When the disciples of the Fuyu Island who were dazed by the Ruǎn Xiāng sū[1] woke up in a daze the next morning and found the house empty and rushed to report to the sect leaders, Xuanji and the others had already swam across the sea and flew to the rescue of Ting Nu with their swords.
At the moment, Xuanji’s nose is red and she’s rubbing her eyes, she did not sleep in the night, and the effort to swin in the sea for an hour and afterwards flying on the sword without stopping to rest, even for a person made of iron this will be a bit unbearable.
“We …… are going to find Tingnu somewhere?” after she asked this, her nose itched and she sneezed several times, almost falling off her sword.
“Wow …… must be dad scolding us ……” she sniffed her nose, her red nose and eyes, looking more and more like a little rabbit.
The purple fox is lying on her shoulder, the silky fur floating with the wind, beautiful and charming, hearing her say so, then said: “I think it may not be that your father is scolding people, you should be careful, do not get sick.”
After thinking about it, she felt it was too intimate, so hummed and added, “If you get sick and delay in saving Ting Nu, it is your fault!”
Xuanji did not take it seriously, raising her hand and patting the furry head as if she was patting a small dog that was having a temper tantrum, “I will definitely find him.”
The purple fox turned her head away in disgust and was furious: “The little girl doesn’t distinguish between superiors and inferiors! The fox fairy’s head is something you can pat?”
Xuanji ignored her squeaking, rubbed her soft ears again and laughed, “Why can’t I touch it? You are a fox, and foxes are for people to touch.”
The reasoning in her heart is always inexplicable and confusing, dogs and cats are for petting, why is a fox also for petting?
The purple fox’s sharp mouth moved, and wanted to argue with her, but suddenly her nose sniffed twice and said urgently, “Quick! Go down and get down! I think I can smell it!”
The group hurriedly descended from the clouds, only to see a large town beneath their feet, looking at the pavilions and towers from afar, very beautiful, much more elegant than the previous Zhongli City.
Yu Sifeng’s eyes lit up and he smiled, “This is Qingyang, I’ve been here before. There are old friends here.”
The purple fox twitched her ears and squealed: “You’ve been here before, that’s great! This place smells like Ting Nu! I’m glad that Qinggong and Dang Kang are here too! Ting Nu must be okay! Go down and find him!”
After all, the sword landing in a crowded place would easily cause a commotion, so most immortal cultivators would choose a remote place to fly with their swords.
Xuanji asked the Purple Fox, “What are Qinggong and Dangkang?”
The purple fox gave her a white look and with a big tail flap jumped off her shoulder, charmingly walked forward and said, “I thought you were so powerful, yet don’t even know this …… hum! Ting Nu is a very old and powerful man, so of course he has demon creatures around him to protect him and work for him at all times. The two are his pets.”
Xuanji wondered, “Is he very old and powerful? Then how come you caught him and locked up?”
The purple fox was speechless for a while, and after stammering for a while, she suddenly became angry and said sharply, “I asked him for help! Who said I caught him! And …… it is better he lives in my place! Save him from unrelated fairies and demons always coming to trouble him!”
“Why should the immortals and demons bother him?” Xuanji does not know how to read the mood and still asked.
The purple fox is glaring at her, why why why why, she is still not finished?
“He …… was framed and wanted for a period of time. Although the list was later withdrawn, there were still many things that bothered him. You do not ask so many questions, who do you want to know about people’s affairs?”
Xuanji is very innocent: “Obviously …… it is you who said …… to me”
They say foxes are fickle, and it’s true. It was her own words, and she was only there to listen to it, so how did it become her fault?
“You’re disgusting!” The purple fox is angry and ashamed, even if something is made of iron, with her poking and prodding, poking and prodding, it will also be broken. She knew that all the good-looking girls in the world are not good but sinister and cunning.
She turned around and jumped onto Yu Sifeng’s shoulders with a flick of her tail, wrapped her two paws around his neck to prevent herself from falling, and said in an unkind and charming manner, “Such a nasty little girl, whoever likes her has no eyes!”
Yu Sifeng smiled lightly and did not say anything.
“What are you laughing at?” The purple fox was immediately pleasant to the young man, squinting a pair of charming eyes, stretched out his tongue on his face to lick, although she did not have the guts to do anything to harvest the yang to replenish the yin, but such a superb young man in front of the eyes, not to take advantage of really does not fit their nature. The last time a good thing was interrupted, she is still a bit stifled.
Yu Sifeng shook his head, raised his hand and grabbed her bog tail and gently lifted up.
The purple fox squeaked and shrieked: “What are you doing? You little thief! You can’t grab my tail! Let go of it!”
Before she could finish screaming, she was stuffed into the wide sleeve of Yu Sifeng.
“It’s so dark here, I can’t breathe!” She scratched the cuff with her paws but she managed to carve out a hole for her and stuck her sharp mouth out. Suddenly her tail was caught by something cold and a strong force pulled her back.
The purple fox hurriedly looked back, only to see two ghostly eyes staring at her from the darkness of the sleeve, she snapped her mouth shut, only to see a ring of silver glittering snake tail wrapped around her, from tail to thigh, and then the cold tongue flicked on her nose.
“She finally stopped yelling.” Zhong Mingyan wiped his sweat, listening to the purple fox twittering all the way there, although she had a nice voice, a fox that was always raving was still annoying.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Snakes…! It’s a snake!!!”
The purple fox was inside the sleeve of Yu Sifeng and was picking at it, crying out to the skies.
“Snake, snake, snake–!”
Yu Si Feng smiled slightly, patted his sleeve and said softly: “Xiao Yinhua, be gentle and get along with each other.”
Zhong Minyan covered his ears and looked at the faint smile on Yu Sifeng’s lips in a cold sweat and suddenly felt that he should not mess with this person.
It’s scary!
The city of Qingyang was just around the corner.
The city of Qingyang is the largest city in the west, which is many times more prosperous than the previous Zhongli City.
The city they passed through was more beautiful than the other, and the things they encountered were more bizarre than the other. Although Xuanji didn’t know if this was called “eye-opening”, they did seem to have learned a lot without realizing it.
The first time they came to Qingyang City, they were no longer as naive as they had been in Zhongli City, looking at all the buildings like country bumpkins.
Yu Sifeng is familiar with this place and soon found an inn, The group settled down and went to their rooms to order hot water to take a bath and change their clothes which were covered with salt. They escaped from the Fuyu Island in the night, swam in the sea for half a day and after landing were afraid of being caught, so did not dare to even breathe a little, even rushed to fly away with their swords, until now tey have had little rest.
Xuanji was so sleepy that she couldn’t keep her eyelids open. After taking a shower she didn’t even bother to dry her hair and fell asleep. Yu Sifeng and the others were still holding on, sitting downstairs drinking and chatting.
Zhong Minyin saw that there was quiet in his sleeve, no sound, and worried: “Your Xiao Yinhua is poisonous, don’t bite this fox to death or we can’t go to Buzhou Mountain!”
Yu Sifeng did not say anything, next to him Ruo’Yu laughed: “Minyan, that is a fox demon with a thousand years of cultivation, Xiao Yinhua is not yet a spirit animal, it’s poison won’t kill her. Just to scare her.”
Zhong Minyan yawned, he has also almost spent two days and two nights without sleep and is full of fatigue but there is always something in his mind, always thinking about, even sleep is not stable.
“The fox said there was Tingnu’s scent here, didn’t she? So call her out and ask her where it is so we can find him.”
He tinkled his chopsticks on the bowl, very impatient.
Yu Sifeng flung his sleeve, the purple fox, shrunken into a ball, fell onto the chair with a thud from the inside. The two animals are motionless, not knowing if they are alive or dead.
“Dead?” The chopsticks in Zhong Minyan’s hand fell to the floor in shock.
Yu Sifeng still did not say a word, reached out and gently grabbed Xiao Yinhua and picked it up, it looked up lazily at its master and curled up clingingly around his wrist, hid back in his sleeve and went back to sleep.
“If you play dead again, we won’t save Tingnu.”
Yu Sifeng said in differentlu. The fox jumped up vigorously as soon as the words left his mouth, and slipped into his arms, scratching his chest with his paws, crying and screaming, “You heartless little thief! Little thief! Stinking little thief! How dare you torture me like this!
Yu Sifeng grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up. The furry creature was defiant and tossed its limbs vigorously, full of an attitude of ‘I’ll scratch you to death’.
“You said you smelled Ting Nu, right? Is he in this city?”
The purple fox cried pitiously to illicit sympathy, tossed and turned for a long time and found that the other side simple ignored them. Eventually gave up and wiping the tears, aggrievedly said, “I don’t know why, above there is the scent of him and Qinggong but in the city there is no scent.”
“Hey hey hey! You don’t have to cheat like that! You can find a better excuse for lying, right?” Zhong Minyan began to knock on the porcelain bowl again in anger.
The purple fox was not so polite to him, and with a curl of her tail, she grunted proudly, “Do I need to lie to you brats? I don’t smell it, I don’t smell it, and not only can I not smell Ting Nu, I can’t smell many other smells. There’s probably a heavy-smelling demon living here that’s covering up everyone else’s scent.”
“Demons again! How come there are demons everywhere!” When Zhong Minyan heard the word demon, his brain became three times bigger.
“What kind of demon is it, in your opinion? Will it harm people?” Yu Si Feng asked in a low voice.
Zihu’s ears moved and she shook her head: “I do not know. In fact, many of the demons who cultivated into human form, they like to live with people and to be a real human. Actually demons are not necessarily harmful to people?”
Zhong Minyan didn’t bother to talk to her anymore and said sharply, “No, no, no! It’s time for us to do business at a loss. Sifeng, let’s get rid of this smelly demon first, and then find Ting Nu!”
Yu Sifeng pondered for a long time, then suddenly said, “I have someone I want to meet, and he is in Qingyang City. I want to wait until I see him before I talk about getting rid of the demon.”
