Xiao Yue jumped up and down saying: "The chapter updates are less than 50%, just wait until midnight and you can read it!"

  That person originally seemed to have something to say, but when it came to his lips, he swallowed his words.

  "Never mind! What's the point of saying these now. These days are still taken care of by others, if I want to repay kindness, it can only be after some time has passed."

  At this point, the person in the darkness couldn't help but feel a pang of melancholy. He sighed for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said: "As the saying goes, it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. Instead of saving me once, why not teach me your family's secret techniques? That way, when those little rascals come looking for trouble in the future, I can deal with them myself?"

  She thought the more she was suitable, and besides, at her age, she always wanted to take in a disciple. She strongly recommended: "Don't look at me like this now, it's really an unexpected situation that has never happened in a thousand years. In fact, our generation's heart technique is very powerful, divided into male and female techniques. Our female technique is especially suitable for women to cultivate, advancing can be used to fight against enemies, retreating can be used to detoxify and nourish the skin! Within three years, I will definitely make your body slender like a swallow, beautiful like a flower! Of course, it's best for women to cultivate, men cultivating have the same effect, and only need to castrate themselves to cough...cough..."

  The woman in the cave suddenly became aware that she had misspoken and hastily coughed to cover it up, changing her words: "Cough, cough, I mean... men's cultivation, I'll recommend it to my senior brother! Let him learn men's skills! Let him learn men's skills!"

  After finishing speaking, she hurriedly and worriedly went to look at that little fox, fearing that the other party had been scared by her.

  However, Xiao Bai Hu simply maintained her previous expression and looked at her in confusion, watching as she muttered to herself and tilted her head slightly.

  That person let out a sigh of relief, but also felt a bit apprehensive. Upon careful consideration, although she had lived in this cave for some time, she still didn't know whether the little white fox that accompanied her day and night was male or female. She wasn't from Qingqiu, so it would be too difficult to expect her to judge an animal's sex based solely on its face before it had fully transformed.

  Originally because she had been with girls for many years, seeing the pretty and clever little white fox, she subconsciously thought it was a girl, but now that it involves martial arts, this kind of thinking seems to be somewhat unscrupulous.

  The woman thought for a moment, then stared at the little white fox, trying to figure out what was going on. But the little white fox didn't notice her thoughts and happily curled up in place to rest. After a while, she somehow lifted her head again, poking her head into the small puddle of water on the ground.

  The cave was damp, and the low-hanging icicles on the stone pillars would form puddles of water on the uneven ground, which could serve as a mirror. The woman watched as the little white fox carefully looked at its reflection in the puddle, then used its paw to rub its forehead vigorously, only to see that the birthmark was still there. It lay down dejectedly, its ears drooping.

  The girl was taken aback.

  She had actually felt that this little fox, although not speaking human language and appearing to be unenlightened, was not entirely ignorant. She was roughly in a state of ignorance, half-understanding the spiritual things of this world, with her spirituality vaguely opening up, but still being obtuse.

  She has been wounded and fallen to this place for only a few days, but the three foxes before seemed to have bullied the little white fox for a long time. The little white fox didn't understand the malice of the world, but in her daze, she could sense that their behavior towards her was related to the birthmark on her forehead, so although she didn't understand human emotions and worldly affairs, she couldn't help but care about that birthmark.

  The woman pursed her lips and said that it was strange, she had also wanted to take on apprentices in the past, but her standards were too high and no one could meet them. Even her senior fellow disciple said she was too picky, yet now she felt a sense of fate.

  Perhaps because the other party saved her, she thought this little fox was flawless and sincerely wanted to take her as a disciple. She tried again: "Actually, I don't think the red mark on my forehead looks bad, but I'm not very clear about the aesthetics of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, so let's not say more. If you really don't like this birthmark, worship me as your master, learn my skills, and in the future, I will help you find a way to get rid of it, what do you think?"

  The girl spoke sincerely, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of genuine expression. If her ancestors saw her being so arrogant and still having such an expression, they would definitely be surprised.

  The little white fox looked at her with a puzzled expression, tilting his head to the side and asking: "...... Wooo?"

  Woman: “......”

  She let out a soft sigh, no matter how much she liked this little white fox, in this situation, there was no way to forcibly take her as an apprentice.

  It was just that she had saved her life, and if she only helped her chase away a few fox tribe bear children, it would be detrimental to her reputation.

  The girl thought for a moment, then felt around her body and somehow produced a golden feather. She transformed the golden feather in her hand into a small golden bell with a floral pattern, threaded it onto a red string, and hung it from the little white fox's neck.

  She said: "This object is called the Golden Feather Bell, and it will serve as a token of faith between us. Whoever holds this object, my people will show three points of respect, and if there's anything they can help with, they'll do their best to assist. Moreover, I'm willing to make a promise with this object: in the future, if you have any requests, come to the south and mention my name - as long as it's within my power, I will definitely fulfill that promise! And remember——"

  "My name is Fei Xia! If you have any business with my people, just mention my name. Remember it well, don't forget!"

  The little white fox wandered around, making "woo woo" sounds twice. Her attention was drawn to the small bell on her neck that had just been tied up, and she occasionally used her paws to fiddle with it. As she moved, the small golden bell on her neck made a crisp "ding ding dang" sound.

  As expected, even a little fox who had not yet opened her spiritual wisdom did not dislike this kind of bright and shiny decoration. She played with it for a while, then stood up happily and jumped around to make the bells ring out more sounds.

  The girl looked at her with such joy, and couldn't help but smile. Even if the little white fox didn't know what was going on now, once she gained full spiritual awareness, she would have some impression of her name. Fei Xia wasn't worried that she would forget... Just as Fei Xia thought for a moment, she said: "Come to think of it, since this bell has been given, we should make an imprint between us. Those rabbits previously said there was no name... Hmm..."

  She thought for a moment and then clapped her hands decisively: "I'm also not good at naming, this white mass will be called Yunmian!"

  However, she repeated the name in her mouth twice and felt that giving the little fox such a serious name would lose some of its cuteness. She said: "The nickname is called Tuantuan! In the future, I will call Tuantuan, and my husband can shout Meng'er."

  As she spoke, she tied the name together with her own on the golden bell, turned her head to see the little white fox still staring at her with "Wu Wu", and couldn't help but hug her into her arms, shouting "Tuan Tuan" several times.

  Tuantuan listened and knew she was being called, her consciousness was hazy, but she also knew that this name was much friendlier and cuter than "Little Clown Eight Monsters", so she happily rolled around in the woman's arms.

  The woman was originally happy to play with her, but after a while, she became melancholic again. She and her husband had been married for thousands of years without children, and in the past few days, they had even given the little fox in their arms a name, treating it as if it were their own daughter... Of course, it was also possible that it was a son, but she believed it was a daughter. At this moment, she felt a pang of reluctance and regret, wondering why she had brought up such a topic.

  She couldn't help but lift the little white fox to her face, looking at its clear and innocent fox eyes, and sighed: "Alas, Tuantuan, born so lovely, I wonder who will call you 'Sleepy' in the future?"

  ……

  At this time, Hu Qi was just driving away the few unwanted fox cubs and returned to the carriage in a huff. He lifted the curtain and saw that his master was sitting upright with his eyes closed, deep in thought. When he felt the curtain being opened, he slowly opened his eyes and looked over.

  "Hu Qi looked at the young man in the carriage, who was elegant and refined, with a noble air about him. 'Young Master,' he said, 'I've already chased those little kids away. They wanted to run, but I caught them and taught them a lesson! I also told the other foxes around here to keep an eye on them, so they won't bother any girls again.'"

  Hú Qī has always been meticulous in his work, no wonder he's been gone for a while.

  The young man nodded slightly and looked in the direction of the fox den in the mountains. For some reason, he couldn't help but think about the girl's eyes when she turned her head for a moment. After thinking for a while, he asked: "May I ask, why did they bully that girl?"

  "I asked."

  "She seems to be a lonely orphan living nearby, already twelve or thirteen years old. She's one of the foxes that will worship the moon together on the fifteenth of next month, but her spiritual awareness has not yet awakened. Her spiritual awareness is probably a bit dull, but she's definitely a spirit fox. It's not uncommon for foxes to awaken late... However, those little boys see that her spiritual awareness is slow and her appearance is also somewhat different, so they often come to play tricks on her since she doesn't have parents to take care of her."

  The young man nodded slightly and thought for a moment before asking: "What's that girl's name?"

  Hù Qī looked a bit embarrassed and said, "It seems like she doesn't have a name... Those stinky little brats call her Chǒu Bā Guài, but that can't be counted. I reckon on the day of the Moon Offering, if she herself doesn't have any thoughts about it, then it'll probably be up to these older fox elders around here. That little white fox is also quite pitiful, I'll come over again in a few days to take care of her."

  The boy nodded and stopped asking questions.

  Hú Qī saw this and closed the carriage curtains.

  The jade wheel axle spun round and round, continuing to head in the direction of the Fox Palace. Halfway there, the young man had been closing his eyes and concentrating, when he suddenly heard Hu Qi's distressed "Aiya" and slapped himself on the forehead.

  The young man raised his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"

  Huli regretted, "I forgot to ask those young men's names! I was planning to ask about their situation later, so they wouldn't make the same mistake again. There are many little foxes in Qingqiu, and now that they're let go, it'll be hard to find them... Moreover, Master Fox and his wife instructed that next month, after the full moon, besides your fiancée, we need to select a few suitable young foxes as disciples for the Fox Palace. Those boys seemed like a good age and had decent skills..."

  "Never mind."

  The young man didn't seem to mind, but he did have some concerns, so he said: "Let's just take a look at that girl over there. As long as they don't bother us again, it's fine."

  The fox is called seven.

  The divine carriage went on its way and soon arrived at the upper reaches of the Si River, where a beautiful and elegant fairy palace gradually appeared before their eyes, blending into the mountains and forests.

  The five-tailed foxes skillfully stopped their chariots in front of the temple, "Aooo" excitedly raised their heads and howled, as if they had a very enjoyable run. After finishing their calls, they transformed into human forms, putting their shoulders together and walking away separately.

  Hú Qī supported the young man as he got out of the carriage, and the two of them entered the palace together. As soon as they stepped into the palace, a woman dressed in magnificent clothes came forward to greet them.
