Fox Spirit: One Sword Sweeps the World

At the time, I wondered how miserable his past must have been to make him hate humanity so much.

Meanwhile, Tu Shan Ya Ya had already rushed into her room. She carefully opened the cupboard and took out the small box that she had prepared beforehand.

The peach blossom cake inside was cut into small diamond shapes, each piece inlaid with fresh peach petals, and thinly coated with icing sugar, giving it a crystal-clear sheen.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she silently murmured to herself: "You have to like it, you have to like it..."

After all… this was the result of her hard work for a very, very long time.

As Tu Shan Rongrong rounded the corridor, she saw that the bamboo curtain of the clinic was half-lifted, and soft sounds came from inside.

"Sister Cui, what are you doing?"

"Oh my god!" Cuiyu's hand trembled, and the sunflower seed shells fell onto her clothes. She patted her chest and turned around, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Rongrong.

"Why did you suddenly come here? I thought it was that cold-blooded kid who came looking for me. You gave me a fright."

Rongrong looked at Cuiyuling and saw an open dish of melon seeds next to Cuiyuling's legs, with half a handful of melon seeds in her hand.

His other hand rested on a wine glass, the wine swirling at the bottom.

Looking again at the soft couch in the corner of the room, Dongfang Guyue was lying there, her complexion had improved, but her brows were still slightly furrowed.

Hmm? Sunflower seeds with red wine?

No, that's not important.

"Sister Cui, what's wrong with him...?"

She raised her chin slightly in the direction of the lonely moon in the east.

"Hey, you mean him?"

Cuiyu Ling nodded towards the lonely moon in the east, cracked off the melon seed shells, and threw the kernels into her mouth.

“This old man was poisoned too deeply before. Although I used herbs to help him expel most of the toxins, some still seeped into the surface of his meridians. We can’t rush it; we have to use gentle medicine to slowly force them out. I’m keeping an eye on things here.”

"So it's almost cured, but it will take some time to completely cure it, right?"

Rongrong nodded knowingly.

“That’s right! Rongrong, you’re so smart, you get it right away.” Cui Yuling put down the melon seeds, picked up her glass of red wine and took a sip, then suddenly changed the subject and winked.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say this morning that you were going to help Ya Ya keep an eye on her... 'young man' and give her some 'help'? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Tu Shan Rongrong simply smiled and shook her head.

"I think they're fine as they are, they don't need any external interference."

"Hehehe, I knew it!"

Cui Yuling put down her wine glass, clapped her hands, and smiled with her eyes crinkling. "When it comes to relationships, the worst thing is to interfere. It's best to let things take their natural course. Things that are forced are tasteless."

Rongrong raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing: "Oh? Sister Cui seems to know a lot about this. Does she have some insights?"

"Hey, what's so difficult about that?"

Cui Yuling suddenly dropped what she was holding and looked at Tu Shan Rongrong with a serious expression.

"Read more books, and you can do it too."

"By the way, would you like some sunflower seeds?"

"No, thank you..."

"Hey, no need to be so polite, it's all unnecessary."

"By the way, if you're really starving, you can force it."

"Hahaha, just kidding."

"At the very least, he should be knocked unconscious. After all, that kid is quite strong. Right now, in the entire Tushan... I reckon only Honghong can beat him."

Tu Shan Ya Ya held a piece of osmanthus rice cake between her fingertips, with a few golden osmanthus flowers still clinging to the edge of the white cake.

She gently brought it to Mu Qinghan's lips, her voice soft.

"Here, have a taste."

Mu Qinghan raised his head slightly, looked at the expectation in Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes, paused for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and finally reached out to take the pastry.

Seeing that he didn't bite directly, Tu Shan Ya Ya couldn't help but pout, but still had a smile on her face.

She leaned forward slightly, resting her elbows on the edge of the table, watching his movements with expectant eyes, even her breathing became lighter.

As soon as Mu Qinghan put the pastry in his mouth, she immediately asked him a question, her voice beaming with joy.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

The sweetness of the rice cake melts on the tongue, and the fragrance of osmanthus mingles with the delicate aroma of rice.

It's very soft, without any rough or grainy texture.

Mu Qinghan chewed, "It tastes very good, more delicate than what I've had before, and doesn't seem like the result of only learning for a few days."

Tu Shan Ya Ya immediately laughed, her eyes curving into crescents, and said proudly, "That means I'm amazing! I'm a genius in this field!"

"Mm." Mu Qinghan didn't refute, but simply nodded slightly.

It tastes really good.

He picked up another piece and ate it.

Tu Shan Ya Ya rested her chin on her hand, her elbow on the table, her gaze fixed on his face.

It wasn't until Mu Qinghan picked up the third pastry that she finally noticed the gaze that had never left her.

He paused, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he looked up at her, his tone was somewhat puzzled.

Why are you staring at me? Aren't you going to eat?

Tu Shan Ya Ya didn't look away, but smiled even more softly, "I'll just watch you eat. If you're happy eating, I'll be happy too."

Mu Qinghan's eyes widened slightly, then she lowered her head.

"up to you."

Tu Shan Ya Ya pushed the food box to the corner of the table, put her hands on her hips, tilted her chin up, and looked smug.

"Hehehe, aren't you touched? Don't you think I, Tu Shan Ya Ya, am so selfless and so great?"

Mu Qinghan had just swallowed the last bite of pastry when he heard her words. He shook his head helplessly, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he looked up.

"Stupid fox..."

"Hey Hey hey!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya immediately bristled and reached out to poke his arm, but he gently dodged her by turning his body slightly.

She puffed out her cheeks, her tone full of indignation, "Stop calling people stupid, they're very smart, okay!"

"Besides you, if anyone else dared to speak to me like that, I would have frozen them into an ice sculpture and thrown them into the back of Tushan Mountain as a decoration!"

Looking at her sullen expression, Mu Qinghan tapped the corner of the table with his fingertip. "Freeze me? You're no match for me."

"Hmph!" Tu Shan Ya Ya snorted softly, but did not refute him again. She simply shuffled her toes lightly on the ground, her gaze falling on the stray hairs at his temples, and her tone suddenly softened.

"I can't beat you now, but when you're old, your hair is white, and you can't fight anymore, see how I'll bully you—I'll make you peel sunflower seeds for me every day, and I won't even let you eat them!"

"When I get old..."

Mu Qinghan repeated the sentence in a low voice, his fingertips pausing for a moment.

He looked up at the sky, where the afternoon sun was shining on the large locust tree overhead, casting dappled light on his body.

He looked at the icing on his fingertips, then at the earnest girl in front of him, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

"maybe…"

"Hey hey hey!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya immediately seized the opportunity, her eyes shining, and leaned forward again.

"Maybe we won't have to wait that long at all!"

"I, Tu Shan Ya Ya, am naturally beautiful. In three to five years, I will definitely be able to cultivate directly to the Demon Emperor level! At that time, you will definitely be no match for me!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qinghan sighed and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. "It means you're exceptionally talented, you silly fox. 'Naturally beautiful' means you're good-looking."

As soon as she said that, Tu Shan Ya Ya's eyes lit up even more, and her tone was full of joy.

"Do you think I'm pretty too? Everyone says that all the time!"

Mu Qinghan stared at Tu Shan Ya Ya's bright eyes, momentarily unable to keep up with her amazing thought process.

He opened his mouth, wanting to continue the conversation, but in the end it only turned into a very soft sigh, and he fell silent, which was rare for him.

"Pfft! Hahaha—"

Seeing his slightly furrowed brows, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his eyes filled with speechlessness, Tu Shan Ya Ya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter was crisp and unrestrained, causing her shoulders to tremble slightly.

The curves outlined by the front of her clothes rose and fell with her movements, making people dizzy.

Mu Qinghan's gaze swept over it subconsciously, then quickly looked away.

A vixen with big pectoral muscles...

The sweet fragrance in the air suddenly intensified, and Tu Shan Ya Ya moved closer again without anyone noticing.

Mu Qinghan could clearly feel the warmth emanating from her body, and every breath he took brushed past his ear was filled with a faint sweetness, causing his fingertips to tighten inexplicably.

The girl, who had been laughing so boldly just moments before, now had a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks, like clouds dyed by the sunset.

Even the cunning in his eyes faded, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.

Mu Qinghan was bewildered by this sudden change, feeling her heart beat a beat faster for no apparent reason, but she kept her head down.

Just as a soft strand of hair gently brushed against his cheek, with a velvety touch, and the girl's weight leaned slightly on his shoulder, her warm breath almost touching his neck, Mu Qinghan suddenly looked up.

His gaze met her bright, sparkling eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he frowned deeply. "What are you going to do?"

Seeing his unnatural expression, Tu Shan Ya Ya's previous seriousness instantly vanished, replaced by a wide smile, her eyes crinkling.
