The little fox thought he was very clever, very clever indeed.
Taking advantage of the moment she flicked her fur, before Yin Changling could react, she "whooshed" away like an arrow released from a bow.
Yin Changling hadn't expected Tu Shan Lingxi's move. He stood up, walked around the screen, and came to the door, only to find that the little fox had long since disappeared.
"Why are you running away? You little fox, you really are... Sigh, never mind, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Although Yin Changling said this, the disappointment in his eyes was still clearly visible, and he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
However, I've been away from the palace long enough; it's time to go back and see if those cowards have risen up in rebellion.
The king still nurtured the ambition of the Marquis of the North, but that old fellow was indecisive and had been scheming for most of his life without making any progress.
They are timid and cowardly, nothing to fear. The only thing to worry about is that they might resort to some underhanded tactics.
He now only has two paths to take: one is to weaken the power of the vassal states through enfeoffment, and the other is to directly send troops to suppress them by force.
However, we should make these plans after we return to the palace; it is not advisable to rush things now.
...
Yin Changling was lost in thought, while our little fox secretly ran to the kitchen to fill her stomach first.
Tu Shan Lingxi took very light steps, tiptoeing, afraid of disturbing Lord Yi Changfeng.
Does the little fox still remember what that person said when they stopped her?
What's with all this fuss? They weren't even acquainted before, and in their previous life they had never even met.
I wonder where the Grand Preceptor picked this person up from in this life. This person is always talking nonsense. The Grand Preceptor should ask a witch doctor to give him a proper diagnosis.
The aroma wafting from the kitchen instantly whetted the little fox's appetite.
She took three steps at a time, not caring about concealing herself, and ran to the steamer.
This was the first time the little fox had ever seen such a dish. The slices of meat were bright in color, plump and juicy, and even more fragrant than the roasted lamb leg it usually ate.
"Awoo~"
Tu Shan Lingxi's craving was triggered, and without caring whether it was hot or not, she took a bite.
Sure enough, before she could even swallow, her eyes welled up with tears from the heat, and her little tongue turned red from the burn. She looked so pitiful.
Even though she was scalded like this, this greedy little fox was reluctant to let go, and kept holding the meat in her mouth, preparing to let it cool down for a while before eating it.
Unbeknownst to her, there was a figure behind her, gazing at her intently with gentle eyes that seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.
Yi Changfeng gripped the door frame tightly; he no longer knew how to describe the shock he felt.
The little fox is clearly a little fox; it just looks very similar to Song Lingxi after transforming into human form. The two are not the same person at all.
But Yi Changfeng always subconsciously ignored this point. He couldn't help wanting to get closer to the little fox and to be close to his Xi'er.
"Xi'er~"
Yi Changfeng finally couldn't hold back. He called out softly, his voice seemingly filled with boundless affection.
His call successfully froze the little fox completely. Could this be considered being caught stealing food, or being caught by that dim-witted cook?
Tu Shan Lingxi quickly devoured the entire piece of meat, then turned around. Her white fur stood on end, resembling a cloud, making her look rather adorable.
"Awoo~"
After the little fox finished eating, she turned around and looked at the man. A guilty look flashed in her big eyes, and she stood there, not daring to move.
"Xi'er, change back and talk to me, okay?"
Yi Changfeng didn't care about that at all. He just stared longingly at the little fox, wanting to see that face he had been longing for again.
Tu Shan Lingxi tilted her head to look at him, a hint of confusion flashing in her bright, watery eyes, unsure whether to listen to him or not.
"Awoo~"
Yi Changfeng noticed the confusion in the little fox's eyes and patiently explained.
“Little fox, I mean no harm. I just think you look a lot like an old friend of mine and I want to see you again.”
"Huh?"
Although the little fox didn't know who he was talking about, she keenly sensed that the man's mood suddenly dropped.
The little fox was still a very kind little fox. She stretched out her little paws and patted Yi Changfeng's big hand comfortingly.
"Awoooooo~"
Don't be sad.
Yi Changfeng felt her little fleshy pads and forced a smile, but the disappointment in his eyes just wouldn't go away.
That forced smile was too complicated in the little fox's eyes. She tilted her head slightly, thinking about what the Grand Preceptor had said to her, which didn't seem to mention Yi Changfeng by name.
Maybe... I can... turn back into human form?
The little fox let out a howl, retracted its tiny paws, and performed a magnificent transformation!
Yi Changfeng's pupils contracted slightly as he watched the little fox perform a miraculous transformation, and the person he had been longing for day and night appeared right before his eyes!
The overwhelming visual impact made Yi Changfeng's eyes redden slightly, and his figure swayed as if he were about to collapse. He took two steps forward and suddenly let out a sob.
What's wrong with you?
Tu Shan Lingxi, dressed in white, looked at Yi Changfeng, who suddenly burst into tears, and felt sorry for him.
She couldn't quite describe how she felt, but she felt a little down, as if the man in front of her shouldn't be crying, but rather smiling gently.
"Don't cry, I didn't do anything!"
Tu Shan Lingxi's muffled voice rang out. As she watched the man cry, she herself felt a little like crying!
Hearing her familiar voice and seeing that identical face, Yi Changfeng was finally certain that he wasn't dreaming.
Such a coincidence, his inexplicable time travel—he believed that with so many coincidences combined, it couldn't possibly be a coincidence at all!
As Yi Changfeng thought this, he took two steps forward, grasped Tu Shan Lingxi's fair wrist, and looked her up and down, tracing the girl's features bit by bit.
He was excited and about to say something when suddenly a gurgling sound came from inside.
I'm hungry!
The little fox came to the kitchen to steal food, but this guy insisted on doing this, interrupting the little fox's grand plan to steal food.
She complained with a straight face, but her soft, sweet voice was not at all offensive.
Yi Changfeng finally stopped crying and started laughing. His wandering heart finally felt at peace at this moment, as if he had found his own lone boat.
"I'll make it for you right away. What would you like to eat?"
"Meat, chicken, duck, and goose meat!"
"Okay, I'll make it for you..."
Our Imperial Advisor was completely unaware of all this; he was still healing his wounds at the Spirit Spring, unaware that the little fox had already begun secretly foraging for food.
If he had known, he wouldn't have been able to sit still; he would have come to catch the little fox long ago.
It's all because Wan Qijin completely underestimated Yi Changfeng; he was far too careless!
