Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Chu Wuji sat alone by the campfire, his mind involuntarily surfacing the image of Empress Wen's voluptuous figure. Her age was ripe and plump, yet her skin was delicate and supple. The moment her dignity was pierced, her shy and resentful cry was louder than the heavenly music of the harp hall...

Chu Wuzhi didn’t think anything of those scenes at the time, but now when he thinks back on them he loses control and can’t stop them, they linger in his mind.

"It's bad, just like when I accidentally ate deer antlers..."

Chu Wuji was muttering, not noticing that Ning Xianzhi, with her bare feet, had come to his side and heard his words.

"What happened after accidentally eating deer antler?"

When Chu Wuji heard his godmother's voice, he was suddenly startled, but it was too late. The woman had already sat down beside him, staring at him with a stern face.

Ning Xianzhi raised her voice slightly, "Tell the truth quickly, or mother will be angry!"

Deer antler can greatly replenish yang energy.

Ning Xianzhi didn't dare to think about it. Chu Wuji had such abundant energy and blood that a piece of ice would melt immediately if placed on his chest. Wouldn't it be wrong to eat that kind of thing?

Chu Wuji wanted to hide some embarrassing things, but his godmother was interrogating him, so he could only confess:

"When I was eleven, more than ten hunters went into the mountains to hunt the Seven-Colored Deer King. I saved the deer, and it gave me the antlers that the hunters had cut off to eat..."

Seven-color deer antler?!

That is a rare thing that can make eunuchs "take root and sprout" again. If Chu Wuji eats this thing, he will probably run into the White Tiger Mountain King and have to "take risks and get tiger cubs"!

Ning Xianzhi's mouth twitched slightly as he continued to question, "And then?"

"My mother first massaged me with her hands to help me disperse some of the turbid Yang. Then she asked the witch doctor to invite a big white snake to coil around me until the pain subsided. That's about it..."

Snakes tend to be cold and yin in nature, so they are a good choice to help dispel the medicinal effects of deer antlers.

Ning Xianzhi knew that Bai Sujin's true form was a white snake. Wasn't she using her true form to entangle Chu Wuzhi and help him dispel the excess power of the medicine?

Although this is a bit inappropriate, it is understandable.

But, but Bai Sujin is the elder who raised this child, how could she do such a thing!

Couldn't she ask other snake demons for help? Why did she have to come in person?

...However, it is acceptable. I thought that this child forced another girl on impulse, which was not considered a bad thing and did not cross the line too thoroughly.

By the campfire, the only sound left was the crackling of burning firewood.

Chu Wuji said tentatively:

"I'll be on guard all night, and I won't get into the carriage without permission. Mother, you can go in and have a good rest first. Don't come out and worry about me."

Ning Xianzhi exhaled heavily through her nose and said:

"I'm not worried about you, Mom is just afraid that you're tired. You've been in the capital for nearly a year, running around and making decisions everywhere, afraid that you'd miss the opportunity to help me find a doctor or medicine.

Now that we've left the capital, you're still exhausting yourself. I'm afraid you might damage your vitality without even noticing, so I'm here to coax you to rest..."

Ning Xianzhi and Chu Wuji didn't spend a long time together, but these words were not calculated, but sincere.

Ning Xianzhi has seen Chu Wuji's seriousness and dedication in just these few days.

At an age when one is most likely to act impulsively, he was able to restrain himself and endure the bad atmosphere in the martial arts academy.

It is easy to imagine how much effort he put in during the time when Bai Sujin was "unconscious"!

In addition, Ning Xianzhi was comforted by him during the day, so now he naturally wants him to get out of the invisible pressure left by Bai Sujin and not be so nervous.

She pulled Chu Wuji into her arms and said softly:

"Relax, don't worry about my condition anymore. I still have my old friend to take care of me. You can rely on her more. Otherwise, if you exhaust yourself, I won't be able to rest in peace."

"......Well, then mother, you go back to the carriage and rest first. I will sleep secretly later!" Chu Wuzhi responded reluctantly.

Chu Wuji had always been very resistant to women. A big reason for this was that the only woman he had the most contact with was Bai Sujin. Apart from Bai Sujin, the only other women he had were the various female beasts in the mountains and forests. Bai Sujin's appearance was extremely beautiful and graceful, so women of average or above average appearance were not attractive to him.

When he was in the study with Queen Wen, things happened so suddenly that he was a little slow to react and just went along with it. Now when he thinks about it, the aftermath is a bit overwhelming.

The Queen's confused and infatuated expression was engraved in his mind and could not be erased for a while. Even with his godmother's tolerant heart as his pillow, he could not help but think of the beauty brought by Queen Wen.

Ning Xianzhi noticed Chu Wuji's evasive look and thought he was just being stubborn and refusing to rest.

He works as a coachman during the day, so how can he not sleep well at night?

She asked, "Can you sleep peacefully without your mother by your side? You only sleep soundly when you pinch the jade pendant."

Chu Wuji hesitated for a moment and then expressed his embarrassment: "My mind is full of random thoughts, and I need some time to calm down. If my mother is next to me, I will feel a little embarrassed..."

Ning Xianzhi had just stood with his hands behind his back and quietly cast a "heart-clearing technique" on him. Normally, it should have worked long ago, but the young man in her arms showed no sign of recovery.

She guessed that Chu Wuji was not actually having any random thoughts, it was simply that his energy and blood were gathered there. At his age, he might be sleepy and dozing off, but some part of his body would inexplicably become alert.

Ning Xianzhi decided to slowly correct the negative influence the snake demon had on him. She said with a smile, "You were embarrassed because the two girls in the car saw you. Why are you embarrassed in front of your mother?"

"..."

Chu Wuji was gently pressed down by the beautiful woman, with his head resting on her plump thighs. Ning Xianzhi was afraid that in this position, he would have to raise his arms with great effort to pinch the jade pendant, so he took the initiative to lower his waist. Although the two proud snow-capped breasts inevitably pressed against his face, the jade pendant was much closer to him and he could easily touch it.

"If you hold the jade pendant like this, your arms won't get tired, right?"

"No, I won't."

Chu Wuji stuttered in response, the image of the queen lingering in his mind was dispelled by this pressure.

Ning Xianzhi continued, "No matter how majestic you are outside, you will always be a child in my eyes. When you are tired, you should rest comfortably in my arms. Understand?"

Chu Wuji's vision was blocked by two soft masses. He was silent for a while and was about to respond with "hmm" when he suddenly felt a cool, smooth and delicate hand gently holding him.

"Mom, what is this...?"

Ning Xianzhi was afraid that he would be too nervous, so he didn't use a harsh tone of admonition, but instead taught him in a gentle and persuasive voice:

"This isn't right, but in order to let you rest well and dissipate the fatigue you've accumulated over the past few days, I'll help you disperse the stagnant Qi and blood. This is the last time!"

Chapter 50: Aunt Forced to Take Over

"This is indeed the last time. Do you, a ghost girl, want to have another chance?!"

A thousand meters away, at the top of an ancient tree, a girl in green stood with her arms crossed, and said with a cold snort.

Her eyes were normally no different from those of an ordinary person, but at this moment they were like emerald green snake pupils, focused on the small campfire site where Chu Wuji was, monitoring what was happening there.

Since Yunhe Town, the green snake has been walking around the capital to see if there are other monsters hiding there. It has not been following Chu Wuzhi all the time, and only confirms his life or death after a few days.

It was impossible for her to follow the human brat all the time; she didn't have the patience.

After Chu Wuji left the city, the green snake began to follow him all the way, and gradually discovered that the female ghost in Bai Sujin's body was a little unusual and knew some magic.

A female ghost who is proficient in righteous magic such as talismans and mind-clearing techniques has an unusual origin.

"This road leads to the Divine Sky Sect, right? Isn't this female ghost afraid of being annihilated by the immortal disciples... Could it be that she wants to take her sister's remains to claim the reward in exchange for merit?"

"Before, I saw that you, a female ghost, were thinking about revealing your true form as a white snake, so I tolerated you staying in my sister's remains for a few more days. Now you are going a bit too far!"

Green Snake was not sure about the ghost girl's motives, but she had no good feelings towards the so-called righteous forces of the immortal and Buddhist sects.

The incident at the White Snake Temple was still vivid in Green Snake's mind, and it still frequently surfaced in her mind, unable to let it go...

What if the people from the Shenxiao Sect want to track down my sister's true form through the merits and wishes on this relic?

It is difficult for the Green Snake to know all the magical powers of the immortals, and it cannot ensure that such a thing will not happen.

While we can still prevent it from happening, we must resolve the hidden danger and drive away this female ghost!

The green snake's cold eyes turned to focus on Chu Wuji, and she murmured:

"This child that my sister raised, if the female ghost doesn't use the real body of the white snake to test him, then I will!

Bringing his reaction back to my sister will be considered as fulfilling her instructions and ending this fate. In the future, whether he cultivates immortality or worships Buddha, it will have nothing to do with us sisters."

The green snake's figure disappeared into the night.

She did not act immediately, but instead carefully set up an ambush on the road ahead. If a fight broke out, it might attract passing disciples of the Shenxiao Sect and cause more trouble.

Sometimes Green Snake couldn't tell whether this was indecision or cautiousness. She only knew that after the incident at the White Snake Temple that year, she began to question herself.

Is this action, which I think is right, causing trouble for my sister?

*

The moon has not yet set, but the sky is already a little pale and the road can be barely seen. It's time to set off.

Chu Wuzhi slept on his godmother's legs in the second half of the night and woke up. He accompanied her to the stream to wash her hands and then stayed up all night until dawn.

Yun Qingying had originally agreed to take turns keeping watch with Chu Wuzhi, but she found herself sleeping until dawn and felt extremely ashamed.

"Tomorrow night, I'll be the watchman... No, I'll be the coachman, and you go and rest."

"We'll talk about it later. Drink the hot tea first. It's quite cold in the autumn morning. Warm yourself up. Give the other cup to Mrs. Jiang."

Chu Wuzhi handed the last two cups of hot tea to the girl, then stomped out the fire, but did not kick away the bonfire made of stones.

It would be useful if other passers-by passed by here at night.

There are many bonfire spots in the wild, left by passers-by to tell those who come later that it is safe to spend the night there.

I heard that some small town settlements gradually developed from such campfire camps.

After the carriage set off, Ning Xianzhi called his son over and asked Chu Wuji to act as a warm-up tool.

During the journey yesterday, Ning Xianzhi asked him to talk about trivial things in the past in order to liven up the relationship between the mother and daughter next to them and prevent the atmosphere from being so stiff and silent.

This part of the journey today was purely what Ning Xianzhi wanted to hear. Although it was boring, she liked to see Chu Wuji's excited expression when he recalled the past.

Chu Wuji was actually a little tired, because after waking up in the middle of the night, he had already started telling his godmother about the past, but his godmother had found his "weak spot" last night, and he was too embarrassed to be tough and refuse his godmother's excessive demands (referring to constantly asking him to tell stories).

Do you really think he is so kind as to prepare hot tea for Mrs. Jiang and her daughter in advance?

No, he just talked in the middle of the night until his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking.

"...I'm lost for words, so let's talk about bonfires in the wild. One time, my godmother and I encountered a group of bandits who used bonfires to fish and trick passersby."

"The bandits were too small to cover several nearby mountain roads at the same time. The size of the startup team limited the development of their robbery business, so they came up with the idea of ​​using campfires as fishing spots."

"At night, when they saw a bonfire lit, they knew guests were coming and would gather their troops to set out. My mother and I almost got into trouble, but we were lucky enough to defeat these bandits!"

Ning Xianzhi thought that Bai Sujin was really holding back. She didn't even take action to kill the bandits, and even pretended that she had "luckyly won."

"Then why didn't you kick the bonfire down? What if it was used by other bandits?"

The person who spoke was Yun Qingying. Unexpectedly, this cold-faced girl seemed indifferent to external affairs and was actually listening to Chu Wuzhi's "chatter".

Chu Wuji solemnly stated:

"Because there are some leftover fish bones from our meal, we need to let other passersby know that we caught a big fish in the creek next door!"

"..."

Yun Qingying stared at him expressionlessly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she chose to remain silent to leave Chu Wuji some dignity.

There was a hint of helplessness mixed with a smile in Ning Xianzhi's doting eyes as she looked at Chu Wuji. She was full of anticipation for her future life in the sect.

My own fairy peak should become lively. I can catch anything except fish. I don’t even need a fishing rod and fish will jump to my feet.

Suddenly, Ning Xianzhi's expression changed slightly, and his look gradually became serious.

"Strange, why does it seem like there is the aura of a formation?"

This is not her body, and she is not a demon yet, so it is difficult for her to fully display the demon's senses.

The sense of danger coming towards her became stronger and stronger. Several divine talismans floated out from Ning Xianzhi's palms, and she shouted:

"Who! Stop sneaking around here! Do you know that the land below you borders the Divine Sky Sect?"

Yun Qingying and Mrs. Jiang were confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Chu Wuji was also confused, but he immediately urged the horse to speed up.

When you encounter an unknown situation on the road in the wild, you must never stop. It is right to run first and observe the situation while running.

But the speed of a horse's legs cannot match the speed of magic.

A green light flashed by at such a fast speed that its trajectory was difficult to confirm. Ning Xianzhi reacted immediately, but the landing point she captured was wrong.

The breath she tracked was on the right, but the green light finally fell on the left and hit Ning Xianzhi's shoulder.

The voice of a strange woman sounded in Ning Xianzhi's ears:

"Ghost girl, that's not how you use your snake senses!"
