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

The beautiful woman forgot to breathe for a moment. There was such a strange and beautiful mythical beast?

Chu Wuji said, "Don't panic. She is the owner of this place. Madam Jiang can call her 'Tushan Fairy'. I have already greeted her just now."

"Okay, okay..."

Mrs. Jiang didn't know how to respond, so she just bowed to the big fox senior, while Tushan Yourong nodded slightly.

Chu Wuzhi brought Mrs. Jiang to the waterfall cave and made a simple bed for her using the purchased supplies and the hair that the little foxes had rubbed off.

"Madam Jiang, please rest here. I'll be busy walking around nearby."

"Okay." Mrs. Jiang was still a little dazed and just lay down.

I saw a big white snake just last month, and now I’ve seen a big fox with many tails. I’ve really seen the world!

Chu Wuji came to Tushan Yourong and was a little surprised.

I have never seen her true identity before, but now that there are outsiders visiting, she shows her true identity.

Tushan Yourong lay quietly, with her two beautiful and slender front paws resting under her head. She opened one of her fox eyes, as if seeing through Chu Wuji's thoughts, and teased:

"What if the young master brings back a young lady? After seeing my human form, she mistakenly thinks that the young master has a mistress hidden in his house? I will have to help explain it to you. It's so annoying~"

This big fox fairy can really afford such a joke.

But she was the only one who could joke like this, Chu Wuji didn't dare to take the initiative to tease her.

"That's my adopted sister's mother. She'll stay here for about three days, and then I'll send her away. She won't stay long!"

After Chu Wuji finished giving the instructions, he went back to work, unloading supplies and setting up a stove for cooking.

Of course, the most important thing is to build a fox den for the little ones.

It is called a nest, but in fact it is just a sleeping mat. It is made of thatch as the base and wrapped with cloth. It can barely serve as a sleeping mat. It is a little more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.

After this task was completed, more than twenty little foxes slept neatly in a square formation on the open space next to the pond, with each little white ball occupying a sleeping mat.

Chu Wuji looked over from the top of the waterfall and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

The big fox fairy was also looking at the little ones and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, recognizing Chu Wuzhi as the poop scooper.

She asked, "What if it rains?"

"Then the little foxes will have no choice but to sleep in their caves. When the weather clears up and the mats dry, they can come out to sleep again."

Chu Wuji couldn't make a waterproof sleeping pad.

The most important thing on this trip is to heal their teeth. After a few days when the new teeth grow out, they will regain their ability to hunt independently.

If you feel lazy and don't want to hunt one day, the fruit trees that harvest twice a season can also meet your food needs.

In addition, with the help of a few smart little foxes as "team leaders", they can live and reproduce here very well.

Chu Wuzhi completed his task as a poop scooper ahead of schedule.

"By the way, Fairy Tushan, please don't leave early just because they have recovered. I still have many questions to ask you."

I have made a quick start in eye training, but I am still confused in other areas.

The big fox fairy nodded gently:

"Okay, but you have to use that stove to get me some food. The little foxes have been clamoring all day about what delicious food they had in the human settlement."

Chu Wuji certainly had no objection. Since he had already done it, how could Tushan Yourong be missing?

"I'll use the stove to cook tomorrow!"

He sat down cross-legged, with a serious attitude as if preparing for class. He was about to ask for advice on further cultivation when a thought suddenly struck him. He asked:

"Fairy Tushan, now that you don't have to look after the little foxes, and you promised to guide me for a while, can you guide me by traveling with me?

While I was searching for the Scorpion Spirit, I was also giving him some pointers on the details of my physical training."

Tushan Yourong was no little girl, she saw through his idea at a glance and said unhappily:

"Such a cunning young man, you want me to be your bodyguard, right?"

"Haha..." Chu Wuji laughed awkwardly.

"Of course, you can, but the six-month instruction period will have to be shortened a bit~"

"Reduced to half a year?" Chu Wuji felt a little sad.

"A month and a half."

"..."

You call this reducing it a little bit?

Fairy Tushan, when you are shopping and the merchant says he can give you a discount, will you just beat the merchant up and break his bones?

Chapter 76: Ox-Head and Horse-Faced

Chu Wuzhi was just complaining in his heart and didn't actually say it out loud.

He himself was anxious to find the Scorpion Demon and retrieve his mother's body, so wouldn't Fairy Tushan also want to go back and avenge the White Fox Clan?

A few of these little white foxes are not in very good physical condition. Their flesh is obviously thin, but their fur is not thinner. It has layers of wrinkles like a pug's face.

These were obviously hunters from Jieshi City. In order to make the fur they harvested bigger, they force-fed some of the white foxes they were looking for, fattening their skin and fur so much that they couldn't lose weight.

Fairy Tushan was able to control her obsession and talk and laugh with him until now. This was due to her strength and strong state of mind during her lifetime, and she would not be easily led into action by obsession.

"Okay then, a month and a half is a month and a half... By the way, when does it start counting? It can't be the first day we met, right?"

The big fox fairy looked at him with a smile in her beautiful eyes. This expression of smiling without saying anything really made Chu Wuji unable to calm down.

Fortunately, when Chu Wuji was about to argue and point out that this was an unfair deal, Tushan Yourong said:

"Then it will naturally be the day you plan to leave. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Wuji was afraid that if he didn't emphasize it enough, Tushan Yourong would run away after a while.

He stopped chatting with the big fox and took the time to look at the moon.

The moon did not change, but Chu Wuji's mood tonight was not very good, like drizzle falling on a pond, causing ripples on the water.

He said to himself in his heart:

"As the spirit of an ancestor, he was summoned by a sacrifice for revenge. Due to a minor incident, the target of his vengeance is unclear, and it is suspected that the target has shifted to the Lord of Jieshi City."

"But neither the little white foxes nor Fairy Tushan have ever met the Lord of Jieshi City."

"If I go there before Fairy Tushan meets the Lord of Jieshi City and kill him, will she be able to continue to exist?"

Chu Wuji had such thoughts, but he also suspected that he was meddling in other people's affairs.

After feeling moved by himself, he ran over to snatch someone else's enemy. Would Fairy Tushan really be happy?

However, since the Lord of Jieshi City could summon a subordinate like Rat Taoist, his city defenses must be very powerful. Whether Chu Wuji can kill him is also a big question.

"call--"

After thinking about random things for a long time, Chu Wuji was unable to get into the state of mind and tried to close his eyes and breathe out.

There is the moon in the sky in front of me. I close my eyes and my vision disappears into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw the beautiful fox face of Tushan Fairy, with a pointed face, charming eyes, and a captivating beauty. She was so beautiful that even people in fear would stop and look at her for a few more seconds.

"Fairy Tushan?"

"Your mind is not at peace, and you have missed the time of Taiyin. Go down and sleep with the little fox."

"......Um."

Chu Wuji left the waterfall and walked to the little fox's camp. He put the sleeping mats together, then lay down on them, hugging the little fox as a heating blanket, feeling very happy.

He remembered something, took off the jade pendant from his waist, held it in his palm, made a hugging gesture with his arms, and then placed the two little foxes in his arms. Finally, he felt a bit like he was sleeping before!

*

Mrs. Jiang was lying on the fox fur bed in the waterfall cave, unable to sleep, perhaps because she had slept too long during the day.

At that moment, the beautiful woman's thoughts calmed down. Recalling what happened by the stream, she couldn't help but cover her face and reflect on herself. Just thinking about it in her mind made her wish she could crawl into the ground.

She listened to the melodious "splashing" sound of the waterfall, her sleepiness lingering between half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and before she knew it, dawn had arrived.

"Mrs. Jiang, are you awake?"

Chu Wuzhi's voice came from the cave entrance. Mrs. Jiang sat up hurriedly, patted her cheeks to wake herself up, and then responded with a "wake up".

Chu Wuji walked in carrying a roasted sweet potato, which he bought from Sanquan Market. It was not easy to buy things there because the shop owners didn't even know what they had to sell, making Chu Wuji's shopping feel like he was plundering other people's surplus food.

He placed the sweet potato next to the beautiful woman and said:

"This is breakfast for Madam Jiang. It's quite cold in the mountains, so you can warm your hands with it before eating."

Chu Wuji then told her about today's arrangements and when to send her back, so that Mrs. Jiang wouldn't be at a loss when staying here, and wouldn't be afraid of being watched by the big fox fairy if she walked out of the cave.

Madam Jiang expressed her gratitude to Chu Wuji for his meticulousness. She hesitated for a while, holding the sweet potato to warm her hands, and said:

"Wuji, I was too abrupt yesterday. Did I scare you?"

"A little bit. Mostly because of that water monkey at the beginning, it made Madam Jiang anxious and confused. She was so anxious that she naturally acted disorderly."

Chu Wuji's "blunt" and calm response made Mrs. Jiang feel inexplicably at ease, as if she understood the benefits of his temperament.

Madam Jiang looked up at the dark cave wall, as if looking at the past years, as if she had found someone to talk to. She took the opportunity to talk about many things she had thought about last night, and said with emotion:

"It's not necessarily the ghosts in the mountains that scare me, but the things that have been pent up in my heart for many years..."

"During the years I've spent accompanying my daughter in the Yun family, Qingying has persevered in her cultivation, gritting her teeth to protect me from the cold stares and criticisms of the clan elders. As a mother, I've seen it all, but I couldn't truly share any of Qingying's burdens. This is a guilt I've always felt."

The high expectations of the family and the responsibility of the patriarch to supervise are all understandable. However, when a group of playful people and those who take advantage of their seniority in the family use this kind of righteous responsibility to condemn the younger generation, it always feels a bit wrong.

The elders, who had accomplished nothing in their youth, found a reasonable excuse to explain their incompetence:

Qingying's talent was earned through the good deeds of her ancestors, and was earned by me, who spent half my life hiding my true talents and doing nothing. If she doesn't work hard, how can she be worthy of the family's efforts?!

The jealous woman in the clan who was blamed for her child's poor talent found an excuse from Madam Jiang:

"Are you still pampering Qingying? Your daughter has sucked away all the good fortune of this generation of Yun family children. My two children are now ugly and have mediocre talents, and I've even been scolded by my husband!"

Everyone can find excuses for their failures and unhappiness from these mother and daughter.

Even criticizing Yun Qingying for being lazy and blaming Mrs. Jiang for spoiling her daughter became an act of moral justice that showed "far-sightedness" and "being prepared for danger in times of peace."

Clan families attach particular importance to virtue.

Yun Qingying and Madam Jiang, inexplicably, became the opposite of virtue, and lived under this invisible pressure for years...

"As a mother, I know that Qingying was able to endure that kind of agonizing training because she wanted to protect me, but I also want to protect my daughter and do something for Qingying..."

"From the time I left the Yun family to the time I began cultivating in the immortal family, I've always felt like I was the one being taken care of by Qingying. I'm the mother who brought my daughter into this world to suffer..."

When Chu Wuzhi heard this, and thought about his previous interactions with the mother and daughter, he understood a lot of the situation.

Wanting to do something for her daughter gradually became Mrs. Jiang's wish and guilt over the years.

But this wish is destined to be difficult to achieve.

After leaving the Yun family and living in the Shenxiao Sect, there will be less and less ways for Mrs. Jiang to help Yun Qingying.

So, when Mrs. Jiang suddenly discovered that her daughter seemed to have made a good friend, and this friend reminded her of her daughter's brother who died young, she tried desperately to bring her daughter closer to this friend.

This is also considered as doing something for my daughter, finding a brother who can take care of Yun Qingying.

Years of stress and guilt, coupled with the fright from the water monkey, led Mrs. Jiang to make the abrupt "fruit feeding" move yesterday.

Chu Wuji saw Madam Jiang stop talking, and he said slowly:

"Mrs. Jiang, I've never been anyone else's elder, only my mother's son, so I can only share my thoughts from a younger generation's perspective."

"Hmm..." The beautiful woman looked at him seriously.

"Qingying is so sensible. What she wants most is Madam Jiang's company, a relaxing chat, or even a silent hug!"

Chu Wuji's gaze inadvertently moved to the sarcophagus, and he recalled many carefree times, with a smile on his lips:

"My mother has always been very open with me. She doesn't have any strict expectations of me. In front of her, I can relax, be lazy and act like a spoiled child. I can talk about anything that's on my mind. I don't need to guess her mood, expression, or subtext. I can get along with her easily without thinking."

"..."

Mrs. Jiang seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to wait for Chu Wuji's subsequent words.
