The bed in Bai Zi's room was indeed very comfortable. Lang Xi felt that he had probably had the best sleep of his life. The only drawback was that Bai Zi did not allow him to change back to his original form because the vixen disliked his hair loss.
This is slander! He's just a little fluffy and in the growth phase, that's all. Lang Xi was furious and secretly resolved to ignore Bai Zi from now on. But the food the chef cooked was so delicious. Lang Xi had never tasted so many different kinds of breakfast before.
"Langxi, come out for dinner."
Wolf Xi, the wolf, huddled in his quilt, oblivious to the world outside, but the aroma of breakfast permeated the crack in the door, through the quilt, and into his nostrils. So hungry... Wolf Xi rubbed his stomach. If he didn't eat, how could he grow if he starved? It was all the stinky fox's fault. He'd remember him again and get his revenge when he grew up!
"Lang Xi, hurry up!" Bai Zi's voice sounded again, as if he was completely unaware that Lang Xi was in a one-sided cold war with him.
"I know--" Lang Xi muttered and got out of bed. He seemed reluctant, but in fact, his legs under the loose bathrobe were running very fast.
"Slow down... why are you still wearing my bathrobe?" The vixen was sitting in the main seat. She must have just returned from a morning run. Although there was no sweat on her body, she was still hot. At this moment, she was looking at him leisurely with her hands on the table.
"My clothes are all dirty and haven't dried yet, and you won't find me clothes to wear, and you won't let me turn into a wolf..." Lang Xi said with a bit of grievance, "Is this how you raise a child?!"
Bai Zi was amused by the wolf's matter-of-fact tone and picked him up and put him on a chair. "That's my fault. I'll have someone send over some clothes later... But, can't you use magic to make clothes for yourself?"
Bai Zi narrowed his fox eyes and looked at Lang Xi. Lang Xi felt so hurt that he was about to jump up and down.
"So what? I'm not grown up yet, it's normal!"
Bai Zi didn't respond, but sneered, "Let's eat first."
Lang Xi had no objection and obediently held the bowl and ate happily.
After dinner, Bai Zi's housekeeper lowered his head and whispered something to him, and Bai Zi nodded slightly towards Lang Xi.
"Langxi, go change your clothes."
Lang Xi looked at the servants behind the butler who were carrying bags full of gifts, and said "Wow" in a very pathetic way.
The butler picked out a white shirt and black dungarees for him. His shapely calves were wrapped in fine white calf socks, and his feet were stepped on a pair of small handmade leather shoes. Lang Xi had never worn such formal clothes before, and he felt constrained after putting them on, and his face flushed slightly with discomfort.
"Not bad, now you look like a good boy, Langxi." Bai Xi walked around him and confirmed his taste.
"Stinky... stinky fox, I have always been a good child. No, I am no longer a child!" Lang Xi retorted with his head raised with a pair of red little ears.
"As you wish," Bai Zi waved her hand nonchalantly, "but little thing, you'd better change the way you address me. After all, I accepted Lang Heng's commission to teach you cultivation. If you treat me badly, you will suffer the consequences."
Lang Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is this possible! I want to go home!"
"Not eating lobster tonight?"
“Of course I will eat it!”
"What about the whole lamb banquet tomorrow night?"
"Then...I want to eat too!"
Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are. Lang Xi still doesn't understand this truth, and when he finally realizes it's too late.
"Then what should I call you... You and the ancestor are friends, so I have to call you..." Lang Xi compromised with the power of money and pinched his fingers shyly.
When Bai Zi heard the name "ancestor", his heart tightened. He pressed his eyebrows and exhaled, "Just call me brother. I'm much younger than that old wolf..." At the end, Bai Zi felt a little lacking in confidence.
"Oh——" Fortunately, this little fool did not doubt it. He lowered his head and squeezed out a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, "Brother."
"Hmm~ Not bad! Our little Xi is really well behaved."
Lang Xi lowered his head and wished he could bury it in the ground.
…
When Bai Zi was a teacher, his attitude was completely different from his usual lazy and frivolous one, he was serious and picky. Lang Xi found joy in his hardship under his guidance, gritting his teeth and practicing hard, his only thoughts every day being to eat and sleep in a soft bed.
Lang Xi himself hadn't anticipated staying in Bai Zi for ten years. During that time, he attended a human school, studying alongside human children. He returned home at night to practice cultivation with Bai Zi. Xu Nuo and Lang Heng would occasionally visit him, bringing him souvenirs from their travels. The days flew by.
"Xiao Xi, what are you doing? Why aren't you in a hurry to go to bed today?"
"Um..., brother, I'd better sleep in the guest room from now on." Lang Xi's eyes were wandering, and he said this tentatively to Bai Zi.
"Tsk," Bai Zi snorted and laughed, "I thought it was something serious. Go ahead, good night."
After saying that, Bai Zi walked into her room, leaving Lang Xi standing alone in the corridor in a daze.
"Stinky fox! Don't you even know to try to keep me..." Lang Xi muttered in his heart, feeling inexplicably sad and depressed.
"What's that? Am I going through puberty like a human?" Lang Xi scratched his head and walked back to the guest room. Today, his human friends were surprised to learn that he was still sleeping with his brother. Lang Xi was already 25 years old, but his human form was not much different from that of an 18 or 19-year-old boy, and even his mental state was almost the same.
"Is it weird? Like this?" Lang Xi asked them nervously.
"Of course... uh, I mean, a little bit. Even though we're both men, but you're so old and still sleeping with your brother..." Before his friend finished the rest of the sentence, Lang Xi understood roughly what he meant.
However, watching Bai Zi walk into the room decisively, Lang Xi still felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was the only one who was struggling and even a little sad, while Bai Zi seemed to be treating it as an insignificant matter. Lang Xi frowned, wrapped himself in the quilt, and gradually fell asleep.
Unbeknownst to Lang Xi, Bai Zi's expression completely changed after closing the door. The frivolous, lazy smile that always graced that sinister face vanished completely for the first time, and his eyes were covered in a layer of scarlet blood.
It’s so fast! It turns out that Lang Xi has reached the mature stage. I just didn’t expect that the first thing he would do would be to avoid suspicion with me.
"Go check for me. Has anyone said anything they shouldn't have to the young master, or..." Bai Zi paused, her nails suddenly digging into her palms, "Is there someone in a relationship with him?"
