In the early morning, after lazing in bed for a while, Li Shishi got up, washed up, and put on a beautiful outfit.
At this moment, a certain little fox in her nest was still sleeping incredibly soundly, occasionally smacking her little mouth, clearly dreaming of something delicious.
Li Shishi walked over, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes. She leaned close to that furry little ear and whispered, “Yingying, time for breakfast!”
“Today, Senior Brother made lots of yummy food. There’s steamed Fire Crab, braised Spirit-Tail Chicken, Purple Smoke Fish Soup, and also…”
After listing several familiar Spirit Meal names in a row, little fox Yingying’s ears suddenly perked up, and her petite body trembled nonstop.
“Slurp… (￣￢￣)!”
She then abruptly opened her fox eyes, twitched her pink little nose, and meticulously searched for the source of the aroma, preparing to rush over at the fastest speed possible.
But after sniffing for a while, little fox Yingying froze on the spot.
She couldn’t detect the scent of Spirit Meals at all.
“Yingying… (￣^￣)!”
Realizing she had been tricked, the little fox looked very displeasedly towards Li Shishi.
The latter merely smiled slightly and produced two plump Spirit Fruits exuding a delicate fragrance from her Storage Ring.
“Yingying, do you know who Senior Brother has been with recently? A man or a woman?”
Li Shishi suspected her Senior Brother was having an outside affair. She didn’t want to ask directly, so she inquired of this gluttonous little fox.
“Yingying!”
To this, the little fox’s dissatisfaction disappeared, but she shook her head, indicating that two stalks weren’t enough; she needed more.
Having spent a period of extreme abundance in Xiaoxiang Elegant Garden, bribing her couldn’t be done with just these two Spirit Fruits now.
She had many such Spirit Fruits in her Storage Ring, but that didn’t hinder her enjoyment of the joy of freeloading.
Seeing this familiar scene, Li Shishi gritted her teeth in anger. But because she needed the fox’s help, she could only bring out two more Spirit Fruits.
These Spirit Fruits looked plump and glistening, incredibly tempting. One bite would be wonderfully sweet and delicious.
If not for needing to ask about matters concerning Senior Brother, she would never give them to this dumb fox.
“Yingying! (Happy)”
Seeing this, the little fox quickly pulled these four Spirit Fruits to her side, letting out an “Ah-woo” and eagerly taking a bite.
Feeling that sweet taste bloom on her taste buds, she squinted her fox eyes, her three furry Fox Tails swaying nonstop.
Li Shishi glanced at her and asked expressionlessly, “Yingying, tell me: has Senior Brother been with a man recently, or a woman?”
“Yingying!”
The little fox pointed at her, indicating it was a woman, like her.
Li Shishi: “Is she good-looking?”
Little fox: “Yingying??”
Clearly, she didn’t understand what “good-looking” meant.
“Let me put it another way!”
Li Shishi pointed at her own ample bosom and asked again, “Is she big here?”
In her view, to judge whether a woman was good-looking and attractive, one had to look at these critical areas.
Generally, someone full and plump, like her and Shizun, was definitely very good-looking.
The little fox pondered for a moment, then gestured with her two small paws.
Seeing that the outlined contour far exceeded her own range, Li Shishi’s face immediately darkened.
Sure enough, Senior Brother was with a woman. And most crucially, this woman was more formidable than her in that area.
Li Shishi thought for a moment, then asked somewhat jealously in her mind, “Should we speed up our strategy?”
She felt a sense of urgency!
Because inside the sect, Senior Brother was already incredibly popular. Many female disciples had even delivered love letters right in front of her.
She hadn’t expected that outside the sect, there were also women coveting her Senior Brother.
Li Shishi felt they needed to speed up the progress. If her Senior Brother were snatched away by another woman and completely devoured, she would probably cry herself to death.
“Your sense of crisis is well-founded. We need to speed up the plan.”
“When Senior Brother returns, we can first do this, then that, and finally…”
Mu Wanzhi’s expression was grave. She already had a new strategy plan.
“Mhm mhm…” Li Shishi listened attentively, occasionally nodding in agreement. The light flashing in her beautiful eyes grew increasingly dazzling.
Around noon, Deng Tianyu had woken up.
His nose was filled with a rich fragrance and the scent of hair. He could feel a warm, steady breath hitting his chest.
Looking down, what met his eyes was a flawless, mature face.
Slender willow-leaf brows, her bewitching beautiful eyes were closed, long eyelashes curved like delicate crescent moons.
A pretty, straight nose, her jade cheeks slightly flushed, her luscious, pouty lips curved into a peerlessly beautiful arc. Her snow-white, delicate face was sparkling like jade, her skin as fair as congealed cream, radiating a faint, alluring luster.
Deng Tianyu smiled gently, feeling only warmth and tenderness flowing through his heart.
Sleeping Shizun was full of gentle tranquility, possessing a uniquely graceful and elegant charm.
He gently lifted a corner of the blanket, slowly moved out, then carefully tucked that corner back in before leaving his Shizun’s boudoir.
Deng Tianyu, familiar with the route, went to the kitchen on the Back Mountain. Using some spiritual ingredients, he prepared several different Spirit Meals.
Since Shizun was sleeping and he didn’t want to disturb her, he set aside a portion of every dish for her to enjoy when she woke.
After finishing, Deng Tianyu carried the Spirit Meals, which were radiating rich aromas and the fresh scent of Spiritual Energy, to the courtyard.
He didn’t go to call the Big Loli Li Shishi or little fox Yingying.
Because as soon as they smelled the fragrance, they would appear very quickly.
“Whoosh!”
“Yingying~”
Just as he thought, a flash of white light rapidly shot into his arms after a short while, rubbing her soft cheek against his chest.
That pair of fox eyes looked longingly at the Spirit Meals on the table, gleaming with an incredibly dazzling light.
Little fox Yingying had arrived. The Big Loli—no, the mature-looking Li Shishi—also followed.
“Eat while it’s hot!”
Deng Tianyu smiled, placed the little fox on the table, and let her do as she pleased.
Before, with only paws, it might have been a bit inconvenient, requiring him to feed her.
Now, Yingying had three tails, plus two little paws. That was more than enough to fend for herself!
“Yingying!”
The little fox cried out happily, directly grabbing a Spirit Tail Braised Chicken Leg. She bit into it fiercely, immediately squinting her eyes in bliss.
For breakfast, she had eaten Spirit Fruits. Although they were incredibly sweet, they lacked that sensory enjoyment on the taste buds.
But now for lunch, having these Spirit Meals—both rich in Spiritual Energy and delicious to the extreme—was truly a fountain of happiness.
Deng Tianyu also picked up his bamboo chopsticks, but noticed that Li Shishi was frowning deeply, completely ignoring even the delicious Spirit Meals, as if troubled by something.
He asked with concern, “Shishi, why aren’t you eating?”
“Senior Brother, I don’t know why, but these past few days while you were here, I’ve always been feeling somewhat absent-minded.”
Li Shishi raised her head slightly, looking a bit dazed.
