She stroked the fox's back, muttering with a hint of mischievous amusement, "Who told you to kiss their lips?"

The fox lowered its head, as if it hadn't heard anything.

However, his snow-white, fluffy tail hesitated for a moment before gently hooking around Shen Wangshu's wrist.

The tip of its tail gently brushed against Shen Wangshu's wrist, making Shen Wangshu feel a ticklish sensation.

"You're just one step away from becoming a great demon, that's truly remarkable." Shen Wangshu saw the fox's tail scratch her and wrap around her wrist. She secretly glanced at her and saw that the fox seemed not to have noticed anything and even tried to pounce on her and stuff her two paws into her clothes. Her lips twitched.

She thought of what the fox had done to her when it first appeared, and she narrowed her eyes, hiding the cold glint in them. She stroked the fox's head and smiled more gently, saying softly, "It seems you can stay in the Spirit Gathering Array for a few more days."

The fox tilted its head to look at her.

"You're not allowed to sleep in bed recently," Shen Wangshu said coldly, her face grim.

Tears welled up in the fox's alluring, upturned eyes.

It seemed to be asking why.

However, Shen Wangshu wouldn't be fooled. She was immune to the tricks of the zombie Ah Xuan from her previous life. She bounced the now even heavier fox around, pinched its ear, and watched as it clutched its ear with its two furry paws, sneakily burrowing into her arms with a wicked look on its face. She looked up at the top of the cave and couldn't understand why she always found that Ah Xuan seemed to have gotten even more shameless over the years.

The fox, which was pretending to be innocent and naive, was being held by its tail and suspended in mid-air. Just as she was wondering what to do with it, she saw beams of spiritual light coming from outside the cave.

She raised her hand to disperse the array outside the cave, and saw Daoist Xiwu walk in with a beaming smile.

This dashing and handsome young man seemed to be in high spirits because of a happy occasion. He looked very energetic and cheerful, which was completely different from when he had argued with Ling'er before.

"Why have you been in seclusion for so long?" he said with a smile as he sat down in front of Shen Wangshu.

“It’s normal for cultivators to go into seclusion for ten or eight years, what’s a few days?” Shen Wangshu felt that Daoist Xiwu’s joy was a bit strange, and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “You haven’t fallen in love at first sight again, have you?”

This young man seems shrewd, but he's actually a fool. He shouldn't fall for any girl who has a past with Yue Xizhi, or he'll be tricked again. Although Shen Wangshu was in seclusion, he knew about some rumors outside. He knew that Daoist Xiwu had actually been deceived quite a bit by Ling'er before, and that many of his treasured magical treasures and elixirs were taken away by Ling'er when he was pursuing her.

Shen Wangshu never expected that Daojun Xiwu was so magnanimous. After being coaxed with so many treasures, he didn't even think of killing Ling'er.

After all, Ling'er had deceived his feelings.

She also heard that Ling'er had recently taken her own elixir to help Yue Xizhi.

This makes things even more awkward.

The fact that Daoist Xiwu could still laugh shows he has a good mental fortitude.

"How could I dare to like a woman again?" Daojun Xiwu smiled bitterly upon hearing this. He had never imagined that the seemingly simple, straightforward, and innocent young girl would have such cunning. Not only did she deceive him, making him believe that they were mutually in love, but she even used his name to bully others in the sect.

He ordered several of his disciples to investigate within the sect and learned that many disciples had been humiliated by Ling'er. This girl, having assumed the status of his fiancée, had bullied others and done many infuriating things. Not only were these things attributed to him, but Daoist Xiwu also disliked women who were domineering and bullying.

In particular, they act arrogantly under his name.

Feeling somewhat guilty, he ordered his disciples to reward the sect disciples who had been bullied by Ling'er, which cost him a fortune.

Shen Wangshu fell silent.

"You like men now?" she suddenly asked.

Daoist Xiwu coughed abruptly, his gaze deep and resentful, and murmured, "Of course not, I won't dare to like anyone anymore. But you don't need to worry about me, look!"

His face lit up again, and joy shone in his clear eyes. He suddenly pulled out a small, dark shadow, shook it in front of Shen Wangshu, and laughed happily, "I'll learn from you and like foxes from now on!" A squeaking sound came from his hand, and a small, jet-black creature struggled desperately, looking incredibly lively.

Shen Wangshu was stunned.

Even Xiao Xuan, who was casually licking his paws in her arms, was stunned.

The human and the fox stared at Daoist Xiwu, speechless.

"Look, isn't it cute?" Daoist Xiwu paid no attention to the little figure's struggles and affectionately stroked the little thing.

The little thing struggled even more fiercely.

Judging from its menacing posture, if it weren't for Daoist Xiwu holding its tail, it might have bitten it.

“This is…” Shen Wangshu asked tentatively.

"A fox," Xi Wu Daojun proudly and solemnly introduced his spirit beast, his peach blossom eyes curving into a smile as he held the fox in his hand. "A naturally unique species, a Xuanhu!"

This is a small fox, its entire body jet black, its fur as dark as the night.

It looked extremely thin, yet its eyes were filled with untamed wildness. Even knowing it was no match for Daoist Xiwu, it still bared its teeth and claws, fighting him fiercely. It looked incredibly ferocious, its dark eyes filled with hostility, nothing like the cuteness Daoist Xiwu had described. Especially when the young man's long, graceful hand pressed down on its back, tracing a path down its spine to the tip of its tail, the black fox shivered and became even more enraged.
