Chapter 184

  Wen Ting paused for a moment after hearing Yun Mian's words, then remembered that Yun Mian grew up in Dongshan and rarely heard rumors about Tu Shan, so it was normal. He replied, "The ones living in Tu Shan are also foxes, and they're all white foxes."

  Yunmian was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "So besides Qingqiu, there are other immortal realms that also have fox spirits living in them?"

  She tilted her head slightly.

  Yunmian had always been diligent in his studies and had long since memorized the Shan Hai Jing, but he couldn't recall any mention of Mount Tu, which left him perplexed.

  "But I don't think I've seen this place in the Shan Hai Jing"

  "Yes, there are Tushan songs and many legends as evidence, all of which are traces of Tushan's past activities."

  Wen Ting replied.

  "The foxes of Tu Shan are all female and do not reproduce in the usual way. The population is sparse, and the immortal realm is small. For thousands of years, they have been very low-key, so they were never recorded in the Shan Hai Jing. The geographical knowledge you've learned about the immortal clans is based on the Shan Hai Jing, but we haven't had contact with Tu Shan for nearly twenty years, so it's normal that you hadn't heard of them before."

  In fact, don't mention Yunmian and other biased mountain foxes. Even in Qingqiu City, there are many people who are not clear about what Tushan is all about. Tushan is mysterious and noble, the Tushan family rarely comes out of the mountain. Foxes born into aristocratic families in Qingqiu City mostly only hear about it from their parents or read about it in books.

  "Oh."

  Yunmian listened with a daze, she was interested in this topic and also felt curious.

  She pinched the letter paper in her fingers and flipped through it, only to see that the font was beautiful and elegant, like a refined lady's handwriting, making people yearn for it. Yunmian subconsciously asked, "Will the master of Tushan Mountain hold a fairy banquet this time, just like the Phoenix Queen did last time?"

  Wen Ting shook his head, "We and Tu Shan are of the same clan, so we're naturally close. Looking at Father and Mother's attitude, it seems like they're more inclined to have a private gathering rather than making a big fuss."

  He saw Yunmian looking very curious, so he touched her head and said, "However, I heard from my parents that the Lord of Tu Shan saw me shortly after I was born. This time, after the Lord of Tu Shan arrives, my parents may also let us meet in person. If you mind, just prepare for it then."

  "Uh-huh"

  Yunmian was still a bit dazed, but she silently memorized every word that Wenting said about Tushan. She became more and more expectant and curious. When she heard Wenting say that they might be able to meet the master of Tushan, she was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.

  Wen Ting looked at her with a faint smile and said, "My parents must have been waiting for me for some time now. Meng Er, I'll go first then. If there's any new news, I'll come back to tell you."

  "Okay"

  Yunmian woke up and quickly waved his tail to bid farewell to him.

  Wēn tíng yě liú liàn de cháo tā huī le huī wěi ba.

  Translation:

  Wen Ting also reluctantly waved her tail at her.

  After bidding farewell to the two, he changed his route and went to the most magnificent main hall of the Fox Palace. After entering the study of the Lord and Lady of the Fox, he simply bowed his head and saluted, saying "Father, Mother."

  The host and the hostess were sitting in the study, playing a game of chess. When they saw Wen Ting, the hostess put down her chess piece and smiled, saying "Ting Er, you're here."

  As she spoke, she gestured to the seat beside her and asked Wen Ting to sit down.

  Wen Ting walked up and sat down in the middle position between Hu Zhu and his wife, and took a glance at the chessboard. The two players were evenly matched, and it was still unclear who would win or lose.

  "Madam Fox said, 'I and your father came to find you today, mainly to talk about the matter of Tushan Xianzhu coming to Qingqiu for a visit. You've already seen Tushan Xianzhu's letter, the general situation is as stated in the letter, and also what Hu Qi said when he conveyed the message. Lady Tushan used to hold you in her arms when you were young.'"

  Wen Ting thought for a moment and said, "I've already forgotten."

  The lady of the fox host covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled, "How can you remember that time when you were just born? Even if you were a nine-tailed fox from birth, you wouldn't be able to remember."

  The lady of the Fox clan simply and carefully explained to Wen Ting all the arrangements for the upcoming visit of the Mountain Immortal Master to Qingqiu, including personnel matters. After finishing her explanation, she smiled elegantly and said, "This time when we entertain the Immortal Master, it's mainly a private gathering between us, unlike before when it was public. There won't be many official matters involved, just casual conversation, so the scale is very small. Originally, this matter wasn't intended to be handled by you, as it doesn't have much to do with you. However, after discussing it with your father, we thought it would still be best to explain everything to you in detail."

  Wen Ting understood as soon as he heard it. This was Father and Mother's intention to inform him specifically, so he quickly expressed that he understood.

  The hostess, after finishing the important matter of Tushan, temporarily removed the chessboard on the table and replaced it with tea and refreshments, so that the three of them could enjoy tea together. The three of them were all very busy, rarely having the opportunity to rest together on ordinary days, today was a rare occasion.

  Madam Hu looked at Wen Ting with a sense of relief, thinking that in just a few short years, Wen Ting had grown into such a refined and elegant young man. They chatted for a while, when Madam Hu suddenly asked with concern, "Ting'er, how has Meng'er been lately? Is everything all right with his health, studies, and cultivation?"

  The lady of the fox clan had always been very fond of Yunmian, and whenever she mentioned Tuantuan, her eyes would brighten up. When Wuting mentioned Yunmian, his mood also improved, and his usual calm and collected demeanor softened. He replied, "Very good. Yunmian has always been very diligent, and even among the previous disciples, she can be considered one of the fastest to make progress. And recently, it seems like she's getting even better."

  The courtyard was filled with the sound of clouds, and Meng didn't sleep much. The Fox Master's wife looked at him with a faint smile, seeing that their relationship was so good, she felt extremely relieved in her heart. After a while, she sighed and said, "To think about it, I don't know when Meng's ninth tail will be born. His previous five tails and seven tails were all born relatively quickly, although there was some luck involved, but if the ninth tail could also be born so quickly, that would be great."

  Nine Tails

  Wen Ting heard Mrs. Hu mention this and hesitated for a moment.

  He liked every tail of Yunmian, no matter how many tails she had, and thought it was cute, so he wasn't in a hurry. When he heard that the Fox Master's wife suddenly took an interest in Yunmian's nine tails, he unexpectedly revealed a hint of puzzlement.

  The mistress of the fox spirits saw her son's rare expression and smiled, saying "Don't worry, you and Meng'er are still young. However, the young master and mistress of Qingqiu require both parties to have nine tails before they can get married. Meng'er has been working hard and already has seven tails, it seems that having nine tails is a sure thing, but giving birth to them early will also allow us to feel at ease earlier."

  When Ting heard Mrs. Hu say the words "get married", she immediately understood her entire meaning, and a buzzing sound rang out in her mind, her pale face slightly flushed with some pink color, but her mouth said "It's okay, I'll wait, Meng'er will come slowly."

  When Ting finished speaking, Mrs. Hu smiled.

  She had seen Wen Ting and Yun Mian interact, and looking at Wen Ting's eyes like that, it wouldn't be surprising if he wanted to elope with Yun Mian one day.

  However, Lady Hu asked and let it go, not really pressing for an answer. She smiled and said, "You can practice together more often, you are the best in terms of cultivation among the young master's attendants and inner disciples. Spend more time with Meng'er, maybe her nine tails will grow faster."

  After finishing, the Fox Master's wife paused for a moment, recalling that she had actually called Wen Ting today to discuss the matter of Tou Shan Xian Zhu, and once again reminded him: "And also about the visit from Tou Shan Nü Jun, although this time it won't be a big fuss, you still need to pay attention to it."

  "Yes."

  Wen Ting replied.

  She was originally blushing when telling Mrs. Hu about his affair with Yunmian, but upon hearing the story of Tou Shan Xianzhu, she couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  In fact, it's not just Yunmian, but also Wen Ting feels curious about this fairy mountain that has never been recorded in the geographical annals of Lianshanhai. He was born in Qingqiucheng and had been to Dongshan, with a broader vision than many older fox officials, yet he always felt that Tushan was vague and elusive, as if it were just a legend.

  He remembered that Yunmian had been curious before, and Tingmo quietly took down the details of the visit from the master of Mount Xianshan, planning to go back and tell Yunmian.

  Tushan girl's plan to bring her disciples to visit Qingqiu was soon spread throughout the Fox Palace.

  The Fox King and the Fox Queen informed Wen Ting about the visit of the Tushan Xianzhu, and many fox officials in the Fox Palace naturally knew the news immediately. They didn't intentionally conceal it either, as Tushan was one of the few same-clan immortal realms. Many young disciples inside the Fox Palace who had never heard of Tushan before were excited at once.

  Three days later, the Master of Tou Shan arrived on this day. The disciples in the room happened to have no classes, and when it was almost time, a large group of idle little foxes all flocked together to watch, and even many were originally supposed to listen to classes and cultivate but sneaked out secretly.

  Xiao Yue rushed over early in the morning to find Yun Mian, pulling her out of the immortal palace and said excitedly "Tuan Tuan heard that the fairy carriage of Tou Shan Niangzi is almost here, others have already gone, let's go take a look"

  Yunmian herself was also very much in mind, no need for Xiaoyue to say it, she had already prepared to go out and take a look. The two of them hand in hand ran to the main gate of the Fox Palace, only to see that the Lord and Lady of the Fox were already waiting there, and the roads nearby were also crowded with people.

  Tuishan Xianzhu didn't actually plan to receive anyone that day, but the enthusiasm and curiosity of the little fox disciples were too much to bear. The area around the Jade Path was still packed with people as before, and even some fox officials had come out to watch the commotion. Everyone looked up at the sky, waiting for the celestial chariot to arrive.

  Yunmian and Xiaoyue held hands, also raised their heads, only to see that today was sunny with no clouds, the cool breeze blowing gently, the sky a brilliant blue.

  Suddenly, a line of magnificent carriages appeared in the distance. The entire row of celestial vehicles was made of jade, with white and pale yellow gauze draped over them, which fluttered up like morning mist when blown by the wind.

  The Tu Shan team drove around the four biased mountains of Qingqiu, then circled again above the city of Qingqiu. When the celestial car approached, Yunmian saw that on its body were painted green mist and white spring, elegant and leisurely.

  The green sedan slowly descended to the ground, landing extremely gently, as if it had merely brushed against the earth. The people in the car quickly got out.

  A large group of white-robed fairies descended from the vehicle, each with nine tails. The woman who walked down from the middle looked particularly respected, and judging by her tail, she was also the oldest. Her tail was the largest and most expansive, but a veil covered her head to block the wind, making it impossible to see her face. She was immediately surrounded by everyone in the center, while the other white-robed fairies stood respectfully beside her, lowering their eyebrows and eyes.

  Only then did the nine-tailed white fox fairy wait for everyone to stand still before slowly moving her steps, walking towards the direction of the Fox Master and his wife.

  The update speed is the fastest, hurry up and come!
