Chapter 24: Hua Yun
This dream is so embarrassing!
In the morning, Cancan woke up and found that she couldn’t look Hua Qing in the eyes. Every time Hua Qing talked to her, she avoided his gaze with a hint of evasion.
Hua Qing keenly noticed that something was wrong with Cancan. He thought she was still angry about what happened yesterday. He couldn’t help but wonder, are all little foxes like her willing to hold grudges now?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Would you like some candied hawthorn?" When they first arrived in the capital, she looked at him eagerly, almost unable to move from the spot. But at that time, Hua Qing was busy looking for Snowflake Glass and had no time to pay much attention to her. Now that things had settled down, he felt like talking to her about this.
Cancan’s eyes lit up immediately, and she grabbed Hua Qing’s hand, saying, "Can we really have some?"
Seeing her excited expression, her face full of joy, Hua Qing nodded, saying, "Yes."
Cancan was suddenly excited and rushed to the old man selling candied hawthorn. She proudly said, "I want a string of candied hawthorn."
Even though she hadn’t gone out much, Cancan was a very experienced little fox who knew that buying things required money. So, listening to others was beneficial. There were many of her kind who were clueless and got into trouble for taking things without understanding the consequences!
Cancan licked the candied hawthorn gently, feeling that it was so sweet that it touched her heart. She didn’t want to take a bite and handed it to Hua Qing, saying, "You have a bite!"
Hua Qing was surprised for a moment, then squinted slightly and shook his head, saying, "You can have it yourself!"
Cancan immediately put away the candied hawthorn, feeling satisfied in her eyes and heart, "It’s not that I don’t want to give you, it’s that you don’t want to eat it. It’s so sweet!"
Hua Qing smiled and said, "You enjoy it yourself. I don’t like sweets that much." In fact, he didn’t really need to eat anything. Seeing Cancan enjoying it so much, he ate some too. If he didn’t eat anything, he would appear too different.
Big Green watched this and that from the side, tugging at his clothes, "I also want to eat."
Cancan refused and hid the candied hawthorn behind her, watching Big Green cautiously, "I don’t want to."
Big Green was angry, "You heartless little one. You just said let Hua Qing try it, now I want to have a bite, and you refuse. You’re a monster. I’ve been taking care of you since you were young. Why are you so heartless? Who did you learn this heartless behavior from? Just a few days out, and you’ve picked up such a bad habit! Or is it…" Big Green looked Cancan and Hua Qing up and down, pulling Cancan aside, "Or is it that you’re attracted to their looks?"
Cancan blushed instantly, as if her secrets had been exposed. She angrily said, "You’re talking nonsense. I don’t want to talk to you."
Big Green suspiciously looked at Cancan, "I hit the nail on the head with your secret thoughts, didn’t I? Uh…" As he was speaking, he saw Hua Qing handing him a candied hawthorn and then walked away.
Big Green, "…" Oh, he really is handsome! I can’t help but feel fluttery inside, even as a tough guy like me.
Cancan glared sharply at Big Green, feeling really angry. She muttered, "Why are you so annoying? I’m a girl, you’re a boy! How dare you, hmph!"
Big Green pretended not to hear, quietly walked ahead… La la la, these candied haws are so delicious!
The three of them quickly left the capital city. Upon hearing that the emperor had suddenly died, and the prince hurriedly ascended the throne, Cancan said with emotion, "So, people can be bad too."
The old turtle is a fairy, but good; the emperor is a person, but bad. Cancan sighed, "That’s why we shouldn’t judge by appearances!"
Hua Qing was by their side, silent.
The three of them were actually wandering aimlessly, and when they reached the outskirts of Suzhou, Cancan received a letter from her relatives at home. She happily exclaimed, "Great, I have a letter too!" Back at Shu Mountain, she used to write to them, but no one ever replied. Now someone had written to her, and this made Cancan very happy.
Big Wolf sneered, "It’s because you caught the attention of Immortal Hua Qing. Your relatives are all just looking for benefits."
Cancan ignored what Big Green said, opened the letter directly, then furrowed her brow. After a while, she hesitantly handed the letter to Big Green and said, "I… I can’t read, can you help me?"
Big Green fell backwards and said, "I told you to study more, but you really don’t have any talent."
Cancan glanced at Hua Qing, who was looking at her expressionless face, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. She blushed suddenly, fidgeted with her clothes for a while, and said, "Are you going to read it or not? If you’re not, I’ll ask Hua Qing for help."
Big Green patted his head and said, "Just take a look, can’t you? You are…" Here, Big Green started reading the letter, but halfway through, his face changed, and he threw the letter on the ground, stomping on it hard.
Cancan was shocked by the sudden change in front of her and pushed Big Green, saying, "What are you doing? Why are you stepping on my letter?"
Big Green, annoyed, said, "Don’t look at these things, they are not worth your time."
Hua Qing glanced at the letter on the ground, which was covered in mud from being stepped on by Wolf Big Green, but he could still read the contents. He pursed his lips and said, "Let’s go."
Cancan refused to leave and tried to retrieve her letter, sounding teary as she said, "You guys are so annoying! What are you doing! Give me back my letter. I hate this, it’s my first letter ever received!"
Seeing Cancan upset, Big Green said, "They are all bad people, they are just jealous that you are with Hua Qing the Immortal."
Cancan was puzzled for a moment and asked, "What did they write back to me? Tell me!"
Big Green refused, but Cancan insisted. She stubbornly stayed there, pulling the letter, "Tell me quickly, if you don’t tell me, I will go ask the great Hua Qing, why are you so annoying, I dislike you the most." Cancan shouted.
Big Green was angered by her shouting, shouted loudly, "Are you silly? I told you they are not good people, and you still want to dislike me. They said you caused the death of the Fox Concubine, that you are a sinner of the Fox tribe, and they wrote all these nonsense, do you want to listen?"
Cancan was stunned for a moment, she looked foolishly at Big Green, then looked at Hua Qing, and asked, "Am I a sinner of the Fox tribe? But, but I didn’t do anything! The Fox Concubine was a bad person, she helped the old emperor eat the hearts of children, she…"
Seeing Cancan in a panic and helpless state, Hua Qing held her hand and said, "Don’t be sad."
Cancan bit her lip, "But I am innocent. She was a bad person, bad people should be punished, and besides, I didn’t cause her death, it was clearly her own doing, the old emperor." After some thought, Cancan let go of Hua Qing’s hand and said, "I need to go back, I need to clarify things with them, I am not a bad person."
Seeing Cancan about to leave, Hua Qing grabbed her wrist from behind. Cancan turned to look at him, her eyes red as if hurt by his words.
Hua Qing said, "Don’t go back."
Cancan said, "…"
Hua Qing said seriously, "Once we find Snowflake Glass, I will personally take you back and explain to them."
Cancan froze for a moment, stuttered and asked, "Is that true?"
Hua Qing smiled, "Would I lie?"
Cancan thought for a moment and shook her head, "You wouldn’t, you’re the best person. Oh no, you’re the best fairy."
Hua Qing nodded, "Then let’s go find Snowflake Glass first."
Cancan nodded quickly, "Okay, let’s find Snowflake Glass quickly. After we find them, we’ll explain everything, I’m not a bad person."
Full of trust, Cancan looked up at Hua Qing with a pure smile, "Fairy Hua Qing, let’s go together!"
For some reason, as soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew. Hua Qing grabbed Cancan’s wrist, and Big Wolf came to hold Cancan’s other hand, muttering, "Oh my, this wind is strong, could there be something happening?"
Just as he finished muttering, they saw someone coming on a flying sword.
They looked up and saw a person in white clothes, who stopped when he saw Hua Qing, rushed over quickly and said, "Senior Brother!"
"Hua Yun, why are you here?" Hua Qing said coldly.
As Hua Yun was about to speak, he caught sight of Cancan’s face and became pale with shock. He stood up with a sword in hand, pointing towards Cancan, "Xian Yue, you really have appeared."
Seeing his grim expression, Cancan quickly hid behind Hua Qing, muttering, "I am not Xian Yue."
But at this moment, Hua Yun ignored her and spoke to Hua Qing, "Senior brother, I didn’t expect you to really find Xian Yue. Let’s escort her back to Shu Mountain now."
Cancan bit her lip angrily, "Are you stupid? I have said it, I am not Xian Yue, I am Cancan."
Hua Yun sneered, "Cancan? Xian Yue, don’t think that you can just deny everything from the past just because you have reincarnated. What Cancan, how ridiculous!"
Hua Qing sensed Cancan’s fear and said slowly, "She is not Xian Yue."
Hua Yun exclaimed, "Oh?"
Hua Qing explained seriously, "I took her to see the Three Lives Stone. She was a fox in her past life, not Xian Yue. It’s just that her appearance is exactly like Xian Yue’s."
Hua Yun pointed at Cancan and asked, "She’s not? How is this possible? This face clearly belongs to Xian Yue."
Cancan was angered by this celestial being, she raised her voice and said, "Is Xian Yue an idiot? Can’t she change her appearance to look like someone else? Keeping the same face, is she tired of living? I know, I am beautiful, that’s why you all envy me. That annoying demon lord wants to kill me, and you want to kill me too. You are all fools, fools!"
She did have a point.
Hua Yun was furious, "If you’re not Xian Yue, why would the senior brother bring you along."
