Not far from the base of the mountain, the little fox sat on a tree stump, staring intently at the roasting wild deer. Unable to hold back the drool in her mouth, she anxiously asked, "When can we eat?"

"It's almost ready. Just wait a little longer," replied Lu Xun patiently.

Leaning against the deer meat, the campfire cast a warm hue on half of Lu Xun's face, a color that held an indescribable charm in the eyes of the little fox, who found herself somewhat entranced.

"By the way, what's up with those two tails behind your butt?" While roasting two large deer, Lu Xun looked at the little fox's two fluffy white tails and asked in confusion, "Sometimes I can see them, and other times I can't. And why do you have two tails?"

The little fox curled her lips and answered in a sweet tone, "I'm different from my master and sister Xuan Yin. After they transform, they appear just like ordinary humans. But I choose to keep my tails. You haven't seen them because I usually hide them. I can keep my tails hidden, but it's quite uncomfortable to do so. Also, if I get stimulated in some way, my tails might pop out."

"As for why I have two tails, it's because my ancestors were nine-tailed foxes." Speaking of her ancestors, the little fox puffed her ordinary chest out and proudly said, "When I step into the legendary Demon Saint Realm, I'll also be able to have nine tails."

"Wow."

"That's impressive, really impressive," Lu Xun teased as he watched the daydreaming little fox. "But given your current cultivation realm, it seems there's quite a gap to reach the Demon Saint Realm."

"… Can't I dream?"

The little fox pouted, huffily saying, "Are you not allowing me to dream?"

"Of course, you can." Lu Xun smiled gently and asked softly, "Is your tail the most sensitive part of your body?"

"You…"

"What are you planning?" The little fox looked at him warily, then asked leisurely, "Are you craving my body?"

"I…"

"This…" Lu Xun said with a touch of bitterness, "Are you really that eager for me to crave your body?"

"Who… who's eager!" The little fox quickly turned her head, looking at a certain spot in the forest, a faint blush spreading across her cute and delicate face. She squeaked, "I'm just being cautious. Master said to be wary of bad people at all times, and I think you're the worst person in this world. So, I need to be on guard against you all the time. Last time, I wasn't careful and you took advantage of me."

"Unintentional, completely unintentional."

Lu Xun laughed awkwardly and then said, "Have you decided where you want to go when we go down the mountain?"

"I've thought about it!" Upon hearing the plan to descend the mountain, the little fox's excitement soared. "I want to find my friend in the human world."

A friend in the human world?

The one as captivating as Immortal Miao Feng, the charming widow?

Lu Xun had heard the name "Madam Crescent Moon" before, but had never seen her in person. Still, the little fox claimed she was almost as alluring as the big demoness. Based on that, she should belong to the mature and enchanting type of woman. However, considering the little fox's tendency to exaggerate, he wasn't sure if her words were accurate.

"Oh."

"There's a lot of gossip around widows. If you're going to find her, then I won't accompany you," Lu Xun stated.

"Why?" The little fox looked at him with confusion, curious to know more.

"If I were to accompany you to her residence, it would bring about rumors and gossip about your friend," Lu Xun explained. "In this world, there's never a shortage of people who enjoy standing on the highest moral ground and using the most malicious means to endlessly humiliate the most vulnerable."

The little fox pursed her lips, roughly grasping the gist of Lu Xun's words, and murmured, "Anyone who spreads baseless rumors, I'll kill them. Besides, with my master protecting me, who dares to harm me?"

Faced with this straightforward approach, Lu Xun was left speechless for a moment. However, he couldn't deny that this method was the most direct and effective. After a brief silence, he gently said, "If you were to do that, wouldn't you make your friend quite uncomfortable?"

"I…"

"I just said that casually." The little fox pouted and muttered softly, "Since you don't want to go find her with me, then… then, I want to go to the riverside. I heard there's so much delicious food there."

"Mmm."

Lu Xun replied absentmindedly, then picked up a thick branch with a whole roasted deer skewered on it and handed it to the little fox. He said, "Sure, let's go to the riverside. But I'll say this again, when we're out, listen to me in everything. Don't act on your own, or else I won't take you out to play in the future."

"Okay!" The little fox nodded happily and eagerly took the roasted deer, promptly taking a bite.

Unbelievably, this wild deer, larger than the little fox herself, was reduced to a pile of bones within moments. And now, the little fox was already starting on a second deer. As she chewed the delicious meat, she listened to Lu Xun's retelling of the story of "Journey to the West," her expression filled with contentment.

As time slowly passed, the story of "Journey to the West" reached its conclusion. Eventually, with a reluctant sigh from the little fox, the intricate journey to the Western Heaven came to an end.

"Let's go."

"It's time to head back." Lu Xun stood up, extinguished the campfire, and turned to the somewhat dazed little fox.

The obedient little fox followed him back.

With the setting sun, on a tranquil forest path, Lu Xun strolled along the stone steps. By his side, the little fox took short strides with her small legs, walking side by side with him.

Xuan Shi secretly cast a sidelong glance at him, a feeling difficult to describe arising in her heart. She couldn't help but bite her lips lightly, then gently lifted her delicate hand, holding onto his fingers.

"I can't walk anymore. Hold my hand." The little fox lowered her head and even turned her face away, allowing a few strands of her hair to conceal her current expression.

Lu Xun didn't say a word, simply gently holding onto her small hand.

Like this, they strolled along the mountain path, not speaking to each other but instinctively slowing their steps.

Although the road was long, it ultimately had an end.

Upon reaching the entrance, the little fox suddenly released his hand, hurriedly running inside, leaving Lu Xun standing there.

Back in her own room, the little fox immediately dove into the blankets. Her face, burning with heat, was buried deep within them, and her little legs kept kicking. What was I doing just now? Why did I suddenly grab his hand? Oh my, oh my. I'm going to die of embarrassment.

This… this all started with holding his hand. If this continues, before long, it will… it will…

For a moment, her mind was a whirlwind of emotions.

Flashes of scenes from the drawings in the book swept through her mind. The more she thought, the more ashamed she felt, and the redder her face became, to the point where she even started feeling hot.

However, when the image of Xuan Yin emerged in her mind, it instantly extinguished the flames of desire within the little fox's heart.

Shame, helplessness, and confusion overwhelmed her.

"Sister."

"What should I do?"

"I clearly know that this is wrong, but I… I…" The little fox turned over and looked at the canopy above, her face filled with sorrow and distress.

….

On this fifth day, Xuan Yin was no different from the previous day. Fierce, forceful, and impulsive, Lu Xun used all his skills and spent three hours to finally bring the unruly demoness back to reality on the open space in front of the small wooden house. He almost strained his back doing so.

Dawn was about to break, and in a warm pool at the foot of the mountain, the little demoness lay on top of Lu Xun, her delicate hand gently caressing his strong chest. A hint of melancholic spring sentiment appeared in her brows, while Lu Xun seemed quite exhausted.

"Husband."

"Nervous?" The little demoness bit his chest and said in a sweet voice, "It's the sixth day now."

Lu Xun snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the little demoness in his arms. He said wistfully, "It's okay. In any case, your husband will do his best."

"Mmm."

The little demoness pursed her lips and murmured softly, "Husband… later, you go back first. Not to your room, but to the small wooden house behind the mountain. Wait for me in bed. I'll go ask Master for more recovery pills. When I come back, you'll take one immediately, and then… then we'll…"

Huh?

This… this…

Hearing Xuan Yin's words, Lu Xun's scalp almost exploded. He stammered, "Wife… I haven't rested the whole night. Are we starting right away? And why do you need so many pills? Could it be that you're planning…"

"The last two days of the Yin phase are abnormally fierce. I need you to continuously suppress it for me." The little demoness softly explained, "As for the sixth day's Yin, I don't know when it will happen. To be safe, it's better to keep taking the pills continuously from morning until the end of the seventh day. About… around twenty-four hours."

As she finished speaking, the little demoness lifted her head, looked at her despairing husband, and burst into laughter. She reached out and lightly touched his cheek, whispering, "Don't panic. I asked Master for over a hundred pills. You'll take three pills every hour."

My god!

Is this… is this human talk? Oh, I almost forgot, she's not human.

Lu Xun was trembling all over, his mouth opened, and the words at the tip of his tongue lingered for a long time, but he couldn't speak them out.

"Husband."

"Just for two days and nights."

The little demoness gently kissed his cheek. Her almond-shaped eyes gazed at him affectionately and dazedly, filled with a misty allure. She said tenderly, "Once we pass this trial, I'll be back to normal. Please, husband, just spend two days and nights cultivating with me."

After speaking, the little demoness propped herself up, her plump lips approached his ear, and she whispered, "Husband… there's something you might not know yet. One night, Master secretly gave me an ancient secret technique. It's full of all sorts of methods for dual cultivation. Once we get through this trial, I'll study with you every night. How do you feel about that?"

Since Lu Xun was hesitating, the little demoness bit her lip and whispered silently in his ear, continuing to entice him, "Husband."

"Inside it, there's… there's…"

The more she spoke, the shyer she got, the redder her face became. Meanwhile, Lu Xun grew more excited and eager as he listened.

"Hurry!"

"I'm going back now. You hurry and go find your Master!"
