But her best friend, the great victim, immediately agreed, as if she couldn't wait for Xing Yuan to leave with Dao Yu Yue.
Xing Yuan: Listen to me, thank you, because of you, I feel like I'm done for!
Dao Yu Yue smiled even more gently, her sharp edges seemingly disappearing, leaving only pure joy.
She casually formed a mudra and pressed it onto Hu Xiao Jing's body, then grabbed Xing Yuan's shoulders and left.
Xing Yuan had already transformed back into a white fox, pitifully curled into a ball.
"Ying~ What does sister want to do? I'm so panicked and scared!"
Dao Yu Yue, however, merely glanced at Xing Yuan calmly, then sat on a chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and began to drink it slowly.
The slow torture of a blunt knife was the most terrifying.
Xing Yuan kept a straight face and dared not move, while Dao Yu Yue fell into reminiscence.
She had grown up in a Taoist temple. When she was five years old, she recalled memories from her past life. Later, as her cultivation improved, she became the State Preceptor of this country, guarding one side and slaying demons. However, she rarely left the capital.
In fact, although she had the memories of being Xing Yue in this life, it was only that one life, and it was fragmented, not complete. The most complete among them was the cute little beast she had raised.
Therefore, in her eyes, she believed herself to be a reincarnation, and the fox in front of her had a familiar aura, especially the look in its eyes after making a mistake just now. So, it was possible that she was the reincarnation of A Yuan.
"What is your name?" After a pause, Dao Yu Yue slowly said.
Although Xing Yuan knew nothing, she had no intention of resisting and obediently replied, "Hu Xiao Yuan."
Xiao Yuan? Dao Yu Yue was stunned, feeling that she was more like the little beast she had raised since she was young.
Unfortunately, she never had the chance to tell her her feelings until the end, which was a great regret for her.
I wonder how she fared later?
If she had also reincarnated like her, would she be the fox in front of her?
After all, her personality was indeed as cunning as a fox.
Dao Yu Yue steadied herself and said calmly, "Why have you returned to your original form?"
"Because my cultivation is not enough," Xing Yuan lowered her head in shame.
Her front paws gently dug into the ground. She was so weak that she couldn't even transform, truly weak to a certain extent.
"Come here!" Dao Yu Yue called out softly.
Even though she was still uneasy, Xing Yuan hesitantly approached.
Dao Yu Yue gently stroked Xing Yuan's head, injecting spiritual energy into her body to check her physical condition. After a long while, she let go, her expression slightly strange.
In her memory, that little beast seemed to be congenitally deficient, and so was this fox. So, was it really the person she wanted to find?
Never mind! Let nature take its course!
Thinking too much was useless!
Dao Yu Yue took out a porcelain bottle and poured out two pills. "Eat them."
Xing Yuan looked at her, then took a step forward, licked her palm, and swallowed the two pills.
The warm touch made Dao Yu Yue's palm tingle, and she uncomfortably withdrew her hand.
She gently instructed, "You are congenitally deficient. It's likely because your mother was injured or had a premature birth while carrying you. I will help you circulate your energy to heal in the next few days, and you must also work hard yourself."
Xing Yuan wagged her tail, then pounced into Dao Yu Yue's arms, intending to melt her with her cute appearance.
Sister cares about her so much, she must have forgotten about the Nanfeng Pavilion. She must work hard to make her sister never remember this matter.
Speak of the devil! Just as Xing Yuan was thinking about not letting her sister remember, Dao Yu Yue suddenly, not very gently, rubbed her head.
Her voice was mixed with barely concealed anger, "By the way, little fox, you're so young and already thinking about love? Is the Nanfeng Pavilion a place for a little fox like you to go?"
Xing Yuan's body trembled, and she rubbed against Dao Yu Yue obsequiously, whispering, "She insisted on taking me to see the world. I won't go next time."
Dao Yu Yue's anger subsided a little, and then she felt that her anger was somewhat inexplicable. Was a little fox she met for the first time worth her caring so much about?
It was just someone she might have liked in the past! She didn't care at all!
Dao Yu Yue couldn't control herself at all. Her way of venting her frustration was to rub Xing Yuan's head fiercely again.
Xing Yuan was used to it, and inexplicably found it comfortable. She made a sound from her throat and leaned against Dao Yu Yue cooperatively.
While Xing Yuan was living a life of water (open) deep (open) fire (happy) hot (heart) hot (heart), Hu Xiao Jing, in pursuit of the handsome young man, spent all her money. In desperation, she set her sights on her aunt.
She contacted her in the unique way of the fox clan. After telling her about the recent situation on the mountain and asking for some money, she told her about Hu Xiao Yuan.
The noble lady, dressed in opulent attire, was stunned when she heard Hu Xiao Jing's description. She confirmed again, "You mean she is not old, has profound cultivation, but did not harm you, and only took Xiao Yuan away?"
"Yes!" Hu Xiao Jing nodded, frowning slightly.
"I can feel that she should have no ill intentions, otherwise we would have escaped long ago! I know my aunt is very influential, could you please trouble my aunt to inquire a little?"
"No need to inquire," the noble lady waved her hand, a smile appearing on her face. "In the capital, only one person fits your description, and that is the current State Preceptor."
"However, you don't need to worry. This State Preceptor has never been afraid of us. As long as we haven't taken a life, her attitude towards us is still quite good. So, it might be Xiao Yuan's fortune to be by her side. However, I will still find an opportunity to take a look."
Having received her assurance, Hu Xiao Jing was much relieved. She shyly said, "I think I've fallen for someone."
"So soon? How many days have you been in the human world?" The noble lady was full of surprise.
She teased, "I wonder which handsome young man it is? But mortals have so many tricks! No matter what, you must not fall too deeply in love, otherwise, you will be the one to suffer in the end."
She admonished Hu Xiao Jing in the name of an elder.
Hu Xiao Jing also nodded. How could she not understand this principle? Throughout history, how many fox demons had been deeply wounded because they fell in love?
When she descended the mountain, she had vowed to win all the handsome men in the world. As a result, she saw a man of exceptionally high standards and couldn't move. She didn't want to fall in love, but this kind of thing was not truly under her control.
"Aunt! I know, it's just..." I might have to hit a wall before I can force myself to stop and give up!
