Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, Grandparent and Grandchild, I was completely stunned. At this moment, should I agree or refuse? This is no joke; I am facing their ancestors in the Ancestral Hall.
At this time, Shaoming, who was praying on the ground, slowly turned around and bowed to me, saying, "I pay my respects to my master."
Oh my goodness, what kind of potion did you give your granddaughter? In just a short while, she has completely changed her approach.
"Isn't this a bit hasty? I haven't had any mental preparation. Old lady, how about this? Can you let me think it over?" I said with a mournful expression, helplessly negotiating with Fox Fairy Grandmother. "I still need to consult my master."
I was clearly playing tricks here. Who knows where that Pervert has gone? With this tactic, I could delay indefinitely. Haha, I'm really clever!
"No need for that; your master has already agreed." To my surprise, the old lady seemed to have anticipated my response and had already prepared a countermeasure.
"What? You know my master?"
What kind of person is that Pervert? Wenquxing knows him, Uncle Xing knows him, even Bodhi Patriarch knows him, and now another old lady knows him too. Hey, could you be the Pervert's mistress, Fox Fairy Grandmother? Otherwise, why would that Pervert care so much?
"Mr. Yin, please graciously accept Shaoming. Rest assured, starting tomorrow, Shaoming will no longer be one of us from Tushan. However, if you ever need our Fox Demon Clan's assistance in the future, I will not hesitate to help." The old lady said with great dignity.
"But, old lady, I can't teach anything." I replied. "Am I not leading her astray?"
What does a Fox Spirit want? I'm just a captain at the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs; I have no power or influence. What could I possibly teach? Besides, the Fox Spirit clan is now under the protection of the court and no longer troubled by outside disturbances. What could they possibly need from me?
I firmly believe that there are no free lunches in this world; Fox Fairy Grandmother must have some reason for lowering herself like this. However, I couldn't figure out how I could help them.
"Old lady, if there's anything you need my help with, please feel free to ask. But as for taking on a master-student relationship, I still cannot accept it. I'm just a half-baked practitioner; what qualifications do I have to be a teacher?" I still tried to persuade Fox Fairy Grandmother to give up on this idea, but it seemed she had made up her mind and was no longer listening to me; she just remained kneeling on the ground.
"Unexpected, unexpected." A teasing voice echoed from my chest into my mind: "Little Anzi, you're still so popular."
"Don't give me that sarcastic talk." I recognized it was the Pixiu, which had transformed into a jade pendant hanging around my neck, communicating with me. How could I have forgotten it? "Can you help me break this confinement?"
"I'm not good at any spells," Pixiu replied cheerfully. "But I advise you to accept that girl."
"Why?"
"She looks pretty good."
""
There are many good-looking people; can you take them all?
"Why don't you take her?"
"She doesn't fancy me. She fancies you!" Pixiu continued to tease me.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you can think of a way, do it; if not, just be quiet." I said, both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming out!" Pixiu said, transforming into a radiant light that leaped from my chest and landed on the ground, reverting to its original form.
Pixiu was no longer the 'mud dog' I first saw; it seemed capable of changing its size. Previously, it had transformed into a 'mud dog' to conserve energy. Now, if Pixiu stood upright, it would be about the same height as a person, with a short horn pointing upwards and eyes that concealed divine power. Its body was covered in scales, and its tail hung beside it, occasionally flicking.
"What is this?" Fox Fairy Grandmother looked at Pixiu in astonishment.
"Where is Yucen? Call Yucen out to reminisce," Pixiu said confidently, shaking its head and acting like a guest who had taken over at a friend's house.
However, Fox Fairy Grandmother was quite taken by this attitude and quickly reacted after her surprise.
"You are Pixiu? Lord Yucen has passed away many years ago; I have now taken over Lord Yucen's position."
"Dead, huh?" Pixiu clicked its tongue in regret, saying, "Back then, she was the youngest and most beautiful among us."
"Who is Yucen?" I asked curiously.
"I met her when we were fleeing from a divine beast. She was a five-tailed Fox Spirit," Pixiu revealed without hesitation. "At that time, Yucen was known as the most beautiful Fox Spirit among the demon clan."
"Your sweetheart?" the spirit of Gossip ignited with curiosity.
"Blind!" Pixiu was startled and quickly defended itself, "Am I that kind of person?"
"You just can't catch up, right?" Finally, it was my turn to tease Pixiu.
*Cough cough.* Fox Fairy Grandmother awkwardly cleared her throat twice. "Since Lord Pixiu has also arrived, how about I dare to invite you to witness the ceremony?"
I quickly waved at Pixiu, signaling it not to act recklessly, but I still trusted the wrong person; it wasn't just trusting the wrong dog.
"Is this how you pay your respects to your master?" Pixiu puffed up like a proud wolf and said, "No formalities for paying respects? You don't even have a ceremonial drink for your master? Is this how you Fox Spirits treat your master?"
How could I trust this mutt? It was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation. Did it really need to act so grand and imposing?
"Yes, yes, yes, it was my oversight, Mr. Yin. It was my lack of preparation. Please wait a moment, I will be ready shortly." The Fox Fairy Grandmother seemed to have suddenly realized something, as if she understood the reason for my refusal.
The Fox Fairy Grandmother hurriedly got up to prepare downstairs, leaving only me, Shaoming, and Pixiu in place. Once the Fox Fairy Grandmother had walked far away, I finally regained the ability to move freely. The first thing I wanted to do after regaining my freedom was to kick Pixiu half to death out of frustration!
Selling out teammates is one thing, but is there anyone who sells out their teammates like this? Discussing a good price right in front of me while planning to abandon Thunder Tower!
Pixiu nimbly dodged my flying kick and grinned, "Since you can't escape anyway, why not make more demands and learn to enjoy it? Besides, it could benefit me too. Why not?"
"You big-headed ghost!" I retorted angrily. "I'm a vegetarian; all the benefits will go to you anyway!"
Am I focusing on the wrong point?
"Do you really look down on me that much?" Shaoming, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
"That's not it," I replied awkwardly. "I just feel like I don't have the qualifications to teach you anything."
"You idiot," Pixiu glared at me. "Did you really think this was all about you?"
"Then what is it about?"
"You really overestimate yourself," Pixiu snorted coldly. "But your background isn't ordinary; that Daoist Robe of yours has quite a history."
Azure Flower Robe? I've always been puzzled by the magical properties of this Daoist Robe. My Azure Mana can only be cultivated in conjunction with this Daoist Robe, and the Daoist Robe under the influence of Azure Mana and ordinary mana is indeed different. Could it be that this Daoist Robe has such a significant background that even Pixiu knows about it?
"What’s wrong with my Daoist Robe?"
"Three Azure Flowers, what's wrong with you?" Pixiu seemed to realize that he had misspoken and quickly tried to cover it up.
"Three Azure Flowers? What does that mean?"
"Ahem, no, I mean, I need to go check on how things are prepared downstairs." Pixiu only finished half of his sentence before running away as if escaping.
Now, only Shaoming and I were left in the inner hall.
"Um," I awkwardly touched my nose. "Were you forced by your grandmother? If you were pressured, how about we unite on a front of resistance?"
"You look down on me," Shaoming replied succinctly.
"No, no, how could that be? I really can't be your master," I quickly denied, waving my hands.
"I volunteered," Shaoming said lightly. "My grandmother is right; I should do something for the Fox Spirit clan."
"Well, there's no need to go that far. How about this? I'll step over the line once and take you as my disciple. From now on, I'll consider you my junior sister. How does that sound?" I suggested with a bold face.
"I don't have that fortune."
Damn it, this is frustrating. Why won't you listen? Are you really a Fox Spirit? You're even more stubborn than a mule!
"What do you want from me?" I was at my wit's end. "By the way, how old are you now?"
I knew it was very impolite to ask a girl her age, but at this point, I was desperate enough to jump over a wall; I couldn't care less about manners.
"One hundred and forty years old," Shaoming said without hesitation.
"Look at you, I'm only twenty-one. I'm just a year older than half of your age. At your age, you could be my great-grandmother. This isn't appropriate!" I pleaded earnestly.
"It's different. Our Fox Spirits have a lifespan measured in thousands of years, so in that sense, I'm only fourteen," Shaoming explained very seriously.
I was at a loss for words. Can it really be calculated like that? By your logic, you're still a minor? How can someone as slender and tall as you be considered a minor? Wait, does that mean this is still illegal? What am I even thinking?
"Think it over; I really don't have anything to teach you."
"I didn't plan to learn anything," Shaoming replied lightly.
"Sister, you shouldn't look down on me like that."
"Yin!" From a distance, Pixiu came running excitedly. "Everything is ready downstairs! There’s plenty of food and lots of people! Come on down!"
Damn it, I can't shake the feeling that I've been bought at a good price. Pixiu, do you have no shame???
