The hesitating little fox heard Xuan Yin's words, and her petite body trembled involuntarily. Lowering her head, she retorted, "I… I'm over two hundred years old, how could I possibly wet the bed? Sister, don't treat me like a child. I… I'm already an adult, even older than your husband."

"Since it's not bedwetting… then why did you ask me about bedding?" Xuan Yin furrowed her brows, curious.

"I… I…"

The little fox opened her mouth, the words on the tip of her tongue hesitating for a long time. She awkwardly stammered, "I don't like the current bedding, it's too colorful… too flashy and childish. I… I prefer something more simple and elegant, just like yours."

"…"

"Tell the truth!"

Xuan Yin looked at the still evasive little fox and said irritably, "Stop beating around the bush with me."

Facing Xuan Yin's insistence, the little fox became a bit flustered. She tightly bit her cherry-like lips and mumbled softly, "Last night… I had a very strange dream, and when I woke up in the morning… the bedding was all wet. But I absolutely didn't wet the bed. Wetting the bed at over two hundred years old… I'd be too embarrassed."

Dream? Bedding soaked? Not wetting the bed?

With these keywords combined, Xuan Yin was thoroughly puzzled. After a moment of contemplation, she said slowly, "Could it be that you wrapped yourself up too tightly and sweated? That's why the bedding got wet?"

"Um… maybe…"

The little fox pouted and blushed, answering with embarrassment, "Anyway, I need to change the bedding… by the way, sister, can you help me wash it?"

"I don't have the time."

"When you wet the bed as a child, I was the one who helped you wash it. Now you want me to wash it for you?" Xuan Yin rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I'll go to my room and see if I can find some new bedding for you. If not… then we'll have to buy some."

"Buy?"

The clever eyes of the little fox turned, and she urgently lifted her small head, saying eagerly, "Let's buy some… I'll go alone."

Xuan Yin gave a faint cold smile and said calmly, "Do you take me for a fool? Don't think I don't know what you're plotting. You want to go out alone, but if you really leave the mountain, you'll probably disappear for half a month again. Hmph… stay at home properly. Lu Xun and I will go down the mountain and buy it for you."

"No!"

"The bedding you chose before… I… I don't like it. I want to go buy my own." The little fox pouted, her face filled with displeasure and stubbornness. She said indignantly, "If you don't let me go buy it… I'll… I'll…"

As she spoke, tears instantly filled Xuan Shi's lively eyes. Her cute and delicate little face was full of grievances, and then… she burst into tears.

"You…"

Seeing the crying little fox, Xuan Yin's composure shattered in an instant. She said in anguish, "Alright, alright… don't put on a show in front of me. Can't you see that I've agreed?"

"Hehehe…"

"I knew sister would agree."

While wiping her tears, the little fox playfully hugged Xuan Yin's arm and said softly, "Sister, don't worry, I'll be back soon. I won't play around outside."

"Don't get happy too soon." Xuan Yin gave her a disdainful glance and casually said, "I'll have Lu Xun accompany you, both of you will go down the mountain together."

"What!?"

"I have to go with him?"

Inside the little fox's heart, ten thousand unwilling thoughts were etched, and the word ‘resistance' was practically written on her forehead. Pouting, she said, "No… I don't want to go down the mountain with him. It's because… it's because…"

Speaking up to this point, she abruptly stopped.

"Because of what?" Xuan Yin asked in confusion.

"Nothing… I dislike him, I don't want to go down the mountain with him." The little fox said irritably, "I don't want to go down the mountain with you either."

"If you won't let me go, and you won't let Lu Xun accompany you, then I'll have to let Master accompany you. In any case… I won't agree to you going down the mountain alone, and the Master won't agree either," Xuan Yin said coldly.

"Forget about Master…"

"Her taste is too outdated, and besides… I can't refuse her advice." The little fox lifted her head and secretly glanced at Xuan Yin. She softly acted coquettish, saying, "Sister… just let me go alone. I promise I'll go and come back early. Trust me one more time."

Facing the little fox's tender persuasion, a faint smile appeared on Xuan Yin's cold face. She gently patted her head and said softly, "No."

"Ah—"

"I don't want to! I don't want to!"

Behind Xuan Shi's bottom, two furry tails suddenly popped out, and she exclaimed in frustration, acting like a rogue.

Just then,

Lu Xun arrived in the backyard with his sword and saw the little fox throwing a tantrum. Her two furry tails behind her were shaking and swaying… quite amusing to watch.

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Xun approached Xuan Yin and asked in confusion.

"She wants to go down the mountain alone, but I won't agree… so she started acting like this." The little demoness sighed, a hint of bitterness in her voice. "Thinking about it, it's been over two hundred years, and I don't even know how I've managed to endure."

"Cough cough."

Xuan Yin cleared her throat a few times and said sternly, "I advise you to stop making a scene. If you wake Master up, let's see how it ends for you."

"…"

The little fox instantly dropped her mischievous act and nervously looked towards Immortal Miao Feng's room. She shrunk her head and asked softly, "Sister… is there really no room for negotiation?"

"None." Xuan Yin shook her head and said lightly.

"Uh…"

"Well then, I…"

Seeing that matters had come to this point, the little fox could only compromise. Pouting her lips, she mumbled, "I guess I'll go down the mountain with your husband. Both you and Master are so annoying, always nagging in my ear. My ears are getting calloused from it."

"Huh?"

"Me?"

"Let me go down the mountain with her?" Lu Xun pointed to himself, then turned to the little demoness next to him, his eyes filled with confusion.

Xuan Yin rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Just go with her."

"I can't fly a sword…" Lu Xun said wryly, "I guess she probably can't fly a sword either. So, are we going to walk out of the mountain on our legs?"

Xuan Yin smiled slightly, playfully blinked at him, and said gently, "You can ride."

In the mountains…

A silver-white, two-tailed large fox was moving through the lush woods, easily leaping several yards in a single bound.

And on the back of the large fox sat a handsome and sturdy young man, his legs tightly gripping the fox's waist, while his arms were tightly wrapped around the fox's neck.

"Hey… be gentler!" As she transformed back into her silver fox form, Xuan Shi said grumpily, "Why are you holding onto me so tightly?"

"You're too bouncy." Lu Xun said helplessly, "Can we slow down a bit?"

"Hmph!"

"I'll bounce you to death!"

As they conversed, Xuan Shi accelerated her running pace.
