Chapter 17

Mingxue doesn't drink much, and it's even more unlikely that he would collect such high-quality liquor as "Monkey Burnt Wine." Therefore, these gourds of "Monkey Burnt Wine" could not have been brought to Fushan by him.

Moreover, the shape of these gourds is exactly the same as what Mingxue remembers. They were automatically offered by the group of large monkeys after he used the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox's charm ability.

Why did he take these bottles of Monkey Burnt Wine? Even Mingxue himself was puzzled. It seemed that at the time, a slight impulse led him to give this command to the group of large monkeys that he had controlled with his charm ability.

Indeed, something was strange. Could it be a side effect of transforming? Does the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox like to drink Monkey Burnt Wine? After thinking for a long time and finding no answer, Mingxue could only rub his head and hold the listless little fox in his arms as he walked out of his room.

Fushan naturally has a dining area. After resting in his room for half a day, Mingxue barely recovered the ability to move freely. However, the little fox in his arms was not so lucky. It remained listless, like an eggplant hit by frost, and even its cries were weak.

At a long row of dining tables, Huang Fei and his group of friends were feasting. The table was filled with all kinds of fish and meat, fully displaying the extravagance of nouveau riche.

"Hey, Casanova, carrying this little fox demon could bring trouble," Huang Fei kindly reminded him, seeing that Mingxue was still holding the little fox demon that might bring disaster.

The fox demon elders who protect the young fox demons are not to be trifled with. They are said to be at least a thousand-year-old white foxes, and the highest rank is even said to be a ten-thousand-year-old black fox. They are genuine great demons that can destroy several small mountains effortlessly.

After some previous incidents, the fox demon clan's protection of young foxes has reached a level of extreme caution. If a young fox demon gets into trouble while wandering outside, the fox demon elders, who love their young like their lives, would really go mad.

"I haven't encountered any fox demon elders. Maybe you saw wrong," Mingxue sat down at the table and began to slowly enjoy the immortal tea and pastries made from immortal herbs. He had no interest in food, and this light meal suited him well.

"Strange... Could I really have seen wrong?" Huang Fei, while gnawing on a large pig's trotter, looked at the lazy little fox in Mingxue's arms with a puzzled expression.

This is indeed a young fox demon from the fox demon clan. Such young fox demons, whose intelligence has not yet fully developed, can easily be mistaken for ordinary foxes and captured if they accidentally enter the human world.

After several bloody incidents in the past, the fox demon clan has been extremely strict in managing the young fox demons of the entire clan, making it almost impossible for a young fox demon to act alone.

Could it be... this is not a young fox demon... but... Huang Fei suddenly remembered a certain fox demon girl he saw at the port, and his whole body trembled. The pig's trotter in his hand fell to the ground, and his mouth, full of oil, couldn't close.

No way... this... Thinking of the possibility, Huang Fei couldn't help but look around, making Mingxue think there was something on his face.

"Cough... Casanova, ask you, did anything strange happen in your room last night?" Wiping the oil from his mouth, Huang Fei couldn't help but ask this question.

If his reasoning was correct, something must have happened last night.

"Last night... yes, something was indeed strange. That Qingqiu Jiuyue suddenly visited my room, and then suddenly left," Mingxue thought for a moment. The biggest mystery last night was this.

Perhaps, the strange dream he had later was also related to this, because the only Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox he knew was that fox demon girl named Qingqiu Jiuyue.

"Heh... I see... You must have had a tough night..." Huang Fei glanced at the listless little fox and then at the tired-looking Mingxue, already imagining what had happened last night.

"Yes, it was really tough," Mingxue rubbed his temples, completely unaware of Huang Fei's meaningful and strange smile.

The little fox, lying in Mingxue's arms, glared at the loose-talking Huang Fei and added him to her blacklist.

If she weren't so weak now, she would immediately use the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox's innate ability to teach this fat man a lesson.

Ouch, so sour, so painful, what on earth happened last night!

...

As the sun rose and set, the huge green Fushan, riding the wind and breaking the waves, moved straight toward the Eastern Sea, already thousands of miles away from Tiantai Mountain.

"We are the sea!" On the platform at the front of Fushan, Huang Fei shouted.

"We are the sea!" The graduates from Tiantai Mountain Immortal Academy also shouted, cheering for their leader.

"We are the sun!" Huang Fei was full of pride, his face flushed.

"We are the sun!" The graduates, whose spirits were lifted, followed, as if doing so would make them glow and heat up, becoming the sun that illuminates all things.

"Our goal is the starry sea!" Huang Fei stepped on the railing of the platform, just one step away from the sea, his spirit soaring, exuding a powerful aura.

"Our goal is the starry sea!" Huang Fei's followers roared, bringing the atmosphere of the oath-taking ceremony to its peak.

"Qinglong Academy, I'm coming!" Huang Fei raised his right hand, pointing to the front of Fushan, satisfied.

"Qinglong Academy, we're coming!" The graduates, who had come to join the fun, looked at the vast sea with burning eyes, as if they could already see the ancient academy that had been passed down for thousands of years, the legend of the four seas.

"Shut up, you idiots, don't make a fuss on my Fushan." The owner of Fushan, the little princess of the fox demon clan, the future greatest Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox (self-proclaimed) Qingqiu Jiuyue, could no longer bear it. She swept her tail, and the graduates who were just full of spirit were instantly reduced to half, and the remaining half scattered instantly.

In recent days, they had not been spared by Qingqiu Jiuyue. Facing the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox with the charm ability, their meager cultivation was no match. Performing a handstand on the spot was considered light, and the most unfortunate ones jumped into the sea to catch fish for Qingqiu Jiuyue to eat.

The fish that could keep up with the speed of Fushan were not ordinary fish, including many fierce carnivores. Thus, those unfortunate students put on a show called "Jaws" right before everyone's eyes...

It's worth mentioning that Huang Fei was one of the biggest victims. Because he accidentally uncovered a secret, he had already become the main character of "Jaws" three times, adding several lively and fresh great white sharks to the restaurant on Fushan.

Seeing Qingqiu Jiuyue's eyes start to change color, Huang Fei felt a chill down his back. This time, he didn't even wait for Qingqiu Jiuyue to use her terrifying charm ability; he dove into the sea and began "Jaws 4."

Soon, only a young alchemist, who had been dragged there by Huang Fei, remained on the platform.

In a corner of the platform, he was fully focused on studying a stone slab in front of him, completely unaware that he was the only one left.

"This... and this..." Mingxue took out a pen and lightly drew an auxiliary line on the stone slab, connecting two of the broken lines.

After drawing this line, the lines on the stone slab became clearer, but Mingxue shook his head and quickly erased the line.

No, that's not right. There should be a better way to connect them.

This was the game Mingxue was most enthusiastic about after obtaining the stone slab, which he named "Connect the Dots." After receiving this mysterious reward for completing the Tiantai Mountain map, he had been studying the stone slab and became increasingly interested, dedicating all his time on Fushan to this research.

Mingxue was not very clear about the origin of the stone slab, but the natural lines on it completely captivated him. Each line and each vein seemed to contain a mysterious power, making him increasingly engrossed.

Because of this, Mingxue had somewhat neglected the little fox that had returned and ignored a certain mysterious girl who always appeared by his side.

As a result, Huang Fei and his many friends, who were hanging out with Mingxue, suffered greatly. They were treated as scapegoats by the fox demon princess, who had bad luck in love, and lived a life of hardship.

"Hey, why are you always looking at this rotten stone slab?" For her biggest "rival" at the moment, Qingqiu Jiuyue had an irreconcilable hatred and had tried to destroy it several times.

But this stone slab was so rotten that it was not afraid of boiling water or fire, and even when thrown into the sea to be destroyed, it would mysteriously return to Mingxue's room, making the great Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox princess so angry that she picked up a large hammer and smashed it three hundred times.

"Because it's interesting. Don't you think so?" Mingxue looked up and saw the charming Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox princess Qingqiu Jiuyue.

Now he knew how unfathomable the strength of this princess was. Despite having only two tails, the bloodline and innate abilities of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox were too terrifying. Perhaps all the people on Fushan combined were not her match.

However, despite having such great power, the personality of this fox demon princess was not bad. She was a lively, cute, and energetic young girl.

If it were in the past, encountering such an outstanding and adorable girl, he would have already lost control and confessed to her.

Of course, the result would have been no different from his previous 999 failed relationships, only bringing him bitter heartbreak.

But that was all in the past. Now, he could calmly appreciate her charm in this quiet corner, the alluring beauty that came from the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox's innate charm, a beauty that made people fall in love involuntarily.

Don't think that the graduates, who were tormented by her, didn't secretly like this approachable fox demon princess. They just didn't dare to confess to her.
