The hostess smiled and replied, "Her name is Yunmian, nickname Tuantuan, she's my daughter-in-law, already engaged to Ting'er, they'll get married in the future."

  She continued with a hint of pride, "You know I've always wanted a daughter. Look at Meng'er, isn't she adorable? Her personality is also extremely good, diligent and progressive in her cultivation, and gets along well with Ting'er, very likable. It's not just me, the other fox officials in the Fox Palace, as well as the disciples who have come into contact with her, all like her."

  "Really?"

  The hostess of Hu Zhifu did not hesitate to boast about Yunmian a lot, but the expression of Tu Shan Xianzhu was still distracted.

  "She asked, 'Where is this little fox from? Is she a fox from your village of Qingqiu?'"

  "The little sleeper should have been born in Qingqiu East Mountain, but her life is indeed suspicious. She has no father or mother, and since she was discovered, she has been living alone as a small fox spirit. We also sent a fox official to investigate, but we didn't find any special clues."

  The hostess of Hu heard Tushan Xianzhu ask this, and her heart also "thudded" once, but still answered truthfully.

  She saw Tushan Xianzhu's thoughtful expression and suddenly became nervous, asking "Tushan Master, why are you asking this? Could it be that you have some clues about Yunmeng's life?"

  Wen Tingjia was just about to enter at this moment when he suddenly heard the words of Hu Zhifu's wife, and his footsteps abruptly stopped.

  He had just arrived in Japan to report the results of his recent training to his parents, but as soon as he came over, he heard his mother and Tou Shan Xian Zhu discussing Yun Mian's origins. His heart suddenly jumped violently, and he quickly restrained the aura on his body, nimbly turning sideways to hide behind the curtain, perking up his ears to listen in.

  He was originally accustomed to not releasing his breath too heavily, but after all, he collected it late, and didn't know if the Fox Master and the Fox Mistress had noticed him, but their attention seemed to be on Mount Tu Xian.

  Tu Shan Xian Zhu said, "There's no lead to speak of. But nineteen years ago, I came to Qing Qiu specifically to celebrate the birth of your son, Qing Qiu Shao Zhu. At that time, I heard that he was born with a red mark on his forehead, shaped like a blooming lotus flower, which is a rare and auspicious sign of heaven's favor. Of course, I was delighted for you both and rushed over to congratulate you. However, it so happened that on the morning of the day I was about to leave, in the garden of Tu Shan Xian Palace, under the tree of the immortal flower I planted myself, I picked up a small stone with a similar red mark. The red mark is also half a red lotus, with three petals, very similar to the birthmark on Shao Zhu's forehead."

  She paused for a moment, saying "We, the foxes of Mount Tu, were all born from the spiritual stones in the mountains. The goddess often has the responsibility to assist and prove the righteousness of the emperors and kings of the mortal world. I saw that this small stone was similar to the mark on the forehead of the young master of Qingqiu, so I thought it might be related to Ting Er, even if I couldn't raise a fox, I could hang it as an amulet. So I put it in the carriage together with other gifts. But when I arrived at Qingqiu, that small stone was gone."

  The hostess listened with rapt attention and anxiously asked, "Do you mean that it fell on Qingqiu Hill and that small stone might be Meng'er?"

  "It is." Tou Shan Xian nodded his head in response, "When we arrived at Qingqiu nineteen years ago, the immortal carriage first circled around the four mountains of Qingqiu as usual before landing at the Fox Palace. On that day, I was exhausted from traveling and didn't notice the small stone had fallen until the next morning."

  The hostess of the fox family was stunned, and she subconsciously said, "But aren't all the toad mountain foxes born with nine tails? When they were discovered in the East Mountain, they only had one tail, and now they have seven tails."

  "The problem doesn't exist. Our little white foxes grow up according to their environment, if they are born in Tushan, they will naturally have nine tails, but if they grow up elsewhere, they will adapt to the local customs and may not have nine tails either. Their cultivation speed also depends on properly assisting the king, meeting strong opponents makes them stronger, with great potential, so once they meet an outstanding person, they will naturally strive to catch up and won't fall behind."

  Tushan Lady thought of the seven tails behind Yunmian's body and said with great surprise, "If Tuantuan is indeed a fox born from the fallen stone of Tushan Mountain, then your young master must be extremely talented as rumored."

  Upon hearing this, Master Fox and Madame Fox exchanged a glance, both falling silent for a moment.

  The hostess hastily said, "But why didn't you say so at the time?"

  Tu Shan Xian Zhu shook his head with difficulty "Qing Qiu is so big, there are five mountains in total, how can we find a small stone? Not to mention that Tu Shan has many stones, but not every one of them can raise a little fox. The stones that can raise a little fox are one in ten million, and it takes us hundreds of years to have one little fox. As for the ones raised elsewhere, they were all given away as a gift from heaven's will. We've never had a fox born outside before. Stones that can't raise a fox are no different from ordinary stones, so I didn't say I wanted to bring this stone back to you or make it a female immortal official. I just wanted to use it as a protective charm. Tu Shan Fox doesn't have to be raised on Tu Shan, even if she was really raised like that, it would still be heaven's will. So, for the sake of this, it's not worth troubling all of you Qing Qiu immortals. Later, I and my disciples tried to find one ourselves, but we didn't succeed."

  At this point, Tou Shan Xian Zhu also showed a thoughtful expression.

  The lady of the fox spirits pinched her husband's hand under the table and asked anxiously, "How will the mountain spirit paint bring Mian'er back to Painted Mountain?"

  The Lady of the Foxes looked at Yunmian and Wenyin growing up together for so many years. If Yunmian was a little fox from Tu Shan, where population is sparse and new-born foxes are highly valued, it wouldn't be strange if the Master of Tu Shan wanted to take her back to raise her, but for the Lady of the Foxes, she couldn't bear to part with her at all.

  "She won't, she's already so big, how can you force her"

  The Mountain Painting Immortal hesitated for a moment before speaking.

  "Besides, I just saw that the red mark on the child's forehead was similar to the small stone under the Ling Xian flower tree where I fell, and I had some doubts, but it wasn't necessarily true."

  After finishing speaking, she thought for a moment and then looked up at the Fox Master and his wife. "However, I'd like to take a closer look at that child to see if he's really the Tushan Fox. If I just take a glance, I'll know. May I have the opportunity to do so?"

  That's natural

  Madam Hu nodded and agreed immediately, saying as she stood up "I'll go find someone to let Meng'er come over again"

  "No need, no need, it's okay"

  Tu Shan Xianzhu declined Mrs. Hu's kind offer on horseback.

  "There's no need to tell her like this, I'll handle it myself."

  The hostess thought for a moment and then sat back down, saying "Alright."

  At this time, the Fox Master spoke up and asked, "Gusu Fox was born with nine tails. If Mian'er is because she was born in Qingqiu and cultivated from head to tail, I wonder if there's a way to restore her?"

  "Of course there is. If she's really one of our Fox Spirits from Mount Tu, all I need to do is take her back to Mount Tu and have her live there for a few days, record her name in the Mount Tu Immortal Registry, pay respects to the Mountain God and Ancestors, and she'll recover. Someone like her who has already cultivated seven tails on her own can be considered to have experienced the mortal world, no need to go through the Spiritual Tribulation again."

  This was naturally the best outcome. The Fox Master's wife had not even thought about the tail matter, and upon hearing that Yunmian could become a nine-tailed fox through worshiping the mountain, her mood improved greatly.

  It wasn't until then that Hu Zhu's gaze shifted and he looked towards Wen Ting who had been standing behind the curtain all along.

  Wen Ting paused for a moment, then slowly walked out from behind the curtain and bowed, saying "Father, Mother, I have seen the Lord of Tushan Mountain."

  Wen Ting stood here for a long time without coming out to greet them, as if he had suddenly appeared, but everyone in the immortal palace didn't seem surprised.

  The lady of the fox host smiled immediately, nodded to him, and then turned her head to Tu Shan Xian Zhu and said "This is my son, Wen Ting."

  Tuishan Xianzhu smiled faintly in the direction of Wenyin's residence, which was enough to serve as a greeting between them.

  Wen Ting Town walked in steadily, only his footsteps paused slightly as he moved. He heard from start to finish what Tou Shan Xian Zhu said to his parents, and when he heard that Yun Mian might be because of the red mark on the stone, similar to his own, he felt a little dizzy and his chest felt somewhat stuffy.

  Wen Ting returned to the immortal mansion where he lived with Yun Mian more than an hour later.

  He simply reported the results of today's cultivation to his parents, but was pulled by them and Tu Shan Xianzhu to talk for a while, unknowingly it had already reached this time.

  When Wen Ting walked in, Yun Mian had already finished his cultivation and homework, waiting at the door. He was reading a book with his head tilted to one side, waiting for him. Seeing Wen Ting return, Yun Mian was indeed very happy, his eyes lit up, and he rushed over to hug Wen Ting, pushing him to the ground, wrapping his arms around his waist, rubbing his head against him, and exclaimed "Wen Ting, you're back!"

  Yunmian said again "I went to talk to Master Hu and Niangniang today, but I unexpectedly saw the Tou Shan Xian Niangniang"

  Yunmian looked very excited, as if he had a lot of things to share with him.

  Wen Ting listened quietly until she finished, and the two chatted for a while. However, Wen Ting suddenly paused, looking somewhat guilty, and asked, "Mian Er, if you could have originally grown up happily with your sisters in another immortal realm, but because of my carelessness, you fell into the mortal world, would you think that it would be happier that way?"

  Yunmian thought that Wenting didn't seem like the kind of person who would ask strange questions, and tilted her head in puzzlement. But seeing his serious expression, she thought for a moment and then asked, "Will I still meet you again?"

  "It's possible, it's also possible not."

  Yunmian immediately replied, "Forget it, I think it's better now. What if we don't meet and it's a pity? Moreover, what if it's like you said, when you go through the Lingshen Tribulation, I won't be able to be with you. What if you encounter someone else first?"

  Even if she met him before going to the Lingxian Tribulation in Wenyuan, that period of time would definitely be very worried, very lonely, and miss him, it doesn't seem good either.

  Yunmian hugged Wenheng more tightly, happily rubbing her head and ears against his chin, feeling that the breath on Wenheng's body had faded again, needing to be rekindled.

  Yunmian rubbed against Lao Ban for half a day, and only stopped when she felt that the smell on his body was all hers.

  Wen Ting was taken aback for a moment, they had been together for so long, it seemed like the first time he heard from Yunmian's mouth with a few words that sounded like sour grapes, and there seemed to be some worry in his tone.

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