You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

Chapter 152 A Child Without a Home

In Moyun Cave——

The little vixen ran out happily, but was stunned when she heard the conversation between the man and the snake. She quickly grabbed her father's clothes to avoid their sight, and looked up and asked, "Daddy, who are they?"

"Girl, they are immortals from heaven."

"The immortal in the sky... Daddy is so powerful!"

"Hehehe..."

The Wansui Fox King chuckled, raised his hand to touch the little girl's hair, brought her out from behind him, and introduced her: "Immortal, this is my little girl, you can call her Jade-faced Fox."

The Jade-faced Fox shrank back and pinched the hem of her clothes. She looked at Qingxin, who was about the same height as her, and said timidly, "Sister Immortal... Sister, how are you?"

Qing Xin: "...you are well too."

Xia Zhiming: "I am also an immortal."

The Jade-faced Fox called out softly again, "Then... Immortal Brother is well too."

Xia Zhiming: "Qingxin, this child is even softer than you were when you were little."

Qingxin nodded: "Indeed."

Hearing their blunt comments, the Jade-faced Fox immediately lowered his head and remained silent. The Wansui Fox King sighed and said, "This is what I'm worried about. Alas..."

Xia Zhiming looked at the father and daughter in front of him, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Little fox, your father gave me a generous gift today and asked me to take you to heaven to find your master. Go pack your luggage quickly."

The Jade-faced Fox looked at his encouraging father, hunched his neck, and discussed with Xia Zhiming: "Brother Immortal, I...can I not leave?"

"It sounds nice to shout, but no!"

"?"

Jade-faced Fox immediately questioned what he said, then reacted and said anxiously, "But Daddy needs someone to accompany him, I don't want to leave."

"I didn't care at first, but now I see that you are gifted and have a good chance of becoming an immortal, so you have to leave today even if you don't want to."

The Jade-faced Fox puffed up his cheeks immediately, hid behind the Wansui Fox King, and poked his head out, saying, "Brother Immortal, you... you are so unreasonable."

Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue, looked at the Wansui Fox King and said with a smile: "Then I will take your child away. Do I need to give you a day?"

Upon hearing this, the Wansui Fox King was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "No need for that. Thank you for your kindness, Immortal. I am deeply grateful."

After saying that, the Fox King told the maid to pack up the luggage quickly, and did not give the child too many instructions afterwards. He looked like he was very satisfied with the arrangement.

However, in reality, Xia Zhiming's words were full of praise, and he didn't give the little fox a choice because he was afraid that the child would think too much. As a father, he naturally couldn't be nagging at this time, so as not to add worries to the child.

At this time, the little fox saw that things were irreversible, so he could only pitifully carry the bag brought by the maid and follow Qingxin and Xia Zhiming out of Moyun Cave.

After a brief farewell, at the urging of the Long Live Fox King, Qingxin rode on a cloud and flew into the sky with a fox and a snake.

The little fox lay on the cloud, looking at the Jilei Mountain that had completely disappeared from his sight. Suddenly, he asked softly, "Sister Qingxin, will I... never see Daddy again?"

Qingxin tilted her head: "Why do you think so, sister?"

"When I was little, I often heard people say: 'One day in heaven is one year on earth, but Daddy is already very old.'"

"..."

Qingxin suddenly fell silent. As for the white snake who liked to act coquettishly, she usually just had to spoil her in every way. She had no experience with a child like the little fox, so she could only blink at Xia Zhiming and ask for help.

Xia Zhiming understood, leaned over and smiled, "There are ten thousand ways to solve this problem. It depends on which one you like."

The little fox was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xia Zhiming expectantly.

"The Queen Mother's peaches, the Zhenyuan Immortal's ginseng fruit, the Taishang Laojun's soul-resurrection pills, the Changsheng Emperor's longevity peaches..."

At this point, Xia Zhiming wagged his tail and said, "There are too many. I won't mention them one by one. Anyway, you should cultivate well in heaven. It's not your turn to worry about it."

The Jade-faced Fox nodded blankly, and after thinking for a moment, he timidly asked, "Speaking of which, what is your name, Immortal Brother..."

"Call me Xia Zhiming, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, don't you know? I can chat and laugh with him, isn't that amazing?"

"But...Brother Zhiming, you are actually very powerful too."

"Hey, you have good taste, girl."

"Because those things you mentioned are all legendary treasures."

------------------

South Gate of Heaven——

Looking at the little fox that had revealed its true form in the magic mirror, the Heavenly King Zhangzhang couldn't help but tease Xia Zhiming, "Why did you bring a fox spirit up here?"

Xia Zhiming smiled and said, "What do you think of her?"

"As for fox spirits, most of them are cute. I've caught quite a few, but I've never seen one this lovely."

"This child is a friend's orphan. I'm going to bring him up here and ask if anyone would be willing to accept him as a disciple or a servant. Is the Heavenly King willing to accept him?"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King Zhangzhang was so panicked that he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, please go in quickly. I can't stand what people say."

After saying this, King Zhangzhang quickly ordered the heavenly soldiers to make way and pushed the group of people in.

Qingxin and Xia Zhiming didn't care either. Instead, the little fox simply lowered its head and followed the man and the snake without saying a word for a long time.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, are you shocked?"

The little fox nodded timidly when she heard this. Before she went to heaven, Xia Zhiming said that she was gifted, but she didn't expect that the first immortal she met was afraid of her like a tiger.

Seeing this, Qing Xin thought for a moment and then protected the little fox beside her. She said helplessly, "Zhi Ming, don't bully her."

After saying this, Qing Xin led the little fox towards Lihentian, and said softly, "Don't worry, sister. Zhiming and the others were just joking. The Heavenly King Zhangzhang is guarding the South Heaven Gate, so he doesn't have time to teach."

Xia Zhiming smiled and said, "That's true, but it's not very convenient for a girl to be with you. From now on, I will only take you to a highly respected immortal. If that doesn't work, I'll send you to find Yang Chan. I wonder if she would mind having another playmate."

The little fox heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked, "Who is Yang Chan?"

"The Jade Emperor's niece."

"Brother Zhiming is so awesome!"

"Why do you like to call me brother?"

Qing Xin tapped the white snake's head on his shoulder and said, "Zhi Ming, you were the one who said it nicely before."

Xia Zhiming spat out a snake letter: "Qingxin, do you think I need to explain something?"

"Let's go back first."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"Hmph~"

……

While playing, the group quickly crossed the thirty levels of heaven and arrived at the Heaven of Separation and Hate.

However, Qingxin was not in a hurry to go to the Tushita Palace. Instead, she brought the little fox to her Lingguan Mansion first.

After Qingxin and the little fox settled down in the guest room, he left the key to her and then gently reminded her, "The sun was setting when we went up to heaven. Sister, please rest for the night. If you need anything, just ask the maid. If not, come to find us next door. Don't keep anything in your heart."

The little fox looked at the room key in his hand, seemed to be relieved, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing this, Qingxin took Xia Zhiming out of the guest room and walked towards her own room.

On the road——

"Zhiming, do you think she would feel more at ease if she had her own little nest in heaven?"

"I didn't expect Qingxin that you are so caring."

"When I first went to Tushita Palace, I was just as scared as she was."

"Nonsense, you were sleeping soundly in my arms."

"Hmph~idiot!"

Chapter 153 Going around in circles

After settling the little fox, Qingxin naturally took Xia Zhiming back to the bedroom to rest for a day.

As for the punishment agreed upon before, Qingxin tried to transform into a little Qingxin and crawl into the bed, trying to leave Xia Zhiming alone in the empty room.

Although the idea was good, the result was that the white snake just entangled her in a different way. The girl struggled in vain and finally nothing happened.

The next morning——

When the man, the snake and the little fox came to the Tushita Palace, they saw Taishang Laojun sitting on a high platform, while Jinjiao and Yinjiao were standing in front of the Bagua stove, one fanning the stove and the other adding firewood, working hard to light the fire.

Seeing Qingxin coming over, Jinjiao's face lit up with joy. Just as he was about to call her over to help, he saw the little fox walk in timidly. He exclaimed in surprise: "This little sister is so pretty!"

When Yinjiao heard this, he looked around and asked, "Where? Where?"

Just after he finished shouting, Yinjiao also saw the little fox walking behind Qingxin and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a well-behaved sister!"

Xia Zhiming: "Happy~"

Qing Xin was helpless. She stretched out her hands to protect the blushing little fox behind her, and then she said, "Don't tease her."

After saying that, Qing Xin ignored the two boys who had forgotten their duties, and led the little fox to the alchemy platform, and bowed to the Taoist ancestor together.

Xia Zhiming was no exception. After bowing his head and bowing, he asked with his snake tongue sticking out: "Daozu, are you still short of people? I found a well-behaved one for you."

Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun immediately raised his eyebrows, pointed at the two boys who were staring blankly at him, and scolded with a smile: "You white snake, you know I can't capture you, but you insist on disturbing my peace. You deserve a beating!"

"Hey, I was just wondering if you have any recommendations."

"If you don't mind, Yuanshi or Lingbao Tianzun can take it."

"That won't work."

Xia Zhiming wagged his tail and explained to the puzzled little fox, "Both Heavenly Lords have five hundred boys. Your personality isn't suitable for going there."

When the little fox heard this, she nodded repeatedly. Although she knew the names of the Three Pure Ones, she knew nothing about these details. It was too scary to ask her to work with five hundred boys!

On the alchemy platform, Taishang Laojun heard this and raised his whisk, saying with a smile: "Chang Geng doesn't have any boys, why don't you send her there?"

Xia Zhiming said, "I've thought about Taibai Jinxing, but unfortunately, Jinxing is a bitterly cold place. I feel guilty about sending this girl there."

Taishang Laojun nodded, took out a pill from his sleeve and handed it to Qingxin. After the girl took it, he waved his hand and said, "This is the elixir of immortality. Take it. Don't bother me with this matter."

After saying this, Taishang Laojun turned his gaze and said to the two boys standing by the alchemy furnace with regretful expressions, "Why don't you light the fire?"

Upon hearing this, Jinjiao and Yinjiao turned to look at the unstable Bagua furnace, and were immediately startled and sweaty. They quickly got busy...

Seeing this, the two women and the snake naturally did not stay any longer. After bowing and saying goodbye, they left the Tushita Palace together and headed towards their next destination.

On the way, Qing Xin took the little fox's hand, placed the elixir of immortality in her palm, and said softly: "This is a gift from the Taoist master, don't refuse it."

When the little fox heard this, she was a little dazed and held the elixir of immortality tightly in her hand - the treasure that she and her father had dreamed of was so easy to obtain.

"Sister Qingxin, I will repay you."

“No need.”

The little fox shook his head repeatedly: "Yes."

Xia Zhiming said, "Even I can't figure out what she's missing. Don't dwell on it."

When the little fox heard this, he looked at the man and the snake in front of him, thought for a moment, lowered his head, and said no more.

Seeing her like this, Qingxin didn't plan to say anything more. He took the little fox and stood in front of the door of the Marriage Hall.

Outside the palace, a celestial soldier stopped the two and asked, "Which immortal family are you from? Please tell me your names so I can report them."

At this point, Xia Zhiming wasn't ready to slack off any longer. He pressed the girl's shoulder and transformed back into his immortal form with white hair and red eyes. He bowed and smiled, "I'm Xia Zhiming, the guardian spirit officer of Lihentian. I have something to ask you. Please inform Yue Lao."

Upon hearing this, the celestial soldier naturally returned to the main hall and found Yue Lao, who was writing the marriage plan. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, Xia Zhiming, the guardian spirit officer of Lihentian, wishes to see you."

When Yue Lao heard this, he was puzzled. He stopped writing and asked, "No one has visited my Marriage Palace for a long time. Did he say what he wanted?"

"Your Excellency, I have never said that."

"Forget it, go and invite him in."

"Yes!"

Let’s not talk about the Heavenly Soldiers leaving the palace and returning, and let’s talk about Xia Zhiming’s side——

Xia Zhiming looked at the little fox staring at him blankly and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, it seems like this is the first time you have seen me in human form."
