Chapter 193: Three Chickens on a Full Moon Day
After walking away from the stone house for a while, we arrived at a village full of low thatched houses.
These thatched houses are only waist-high, semi-circular in shape, and lie on the ground like a pile of scattered milk coffee-flavored cakes. Some are decorated with garlands on top, and some are covered with colorful leaves. They are full of wild charm, as if taking you into a fairy tale world.
"Aunt Zijun!"
In the distance, a fat fox barked and ran a few steps towards the crowd.
After seeing Zhao Qing and the others, he greeted them with surprise: "It's Fellow Daoist Tu Meng Jin!"
When the Jade Emperor heard the fat fox calling Zhao Qing like that, he immediately revealed a strange expression. In the team channel's microphone, he laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe: "What the hell is this 'Tu Meng Jin Daoyou'? Haha, it's too funny, hahahaha——"
Even Shen Yun couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Qing ignored the Jade Emperor's ridicule and greeted him enthusiastically. She even rubbed the fat fox's head with her hand and said, "Yue Niang, long time no see!"
The fat fox didn't understand that this was a polite way of greeting. With his ears drooping back, he shouted in a rather aggrieved tone, "Yes, yes! You haven't been here for a long time!"
"Here they are!" Zhao Qing coaxed, pointing at the Jade Emperor and Shen Yun beside him, and introduced them to the fat fox: "These are my two junior brothers, the Jade Emperor and Yun Canghai."
Then he introduced the fat fox, "This is Yue Niang, her name is Hu Manyue."
“What a cute name!”
The Jade Emperor smiled and stretched out his evil claws, trying to stroke the fox's head like Zhao Qing did, but Hu Manyue dodged his head and avoided it.
Hu Zijun laughed and said, "Haha, this name has a history. Look at her figure, plump as a full moon, shouldn't she be called Man Yue?"
Hu Manyue protested dissatisfiedly: "Aunt Zijun!"
Zhao Qing said hurriedly, "How cute they are when they are fat! Foxes should be chubby and furry!"
The Jade Emperor also nodded and said flatteringly: "That's right!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Manyue immediately revealed a proud look, with both feet on the ground, two paws on his waist, and a smug expression: "Hehe!"
Hu Zijun smiled and ordered: "Okay, Yue Niang, go and call everyone to make tea and get fruit to entertain the guests!"
"Okay!"
Hu Manyue responded, turned around, jumped a few times, and disappeared behind the thatched house.
Then, more and more foxes were running around the village, some carrying baskets, some carrying water, some holding pots, etc. Some foxes were carefully holding a few tea bowls and walking upright; some foxes were holding bamboo baskets in their mouths and walking on all fours; and some foxes were working together to pull and push a large basket full of fruits, struggling to carry it to the river.
The Jade Emperor was stunned by this strange sight and exclaimed: "They are so capable!"
Shen Yun also said, "You look very hardworking!" Hu Zijun was quite pleased with the praise from the others and said modestly, "Fox is naughty and can't be considered hardworking. In fact, this is just learning the way of life of you humans. This is quite beneficial to cultivation, and in the long run, it will also help with transformation."
"Then why don't we let them settle in Chang'an?" The Jade Emperor asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't that be more convenient? We already have many demon cultivators in Chang'an! I heard that several of them attained enlightenment and transformed into human form not long after they settled here!"
Hu Zijun explained: "To survive in the human settlement, they have to learn to be self-reliant. They are honest and straightforward, and it is difficult for them to support themselves. Therefore, the foxes in Chiyuan Cave are rarely allowed to go out unless they transform."
The Jade Emperor said, "There are many ways to support yourself! I think they can open a fox cafe, play around in it every day, and make money without doing anything. It will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Fox Cafe?"
"Well, it's just a teahouse, but the main purpose is to let customers masturbate... ahem, to heal customers," the Jade Emperor said, and quickly changed the way of describing it, saying, "Let people touch their heads or fox fur, and then sell tea and snacks at a high price. It's guaranteed to make money!"
Hu Zijun looked puzzled: "Let the human touch the fox's fur?"
Zhao Qing secretly stepped on the Jade Emperor and took over the conversation: "It's like this, we humans, especially the disciples of Taiyin Sect, because we don't have them, so we especially like furry creatures, such as cats, dogs, foxes, rabbits, etc. We especially like the feeling of stroking this kind of fur, which has a decompression effect...
"Decompression means... well, it means to relieve stress and release pressure! As you know, practice, study, and even our daily work and life are very stressful! When the pressure is high, the mood will be very bad. At the mildest, it will lead to depression and world-weariness, and at the worst, it will lead to suicide! At this time, if you can touch furry things such as foxes and cats, your mood will immediately improve! "How should I put it? It's a way to relax! To some extent, it's also a kind of 'treatment' for us! So we often say that touching furry things will make you 'healed'! Uh... I hope our idea doesn't offend you..."
Although Hu Zijun still couldn't quite understand the logic of "touching a fox will make you feel better", she didn't feel offended. She said, "It's not offensive, but... can't you human cultivators transform into cats and dogs? Why don't you turn into cats and dogs and touch each other?"
The Jade Emperor said, "Ah, it's mainly about the art of shapeshifting. It's too difficult to learn, and not many people can master it! Secondly, the animals that are transformed look fake, not like the real furry, naturally cute, and naturally healing animals!"
Shen Yun frowned and said, "And people touching each other... that's too weird!"
Zhao Qing said: "It's not that strange actually. It's quite common for us girls to touch each other's heads!"
Shen Yun suddenly realized, "I understand now. Perhaps animal hair is equivalent to human hair? But it feels better and looks more beautiful?"
The Jade Emperor interrupted in a very unpleasant way: "Why not leg hair?"
Shen Yun shuddered. "A layer of leg hair as thick as the fur of a fox or a cat or dog? Are you talking about an orangutan or a baboon?"
Hu Zijun seemed to be thinking: "I remember that when you came here last time, you seemed to have a good time with them, and seemed to like touching their ears?"
"Ah... well, foxes are indeed, from the perspective of human aesthetics... at least from the perspective of us Taiyin Sect disciples, very, very, very cute!"
Zhao Qing felt a little embarrassed and kept saying the word "special" several times in an attempt to "excuse" her shameless behavior and save face.
"Alas! Foxes are so attractive! Who doesn't like furry things?" The Jade Emperor shook his head and sighed, emphasizing: "Really, if you settle in our Chang'an City, you will be sought after by thousands of people! And you don't have to worry about safety issues! Our Chang'an City is fully connected to the Internet! If there is a problem, it can be reported immediately! So far, the crime rate of residents is zero!"
Zhao Qing couldn't help but complain in the team channel: "What a boast! That's because all the criminals have been either killed or kicked out, okay!"
Hu Zijun was really tempted: "Hmm... Is the 'fox coffee' that fellow Taoists are talking about really feasible? Foxes that have not yet transformed cannot practice fasting. They have to eat and drink every day. Take Yue Niang for example. She eats three chickens a day at most!"
