Tao Yuxiang thought it was candy, and happily chewed it with her eyes squinted and cheeks puffed out.
Her husband is good in every way, except he's a bit too controlling. He even worries about her getting teeth from eating sweets, which is a sweet burden!
She desperately wanted to tell him not to worry, that she was a fox spirit.
What fox spirit would be rolling on the ground in pain from eating candy and getting tooth decay?
However, she felt the surge of spiritual energy that came rushing in after the candy coating was bitten through, like spring rain irrigating parched land, or like a spring breeze melting ice and snow!
Tao Yuxiang was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.
She kept her mouth tightly shut, gesturing repeatedly to Ke Meiyu, her expression full of disbelief.
How could there be such abundant spiritual energy in the mortal realm?
Before Ke Meiyu could speak, Tang Jinhan, whose eyes had been glued to his wife, jumped out in fright, grabbed Tao Yuxiang, and pinched her philtrum hard. "Wife, what's wrong with you? You were fine just now, why are you shaking?"
Tao Yuxiang stared wide-eyed, her mouth reluctant to open, lest her spiritual energy leak out.
She could only shake her head and wave her hands, telling him that she was fine and not to pinch her philtrum anymore, as it made it hard for her to breathe!
But Tang Jinhan was too nervous to understand her meaning, and just anxiously shouted, "Wife, relax, don't bite yourself."
“If you want to bite, bite me,” he said, placing her on his lap, continuing to pinch her philtrum with one hand while using the other to pry open her mouth…
If the spirit is right in front, then that's your own father and mother!
Tao Yuxiang wouldn't let go of his mouth, and kept pounding on Tang Jinhan with her hands, trying to make him let go.
However, what Tang Jinhan received was that his wife was flailing her arms and legs in distress...
Ke Meiyu was so amused she almost collapsed with laughter. While patting Tang Jinhan's shoulder, she tried to calm herself down and whispered, "Cousin, my sister-in-law is fine. She just got excited after eating a delicious piece of candy!"
Tang Jinhan was so focused on prying open his wife's mouth that he didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"Little cousin," Ke Meiyu tried to pry his hand off, but Qin Yuanjiu beat her to it.
Qin Yuanjiu pressed down on Tang Jinhan's arm a few times, and then pulled him away when the other man's arm was weak.
Tao Yuxiang seized the opportunity to quickly guide the spiritual energy into her meridians, her eyes red as she rubbed her mouth, asking, "What kind of madness are you having?"
When Tang Jinhan saw that his wife was alright, he scratched his head and smiled guiltily.
He once saw a very beautiful girl having an epileptic seizure. Several people held her down and stuffed a towel into her mouth to prevent her from biting herself.
However, Tao Yuxiang's attention was not on that. She looked at Ke Meiyu, who was smiling with tears in her eyes, pursed her lips, took the initiative to walk over and take her arm, and whispered in her ear as they walked: "Little sister, how do you have the elixir? And how do you know I'm five hundred years old?"
Ke Meiyu sighed slightly and said, half-jokingly, "It's a long story. I'll make it short. Ever since my second aunt pushed me to the ground and I hit the back of my head, I've had a lot of information about the ancient cultivation world in my head."
"This includes a talisman healer, a beast tamer, a Qiankun bag, and a spirit beast bag!"
"I think maybe I'm just lucky and received the inheritance of some powerful being."
"The elixir that my cousin-in-law just ate, and the talisman that allowed me to discern your cultivation level, both came from that Qiankun bag."
Tao Yuxiang was so excited that she couldn't help but tighten her grip slightly. Then she said disapprovingly, "Little sister, you shouldn't have told me about this. The more people know, the greater the risk!"
"You have no idea what some people will do for their treasures."
She had seen this kind of thing many times, and even though she had just gained spiritual energy, she couldn't help but feel greedy!
Ke Meiyu smiled and whispered, "My cousin has always been very kind to me, and I don't want to make him sad."
"I possess this Qiankun Bag, the Spirit Beast Bag, and the inheritance of a powerful being. Others might consider me quite lucky, but I don't ask for much. I only hope that I and my family and friends can have a peaceful and happy life."
"Little cousin-in-law, although we haven't met many times and don't know each other very well, I feel an instant connection with you and am willing to share this secret with you!"
Tao Yuxiang's eyes welled up with tears. "Little sister, you really are just like Brother Jinhan said, so well-behaved, considerate, and sensible. It makes people want to open their hearts to you."
"Right? I think I'm the best too," Ke Meiyu always liked to receive praise and had no idea what humility was.
She raised her chin with a smug look, then said with concern, "Little cousin-in-law, as a Snow Fox with the bloodline of one of the divine beasts, you've only achieved this much cultivation in five hundred years?"
"What if one day you don't have enough of the essence of the sun and moon to absorb, and you happen to encounter a demon hunter?"
Tao Yuxiang touched the tip of her nose and said weakly and shyly, "I use my demonic power every day to cast a divination for myself. I can't say it's 100% accurate, but I can at least 99% of the time avoid them."
"Little cousin-in-law, this is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause," Ke Meiyu clicked her tongue in disapproval.
“What can I do? I’ve survived five hundred years of ups and downs,” Tao Yuxiang said helplessly.
She had accidentally entered the barrier's rift back then and had no idea how to return. Besides, she now truly loved Tang Jinhan and wanted to stay by his side during his short few decades.
She's lived for five hundred years, can't she just stay here peacefully for him in his lifetime?
Aside from the unexpected Qian Zenggang incident, Tao Yuxiang was quite confident in and reliant on her ability to avoid trouble.
Ke Meiyu chuckled and leaned closer, continuing to whisper, "Little cousin-in-law, the spirit beast pouch I obtained has a spirit essence pearl embedded in it, which can continuously provide spirit beasts with spiritual energy. Although it's not much, it's much richer than the essence of the sun and moon obtained from the mortal world!"
Fearing that Tao Yuxiang might misunderstand, she added, "Little cousin-in-law, a wise person knows when to yield. I have no ulterior motives; I simply hope that your cultivation can improve so that you won't expend too much demonic power when you encounter difficulties, causing your demonic energy to leak out and be noticed by others!"
“I checked the information about beast taming, and there are several contract modes. We can choose to form a peaceful contract, without any distinction of rank or status. Apart from sharing resources, our lives will not be intertwined.”
Tao Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Alright, I've come out on top in this matter, but little sister, once my cultivation level improves, I will definitely repay you!"
Ke Meiyu chuckled and shook her head: "Little cousin-in-law, what I want is a promise from you."
"Tell me about it," Tao Yuxiang said. Although she was a demon, she was very sincere in her dealings with people and never made promises she couldn't keep.
“Little cousin-in-law, I won’t stop you from taking revenge, but I hope that you can live in the mortal world in a way that doesn’t violate the organization’s rules.” Ke Meiyu emphasized earnestly, “My little cousin values you more than his own life! Only when you are well will he be happy.”
