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

Chu Wuji thought about it carefully and felt that he had no way to refute it. The description was accurate. After shaking his head and smiling, he relaxed a little and boldly gave the woman a bath. After his concerns faded, he began to ask some stupid questions:

"Goddess Sky Fox, shouldn't you be a spirit now? Why are you still bleeding and oozing water like a normal body?"

This question sounded like the sweet talk between a man and a woman, or like the vulgar gossip of a scoundrel teasing a decent woman.

But when Chu Wuji asked, Tushan Yourong knew that the child was simply genuinely curious.

She explained unhappily:

"That depends on who it is. When the soul reaches a certain level of strength, even the flesh of an ordinary cultivator cannot be as solid as the soul. The fox clan is even more adept at cultivating the soul... But no matter what, having a flesh body is still better."

The most direct reason is that the physical body can carry merit and fortune, but Tushan Yourong’s current condition cannot do so. He cannot take it away even if he wants to, so he can only help him erase it forcibly.

Chu Wuji listened with an inexplicable feeling. He felt that there were indeed many doors and windows in this field, and it seemed that he could never finish talking about them. He said admiringly:

"That's amazing! After daybreak, I plan to go to Prince Jing'an's Mansion. Does the Sky Fox Queen want to come with me to visit the little fox?"

It would be fine to go ahead. At most, I would have to hide myself so that I wouldn't have to introduce myself to everyone I met. I might even have to go through the trouble of making up an identity... Tushan Yourong thought about this and felt it was too troublesome.

"No, I'll stay here and let the little foxes come and play on their own. I find the formal atmosphere in those noble mansions boring. It's better for me to stay here in peace and quiet."

Chu Wu Ji understood the fox girl's temperament. He hugged the woman's graceful waist from behind. It seemed so slender that he couldn't hold it in his arms. He even groped around a bit and almost thought he had missed it.

"Isn't that Fox Lady going to leave without saying anything that day? I don't want you to be gone when I come back from a short trip!"

He was really frightened by his mother and mysterious aunt.

"I don't have the nerve to do this. Or, before you go out, tell me what delicious food you'll cook today. Even if I want to leave, I'll have to wait for you to come back and cook the food, and then I can leave after we eat."

"That's good."

Chu Wuji had been a savage in the mountains for a while, and had long wanted to do something to reward his stomach.

He immediately listed a few dishes, observed Tushan Yourong's reaction, and paid attention to which dish she was interested in. As a result, the Fox Goddess pondered for a long time and was very curious.

Because when the name of the dish came out, she had never seen or heard of it before, and there were no chefs in the fox clan.

As they were chatting, a ball of white foam suddenly floated up on the water surface. It was in a floc-like shape and did not seem like something that could be brewed from medicinal herbs.

"What is this? Are there impurities in the medicinal herbs?"

Chu Wuji was puzzled and nervous. It would be unacceptable to use inferior medicinal materials to entertain Tushan Yourong!

Tushan Yourong recognized it at a glance. She reached behind her and grasped someone's pestle, saying softly,

"Remember what I mentioned earlier? My dear, you and my aunt were messing around in the hot springs, and the cooked yang turbidity was floating everywhere, and the little foxes almost ate it like fish roe!"

"..."

Chu Wuji was speechless and immediately understood what it was. It turned out that it came from the Sky Fox Goddess.

*

It's dawn,

Chu Wuji dug out the cotton bedding stored in the cupboard, spread it on the bed, and then personally carried the Fox Queen into the bed like a beautiful mistress in a golden house, allowing her to laze in greater comfort.

After a satisfying time, Tushan Yourong took another bath in the stewed medicinal soup. Her delicate body felt soft and she just wanted to lie down comfortably. She didn't want to move for the time being. She was too tired to even walk around while riding on Chu Wuzhi's shoulders.

Before Chu Wuji was about to leave, he was really worried and said repeatedly:

"After I visit Prince Jing'an's Mansion, I'll immediately go to the market to prepare ingredients and sauces. After a whole afternoon of careful preparation, I think Queen Sky Fox will have a hearty dinner!"

Tushan Yourong hid a smile in her heart. She really admired the snake sisters. She felt that such a smart child could be traumatized by them. Now she was afraid that she would disappear if she went out for a while.

I hadn't even left the bedroom when I turned back for the third time to confirm her presence.

The fox girl lay on her side in the bed, with her snow-white shoulders exposed outside the quilt. She raised her pink arm and yawned lazily, and then her expression became serious and solemn, showing the rare maturity and composure of an elder, so as to give the child more peace of mind.

The Fox Goddess dignifiedly ordered:

"Wu Ji, remember to bring me a good comb when you come back. I want to comb my tail."

Asking him to bring something back means that I will not leave and will wait patiently in the house, which is a disguised way to reassure him.

Chu Wuji was a little unaccustomed to the big fox's attitude. He twitched his lips with a strange expression, but he was also grateful for the other party's sympathy and tolerance. He nodded and said:

"I'll remember that."

*

Chu Wuji left home and planned to buy a comb first, but suddenly remembered something.

On the eve of his departure from the capital, he went to the market and looked like he would never come back. He received a lot of gifts, which made his acquaintances sigh and lament.

It has only been such a short while and Chu Wuzhi has reappeared, which seems to have made everyone's expressions in vain.

Then they would ask, "Wu Ji, how is your cultivation progressing?" "Which immortal sect have you joined?" "Why are your hair turning white before you even cultivate?"...

It’s scary just thinking about it!

Chu Wuji swallowed his saliva, his expression solemn:

"It's better to go directly to the Jing'an Palace and ask the servants there to help with the shopping. I can't show up at the market because it's full of acquaintances!"

Chapter 93 Yaoer: Aunt Bai is dead?!

In Prince Jing'an's Palace,

According to the frequency of going to the palace to accompany the Queen Aunt every one or two days, Princess Yaoer should enter the palace today.

The female guard Si Que had been waiting in the yard for a long time. With the help of her mother, Wen Yaoer combed her hair and tidied her appearance, and then prepared to pick a small pet from the yard to take to the palace to play together.

The girl came to the yard where the small animals often played, pinched her fingers and recalled, muttering:

"We've taken all the cats in for a round, now it's time to take the little fox. Once both the mother fox and the little fox have entered the palace, the round will be over."

Yao'er couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she said this. She had many cats in her house, and normally they were rotated every twenty days or so. Since Chu Wuzhi left, the third round was about to end in the blink of an eye.

There is no news or letters.

It was rare for her to have a brother who could play with her, but the time they spent together was so short, like a hasty dream.

Si Que stood aside and saw the little princess's depressed mood. She thought of Queen Wen in the palace and would occasionally sigh with melancholy.

"Princess Yao'er, if the Queen sees your depressed mood, she will be distressed. Don't you want to go into the palace to play today?"

Wen Yaoer shook her head. She took out some dried meat to attract the little fox's attention and said:

"It's not that I don't want to go to the palace to accompany my aunt, but it suddenly occurred to me that Brother Chu has been away for a long time. Hasn't he reached Aunt Bai's immortal friend yet? There's no news..."

Si Que was well-informed about the news. She knew that the girl from the Yun family also went to the immortal sect, and they set off on the same journey.

We can judge Chu Wuji and Madam Bai by the reaction of the Yun family.

"I recently heard that the Yun family was celebrating, holding a banquet to congratulate their daughter on her successful ascension to the immortal family... but they didn't mention her current situation. She might have just arrived not long ago. Even if they wrote a letter immediately, it's probably still on the way."

Wen Yaoer thought it made sense, and she asked again:

"The girl from the Yun family is the one who challenged my brother in martial arts, right? How is she now? Has she successfully cultivated to become an immortal?"

"It's really hard to find out about the situation of the immortals on the mountain."

Si Que smiled bitterly and shook her head. She had recently investigated this unknown daughter of the Yun family. It was said that she was trained as a seedling of immortals when she was very young. The head of the Yun family was determined to establish a relationship between the family and the immortal sect.

However, from what we know, Yun Qingying is not very close to her family, and it is a question whether she is willing to come back to visit in the future. At best, she can bring back some immortal health-preserving elixirs.

Especially the girl's mother, Mrs. Jiang, who also went up the mountain with them. She was probably too lazy to tell her family about Yun Qingying's future cultivation.

The Yun family themselves don’t know, so outsiders have no way of finding out from the side.

"Okay, then let's go to the palace... Little fox, what's wrong with you? Why do you always want to run away today? We are going out now~"

Wen Yaoer was puzzled. She saw the little fox jumping back and forth, as if it wanted to go towards the gate.

She took out the folded talisman from her small purse, intending to listen to what it meant. At this time, the mother fox also came over. She put one paw on the girl's arm and waved it towards the door.

Si Que knew the intelligence of these snow foxes and guessed:

"Do you want to go catch rats at the drugstore? Are there a lot of rats there lately?"

Wen Yaoer used the "Listening to Beasts Technique" to listen to the little guy's words and became even more puzzled:

"Let me open the door, but the other party won't let me tell you who I am?"

She picked up the little fox, walked towards the gate and told the servant to open it.

Walking out of the palace gate, the girl looked around, curious about what was outside the door that caused the little fox to react so strangely.

She glanced around briefly and suddenly felt dazzled. On the opposite street, she saw a guy who looked very similar to Chu Wuji!

Because when Wen Yaoer saw the white hair at first glance, she subconsciously jumped away, thinking it was an old man. It is rare to see a young man with white hair in the secular world. However, the black robe of the warrior drew her attention back and she reconfirmed the man's appearance.

He actually looks so much like Brother Chu?

Their eyes met, and the little princess blinked, a little bit unable to believe it.

Instead, the little fox in her arms flapped its four short legs, trying to go to its benefactor.

Chu Wuji felt a little embarrassed. Being stared at by this girl in such a daze, he was the first to greet her:

"Yao'er, why do you look so dazed? Did you just wake up?"

The fox mother and another little fox in the mansion had already run out and were sticking to Chu Wuzhi's feet. Chu Wuzhi picked up the fox mother and daughter and held them in his arms with one hand.

The little fox in Princess Yao'er's arms was about to break. It was obviously it that did it first, whether it was when it first discovered that the benefactor had returned while catching mice in the pharmacy, or when it just walked out of the palace, it was it that did it first!

Wen Yaoer finally came back to her senses at this moment. Although she felt like she was dreaming and it was not real, could the little fox recognize the wrong person?

She put down the little fox in her arms, trotted over with excitement, and threw herself into Chu Wuzhi's arms.

“…” The little fox that fell to the ground was dumbfounded.

Chu Wuji knew the rules of these wealthy families. Although the status of Prince Jing'an's Mansion did not mean it was afraid of rumors, he still had to be careful. He lightly hooked his toes, kicked the other little fox into his arms, and quickly returned to Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

Si Que looked surprised. It was normal to have some changes after being apart for a while, but wasn't Chu Wuji's change too big?

"Brother Chu, what are you doing..."

Chu Wuji didn't know how to explain it, so he could only come up with a perfunctory answer:

"It's a long story, we'll talk later."

Yao'er held Chu Wuzhi's neck tightly with her arms, refusing to let go. Even though Chu Wuzhi had squatted down and was ready to put her and the little foxes down, the girl was still hanging on him.

"Si Que, please tell Aunt Queen that Brother Chu is back. I won't be going to the palace to play today. I'll go in a few days!"

Si Que bowed and said, "Okay, I'll go back and convey Princess Yao'er's intention to the Empress."

It is not a job assignment for the little princess to go to the palace to play, so the queen will not force it. She just needs to convey the little princess's reasons to the queen.

Si Que left quickly to report.

Princess Jing'an had not yet gotten up, so it was inconvenient for Chu Wuji to go and ask her how she was. Although he really wanted to get down to business first, he still had to be patient and wait, so he decided to chat with the girl for a while.

"Yao'er, have you had breakfast?" Chu Wuji straightened a strand of her messy hair, which was thin and smooth, just like a child's.

"I've eaten two big meat-filled buns. I was just about to go to the palace. If you show up any later, you won't be able to see Yao'er!"

Chu Wuji thought she would say that she hadn't eaten yet, so that he could borrow the kitchen naturally, but it didn't matter!

If it can't be done naturally, then be justified.

"It's okay if you've already eaten. You can watch me eat later. I'm going to go mix the dough. Do you want to join me in the kitchen?"

Princess Yao'er couldn't figure it out, she felt something was wrong... They finally met again, shouldn't they be in tears and express their love for each other?

How come Brother Chu just came back and went straight to the kitchen without saying anything about his experience, as if he had not been away for long?

......It seemed like I hadn't been away for long, nearly two months. Usually, it takes about this amount of time for me to go on a long trip.

The girl didn't have time to doubt, her thoughts were forced to follow Chu Wuji, she echoed:

"I also want to go to the kitchen to help knead the dough. I can fill my stomach with another small bowl. When my mother wakes up, Brother Chu will give it to her~"

*

The kitchen in the palace is fully equipped with all the necessary ingredients and is spacious.

Although Chu Wuji was not used to the unfamiliar kitchen and could not find many seasonings, as long as he gave an order, the servants in the palace would immediately help him get them.

Kneading dough isn't a skill-based job; it relies on experience. The simple phrase "add the right amount of water to the right amount of flour" can stump many novices, leaving them with either a cement paste or just water.

Finally, under the guidance of "add water if there is too much flour, and add flour if there is too much water", a giant dough was made.
