It was getting late.
The little fox looked at her little den, the glittering gold was so beautiful. She ran around excitedly, and when she got tired, she fell asleep inside.
Yin Changling had originally planned to wait for her to come over and act cute, but unexpectedly, the little one fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and even started snoring.
He shook his head helplessly. It was getting late, and he was going to sleep after his bath.
However, Yin Changling tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, feeling that something was wrong.
Without disturbing anyone, he simply put on his robe and, as if drawn by souls, unconsciously walked to Tu Shan Ling Xi's side.
By the candlelight, Yin Changling looked at the sleeping little fox. He couldn't see with his naked eye that the dragon energy was slowly transforming into a white light, which was being absorbed by the little fox.
Tu Shan Lingxi had been cultivating on the mountain for a hundred days, and her spiritual energy was abundant. She no longer needed to absorb spiritual energy; she only needed to consolidate her cultivation for a period of time to stabilize it.
But now, she is beside Yin Changling, and dragon energy is constantly pouring into her, as if she has taken a powerful tonic.
As a result, the little fox slept even more soundly.
After all, although she used to cultivate by the spiritual spring, she didn't actually absorb much spiritual energy. Now, with so much spiritual energy suddenly coming in, she was almost intoxicated by it.
It's like being intoxicated by oxygen in the modern world. If you went from a high plateau to an oxygen-rich plain, who wouldn't sleep soundly for days on end?
Similarly, the little fox is the same.
Yin Changling looked at it for a while, a relieved smile on his face. He thought that since he couldn't sleep at night, he might as well secretly move the little fox onto the bed and let it sleep with him.
He acted immediately, his movements swift and decisive, without a moment's hesitation. Before long, the little fox appeared on his dragon bed.
The human and the fox fell asleep in each other's arms...
After an unknown amount of time, Yin Changling felt a burning heat in his arms, like a blazing furnace, which instantly woke him up as he was already feeling hot.
However, what happened next completely shocked him!
...
In the flickering candlelight, Yin Changling was surprised to see an absolutely stunning beauty!
She was so beautiful that his breath caught in his throat, as if he were in a dream. He dared not breathe, afraid of scaring away the fairy before him.
The woman before him had the fairest skin in the world, so fair it almost glowed. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, and even her collarbones were clearly visible. She was the epitome of ice-like skin and jade-like bones.
The woman's long, black hair was spread all over the bed. She was only wearing a thin white dress. The extreme contrast of black and white gave him an extreme impact.
Beneath her full, smooth forehead were a pair of arched eyebrows that looked as if they had been carefully drawn, and her long, curled eyelashes, like butterfly wings, trembled slightly, as if she were about to wake up at any moment.
The woman's face was flushed, and she had some fine sweat on her forehead. Her beautiful face was almost scrunched up, making her look quite pitiful.
That cherry-red little mouth seemed to be saying something. Yin Changling leaned closer to listen, and it seemed she was saying something.
"It's hot, so hot..."
Her aggrieved voice sounded like she was about to cry. Even if it were a piece of wood, let alone Yin Changling, she would have to be split into a fan to fan herself.
Yin Changling seemed to wake from a dream, and quickly got out of bed. He found a jade fan that was always kept in the palace and carefully fanned Tu Shan Lingxi.
But this was completely useless.
More and more beads of sweat gathered on the woman's forehead, and her skin even turned a faint pink. Seeing that the temperature was rising, Yin Changling hurriedly asked the palace servants to fetch ice!
"Someone, someone, go and bring some ice, and replace the charcoal brazier. Hurry up, or I'll chop off your heads."
After giving his instructions, he opened all the windows in the hall, letting the biting winter wind blow in.
Before long, a dozen palace servants carried in ice basins and arranged them in an orderly manner. They came in several more times after the emperor did not give an order to stop.
Only when the entire palace was filled with ice basins and the cold wind relentlessly poured in, turning the palace into an ice cave, did Yin Changling finally dismiss everyone.
To Yin Changling's disappointment, the girl in his arms continued to complain of the heat, with heat emanating from her body incessantly, which was quite alarming.
The woman was radiating heat that showed no signs of abating, and her face grew increasingly red, her hair soaked with sweat and plastered to her forehead.
She didn't look disheveled; instead, she possessed a kind of messy beauty, fragile and endearing.
Yin Changling felt a pang of heartache, wishing he could take the woman's place and suffer such pain.
Just as he was at a loss, a beam of white light shone from the window toward Yin Changling, and he quickly fainted on the dragon bed, lost consciousness, and fell into darkness.
"hiss--"
...
Outside the window, a tall figure stood in the moonlight. He was dressed in white with white hair, and although his handsome face, which resembled that of a god, was expressionless, his aura was truly imposing.
The Imperial Advisor has been searching for the little fox all day. He has followed her scent to every place she has been, but he still can't find her.
The palace was protected by dragon energy, so he couldn't catch up to it at all. In the end, he found it by divination.
Upon arrival, they saw the little fox transformed into human form, being held in Yin Changling's arms, looking like a perfect couple.
The Imperial Advisor lost his composure; jealousy burned like a raging fire, causing him to lose all reason.
No, I can't let Yin Changling steal my little fox away.
His body had already reacted first; he unleashed a beam of white light, successfully causing Yin Changling to faint.
Wan Qijin felt a sharp pain in his chest, but fortunately it was still bearable. The Imperial Preceptor's lineage was not allowed to attack the Emperor; he had been harmed by the backlash of the dragon's energy.
But so what? He's not afraid of anything compared to losing the little fox!
Wan Qijin squinted and surveyed the situation inside the hall. With a flick of his sleeve, he restored everything to its original state, making it completely different from before.
After doing all this, he looked at the woman being protected in Yin Changling's arms. That big hand was actually holding the little fox tightly. A layer of killing intent flashed in Wan Qijin's purple eyes.
The moment he had this thought, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and then vomited a mouthful of blood.
Wan Qijin wiped the corner of her lips, used a cleansing spell to wipe away the bloodstains, and endured the pain of the backlash to cast an amnesia spell on Yin Changling, making him forget everything that happened today.
After doing all this, he carefully snatched the little fox and used his last bit of spiritual power to teleport the two of them to the spiritual spring in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.
Seeing the little fox looking uncomfortable in his arms, Wan Qijin touched her little face tenderly.
"Xi'er, just bear with it, it'll be fine when we get back."
No one could take the little fox away from him, not even an emperor!
