Indeed, it was a red tooth mark, like a trace of a kiss bitten out of soone.
That certainly wasn’t there yesterday!
Madam Wu was thoroughly shocked, her mouth opening and closing: "This... this... this... isn’t this Shu Da Younger Sister, isn’t she your mother?"
"Hmm... So noisy..." Shu Ci, known for her keen ears, woke up rubbing her eyes when she heard the commotion, trying to break free from Baili An’s arms.
Baili An’s gaze calmly lowered, looking at the soft white ears poking out from between his fingers.
He pressed her head back into his chest with a slightly firm hand.
Shu Ci instantly felt like her breathing was blocked by a cold, hard chest. Feeling like a stifled fox, a gurgling threatening sound erged from deep in her throat.
Baili An’s little finger inconspicuously slipped into her fox ears, gently scratching.
His movents were as skillful and tender as teasing a kitten or puppy.
His voice was low, with a hint of unconscious allure: "Be good."
His clear voice drifted lightly into her ears, making her heart rate inexplicably quicken upon waking up in the early morning.
Shu Ci shivered, like a puppy being stroked comfortably, instinctively becoming obedient.
After all... in Shu Ci’s mory, no one had ever spoken to her in such a tone.
Not only Shu Ci, who was right there, but even the elderly Madam Wu standing at the door swallowed involuntarily.
Oh dear.
She thought this was a story of a widow and orphan falling into poverty in the mountain village.
Turns out it’s a love story of a young runaway wife and a noble young master eloping together.
How could Shu Da Younger Sister, with her charming fox-like face, possibly give birth to a respectable young boy like this, when they weren’t even blood related?
Looking like a weak, well-educated young noble, who accidentally crossed paths with an enchanting young wife.
Since then, he fell madly in love, abandoning his official career and peaceful life, traveling thousands of miles with her, causing his body to be frail and sickly.
Indeed, the young boy already raised his clear, gentle eyes: "I said yesterday, she’s not my mother, you’ve misunderstood, actually she..."
"I understand, I understand, Madam Wu understands, she’s not your mother, she’s your wife, hehehe, Madam Wu made a mistake, Madam Wu made a mistake, hehehe..."
Madam Wu smiled like a blooming old chrysanthemum.
Yet in her heart, she wondered why such a young calf would specifically choose to nibble on old grass, a very peculiar preference indeed.
Baili An: "..."
...
Just as Shu Ci said yesterday, a so-called demon hunter ca to this small mountain village, drumming and gongs could be heard all day, the sound of exorcisms audible from afar.
Baili An, with his keen hearing, discerned so details from afar.
That Taoist performing the rituals, his voice indeed belonged to soone not young anymore.
But hearing those erratic chants and secret techniques, Baili An deduced the truth.
This wasn’t a demon hunter, just soone using so unorthodox side practices to con people.
The poorer and more isolated the area, the more such Taoists appeared, yet since he had no cultivation skills, there was no need to worry about him uncovering Shu Ci’s identity.
Though Baili An was eager to rid of Shu Ci’s pursuit.
Since she saved his life before, he also didn’t wish her to be captured by roadside Taoists or mages, ending up used as a blood sacrifice.
As for Shu Ci, she naturally wouldn’t use her real na with Baili An.
Baili An learned from Madam Wu calling her Shu Da Younger Sister, so he followed suit by calling her A Shu.
The quilt inside the house was old, and Shu Ci, being a fox demon with a sharp nose, couldn’t stand the musty and damp sll, so she went outside to air the quilt.
Baili An borrowed charcoal and paper from Madam Wu and wrote down his current situation.
He concealed the matter of the fox demon coveting his body, simply sending a greeting of peace, telling Yin Baishuang and others not to worry and to et directly in Shifang City in the days to co.
This was also a perfect ti to rid his body of the Thunder Intent within.
While healing his injuries, he decided to educate the seemingly not-so-bright big-breasted fox on the ways between n and won in the Mortal World.
After all, having transford into a human, her mind was still filled with thoughts of mating desires, which really wasn’t appropriate.
If she could be guided onto the right path and learn about ’One Drop of Blood’, it might prove to be a good way forward.
Spreading such a lesson saved her from wandering around seeking to exploit n, getting nothing while almost losing her fox life multiple tis.
He must seriously advise her on the principle of ’lust is a knife on top’.
Having written the letter, Baili An whistled towards the window, summoning a sparrow demon.
He placed the letter in the talons of the sparrow demon, which affectionately nuzzled his finger before spreading its wings and flying into the distance.
Just then, the sound of rustling ca from the wild grasses outside the courtyard, and Baili An looked over.
Only to see a young Taoist gawking at him, who, upon eting his gaze, quickly ran away.
"Are you feeling better? You can even summon little demons now?" Shu Ci’s voice ca from behind.
Baili An turned to look, seeing Shu Ci in plain clothes, holding a wooden basin.
In the basin, were Baili An’s clothes from a few days ago, still stained with blood.
No one knew what Madam Wu had said to her, for today she actually volunteered to wash his clothes.
It’s hard to strike a smiling face, so Baili An curved his lips, giving her a warm smile, about to speak.
