While waiting, a magical little fox ran out of the bathing room. It was obvious at first glance that it was the Goddess of Heavenly Fox.
The maids would naturally convey the news of his return to Princess Jing'an. Even if she was enjoying a hot bath, the princess would come out soon.
The intellectual beauty who had just come out of the bath had a rosy face, and the hot mist was floating around with the fragrance of a mature woman. She was beautiful and charming, and her charm remained undiminished even without makeup.
The two fox ears on her head were trembling, which was the Heavenly Fox Queen's way of telling the princess that she was happy.
"Let's go inside and talk first... Why isn't Yao'er bothering you?" Princess Jing'an was very curious. She looked around for her daughter, suspecting that she had hidden herself.
Chu Wuji smiled and said, "I brought the little white tiger back. Now she is playing with Yao'er. The little white tiger will stay in the palace until the New Year. Then Madam White Tiger will come to pick her up."
The princess suddenly understood. This made sense. She was still wondering why she hadn't seen Yao'er. She smiled and said, "There's no such thing as disturbing me. I just wanted to give Yao'er another playmate."
"Princess, please go back to the house first. I'll make some midnight snacks and send them to the old house. We've been traveling all day. I'll come find you later."
Princess Jing'an wanted to ask the chef in the mansion to prepare a midnight snack, but thinking that Madam Bai probably wanted to enjoy her son's cooking, the princess did not get involved. She said, "Okay, then I'll go see Yao'er."
The mature and beautiful young woman, exuding the elegance of books, turned and walked towards her daughter's boudoir. The fox ears on her head and the tail under her skirt quietly disappeared, turning into a ray of light, and followed Chu Wuzhi to the kitchen.
Princess Jing'an did not notice the changes. She passively accepted the "training" of the Sky Fox Goddess. Her body was able to breathe in and out spiritual energy spontaneously. Her energy and spirit were getting better and better, and her skin and blood seemed to be several years younger.
However, Princess Jing'an still knew nothing about the abilities of cultivators. It was not until she looked in the mirror and saw the fox ears that she realized that the Heavenly Fox Goddess was in her.
When Princess Jing'an arrived at her daughter's boudoir, she looked at the hustle and bustle in the room and was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.
She walked over to the two cute little blonde girls, gently stroked their heads, and subconsciously looked for their little horns.
"It's truly a rare and exotic beast. After it fully transformed, I almost didn't recognize it..."
Princess Jing'an looked at another little girl with gray hair, and Xiaotu was also looking at this beautiful woman.
"This should be the incarnation of Little White Tiger, right? What's his name?"
"Her name is Xiaotu. How did mother recognize her as Little White Tiger?" The little princess was very curious. She didn't recognize her at first.
Princess Jing'an smiled but said nothing.
The white tiger-head hat was worn on Yaoer's head. Even though it had lost this distinctive identity feature, the little white tiger's adorable and silly temperament had not changed at all!
There is no need to use the process of elimination to confirm the identity.
"Yao'er has more playmates now. During the Chinese New Year this year, I'm afraid she will be so busy playing that she will forget about the cats."
"How could that be? I can walk the cat with Xiaotu, and Xiaotu is also a big cat~"
Princess Jing'an got up and went to the closet, where she took out some of her daughter's old clothes. These were clothes that no longer fit her daughter as she grew taller, but Wen Yaoer liked the styles, so she kept them as treasures.
Princess Jing'an said, "Yao'er, could you give Xiaotu some of your most precious clothes?"
Wen Yaoer nodded. She was reluctant to throw it away, but she would not be stingy with her friends.
Miss Baihu knew that Princess Jing'an was a good person, because she had picked out fresh beef to feed herself last year, unlike someone who not only picked expired meat, but also the kind with a lot of fat!
She showed off her pink little arms and said, "I'm not cold. I'm strong and healthy. I feel great!"
"I know you're not cold, but if Xiaotu goes out to play with Yao'er tomorrow, others will think I'm deliberately abusing you and making you suffer from the cold, and they'll say bad things about us~"
Princess Jing'an spoke in a soft and gentle voice, as if she was coaxing a baby, tenderly and lovingly.
The little white tiger nodded and asked again: "Then what should I call you?"
"You can call me whatever Yao'er calls you. Human etiquette is the norm. You can learn it later if you want. Xiaotu is here to play with Yao'er, not to attend classes. Just be happy!"
Princess Jing'an is very self-aware. All she knows are calligraphy, painting and the art of playing the piano. She doesn't dare to be a teacher and teach the children on behalf of Lord Baihushan. What if she teaches the children incorrectly?
"Having fun is indeed important, but you still have to work hard at practicing, otherwise you'll feel a little...guilty when you play."
When Miss Baihu saw that the princess and Yao'er were looking at her with curiosity and surprise, she began to talk about what she had seen and heard in Chizhao Town, the girl who had come back to life from the dead, and also mentioned the fight between Chu Wuzhi and the beast.
"...I wasn't idle at the time either. I stood by to help, and frightened the golden-haired beast. Otherwise, it would have taken flight. How could the bipedal beast's magical powers have hit it?"
Wen Yaoer's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her eyes were full of admiration, which made Xiaotu feel embarrassed. However, she didn't know that Yaoer's admiration was directed at Chu Wuzhi.
Princess Jing'an was a little dazed. She had just heard that Chu Wuji was going to pick up the little white tiger, so why did he run to the border town of Tianji Country and do such a big thing, chopping off the ancient strange beast!
In her memory, the last time Chu Wuzhi took action was when her mother's family caused trouble. He used his powerful hands to subdue the guy who was pretending to be a ghost.
How come in Xiaotu's description, Chu Wuji's true power was so powerful that it shook the mountains and the earth? Wasn't this almost like a god?
The beautiful princess looked incredulous. She muttered to herself, "Last year, Wu Ji left the capital and went up the mountain to practice cultivation. It seems he hasn't gone to the immortal family to practice since then. How come he's become even more powerful?"
Wen Yaoer sat in the quilt in a duck-like position, legs bent, her body soft and delicate. She recalled what she had seen and heard in the palace before. The girl asked:
"Xiaotu, are you now the mountain god of the Lihuo Mountains?"
Miss White Tiger recalled the humiliation of being trapped in the stone prison. She pouted in frustration and said:
"I am the mountain god of a small section of the mountain range, and my mother and the Twolegs are the mountain gods of the entire Lihuo Mountain Range."
Princess Jing'an was even more surprised, her bright red lips opened wide and she couldn't close them.
She had a general understanding of the ownership of the Lihuo Mountains. Because it was too long and spanned a lot of areas, it was divided by several countries. The Lihuo Country only occupied a part of it. How could Chu Wuji take over the entire mountain range in just one trip?!
"I thought you were just going into the mountains to pick up Little Tu to play, but why did you do so much?"
......
in the kitchen,
Chu Wuji had just heated up the pot when the charming and lively little magic fox jumped up and leaped into the man's arms, transforming into a peerless beauty with natural charm.
Chu Wuji was still cooking, but luckily he reacted quickly and used his arms to support the enchanting and graceful body of the Heavenly Fox Lady. One arm supported her waist, the other arm hooked around her soft and fragrant knees, and he took a horse stance, fearing that he would drop his own Fox Lady.
The fox girl's jade arm was hooked around Chu Wuji's neck, and she was thinking about her young master very much. She smiled sweetly and said:
"I haven't eaten the food cooked by my young master for several days. I miss it so much~"
Chu Wuji was about to reply, "I miss the Fox Goddess, too," when he heard the fox girl add faintly:
"You're not just going to make a midnight snack for the white snake and the green snake, and leave me no share, are you?"
......This is only the first night since I came back, but I have a feeling that things will be bad in the next few days.
The pot had just been heated up and the water hadn't boiled yet, but Chu Wuzhi, who was sitting in front of the stove, was already sweating profusely.
He adjusted his posture, letting the Fox Goddess hold him on his back. He used cooking to cover up his inner panic and said:
"Yes, I was just planning to finish the work at the old house and then come here specifically to ask what the Queen would like to eat! I still have a lot of things I want to share with the Queen of the Sky Fox. Even though you've only been away for a few days, I still feel like I've missed you for so long!"
The eyes of the Sky Fox Goddess were strange. She looked at Chu Wuji with a pair of enchanting and charming fox eyes and said happily:
"You've learned to be sweet-talking. You've been in the mountains for a few days. Are you going there to learn how to speak nicely?"
When people are pushed, they can still squeeze out some of their language potential...
Chu Wuji said sternly, "I miss you too much. The true feelings accumulated in my heart will turn into true feelings on my lips."
Although she was surprised, the Fox Queen really liked her lover's sweet words, so she didn't make things difficult for him for the time being and ordered some dishes for him to cook.
Chu Wuji didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly fried a plate of stir-fried pork belly with a strong aroma and let the Sky Fox Queen eat it next to him to cheer herself up.
After a full meal, the Fox Goddess's playful mood would turn into lazy fatigue, and Chu Wuji would have a moment to breathe.
"Goddess Sky Fox, how's the progress of your cultivation in borrowing another body? I see you're in good spirits." Chu Wuzhi started cooking a dish while the stove was still burning.
"It's still the same. If I continue to practice for another half a year, I'm afraid even Xiaoyao'er will learn the art of illusion and turn herself into a cat ear for fun."
The fox girl sat on a small stool behind Chu Wuji. The narrow stool supported her ripe and plump peach buttocks. She held the stir-fry in one hand and picked up the vegetables with chopsticks in the other. Her pair of slender and smooth snow-white legs were busy, so she raised them high and rubbed her feet against Chu Wuji's back.
Chu Wuji paused in his cooking, not having time to feel the tender soles of the Fox Goddess' feet. He said:
"It doesn't matter if there's no progress for now. It's a good thing that I can maintain my spirits! I still remember those few days before we left for the Western Regions, the Sky Fox Queen was sleepy all day long. I was so worried!"
The Sky Fox Queen was very satisfied with Chu Wuji's midnight snack. She finished it quickly and climbed back onto his back.
The fox girl could feel the changes in Chu Wuzhi, and two days ago she even caught a glimpse of subtle movements in the Lihuo Mountains.
Just as she was about to ask, her nose smelled something. After sniffing carefully and confirming the details, the Sky Fox Queen asked with ill intent:
"My dear, why do your lips taste like milk? Whose juice did you taste?"
"......" Chu Wuji wiped his sweat. How could it become so hot in the middle of winter?
Chapter 205: The attitudes of the two mothers.
Chu Wuji didn't dare to hesitate too much when facing the Fox Goddess. If she found out that he was hiding something, the Fox Goddess would get very angry. Her temperament was completely different from Bai Sujin and Ning Xianzhi.
He resumed cooking, the flames blazing, the oil scalding, the ingredients dancing in the stir-fry, and then he confessed calmly:
"Ahem, it's a strange fruit from the forest. I guess it developed new medicinal properties under the influence of seasonal spiritual energy. My green snake aunt started producing juice after eating it..."
"And then? There seem to be two different milk flavors. Your Green Snake Aunt can't be a ball on the left and right, with one flavor on each side, right?"
The Fox Goddess spoke with great interest. Now that she had something interesting to ask, the midnight snack in her mouth seemed to become even more delicious.
But the Fox Lady's pleasure was exactly what Chu Wuji feared. He was really afraid of meeting the ladies, and he didn't want the situation at Tinglei Ridge to happen again.
"The food is going to burn. Why are you distracted and hesitant?" The fox girl's tender feet continued to rub Chu Wuzhi's back.
Chu Wuji quickly shook the pot and spoon twice, quickly put the fruit on the plate, and then said nervously: "Because my white snake mother also ate the fruit, based on the principle of not wasting nutrients, I used it to fill my stomach..."
After he finished speaking, he quickly wiped the sweat off his face and smeared his salty hands all over his cheeks and mouth corners, trying to cover up the slightest smell.
Wiping the face seems redundant, but it is actually necessary. Aunt Green Snake only touched his mouth, but Bai Sujin's chest was plump and proud, enough to suffocate his entire face tightly. It was probably because of this that some breath was left and stained on his hair. He didn't even notice it because he didn't clean it properly.
The Fox Goddess seemed to be lost in thought. She smiled and said, "Young Master, go get a fruit. I want to play with this, too. I haven't experienced it yet."
"It seems to be gone." Chu Wuzhi's words were evasive.
"Have all the fruits in the mountains been picked, or are they gone from the young master's two snake spirit elders?"
“…” Chu Wuji was speechless.
He had finally experienced the power of the questioning by the Sky Fox Goddess. No empty words could hide her sense of smell. At first glance, her inquiries seemed calm and gentle, but in fact, they were pressing step by step, leaving Chu Wuji no room to maneuver.
He gave up on tea and said dejectedly, "I wanted to share my experience of this trip with the Sky Fox Queen. It was so exciting and lively, but why is she only focusing on the fruit?"
"It's not a conflict. You can talk to me when we go to bed together tonight. I'm going to deliver a midnight snack later anyway, right? Bring back some fruit."
The fox girl snuggled into Chu Wuji's arms, revealing a look of resentment from being alone in an empty room for so long. Her fingertips gently tickled his heart, and she said pitifully:
"It's just an unknown wild fruit, is it that difficult? Otherwise, how about we go into the mountains to pick some in a couple of days and treat it as a picnic?"
Yes, it is possible, but all the fruits on that vine were packed up and taken away by Aunt Green Snake. There is not a single one left. She has monopolized them all.
If I want to find that kind of fruit now, unless there is a substitute, I can only ask my aunt for help.
"The fruits are all with my aunt. She's a bit stingy and might not be willing to give them out."
"They will definitely ask you to stay at the old house tomorrow and spend the night with them. I won't argue with you tomorrow night, but you have to exchange some fruit for it. Isn't that quite generous?"
It seemed quite generous, and it actually saved me a lot of trouble, and I could get a day's truce token, but something was wrong...
Chu Wuji couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment. He asked curiously, "Goddess Tianhu, how did you know they would definitely want me to stay there tomorrow?"
"It's easy to imagine. Would those snake sisters let you do nothing but suck? Now that they're back in Lihuo Capital, they're definitely going to snatch my child from me. How shameless..."
The Fox Goddess pretended to sigh helplessly, and those who didn't know her would think she was the original mother who was abandoned by her husband.
Chu Wuji could only bite the bullet and said, "It's cold, and the food is getting cold quickly. I'm going to go deliver some midnight snacks first. I'll also help Lady Sky Fox negotiate a piece of fruit for me. Is that all right?"
"Okay~"
After getting the fox girl's nod, Chu Wuji brought two plates of dishes and took a jar of wine from the palace. He first gave a portion to the little white tiger, and then quickly moved back to the old house to serve supper and wine.
Bai Sujin was not hungry, but she had to try the midnight snack her son had specially cooked for her.
Aunt Green Snake was not actually hungry, but she was just greedy. She ate a few bites happily and gave a thumbs up, expressing her high recognition and appreciation for her taste buds!
Chu Wuzhi poured wine for the two elders, then pulled Aunt Qingshe out of the room and started talking in private.
"Auntie, I want to discuss something with you..."
"What are you trying to talk to my aunt about, sneaking around like that?" The pretty and heroic girl nibbled on her chopsticks, gazing at the younger generation curiously.
"I'm buying a piece of fruit on credit. Ahem, it's what the princess wants. She wants to relive the feeling of breastfeeding her child and feed the little princess a few bites."
Chu Wuji felt guilty and silently apologized to the princess in his heart for letting her take the blame for no reason.
Auntie Qingshe was a little suspicious. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "In the time it takes you to cook, the people in the palace already know about this fruit?"
"Aunt, you forgot. When we were in the Mountain God Cave, Xiaotu signed the Mountain God Canonization Book. Princess Jing'an was naturally curious about what adventures there were in the deep mountains in winter. I just mentioned it casually and mentioned the fruit..."
"That's fine, after all, he's the one taking care of you, so I can still satisfy your small request."
