Chapter 700

499. The Qingqiu Fox Girl Who Likes Xiao

"Please forgive me, Miss Ganyu. Hengniang is the daughter of our clan's Fourth Elder. The Fourth Elder went to other places to search for fox clans a while ago and has not yet returned."

"Hengniang was entrusted to our care."

Huayue looked at Ganyu with some embarrassment, but on that peerless face, this expression was actually quite moving.

Presumably, no one would have the heart to blame such a peerless fox spirit.

Kiana was a bit dazed, but Mei suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Huayue with vigilance.

She now understood why there were legends of fox spirits in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

This little thing...

Was really too tempting!

A beauty who brings disaster, a disaster to the country and the people...

Mei looked at Huayue and the other fox clans with some envy.

"What do you want to ask?"

Ganyu looked at Hengniang with confusion. The latter seemed a bit shy, lowered her head slightly, twisted for a moment, and then said in a low voice:

"Lord Ganyu, I wonder... I wonder how Lord Xiao is doing recently? It's been a long time since I saw him come out to patrol Shushan..."

This caught Ganyu and the others off guard, and Huayue also showed a polite but awkward smile.

As the saying goes, the Qingqiu Fox clan is full of love-brained people, and the Tushan Fox clan is full of matchmaker foxes.

When the Qingqiu Fox clan gets sick, they are even willing to abandon their cultivation and give up everything to fall in love with a mortal.

The Tushan Fox clan, in order to match two lovers, can even use themselves as bait.

These two clans are also the most outrageous groups in the cultivation world.

Feeling Ganyu's strange gaze, Huayue also felt a bit ashamed.

After Hengniang came to this world, she felt very curious about everything in this world.

Not long ago, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she snuck out and encountered a fierce beast at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi.

She almost lost her life to the beast's mouth.

Because Jiang Yan and the others were not on Shushan at the time, Xiao, as the eldest disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, began to patrol the situation around Shushan to prevent fierce beasts from attacking.

It just so happened that he encountered the fierce beast that Hengniang had run into, saved Hengniang, and sent her back to the Qingqiu Fox clan.

This cliché of a hero saving a beauty was truly a bit speechless.

But as it happened, Hengniang really fell for this routine.

Although the whole process took less than half an hour, and Xiao didn't say more than five sentences after solving the beast and sending her back.

But perhaps because her love-brain was acting up, Hengniang really fell in love with Xiao at first sight.

For the past few days, she hadn't been eating or drinking, sitting in her room every day, doing nothing but thinking about how Xiao saved her.

Huayue and the others knew, but there was nothing they could say.

Not to mention that the Shushan Sect Master hadn't returned at the time, and the Qingqiu clan hadn't restored their attachment to Shushan.

Even if they had, Xiao was the eldest senior brother of Shushan, a genius at the middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit.

The eldest disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, the head of Longshou Peak, and one of the people the Sect Master valued most.

Although Hengniang's cultivation talent wasn't bad, it couldn't be said to be good either.

No matter how you looked at it, it was a bit of a fantasy.

Bringing her out today, Huayue had been worried that she would ask about this.

As a result...

Huayue swore that there was no moment in her life that gave her a bigger headache over the Qingqiu Fox clan's love-brain than now.

However...

The current Huayue was just the big sister laughing at the second sister.

When she saw Jiang Yan at the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament a month and a half later, Huayue would understand that love-brain was a disease that really couldn't be controlled.

"Xiao, you say..."

After a long silence, Ganyu looked at Hengniang strangely and said softly:

"The Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament is in a month and a half, and all disciples are currently in seclusion on Shushan. Xiao bears the high expectations of Head of Peak Zhongli, so naturally, he has to be in seclusion too."

"What's more, the Sect Master has returned, and he won't be coming out during this time."

Hengniang nodded with disappointment, then said in a low voice:

"Thank you, Lord Ganyu..."

Ganyu pondered in her heart; she really didn't expect Xiao to have such a fate with a girl from the Qingqiu Fox clan.

The fox girls of the Qingqiu Fox clan are incredibly infatuated; once they identify someone in this life, they will follow them regardless of life or death.

She didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for Xiao.

But if Zhongli found out...

He would definitely be very happy.

He had been pondering a while ago that since Xiao had been following him for so long, it seemed it was time to find a Dao companion.

Who knows, if this news got out, Zhongli might even come over immediately to vet Xiao's partner.

But Xiao might not be able to accept it.

He was currently focused on cultivation; besides wanting to become stronger, he was monitoring Shushan and fulfilling his duties.

Matters of love...

Forget it.

Ganyu shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

This had nothing to do with her. Instead of worrying about Xiao, she might as well finish things early and go back to find Jiang Yan for seclusion and cultivation.

Yae Miko had been staying by Jiang Yan's side in seclusion, and Ganyu was extremely envious now.

"Is there anything else?"

Ganyu asked softly. Hengniang shook her head repeatedly, and Huayue also hurried forward to hand Ganyu a gift.

"This is the stomach hair of our Qingqiu Fox clan. Presumably, Miss Ganyu will need it. Please be sure to accept it. Thank you very much for coming to notify us today, Miss Ganyu."

Ganyu shook her head and said softly:

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going. I hope to see you all on Shushan in two months."

After saying this, she took the gift, Yanyuan flapped her wings, and she disappeared in an instant.

Huayue breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her clansmen, and looked at Hengniang helplessly.

"Hengniang, oh Hengniang... what should I say about you? Even if you miss that eldest disciple of Longshou Peak, you shouldn't have asked at a time like this."

"When the Fourth Elder returns, she will definitely blame you again."

Hengniang was a bit weak and said in a low voice:

"I was wrong, Sister Huayue..."

"Hehe... Patriarch, don't blame Hengniang. Love, once it comes, who can stop it?"

A woman full of charm smiled and touched Hengniang's head.

"Besides, if Hengniang can really be with that eldest disciple, it will also be helpful to our Qingqiu."

"That would also require her to cultivate well and strive to join Shushan in two months."

Huayue looked at the woman helplessly.

"Great Elder, it's all your fault for always spoiling Hengniang!"

"Look! Little Huayue is starting to blame us again. You just haven't experienced love; otherwise, you would be even more impulsive than Hengniang."

The Great Elder smiled and pinched Huayue's cheek.

"Don't pinch my face! I've grown up! I'm the Patriarch of the Qingqiu Fox clan now! Great Elder! You can't treat me like you used to!"

Huayue stared at the Great Elder with puffed cheeks, but the latter looked at her with love.

"Alright, alright, little Huayue has grown up and can't have her cheeks pinched anymore. What a pity... I wonder whose boy our Qingqiu Fox clan's number one beauty will fall for in the future."

"Great Elder!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore."

Many elders smiled and changed the subject, brushing off the matter of Hengniang.

"Huayue, absorb the Saintess's bloodline true spirit as soon as possible to improve your bloodline talent, so you'll have more confidence in joining Shushan later."

The Great Elder's expression turned slightly serious, and she added:
