Chapter 18: Recognizing Each Other

Big Green slowly woke up. It had just had a terrifying dream where Hu Cancan, a skinny fox-like creature, turned into a pretty girl. What was even scarier was that she was following a powerful immortal. It was definitely a nightmare.

Moreover, to tell the truth, the face of this pretty girl actually looked somewhat kind!

"Brother Wolf, Brother Wolf!" Cancan shook Big Green hard. Just as Big Green was starting to feel better, he suddenly saw stars swirling in his head. He felt dizzy and wondered why he was seeing stars in broad daylight!

Hua Qing, feeling a hint of pity for the pitiful fairy, finally spoke up, "If you keep shaking him like that, he’ll faint again."

Cancan gasped and let go. With a thud, Big Green’s head hit the ground. He felt tears welling up in his eyes from the pain. He wished he could fight back and turn the tables!

"Which cheeky little rascal is it after all..?"

"Brother Wolf, it’s me, Cancan!" Cancan thought to herself, wondering if she had become wiser since coming out, why did she find Brother Wolf quite silly now!

At that moment, Big Green finally regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and stared carefully at Cancan, then let out a loud gasp and scrambled away in a panic, "Oh my, it’s a ghost!"

Cancan frowned, "What are you up to!" Placing her hands on her hips, she couldn’t believe he found her face so frightening, calling her a ghost. Was there ever such a beautiful ghost like her? Besides, she had just transformed into human form, was he cursing her to death! So frustrating!

"Wolf Big Green, have you lost your mind and mistaken me for a snake! Look closely, it’s me, Cancan! How can’t you recognize me."

Big Green squinted, trembling fingers. Despite having lived for centuries, the face in front of him was unmistakable, it was clearly Xian Yue, the fairy! As his gaze inadvertently shifted, Big Green nearly fainted again, trembling even more intensely. "H-h-h-h-h…" He couldn’t even speak properly.

Hua Qing calmly stood on the side and said confidently, "You never mentioned that your Brother Wolf stutters."

Cancan sympathetically said, "You were fine when you were at Shu Mountain, but why do you look so lost when you go out? Are you not doing well?"

"Hmp! I am doing fine. It’s just that…" Big Green looked at Hua Qing and started stuttering again.

Cancan, puzzled, tilted her head and whispered to Hua Qing, "I think Brother Wolf admires you a bit."

Hua Qing raised an eyebrow.

"You see, he doesn’t stutter when he sees others, but starts stuttering when he sees you. Like in the plays, the scholar meets a beautiful lady and becomes like this." Cancan was very serious, nodded firmly after speaking, and even more convinced.

Hua Qing was confused, turned around, and was about to leave. Cancan grabbed him and said, "Don’t go, I know that it’s embarrassing for you that a male fairy admires you, but you don’t have to leave like this! You…"

Finally, Big Green understood what Cancan was saying and shouted, "Hu Cancan, stop talking nonsense, or I’ll beat you up! I’ll strip off your fur!" After the threat, Big Green glanced at Cancan’s face and shrank back a bit, her face really could scare people.

Cancan turned around and snarled at him, "Damn, you think I’m afraid of you! Come on, let’s fight!"

Hua Qing frowned and said, "No using bad words."

Cancan thought to herself, "This request is too much."

Holding onto Hua Qing’s shirt tightly, Cancan had a mischievous look as Big Green asked cautiously, "Are you really… Cancan?"

Cancan glared at him and replied firmly, "It’s really me without a doubt. Who else could it be? If not for me, Hua Qing would have been in big trouble by now."

Hua Qing said, "I wouldn’t be that cruel."

Big Green finally managed to stand up and tried to approach cautiously, puzzled by the drastic change in Cancan after a few years. Not only did the cheeky little fox turn into a divine being like Xian Yue, but she also seemed to have captured the heart of the divine being Hua Qing.

If Hua Qing the divine being from five hundred years ago was known for his compassion and transcendence, the present Hua Qing the divine being showed no mercy towards evil creatures.

After some thought, Hua Qing asked, "Is stealing chickens a serious offense?"

Cancan remained silent, unsure how to respond.

"Is it okay to scare people by pretending to be a god or a ghost?"

Cancan, "…"

"Is stealing things okay?"

Cancan swallowed nervously and looked eagerly at Hua Qing, "Immortal Hua Qing, although Brother Wolf often engages in sneaky activities, he is not a bad person. Please don’t kill him, okay?" pointing at Brother Wolf.

Hua Qing rubbed his forehead and said, "Am I that bored?"

Big Green jumped up excitedly, "You’re not rejecting me! Oh, this is great!" Suddenly feeling very happy, he thought carefully and said, "Oh, I heard from my distant relative that you have become successful now, practicing by Sect Master Hua Qing’s side as a reserve power of Shu Mountain. I thought they were just boasting, but I never expected that you really achieved it with such shameless determination. Congratulations!"

Cancan’s face turned dark, she kicked over angrily, showing her teeth, "I’ll bite this stupid wolf to death. I spoke nicely for you to Hua Qing, and you dare to mock me. This is intolerable."

Hua Qing rubbed his temples again, feeling like his elegance had dropped since meeting Hu Cancan. Seeing Hua Qing’s expression, Big Wolf immediately spoke, "Reporting to the Immortal, my name is Wolf Big Green, and I am 698 years old by now. I live in Shu Mountain and rule this area, occasionally stealing. Those I bully are all bad people. I have three younger brothers, Little Green, Little Red, and Little Blue."

Cancan, "Could it be that snake?"

Big Green rolled his eyes and said, "Why call it one snake, it’s three snakes! Don’t be afraid of them, they’re quite timid!"

Cancan chuckled.

"Little ones!" Big Green waved his hand, and three little snakes quickly came out. In fact, these snakes didn’t look very small at all, they were called little snakes just because of their age.

"Come, put on a show to please the mighty Hua Qing." He had a somewhat commanding tone.

Hua Qing, feeling resigned, said, "It’s not necessary!"

Cancan drooped her head, "Dear Hua Qing…"

Hua Qing sighed, "Oh well, go ahead and perform." He looked truly helpless.

The little snakes began to perform immediately. Hua Qing felt resigned, but Cancan was laughing heartily, occasionally cheering, and after the show, she clapped excitedly, "So good!"

Hua Qing asked, "Can we leave now?"

Cancan said to Finger, "It’s getting dark, I met Brother Wolf hundreds of miles away. Can we stay here for the night and catch up?"

Big Green scratched its head and asked, "Where are you guys going?" It was chewing on a small stick and looking eagerly.

Cancan looked back at Hua Qing, not sure herself.

Hua Qing didn’t speak. Big Green was a little afraid of Hua Qing and didn’t dare to talk to him. It whispered to Cancan beside it, "Did you know your distant cousin has become a royal concubine? Since you guys don’t have a destination, shall I accompany you to visit her? She shows off all day as a concubine, and you are always by the celestial being’s side, you should show your face too. Show off a bit! Let her know that being by the celestial being’s side is the top class."
