The feeling was so wonderful, it was as if the woman was gently caressing his chest, softly and alluringly.
The woman's face became clearer and clearer. Her round eyes were just like the little fox's, still innocent and naive, yet more alluring than seductive eyes.
Ever since the little fox transformed last time, Wan Qijin has been unable to forget her. If he were to directly catalyze the little fox's transformation now...
Wan Qijin was startled by his own imagination. He grabbed the little fox's paw and, seeing the shock in the fox's eyes, coughed awkwardly.
"Hey, little fox, are you hungry? I'll have Changfeng make you something to eat."
"Aww!"
The little fox's ears perked up instantly; she was no longer the fox who had been bewitched by beauty. She nodded heavily and let out a howl.
This lively action instantly dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere from before, and Wan Qijin finally came to her senses.
He quickly stood up, pulled up his robe, and dared not look at the little fox again before hurriedly leaving the room.
It felt as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was behind them, and they fled without daring to stop for a moment.
Only the little fox remained in the room. Tu Shan Lingxi watched her master's retreating figure, and her large tail suddenly stopped wagging.
She tapped her head with her paw in regret, secretly annoyed with herself. What had she just done? She had scared her master away!
This must not happen again! It absolutely must not happen again!
The little fox secretly made up her mind that from today onwards she would keep her distance from her master, because she was there to protect the Grand Preceptor, not to molest him.
Having figured all this out, the little fox finally calmed its wildly beating heart, and its eyes regained their usual clarity.
...
Unaware of all this, the Grand Preceptor was still wandering in the courtyard, his thin white robes fluttering in the wind, slowly dissipating his fiery temper.
He dared not stay any longer, for fear that he would lose control and forcibly transform the little fox into a human, and then take her.
This would be unthinkable for others, but Wan Qijin could do it. He didn't want to hurt the little fox; forcing it to grow would completely damage its foundation.
In severe cases, it can even destroy the little fox's cultivation, making it unable to cultivate anymore. For a demon, that means losing the right to live.
That's why he ran out, desperately suppressing the thoughts that he shouldn't have at this moment.
However, after this incident, Wan Qijin was certain that he had indeed fallen in love, otherwise he wouldn't have acted that way towards Tu Shan Lingxi.
Wan Qijin touched her wildly beating heart, took a few deep breaths, and recited a few calming mantras to suppress the evil fire within her.
Thinking that the little fox inside was hungry, he stopped and turned to Yi Changfeng's side, wanting to get some delicious food for the little fox.
Kitchen.
Sure enough, Yi Changfeng was diligently cooking a meal there, and the aroma of meat wafted over from afar.
"Changfeng, is there any food that's already prepared? The little fox just woke up and is hungry."
When Wan Qijin's clear voice came, Yi Changfeng keenly heard the words "little fox" and, forgetting about the fire, ran out excitedly.
"Your Excellency, the little fox is awake?"
"Hmm, do you have any cooked meat here? That little guy is very picky."
Wan Qijin saw Yi Changfeng's happy expression and a hint of wariness flashed through her heart, but she remained calm on the surface and continued to repeat herself.
Yi Changfeng failed to notice Wan Qijin's wariness. Upon hearing this, he became even more delighted and quickly replied.
"Yes, yes, we have freshly roasted lamb leg and some warm porridge in the pot, just right for the little fox."
"Okay, then I'll take it."
"Wait, sir!"
Wan Qijin turned around, frowned slightly, and glanced at Yi Changfeng who had chased after him, somewhat puzzled.
"Is there anything else?"
Wan Qijin is now keeping a closer eye on the little fox than anyone else, fearing that she is too young and naive to understand things and might be seduced by someone. Therefore, he intentionally wants to keep the others away.
Therefore, when he heard Yi Changfeng call him back, Wan Qijin was even more displeased. He was afraid that his Xi'er would be taken away by someone else, so he spoke first.
"Xi'er likes to eat chicken. You can think of a few more ways to cook chicken. She's still hungry. I'll go back now."
Wan Qijin rarely refers to himself as "I" unless it is on a more formal or large occasion. Now, by saying it like this, he is using his status as the Imperial Preceptor to intimidate others.
Yi Changfeng understood. Not only did he understand, he also realized Wan Qijin's intention: he didn't want him to follow and didn't want him to meet the little fox.
But Yi Changfeng is not an obedient person. He has already died once and doesn't care about these twists and turns. This time, he just wants to live his own life.
So he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, his back ramrod straight, showing that he was truly unafraid of the Grand Preceptor's power.
"My esteemed advisor, I just wanted to tear the mutton apart for the little fox, otherwise it would easily get its fur dirty."
"Furthermore, I need to watch the little fox eat myself to know what flavors she prefers so I can make something better next time. Is that alright, Your Excellency?"
Wan Qijin stared at him for a long time, seeing his resolute gaze, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I won't be at your beck and call next time."
Wan Qijin's eyes flickered as she scrutinized the other person. Seeing the person's unusual persistence, she could only nod helplessly in the end.
"Yes, but be careful to keep your distance. The little fox is still injured, so don't touch her, it will hurt."
Wan Qijin used a little trick here; he didn't allow anyone to touch his little fox, so he gave it a small warning.
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency!"
Yi Changfeng didn't understand the Grand Preceptor's warning. After thanking Wan Qijin, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
For some reason, he really liked the little fox. He felt inexplicably drawn to her and missed her terribly if he didn't see her for a day.
Now that he had finally found a good excuse, he was overjoyed. He quickly tidied himself up and hurriedly followed Wan Qijin.
Yi Changfeng followed Wan Qijin with light steps, somewhat overjoyed, and neglected to help the Grand Preceptor serve the dishes.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded: Yi Changfeng, clearly a servant, had empty hands, while the Grand Preceptor, his master, was carrying food.
Neither Wan Qijin nor Yi Changfeng realized that this somewhat absurd scene was due to their own hidden agendas.
The Grand Preceptor was deeply wary, after all, he had just learned that the little fox was fond of beautiful women, and Yi Changfeng was not bad-looking.
Yi Changfeng was overjoyed. He had been lonely ever since he came into this world, and he was really looking forward to meeting the little fox he liked.
