"Awooooo—"
Even though Wan Qijin hadn't done anything to her yet, his relentless pressure was enough to terrify the little fox.
Tu Shan Lingxi screamed in fear, her cries particularly shrill, as if she had been slaughtered, which was quite amusing to watch.
Even our Grand Preceptor was startled by her shrill scream and took a step back. He paused for a moment, feeling slightly relieved.
As he drew closer, his gloomy aura gradually dissipated, and by the time he reached the little fox, he no longer possessed that terrifying presence.
A hint of annoyance flashed in the Grand Preceptor's eyes; he himself felt that he had been too spineless.
Why do I always soften my heart whenever the little fox looks pitiful? That's not good.
What if, because of her soft heart, the little fox felt it was okay to be close to others and was easily seduced...
The thought of this possibility made Wan Qijin instantly lose his composure. He couldn't bear the consequences. No, he had to be tough.
"Tu Shan Ling Xi!"
Wan Qijin pretended to be cold-hearted, looking extremely angry. His imposing aura frightened the little fox, who howled and its little paws twitched as if it had fallen and hurt itself.
"Awooooo~"
Wan Qijin nervously checked her over and over, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found no injuries. Then he said seriously.
"Xi'er, I know you're faking it, but I don't mind. I only have one request: you can't have any contact with those people, okay?"
The little fox knew that its screaming trick wouldn't work, so it rolled its round fox eyes around. As for Wan Qijin's "request," the little fox didn't hear a single word.
Suddenly, Tu Shan Lingxi realized that she could try to appease and beg for mercy.
Thinking this, she climbed out of the warm jade bed and walked shakily toward Wan Qijin, revealing a sweet smile.
"Huh?"
Then, Tu Shan Lingxi remembered her three cute tricks: rubbing, sticking, and licking.
She bit his sleeve with her little mouth, tugged at it, and pulled it above her body. She then obediently nestled under his large hand.
"Awoo~"
Although Wan Qijin was still bothered by it, he couldn't help but pet the little fox because she was so well-behaved, stroking her fur with his large hand again and again.
Forget it, it's all Yi Changfeng's fault. She seduced her little fox first. Xi'er is still too young and doesn't know any better. It's normal for her to be tempted.
"I'll let her off this time," Wan Qijin thought silently, but her hands didn't stop moving as she stroked her fur again and again.
"You know you were wrong?"
Even though the little fox had taken the initiative to make peace, Wan Qijin was still somewhat annoyed, as his little fox couldn't take the initiative to ask someone else for a hug.
Although Wan Qijin didn't say anything else, his voice carried a hint of lingering anger.
"You're not allowed to fool around with other men, not even vixens. In short, the Imperial Preceptor's residence is your home, understand?"
Looking into the little fox's innocent and clueless eyes, the Grand Preceptor recalled the scene he had just witnessed and felt a pang of sadness—no, a deep sadness.
He suspected that the little fox hadn't heard a single word he said.
"Aww~"
Please let me go.
Tu Shan Lingxi really didn't listen. Not only that, she was only thinking about food. She didn't even get a bite of the roasted lamb leg, which was really inexcusable.
"Awoo awoo~"
Eat something! Eat lamb leg!
This time, Tu Shan Lingxi did not feel any pressure from Wan Qijin. She felt that he had let her go, so she prepared to sneak away from his large hand.
The little fox wagged its big tail quickly, but its small steps were very careful, inching its way out little by little, just as it was about to completely break away from Wan Qijin—
"Little fox, trying to run away?"
Wan Qijin grabbed the little fox by the scruff of her neck and pulled her in front of him. A flash of anger crossed his eyes, and something churned within his purple pupils.
He hadn't done anything, but just from his tone of voice, the little fox's hair stood on end and it felt like its skin was turning black.
"Still don't realize you're wrong?"
Wan Qijin frightened the little fox so much that it trembled and started whining pitifully, but it didn't sound very convinced.
"Awoo awoo awoo~"
I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong.
The little fox was indignant. It was just expressing friendliness to others, so why was the Grand Preceptor meddling so much? How annoying!
Taking advantage of his ignorance of fox language, Tu Shan Lingxi spoke with great arrogance, practically displaying her "rebellious" nature on her face.
"Awoo!"
Steward!
The little fox secretly cursed Wan Qijin. She thought she had spoken very subtly and that the Grand Preceptor would not notice at all. Unfortunately, she had overestimated her ability to hide her true intentions.
Tu Shan Lingxi was originally just a simple little demon. In her previous life, she didn't spend much time in the human world, as she spent most of her time cultivating.
He didn't stay a few years after coming down the mountain before he was captured by that damned Yin Yi, killed and bled to death, and tortured to death. It was a truly tragic death.
But the poor little fox was just too naive; he wore his heart on his sleeve and couldn't hide a single thought.
Therefore, Tu Shan Lingxi overestimated herself and underestimated the wise and powerful Imperial Preceptor, allowing him to successfully seize a handle against her.
"Is Xi'er secretly cursing me?"
The Grand Preceptor, seeing the evasive look in the little fox's eyes, understood perfectly well that the little fellow was talking behind his back!
His purple eyes grew even darker, as if shrouded in a black mist, and his once godlike face was now terrifyingly gloomy.
This was the first time Wan Qijin had ever been so angry. He had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, and mastering hand seals and formations was no problem for him. This was the first time he had ever had such a headache.
This disobedient little fox is driving him crazy.
"Good, good, you've really gotten bold!"
"Awoo!"
snort!
The little fox remained stubborn, responding to every word he spoke, expressing all his dissatisfaction and leaving Wan Qijin speechless with anger.
"Tu Shan Ling Xi!"
This time, he was truly serious, pondering how to teach her a lesson she would never forget. As he got angry, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
Since the little fox can't communicate with me, I should help her transform into human form as soon as possible, so that we won't have to worry about not being able to communicate.
Originally, I was worried that she would get tired, so I only wanted her to cultivate for two hours. It takes five years of cultivation to become an adult. From now on, let her cultivate for eight hours every day.
"Huh?"
Tu Shan Lingxi was unaware that her future path of cultivation would be fraught with thorns, and that a certain big bad wolf was already preparing to deal with her.
She was four years ahead of her original time of transformation, and was caught by the Imperial Preceptor much earlier and given a severe beating!
Where I tidied it up, uh, I can't say...
