Chapter 18 My Wife is a Vixen 18
After saying goodbye to the bird doctor, the fox doctor said to His Highness, "A fox servant just came to me and said that the two in the water dungeon are quite badly injured and asked if I need to take a look at them."
"No need. If they die, it's just bad luck for them."
"By the way, find someone to keep an eye on those exorcists trapped in the barrier and cause them some trouble."
"Yes." The fox doctor withdrew.
A-Yuan's eyes immediately lit up with gossip: "Sis, what's your relationship with that white-haired guy?"
"How come I've never heard you mention that?"
"What's there to say?" Ah Ning felt incredibly foolish when she thought back to that time, but now that it's all in the past, that man doesn't stir any emotion in her heart anymore.
She still harbors resentment towards him.
"Sister, tell me." A-Yuan abandoned Ji Huaizhi and grabbed her sister, her expression suddenly turning sinister: "Is your tail because of him?"
Ji Huaizhi's light cough drew their attention: "Should I go out?"
“There’s nothing I can’t hear, it’s all in the past.” A Ning sat down and took a sip of tea. “My tail was indeed because of him.”
"At the time, I didn't know he was an exorcist, and she didn't know I was a demon."
Ah Ning's eyes turned slightly cold as she recalled the past.
Back then, Ah Ning wasn't as cold and heartless as she is now. Like most of her sisters, she was the most carefree and lively little fox in Qingtai Mountain.
However, she was more mischievous than her sisters. She would often transform into a fox to steal chickens from nearby villages, or transform into human form to play in the streets. If she encountered children who bullied small animals, she would scare them until they cried.
Back then, she was lively and energetic.
Until he met Qing Shuang, who had come down from the mountain to gain experience.
Back then, he wasn't yet white-haired, nor was he called Qingshuang.
His name is Zhou Lixing.
He was walking alone on the street, carrying a small bundle on his back and holding his own sword. A Ning sat by the window listening to a storyteller.
A casual glance outside revealed Zhou Lixing dressed in white.
However, Ah Ning only glanced at him and thought that this person's cold face was really handsome.
I turned my attention back to the audiobook.
Unexpectedly, the two met again very soon.
Having overindulged in her play, A Ning ran quickly into the mountains, afraid of being scolded again if she went back. On the way, she encountered Zhou Lixing, who had been injured by a demon.
"who?"
"You scared me! I thought it was a dead person, but it's alive!" A-Ning patted her chest.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the pretty one from during the day.
When Zhou Lixing saw her face, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. But then he remembered that she was no ordinary person who was still outside at this hour, so he remained wary of her.
Ah Ning didn't linger; she fed him a pill and left in a hurry.
As he left, he touched Zhou Lixing's face and said, "If you survive, you'll owe me a life. Remember to pay me back."
Zhou Lixing blushed and called her frivolous, but she had already left. It was the first time he had encountered a woman like this; seeing that she knew martial arts, he assumed she was a woman of the martial arts world.
Before long, he found that his wounds no longer hurt and the bleeding had stopped.
Then I remembered what she fed me when she left.
The two met for the second time because someone had taken a liking to A Ning's face.
You should forcefully take her away on the street.
She originally planned to go with them to find a secluded place to deal with these people, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lixing jumped out and directly used his sword sheath to defeat these bullies.
"It's you." A Ning was a little surprised.
Zhou Lixing raised his chin: "Don't you know kung fu? Why do you still want to go with them?"
"Because it's inconvenient to be on the street, I'm going to follow them and find a quiet place to teach them a lesson. If they want to take advantage of me, they'll definitely have to pay a price."
Ah Ning stood with her hands on her hips, looking lively and charming.
The bells in her hair jingled softly with her movements.
Zhou Lixing then realized that the girl was even more beautiful during the day.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" A Ning snapped her fingers: "Are you captivated by my beautiful appearance?"
"I apologize." Zhou Lixing cupped his hands in greeting. "My name is Zhou Lixing."
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
Ah Ning tilted her head, revealing a canine tooth: "My name is Ah Ning, what do you do?"
"You look a bit like..."
After looking him up and down, he thought he looked somewhat like a cultivator. He looked at him with suspicion, wondering if he was from Mount Jiutai.
"I am..." Zhou Lixing thought for a moment and then said, "A lone swordsman."
"A lone wolf? That sounds interesting."
Zhou Lixing thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much for the medicine last time, otherwise I would have been in grave danger given my condition at the time."
"A resurrection pill?" A Ning waved her hand dismissively. "Here you go. Didn't I touch your face last time?"
Hearing this, Zhou Lixing pursed his lips: "Is this how you treat everyone, young lady?"
"I'll just pick whoever I like." A Ning stroked her chin, looked up and saw a restaurant: "Didn't you say you wanted to thank me? Then you can treat me to a meal."
"Let's go there!"
A Ning pointed to a bustling and luxurious restaurant.
Zhou Lixing patted his purse and nodded.
Unexpectedly, Ah Ning was not polite at all and served all the dishes that the waiter had read out.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhou Lixing felt a pang of anxiety for his meager savings.
Sure enough, when it came time to pay, Zhou Lixing didn't have enough money: "Wait here for a moment."
She took out the jade pendant from her bundle and turned to the waiter: "Can we go over there and talk?"
With meat still in her mouth, Ah Ning blinked and wondered if he was short of money.
"How can this be? We're a restaurant, what are we going to eat if we don't have money?" The waiter's tone was a bit unpleasant: "You can pawn this jade pendant and get some silver notes to pay for it. You can't leave your jade pendant here."
"We don't know if your jade pendant is really valuable."
Zhou Lixing: "I'm just leaving the jade pendant here as collateral. I'll come back in a couple of days to pay for the meal and redeem it."
"That won't do either. I'm just a waiter; I can't make the decision."
Suddenly, a piece of gold appeared before their eyes, and the waiter and Zhou Lixing looked to the side.
"Here, this meal is on me." A Ning tossed it to the waiter.
The waiter immediately beamed and took a bite: "Well, you're the most generous lady."
He glanced at Zhou Lixing with disdain: "So you're just a kept man."
"This is my friend, you can't say that." A Ning grinned, somewhat displeased.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say, ma’am.” The waiter then put on a completely different face to the pretty girl: “But ma’am, we might not be able to make change for your gold ingot.”
"Find as much as you can. Go to the kitchen and pack some extra food for me to take back to my brothers and sisters."
"Make sure the portion is generous."
Alright!
Zhou Lixing was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it was supposed to be my treat, but unfortunately I'm short of money... I've made a fool of myself in front of Miss A Ning."
"You should have said so earlier. I understand people from the martial arts world." A Ning didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter who pays for this meal."
She even placed the large bag of loose silver that the waiter had given her on Zhou Lixing's chest: "I, A Ning, have always been generous to my friends. Here, take this."
"No..."
"Why not?" A Ning glared at him.
"You're good-looking, so I'm happy with you." She said, forcefully stuffing the money into his chest.
Zhou Lixing's expression suddenly turned red, and when he heard her say that he was good-looking, his expression changed unpredictably again.
"Do you treat other people the same way?" Zhou Lixing didn't know why he asked that.
But the thought of her treating everyone like that makes me feel a little bitter.
"What?" A Ning didn't hear clearly.
