Chapter 1312: Envy of the Celestial Fox Child

Outside the room, Chen Chuyang entered the Fox Clan hall and saw Tianhu'er sitting inside, lost in thought; she has adapted to Fox Clan life, her bodily integration progress is considerable, and since their last meeting she has integrated again, with encouraging progress.

Give her a few more years and she can complete the integration fully; her overall strength is rapidly increasing, and it seems she lacks no resources. This time Tianhu'er makes no big moves, does not intend to meet Chen Chuyang, and instead hides here, daydreaming.

Chen Chuyang approached, and she did not notice until he stood before her; only then did Tianhu'er see Chen Chuyang. His eyes flickered with several emotions—shock, complexity, sorrow, a hint of longing—multiple feelings blended together, extremely complicated.

"Aren't you staying with Hu Jiuwei?" Tianhu'er paused, then asked first.

Chen Chuyang waved his hand: "She has to accompany the Great Elder for a chat, probably whispering. I'm not suited to stay in the room, so I had to step out for some air. It's also a good chance for me to learn about the Fox Clan, to get a proper understanding."

Having visited the Fox Clan several times, Chen Chuyang is still unfamiliar with their territory, so he wandered around and eventually reached the hall.

"I see. Then why are you here?" Tianhu'er stared at Chen Chuyang, feeling his gaze on her was strange.

That look was just like the one he gave her and Hu Jiuwei inside the Fox Clan's cave realm, as if he could devour her.

It was clear that Chen Chuyang was attracted to her, or rather, Hu Jiuwei was in a special state and could not accompany him.

"What do you think, my lady?" Chen Chuyang sat beside her. Tianhu'er immediately moved away, distancing herself from Chen Chuyang; she did not want to be too close to this man, lest he get her again.

The impact Chen Chuyang gave her was overwhelming; one time was tolerable, but the second and third times she found she could not restrain her feelings. Tianhu'er realized that if this continued, she might end up like Hu Jiuwei, body and soul conquered by this man.

She does not want to become like Hu Jiuwei, nor to depend on a man.

She has her own pride and confidence; she does not need to rely on a man.

As a nine‑tail celestial fox, this is her dignity; Tianhu'er cannot be easily conquered, and no man can achieve this.

"Do you miss me?" Chen Chuyang held her hand, not letting her go.

Tianhu'er wanted to leave, to pull away, but she found she could not withdraw nor distance herself from Chen Chuyang. After struggling a few times, she finally gave up the struggle and resignedly sat beside Chen Chuyang.

"Why didn't you go with Hu Jiuwei and come looking for me?" Tianhu'er complained, "Hu Jiuwei is your official wife; I'm nothing. If she gets jealous and causes trouble for me, I'll be in trouble."

"That won't happen. My lady, I understand; she would love to do that." Chen Chuyang lifted Tianhu'er's chin with his other hand, making her face him, eyes locked.

"Tianhu'er, have you missed me?"

Tianhu'er did not answer; she was stunned.

Her eyes wavered as she stared at Chen Chuyang's gaze and shook her head: "I don't want to."

"Let go quickly; if Hu Jiuwei sees this, it won't be good."

"Someone will come in here; you'd better not act recklessly."

Chen Chuyang said cheerfully, "Lady, take me to your room."

Tianhu'er warned, "What do you intend to do?"

Both eyes were wary; she kept guard against Chen Chuyang, not wanting him to approach or have designs on her.

Chen Chuyang knew what she feared, and the more so, the more he wanted to tease her.

Tianhu'er's complicated thoughts were obvious to Chen Chuyang; this woman has not fully become his, even though they have cooperated several times and communicated deeply, she still resists him internally.

"What do you think? My good lady, it's hard enough for me to come once; won't you treat me properly?" Chen Chuyang said lecherous words, clinging to Tianhu'er so she could not refuse.

Tianhu'er rolled her eyes at Chen Chuyang, forcefully shook off his hand, and said irritably, "Enough, stop messing around; Hu Jiuwei just gave birth, so be gentle."

Having said that, she hurried away, not daring to linger.

Chen Chuyang watched her retreating back and shook his head, "This woman is truly incorrigible."

Tianhu'er is very proud and arrogant; clearly she has not been conquered, her thoughts are not on him. Chen Chuyang is not in a hurry; dealing with this woman requires patience and some tactics.

After all, she is his prey; she can't run, and that makes it interesting.

"Tianhu'er, Tianhu'er, sooner or later you'll obediently call me husband."

After teasing Tianhu'er, Chen Chuyang continued to familiarize himself with the Fox Clan's territory, then returned to Hu Jiuwei's side, briefly recounting the hall incident; Hu Jiuwei, hearing this, squeezed Chen Chuyang's waist and said, "Husband, you're truly wicked."

Of course, she did not apply force.

"Lady, don't you find this amusing? Tianhu'er is so proud and pretentious; don't you want to see her bow and call you sister?"

Willingly, that kind of feeling.

Hu Jiuwei glanced at Chen Chuyang and said, "Consider yourself lucky, husband; for the next month I cannot accompany you, you may go find Tianhu'er."

"I consent."

Chen Chuyang bowed his head and kissed her forehead, thanking, "Then I must thank the lady for her generosity."

"Hehe," Hu Jiuwei let out a pleasant laugh.

"Husband, you must thank me properly in the future."

"I certainly will, my good lady; you gave me a fine son, and I'll visit you often." Chen Chuyang embraced Hu Jiuwei, thinking of nothing else but staying by her side.

"In the future, you can also go to Longshe Shan; when Dao Jun grows up, he can be with his brothers and sisters."

Between siblings, they should get along well and deepen their affection.

Hu Jiuwei nodded, "As you say, husband."

On the other side.

After returning to her room, Tianhu'er's heartbeat accelerated; only after it finally calmed did her heart settle.

"Huff huff, that man truly knows how to torment people."

"Every time I see him, my emotions cannot settle."

"This man truly knows how to manipulate hearts; why am I so afraid of him?"

Tianhu'er did not understand why she was so afraid of him.

Seeing Chen Chuyang felt like a mouse seeing a cat—the prickly feeling, the fear, and her subconscious avoidance of him, all things that never happened before.

Since encountering this man, everything…

At the same time, she also envied Hu Jiuwei, who truly succeeded and bore a fine son.

"The Azure Dragon Bloodline coexisting with the nine‑tail celestial fox bloodline—wow, Hu Jiuwei's luck is truly great; such a fortune has come to her."

"The probability is so low; throughout Fox Clan history, no such anomaly has appeared. That man is very different."
