Jiang Huai hesitated slightly.
The first time Su Qingyi smelled his Nine-tailed Fox Clan bloodline, she had collapsed, clamping her legs together. She had transformed from a cold fox into a gushing fountain. These past few days, she had gradually become accustomed to it, and it had gotten a little better, but her underwear would still get wet. So, she had become clever. Before smelling him, she would take off her underwear to avoid getting wet.
Genius Su Qingyi!
But since Su Qiang had spoken up now, Jiang Huai thought that if Su Qingyi could barely control herself, Su Qiang should be able to as well. Therefore, he still activated the Nine-tailed Fox Clan bloodline within his body, transforming his fox tail and ears. His entire aura underwent a completely different change. His dark eyes turned light pink as he looked at Su Qiang.
Su Qiang’s body stiffened for a moment, as if struck by lightning.
The instant she saw those eyes, Su Qiang’s body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if she had been electrocuted. Her skin tingled, a sensation that seemed to come from within, causing her body to involuntarily arch slightly. Her calves under the table tensed tightly, her tiptoes touching the ground, yet her legs couldn’t help but press together.
Su Qiang raised a finger, her delicate pink lips parting slightly. She bit down on her slender, tender white finger. The previously cold expression on her face was now covered in pink. She bit her finger, and the pain brought a sliver of clarity to her consciousness, but her tiptoes remained tense, and her breathing became rapid. Jiang Huai, sitting beside her, asked with a hint of unease, “Do you need me to retract it?”
Su Qiang shook her head.
So, Jiang Huai sat there innocently, blinking as he watched the changes in Su Qiang. Her fox ears seemed to be trembling slightly, but compared to Su Qingyi, she seemed to be more restrained. Yet, her legs continued to tremble, looking just like when Jiang Huai teased Wanwan with his fingertips.
Su Qiang’s body arched slightly like a shrimp, then pressed tightly against the back of the chair. She tilted her head back, and after a while, she released the teeth biting her finger. Looking at the crystal-clear water stain on her fingertip, she raised the back of her hand and wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, she could already feel the stickiness on her underwear. She looked at Jiang Huai, but before she could say anything, Su Qingyi, who had just cleaned up the dishes, ran out of the kitchen. Her fox ears twitched, and she practically rushed over in an instant, straddling Jiang Huai. She lifted her legs, clamping them around his waist, and then cupped his face with her hands. She moved closer, rubbing her cheek against his, muttering, “Suck fox, suck fox.”
Jiang Huai casually grabbed her incessantly swaying tail and whispered into her ear, “Your mother has agreed for you to stay in the Eastern Region.”
“Huh?” Su Qingyi was startled at first, then looked back at Su Qiang, who was still in a somewhat strange state. Jiang Huai then retracted his fox form slightly. Su Qiang recovered a little and said to Su Qingyi, “If you want to stay here, then stay for a while longer.”
“Ah!” Su Qingyi’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Mm.” Su Qiang nodded gently. Su Qingyi immediately got off Jiang Huai and threw herself into Su Qiang’s arms. She moved close, rubbing her cheek against Su Qiang’s chest, her voice becoming very soft and sweet, “Mother is so good.”
Su Qiang reached out and gently stroked her back.
…
Su Qingyi invited her mother to stay in the courtyard for another two days, and Su Qiang agreed. So, Su Qingyi excitedly started preparing a room for her. Su Qiang watched Su Qingyi making the bed and suddenly said softly, “Actually… you like him, right?”
Su Qingyi’s fox ears perked up, and she answered with a hint of guilt, “How did Mother guess?”
“Firstly, he has the Nine-tailed Fox Clan bloodline. Secondly… even when he didn’t activate that bloodline, the way you looked at him wasn’t faked.”
Su Qingyi became a little embarrassed and wagged her tail. “I suppose I like him, but he doesn’t want to have fox cubs, and I don’t want to have fox cubs either. I just want to stay in the Eastern Region for a while longer, so I told Mother that…”
“You silly girl.” Su Qiang shook her head helplessly. “Since you like him, you should strive for him.”
“Okay, okay.” Su Qingyi smoothed out the bedsheet. “Since coming to the Eastern Region, I feel like I’ve changed. I have so many things I want to tell you, Mother. In the past, the Fox Clan always worried me, and I never had the chance to say many things.”
“I also bought so many beautiful dresses and accessories! Mother, hurry and pick some you like.”
…
The matter of Su Qingyi being taken back to the Western Region was resolved. Jiang Huai, feeling relieved, returned to his own courtyard. Chu Xianning was quietly drinking tea in the courtyard, flipping through a book. The moment she heard footsteps, she instantly put the book away. Jiang Huai looked at Chu Xianning’s eyebrows and eyes and blinked innocently, “Master, what book were you reading just now?”
“An ancient scroll.”
But Jiang Huai found the cover very familiar, just like one of his A Mumu’s famous works.
A flicker of guilt flashed in Chu Xianning’s eyes. After a moment, she calmly said, “Is the matter concerning that Grand Princess of the Fox Clan settled?”
“Yes, it’s considered settled. Her mother is staying at Wanwan’s place for two days and isn’t taking her back yet.”
Chu Xianning replied softly and didn’t ask further questions. Jiang Huai sat down opposite her. Today, Chu Xianning wasn’t wearing white socks under her calves. Instead, she was wearing delicate heeled sandals that revealed her toes. On her tender, crystal-clear toes, there was the pale pink nail polish that Jiang Huai had applied for her a few days ago.
Master’s tender white feet were delicate and exquisite, looking good no matter what color they were painted. When he was painting them, Jiang Huai remembered the scene last time when Chu Xianning rewarded him, and she had stepped on him through his pants, stating coldly that he was not allowed to think about it anymore.
Jiang Huai was counting the days. In two or three more days, Chu Xianning would feed him flower dew, and his sea of qi would be completely reshaped. It hadn’t even been a year since he had abolished his cultivation.
Chu Xianning leaned back in her chair, her legs crossed under her long dress. Her slender, crystal-clear ankle was delicate and exquisite. This pose was as if she had learned from Luo Yueguan. Jiang Huai always suspected that Chu Xianning had become increasingly lazy in the courtyard recently. He cautiously watched her, until he saw the tip of her shoe lightly tapping the toe of her sandal, swaying slightly.
So seductive.
Chu Xianning seemed to sense his gaze, and the corner of her lips curved slightly, but she pretended to be nonchalant, “Want to play chess?”
“Yes.”
The chessboard was set up again. Jiang Huai had no intention of playing chess at all. He kept thinking if Chu Xianning was deliberately teasing him. She clearly knew he would secretly peek, yet she still made such seductive movements. It was too much, and he couldn’t even concentrate on the game, losing instantly. Normally, he could last for a while.
“You need to focus when playing chess,” Chu Xianning said calmly.
“I am focused,” Jiang Huai replied unconvincingly.
Jiang Huai thought he had achieved his desire and would no longer have so many improper thoughts. But strangely, now that he had achieved his desire, he seemed to have become even more greedy. He wondered if it was time for Chu Xianning to gently reward him with her tender white feet, if she would gently lift her tender white feet and close her toes if he mentioned it when she was in a good mood.
Just then, a “ding ding ding ding” sounded in his ear again.
[The Iceberg Immortal Master Chu Xianning is actually a little scheming. Previously, out of shame, she wore white socks in the courtyard every day, completely covering her little feet. Now that they are revealed again, she is testing if you will be emboldened and is waiting for you to speak so she can punish you.]
[But you are not the obedient disciple she could knead as she pleased anymore. Seize this opportunity after Chu Xianning punishes you, grab Chu Xianning’s ankle, and bully her tender white feet instead.]
[Mission Objective: Grab Chu Xianning’s ankle and actively bully her tender white feet.]
[Mission Reward: High-level Experience Scroll *1]
Jiang Huai’s eyes twitched slightly.
Damn it, the system had completely figured out his thoughts. But the moment he heard this mission, he suddenly didn’t want to actively bully Chu Xianning anymore. Was this also a form of rebellion?
Jiang Huai ignored the mission and looked up at Chu Xianning. He looked at her current cold and indifferent demeanor, then innocently reached out and pointed at her tender white feet under the table. “Master, why are you deliberately provoking me?”
At this, Chu Xianning was slightly taken aback.
A moment later, she tilted her head and calmly, without haste or anger, retorted, “I, provoking you?”
“Yes,” Jiang Huai straightened his back and started spouting nonsense. “Master knows that when I see it, my head spins and evil thoughts arise, yet you gently sway your slender jade feet in front of me. If that’s not provocation, what is?”
Chu Xianning slightly tilted her chin up. “Say that again?”
Jiang Huai immediately shrunk his head, losing his courage.
“It’s clearly your own impure thoughts,” the corner of Chu Xianning’s lips curved slightly.
“Yes, it’s my impure thoughts. Now seeing Master’s tender white feet swaying around, I want to…”
“No thinking,” Chu Xianning’s voice was cold.
“I want to.”
“Pouting won’t work,” Chu Xianning picked up a chess piece and calmly placed it on the board. “This move no longer works on me.”
Jiang Huai placed a chess piece and gazed deeply into her eyes. But Chu Xianning ignored him. Her slender hand propped up her fragrant cheeks as she played chess calmly. Her tender white feet under the table swayed lightly from time to time. Yet, Jiang Huai could see everything clearly. Damn it, it was all the fault of his Dragon Emperor Bloodline and Overlord Art acting up!
“I want to touch them,” Jiang Huai began his most familiar tactic of attacking by retreating.
“No,” Chu Xianning still refused coldly.
Even this tactic had become immune!
Jiang Huai’s head drooped like a frost-bitten eggplant, while Chu Xianning maintained her lazy and cold demeanor. She made a move and said faintly, “If you can calm down before this game ends, I’ll let you touch them.”
As she said this, she gently kicked off her heeled sandals. A delicate and tender ice lotus jade foot approached and lightly stepped on Jiang Huai. But on the table, she still maintained her cold and dignified appearance.
She seemed to be getting more proficient. Her cold eyes no longer showed shame, but there seemed to be a hint of playful teasing and flirtatiousness hidden within.
This subtle contrast made Jiang Xiaohu’s head hurt even more.
