He didn't believe in fate, but with his level of cultivation, he could sense the impermanence of life that people talked about.
That's why he wanted to keep Xu Nian firmly in his grasp and not give her any chance to leave him.
After staring at the woman's peaceful sleeping face for a long time, Mo Xuanfeng closed his eyes, suppressed all his negative emotions, and then embraced her as she drifted off to sleep.
the next day.
Xu Nian was awakened by the heat. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw nine fluffy tails all over her body, covering her completely, leaving only her head sticking out.
No wonder I was sweating so much in my dreams; it turns out I was covered in a layer of live fur.
The person beside her probably realized she was awake, and the nine tails began to retract.
Mo Xuanfeng lazily opened his eyes, and the next moment he pulled Xu Nian into his arms. He rubbed his chin against the top of her head and said, "Niannian, sleep with me a little longer."
"Mo Xuanfeng, we still have to see our master and attend morning classes today," Xu Nian said helplessly, her lips pressed into a straight line.
"See Master?" Mo Xuanfeng's mind, filled with romantic thoughts, paused.
He didn't want to see the old man; he just wanted to eat meat.
Finally, there's no Yin Mengmeng around, and nothing else to bother them, so why can't they just eat meat to their heart's content?
"Do we really have to go? Do you Taoists have such a rule?" Mo Xuanfeng didn't want to let go, so he hooked his arm around Xu Nian and kissed her, using his seductive charm to entangle her.
"Stop messing around. You can do whatever you want tonight, but not today." Xu Nian pinched a fox's tail that was itching to pounce.
"Alright!" Mo Xuanfeng lowered his tail and nuzzled against him for a while before letting him go.
Seeing Xu Nian put on the gray Taoist robe again, Mo Xuanfeng's body flashed with light, and he also changed into a gray long robe to match.
The two went hand in hand to see Xu Nian's master, then paid homage to the ancestral master, and then joined the others in doing morning prayers.
Practicing Tai Chi in the early morning sun.
Xu Nian noticed Yin Mengmeng doing morning lessons with her fifth senior brother. She smiled at the two of them and then quietly pulled Mo Xuanfeng behind the group.
"Niannian, when do you think we'll be able to attend their wedding?" Mo Xuanfeng whispered to Xu Nian.
He believed that among all these people, no one would have liked to see Yin Mengmeng get married more than him.
Once she gets married and has her own family, she will never come back to take away his love.
"That depends on what Yin Mengmeng and Fifth Senior Brother want to do. Don't interfere in their affairs, understand?" Xu Nian tugged at Mo Xuanfeng's sleeve.
"Okay, I won't interfere." Mo Xuanfeng's little scheme was seen through, and his flickering eyes instantly quieted down.
Instead of paying attention to the interaction between the two, she followed Xu Nian and attended the morning class seriously.
After their morning exercise, everyone went to the kitchen for breakfast, while Mo Xuanfeng pulled Xu Nian back to their room.
As the door slammed shut, Xu Nian took a few steps back warily and asked, "Mo Xuanfeng, what are you planning to do now?"
“Niannian, didn’t I say last night that I would cut off a tail for you? Let’s start now!” Mo Xuanfeng said, his nine tails swaying behind him. Then, to Xu Nian’s astonishment, he used his claws to cut off his own tail.
When the tail reached Xu Nian's hands, it was still trembling slightly, and bright red blood was still dripping from the severed tail.
Xu Nian felt like she wasn't holding a tail, but a hot potato. She was so shocked that she opened her mouth several times but couldn't make a sound.
"Mo Xuanfeng, I... I was just saying it, I didn't mean to really cut off your tail!" Xu Nian said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Niannian, I wasn't just saying that." Mo Xuanfeng smiled, and if it weren't for the pain between his brows, Xu Nian would have thought that his tail hadn't hurt at all.
"Mo Xuanfeng, can you put your tail back on?" Xu Nian's hands trembled slightly as she tried to return the tail to Mo Xuanfeng.
"Niannian, the tail can't be reattached, sigh! Don't cry, my ninth tail will grow back later." Mo Xuanfeng quickly explained the purpose of his tail to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian certainly knew the purpose of Mo Xuanfeng's tail; the nine tails represented his peak nine-tailed strength.
Now that he has severed one of his tails, his power level has plummeted, leaving him with only the strength of an eight-tailed man.
He may seem fine, but he is actually suffering from the pain of losing his tail all the time.
"I'm sorry, I won't say I'm going to cut off your tail again," Xu Nian said guiltily.
"But I can't control myself, and I might make Nian Nian hate me again someday." Mo Xuanfeng's fox-like eyes drooped, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"It's okay, I don't actually dislike it." After Xu Nian finished speaking, her usually stern and serious face instantly turned bright red.
Good heavens! What is she saying?!
How could she admit to something like that?
"It's good that Nian Nian doesn't dislike me." Mo Xuanfeng acted as if he hadn't heard, only relieved that Xu Nian didn't dislike him.
Seeing that Mo Xuanfeng's face showed no unusual expression, Xu Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Does your tail still hurt?"
"It hurts, Niannian, can you hug me?" Mo Xuanfeng frowned, his appearance of enduring pain really made Xu Nian feel sorry for him.
He was embraced by her as he wished.
"I really owe you something," Xu Nian sighed.
Mo Xuanfeng stiffened for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
Niannian saw through his ruse, but she was willing to play along.
It seems that he holds an increasingly important place in her heart.
She also said she didn't dislike his tail, which meant he could use it without restraint in the future.
Tsk! It's not so good to be at Baiyun Temple; I can't linger with Niannian for too long.
If only I could bring Niannian back to his Fox Mountain to live for a while.
