Su Xiaoxiao woke up again in the early hours of the morning.
Open your eyes naturally.
Holding the small quilt, I looked at the curtains swaying in the darkness above my head.
She had just had a dream that she was a little embarrassed to talk about.
Su Xiaoxiao dreamed of the early morning with Zhao Lang on Xiaogushan Mountain. She pulled him up early in the morning and played the role of a beautiful woman with red sleeves and fragrance, accompanying the sleepy Zhao Lang to read, fulfilling her wish for a beautiful story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
In the darkness, the little fox demon with charming eyes pouted her pink face and blushed slightly.
It was clearly agreed that Hongxiu would read with Xiang, but after Zhao Lang read for a while, he wanted to do something bad.
While reading early in the morning, he closed the windows and doors, under the pretext of teaching her a new instrument called "Xiao".
He... why is he so bad... Su Xiaoxiao buried her slightly drunk and flushed face in the quilt, and her ears were a little red in the darkness.
At the time, she thought it was a real musical instrument, but it turned out to be a bully. It actually… it actually made her use it in various ways…
But at that time, Su Xiaoxiao was just like every time when Zhao Lang hugged her and coaxed her with soft words, she was hot and dizzy, confused, and Hu Shang fell to the bottom in an instant, obeying him...
Then, every time she thought of it secretly afterwards, the little fox demon would fan herself with her little hands, nibble her silver teeth, and be angry with him in every way, while at the same time blaming herself for not living up to her expectations, and that she deserved that he ignored her now, as if he had forgotten her. However, if Zhao Lang used the same old trick again next time, sticking to her and kissing her like a cowhide plaster, the little fox demon would once again "fall to the bottom of the valley in a daze and obey him"...
Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses from her wild thoughts. She buried her face, which had been secretly stared at by countless sisters in the tribe, in the quilt for a long time before she calmed down.
She took the little quilt to the roof to dry in the sun today. It smells like sunshine, which is similar to his smell.
This was the surprising discovery the little fox demon made a few days ago. She didn’t know if it was an illusion or not. Anyway, every time there was sunny day, she would happily take her little quilt out to bask in the sun, and the little fox sisters would all look at her curiously.
However, when Su Xiaoxiao was in Qiantang Mountain, she was an outlier among her companions. She behaved strangely and did some silly and strange things, but the girls were not surprised.
Su Xiaoxiao did not explain anything. She clapped her hands, put her hands on her hips, raised her head, hummed a few times, and squinted her narrow fox eyes at the warm sun. She silently decided in her heart that she would no longer want her stinky lover Zhao Rongla. She would just have the little quilt of Grandpa Sun to accompany her and hold them when she sleeps at night.
However, what Su Xiaoxiao could not have imagined was that Zhao Lang was so cunning, even more cunning than her, a smart and clever little fox demon. He sneaked into her dreams every night and annoyed her in various ways.
Su Xiaoxiao was holding a small quilt that stored sunshine. When she fell into a dream, the small quilt no longer existed in her little head, but someone's shadow.
In nine out of ten of her dreams, he was smiling brightly. In the other dream, he was pretending to be a thief, deliberately scaring her. In the dream, he chased her all over the world, and then, after forcing her into a corner and struggling desperately, he suddenly called out the words "baby" that they had once called each other intimately, which made her, haggard and pitiful, turn her back and ignore him...
But most of the time, when Su Xiaoxiao dreamed of him, she couldn't help but curl her lips in her sleep, sometimes she murmured happily in her sleep, and her occasional frown would be quickly melted by his smile...
Why did Su Xiaoxiao know?
Some of them were discovered by her friends who woke up at night. When they talked to her during the day while she was working, they asked her if she had secretly found a man to have sex with. At first, Su Xiaoxiao hesitated and changed the subject. Later, after gaining experience, she smiled and tilted her head, nodded her little head, and said yes, yes, I dreamed of a silly scholar who was learning to carry five carts...
Some of them were discovered when she woke up in the early morning, like tonight, and touched her face with her little hand or looked in the bedside mirror.
Because sometimes, after Su Xiaoxiao wakes up, she will slowly forget about her dreams, just like a spring dream that leaves no trace.
In order to know whether Zhao Lang bullied them in their dreams or loved them and made them happy, all the little fox spirits would look in the mirror or touch their faces when they woke up.
Look at her slightly upturned mouth, her slightly wrinkled brows, or... the pillowcase and quilt wet with tears.
Although he is not with her now because he is studying, Su Xiaoxiao still remembers everything about him and all traces of him. This enemy who has changed her entire future life and likes to bully her must not deny his debt!
Although she is a little fox demon who has just transformed into a human form with low cultivation level, even if he becomes a great monk like a saint in the future, if he betrays her, she will find him even if he runs to the ends of the earth, just like she foolishly ran down Qiantang Mountain without hesitation.
Moreover, she... she was just a little fox demon, well-behaved and caring for her lover, and she could resist disturbing him from concentrating on his studies in the academy like now. Xiao Xiao had been holding it in for more than three months. How could such an obedient little fox demon be a hindrance to him if he kept her around? He was not allowed to abandon her...
At this moment, in this elegant pavilion, on a lovely decorated bed.
Su Xiaoxiao, who woke up at night, had a cute look with a hint of laziness and naivety. Her loose bun was hanging down and about to be untied, and her beautiful eyebrows were lightly painted and could be lightly brushed.
She was tilting her head, staring blankly at the pink curtains by the window that were blown by the strong wind. At a certain moment, she had a smile on her rosy cheeks and her bright eyes were slightly glanced up. No one knew what interesting things she was thinking about, or maybe the embarrassing things in her dream just now?
"You... why don't you come to see me... I'm well-behaved and obedient. I won't come to see you and disturb you while you're studying, but... but don't you know how to come to see me? Take the initiative to find me... or are you very busy? Well, Xiaoxiao can't disturb you..."
A lovely girl with a pair of extremely charming fox eyes, with drooping eyelids and slightly puffy cheeks.
"...But...But I really miss you. I have so many things to say to you, and I want to tell you all the fun things that happened these days."
A silly little fox demon who had read too many books about talented men and beautiful women was daydreaming, and finally came to his senses.
The moonlight seems to be dimmer tonight, and the wind is stronger, as if... it's going to rain.
In the dark and quiet room, rhythmic breathing rose and fell.
It seemed that quite a few people were sleeping. Faintly, there were beds with various interesting designs in the room.
On the cute bed near the corner, Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a pink and white bellyband that was familiar to someone, and she was lazily propping herself up with her slender right arm.
She held the small quilt in one hand to cover her breasts, and her big fox eyes blinked smartly as she looked around the spacious room.
This is not Su Xiaoxiao's room alone.
There are also many little sisters in the tribe.
If Su Xiaoxiao was the "bad student" in the fox clan of Qiantang Mountain who loved to play and read strange books, then these fox girls who were brought to Duyou City by their grandmother to see the world and gain experience were the "academic masters" who attached great importance to their studies.
However, these charming little fox demons not only focus their main energy on practicing and studying, well, pleasing their grandmother is also one of them. In addition to this, there is another "study" that is the top priority for them, and that is to show off, be vain and Versailles, bah, bah, it's love and study.
This can also be considered as the racial talent and special ethnic sentiment of the fox clan.
These fox girls from the Su clan in Qiantang Mountain all want to find an excellent and powerful lover. The more handsome, powerful, and enchanting he is, the better. Not only will he be prestigious, but he can also be a powerful aid in their cultivation, and they can practice Taoism together.
Of course, it’s not to say that there aren’t powerful and ambitious fox girls. There are even silly little fox demons like Su Xiaoxiao. There must be different species in the fox clan.
However, clinging to the strong has always been a compulsory course in the education of the fox tribe all over the world. They have been influenced by it since childhood. In the stories told by the elders, they are mostly about some powerful ancestor, with a surname and a name, who was the confidante of some great monk or figure in the history of the human race, the mother of some human genius, ahem, or the stepmother.
Or maybe a certain fox tribe attached itself to a certain glorious family line of the human race, and they were intermarried for a long time, sharing weal and woe. That period was so glorious that even the human race's Taizong had to give him some face...
In fact, to put it simply, every group has its own rules of survival, and the fox tribe is indeed good at cultivating the "marriage market".
Therefore, the connections and relationships of each fox clan are not simple.
Another thing I want to say is that because the foxes take sides in order to cling to the strong, all of them are gamblers!
Well, a savvy gambler, but a gambler nonetheless, wanting to lose everything.
Look at the current exiled situation of the Su fox clan in Qiantang Mountain, they are bound to Wangque Island and guarded by Tianya Sword Pavilion.
However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know this and didn't care about it, because she was not a gambler.
This unsociable little fox demon actually thinks that Qiantang Mountain is pretty good, Wangquezhou is pretty good too, and now Duyou City where her lover and grandmother are is even better.
What Su Xiaoxiao is looking forward to most right now is that Zhao Lang will come to pick her up, and then they will go to see her grandmother with their heads held high, to let her grandmother know that she did not come down the mountain to wander around aimlessly, but found the lover to entrust her life to, the lover she loves.
As for the matter of Zhao Lang, Su Xiaoxiao had not told her grandmother and sisters as agreed with Zhao Rong.
These days, living with her sisters, she seldom goes out. In Zhao Lang's previous words, she is very much a "homebody".
However, Su Xiaoxiao was not here for vacation. Although her grandmother liked her as the little fox descendant, she treated them equally in many things, so Su Xiaoxiao, like her other sisters, was assigned some tasks to do.
After finishing her work every day, she would return to her residence and not run around. Well, it might also be that the long journey had used up all the energy of the little fox demon. Okay, it might also be that Zhao Rong had used up all the energy, ahem.
Now, she doesn't even interact with or care about some people or things in her surroundings.
Just like when I was in Qiantang Mountain, I lived my own little life.
In her residence, Su Xiaoxiao was either doing needlework or quietly reading books about talented scholars and beautiful women. However, most of the time, she would be lost in thought while doing the first two things. Sometimes, she would rest her chin on her hand and stare at the unfinished sachet in her hand for an entire afternoon, giggling foolishly from time to time, or she would put down her work in high spirits to take out the small book box that Zhao Rong had buried for her, and take out paper, pen and ink to write and draw...
Su Xiaoxiao lived a simple and monotonous life. She would only go to Duyou City occasionally to buy some things. Every time she went out, she would look for Miss Lu to ask if there was any news about Zhao Lang. Then, she would somehow go to the outside of Zhaixing Tower and wander around the place where she and Zhao Rong had separated.
The past two or three months have passed so slowly. Well, Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was very slow. She wished that the sun and the moon in the sky could change shifts faster. How could they slack off while working like her?
As for the lively parties that grandma would take the other little sisters to attend on weekdays, the little fox demon would find some lame excuses to decline and didn't want to go out.
She wants to wait for Zhao Lang.
After all, this is not Qiantang Mountain, but a strange place called Taiqing Four Prefectures. There are many strange and unfamiliar people here. She doesn't like the looks of some people, so the originally lively and active Su Xiaoxiao thinks it is better to go out less and not be like those little sisters.
Based on the experiences Su Xiaoxiao had carefully summarized from the books she had read.
Usually, after a scholar and a fox demon are together, they live happily for a while, but before long, a hateful villain will appear and separate them.
Or he may be obsessed with the beauty of the adorable little fox demon and compete with the scholar for her.
Or maybe an old righteous Taoist priest or a chivalrous hero who was good at exorcising demons appeared out of nowhere, said "Hey! I can tell at first glance that you are not human", and then kidnapped her, suppressed her under a mountain or under a tower for hundreds of years, and then Zhao Lang had to travel through mountains and rivers and go through untold hardships to rescue her. Well, it's hard to say, maybe it was her child who came to save her.
Anyway, it's very tragic. Even if the two of them get together in the end, they will probably start preparing to turn into butterflies... Maybe they can get together in the same boat in the next life.
Hey~
Life is not easy, the fox demon sighed.
It was too dangerous outside, so Su Xiaoxiao thought it was better to have less contact with people and simply stayed at home.
However, while she was working and slacking off these days, she still got to know a few little elves who also worked in Taiqing Mansion, such as Xiao Douya, Luzhu, etc. Occasionally, they would come to play with her and chatter about interesting things.
It’s just that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are more and more gatherings in the palace. The palaces where they are are very busy, so they haven’t come here much...
In addition, Su Xiaoxiao has been very busy recently. Well, there are a lot of fish to catch.
Because some fox sisters often take leave to go out and play, some are looking for their lovers, and some are on their way to find lovers.
All day long they liked to discuss the young talents in Taiqing Mansion or the Linlu Academy next door - in fact, Su Xiaoxiao sometimes listened with her ears perked up for a while, mainly to hear the names of the Confucian scholars in the Linlu Academy next door. Later, she nodded with satisfaction, well, very good, without his name, Zhao Lang really did not disappoint her in terms of being ordinary. This is the good Zhao Lang, hold on, don't let others find out~
A certain little fox demon was as happy as if he had stolen a chicken, but no one knew about it.
In the room where Su Xiaoxiao lives, there are eighteen little fox demons living together. Each of them has their own bed, dressing table and other space. This is a spacious attic.
Right now, the "academic masters" sisters have asked for leave one after another for the sake of love and study, so the "academic loser" Su Xiaoxiao, who is considered a professional slacker at home for a hundred years in the eyes of the girls, has become their "good sister" and helps them slack off.
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao felt that this sisterhood was not too fake, and...
They are all so amazing...Su Xiaoxiao often couldn't help but sigh.
She felt that the little sisters were knowledgeable and experienced. From their conversations, they seemed to know many important figures and young talents. They seemed to know a lot about Taiqing Mansion, Linlu Academy and the immortal family in Duyou City. They also had many good things that the little fox demon envied. Well, the sisters would take them out from time to time and show them to her without reservation to broaden her horizons.
Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao felt that her friends were actually pretty good and they were living a pretty good life, it was just that the atmosphere between them was a little weird sometimes, which made people confused.
For example, at this moment, it is clearly time to sleep, why are the sisters lying in bed practicing in their quilts? Can't they come out to practice?
And their breathing was steady and rhythmic, just like they were really asleep.
But Su Xiaoxiao's eyesight was indeed very good. For example, the little friend on the bed next to her was not asleep at all. She was clearly holding a night pearl and reading a cultivation book in her quilt with great concentration. Even the light of one of her feet and the dim night pearl could be seen.
But aren't they stuffy? Their breathing is so steady... Hmm, their cultivation is really amazing, Xiaoxiao is the weakest.
A little fox demon who didn't know that she was the only "anti-curly" fool in her room sighed with envy.
Not long after, there was a sudden thunder outside the window.
The rain on the cold night finally poured down.
In the house with the windows tightly closed, the sound of raindrops was faint.
Some people find it noisy, while others find it peaceful.
Su Xiaoxiao, holding a small quilt, propped up her chin, and listened to the rain quietly for a while.
The next second, she suddenly jumped out of bed, with her frost-white little feet bare, holding a small quilt, and ran towards the closed window in some inexplicable way.
In an instant, the steady rhythm of breathing on the beds in the room suddenly stopped, and then, a series of vague eyes quietly emerged from the quilt and looked at the inexplicable movement outside...
