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

This time it flew over again. The downside of going too fast was that before I could react and reached the Lihuojingcheng station, it had already flown out and I had no time to get off the bus.

Fortunately, there was still plenty of time. After some fine-tuning, I returned safely to the gate of the capital. Next to it, I could see the road leading to the Lihuo Mountains.

When Chu Wuji saw the mountain road, he felt a little emotional.

"I'm really back this time. I've only been away for a short time, but so many things have happened..."

Chapter 88: Change of Mood

Chu Wuji counted with his fingers and found it incredible.

Back when he was still at the waterfall pool, he only had enough time in the whole day to go out for shopping once, and it was a one-way trip, so it took two days including the round trip.

Now things are different. After coming out of the waterfall pool, I took a stroll in Yunze Township. I accidentally wasted time and ran too far. I rushed to Wenshui County in one breath and played for half a day. Finally, I returned to Lihuo Capital and stood at the foot of the Lihuo Mountains again.

It was as if I had gone through a lot of changes and finally arrived at the end. Looking back, I realized that it only took less than five days!

Is this the change brought about by the speed of travel?

Tushan Yourong didn't know what Chu Wuji was thinking. She just saw that he looked shocked and puzzled. He stayed where he was, sighing from time to time, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

She asked, "Is there something wrong near the city gate? Why are you just standing there like an idiot?"

Chu Wuji was not able to explain, so he pretended to be deep and said, "There are some things that Fairy Tushan will never feel in her lifetime, and it is difficult for her to understand..."

"for example?"

“Walk slowly and steadily, pay close attention to the scenery along the way, feel the slow change of day and night, and the helplessness of the brevity of time.”

The charming and beautiful Fox Fairy was stunned and almost intimidated by this boy, but the fox clan is very smart. She understood the meaning after a little thought and chuckled:

"Young Master, you're probably talking about the speed of travel. I've also had the experience of doubting my own slowness."

This answer was something Chu Wuji had never expected. He looked at the other person in surprise, and finally felt a sense of "sharing hardships" and said:

"It was when Fairy Tushan was young..."

"Young?" The fox girl interrupted him, giving him a chance to correct his mistakes.

"When your cultivation is still young?"

"No, it was when I was riding the young master a few days ago that I dozed off occasionally. When I woke up, I realized I had only walked a short distance. If I hadn't seen the young master's serious look on his face as he hurried on, I would have thought someone wanted me to ride him a little longer~!"

"..." Chu Wuji suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he was a little skeptical. "When Fairy Tushan first started practicing, she probably didn't travel that fast, right?"

"After the demon race awakens their spiritual intelligence, they are officially on the path of cultivation. Generally, they will only venture out after they have achieved a small level of success in their cultivation. At least that's the case with me. It took me five years to cultivate into a three-tailed fox. My speed is only faster than the 'Cloud Leaping Technique'."

What this means is that he has indeed not experienced the hardship of traveling, and can already fly when he leaves the customs.

This time, riding on Chu Wuzhi's neck, I made up for the regret of not having suffered such pain.

Chu Wuji felt that he could no longer discuss this kind of topic with his seniors who had achieved great accomplishments. The more he talked about it, the angrier he became, and he felt depressed and had no place to vent.

I really can’t chat with you!

"Alright, the city gates are about to close for curfew. Let's go into the city and then take Fairy Tushan to visit the nest of fox cubs."

Chu Wuji walked towards the city gate. Tushan Yourong, who had just said so many dirty words, now sat back on Chu Wuji, pinching his face from time to time and forcing a stiff smile.

The city gate on this side is also called the Black Crane Gate. Soldiers are urging the people to speed up:

"Hurry up! If you dawdle any longer, you'll have to queue at another gate to enter the city!"

The flow of people at each city gate is different, and the closing time is also different. The city gates near busy economic and trade areas have uninterrupted flow of people, so they really need to be taken care of and the closing time must be delayed.

Chu Wuzhi walked into the city gate, strolled along the familiar streets, and soon returned to the yard of his own pharmacy.

Although no one had lived there for a while, the interior was well maintained. The door had been freshly painted, and the water tank in the back kitchen was free of dust, indicating that someone came to take care of it regularly.

Even the medicinal herbs in the medicine cabinet were replenished.

It seems that the Jing'an Palace did not neglect any of its duties. Even though they did not know when Chu Wuji would "succeed in his practice and return from the mountain", they did not neglect the things they had promised.

Chu Wuzhi found a few more iron bowls in the corner of the yard, with some meat and rice left in them. They were not rotten, as they had just been left there for the past two days.

"Is this the cat food bowl? The little princess probably comes here often to walk the cat."

The big fox fairy jumped down before entering the door, otherwise she would have hit her head on the door frame.

She looked around curiously and looked at the talismans pasted on the courtyard wall.

"Is this where you grew up, young man? I didn't expect it to be so plain. How did you grow up to be so strong?"

When it comes to growing up, there is no such thing as gaining weight by just drinking water. Food is indispensable. Chu Wuji's physique is enough to eat up the granary in an ordinary family.

Tushan Yourong knew that Chu Wuji's godmother was a white snake demon, and she thought that the white snake demon would arrange a comfortable mansion for Chu Wuji to live in so that he would not have to worry about food and clothing.

It’s impossible that Bai Sujin would go out and get some wild beasts for Chu Wuji to eat every time he was hungry.

Chu Wuji said, "Earlier, we were still homeless. This place is great. Besides, when we want to eat, we can just go fishing. We can get different kinds of meat every time."

As we were chatting, a petite white figure came out of the house. It was timid and afraid of strangers, so it hurriedly hid in the kitchen with a little mouse in its mouth.

Tushan Yourong lightly grabbed the little creature from the air by the scruff of the neck. It was a little fox.

Chu Wuji felt that the little fellow looked familiar, and then thought of those cat bowls, and said in surprise:

"Could it be those little foxes from Prince Jing'an's mansion? Are they here to help me watch the house and catch mice?"

When foxes are young, their appearance changes very quickly.

I have seen a few cubs of the mother fox before. Their faces were like the tip of a pencil, a cute little triangle. If you rarely come into contact with foxes, it would be difficult to recognize what kind of animal they were.

After not seeing him for a month or two, the little guy basically looked like a fox. He was held in the air, his four short legs flapping, and his big tail, which had not yet grown fur, was shaking.

"Little guy, you don't even recognize your own ancestors?" Tushan Yourong said, putting it down.

The little fox blinked, bit the mouse in its mouth to death, and put it in the cat's bowl as a snack for the cat. Then it returned to Tushan Yourong's feet, put its two little paws in a bowing position, and paid homage to the ancestor, looking cute and well-behaved.

It is well-behaved, but it is still in a state of ignorance. Tushan Yourong said:

"Go and have fun by yourself. Don't tell your elders about our return yet."

If the palace knew that Chu Wuzhi had returned, they would definitely come to visit immediately, making it difficult for me to have a moment of peace and quiet.

The little fox understood and ran all the way back to Prince Jing'an's Mansion from the eaves. It only came here occasionally to help its benefactor watch over the house and catch mice.

Chu Wuzhi walked around the house alone, as if reminiscing about something, without saying a word. He stopped in a room, stayed there silently for a while, and then moved to another place to continue staying.

With this attitude, it is very appropriate to complain, "Are you looking for scattered spiritual energy in your own home?"

The big fox fairy also moved with him. There was no idle chat to break the peace. She watched Chu Wuzhi as he walked around the room.

Afraid that Chu Wuji couldn't see clearly in the dim room, the Fox Fairy Queen snapped her fingers lightly, and the fox fire illuminated the room.

As Chu Wuzhi walked, the soles of his shoes, which had been through many battles, finally couldn't hold up and fell off behind him.

Tushan Yourong, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but smile. This smile was also charming and seductive, and the two "Yourong" in front of her trembled.

"I've been waiting for the soles of my shoes to fall off all the way here. Now they finally have their day, but it's a pity they're inside the house~"

Chu Wuji thought to himself that it was no wonder. He had just been wondering how the big fox fairy, who could not stand boredom the most, could have the leisure time to wander around with him.

It turns out that I was waiting for him to drop equipment!

However, Tushan Naida was telling the truth. It would be scary to think about if the sole of the shoe fell off in public on the street. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you would be too embarrassed to pick it up.

*

into the night,

Chu Wuji was lying on the bed in a daze. He planned to go to Prince Jing'an's Mansion during the day tomorrow so as not to disturb her at night, otherwise Princess Jing'an might make a big fuss with a welcoming ceremony, a late-night banquet, and so on.

He felt his mood change slightly.

Before, all he was concerned about were basically things related to his mother Bai Sujin, from curing illnesses to retrieving the body. He would not consider other things and would not contact other people, for fear of being too deeply involved.

The one and a half months won from the giant fox fairy was equivalent to "one and a half months of escort by a strong man" in his eyes.

However, he didn't know when it started, but he started thinking about Tushan Yourong.

After a month and a half, it gradually began to feel like a "countdown to separation."

Time is indeed a wonderful thing. It is so fast that in the blink of an eye, the little fox has grown up a lot. It is also so slow that after experiencing many things, less than five days have passed.

Chu Wuji suddenly felt a little worried. If he said casually, "Unknowingly, a month and a half has passed," then this big fox fairy he met by chance would really become a passerby.

It was like going back to the time when I was with my godmother, and many separations happened unexpectedly.

"But what can I do..."

"Hmm~ What do you want to do, young master?"

Tushan Yourong, with her flowing snow-white hair and graceful figure, was also lying on the bed. She held her cheek with one hand and played with her tail with the other. Occasionally, she reached out to sweep across Chu Wuji's face to tickle him.

Calmness and solemnity are the growth given by time, while the freedom to play in the world is the nature of the fox clan.

If you didn't know how powerful she was, it would be hard to imagine that she was a powerful half-step celestial fox.

Chu Wuji sat up, a little nervously, and smiled unnaturally, and asked:

"I want to do something presumptuous and impolite."

"Hmm, young master, do you have such courage?" Tushan Yourong's foxy charm flashed across her face as she looked at him in surprise, and an unexpected playful smile appeared on her red lips.

"I'd like to ask about Fairy Tushan's experiences, because after all this time together, I still know nothing about you, and I'm very curious about your past."

Tushan Yourong looked disappointed and annoyed, and scolded with a smile:

"Young Master, your words sound so formal and official. Did you learn these sentences from official documents?"

Chapter 89: Being Controlled by the Bad Fox

Tushan Yourong thought that he would hesitate for a long time and make some unreasonable demands.

She didn't expect it to be just this kind of thing, but she could understand it. She had noticed this before, and Chu Wuji would intentionally or unintentionally maintain a distance in their relationship.

When getting along with someone, if the other party is in trouble, he is most likely willing to help, and he will do his best to help, never perfunctorily, but it is very difficult for the other party to get closer to him.

Tushan Yourong was wondering how this kid developed such a personality.

However, Chu Wuji actually took the initiative to ask about her affairs now, which means that he must have made a decision.

Tushan Yourong was very interested in Chu Wuji's inner thoughts just now!

She put aside her joking tone and sat up straight, looking like she was having a serious conversation, lest the boy take her jokes seriously and take half a step forward before retracting it.

"It's not impossible for me to talk about the past. It's not a secret anyway. The life experience of the evil spirit has long become the dust of the past, but..."

Chu Wuji looked at the embarrassment on the fox girl's face and suspected that she was just saying "the past is like smoke" but was actually very concerned in her heart. He said:

"But if you really don't want to recall it, you don't have to say it. I won't force Fairy Tushan."

Tushan Yourong thought to himself, "That was a close call!"

What did I just say? In certain situations, if you joke with this kid, he will take it seriously. Chu Wuzhi's expression is rather indifferent, making it difficult to judge what he is thinking.

I was so cautious that I almost let him say "I won't force you" and then backed off. Fortunately, he was not joking.

The snow-haired fox girl moved closer to Chu Wuzhi, and her fluffy and soft tail quietly wrapped around him, invisibly shrinking the space between them.

"But, I also want to hear what's on your mind, young master. Although you talk a lot, they're all about your happy moments. You never mention your bitterness, annoyance, and confusion to anyone, and you keep them all to yourself!"

Chu Wuji didn't notice that he was surrounded. His attention was focused on his inner thoughts at the moment. He nodded and said:

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I'm going to say, and then you'll have to listen to Fairy Tushan, otherwise I'll be taking advantage of you."

"Then, young master, tell me, what were you thinking before you opened your mouth just now~?"

"Hmm..." Chu Wuji nodded solemnly.

Many people are ashamed to talk about their inner thoughts, fearing that their entanglements will be treated as a joke by others, and even more worried about being laughed at and said: How can such a trivial matter be treated so seriously?

But many seemingly simple things are difficult to understand for those involved. It is really like the saying "those involved are often the most confused".

Because the person involved is influenced by emotions and worries about gains and losses, and is even being dragged over by them!

For example, Yun Qingying, who always cares about "you win and I lose", is entangled in the fact that she feels that her victory is not perfect even though there is a clear gap in strength. This is because in the more than ten years when she grew up, her family only gave her the choice of "doing things perfectly".

For example, the aunt in the true form of the White Snake, the younger sister in the story she told, the younger sister didn’t care at all whether she had escalated the situation or made things troublesome. What she cared about was her elder sister, and whether she had hurt her elder sister unintentionally, so she didn’t dare to confirm the answer and didn’t dare to meet her elder sister.
