CHAPTER 141 (1/2)

Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 21

Houqing told him, “The Nine Tailed Fox Palace is cold. Take a Warm Pill and be careful not to get a chill.”

Xie Xi’s mind returned and he looked around. “Your Excelle…”

Houqing’s eyes were gentle. “Call me by my name.”

Name… what was Houqing’s name?

Xie Xi shook his head and Houqing wasn’t in a hurry. He whispered softly, “Do you what like. You don’t have to be so cautious.”

Xie Xi wasn’t cautious, he was curious.In any case, this was a memory that had already passed. He wanted to ask directly but was afraid he wouldn’t find anything.

Besides, Jiang Xie said that they didn’t know their own names. This name was probably just the code name of Houqing.

Xie Xi and Houqing had already reached the main entrance of the Nine Tailed Fox Palace.

There was a snowy fur collar on Nine Tails’ cloak which made his skin more jade-like and increased his temperament.

Houqing held Xie Xi’s hand and greeted Nine Tails. “How can Brother personally come to welcome us?”

Brother? Houqing and Nine Tails originally had such a relationship?

Xie Xi couldn’t help thinking about the dream of the second prince (Nine Tails) in Atlantis. In the dream, he made his brother wear a green hat, bringing his brother’s former husband home… well, the second child still had this taste. It was really consistent.

Xie Xi couldn’t help wanting to ask Jiang Xie about his secret interests!

Nine Tails’ gaze swept over Xie Xi. “You finally went outside so I naturally have to celebrate.”

Houqing replied, “There are no big gains.”

Once he finished, he introduced Nine Tails to Xie Xi and Xie Xi to Nine Tails.

Xie Xi bowed. “Hello, Ancestor Nine Tails.”

Nine Tails was very dignified and didn’t look different, let alone like he was going to seduce another person!

Houqing held hands with Xie Xi to appease his nervousness. What damn nervousness? Xie Xi wanted to raise a shovel when looking at this fox.

The group entered the Nine Tailed Fox Palace and the relationship between Nine Tails and Houqing was decent as they kept conversing.

Xie Xi couldn’t add anything and listened attentively. He felt it was very interesting.

The concept of the Demon Sea and Holy Mountain was different. The latter was stiffer and preferred to live in a proper manner. The Demon Sea was more free and slack. These two people were regarded as the demon ancestors but they didn’t control manner things. People could come and go freely without restrictions.

Xie Xi’s understanding was that status was more distinct on the Holy Mountain. It was more like the Confucian rule. Meanwhile, the Demon Sea was freer and inclined to Taoism.

It was very good and Xie Xi didn’t reject it.

Nine Tails had set up a banquet and it was beautifully furnished. After all, it was an ice palace and looked wonderful.

After sitting down, Xie Xi felt that the meal was very abundant and there was one extreme point.

Braised chicken thighs, sweet and sour chicken wings, fried chicken breast, pickled chicken feet, crispy chicken rack…

Foxes, how much do you like eating chicken? Any chickens in the Demon Sea were probably eaten up!

The flower Xie Xi couldn’t digest this ‘big chicken.’

Nine Tails looked at Xie Xi and told Houqing, “I didn’t know you were bringing someone else so I didn’t prepare anything.”

He paused before asking, “Is he a little demon?”

This statement was very arrogant but Nine Tails’ identity meant there was nothing wrong speaking to a small rose like this. Houqing smiled. “He is my lover.”

Xie Xi’s heart shook. It was rare to see such seriousness from the different coloured eyes.

Nine Tails’ eyes flashed as he asked, “A rose?”

In fact, NIne Tails could see Xie Xi’s body with once glance but there were too many species of flowers and he couldn’t distinguish them. After all, there were a few flowers similar to a rose.

Houqing should reply but he actually changed the topic. “He is a bit shy. Brother shouldn’t care about him.”

Nine Tails replied, “Oh.” He looked away like there was nothing exciting and talked about something else.

After a while, Xie Xi held a small jade bottle in his hand. Houqing whispered, “Drink this.”

Xie Xi nodded, opened the bottle and sniffed.

Nine Tails looked over again.

Houqing looked up and Nine Tails shifted his gaze.

Xie Xi was aware of it and his heart felt funny.

Sure enough, this fox was pretending. It was a pity that Xie Xi saw through it at first glance.

Xie Xi thought about it. If the memories recorded in the god’s wisdom showed a similar trend, he had to be pried away by Nine Tails. As to how it happened… did he have to make a chance for Nine Tails? Could he really wield this small shovel himself?

Xie Xi glanced over at Houqing and felt strangely distressed.

Old Six was a good person. He was a little angel in the last world, gentle and friendly while always taking care of Xie Xi.

This had already happened a long time ago and Xie Xi could only follow the script. This was the setting created by the souls but he still couldn’t help feeling pained.

Xie Xi’s heart jerked and he looked over at Nine Tails.

His gaze had just fallen on the person when Nine Tails sensed it and turned around.

This action was too obvious and Houqing wondered, “What’s wrong?”

Xie Xi quickly bowed his head while thinking, ‘Can’t you show a bit less interest?’

Nine Tails seemed to see an illusion and was stunned. “It’s nothing.”

Houqing glanced at Xie Xi and Xie Xi lowered his head, drinking from the jade bottle in his hand. He seemed to be aware of Houqing’s gaze and looked up in a confused manner. “Hrmm?”

Houqing smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”

“It has a good taste.”

Houqing told him, “There are other flavours. I’ll give them to you tomorrow.”

Xie Xi really liked it. This was clear and refreshing and created sensations inside his body. He couldn’t help asking, “Can’t you give it today?”

Houqing made a fond expression. “Your body can’t stand it if you drink too much.”
