The man's usually aloof eyes softened with tenderness, and his gaze toward the little fox was more focused than ever before, though he himself was unaware of it.
Tu Shan Lingxi was initially a little uncomfortable with the Grand Preceptor's friendly gestures, since the two were rather estranged in their previous life.
But in this life, Tu Shan Lingxi can clearly sense Wan Qijin's affection for her, and she is willing to be close to Wan Qijin.
Hmph, even the Imperial Advisor has been conquered by my little fox!
"Awoo~"
Tu Shan Lingxi nuzzled Wan Qijin's large hand with her little head to show her affection, her bright black eyes full of dependence.
Wan Qijin chuckled softly. He liked this little fox that he could hold in his arms. It was tiny, but it could melt his heart in an instant.
He seemed to prefer the little fox's human form; Wan Qijin couldn't forget the woman above the snow mountain spring.
She is like a snow lotus on a high mountain, or a bewitching demon on a snow mountain, both enchanting and ethereal, breathtakingly beautiful, even the gods would be captivated by her.
That flawless face, those bright black eyes, that delicate and charming nose, and those rosy lips—every time he thought of them, his heart would flutter.
Is this the charm of the last demon in the world, able to easily captivate everyone, making them willing to give everything just to win a smile from a beauty?
Wan Qijin was no exception. He thought he had transcended the mortal world and was no longer involved in worldly affairs, but his wildly beating heart told him that he was still an ordinary person.
He didn't understand his feelings for the little fox, but one thing he was certain of was that he couldn't wait to turn the little fox into a human.
I miss him terribly if I don't see him for a day.
Wan Qijin's heart would flutter whenever he thought of the woman. He squeezed the little fox's paw, his voice carrying a hint of coaxing.
"Little fox, do you want to cultivate and transform into a human?"
As Wan Qijin spoke, she touched her uneasy conscience and felt somewhat embarrassed, but thinking of the little fox, she continued to coax her.
"After becoming human, you can eat human food to your heart's content, roast goose, roast duck, and all kinds of food. You can also wear many styles of dresses like human women, and be as beautiful as a fairy every day."
Tu Shan Lingxi, who was bored and playing with Wan Qijin's clothes, perked up immediately upon hearing this and listened carefully.
She hadn't forgotten that she had a mission in this life, given her chance to be reborn. She couldn't remain a fox spirit forever, just the Grand Preceptor's beloved pet.
Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in the little fox's eyes. She raised her little paw and placed it on Wan Qijin's large hand.
"Awoo~ Awoo~"
"Does this mean you agree?"
Tu Shan Lingxi nodded her little head. Her bright, intelligent black eyes were particularly dazzling, especially when she looked at Wan Qijin, her eyes filled with admiration.
Wan Qijin was captivated by her gaze, and he etched her adorable appearance into his heart, softening his soul.
He got up and took Tu Shan Lingxi to the spiritual spring from that day. That's right, in her previous life, Wan Qijin had helped her cultivate in this way.
Tu Shan Lingxi is the only demon in this world. Her spiritual energy is severely suppressed, making it impossible for her to cultivate on her own. She can only rely on the Grand Preceptor.
Even if she wanted to cultivate into a human as soon as possible after her rebirth and seek revenge on that beast Yin Yi, she simply couldn't do it and still had to rely on the Imperial Advisor.
Thinking of this, Tu Shan Lingxi climbed into Wan Qijin's arms, licked his chin, and fawned over him.
This action made Wan Qijin blush. He knew that the little fox didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted him to help her.
But Wan Qijin couldn't help thinking too much. He inexplicably thought that if Tu Shan Lingxi were to transform into a human, she would retain the fox's habits and lick him...
Wan Qijin's face flushed. Even the ice that had stood for millennia could melt. He couldn't help but hug the little fox tightly, then realized that he had been too hasty.
Wan Qijin slowly released his grip on the little fox, carefully tucked her into his arms, and flew off to the Spirit Spring.
Once they were standing still, Wan Qijin took out the little fox. Returning to this familiar place, the woman's voice and appearance were still vivid in his mind.
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Wan Qijin called her "Xi'er," such an intimate term that both the human and the fox were stunned upon hearing it.
"We've arrived, Xi'er."
"Huh?"
Tu Shan Lingxi twitched her ears slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her large black eyes. The little fox tilted her head, looking unusually adorable.
