“What do you want to exchange for it?” Su Qiang asked softly.
“Huh? No need for an exchange, it’s a gift,” Jiang Huai replied softly, “I obtained this by chance, and it’s of no use to me.”
Jiang Huai had no intention of using this fox-teasing stick to cause trouble for the Fox Clan, so it was indeed useless. Su Qiang’s expression changed slightly as she looked at him, “Do you know what such a divine item signifies?”
“It’s fine, I don’t need it.”
With that, Jiang Huai temporarily unbound the fox-teasing stick from his ownership and handed it to Su Qiang. Once unbound, it lost its power. Su Qiang grasped it, injected her spiritual energy, and became its new owner.
Su Qiang was clearly in a very good mood, as her tails began to sway behind her. Looking at Jiang Huai, she hooked her lips, “From now on, if you encounter any obstacles in your cultivation, or desperately need to improve your cultivation level, you can come to me for cultivation. How about it?”
“I really don’t need it.” Jiang Huai shook his head. But in an instant, he realized that after saying this, Su Qiang seemed choked and her face turned cold with humiliation for a moment. A moment later, Jiang Huai understood.
A moment later, Jiang Huai recalled that his words seemed to insult Su Qiang, implying she was unattractive. This was not good, especially for the matriarchal Fox Clan. So, he immediately changed his tune, “If there’s an opportunity in the future, and I desperately need to improve my cultivation level, I will come to ask Aunt Su for dual cultivation.”
Su Qiang’s gradually chilling eyes softened again, and she hooked her lips, “That’s good.”

Jiang Huai was making lunch in Wanwan’s courtyard again.
Jiang Huai had to wake Wanwan up. Before she got up, Wanwan looked at Jiang Huai with a wronged expression and pointed to the soiled bedsheet. Jiang Huai was confused at first, then heard Wen Wanwan say softly, “This is what Wanwan rubbed out of her belly earlier.”
“Ew…”
Jiang Huai took out a handkerchief, wiped Wanwan clean, and then helped the lying Wen Wanwan get dressed. As autumn deepened, Wanwan wore white silk stockings under her dress, covering her slender and well-proportioned legs. After a satisfying lunch, Su Qingyi took Su Qiang to Tian Xuan Sect for a tour. Jiang Huai was basking in the sun in the courtyard, but he heard Wanwan and Fufu whispering. Fufu, who had been reading, leaned closer, puffing out her cheeks, “Did you bully older sister again last night?”
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her, “Do you want to avenge your sister?”
“Yes!” Wen Fufu pretended to lift a leg from under her black dress, as if to stomp her black silk-covered foot on Jiang Huai. Unfortunately, her ankle was grabbed by Jiang Huai, and with a gentle pull, she slipped and was immediately scooped into his arms. Wen Fufu struggled, and heard Jiang Huai say in her ear, “Since you’ve just entered Nascent Soul, I’ll help you stabilize your cultivation.”
Wen Fufu’s body was pressed onto the bed. As soon as she propped herself up, she instinctively arched her back and lifted her buttocks after Jiang Huai spanked her. But when she felt the black silk stockings covering her buttocks being torn and the cool flower dew on her buttocks, she immediately turned her head angrily, “Does bullying my buttocks count as stabilizing cultivation?”
“Everything will be taken care of,” Jiang Huai said as he slowly spread the flower dew with his fingertips.

Two days later.
Su Qiang was only staying at Tian Xuan Sect for two days. Jiang Huai had made lunch for them every day. The reason she stayed was out of concern for Su Qingyi. But seeing that Su Qingyi, Wen Wanwan, and Wen Fufu got along very well, and having learned a little about Jiang Huai, she visited Jiang Huai’s courtyard and paid a visit to Jiang Huai’s master, Chu Xianning. They chatted politely for a while.
Last night, Jiang Huai had prepared some wine, and they drank quite a bit in the courtyard. A drunken Su Qiang leaned close to him, sat on his lap, and playfully hooked his chin with her finger, asking if he really didn’t want to dual cultivate. Her tone was very much like teasing a child. Jiang Huai gently swatted her hand away, but she laughed heartily.
After all, she was sitting on Jiang Huai’s lap, and with a slight wiggle of her buttocks, she could feel the heat. Yet Jiang Huai refused so earnestly, which made her unable to stop laughing.
Today, she was leaving. Jiang Huai came to see her off. Before leaving, Su Qiang remembered to give Wen Wanwan and Wen Fufu each an expensive piece of jewelry from the Fox Clan, and even prepared a gift for Jiang Huai’s master, Chu Xianning.
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment before taking out the gift Su Qiang left him before departing.
“What is this?” Chu Xianning looked at the ball of spiritual light in her hand and asked Jiang Huai.
“This is a portion of the excess power from Su Qiang’s own bloodline that she separated when she refined the Nine-tailed Fox Clan Essence Blood I gave her. It can be used to increase the cultivation of Eighth Realm cultivators. Human cultivators can also use it, but after using it, they will also possess a trace of the Fox Clan bloodline. It’s not particularly useful, but under deliberate catalysis, one can also gain fox tails and ears like me.”
Chu Xianning said lightly, “Give it to Luo Yueguan.”
“It’s different,” Jiang Huai shook his head. “This is a gift from Su Qiang to Master, and it’s also a thank you for the Fox Clan Essence Blood I gave her last time. Luo Yueguan is currently at the Seventh Level of the Eighth Realm, so refining it won’t be of much use. But if Master refines it, her cultivation might reach the Great Perfection of the Second Level of the Eighth Realm, which would be a slight improvement for her already weak body.”
Chu Xianning still hesitated slightly. Jiang Huai immediately added, “It’s useless stuff from her anyway, and it’s a favor in return. Master, why don’t you refine it?”
Chu Xianning still had some hesitation.
But when she looked into Jiang Huai’s sincere eyes, she nodded slightly after a moment. She then crushed the ball of light, and the overflowing spiritual energy was drawn into her body. Jiang Huai stood by to protect her.
Relying on the fox saliva Su Qiang had given him a few days ago, Jiang Huai’s cultivation had already reached the Fourth Level of the Seventh Realm.
The bloodline spiritual energy left by Su Qiang was easy to refine. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chu Xianning had finished refining it. Her cultivation aura also changed. Her previously dormant First Level of Mahayana cultivation had finally broken through the bottleneck and reached the Second Level of Mahayana.
Her eyes were slightly dazed.
She hadn’t improved her cultivation in many years. The change in her cultivation level now made her feel unaccustomed to herself. Jiang Huai took out a mirror and showed her her reflection.
In the mirror, she had gained a pair of fluffy white fox ears. She could also feel a furry tail growing from the end of her spine. She could control this fox tail with her mind, but most of the time, it reacted unconsciously, following her emotions.
At this moment, her fox tail was swaying unconsciously, seeming to indicate she was in a good mood.
Jiang Huai was slightly stunned.
Indeed, no matter how cold and aloof a person was, with a pair of beast ears, they would become incredibly cute.
Jiang Huai immediately reached out mischievously, “Master, can I touch your tail too?”
Instantly, Chu Xianning’s fox tail and ears disappeared. She raised her eyes, looked at Jiang Huai, and tilted her chin slightly, “No.”
“Hmph, when you used to play with my tail, you never knew how it felt to have your tail played with. If I touch your tail now, you’ll understand how… awkward I felt back then.”
“As if I didn’t coax you after playing with your tail,” Chu Xianning turned her face away. After hesitating for a long time, she said softly, “Thank you.”
But Jiang Huai was already behind her, reaching out and gently pinching her shoulder. He said, “Only ordinary friends say thank you. How can a master thank a disciple? Everything I have should be Master’s. Master, don’t say that again next time, or I’ll sneak a kiss when you’re asleep.”
No matter how many times, Chu Xianning’s body would instinctively tense up when he touched her. Jiang Huai gently kneaded her back. Chu Xianning looked straight ahead, and after a long while, she quietly said, “Tonight… it’s okay.”
“Okay, I’m ready,” Jiang Huai replied softly.
***
The clear night was dustless, and the moonlight was like silver.
Chu Xianning had bathed early and changed into a light white nightgown. As she walked out of the bathhouse, Jiang Huai was waiting outside, his eyes smiling. Both of them knew what was about to happen, so seeing the smile in Jiang Huai’s eyes, Chu Xianning’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure. As she passed by him, her white and tender little feet stomped on his.
Jiang Huai decided to stick out his tongue a little longer when he kissed Chu Xianning later! Hmph!
After he also finished bathing, he went to Chu Xianning’s room. The door was slightly ajar. Chu Xianning was sitting by the table, writing in her diary. Seeing Jiang Huai enter, she looked at him with cold eyes and threw a ribbon into his hand, saying lightly, “Blindfold yourself and lie down on the bed.”
Here we go again.
Once Chu Xianning’s sense of shame reached its limit, her eyes would become extremely cold. This was Chu Xianning’s mask. But Jiang Huai had no choice but to obey and lie down on the bed with his eyes blindfolded. Through the white gauze, he could only see a hazy blur. A moment later, he felt all the lights in the room being extinguished.
Chu Xianning stood up and sat on his chest.
“Master, sit a little further forward…”
Chu Xianning shifted her buttocks under her skirt. Her hands were now gently lifting the rolled-up hem, her knees pressing against the bed, and she moved a few inches forward with dissatisfaction.
“A little further forward…”
Chu Xianning shifted again, her snow-white, slender thighs clamping his face.
Jiang Huai’s kiss was initially gentle. Chu Xianning’s toes tensed and then slowly relaxed, but gradually her body began to soften and weaken. She tried to keep her toes tense to sit still, but after a while, she heard Jiang Huai say, “Master, it must be tiring to hold your waist like that, right?”
“Why don’t Master rest for a while?”
The room fell silent. After a long while, the weight on Jiang Huai’s chest disappeared. He was slightly stunned, untied the blindfold, and saw Chu Xianning with her legs together, leaning against the bed. She was taking out a white ribbon and gently blindfolding her own eyes.
Sensing Jiang Huai’s gaze, she turned her face away, “Don’t do any more bad things, Jiang Huai.”
With that, her cold eyes were completely covered by the ribbon. Jiang Huai was able to slowly approach, gently lift her scattered skirt hem, and slowly spread her slender, snow-white legs apart.
Chu Xianning was still unaccustomed to such touch, and instinctively clamped her legs together. Her soft, plump thighs pressed tightly against Jiang Huai’s face. Her slender waist arched almost instinctively, like a jade bridge.
