Chapter 220: Big Idiot, Are You in There?
The bed on New Year's Eve was warm like spring, even a little hot. The body temperatures of several people combined together to create a more blazing fire.
The old house is located near the downtown area, separated only by a wall, and all noises on the street can be heard clearly.
The muffled sounds of firecrackers and fireworks rang out in the distance one after another. The sounds were not deafening, but they made the windows tremble slightly, covering up the muffled sounds nearby in the room.
A subtle sizzling sound.
This strange sound came from under the quilt. After the Sky Fox Queen and the Green Snake Aunt started to compete with each other in verbal combat for Chu Wuzhi's granary, Chu Wuzhi did not dare to look at Bai Sujin.
In this situation, Chu Wuji was not sure if he could persuade the two of them, and the White Snake Mother was in an awkward position. She could not stop the Sky Fox Queen and her sister Xiaoqing, and it was not convenient for her to get involved. She avoided talking about what happened in the hot spring last time.
"Well... I'll try to persuade them." Chu Wuzhi forced a smile, and then secretly glanced at Bai Sujin.
The White Snake Mother was indeed a little angry and anxious. Her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed on her gentle face with skin as white as cream, and her crimson lips were lightly bitten, as if she was anxious and troubled.
We had agreed from the beginning not to mess around, to let Chu Wuji have enough energy to concentrate on studying the technique, so why is he taking advantage of the situation and causing such a mess?!
The white silk tender feet of the Sky Fox Lady were placed on both sides of Chu Wuji's shoulders. Chu Wuji stretched out his hand and scratched the slippery pink soles of her feet, trying to attract her attention by tickling, and said:
"Goddess Sky Fox, stop messing around...hiss, let's have a normal chat again, talk about something else!"
The Sky Fox Queen would not ignore her lover and baby. Just as she was about to reply after she gave in, the Green Snake immediately attacked and fought for it, wrapping around the granary like a ball of thread. The Sky Fox Queen lost a lot of her advantages, which made her laugh in anger.
"I have indeed witnessed the power of the snake spirit. This letter can be used in this way. I am really envious!"
After being attacked by the Green Snake, the Sky Fox Queen had no intention of responding to Chu Wuji. She lowered her center of gravity and sat back, directly suppressing Chu Wuji and preventing him from interrupting or distracting her.
She said incoherently, "If you cause me to fail again, I will be angry!"
Bai Sujin couldn't blame the fox girl, because tonight was her home court. She had no choice but to live under someone else's roof. She could only say to her sister:
"Xiaoqing, stop messing around. What have you done to this nice chat? Let Senior Tianhu have fun on his own!"
The green snake aunt in the bed had already revealed her snake eyes, and she was full of fighting spirit and determined to win. She said:
"Sister, I'm trying to get the first soup of the spring after New Year's Eve. Don't stop me!"
"Wu Ji's New Year's soup..." Bai Sujin muttered to herself. She was stunned for a moment before she realized what it meant.
In many things, the word "head" is a matter of fighting for status. Some restaurants make soup in large buckets for the whole day. The first soup has a strong and fresh taste, and water is gradually added to the subsequent soup base to prevent the soup from drying up during the continuous heating process.
When it comes to Chu Wuji, there is no distinction between the first and second soups, but when I think about the fact that it is the first time after the Beginning of Spring and New Year, it seems... it has some meaning?
At least when they started arguing with each other, when they mentioned that Chu Wuji was the first to receive the soup this year and had submitted the tribute to their side, their status seemed unusual.
Thinking of this, Bai Sujin took out the small piece of cloth with a strong frankincense scent from her arms, tied it over her beautiful eyes, then with her cheeks blushing, she got into the bed without saying a word.
During this period, the Fox Goddess and the Green Snake Aunt both teased the White Snake, but the White Snake pretended not to hear and played deaf, only focusing on getting the first soup.
Chu Wuji was suppressed under the Peach Fragrance Mountain and could only calmly accept the current situation, quietly allowing others to bully him, not daring to spoil their fun.
At least it's harmonious now. If we really disturbed her, who could have predicted what kind of trouble the Sky Fox Queen would do?
Don't bore yourself.
*
The sound of firecrackers drowned out the loud crowing of roosters at dawn, and the old year had passed.
The hawking sounds coming from outside the window gradually woke up several people in the house.
The three women were all powerful monks and did not need sleep, but after playing last night, they still slept very sweetly and peacefully. After having a great time fighting, they went to bed directly.
Chu Wuji woke up the earliest. The three beautiful elders' jade feet were placed near his head. He didn't dare to move away for fear of disturbing their happy sleep.
At this moment, a doubtful voice floated from the room:
"So, who was responsible for the first soup last night?" The voice of the Fox Goddess was so gentle that it made people's hearts melt just by listening to it.
"It's mine. It was on my side at first, but I blurted it out because I choked." Aunt Green Snake insisted.
"I don't think this one counts. It's all stuck in our hair and faces. The result will be invalid. The next one will count!"
Bai Sujin did not participate in such embarrassing arguments. The cloth tied around her eyes had loosened without her noticing. She turned around, went back to Chu Wuji, and pushed the ripe peach off his face.
The beautiful white snake woman whispered to Chu Wuji, "Mine!"
Chu Wuji laughed, but he didn't dare to judge. He just nodded quietly and quickly changed the subject:
"Let's go back to the palace and take a bath first, and clean up quickly. If you're any later, the little ones will be back and make a big fuss."
The three women had no objection. They could use magic to clean up quickly, but the experience of bathing and relaxing was something that magic could not provide.
But Goddess Tianhu wanted to stay in bed a little longer, so she turned around and put her pair of slender white arms on Chu Wuzhi's chest. She remembered something and checked Chu Wuzhi's hair. The black stubble had gone beyond the roots of the hair, and it was easy to see now without having to specifically part his hair.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps due to the influence of the light ball between the eyebrows, the white hair of Chu Wuji gradually lost its dryness, and the ends of his hair became more moist and vibrant, but it was still white.
This means that the ends of his hair will probably turn white in the future, black inside and white outside, and he will have a chance to be related to the iron-eating panda.
After checking his hair, the Fox Goddess lay back on his chest, the heavy, plump waves pressing on the young man's heart. The fox girl showed off to the two snake-like women beside her:
"When the young master was close to me, his heart was beating so fast. I could feel his heart beating even at such a great distance. It was so powerful~"
Aunt Green Snake curled her lips and reminded helplessly:
"You're right. Wu Ji has such a strong body, his heart rate must be stronger than that of an ordinary person. When I first met him, I could feel his heartbeat. He hadn't even started tempering his body at that time!"
The Sky Fox Lady's slender hand pressed against Chu Wuji's heart. She glanced at the Green Snake's dimensions and said, "Your thickness is thin, so of course it's easy for me to feel it. It's about the same as when I put my hand on it~"
This is a rumor and slander. Aunt Green Snake is definitely not that thin-skinned, so she won't care about it, let alone get angry. And there is one more thing to note...
"I was using my sister's body of merit. Her two lumps of fat were comparable to Senior Vixen's!"
Bai Sujin couldn't join in the conversation, nor did she have the desire to.
Because there is no clear superiority or inferiority in this topic, and the advantages of both parties are relatively close, it is difficult to get angry no matter how much we discuss it.
Chu Wuji picked them up and immediately returned to the bathhouse in Prince Jing'an's Mansion to quickly bathe and clean themselves.
After breakfast, the princess and her companions had not returned yet, but there were already servants waiting at the door to greet them, so they must be on their way.
Chu Wuzhi had no need to visit relatives, so he continued to set up his fishing array and meditate.
The two elders, the White Snake and the Green Snake, did not want to go back to the old house, so they simply wrapped themselves around Chu Wuzhi's arms, occasionally following the contours of his muscles, crawling between the corners, and wrapping around his abdominal muscles.
At first, the Sky Fox Goddess rode on Chu Wuji's neck, watching the fish swimming around and pinching his cheeks for fun. After noticing the two snake spirits messing around, the Sky Fox Goddess transformed back into a nine-tailed fox, slipped into his clothes, and hung on his chest.
To prevent those two snakes from doing bad things, you cannot keep up with their pace.
Chu Wu Ji was very helpless about this situation, but it was difficult for him to stop it, so he could only let the elders do as they pleased.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he recalled the topic of heartbeat that the Sky Fox Goddess talked about in the old house, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Use the familiar to advance into the unfamiliar. Since the innate spirit is dormant within me, it must be able to sense my body's movements. If my heartbeat becomes stronger, will it affect the spirit and resonate with it?"
"Empress Sky Fox is no longer in her physical body, but she still has a heartbeat that can be sensed by my palm. Therefore, my innate spirit should also have a heartbeat of its own."
It's like a group of people walking in a line. If one of them walks with his hands and feet timidly and is extremely confident, it is easy to lead the normal people next to him astray, making them doubt whether they are walking in the wrong direction, and eventually the whole group will follow suit.
With a new idea, Chu Wuji immediately began to try it. He mobilized the blood circulation in his body, and his heartbeat accelerated and became stronger. The muscles in his chest could be seen vibrating slightly.
The sound of this heartbeat penetrates the body and soul.
The two spiritual consciousnesses in the Yuanshen Cave were originally in a quiet and dormant "hatching" state. The white snake gently coiled around the little Qilin, and the nine-tailed fox gathered its fluffy tail and wrapped the little guy up.
They were suddenly awakened by the vibration and looked around the Yuanshen Cave in surprise.
Aunt Green Snake didn't know what was going on. She glanced at the fishing rod by the pond and muttered in confusion, "There's no fish yet. Why are you suddenly so excited? Your heart is beating so fast."
Chu Wuji's mind and attention followed the ripples caused by his heartbeat, and he began to check his limbs and bones. Then, through the information fed back by his qi and blood, he captured the existence of the tiny "foreign object" in his soul cave.
He intensified his heartbeat even more, and even the surface of the pond felt a vibration, rippling for no reason and cracks appeared on the frozen part.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the two little girls who returned from the palace have been watching him curiously for a long time.
Chu Wuji finally disturbed the heartbeat of his innate spirit, forced it to resonate with it, and gradually gained a sense of control over it.
The white snake and the nine-tailed fox were concentrating on observing the changes in the Yuanshen Cave. The rich divine light lingering around the little Qilin began to converge and merge into the little Qilin's body, helping it grow stronger.
He had vague signs of opening his eyes.
Unfortunately, the little Qilin was too small, and its body still retained the transparency of a swaddled baby, so it was unable to open its eyes smoothly.
No matter what, Chu Wuji finally found the sense of control over his innate spirit with great difficulty!
The corners of Bai Sujin's mouth twitched slightly, and she felt helpless and at a loss for words: "Spiritual cultivation requires timing, and success will come naturally when you have practiced. This physical training is too strong, it really just comes out of force..."
This is a disguised way of waking up the sleeping soul and making it resonate. If it fails to wake up, it means that the heartbeat is not loud enough or strong enough.
When the soul's heartbeat was disturbed by Chu Wuzhi, it was equivalent to the soul actively responding, resonating with him, and entering his control.
Chu Wuji's voice rang out, and he asked, "What should I do now? Why can't I see anything?"
The Fox Goddess replied, "Use your 'Fetal Breathing Technique' to accelerate the growth of your primordial spirit. You should be able to open your eyes after a while. After you open your eyes, you can practice according to the 'Heavenly Eye Technique'."
The little white tiger was indeed born into an extraordinary family. She keenly sensed Chu Wuji's spiritual activities, which seemed to be focused on his forehead.
She climbed into Chu Wuji's arms, her big round eyes staring at the center of his eyebrows, but she couldn't make out what was going on. She stretched out her little hand, tapped it gently, and asked:
"Big stupid Twoleg, are you in there? I'm hungry, wake up and cook me some food!"
Chapter 221 Training before departure
During the Spring Festival, the palace was mostly occupied with entertainment, including snowball fights, fireworks, barbecues, and other entertainment. He also went out incognito and attended a garden party on the street.
The little white tiger was having so much fun in the palace that she didn't want to go home. When Mrs. Baihu came to pick her up on the fourth day of the Spring Festival, the little girl didn't want to leave. But her character was not that willful and naughty. At best, she was just mischievous and lively. So with a look of resentment and reluctance on her face, the little rabbit chose to go back to the mountains.
Wen Yaoer was also reluctant to part with such a playmate. She looked at Chu Wuji pitifully and said:
"Brother, Little White Tiger is now a mountain god, can't she stay in the palace?"
Chu Wuzhi held the little princess in his arms and stroked the smooth skin under her chin. The sweet-looking girl soon narrowed her eyes with a complex expression of sadness and comfort.
He soothed her, "The Lihuo Mountains have been unified. She needs to return to the mountains to cultivate for a while and improve her cultivation as soon as possible. I estimate that in about half a year, Madam Baihu will no longer control her activities. Then Xiaotu will be free to come and play with you."
Xiaotu didn't have many wishes now. She ran to Chu Wuji's side, shook his sleeves, and said:
"Brother Twolegs, please cook a few more tables of food and let me take them into the mountains. I need to see some of the food and think of the people, otherwise I will miss them so much that I won't be able to sleep."
Oh, after following Princess Jing'an for a few days and looking at calligraphy a few times, you have learned the phrase "seeing something reminds you of someone"?
"Okay, I'll cook it for you later. You can make meat dishes like the baked chicken yourself." Chu Wuzhi nodded with a smile. After all, those dishes have become muscle memory and don't require much effort.
"Food tastes better when you don't have to move your hands!" The little rabbit seemed to have learned some bad habits.
Fortunately, no matter how greedy she is, she will not become lazy in the future. After fasting, Xiaotu will most likely develop the same temperament as Madam Baihu, tasting food only occasionally and no longer pursuing fullness.
This time, Madam White Tiger appeared in human form, so that if her true body appeared in the capital, the people would not think that the Nian beast was late and cause unnecessary panic.
Mrs. Baihu's long gray hair hung lazily and casually on her shoulders, slightly messy but not sloppy. Her delicate wheat-colored skin exuded a rare wild charm.
She looked at Princess Jing'an and Princess Yao'er, and remembered their appearance as mother and daughter. It was they who accompanied Chu Wuzhi to return the little white tiger.
"Princess, Yao'er, you seem to have learned how to practice cultivation?" Madam Baihu was a little surprised. At that time, they didn't have any traces of cultivation, so how could they progress so quickly!
"The master gave me some advice..." Princess Jing'an didn't know how to explain. She felt that her identity as a cultivator was unworthy of the title and she didn't dare to bear this name.
Chu Wuji wanted to bring out the Sky Fox Goddess so that Madam White Tiger could know the situation at a glance and save the trouble of explaining.
But the Fox Goddess was on Queen Wen's body, and Queen Wen was sleeping soundly in the inner courtyard, so it was not easy to disturb her.
He smiled and said, "Come to think of it, it was Madam White Tiger who helped us establish this connection. You asked us to take in that litter of little foxes."
"I see. Everyone has their own destiny." Madam White Tiger didn't delve into the matter. She simply said, "Then when the Beginning of Summer comes, the princess and the little princess can go to the mountains to escape the heat and practice. You can just let Little White Tiger pick you up then."
The beautiful White Snake Lady and the White Tiger Lady can be considered as relatives of the "Bai" family in a sense. There are not so many pleasantries between the great monsters, and a glance is enough to express a friendly greeting.
Bai Sujin said, "Madam Baihu, there's no need to rush back. Please stay here with Xiaotu for dinner before leaving. Otherwise, Xiaotu will probably make a lot of noise when he returns to the mountains."
Xiaotu hurried over, took Bai Sujin's hand, and expressed her agreement with what she said.
Mrs. Baihu nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Chu Wuzhi took the two little girls to the market to buy food, which was a disguised way of taking them shopping.
The little rabbit is like the King of Hell calling out his name. As soon as it sees pigeons, chickens, ducks and other living creatures, it points at them and asks to eat them. It points at everything it sees and is not picky at all.
Most people really can't afford to support such a big foodie.
After dinner, White Tiger Girl brought several tables full of dishes and reluctantly followed her mother back to the mountains.
Without this lively and mischievous white tiger girl, the Jing'an Palace became much quieter, and it seemed that the lively and festive atmosphere of the New Year had disappeared in an instant.
