The young man had delicate features, with slightly upturned eyes that held a natural allure. His fair skin, set against the fiery red fox fur, looked like white jade, without a single flaw.
In troubled times, such a beautiful young man is rare.
Kong Xin only glanced at the young man and said, "I'm going to look for Commander Zhang. His base is about a hundred miles away. If you don't mind, we can go together."
The young man was delighted. He nodded vigorously, imitating the hollow gesture, and clasped his hands together, saying, "Thank you, Master. My last name is Hu, and I'm the seventh child in my family. They all call me Xiaoqi."
Kong Xin smiled slightly, nodded at Hu Qi, and stopped talking.
Although the sky was dark at this moment, the moonlight was bright. Although Hu Qi was in human form, he had a soft and fluffy fox tail on his back, and the hollowness could be seen clearly.
Kong Xin closed his eyes slightly. He was not a reckless wizard. He did not want to kill all the monsters he saw. As long as Hu Qi did not cause trouble, he would let him go.
The night was cold, and Hu Qi found some dead branches from somewhere and put them on the ground to form a fire.
The crackling sound of the fire should make this small, dilapidated and cold temple feel warm and cozy.
Kong Xin asked, "You are so young, why are you looking for Commander Zhang instead of studying at home?"
There was a monster causing trouble in that place, and Kong Xin didn't want to capture another monster when he captured it.
Hu Qi smiled and said, "Commander Zhang has my benefactor, and I want to go and repay him."
Hu Qi smiled beautifully, revealing two small canine teeth. His fair face looked even more powdered under the firelight.
Kong Xin didn't think much of it. Although foxes were spirits, there were also legends of them repaying favors. Since they were going to repay a favor, there was no need for him to meddle in their affairs.
The two chatted for a while, and it was late at night. Hu Qi glanced at Kong Xin and said, "It's cold at night. Master, can I sleep next to you?"
Kong thought to himself, I don’t feel cold even though I’m only wearing a monk’s robe. How dare you, a fox demon wearing a red fox fur coat, say you’re cold?
He frowned slightly: "It's not convenient for a monk."
Hu Qi hung his head and said nothing, then went to sleep on the side.
Kong Xin also found a corner to sleep. In the middle of the night, he really felt cold. He thought that the fire might have gone out. He wanted to get up and find some wood to make a fire, but before he opened his eyelids, he felt a warmth and Kong Xin closed his eyes.
When it was daybreak, Kong Xin felt something furry beside his cheek. He opened his eyes and saw Hu Qi leaning on his shoulder, still sleeping, with a big furry tail draped over him, and two fox ears, as if he was sleeping soundly, actually appeared and brushed against his cheek.
Kong Xin raised his eyes and saw snowflakes falling from the ruined roof of the hall. A lot of snow had accumulated on the ground. It turned out that the chill last night was the arrival of winter snow.
If the fox hadn't come over to warm me last night, I would have woken up from the cold and felt uneasy in the middle of the night.
Kong Xin was about to get up, but unexpectedly the boy leaning on him moved, put his arms around his waist, and rubbed his chin with his head.
The fox's ears were fluffy, and its soft fur brushed against his chin, causing ripples in the mage's calm heart.
Kong Xin frowned and reached out to pat Hu Qi on the back: "Get up, get going!"
Hu Qi opened his eyes, retracted his ears and tail, and became that handsome young man again.
He seemed a little surprised to see Xue, and first wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur, but then looked at the hollow and gave an embarrassed smile.
"The mage is wearing even thinner than me. This... this coat... is for you!" Hu Qi took off his fox fur coat and stuffed it to Kong Xin.
The fox fur still carried the boy's body temperature and a pleasant smell.
Kong Xin knew that the other party was a fox demon and was not afraid of the cold, so he put it on without hesitation. The fox fur was warm, and although the wind and snow were strong during the journey, Kong Xin did not feel the slightest bit of cold.
The two set off on their journey. Along the way, Hu Qi was extremely talkative, talking about the general situation of the world and his interesting experiences. He actually knew more about it than Kong Xin, a human.
The man and the fox had a very pleasant conversation.
At noon, Kong Xin took out a cold and hard steamed bun and ate it. Hu Qi said, "Master, if you don't mind, I have something delicious here."
Kong thought, what good could a fox demon eat? Perhaps rabbit or pheasant? Monks can't eat those.
As a result, Hu Qi took out a steaming vegetarian pancake from his backpack. It was filled with tofu and grains, and it smelled delicious.
Hu Qi stuffed it into his hollow hand and said, "Master, try it. Is it delicious?"
Kong Xin took a bite and said, "This seems to be the vegetarian food from Linhai Zen Temple."
The monks of Linhai Zen Temple may not have any other special skills, but they are the best in the world at making vegetarian food.
Hu Qi nodded vigorously and said, "That's right. It's just a coincidence. I knew that the master would be vegetarian. I brought this cake with me yesterday. I kept it close to my body to keep it warm because I was afraid of the cold. Since it tastes good, please eat it quickly."
Kong Xin knew that he was a fox demon, so he didn't refuse and didn't ask where these things came from.
After eating it, your mouth is filled with lingering fragrance, and your heart and stomach feel warm.
Kong Xin thought: This fox is quite human.
The two continued on their journey, covering hundreds of miles in three days.
Kong Xin knew it was a fox passing by, so he didn't care. Even if the fox-turned-boy slept next to him every night, he didn't think it was a problem.
It’s just that… sometimes the boy would get too close, making the monk, who had been practicing as a child, feel a little embarrassed when he woke up in the morning.
Sometimes, when fellow disciples saw each other in the temple, they would make some harmless jokes. But after his master left and he decided to become a Buddhist, no one dared to laugh at him for having an erection in the morning.
Whenever there was an awkward moment in the morning, Kong Xin would silently push Hu Qi away and walk forward alone, letting Hu Qi chase her panting from behind.
After Hu Qi caught up with Kong Xin, he did not complain at all, but was extremely attentive. Along the way, he helped Kong Xin clean her sleeping place, cook and make fire. He even often drooled at the rabbits running in the distance in the snow, but he did not dare to go forward to catch them for fear of exposing his true identity.
Kong Xin saw it but pretended not to see it. Although the boy transformed by the fox was cute and attentive, he was just an acquaintance to him, so he would not meddle in the fox's affairs.
On the evening of the third day, as the setting sun shone brightly, Hu Qi pointed to the city in the distance and said, "Commander Zhang is in the city, right?"
Hollow nodded, "Yes, but even though it looks close, it's getting late now. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow to get into the city."
Hu Qi was very happy. He took Kong Xin's hand and said, "Master, I know a good place nearby. I'll take you there!"
Kong Xin shook off Hu Qi's hand: "Monks don't have the heart to play around."
Hu Qi was a little frustrated. He glanced at Kong Xin cautiously, and after a moment he said, "Well... you wait here for me, I'll go play for a while, okay? Just for an hour!"
Kong Xin nodded. He planned to set up a demon-suppressing formation outside the city tonight and enter the city to subdue the monster tomorrow.
Kong Xin quickly set up a formation outside the city. He took off all the Buddhist beads hanging on his chest and buried them in all directions. If the monsters wanted to escape tomorrow, they would not be able to escape from this Vajra Demon Subduing Formation!
After Kongxin finished all this, he looked at his merit bottle.
He only needs one more monster to accumulate enough merit to see the Western Paradise.
After doing all this, Kong Xin thought of the fox demon. He said he would be back in an hour, and he didn't know why he took so long.
There will be a big battle tomorrow, so I should remind the fox not to interfere with the monk's monster hunting if he has nothing else to do tomorrow.
Hollow was impressive at tracking monsters, let alone a fox that made no attempt to cover its tracks?
It wasn't long before Kong Xin found the fox's footprints.
It's interesting that the fox actually ended up in a deserted forest, still in human form and using human footprints.
As Kong Xin followed the footprints, he wondered what the fox was doing now. He thought, "Maybe he's sneaking off to catch pheasants or rabbits or something."
But soon, he followed the footprints and smelled a smell of sulfur in the air. He was startled and thought that the fox had run to the munitions department to make trouble. However, when he took two more steps forward following the footprints, he heard the sound of water.
A smile appeared on Kongxin's face. This fox demon really knew how to enjoy himself. He actually found a hot spring and secretly came here to take a bath!
I walked to the edge of the hot spring. The hot spring was wild and wonderful.
Snow was piled up everywhere, but a stream of warm water flowed out from the cracks in the rocks. The warm water accumulated and formed a spring.
It's just a small pond about four or five meters square, but there is a red plum tree growing by the pond.
At this moment, snow was falling from the sky, red plum blossoms were blooming proudly, and the hot spring water was warm. The monk suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and his body felt a little itchy.
But at this moment, Hu Qi, who was swimming freely in the spring water, saw the monk standing on the shore.
The monk was wearing a thin robe, his face was stern, there was some stubble on his chin, but his eyes revealed compassion.
What a handsome monk, the kind foxes like!
Hu Qi's eyes showed surprise, and he waved towards Kong Xin with a cheerful voice: "Master, I thought you were not coming!"
Then the young man in the hot spring smiled again, his eyes bright and his teeth white: "Come down and take a bath, it's so comfortable! Even gods can't compare to it!"
Kong Xin was a little hesitant. He remembered his master saying that the first thing a monk should do is to abstain from sex.
But…a male fox is not even a human being, so even if he is good-looking, how can he be considered lustful?
Besides, he often bathed with his fellow disciples in the temple, and even played with them. But that was when he was young. Later, when he inherited his master's mantle and became a magic exorcist, none of his fellow disciples dared to bathe or play with him.
Kong Xin sighed somewhat, loosened his clothes, and walked into the hot spring.
This hot spring was cleverly designed, only reaching the chest, and there were natural stone steps in the water. So Kong Xin sat on the stone steps, leaning his back against the stone wall, letting the warm water flow to his limbs.
It was very comfortable, so Kong Xin's usual serious expression was now filled with a smile: "You really know how to find a place to play. If I hadn't come with you, I would have missed such a wonderful creation of heaven and earth."
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of water rushed in, and Hu Qi's head suddenly emerged from the water, only a nose away from the hollow.
Hu Qi looked at Kong Xin with a grin, his face full of energy. He was already handsome, and now the moisture in his eyes made his eyes look a bit seductive.
Hu Qi said, "Master, let me ask you a question. Do you like me?"
Kong Xin felt something was wrong for no reason.
Especially when this fox demon spoke, his breath was exhaled onto his face.
Hu Qi, however, seemed completely unaware. He swam over to Kong Xin's side, and like they used to do when they slept together, he put his arm around Kong Xin's arm and rested his head on Kong Xin's shoulder. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Master,... I... I have something I want to ask of you. Please agree to this, considering my diligence these days!"
Kong Xin felt Hu Qi's arm reaching out from under the water, and their skin touched.
The other person's finger tapped his chest. It was as if a string of sparks had ignited. He wanted to angrily scold the fox demon and use his demon-subduing beads to deal with it! But then he remembered that the demon-subduing pillar had long been buried in the demon-suppressing formation outside the city.
So Kong Xin had to turn his head and wanted Hu Qi to stay away from him. It was inappropriate for two men to be too close to each other, not to mention that he was a monk.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the other person's bright red lips, pink tongue between the red lips, and teeth as white as pearls, shiny and beautiful.
"Master, your heartbeat is a little unstable." Hu Qi said, "Are you okay?"
As the fox demon spoke, he touched his hollow chest with his hand, which felt a little hot.
The hollow said, "It's okay!"
The tone has become a little bad.
Hu Qi didn't believe it. He leaned on Kong Xin's shoulder and whispered softly, "Your heart is beating so fast... You haven't told me yet, do you like me?"
Hollow said, "I don't like it!"
Hu Qi raised his head from Kong Xin's shoulders, turned to face him, and put his arms around his neck, pleading in his eyes, "But I want you to like me. I'll try my best. Give me a chance, okay? I'll do whatever you want me to do! Actually, I... I've been looking for a long time today, and I found this hot spring. I think you'll definitely like it."
As the other person spoke, he seemed to be on the verge of tears. His pointed chin, flawless skin, and low pleading made the monk feel panicked. Besides the panic, he also felt a strange impulse.
The impulse started from the heart and rushed to the lower body.
