kind of fun. Listening to the brisk "tap-tap" sound of horse hooves and moving methodically through the mountains and snow-covered fields is like being in a trance while fishing. It is a relaxing enjoyment for the spirit.
Of course, there was still a urging voice in the team.
"Brother Two-legged Beast, why don't you go back to Yao'er quickly? It's not fun on the way!" Xiaotu asked softly.
She was full of energy. After eating and drinking, she just wanted to play. She couldn't wait to meet Yao'er and play with her, and she urged Chu Wuji a lot.
Chu Wuji secretly glanced at the beautiful mother in his arms. Bai Sujin was riding on the same horse with him, just like on the way into the mountains, but her beautiful eyes were in a trance. She was probably thinking about the hot springs and sorting out her thoughts and mood.
Chu Wuji didn't want to ruin her mood. If he went back to Lihuo Capital right now, the noise around him would only make him upset. It would be better for him to accompany his mother for a stroll in this quiet forest first.
"Xiaotu, stay at Sister Qingshe's place obediently. I'll get you some goose food when we get back. It's made with an ancient secret recipe. If you keep making noise, you'll lose it."
The little white tiger was originally running around the horse, but after hearing what Chu Wuzhi said, she changed into human form, climbed onto Aunt Green Snake's horse, and sat with the girl in green skirt, quietly and without saying a word.
It seems that in the little guy's mind, food is obviously more important than fun, and he can even endure boredom for food.
......
We continued on our leisurely journey, the shadows of the trees moving along the path of the sun.
The two foals were not running very fast, they were just walking leisurely, but they were really gifted, their pace was invisibly speeding up, as if they could shrink the distance into an inch.
After becoming familiar with the route, they walked more easily. It didn't take long before the three of them, two horses and one tiger, returned to the suburbs of Lihuo Capital.
"Brother Two-legged Beast, this is the lake where the big black bear attacked me." The little rabbit lowered her voice for fear of losing the big goose. Her bright round eyes looked around, searching for familiar traces.
But it was basically invisible now, as all the traces she had left when she escaped were buried by the heavy snow.
Chu Wuji nodded and silently responded to the White Tiger Girl.
He rode on the horse, and Bai Sujin sat in his arms. He could feel the warm body temperature of the beautiful white snake mother on his chest. Chu Wuji put his arms around the beautiful woman's slender waist and quietly held her soft hand.
Mother was silent all the way, which made Chu Wuji feel a little uneasy. He asked softly:
"Mother, are you angry?"
Bai Sujin heard her son's voice suddenly ringing in her ear, and her delicate body trembled slightly, not because of shock, but a little embarrassed. Her face was elegant and pure, and she turned her head slightly to look at Chu Wuji, her profile still impeccable.
"I'm not angry... Nothing happened, why should I be angry?" Her tone sounded a little guilty.
"I couldn't see it at that time" was just a euphemism. Aunt Green Snake just covered it with her hand casually. The gaps between her fingers were not small, so how could she really block her senses?
But I am embarrassed to mention what happened at that time. No matter how lame the excuse is, I still have to use it. At least it is a reason.
"I'm glad you're not angry!"
Chu Wuji smiled with relief, continuing to hold the White Snake Mother's jade hand with one hand, while the other hand returned to her slender waist, circling the woman's tight belly.
Both were plump and beautiful women, but Empress Wen and Princess Jing'an had full and ample breasts, and a perfect layer of soft flesh on their bellies that did not spoil the beauty of their figures. However, Bai Sujin had a towering chest, but a thin and tight belly that could hardly be held in one hand.
It was the slender willow branches that supported the huge fruit, which had a huge visual impact and was breathtaking. She was worthy of being called the beautiful Snake Beauty.
"Mom, did we ever go horseback riding when we were little?" He picked up some random topic to talk about. This was the last short distance down the mountain, and it would feel weird if he remained silent.
Bai Sujin followed her son's words and her thoughts drifted into memories. She smiled gently and said, "Yes, but not many. The places we often visit are remote and rugged, and horses have trouble walking on mountain roads."
Chu Wuji also remembered that as a child, he had saved money to buy a horse, intending to improve his travel conditions. Later, he found that after buying the horse, he could no longer take it to many places he wanted to go. Although it seemed to make travel more convenient, it also restricted his range of activities. Mother and son were homeless and could not keep the horse forever. Chu Wuji finally had to sell it at a discount, tearfully.
The greatest pleasure that the money used to buy the horse provided seemed to be the shopping joy of choosing the horse, and afterwards it was all regret.
The woman recalled her son's bitter face at the time and couldn't help but laugh. She recalled the good memories and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Looking back at the present, she said quietly:
"At that time, Wuji, you were still sitting in your mother's arms, a tiny little thing. In the blink of an eye, you grew up, tall and strong..."
"When you grow stronger, you'll be a perfect chair back for Mom. Solid and steady."
Chu Wuji laughed and muttered in his heart that if his mother showed her true form as a demon, he would not be big enough to be eaten by the big white snake no matter how strong and tall he was. He would not even feel full.
The mother and son were chatting happily, and Aunt Green Snake came over to join in the fun:
"Sister, come here and hold Xiaotu, and relive the time when you rode with little Wuji in your arms. I'll lean on Wuji's arms for you~"
"Go away!" The elegant and gentle woman in a white dress put away her smile, put on a stern face, and said to her sister fiercely.
Aunt Green Snake was not angry either. After the two sisters reunited after their disagreement, they had long lost their airs and would not have a conflict because of a few cold words or scoldings.
She jokingly said, "How heartless! I didn't cover your eyes the night before, and you're still feeling lost, like that fox and the fairy stole your son!"
Bai Sujin was hit by the words, and was said so in front of her son. She was embarrassed and said angrily:
"You want a beating! Little Tu, hurry up and pinch Auntie Qingshe's cheeks, and then I'll let your brother reward you with a kiln chicken."
The little white tiger girl was confused. What was going on? One moment she was called aunt, and the next moment she was called sister. What was the correct name?
However, the existence of the kiln chicken was enough to dispel many of the confusions in her heart.
She turned around and was about to pinch the green snake's cheek, but was bullied by the other party who took advantage of his palm and lifted the little girl in the air with one hand. Xiaotu stretched out her hand to pinch the green snake, but couldn't reach her. Instead, the green snake rubbed her little face fiercely, making her feel very aggrieved.
Aunt Green Snake was afraid that the little white tiger would really cry, so she quickly put her down and let the little girl pinch her cheeks.
She said to Bai Sujin, "Sister, I haven't collected all those fruits yet. Don't even think about feeding Wuji anymore. I have to do it again~"
Bai Sujin stared and checked the things in her sleeve, and found that her sister had really taken them away. She was angry but didn't dare to ask her sister for them back. The green snake must be getting too proud of herself now, and was showing off and making things difficult for her by relying on those fruits.
Chu Wuji didn't say anything at this critical moment. He didn't mind it anyway. He was no longer a child and could accept eating dumplings dryly.
A good child is one that his mother loves if he is not picky about food!
......
When we walked out of the Lihuo Mountains, it was already night. The woodcutters and mountain folks had all returned home and no longer stayed in the mountains. It was very quiet.
There is no snow in the sky and the winter night is calm, but the occasional cold wind will still blow snowflakes into the air.
The soldiers at the city gate had to walk back and forth beside the brazier to warm themselves.
"I was originally thinking about walking a bit and chatting for a while before heading back, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore. It's almost curfew, so I might as well just fly back."
After Chu Wuji finished speaking, Bai Sujin understood and returned to the old house with her companions in an instant.
Because Bai Sujin and the others had already made it clear that they were returning to the old house, Prince Jing'an's Mansion did not send anyone to take care of the house, so as not to disturb the peace of the White Snake and the Green Snake.
There was a lot of snow piled up in the yard, a thick layer that reached up to the knees.
Chu Wuji looked at the situation and said helplessly, "It's too late to clean up in the middle of the night. I'm a bit lazy... Mother, Aunt, are you going to stay at the palace?"
Bai Sujin shook her head. She was in a good mood, but she didn't want to go to the palace to meet the vixen, for fear of ruining her mood.
Aunt Green Snake replied, "There's just snow here at the old house, it's not dirty or dusty. Why bother with so much? Send Xiao Ma and Xiao Tu to the palace, or Xiao Tu will make too much noise at night."
The little white tiger girl disagreed, emphasizing in a logical manner, "Why would we make a fuss? My mother said that we tigers are top predators, and we are always quiet at night so as not to disturb our prey!"
This statement is really doubtful...
It felt like Mrs. Baihu was using this forced statement deliberately to coax the little kid into sleeping peacefully.
At least in Chu Wuzhi's impression, tigers are not very particular. If they are in a good mood at night, they will roar. The roar of a tiger is so loud that it can be heard from two hills away.
Chu Wuji stopped arguing with the little white tiger. He picked up the little rabbit and told the two foals to transform back. The two cute and lovely blonde girls followed Chu Wuji hand in hand.
"Mother, Auntie, I feel like Yao'er will be pestering me tonight and talking about our experiences in the mountains. I'll come over early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Bai Sujin nodded gently, a faint smile on her moist lips.
Auntie Qing Snake had more opinions: "I want to have a midnight snack, Wuji, bring me a dish and some wine later~"
"I want one too!" Xiaotu's ears trembled.
Chu Wuji agreed repeatedly, not daring to have any objections. After putting the knife back into the "Anvil Blade", he turned around and walked out, heading towards Prince Jing'an's Mansion.
He had a worry in his heart. Now that he had "reconciled" with the White Snake Lady, she would ask him to go back to the old house to sleep overnight in a few days, while the Sky Fox Lady would ask him to stay at the palace overnight...
What should I do?
This was a completely foreseeable situation, especially since the Fox Goddess was playful and liked to make things difficult for him for fun, so she would most likely make this request to torment him.
"It's difficult. How can we break the deadlock? Which side should we accommodate then..." Chu Wuji had already put on a bitter face.
Xiaotu listened to his mumbling and thought he was talking about food. She patted her chest and said generously:
"It's simple. I can finish this meal by myself. Just give in to me~!"
"We'll both be making supper later, so I won't make it for you."
"I'm going to complain to my mother. You took all the fruit from that vine!"
"Okay, I won't miss Xiaotu's share." Chu Wuzhi gave in. As expected, he was not willing to return the favor. The fruits on the vine were indeed picked by Aunt Qingshe, and even the vine was almost pulled out.
Chu Wuji walked into the palace. The maids on duty were a little confused when they saw him being surrounded by women, like he was taking care of a baby.
Whose child was abducted back to the palace?
But they did not forget their work. They immediately went to inform the princess and the little princess about Chu Wuji's return.
Soon, the voice arrived before anyone could see it. A clear and sweet voice called out from deep within the palace:
"Brother~!"
Then, the sweet and well-behaved Wen Yaoer was seen running out. She was only wearing thin sleeping clothes and looked like she had just come out of the quilt. Her little feet were cold and her toes were curled up, but it couldn't stop her enthusiasm as she ran towards Chu Wuzhi.
As soon as she saw Chu Wuzhi, Wen Yaoer threw herself into his arms like a young swallow and snuggled into his chest.
"You girl, don't you feel cold? You ran out barefoot without even wearing shoes." Chu Wuzhi scolded softly in annoyance.
"I was cold just now, but I'm not cold anymore in my brother's arms!" Wen Yaoer said, and her bright black eyes looked at the other girl in the tiger-head hat, wondering who she was.
"This is Little White Tiger, don't you recognize him? These two are the foals. You've seen them as centaurs, and now they're fully transformed."
Xiaotu is not good at speaking, so she chooses to change back to her true form to explain her identity more intuitively. Wen Yaoer hugs her affectionately in surprise.
"I have a tiger-head hat too, and it comes with a cape! The foal has transformed, but why doesn't it seem like it can talk?"
Chu Wuzhi didn't stop the little girls from playing. He sent the girls to Yao'er's boudoir and let them chat by themselves.
"Yao'er, where is the Sky Fox Goddess?"
"At my mother's place. I went there in the evening."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and have fun. I'll go check on the Sky Fox Queen and the Princess."
Chapter 204 A Bad Omen
When Chu Wuji went to find Princess Jing'an, she was bathing in the bathhouse.
In principle, it would be fine for Chu Wuji to go in openly, but there were some things he had to avoid. The maids in the palace were serving Princess Jing'an, so Chu Wuji was not in a position to show up, so he waited outside.
