"......Aunt, I would be very happy if you could stop saying those inappropriate words." Chu Wuji was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Fox spirit, I want to ride too!" Aunt Green Snake changed her words as he wished.
The location of Prince Jing'an's Palace is relatively quiet, but the faint sound of firecrackers can still be heard. Every household will set off firecrackers before the New Year's Eve dinner.
Not long after the dinner started, Jiuwu Taoist also arrived. Immortal monks do not celebrate the New Year, and she simply thought she could come and have a plate of snacks to go with the wine, and by the way, she could also bring the two foals to meet Fu Guanyin.
"Then I'll take this plate of goose and braised fish away~" Taoist Jiuwu was very polite and only took half of the plate.
Chu Wuji nodded in agreement and asked with a smile, "Senior Jiujiu, have Yun Qingying and the others come down the mountain to play?"
Taoist Jiuwu shook his head. "They should be coming down the mountain in the next few days. Two of the furnaces on the immortal alchemy peak exploded, so they used it as a fireworks display. It's a once-in-a-century event, and they were watching the fireworks too."
Chu Wuji suddenly realized: "I see. Then Senior Jiujiu, please pick two more dishes and help me send them to Zhuying Peak."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Ask Wu Ji to treat me to a meal in a couple of days." The Taoist Jiuwu put a few dishes on the clouds, took the two horse girls with him, and ran away.
The White Tiger girl just returned to her room and put on tiger-head hats with Yaoer.
When she returned to the dining table and saw the food had disappeared, she felt like the sky was falling!
"Where's my chubby..."
Xiaotu ran over and shook Chu Wuzhi's hand, wanting him to go into the kitchen again.
Chu Wuji said unhappily, "You can go to the palace to play later, and there will be a dinner party."
After hearing these words, Xiaotu stopped looking tearful.
The New Year's Eve dinner was quickly eaten up. Even the cat and the little fox in the house got a few bites, but the main attraction was the little white tiger. Two tables were not enough for her.
When Si Que arrived, Wen Yaoer took Xiao Tu into the palace to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.
The Prince Jing'an's Mansion suddenly became quiet, with only a few clean plates and soup bowls left, which was a relief.
"It's my turn to show my strength!" Aunt Green Snake said, and cast a small spell. The plates and bowls flew back to the kitchen by themselves, and in a blink of an eye they became clean and grease-free, as clean as new.
The Fox Goddess smiled and said, "Tonight is my home night. I'll reserve a spot and stay the night at the old house. I've lived there for a month or two, and I'm nostalgic."
Bai Sujin sensed this was likely a gesture of kindness from the Sky Fox Lady. The old house had been Chu Wuji's home for many years, the place he settled after establishing himself in Lihuo Capital. With the Princess and Yao'er both in the palace, he didn't need to accompany them. Therefore, staying up late at the old house was much more appropriate than staying at the Jing'an Palace.
"Okay, let's go now."
After returning to the old house, the few of them did not lie down as soon as they entered the house.
The couplets at the old house have not been changed yet. This is what Chu Wuzhi, as the eldest son in the family, has to do. He was busy fishing and practicing during the day, and only now realized that he had neglected it, so he hurried to make up for it.
"Auntie, why don't you help replace the old talisman?"
"I don't have this habit..." Aunt Green Snake rolled her eyes at him and went up to help post the couplets without using any magic to take shortcuts.
She really wanted to complain, why do you question your aunt but not your White Snake mother? It's obvious that you don't dare to question her.
Coincidentally, Aunt Green Snake doesn’t dare to do that either!
The Fox Goddess had never played this before, so she jumped down to the ground and replaced the old talisman together. She also found the talisman left by Ning Xianzhi on the wall.
"By the way, when do you plan to return to your hometown, the White Snake Temple?" asked the fox girl.
"After the Spring Festival, let Wuji stay here for a few more days. What happened over there is just to settle some accounts. For me right now, Wuji is the most important child."
"Oh~"
The Fox Goddess planned to go and take a look. She had been recuperating in Lihuo Capital for too long and felt a little bored.
It’s a pity that I don’t know whose body to borrow to go with me. Yaoer and the others are definitely not suitable.
Chapter 219: Conflict with Confucians
Lihuo Palace,
Wen Yaoer took Xiaotu's hand and jumped out of the carriage together. They both wore tiger-head hats, looking very festive and cute. Two beautiful ladies in palace dresses and velvet cloaks were already waiting in advance. When they saw the two little girls, they couldn't help but smile.
Queen Wen's makeup was bright and elegant, as beautiful as a peony, and graceful and graceful. When she saw only two little guys getting off the car, and a handsome and considerate young man was missing, she felt a little disappointed, but this was expected. Chu Wuzhi's mother had "resurrected" and returned, and he would definitely be there with her. If he entered the palace tonight, it would not be like his style.
She focused her attention on the little rabbit: "It's incredible to think that this is the transformed form of the little white tiger from last year!"
Princess Jing'an saw the greasy light on Xiaotu's lips and knew that they had just had New Year's Eve dinner with Chu Wuji. She couldn't help but feel resentful towards the Queen and said:
"I missed out on a New Year's Eve dinner, oh..."
Queen Wen, the culprit, pretended to be unaware and reminded the princess not to sigh.
Xiaotu wasn't afraid of strangers, as everyone here was familiar to her. She asked excitedly, "Is there any food left?"
Princess Jing'an liked this greedy little white tiger very much. She nodded and prepared to lead the way to take her to have the second New Year's Eve dinner with the Holy Queen of Lihuo.
Xiaotu is now the orthodox mountain god of Lihuo Country. How can he not have a meal provided by the government?
Empress Wen remembered something: "We still need to go to the Forging Department and call Pavilion Master Fan. She has been helping Wu Ji tinker with weapons lately and is completely obsessed with it."
When Miss Baihu heard that one person was missing and that the dinner time would be delayed, she became very anxious and urged in a tender voice:
"I'll go and call them. Lead the way quickly, or the food will get cold!"
After saying that, she revealed her true form, a little white tiger. Her body gradually grew to the size of an adult buffalo, making it convenient for her to carry more passengers. However, her dull temperament remained, and she did not look very majestic.
The nearby imperial guards were all shocked. In the blink of an eye, a huge white tiger appeared in the important area of the imperial palace. This was a dereliction of duty on their part, a capital crime!
They retreated after seeing the Queen's gesture, but they were still worried that the white tiger might hurt someone, so they did not dare to let their guard down.
Queen Wen and others slowly climbed onto Xiaotu's back and sat down, feeling very curious.
Princess Jing'an knew the little fellow's lively spirit and warned him, "Little Tu, don't run too bumpy. We don't have a stable saddle rope..."
"Okay~"
After Xiaotu agreed, he ran fast and steadily, taking high steps with each step, and then glided down slowly. With his palms as a cushion, he was more stable than a carriage, and soon arrived at the forging department.
In the forging department on the underground floor, Pavilion Master Fan personally supervised the process of quenching the demon blood with a focused look.
Just by looking at the slow quenching speed, Pavilion Master Fan knew that Chu Wuzhi had killed a strange beast. Through intelligence, she knew that this was an ancient beast that had become extinct!
She didn't want to miss the moment when the quenching was completed. It was like winning a prize, and she felt an exciting sense of anticipation.
Pavilion Master Fan's daughter, Yang He, also rushed back from Xiaoyao Valley to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Hearing that her old mother was guarding the forging furnace, she had no choice but to carry a large bowl of mixed rice and wait with her.
Yang He took a big spoonful and suddenly found a big white tiger head next to her, staring at the fish-flavored shredded pork rice in her arms.
"Sister, your food smells so good!" Xiaotu stared at her intently.
"...If it smells good, just smell it more." Yang He protected his own bowl of delicious bibimbap and had no intention of sharing it.
Empress Wen was just about to remind Pavilion Master Fan that it was time to leave for the dinner and not to keep the Holy Empress waiting for too long, when she heard an unfamiliar roar, and the high-temperature fire in the forging furnace was shaken and flickered to the point of being extinguished.
Everyone looked towards the straight knife lying in the stove. The shadow of a beast appeared on the side, with flames burning all over its body. Then it disappeared and completely merged into the blade.
Princess Yao'er doesn't like this strange-looking beast, but that doesn't stop her from being curious:
"Xiaotu, is this the evil beast that my brother killed in the mountains earlier?"
"Yes, can we have dinner now?" Xiaotu was affectionate and devoted, unable to let go of anything else in her mind.
*
In the holy land of immortals on the other side,
The disciples of the Shenxiao Sect gathered together to watch the fireworks on Danxiang Peak, which were dazzling and spectacular.
Occasionally, you can see a few disciples who are trying to put out the fire being blown away, which adds a touch of excitement to the fun.
There was no festive atmosphere in the holy land of immortals, so Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang just treated it as a New Year's Eve celebration.
Mrs. Jiang hugged her daughter and said, "This is Qingying, your first year in the mountains. It's a little dull, but it seems happier and more relaxed than any other New Year's Eve in the past."
"Um......"
The young girl, with a delicate and beautiful face, looked like a finely carved porcelain doll. She leaned against her mother and spoke of her past state of mind for the first time.
"I used to count down the days to the end and liberation. Now I've become what people call an 'immortal,' and I still have to practice diligently, but I feel more relaxed inside."
In front, the Drunken Dancing Taoist flew by, and on the clouds stood two ignorant little blonde girls.
The carefree female Taoist priest saw Yun Qingying and her daughter, waved and greeted them, reminded them to go back to Zhuying Peak for dinner, and then flew straight to Danxiang Peak to watch the fun.
Seeing the excitement of the Drunken Taoist, she seemed to want to throw a handful of wine over to help Danxiangfeng put out the fire.
*
In the old house, the old talisman has been replaced with a new one.
The four of them were already lying in bed, sleeping together under the quilt. Since tonight was a festive occasion, they did not argue anymore and unanimously chose to cease fighting.
Even though the demons didn't value these things, they still followed the custom, because they had a happy New Year's Eve dinner in the evening and the atmosphere was cheerful, so there was no need to spoil the fun.
However, according to the previous rock-paper-scissors game, it was the turn of the Fox Queen to be the host that night, and she also accommodated Bai Sujin and the others to stay up late together in the old house to celebrate the New Year, so the Fox Queen had the priority to choose the bed.
——She chose to sleep on Chu Wuji’s chest!
This position was very honorable. Once the Sky Fox Queen took it, Bai Sujin and Aunt Green Snake could no longer rest their heads on Chu Wuji's shoulders. They could only sleep on either side, hugging Chu Wuji's arms.
Although the elders said they wanted a truce, the character of the Sky Fox Queen was difficult to predict. She might ignite the explosive Green Snake Aunt with just a joke.
Chu Wuji didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so he could only put his arms around the slender waists of the two elders, White Snake and Green Snake. His arms made a big bend, but he could still easily touch their belly buttons.
The slender belly button gap on the tight and smooth belly skin has a unique charm.
He stated in advance: "I have to concentrate all my energy and energy on pondering the existence of the soul recently. I can't spend a whole night to recuperate..."
Chu Wuji knew very well that once the three of them started talking about this matter, the atmosphere would inevitably become tense, which was something he didn't want to see.
The three women agreed readily. They had indeed seen Chu Wuji's hard work in training during this period, and he looked worried the whole time while fishing.
Auntie Qingshe comforted him, "If it really doesn't work, don't bother. I'll send a wisp of my consciousness in. With me protecting them, any foreign evil that dares to trespass will surely die!"
Before Lady Tianhu could express her opinion, Bai Sujin rejected her sister's idea without allowing any discussion.
"No, Xiaoqing, with your temper, once the external evil is eliminated, you will also destroy Wu Ji's soul cave!"
Aunt Green Snake was embarrassed and found it difficult to refute. She actually wanted to find an excuse to join in the rock-paper-scissors game. Otherwise, if her sister White Snake lost the game, she would have to suffer the consequences as well. How unlucky!
Maybe if she plays the Green Snake, she can defeat this vixen directly?
What can I do... Qing Snake knows that she has too many criminal records of acting impulsively, so it makes sense for her sister not to let her go.
The Fox Goddess's pair of soft and beautiful legs were quietly pressed together, rubbing Chu Wuji intentionally or unintentionally. However, outside the quilt, she had an indifferent expression, pinching Chu Wuji's cheek while asking:
"What are your plans after you go back and collect your debt? Are you going to rebuild the White Snake Temple and continue to be the local land god there?"
Bai Sujin was stroking her son's hand in the quilt. Chu Wuji thought she was reminding him not to touch his belly button again, and was about to withdraw his hand, but Bai Sujin put his hand back, tacitly approving his mischief.
The gentle and graceful White Snake said, "Of course not. I will leave naturally after I have paid off my debt there. I will stay by Wu Ji's side. I am his mother. I will never leave him in this life. I will stay by his side even on our wedding night."
Oh my god, it’s scary that you said this in such a gentle and polite manner... Chu Wuji wiped the sweat off his face in his heart.
The Fox Goddess was a little surprised, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "That's right, White Snake and Green Snake, you don't need to pursue too high a status. It's enough for you to practice leisurely. You can accompany Wu Ji everywhere and practice without hindrance."
What she said was not very convincing, because she had been practicing while playing, and unknowingly reached the highest peak at that time. However, for normal cultivators, whether human or demon, seclusion and training are the proper ways to improve their cultivation, and the efficiency is guaranteed.
Aunt Green Snake was usually reckless, but she was also very careful. She took the opportunity to ask:
"Senior Fox Spirit, what about you? You have to use the bodies of others to hibernate and resist consumption, but this is not a long-term solution."
The Fox Goddess was very open-minded, and her calmness was tinged with a hint of helplessness:
"There's nothing we can do about this kind of thing. We can only make a symbolic effort and then let nature take its course."
Chu Wuji knew that she was talking about finding a new method of breathing and guiding. Regardless of whether this exploration was successful or not, as long as the Sky Fox Goddess could stop the irreparable consumption, it would be fine!
He said, "Instead of dwelling on this, it's better to think about who the Heavenly Fox Goddess plans to possess, and go with her to see other kingdoms."
The fox girl nodded, and suddenly she showed a sly smile. She turned around suddenly, and her head was originally facing Chu Wuzhi, but now her head was under the quilt, and her pair of jade legs wrapped in white hollow stockings accidentally rubbed Chu Wuzhi's cheek.
The White Snake and the Green Snake couldn't sit still anymore. The Green Snake's aunt scolded first, "Vixen, we agreed to let Wuji recover his energy and spirit. Why are you breaking the rules and wearing these socks?"
"This is not a treatment... What's wrong with breaking the rules?" The voice of the Sky Fox Queen came from the quilt. The muffled, charming and pleasant voice became swallowed and unclear. The only thing that remained unchanged was the well-reasoned cunningness.
Aunt Green Snake couldn't think of any other countermeasures for a moment, so she could only dive into the bed and compete with him. She snorted coldly, unwilling to be outdone:
"Your fox clan only has an extra pair of ears and a few tails. I'll let you know how powerful the snake tongue is!"
