Little Moon jumped up and down: "The chapter is less than 50% off, just wait until midnight to read it!" The Qingqiu mountain has more jade in the sunny side and more green mist on the shady side. There is a beast that looks like a fox with nine tails, its sound is like an infant. —— Shan Hai Jing · Nan Ci Yi Jing

  Two thousand three hundred and fifty miles east of Mount Xihai, there is a mountain called Qingqiu. It is the hometown of the nine-tailed fox. The divine fox lives at the source of the Si River, where all around for thousands of miles are the dwellings of the fox children. Red foxes, white foxes and grey foxes live together here, taking the divine fox as their master, without any disputes with the world, spending their days playing and frolicking, living a carefree life.

  That day, the news of the fox host's only son being about to ascend to immortality spread throughout the mountains and fields in just one night.

  "Is the Fox Lord's only son? Could it be that rumored young master——"

  In a remote area of the Qingqiu Divine Fox Territory, on a small path, three young foxes who were still unable to transform their shapes were gathered together discussing the news that had come from the Fox Master's Immortal Palace at the source of the Si River.

  They were about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest was not yet fifteen. The fox-like creatures were only the size of a round fan, and they were young spirits from the Green Hill Fox clan. The leader was a red fox, while the other two were gray foxes, slightly smaller in build.

  One of the gray foxes smiled and replied, "That's right, it's that young master. I heard he is the son of the divine fox, born with nine tails, no need to worship the moon to cultivate human form, extremely talented, since childhood following his father, Fox Master, learning heart techniques and magic, studying literature and memorizing without forgetting, practicing martial arts with exceptional talent, learning immortal techniques for only a few years, defeating an older senior brother who entered the room many years ago, at this age has already entered the spiritual realm of immortals, already having the appearance of breaking through realms... Even in the vast expanse of thousands of years, among the divine foxes born with such talent are rare. Moreover, Fox Master and his wife have only one child every thousand years, naturally treating the young master as a treasure, teaching him with all their heart, loving him even more..."

  "However, I've heard that the young master had a serious illness when he was young and has been in poor health ever since... Although he's recovered now, he still rarely interacts with outsiders, is calm and reserved by nature, and speaks little. Is this true?"

  That gray fox smiled and said matter-of-factly: "Born as a divine fox... after all, there's still some pride of being a divine fox in my bones."

  He thought for a moment and said, "Most divine foxes choose an outstanding one from the clan at a young age, get engaged early, and then select a good day to get married. But our young master has gone through so many calamities at such a young age, it's hard to say how long this mortal tribulation will last. The fox masters are worried that he will miss the traditional engagement year, and when the time comes, there won't be anyone suitable for him to marry. That's why they've been thinking about choosing someone recently. The fox masters love the young master dearly, knowing that although he usually doesn't talk much, he has his own ideas. This time, they'll let him choose someone who suits his heart, and their relationship as husband and wife will be harmonious in the future."

  Another grey fox heard this and chuckled, "No wonder I saw the girls in the mountain excitedly looking for wild flowers to decorate themselves this morning. I wonder who will be chosen by the young master in the end?"

  "If it's an ordinary case, it would probably be a remarkable woman from the Shen Hu tribe who has had contact with him and is of similar age. If they were betrothed before the young master descended to the mortal world, then after he returns to heaven, she can take her time."

  The gray fox replied. However, after answering, he paused slightly and added: "However, this time the young master has had little contact with outsiders, and it's not that I've heard him mention having a close relationship with a green plum cousin or something... really can't guess who it will be in the end..."

  That gray fox had not finished speaking, when they saw the big stone beside them, where a clump of grass was swaying, and a small white fox emerged from behind the long grass that had been parted. The little fox was all snowy white, about the same size as them, with fluffy fur, and a white tail trailing behind it, but on its forehead there was an irregularly shaped red birthmark for some reason, which made it different from ordinary ones. Qingqiu Ling Foxes like to be clean, and this little fox should have been taken care of by its parents, spotless, but this white fox had no one to take care of it, and its fur was gray in several places, even though it could be seen that it had tried hard to groom its own white tail, but without anyone to teach it, it still looked a bit disheveled.

  She came back from the direction of the small stream, looking like she had just gone to drink water. She was skipping and jumping with a small fruit in her mouth, heading towards the stone opposite the fox den, seemingly in a good mood.

  As soon as he saw her appear, the gray fox's companion immediately lit up in front of his eyes, hastily interrupting his words and excitedly saying: "Quick! The Eight Clowns have arrived!"

  The one who spoke was the red fox at the head, and while the two gray foxes were chatting, he never made a sound, staring steadily at the entrance of the cave, alert to all sides, but now suddenly excited with a deep voice.

  That little fox heard someone's voice beside him and subconsciously tilted his head in confusion.

  But then the three foxes that were originally lying on the big stone got up at the same time. The red fox licked its lips, used its long tail to casually pick up a small stone, tossed it in the air, and shouted at the little white fox: "Hey! Ugly eight, look here!"

  As he spoke, he swung his long tail and knocked out the small stone that had been thrown up by him.

  That little white fox spirit has not yet opened, still in a state of ignorance, is only a fox that does not understand human affairs in the mountains and fields. Moreover, the three foxes intentionally hid their breath, how could she have expected such malice here? She didn't dare to loosen her grip on the fruit in her mouth, and in her panic, she hurriedly ran towards the direction of the fox den.

  Three foxes saw her about to run and burst out laughing, immediately chasing after her.

  Just then, the three foxes did not notice that in the sky, a jade chariot was galloping across the horizon from the east, heading towards the direction of Si River. The chariot was driven by six five-tailed red foxes, with a car body painted with moon-colored flowers, and a canopy hanging with three-color flowing tassels, fragrant leather, and precious top, extremely elegant and beautiful.

  A pale hand lifted the car curtain, revealing the outside scenery as a noise was heard from outside.

  The person in the carriage was also a young man, with eyes like a quiet pool, a straight nose bridge, and a red lotus born between his eyebrows. He wore a loose-fitting blue robe, with a belt around his waist, his figure tall and slender, his face pale, with a pair of thin eyes, yet he had the demeanor of a noble jade person.

  The young man lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside, and the young man who was originally standing outside the carriage and following it quietly stopped the horse, bowed respectfully and called out: "Young Master!"

  The young man nodded slightly.

  As soon as the car stopped, the five red foxes in front of it turned their heads and curiously looked back.

  Everyone in this line is dressed similarly, regardless of whether they are male or female foxes, with a red cord tied around their forehead and a golden bead strung in the middle of the red cord, which seems to be an ornament, but it is actually the mark of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

  The young man asked: "Young master, are there any instructions?"

  The young man looked in the direction of the mountain forest.

  Although they were walking in the clouds, the nine-tailed fox's eyesight was not ordinary. The higher their cultivation, the farther they could see, and naturally, they could see the situation in the mountains.

  He said: "Hú Qī, I heard a noise from the mountain over there, what happened?"

  The young man paused slightly, then looked in the direction where Shao Zhuang was looking. He hesitated for a moment and replied: "It seems that there are several unformed demons bullying a girl... Young Master, please wait here for a moment, I'll go stop them."

  The young man furrowed his brow and nodded slightly.

  The fox quickly transformed into a seven-tailed celestial fox and stepped on the clouds to leave.

  The young man's clear eyes lightly lifted and continued to gaze in that direction.

  Only the three boys didn't notice that an adult was rushing in their direction to scold them, and they were excitedly chasing after the little white fox. The little white fox was obviously smaller in both body and age, and its cultivation seemed to be no match for theirs. It ran around frantically, using its tail to swish at them and kicking up sand dust with its hind legs to confuse their eyes. The tree fruit it had been holding onto tightly fell out of its mouth, and it let out a mournful cry, its voice weak like that of a child. It struggled hard, trying to shake them off.

  Three big foxes were chasing after the little fox, with their backs to him. The white fox was also running away with her back to them, but suddenly she turned around while dodging, probably wanting to see if she had shaken off the three of them, but somehow her direction shifted and she looked towards Yu Bo's direction instead.

  A pair of clear, clean and bright eyes.

  The boy was taken aback.

  He knew that with the cultivation of this little fox, he couldn't see him on this side of the carriage, but for some reason, he felt like they had locked eyes for a moment. He was too focused on her eyes and didn't notice any other part of her face. However, in the next instant, the little white fox quickly looked away, continuing to run forward at high speed. Before Hu Qi could catch up, she had already crouched down and kicked her legs to enter the fox den.
