Little Moon jumped up and down saying: "The chapter update is less than 50%, just wait until midnight and you can read it!" In a remote area of the Qingqiu Divine Fox's territory, on a small path, three young foxes who were still unable to transform into human form surrounded each other discussing the news from the Fox Master's Hall in the upper reaches of the Si River.
They were about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was not yet fifteen. The fox-like creatures were only the size of a round fan, and they were young spirits from the Green Hill Fox clan. The leader was a red fox, while the other two were gray foxes, slightly smaller in build.
One of the gray foxes smiled and replied: "That's right, it's that young master. I heard he is the son of the divine fox, born with nine tails, no need to worship the moon to cultivate human form, extremely talented, since childhood following his father Fox Master learning heart techniques, literary talent extraordinary, martial arts talent transcendent, learned immortal techniques for only a few years, and defeated an older senior brother who had entered the sect, at this age has already entered the spiritual immortal realm, already has the appearance of breaking through... In the vast expanse of thousands of years, even among the divine foxes born with heavenly gifts, there are few such talents. Moreover, Fox Master and his wife have only one child in a thousand years, so they naturally regard him as a treasure, teaching and loving him with all their heart..."
"However, I've heard that the young master had a serious illness when he was young and has been in poor health ever since... Although he's recovered now, he still rarely comes into contact with outsiders and is calm and reserved by nature, speaking little - is this true?"
That gray fox smiled and said matter-of-factly: "Born as a divine fox... after all, there's still some pride of being a divine fox in my bones."
He thought for a moment and said, "Most divine foxes choose an outstanding person from their clan to marry at a young age, engage early, and then select a good day to get married later. But the young master has gone through so many calamities at such a young age, it's unknown how long this mortal tribulation will last. The fox masters are worried that he will miss the traditional engagement year when the time comes, and there won't be anyone suitable for him to marry, so they have been thinking about choosing someone recently. The fox masters love the young master dearly, knowing that he is a man of few words but has his own ideas, so this time they let him choose someone who suits his heart, and their relationship as husband and wife will also be harmonious in the future."
Another grey fox heard this and chuckled, "No wonder I saw the girls in the mountain excitedly looking for wild flowers to decorate themselves this morning. I wonder who will be chosen by the young master in the end?"
"If it's an ordinary case, it would probably be a remarkable woman from the Shen Hu tribe who has had contact with him and is of similar age. If they were betrothed before the young master descended to the mortal world, then after he returns to heaven, things can proceed smoothly."
The gray fox replied. However, after answering, he paused slightly and added: "However, this time the young master has had little contact with outsiders, and it's not that I've heard him mention having a close relationship with a green plum cousin or something... really can't guess who it will be in the end..."
The gray fox had not finished speaking, when they saw the big stone beside which they were crouching, a clump of grass shook, and a small white fox emerged from behind the long grass that was screening it.
That little fox was pure white all over, about the same size as them, with fluffy fur and a white tail trailing behind her. However, there was an irregularly-shaped red birthmark on her forehead that made her look different from the others. The Qingqiu spirit foxes were known to be clean freaks, so this little fox should have been well-groomed by her parents, but she looked like no one had taken care of her, with several grey spots in her fur. Although it was clear that she had tried to tidy up her white tail on her own, without anyone to teach her, she still looked a bit disheveled.
She came back from the direction of the small stream, looking like she had just gone to drink water. She was skipping and jumping with a small fruit in her mouth, heading towards the stone opposite the fox den, seemingly in a good mood.
As soon as he saw her appear, the gray fox's companion immediately lit up in front of his eyes, hastily interrupting his words and excitedly saying: "Quickly look! The Eight Clowns have arrived!"
The one who spoke was the red fox at the head, and when the two gray foxes were chatting, he never made a sound, staring steadily at the entrance of the cave, while being vigilant in all directions, but suddenly became excited with a deep voice.
That little fox heard someone's voice beside him and subconsciously tilted his head in confusion.
But then the three foxes that were originally lying on the big stone got up at the same time. The red fox licked its lips, used its long tail to casually pick up a small stone, tossed it in the air, and shouted at the little white fox: "Hey! Ugly eight, look here!"
As he spoke, he swung his long tail and knocked out the small stone that had been thrown up by him.
That little white fox spirit has not yet opened, still in a state of ignorance, is only a fox that does not understand human affairs in the mountains and fields. Moreover, the three foxes intentionally hid their breath, how could she have expected such malice here? She didn't dare to loosen her grip on the fruit in her mouth, and in her panic, she hurriedly ran towards the direction of the fox den.
Three foxes saw her about to run and burst out laughing, immediately chasing after her.
Just then, the three foxes did not notice that in the sky, a jade chariot was galloping across the horizon from the east, heading towards the direction of Si River. The chariot was driven by six five-tailed red foxes, with a moon-colored pattern on the carriage, a three-colored flowing tassel hanging from the curtain, and a fragrant leather canopy with precious stones on top, extremely beautiful and elegant.
A pale hand lifted the car curtain, revealing the outside scenery as a commotion was heard from outside.
The person in the carriage was also a young man, with eyes like a quiet pool, a straight nose bridge, and a red lotus born between his eyebrows. He wore a loose-fitting blue robe, with a belt around his waist, his figure tall and slender, his face pale, with a pair of thin eyes, yet he had the demeanor of a noble jade person.
The young man lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, and the young man who was originally standing outside the carriage and following it quietly stopped the horse, bowed respectfully and called out: "Young Master!"
The young man nodded slightly.
As soon as the car stopped, the five red foxes in front of it turned their heads and curiously looked back.
Everyone in this line is dressed similarly, regardless of whether they are male or female foxes, with a red cord tied around their forehead and a golden bead strung in the middle of the red cord, which seems to be an ornament, but it is actually the mark of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.
The young man asked: "Young master, are there any instructions?"
The young man looked in the direction of the mountain forest.
Although they were walking in the clouds, the nine-tailed fox's eyesight was not ordinary. The higher their cultivation, the farther they could see, and naturally, they could see the situation in the mountains.
He said: "Huli Qi, I heard a noise from the mountain over there, what happened?"
The young man paused slightly, then looked in the direction of Shaozhu's gaze. He hesitated for a moment before responding: "It seems there are several unformed demons bullying a girl... Young Master, please wait here for a moment, I'll go stop them."
The young man furrowed his brow and nodded slightly.
The fox quickly transformed into a seven-tailed celestial fox and stepped on the clouds to leave.
The young man's clear eyes lightly lifted and continued to gaze in that direction.
Only three boys didn't notice the adult rushing towards them, excitedly chasing after the little white fox. The little white fox was obviously smaller in both body and age, its cultivation seemingly no match, running around frantically, desperately using its fox instincts to swish its tail at them, kicking up sand dust with its hind legs to confuse their eyes, the tree fruit it had been holding onto tightly finally dropped, its mournful cry sounded weak like a child's, struggling with all its might to shake them off.
Three big foxes were chasing after the little fox, with their backs to him. The white fox was also running away with her back to him, but suddenly she turned around while dodging, probably wanting to see if she had shaken off the three of them, but somehow her direction shifted and she looked towards Yu Bo's direction instead.
A pair of clear, clean and bright eyes.
The boy was taken aback.
He knew that with the cultivation of this little fox, he couldn't see him on this side of the carriage, but for some reason, he felt like they had locked eyes for a moment. He was too focused on her eyes and didn't notice any other part of her face. However, in the next instant, the little white fox quickly looked away, continuing to run forward at high speed. Before Hu Qi could catch up, she had already crouched down and kicked her legs to enter the fox den.
But on this side, the red fox, who was the leader of the three foxes, saw that the little white fox was about to run away and became anxious, gritting its teeth. In a state of urgency, it picked up a small stone with its tail, just like before, and slapped it, sending the stone flying quickly towards the little white fox.
"Ahhhroo!"
The little white fox happened to turn her head to see if they were chasing after them, but was hit by the sharp corner of a small stone right above her eyes. She let out two snorts and hurriedly burrowed into the hole, only in that instant when she turned back, the three foxes behind her saw that her eyes were brimming with what seemed to be tears.
After all, they were still young boys who couldn't bear to see girls cry. Seeing her with tears in her eyes, they originally wanted to chase after her, but now their movements suddenly froze, and their faces showed panic.
The grey fox that was originally the slowest to chase awkwardly patted the ground and said in a difficult tone, "Joker... she seems to be crying..."
Another grey fox seemed to be embarrassed, stiffening on the spot and not daring to move. Only the red fox stiffened for a moment, awkwardly using its tail to pat the ground for half a day, finally gritting its teeth and snorting in anger: "Hmph, let her run away again!"
If it were usual, the two gray foxes would have chimed in, but today they just stared at each other, without making a sound.
One of the foxes suddenly said, "Speaking of which... Xiaohuo Baigui seems to be around our age, similar to Master's. Fortunately, she is also within Master's range for choosing a wife. What if Master has an unusual taste and chooses Xiaohuo Baigui as his future wife? We've been bullying her so much, won't we be in trouble later?"
The slow grey fox didn't say a word, but the red fox suddenly paused and then burst out laughing: "How is that possible? Has Young Master gone mad?"
At this time, the gray fox who was chasing slightly slower looked at the entrance of the little white fox's den and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't know why we call her ugly eight... actually, I think... little ugly eight... is quite cute... although there is a birthmark on her forehead, but that birthmark is not big, and the shape is..."
Another grey fox looked at the red fox cautiously, just about to nod in agreement, when suddenly the red fox became enraged and shouted: "Are you all stupid?! Never mind the fox shape for now, but with such a huge birthmark on her forehead! When she transforms into human form, it's likely that half of her face will be covered in birthmarks. How can she possibly look good?! You should listen to me, I'm definitely right! Besides, what else would you call someone like her except for 'Little Clown'?! She doesn't even have a name! And besides, the young master choosing a wife——”
The update speed is the fastest, hurry up and come!
