The next morning.
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
There was still a chill in the air in the early morning.
Even though the room was warm, the playful cold wind still managed to sneak in through the cracks in the window, causing the woman on the warm jade bed to keep snuggling into the man's arms.
"Cold~"
The woman mumbled softly, her soft, boneless hands clinging to the man's waist, her head nuzzling against his chest.
As expected, the Grand Preceptor was awakened by the noise. He opened his eyes slightly, his thick, long eyelashes fluttering gently, like a butterfly in flight.
He opened his eyes with a "whoosh," a faint light flickering in his purple eyes, before quickly returning to calm.
Wan Qijin looked down at the woman in his arms, and his expression immediately softened, his eyes revealing joy, as if he had found the love of his life.
He quickly noticed that the little fox was complaining of being cold. Finding that the room was actually quite warm, he glanced at the bed and saw the brocade quilt that had been kicked aside, and chuckled softly.
"The little fox is very naughty."
Wan Qijin gently kissed Tu Shanlingxi's cheek, carefully making sure not to wake her, and pulled the blanket over her.
After doing all this, Wan Qijin looked at the little woman in his arms. Her long black hair was casually scattered, and her fair, jade-like skin shone with luster.
Tu Shan Lingxi slept very soundly this time. Her furrowed brows relaxed, and her cheeks became rosy, looking fragrant and soft, making one want to take a bite.
Wan Qijin liked it more and more as he looked at it, and his heart began to pound. His eyes were very gentle, and his love seemed to be overflowing.
After waiting for so long, the little fox has finally come home.
After an unknown amount of time, the little fox finally slept enough and felt a burning gaze upon her.
Perhaps because it was asleep and its spiritual energy was somewhat unstable, the little fox's ears actually reverted to their original form, quietly perched on its little head.
Wan Qijin was just looking at her, unwilling to look away, afraid that the person he had finally won over would run away.
But to his surprise, he witnessed such a miraculous scene that he was speechless!
The little fox was already stunningly beautiful, and with those fluffy white ears, she was even more ethereal, captivating Wan Qijin's heart.
At this moment, the Grand Preceptor was like a child who had never seen the world before. He dared not move, held his breath, and stared intently at the little fox in front of him.
He reached out and tentatively touched the little fox's ear, but even though it was just a light touch, the little fox sensitively dodged away.
"snort!"
Even without opening her eyes, Tu Shan Lingxi, who was already slightly awake, gave a spoiled hum and her ears twitched uncomfortably.
This made Wan Qijin even more curious, and he became visibly excited, unable to help but think, "Such a sensitive topic..."
"Xi'er, are you awake?"
He leaned close to Xi'er's ear and spoke in his most magnetic voice, successfully provoking the little fox's disgust. He successfully saw the little fox quietly hide to the side again.
Hehe~
The man chuckled, his eyes brimming with amusement, then, without giving the girl a chance to escape, he gently placed a hot kiss on her cheek.
"Hmm—"
Tu Shan Lingxi couldn't dodge in time, and even the fluffy ears on her head trembled, making her exceptionally cute.
She finally opened her bright eyes, but it was too late. Before she could speak, Wan Qijin swallowed her breath, his love surging and overflowing with spring-like passion.
...
For several days in a row, the little fox hadn't seen the sun. Her backache and pain were no use, because the Grand Preceptor's healing techniques were truly effective.
Tu Shan Lingxi lay quietly in Wan Qijin's arms. Her serene and fair face still had faint tear stains, and her eyes were red at the corners, making her look quite alluring.
The little fox seemed very tired; her small chest rose and fell rhythmically, still bearing the marks left by Wan Qijin during their passionate moments, creating an ambiguous impression.
After an unknown amount of time, the Grand Preceptor opened his eyes first. Upon feeling the weight in his arms, he didn't dare to move an inch.
He turned his head to look at the woman in his arms. The girl was sleeping soundly, and her exquisite face still made his heart flutter every time he saw it.
We finally managed to bring this little fox home.
A wave of sweetness washed over the Grand Preceptor, and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the little fox's cheek.
If he weren't afraid of waking the little fox, he would definitely hold her tightly in his arms and give her a good kiss!
These past few days have indeed been tiring for her, but who told the little fox to transform into human form ahead of schedule? This means that the little fox was meant to be hers.
That wisp of dragon energy really helped him a lot; if it weren't for the disordered spiritual energy, he might not have had this opportunity.
"Hmm~"
Tu Shan Lingxi felt a large dog rubbing against her face. A dog? Where would a dog come from in the Imperial Preceptor's residence?
She's still sleepy, and I'll see who dares to disturb her peaceful slumber!
"Who is it—Master!"
The conversation took a sudden turn midway through, and the little fox was initially confused, but then memories from the spiritual spring slowly flooded back. Wasn't this the Grand Preceptor she respected?
Moreover, the Imperial Preceptor has even accepted me as a disciple; am I betraying my master and ancestors?
"Master, who is Xi'er calling Master? Call me Jin, or call me husband and good man."
"What?"
The little fox knew that terms like "good man" and "husband" were used by women in common society to refer to their husbands. Did she know this in her previous life? What does the Imperial Preceptor mean by this?
Tu Shan Lingxi's eyes were as clear as a bronze mirror, reflecting Wan Qijin's image clearly, causing Wan Qijin to catch his breath and freeze in place.
The little fox thought her questioning had worked, so she didn't care about anything else and tried to run away after putting on the blanket.
Forgive the little fox for its animalistic nature; it lacks the shamelessness of humans. In the little fox's eyes, it had offended its master these past few days, so it had to go into hiding.
In fact, Tu Shan Lingxi's distorted ideas were formed in her previous life.
In her previous life, after leaving the Imperial Preceptor's mansion, she met a young swordsman who said that his master was like a father to her, imparting knowledge and teaching her.
This led the little fox to associate it with himself, and he inexplicably concluded that the Grand Preceptor was his master. In this life, he even became his disciple, which further reinforced this impression.
Her current situation is nothing short of betraying her master and ancestors; she doesn't consider Wan Qijin her partner at all, and when something unexpected happens, she tries to run away to avoid disaster.
"Why are you running? Aren't you even dressed?"
Fortunately, the Grand Preceptor had anticipated this; he knew this little fox wasn't honest and had been on guard all along.
So, just as the little fox tried to run away, it was caught by the Imperial Advisor and thrown heavily into Wan Qijin's arms.
The blanket was pulled back, revealing specks of red plum blossoms to the air; the little fox was now completely exposed…
