She seemed to realize that she was too excited, swallowed, and calmed herself down before continuing, "Miss, could you please persuade the senior? He just lost his tail and was struck by lightning. Without spring water, his wounds cannot heal at all. If you soak together, the medicinal effect will be just right."
Although Lou Mu does not belong to Qingqiu, he is still a fox, so his absorption of the Jing family's holy water is much better than Tang Nian's. One use is enough.
Jingyao felt sorry for him, thinking that no one knew about his good intentions.
She wanted to tell Tang Nian just how much her senior had done for her.
Tang Nian stood there, stunned.
She had always known that the spring water of the Jing family in Qingqiu was called holy water. The foxes of Qingqiu could receive the spring water every year to increase their strength, while outsiders had to obtain the spring water by bartering.
Even the gods could only beg for a cup, which is why the Jing family's position in Qingqiu was unshakeable.
Of course, Tang Nian had only heard of the effects of the spring water, but had not experienced it herself. She thought that Lou Mu had gotten a few drops because of his good relationship with Jing Yao, and mixed them into the hot water to heal her wounds.
But Jingyao meant that all these springs were obtained by Lou Mu using his thousand years of cultivation.
Tang Nian's already wavering heart is now even more uncertain.
She turned around abruptly and brushed past Jing Yao. Jing Yao only heard a voice enter her ears.
"Jingyao, pour the spring water into the pond in the backyard. I'm going to find him."
The pool in the backyard is an artificial hot spring, a perfect place to relax.
"Yes, Miss!" Before the words were even finished, Jingyao hurriedly ran over to give the order.
She knew that as long as the young lady was willing to go, the senior would definitely come.
Upon arriving at the front hall, only Ming Huan was sitting and dozing off; the person Tang Nian was looking for was nowhere to be found.
Tang Nian stepped forward and patted Ming Huan on the shoulder. Ming Huan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang Nian with his still dazed eyes.
Where is Lou Mu?
"I'm going back inside." He shook his head vigorously and yawned. "Wait, Sister Tang, weren't you going to heal your wounds? Why are you looking for him?"
Tang Nian paused, then said, "It's nothing."
After speaking, he rushed out of the front hall without looking back, only to hear Ming Huan's shout behind him.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Tang! Don't you know there's a difference between men and women?!"
What do you mean by gender differences?
Tang Nian curled her lips. A fox and a snake, let alone being human, they weren't even the same species. What was there to compare?
I have no recollection of who was agonizing over this before.
Arriving at Lou Mu's door, Tang Nian pushed it open with a "bang," but Lou Mu was not seen inside. Instead, rustling sounds came from behind the screen.
Tang Nian strode behind the screen, only to be somewhat taken aback by the scene before her.
Lou Mu was wearing an undergarment, his hands gripping the two thin straps around his waist, as if he was about to untie them, revealing faint glimpses of his muscles beneath.
He stared in astonishment at the woman who appeared behind the screen; he never imagined that the person who should have been in the bathtub would be in his room.
Whether it was Tang Nian's imagination or not, she seemed to see that Lou Mu's ears were a little red.
Lou Mu also realized something was wrong, so he grabbed the coat from the screen and put it on.
He's a fox, he's a fox, he's a fox...
Tang Nian turned her head away, banishing all the jumbled thoughts from her mind. She closed her eyes, rushed forward, grabbed Lou Mu's hand, and started walking out.
"Tang Nian! What are you doing!"
"Never mind that, just come with me."
Ignoring Lou Mu's struggles, Tang Nian dragged him to the pond in the backyard. Jing Yao had been waiting there for a long time, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tang Nian bring Lou Mu to her.
However, looking at her senior's expression, Jing Yao was still a little worried.
"Jingyao, you can go now." Tang Nian waved her hand, signaling Jingyao to leave.
Jingyao tactfully withdrew, leaving the backyard to the two of them, while she counted the floor tiles at the corner of the corridor.
The thick fog obscured the view from the pool and prevented the two people from speaking.
As time went by, Jingyao lost interest.
This has been soaking for way too long.
She paced anxiously in the corridor until the moon was high in the sky, when she finally caught a glimpse of a figure.
She looked closely and saw it was Lou Mu.
Lou Mu changed into clean clothes, still damp with moisture. Whether from the heat or embarrassment, her face was flushed, but she kept a straight face and ignored Jing Yao's greeting, brushing past her without looking at her.
What's wrong?
Jingyao was still wondering when she saw another person emerge from the rising mist.
Tang Nian wrapped her arms around her waist, as if trying to hold her clothes tighter, and as she walked over quickly, she didn't forget to tell Jing Yao, "Jing Yao, you don't need to take care of me today. Go and get some rest."
Jing Yao responded immediately.
He stared at Tang Nian's retreating figure with a look of astonishment.
What exactly happened between these two?
She scratched her head, curious but not forgetting she had other things to do.
Thinking about it, the smile on her puzzled face vanished instantly.
Back in her room, Tang Nian threw herself onto the bed, burying her head in the blankets and rolling around in bed.
How could I do such a thing to Lou Mu!
How could anyone ask such a question!
No, I must leave here as soon as possible.
Just then, she suddenly heard footsteps in the distance. Tang Nian quickly blew out the candles and lay quietly on the bed.
My heart was pounding loudly with nervousness.
"See? I told you the young lady had already retired for the night."
"Who knows if you, you fox, are lying to me?"
"Say that again if you dare, and you won't have anywhere to sleep tonight!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong."
...
Jingyao and Minghuan were outside the door.
Even though Tang Nian couldn't see outside, she could tell what kind of expressions the two of them had right now.
The two did not linger in front of Tang Nian's house. Only after the sound gradually faded away did her heart calm down.
But in the quiet of the night, people always tend to overthink.
That's how Tang Nian is; whenever she calms down, the scene from just now keeps replaying in her mind.
Lou Mu was reluctant to go into the water, while Tang Nian kept provoking him in the pool.
"You're not afraid of water, are you? How about you turn back into a fox and I'll hold you while we soak?"
Perhaps the provocation had an effect, because Lou Mu actually turned back into a fox. Before he could even get into the water, Tang Nian pulled him into her arms.
Through her damp inner garment, Tang Nian couldn't resist petting the long, thick fox fur.
Lou Mu was also good-natured, letting Tang Nian hold him up and stroke his fur, his eyes squinting comfortably.
At that time, he had no idea how much Tang Nian coveted his big tail.
Even though he only released one tail, which was still submerged in water, Tang Nian couldn't resist reaching out his sinful hand and stroking it from the base to the tip.
Suddenly a bright light flashed, and the fox in her arms disappeared, replaced by a man.
She was lying on top of Lou Mu.
Through his inner garment soaked in water, Tang Nian seemed to be able to discern the texture of his body.
Tang Nian looked up and saw that Lou Mu's face seemed to have a slight blush.
No, no, I can't think about it anymore.
Tang Nian shook her head, forcing herself not to think about that embarrassing situation, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
