Chapter 15: Biting

Watching Cancan fall down again, Hua Qing silently turned away. Although he had never taken on an apprentice before, Hua Qing had seen other people’s apprentices. Seeing her being so clumsy, Hua Qing felt that being slow to learn was a real issue + not taking her as an apprentice was the right decision.

Cancan didn’t know how many times she had fallen, rubbing her bottom, she looked at Hua Qing and said with a pout, "My bottom has turned into eight pieces."

Hua Qing replied coldly, "Not yet, keep practicing, you’ll never get better without practice!"

Cancan glanced at him, slyly took off her coat, Hua Qing blushed slightly and said, "Put it back on."

Cancan refused, transformed back to her original form, pawed at Hua Qing’s clothes, making them disappear somewhere, Hua Qing was left speechless.

"Even if you’re annoyed with me, you don’t need to take it out on your clothes," she said lightly.

Cancan thought that Hua Qing was a person who always seemed cold.

She decided not to practice anymore, lay down by the fire and dozed off, one good thing about being a fairy is that you can be carefree. If she wanted to be messy, she could just change back to her original form, unlike Hua Qing. Cancan glanced at Hua Qing sympathetically, seeing him sitting up straight even at this moment, what a stickler!

She found a more comfortable way and slowly fell asleep.

Hua Qing watched Cancan sleeping like that, snoring softly, seemingly comfortable, occasionally smacking her lips, drooling as she murmured, "I want to eat chicken…" Her persistence was always there.

Hua Qing looked at her like this, at that moment she was no longer Xian Yue, just a little white fox. Hua Qing got up, walked over to her, Cancan had no reaction, still sleeping soundly. Hua Qing crouched down, picked up his clothes that were covering her, gently wiped them clean, then put them back on. The moonlight tonight was beautiful, he sat back by the fire, gazing up at the starry sky, full of twinkling stars. Who would’ve thought he would be spending time with a small fox?

Hua Qing thought, maybe he couldn’t do it five hundred years ago, but five hundred years later, he could.

Xian Yue couldn’t escape fate, eventually turning to dark magic. After many years searching the Six Realms, he started to wonder, what is truly destined?

"Hua Qing… bad person…" Cancan mumbled in her sleep. Hua Qing paused, then got up and looked down at her. After watching her for a while, he finally crouched down, sitting next to her. She seemed to be having a bad dream, looking scared. Hua Qing paused, then gently petted her fur.

By now, her fur had dried and become fluffy and cute, no longer the thin and wet look from before.

Hua Qing softly stroked her fur, again and again, and she seemed to calm down instantly. Hua Qing withdrew his hand, hearing Cancan whimper, he paused and petted her once more…

Cancan felt like she had a wonderful dream. In the dream, Hua Qing was dressed in bright red clothes and reached out to her, saying, "Cancan, come here, give me your hand."

Cancan was overjoyed and reached out her paw, but before she could do anything, a sword stabbed towards her, it was the evil leader. She was terrified, fearing the evil leader would kill her, but to her surprise, Hua Qing was not afraid at all. He said, "Cancan, I will always protect you."

Holding her paw, they walked for what seemed like hours until the evil leader disappeared, leaving just the two of them. He caressed her head lovingly and asked, "Cancan, do you like me?"

Cancan quickly nodded, biting her lip with a big smile, "Like!"

"Since you like it, shall we get married? I’ll give you the best chicken drumstick, and you can have chicken drumsticks as much as you want in the future."

Cancan was surprised, her eyes shining, "Can I?"

Hua Qing nodded, carrying out a chicken, which turned out to be the legendary roasted chicken. Cancan was so happy, she took a bite…

"Ah…" In a daze, Cancan felt herself being knocked away, and when she came to her senses, she found herself falling on the ground. At that moment, she had turned back into a human. Confused, Cancan got up, feeling a little puzzled.

After calming down, realizing she was beaten up, she held her waist, "Who dares to bully me like this?" After shouting, she suddenly thought, this doesn’t seem right. She then suspiciously looked at Hua Qing, thinking, he was the most likely to do such a thing!

But… what was that look in Hua Qing’s eyes?

Hua Qing coldly looked at Cancan, a hint of icy smile on his lips. Cancan felt something was off, rubbing herself, she awkwardly asked, "Uh, Mr. Hua Qing, have you seen the little thief?"

Hua Qing looked at her, nodded after a while.

Cancan exploded, "Where is he, where is he! I’ll turn him into a pig head."

Hua Qing calmly said, "Me!"

Cancan was suddenly stunned, she stared at Hua Qing blankly, awkwardly smiling, "Um… um, how could it be you! It can’t be, it can’t be!"

As she spoke, she sneakily glanced at Hua Qing, noticing his unfriendly expression. She looked him up and down, finally fixing her gaze on Hua Qing’s wrist, where clear bite marks were visible. Cancan felt embarrassed for a moment, then turned her head around and compared her own teeth to her arm secretly, reassuring herself as she noticed the size difference. Of course, her bite mark couldn’t be that big! Completely different from reality. With this in mind, she turned back angrily, "Immortal Hua Qing, how could you bite me? You’re so rude!"

Hua Qing, observing her bluffing, responded, "You bit me, so I pushed you away. Isn’t that fair?"

Cancan denied, "No way, my bite mark is so small. I just secretly measured it on my arm, my teeth are definitely not big. You can tell just by looking. With my small cherry mouth, how could I leave such a bloody bite mark? Something’s not right, you can’t fool me."

Hua Qing softly said, "You forgot, you were a fox just now."

Cancan was suddenly speechless. She forgot about that. Looking back at Hua Qing, although he had a straight face, she sensed accusation in his eyes. After a moment of thought, she bit her lip and mumbled, "It wasn’t on purpose." Seeing Hua Qing’s stern expression, she bounced over to him, holding his arm, smiling sweetly, "Immortal Hua Qing, you surely don’t hold grudges against others, right?" She looked at him with guilt.

Hua Qing remained silent.

"Let’s practice together? I want to learn magic, and when we encounter villains, encounter big bosses, I can help you." Cancan lifted her face cheerfully, trying to please him.

Hua Qing looked at Cancan and suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of the Demon Lord?"

Cancan stood tall and replied, "I’ve never been afraid of anyone. I’m not afraid of Demon Lord Mo Yuan. Oh wait…" She stopped midway, her enthusiasm fading, and pointed, "I am actually afraid of the celestial being Hua Qing."

At that moment, Hua Qing’s expression changed slightly. "When did I tell you his name is Mo Yuan?"
