Even though it was injured, the black fox remained silent, silently waving its claws at Xiao Xuan's fur.
The foxes were so engrossed in their fight that they lost track of time, like mortal enemies. Before long, white and black fur flew everywhere, and black and white claws crossed in front of Shen Wangshu.
Although Xiao Xuan was now at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, he seemed to be evenly matched with the black fox. They only managed to scratch each other with minor wounds, but neither could really do anything. Shen Wangshu rested his chin on his hand, looking at the two foxes. He glanced at his own Xiao Xuan, then at the black fox that could only fight against the white fox at the half-step Nascent Soul stage. He narrowed his eyes, casually flicked his finger, and a beam of spiritual light shot towards the black fox.
The black fox ignored the spiritual light, seemingly preferring to suffer a sliver of light from Shen Wangshu rather than not scratch a piece of flesh off the white fox.
A faint smugness appeared in the white fox's crimson eyes, and it let out a boastful cry.
"Junior Sister, please calm down." Just as the spiritual light was about to strike the black fox, Daoist Xiwu quickly deflected the attack and smiled slightly at Shen Wangshu.
"Senior brother, that fox has quite a temper," Shen Wangshu said calmly.
She was expressionless, clearly somewhat displeased.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't heartbroken to see his beloved spirit beast injured. Daoist Xiwu was also panting with heartache. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's usually very cute, but today it went a bit too far. Perhaps..."
He glanced hesitantly at the two foxes still fighting, and said tentatively, "Perhaps it's because..." Why? Could it be that the black fox was jealous of Xiao Xuan's white fur? But Daoist Xiwu thought the black fur was extremely cute, deep and elegant, low-key and profound, like the mysterious night. There was truly no fox as beautiful as this in the entire cultivation world.
"Perhaps it's because..." Shen Wangshu chuckled and said slowly, "...that a king doesn't meet a king?"
Her laughter was meaningful, and the two foxes, who were standing upright and fighting with their little paws, froze at the same time.
The furry paws hovered in mid-air; both the black and white foxes held their breath, their tails wagging nervously.
The black fox became more wary, lowered its two paws, and slowly moved its rear end closer to Daoist Xiwu's hand.
Although it seemed unfriendly to Daoist Xiwu, in this moment of wariness, it rationally snuggled into the gentle young man's arms, curling its tail to hold up the young man's hand, its small, dark body hiding inside, as if doing so could avoid Shen Wangshu's icy gaze. Daoist Xiwu chuckled and sighed, spiritual light appearing in his palm, enveloping the dark, furry ball beneath him.
Before long, the black fox's external wounds had almost healed.
The black fox snorted coldly, and with a shove of a elixir into its mouth.
Shen Wangshu looked at it with interest.
"Not fighting anymore?" she asked, looking down at Xiao Xuan, who was listlessly rubbing against her with his tail drooping.
The fluffy little thing licked her fingers ingratiatingly, feigning innocence.
It was something it was used to doing, but to the black fox, it made its eyes widen in surprise.
It leaped out with all its might and screamed loudly at Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan completely ignored it, and went straight up to rub against Shen Wangshu's wrist. When she saw that Shen Wangshu was looking at her with her eyes narrowed, Xiao Xuan shamelessly snuggled into her arms.
It nestled happily into Shen Wangshu's arms, looked down at the shallow wounds on its body, and immediately lifted itself up, whimpering pitifully at Shen Wangshu. Its voice was extremely pathetic, and it even whimpered softly. Shen Wangshu knew that it was pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy, but he still helplessly crushed a high-grade spirit pill and sprinkled it on its body, then used the ice silkworm handkerchief next to him to wipe the bloodstains off the fox.
The snow-white fox, beaming with pride, swung its fluffy tail and raised its head with a satisfied air.
The black fox stared at it with disbelief, then roared at it almost with hatred, as if it really wanted to bite it to death.
Xiao Xuan ignored him, turned around and rubbed against Shen Wangshu's face, her little body arching back and forth.
Xi Wu Daojun was so envious he almost fainted. Looking at the obedient, cute, and affectionate white fox, he looked down at the irritable black fox in front of him and sighed sadly.
"These two kids don't seem to get along." He had thought he could find a playmate for his black fox, since they were both foxes, right? He didn't expect that foxes can't be put together. Judging from the way these two furballs acted, they would definitely perish together if left unattended outside.
Xi Wu Daojun swiftly opened the peach blossom folding fan in his hand and waved it. Faint peach blossom phantoms scattered in front of him, turning into flower shadows that enveloped the black fox. He was clearly very worried that his fox was hurt. He continued to say to Shen Wangshu, "Your Xiao Xuan is so big, how come he still bullies my Xiao Hei?"
Since it's a black fox, let's call it Little Black.
Xi Wu Daojun thinks this name is quite good.
"Ridiculous, it was clearly the one that attacked first." Shen Wangshu wiped the little Xuan in her arms clean and immediately sneered.
"Then we should give way a little."
"How do we let it scratch us?"
"Just avoid it."
"They come to bully us, and we try to avoid them? Just because a black fox is dark-skinned doesn't mean she can be domineering!"
"So what if you're dark-skinned? Dark skin is beautiful!"
"It looks like a half-burnt charcoal, how is it beautiful? How dare it show its face in front of my Xiao Xuan? Doesn't it even look in the mirror?" Shen Wangshu coldly stroked the fox that was nodding repeatedly in her arms, looked at the snarling black fox, and said arrogantly, "It's extremely ugly. My A Xuan is disciplining it, that's giving it plastic surgery!"
