Chapter 8

Before the little fox could react, a flash of white light appeared before its eyes, and it was back in the empty courtyard.

Before he could say anything, he was thrown onto the bed.

The expression on Qinglian Shenjun's face was quite different from usual.

His eyes, usually as clear as autumn water and as ethereal as the moon and clouds, now seemed to burn like fire beneath ice, turning his pupils red.

"God, God-King"

The little fox was suddenly kissed, its chest felt tight, and its tongue went numb from the kiss.

A bitter taste spread, as if the other party had passed on some medicine. The little fox tried to spit it out, but its tongue was pressed down, preventing it from moving.

In his distress, he conjured a fluffy tail, which swept back and forth across the other man's chest, only to be caught by the man.

That was clearly the fox's most vulnerable spot; as it was kneaded, the intertwined hemp and tangled flesh brought tears to the little fox's eyes.

"You stinky god."

He couldn't resist kicking the Azure Lotus God again.

"Hit me if you want, punish me if you want, but don't pinch my fox tail! That's for my wife!"

The movement was so large that the ankle was grabbed in an instant.

The little fox's feet were different from those of ordinary men; they were small and delicate, and as white and smooth as clam meat. When held in a man's large hand, they looked like snow dumplings.

The deity's eyes were deep and dark. He gripped the little fox's foot and rubbed it back and forth with the sole of his foot, causing the little fox's tail to bristle.

"Don't do that."

He tried to crawl away, but was pulled back by his ankle.

At this moment, the deity seemed to have transformed into a snake with heterochromatic eyes, just like a strange tale the little fox had once heard.

The snake likes lychees, so it peels off the skin and soaks them in honey.

It will first sip the honey bit by bit, and then slowly savor the fruit pulp.

The little fox felt like a lychee, plump and translucent, about to be devoured by the god at any moment.

"Don't eat me."

Tears welled in his eyes, his fox tail hesitated for a moment, then finally covered his chest with it.

"I...I am not food!"

The Azure Lotus God smiled upon hearing this.

He was originally very refined, but at this moment, the lotus pattern between his eyebrows was faintly tinged with red, as if he had fallen into a god, showing a kind of extremely contradictory and gorgeous beauty.

The little fox stared at the other, momentarily stunned, and failed to avoid the other's next move.

"No, no!"

The little fox flicked its tail, splashing the god's face with it each time, only to have its tail feathers pinched until they turned pink.

A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and the little fox's eyes welled with tears, her voice hoarse: "You, you are a god, how could you do this?"

The Azure Lotus God pursed his lips, still troubled by what had just happened, and responded to the little fox with even more outrageous behavior.

The little fox cried incessantly at first, but gradually other sounds began to mingle with its cries.

Upon hearing this, the lotus pattern between Qinglian Shenjun's brows turned even more crimson.

The lotus-patterned silver bells on the top of the tent have been redesigned, now in pairs, and are much larger in size.

"Let me go!"

He couldn't help but cry, and desperately struggled and kicked.

"Only lovers can do such a thing! Who do you think you are to treat me like this?!"

"I hate you, I hate you the most!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded outside the window.

The sky resembled a burning giant tree, its crystal branches snapped by lightning, with blue sparks everywhere.

The electric light illuminated the icy, soul-like face of the Azure Lotus God.

The lotus pattern between his eyebrows flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and blotted out red like a wound.

Who does Yao Yao like?

The man lowered his long eyelashes.

He gently stroked the little fox's collarbone: "If that person disappears, will Yao Yao still like him?"

The little fox suddenly opened its eyes wide.

Outside the window, the sky was like a cracked mirror, with lightning flashing and illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

The pupils of the Azure Lotus God were charred black, like the deep holes left by falling stars.

He had a graceful and elegant appearance, but his expression showed a hint of depravity.

For some reason, the little fox felt a little frightened.

This appearance is so much like someone possessed by a demon.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted, like the giant axe of Pangu, threatening to cleave the heavens and earth in two.

The little fox was already panicked, and it felt as if the thunder was exploding violently in its ears. Its fluffy white fox tail curled up around itself, and it trembled uncontrollably.

The Azure Lotus God Lord reached out and covered his ears.

The little fox saw his lips move a few times, and a hint of vulnerability appeared in his eyes.

He seemed to be saying, "Don't be afraid."

When the other party released the object, it was as if a soundproof barrier was erected in the room, and all the thunderous noise disappeared.

Even as the white light lashed across the windowpane like a whip, the little fox couldn't help but tremble.

In his fear, he finally couldn't help but shrink into the arms of the Azure Lotus God.

When the lotus fragrance overwhelmed the little fox, she felt that such behavior was too cowardly and wanted to push the other party away.

However, her waist was tightly held.

The silver bells jingled on their own, even without wind, keeping time with the little fox's rhythm.

The sound lasted for an unknown period of time.

Rain falls horizontally and wind rages wildly at the end of March.

Even though it couldn't hear any noise outside, the little fox felt as if a torrential downpour had drenched its chest.

The torrential rain outside the window gradually subsided, but the thousands of peach blossoms, which had just bloomed, were blown away by the rain and wind, leaving only a ground covered with fallen petals.

That delicate, newly blossoming beauty left a trail of floral patterns on the window.

The little fox's face flushed, but its vision blurred.

He pulled back from Qinglian Shenjun's arm.

Although he was a fox, he was not skilled in magic.

Remembering that at least there was some food last time, the little fox felt even more aggrieved.

The little fox was sobbing, and when the Azure Lotus God tried to kiss him, he turned his head away abruptly: "You gave me food last time, but this time, there's nothing!"

The deity was taken aback, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.

His long eyelashes drooped, his green robe was like a carpet, and with a slight turn of his wrist, lotus flowers appeared.

This time, however, it wasn't a snow lotus, but a red hibiscus.

He held the little fox in his arms, opened his palm, and placed it in front of the little fox.

The little fox grabbed the other's hand, and upon tasting it, felt a sweet and refreshing sensation burst from its lips.

To eat, he suppressed his tears and repeatedly licked the palm of the Azure Lotus God.

Why did it become like this?

The Azure Lotus God-Lord fell silent for a moment, seemingly searching for the right words.

"Indulging in food?"

The little fox felt that the other person's words were a bit strange, as if they had known each other for many years.

Even though the Azure Lotus God was being tactful, he still felt his ears burning and couldn't help but grab the fox's tail to cover his face.

“Ever since the training ended,” he said softly, “I’ve wanted to eat everything. The physician said it’s because I was starving before, so…”

Before the little fox could finish speaking, the Azure Lotus God suddenly hugged him tightly.

It's an indescribable way of holding someone, as if encircling a priceless treasure.

If it's too loose, it might get lost; if it's too tight, it might break.

He was still not used to being so close to people, and just as he was about to push the other person away, he felt a slight chill on the back of his neck.

Water droplets fell on him.

Is being starving a terrible thing?

The little fox looked somewhat bewildered.

Immortals have indeed never seen the joys and sorrows of the world; what is this little thing to them?

The little fox in that story made a wedding dress for someone else, cut off her elixir and severed her love, was covered in wounds, crossed out her fate on the Three Lives Stone, and finally jumped off a cliff. That was truly a tragic and inhuman story.

The little fox was really badly tormented this time, so he reverted to his fox form and stayed curled up on the bed all day, rarely coming out except to eat.

Fearing he would get bored, the Azure Lotus God personally drew hot spring water from the courtyard and even raised some fish from the Milky Way.

The water is clear and round, the lotus leaves sway gently in the breeze, and a subtle fragrance permeates the lotus leaves that reach the sky.

It was transformed from the primordial spirit of the divine lord.

Although the water rippled and the silver scales floated, attracting the little fox's attention quite a bit, he stubbornly remained in his fox form, motionless.

Helpless, Lord Qinglian personally cooked a lot of desserts.

There are many kinds of pastries, such as Poria cocos and Osmanthus cake, Golden thread jujube paste pastry, and Lotus flower pastry.

Moreover, the pastries he made were very special, with a unique fragrance that would steal the little fox's soul.

Strangely, despite his excellent cooking skills, the Azure Lotus God always gets injured.

It wasn't his hand that was injured, but his wrist.

When he approached, the little fox always felt a strange fragrance wafting from his wound.

But the Azure Lotus God is not a lotus flower pastry, so how could it emit such an enticing fragrance?

The little fox was completely baffled and was about to refuse firmly when a piece of golden jujube paste pastry was offered to him.

It smells so good.

His fox ears twitched, and he began to eat from the hand of the Azure Lotus God.

"How is it?" the other party asked.

The little fox gave a soft hum, its fluffy white tail swaying from side to side.

The Azure Lotus God seemed to slightly curl the corners of his lips as he reached out and pulled the little fox into his arms.

But after the fierce storm the day before, the little fox's tail exploded as soon as the other party touched him.

He subconsciously bit the back of Qinglian Shenjun's hand, quite hard, even leaving teeth marks.

After finishing the nibble, the little fox realized how abrupt it had been and felt a little flustered.

Look at the consequences of angering the Azure Lotus God. Even the young master was beaten until he vomited blood, so he was even more vulnerable.

A man can bend and stretch.

So he raised his eyes slightly, gently glancing over the teeth marks, trying to smooth them away.

The Azure Lotus God's eyes were unfathomable, seemingly deep and tinged with sadness.

Finally, he simply said, "The hot springs are great, would you like to try them?"

The little fox nodded and was immediately held in someone's arms.

Since he was fox-shaped, he was too lazy to struggle—since he was now a fluffy snowball, did he really need to be so particular?

Once inside the hot spring, the little fox couldn't resist transforming into human form and stepping into the water.

The fish in the pond were extremely small, some only the size of a fingernail, swimming and darting between his feet.

The little fox's paws were snow-white, like tender lotus roots hidden in water, attracting silver fish to gather around, like fragments of stars floating among them.

"It itches so much!"

The little fox was already bored, so he couldn't help but splash around in the water.

He tried to catch a larger koi, but it slipped from his hand and splashed water all over his face.

"A big, fat fish."

The little fox's face was covered in glistening water droplets, which slid down his chin and cheeks and accumulated on his collarbone, like a cup of crystal-clear fine wine.

He stood with his hands on his hips and declared, "I'm going to catch you all!"

After playing around for a while, the little fox felt himself sweating, and his clothes were soaked and stuck to his body.

Her white dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, and she floated on the water like a lotus flower.

He looked at the Azure Lotus God on the shore, one hand behind his back, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, the mountain scenery faintly shimmering, still exuding an air of ethereal elegance, and couldn't resist playing a mischievous trick.

The little fox scooped up a handful of water and suddenly splashed it at the Azure Lotus God.

Caught off guard, the other person's face and front of their clothes were splashed with water, and water was dripping from their eyebrows and the corners of their eyes.

The little fox couldn't help but feel smug. "You dared to bully me? I'll splash my bathwater all over your face!"

The sunlight shone brightly, falling like jewel dust into the eyes of the divine lord.

The man, with his jade-like bones and lotus-like face, was transformed into a uniquely beautiful figure by the water droplets, and his gentle radiance was even more apparent when he raised his sleeve to wipe away the water droplets.

Those eyes reflected only the little fox in the water.

Like a cocoon layered to conceal a pearl, the Azure Lotus God's pupils were deep and dark, as if he wanted to embed his own image deep within them.

The little fox was no stranger to beautiful people, but he was still momentarily stunned. It wasn't until the man waded into the water that he remembered to dodge.

"I was wrong!"

The little fox ran straight out, its tail splashing water everywhere, but it was caught by someone.

He was lifted up and then kissed deeply.

The little fox floated on the water like duckweed, drifting aimlessly, not knowing where it was going.

He gradually found it difficult to breathe.

He felt the other person's fingertips brush against his skin like swimming fish along the wide sleeves, gradually sliding into his upper arm.

"Hmm."

The little fox felt a strange shiver and pushed the other away abruptly, but the Azure Lotus God was holding a leaf between his fingers.

"There are floating leaves in the water."

The deity's eyes were clear and cold, like reflections on a blue wave.

The little fox's face flushed, and he stopped talking, grabbing his clothes and running towards the shore.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Yaoyao, is it alright if we stay here all the time?"

The little fox suddenly stopped.

The clouds stretched to the horizon, and the sky was clear and bright.

A gentle ripple of emerald mist, a solitary peak vying with the rosy glow of dawn.

This is indeed a place blessed with natural beauty and spiritual energy, but what the little fox wants is to live a life free from the cycle of seasons and all worries.

He only vaguely replied, "We'll see."

The little fox initially thought that the Azure Lotus God must be too lonely, which was why he insisted on staying.

After a while, when he gets bored, he will naturally be let go.

But this thought vanished without a trace after he inadvertently saw a crumpled prescription.

The little fox had been a lazy bum for many years, but he was once a leader among foxes.

Although it was written with many characters in the ancient Cangjie language, it only had one meaning.

Despite the bright sunshine, the little fox felt a chill run down its spine.

These past few days, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord has been dragging him around almost every day to do that thing.

Before each session, a pill would be fed into his mouth.

Because the medicine was bitter, he would conjure up a red lotus flower to coax her each time. Because of her gluttony, she didn't notice anything amiss at first, but now it seems—

The Azure Lotus God actually wanted to make him—wanted to make him—

This won't do!

The little fox's fur was all puffed up; he's a male fox!
