In March, not only were the various vassal states busy, but the little fox in the Grand Preceptor's mansion was also keeping busy.
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
Lingquan (Spiritual Spring).
Two figures, one tall and one short, sat together by the spiritual spring, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refining the essence of the sun and moon.
However, the little fox had been training hard for over a hundred days and had finally made it this far; she couldn't stand it any longer.
So, we can see that the little figure has started to misbehave again.
She opened her eyes first, and seeing that Wan Qijin's eyes were tightly closed, she tiptoed to her feet...
"Xi'er, what are you planning to do this time?"
Before the little fox could straighten up, a calm and melodious voice came from behind her.
She turned her head sharply and saw Wan Qijin's unsmiling eyes staring straight at her.
"Awoooo ...
They're not practicing anymore!
The little fox protested, unable to bear it any longer. If she had known she would be forced to cultivate for a hundred days straight, she wouldn't have been so rebellious and talked back!
The sweat she sheds now during her hard training is all the result of the foolishness she had when she talked back back then. She regrets it so much!
Tu Shan Lingxi complained incessantly, but knowing that Wan Qijin was petty, the fox started to whine and beg for mercy, trying to get him to let the little fox go.
"Aww~ Aww~"
Please!
Wan Qijin couldn't understand what she was saying, but from her cowardly and pleading look, he could tell that the little fox was probably kicking herself.
He was determined to toughen up the little fox, and hadn't let her drink a drop of water for days.
If the little fox gets hungry, feed her fasting pills, which has successfully kept her alive until now, and she's still lively and energetic.
One pill is enough to fill you up and keep you full all day. He learned this method from an ancient book, and it works well. He tried it himself, and the only downside is that it has little flavor and isn't very tasty.
"What, you can transform into human form now?"
Wan Qijin beckoned, and the little fox eagerly scurried over, willingly offering itself to be placed under his large palm.
If the ancestor of the fox clan saw her like that, he would scold her for being useless.
The little fox mutated into a fawning big dog; it failed to transform into human form, but successfully became a loyal dog first.
"Awooooo?"
The little fox nestled sweetly into Wan Qijin's arms, revealing its pink belly. Its obedient and adorable appearance melted Wan Qijin's heart.
Tu Shan Lingxi no longer wanted to cultivate. This was different from her previous life, where she only rested for two hours a day. Now, she spent all her time cultivating except for sleeping, and she wasn't even given food.
The little fox cried out, "I'm so miserable! My life is so hard! I never want to be a little fox again in my next life!"
"No, at this rate of cultivation, you'll be able to successfully transform into human form in another six months. Hang in there."
Wan Qijin remained unmoved. Although his expression was as cold and aloof as ever, his large hand readily began to stroke the little fox's exposed belly.
His words infuriated the little fox. The little fox was already reluctant to cultivate, and he still wanted her to persist. The fox couldn't take it anymore!
The fox must rise up! The fox must rebel!
Tu Shan Lingxi was so angry that she scratched Wan Qijin, and before he could react, she jumped into the spiritual spring. She was so fast that the Grand Preceptor couldn't catch her.
Water splashed everywhere, soaking the Imperial Preceptor. His wet white robes clung to his body, and a gust of wind chilled him to the bone.
He stood on the shore, waiting for the little fox to swim enough and come ashore. After all, Tu Shan Ling Xi had caused trouble before, but most of the time it was all bark and no bite.
However, this time was different from the past. The little fox gurgled for a long time but did not come ashore. She was still in the water. Just as Wan Qijin frowned, wanting to personally pull her ashore,
"Gurgle, gurgle, hoohoo!"
I'm leaving!
Tu Shan Lingxi's small figure was like a lightsaber. She swam in the spirit spring for a while, then came ashore from the other side and disappeared in a flash.
What she didn't notice was that as soon as she stepped into the spring, a dragon's aura clung to her. She ran so fast that the dragon's aura had no chance to escape.
In just those few steps she took, she showed faint signs of transforming into human form.
However, Tu Shan Lingxi didn't notice any of this. The little white ball of light disappeared without a trace.
Our Grand Preceptor didn't react at first, and by the time he tried to chase after it, the little fox had already flown away and completely disappeared from his sight.
"Xi'er!"
Having no other choice, Wan Qijin quickly formed a hand seal, roughly locating the little fox's aura and position.
He immediately flew after it, but unfortunately the little fox ran to too many and too varied places, making the tracking technique not very effective.
We haven't seen a single hair of the little fox all day!
"Ha, you've really made something of yourself, Tu Shan Ling Xi!"
...
The little fox had no idea where it had ended up; it only felt that there were people everywhere, and it was very lively.
"Aww~"
There's no doubt how lovable the little white fox is; the moment she appeared, she quickly drew a crowd to the street.
"Look, look! A little fox!"
Yin Shiniang was still young and had never seen a fox with such pure fur, and it was as white as snow. It was obviously a domesticated fox.
"Xiao Jiu, bring the little fox to me!"
Yin Jiuli, with her back to her, rolled her eyes. If foxes were so easy to catch, what would she be doing here? She would have been a fox trader long ago.
"Miss, I cannot do that."
"Hey! If you don't behave, I'll whip you to death!"
Yin Shiniang was deliberately stirring up trouble. She had long disliked Yin Jiuli, who always had a deadpan expression that was unlucky to look at. She picked up the whip she had prepared and lashed out at him.
"Ah, hiss—"
"Awoo!"
The little fox had sharp ears and heard the sound of something cutting through the air. Seeing that someone was bullying someone, it jumped onto Yin Shiniang's head and messed up her hair.
"Ahhh—"
Yin Shiniang wanted the fox, just to look at it and touch it, but she never expected the fox to jump directly onto her head. She was instantly panicked and started screaming.
"What are you all standing there for? Get her down here!"
"yes."
The guards from the northern desert only then realized what was happening and stepped forward one by one, trying to capture the little fox.
However, who is Tu Shan Lingxi? After rescuing the beaten servant, she turned and ran away as soon as she saw everyone approaching.
"Chase!"
"Wait, little sister, that little fox didn't scratch you, why are you chasing it? Let's go back quickly. Look at you, your hair is all messed up, it's an insult to the reputation of our Mobei."
Yin Liuli feigned concern while actually trying to dissuade the guards from leaving; otherwise, what if something happened to these frail women?
"you!"
"Ha, let's go!"
They went out full of enthusiasm, but returned disappointed.
However, nothing is more important than the talent show right now. No matter how much she hates it, nothing can go wrong at this critical moment. Yin Shiniang can only remember this grudge and wait for another day to take revenge.
The general election is gradually unfolding. Both of them are the daughters of the Marquis of the North, so they do not need to go through the primary election and can just wait to meet the emperor directly.
