Chapter 209: The Fox Spirit (22)
After looking at herself for a while and feeling Gu Xuefeng's gaze, Wen Wan felt a sudden unease and quickly put the mirror away. "Gu Xuefeng, thank you."
Wen Wan's words were sincere, after all, she was genuine, and Gu Xuefeng was truly a good person.
"You're welcome."
Wen Wan subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Gu Xuefeng's arms and act coquettishly as usual, but she suddenly choked halfway through. She seemed to be a human now, not a fox. If she threw herself into his arms, wouldn't that be sexual harassment of the male lead?
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you."
Seeing this scene, the system was suddenly overcome with sadness, lamenting its host. "Once the host is defeated, there's probably no way to keep him alive. I need to make plans soon."
Soon, Gu Xuefeng had his disciples bring over several new sets of disciple robes. Wen Wan changed into the Xue Sect's disciple robes. Wen Wan quite liked the Xue Sect's disciple robes; they were white and ethereal, making her look like a fairy. Wen Wan happily twirled around, asking, "Doesn't it look good?"
Gu Xuefeng: "It looks good, but you need to tie your hair up. Come here to me."
Gu Xuefeng beckoned Wen Wan over, and Gu Xuefeng tied Wen Wan's hair into two buns, decorated with pink hair ribbons. "This hair ribbon is a defensive magical artifact that can protect you from harm if necessary."
Wen Wan was surprised; this soft hairband was actually a magical artifact?
Since she had become human, the bell that used to be around her neck could no longer be worn, so Gu Xuefeng helped her tie the bell to her wrist. "What was your original name?"
Wen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Wen Wan, you can call me A-Wan."
"A-Yuan? That sounds better than Xiao Bai. Now that you have cultivated into human form, remember not to kill indiscriminately and create evil karma, and do not expose your identity as a demon."
"Um."
Having become human, Wen Wan subconsciously tried to gnaw on a spirit stone during lunch, almost breaking her teeth, which made Gu Xuefeng laugh. Then Gu Xuefeng taught her how to absorb the spiritual power of the spirit stone.
"Now that you are human, you should act like one. Stop being so reckless and acting like a fox. There is a difference between men and women. Keep your distance from male disciples, and even with female disciples, be mindful of boundaries. Do you understand?"
"Can we have some barbecue? Gu Xuefeng, you grilled it yourself. This is my first barbecue since I turned back into a human."
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
After all that he said, did he just want to eat barbecue in the end?
It really is a fox.
Gu Xuefeng: "If you do well, I'll make it for you."
"So what counts as good performance?"
Gu Xuefeng took out the clan rules book that she had memorized before, "Memorize these rules well. I want to check. If you memorize them well, I'll take you out for barbecue."
Wen Yan: "..."
"Never mind then, I'll go find Si Xun to grill it for me." Wen Wan made a move to leave, but after taking seven steps, she couldn't take another step. "Gu Xuefeng, you used the Seven-Step Curse on me again, how could you do this?"
"After you recite the clan rules, I'll untie you."
Wen Wan: "..." What kind of devil is Gu Xuefeng? Why is he so insistent on making her memorize the text?
In the following days, Wen Wan was kept by Gu Xuefeng's side to memorize her lessons. After all, she was an excellent liberal arts student back then, so she naturally had her own skills in memorizing. Wen Wan began to memorize seriously, and in the end, she only took three days to memorize all the clan rules. After Gu Xuefeng checked and passed her, the seven-step curse was lifted. Then, on the same day, he took Wen Wan to the island by flying on his sword and roasted some meat for her.
...
After becoming an adult, Wen Wan went to find the female lead and began to develop feelings for her.
However, her appearance was different from that of the original fox demon. At first, the female lead did not recognize her at all. When she realized that she was the fox, Shen Qianyuan, who was standing next to her, immediately became vigilant and protected Lin Qingshui behind her.
Wen Yan: "..."
"I will not hurt you, you don't need to worry."
Lin Qingshui grabbed Shen Qianyuan, "Senior brother, you don't need to be so nervous. Xiaobai is different from before. If she tries to hurt me, the sect leader will punish her."
"Yes, yes, yes, ever since I followed the sect leader, I have been undergoing a complete transformation and starting anew. I will no longer do bad things and only want to cultivate with the sect leader."
After spending a few days with the female lead, the two quickly became best friends. Now that they were best friends, Wen Wan naturally had to get down to business. One day, while lying in bed with Lin Qingshui, Wen Wan asked, "Qingshui, do you have someone you like?"
Lin Qingshui blushed slightly. "No...no, why are you suddenly asking this question?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. You don't like Shen Qianyuan either. I heard he's your childhood sweetheart and the heir your father has chosen. Do you only have brotherly feelings for him?"
Wen Wan awaited the female lead's answer, but the female lead still replied, "I... I guess so, I don't know, but my senior brother is a very important member of my family, very important to me."
Wen Yan: "..."
It seems that the second male lead's rise to power, despite being a newcomer, is not without reason or logic. It is entirely possible, especially considering that Gu Xuefeng is still a nobody, and hasn't even taken on any disciples yet. This is truly worrying.
"And you? Do you have someone you like?" Lin Qingshui suddenly asked. Wen Wan shook her head. "No."
She lived in her own world, spending her days at home writing and rarely going out to socialize. During college, she was busy studying and didn't think about having a boyfriend. When she realized that she was still single in her twenties, she resigned herself to her fate.
"That's also possible."
"What do you mean? How can you say there isn't any, and then say there might be?"
Wen Wan was thinking that, according to the system, she had experienced several worlds and completed the tasks in those worlds, but she had no memory of them. So, she really wasn't sure if she had met anyone she liked in those worlds.
There should be, right?
It would be such a failure if she remained single throughout so many worlds.
So I asked the system, "In the past few worlds, did I have anyone I liked? Did I ever have a romantic relationship?"
system:【……】
What do you think? You still have the nerve to ask? It doesn't want to answer that question at all.
No, absolutely not.
"Really? There was never any development? Are you sure?"
No, absolutely not. I swear on my life, you've never liked anyone.
Wen Yan: "..."
Well, it seems she's destined to be single forever; no one will like someone as boring as her.
"How has the sect leader treated you?"
Wen Wan: "Very good. Gu Xuefeng is very kind, and he is also very handsome. His cultivation level is also very high, and his handwriting is also very beautiful. He is simply the most outstanding person I have ever met. Even though he knew that I was a demon, he still let me go and allowed me to cultivate into a human. He is simply an unparalleled good man."
Wen Wan quickly switched to praising Gu Xuefeng, trying to make the female lead have a better impression of the male lead.
"It seems you really like the sect leader, Xiaobai."
"Yes, he is the most perfect person I have ever met. He also values your talent. You will definitely have more contact in the future, and you will definitely be able to see Gu Xuefeng's strengths then."
Lin Qingshui looked at Wen Wan with a smile.
It seems that Xiaobai has fallen for the sect leader. No wonder she suddenly asked her if she had someone she liked. But thinking of that high and mighty sect leader who cultivates the ruthless path, if Xiaobai really likes him, she might be heartbroken in the future. Thinking of this, Lin Qingshui looked at Wen Wan with some worry.
Wen Yan: "???"
...
The next morning, Wen Wan slept in late and didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. Lin Qingshui was long gone. After all, these disciples who cultivated immortality were all incredibly diligent, getting up to cultivate before dawn every day.
Wen Wan, with her hair down, went to find Gu Xuefeng. Gu Xuefeng was reading a book and didn't even look up when he saw her. "Did you cultivate today?"
Wen Wan: "No rush, Gu Xuefeng, you tie my hair first." She handed the hairband to Gu Xuefeng and then squatted down on her own.
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
She gripped the hairband tightly. "What do you take me for? You want me to serve you?"
"Gu Xuefeng, I can't do it. Besides, you served me when I was a fox, didn't you? Why don't I turn back?" Wen Wan grabbed Gu Xuefeng's sleeve. Gu Xuefeng was a little helpless. "You're so delicate. If you're lazy and don't cultivate again, I'll punish you."
As for what the punishment would be, Wen Wan knew without Gu Xuefeng saying it; it was nothing more than the usual things: the Seven-Step Curse, facing the wall in repentance, and being starved.
Gu Xuefeng combed her hair, his fingers tracing through her hair and rubbing her scalp, which felt extremely comfortable. Wen Wan lay on Gu Xuefeng's lap, playing with the bell in her hand, which jingled happily.
"Gu Xuefeng, I have a question for you."
Without waiting for Gu Xuefeng's answer, Wen Wan continued to ask, "I am a demon, but you won't kill me now. But if I do something wrong in the future, will you kill me without mercy?"
Gu Xuefeng: "Yes."
Wen Yan: "..."
Aren't you going to hesitate at all?
"Aren't you afraid you've wronged me?"
Gu Xuefeng: "No."
Soon, Wen Wan's hair was combed, and Gu Xuefeng carefully tied the hairband. Looking at Wen Wan with her head down beside her, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Don't worry, if that day really comes, I will find out the truth and won't wrong you."
"Really? You really don't know how to talk."
"Um?"
"Don't say that to someone you like in the future. When someone asks this question, they want to hear you say that no matter what she does, you will stand by her side. Otherwise, you will definitely drive her away."
Gu Xuefeng: "..." What on earth is this fox thinking about all day long?
A sharp tap landed on Wen Wan's forehead. "You think too much. How can you treat everyone equally, distinguishing between good and evil, right and wrong?"
Soon, Wen Wan's appearance became known to the disciples, but Xiao Bai disappeared.
Gu Xuefeng didn't hide it, and soon all the disciples knew that the sect leader's fox had actually obtained a fortuitous encounter and transformed into a beautiful girl named Wen Wan, who was quite clever and mischievous.
Soon the Seventh Elder arrived. At that time, Wen Wan was forced to read books next to Gu Xuefeng. Ever since she had said those words to Gu Xuefeng last time, Gu Xuefeng had been forcing her to read books, wanting her to understand the difference between good and evil, and the distinction between right and wrong, so that she would not do anything against the righteous path in the future.
She was exhausted and didn't want to watch anymore. She was being cute and pleading to go out and play, saying, "Gu Xuefeng, I want to go out, I'm about to burst."
"No."
"You're exploiting me with your power, I'm tired."
"You've only held out for an hour."
"I'm tired, and my head hurts."
When the Seventh Elder entered, he saw the woman, who was actually a fox, clinging to the sect leader's sleeve in an intimate manner.
Seventh Elder: "..." What's going on here?
Gu Xuefeng coughed twice and glanced at Wen Wan. Wen Wan consciously went to the side to continue reading, but she couldn't concentrate on anything. Instead, she was concerned about what the Seventh Elder had come for.
