The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Of course Jiang Shen knew what double cultivation meant.

Nowadays, ghost story books are the most popular among folks, especially in the Jiangnan generation with open folk customs. Some monsters described in popular stories are even sought after by the people.

The word "Shuangxiu" was read by Jiang Shen from a fairytale book.

But this word seems to refer to... copulation in the storybook.

Li Ruan blinked and asked doubtfully, "Does double cultivation mean anything else?"

The little fox didn't seem to understand why he asked such a question, with his head tilted slightly, looking innocent and ignorant.

Jiang Shen suddenly felt that he was thinking too much.

This little fox has obviously never been with mortals, his mind is pure and flawless, no different from a child, how could he have such dirty thoughts——

In the next second, Li Ruan said surprisingly: "I want you to sleep with me."

Jiang Shen: "Cough cough cough——!"

Unexpectedly, the little fox would say such words, Jiang Shen was caught off guard and choked, coughing violently.

Where did this little fox learn the silly words?

Jiang Shen has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. Under the pressure of his status, he has to abide by etiquette, but he doesn't think he is a serious person.Especially when I went to the frontier to garrison, I met friends of all kinds of religions, and they were by no means old-fashioned.

But it was the little fox who said this.

Jiang Shen suddenly had the feeling that his son had failed at school.

His rib injury hadn't fully healed yet, and his coughing affected the old injury, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Jiang Shen was dizzy from coughing, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that bright red approaching, a fluffy paw resting on his chest.He patted him lightly twice, as if he wanted to help him relax.

He raised his eyes and met the other party... with a look of disgust.

"Don't be nervous, I won't touch you right now." Li Ruan said, "You are so tall, but you are so timid. Are you so afraid of my double cultivation? I told you it won't hurt you."

Li Ruan scolded him, sighed again, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Although I am a fox demon, I am not a real beast. Don't be afraid."

Jiang Shen: "..."

It's all about what.

Jiang Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ahem... Who taught you to say this?"

"Ah?" Li Ruan asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"

"Beast." Jiang Shen asked, "Do you know what this word means?"

"Of course I know, it means bad guys." Li Ruan said proudly, "Axue taught me."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Although it seems to be right, but there is always something wrong.

Jiang Shen asked: "Axue, is that the little tit today?"

"No." Seeing that he no longer coughed, Li Ruan got up from him and said, "Axue is a very powerful monster, even stronger than me. But he rarely leaves the cave, and he doesn't like others to disturb him .”

"Better than you...?"

Jiang Shen looked him up and down.

"I was very powerful before!" Li Ruan saw the suspicion in his eyes, and said angrily, "Don't believe me, I have very high mana, after I recover my mana with your double cultivation, I can instantly heal your wounded mana." Cure!"

Jiang Shen dragged his voice: "Oh, so you are so powerful?"

Li Ruan: "It's true!"

When the little fox is angry, his ears are pricked up and his back is arched, but it doesn't make people feel scared at all, it just shows cuteness.

Jiang Shen pursed his lower lip and stopped teasing him.

He asked again: "So, you want to practice dual cultivation with me just to restore mana?"

Li Ruan nodded: "Yes."

"But can't monsters practice on their own? Why do they have to practice with others?"

"Well..." Li Ruan's eyes wandered, "Of course I have my reasons."

It's actually quite embarrassing to be struck back to the original form by the thunder.

Especially before he crossed the thunder calamity this time, Ashe had specially reminded him that his cultivation had not yet reached a great level, so the thunder calamity might be more or less ominous.

But at that time Li Ruan didn't listen.

The little animals in the mountains all know what he did, so it's fine if they can't hide it, the mortal in front of him is an outsider, Li Ruan doesn't want to tell others such embarrassing things for the time being.

Jiang Shen was so transparent, he could tell at a glance that the little fox didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue to ask.

Jiang Shen rested on the spot for a while, and felt that his physical strength had almost recovered, so he wanted to get up.He had been lying in the cave for so many days, although the little fox brought him fresh water to wash himself, but it was not convenient after all.Now that I can get up and walk around, I want to take a bath.

The sound of water can be heard here, so there must be running water nearby.

Jiang Shen thought for a while, and asked, "Little fox, around here..."

"I have a name." Before he finished speaking, Li Ruan said first, "My name is Li Ruan."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Li Ruan: "What's so funny!"

"It's nothing." Jiang Shen twisted his fingers, remembering the smooth and soft touch of the fox's tail, and whispered, "It's quite soft."

Li Ruan patted the ground with his paw in displeasure.

Jiang Shen cleared his throat, and said seriously, "My name is Jiang Shen, Shen Du's Shen."

But Jiang Shen failed to take a bath in the end.

He guessed right, there is indeed running water in this canyon.According to the little fox, not far from the cave, there is a stream running through the woods, and the clear water they usually drink is taken from that stream.Walking up the stream for a while, there is a spring water with normal temperature in all seasons.

The hot spring is a little far away, although the road is not difficult, it is not small for Jiang Shen now.

Besides, his trauma has not fully healed.

I can only give up for the time being.

After another four or five days, Jiang Shen used the roots the little fox found to cut a more useful walking stick, and gradually became proficient in using it, and finally went to the hot spring accompanied by the little fox.

It was only when I went there that I found that the spring was not connected to the creek.

The stream in the forest flows down from the top of the mountain, while the spring water gushes out from the ground and is still steaming.

Jiang Shen stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, it was neither hot nor cold, just the most suitable temperature for bathing.

"The water is not hot, don't worry, I used to practice here before." Li Ruan wagged his tail triumphantly, "This is the place with the most aura in the entire Changming Mountain. Normally, no one dares to approach it except me. It's cheap for you."

Ever since Li Ruan mentioned that he used to be a very powerful monster, but Jiang Shen didn't believe it, he always looked for opportunities to brag about himself in front of Jiang Shen.

But the effect...

Such a soft and fluffy little guy, said that he was once the king of the mountain?

Anyway, Jiang Shen didn't believe it.

He took off his coat, carefully supported the reef on the shore, and slowly submerged his body into the spring water.

He has no way of knowing the abundance of aura that the little fox said, he can only feel that the hot spring water is indeed extremely comfortable to soak in, not inferior to the royal soup pool at all.I don't know if it's an illusion, but this spring water seems to have the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, as if it can wash away all fatigue.

Jiang Shen leaned against the bank of the water and closed his eyes to rest, when there was another rustling sound behind him.

It was the little fox who fell down beside his head.

"Aren't you coming in?" Jiang Shen asked him.

"No." Li Ruan shook his head, "It will wet the hair."

It is.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Jiang Shen discovered that the little fox loves to be clean, especially this fur, which is not easy to get dirty and will not get wet.

Even after eating, they will carefully lick their paws clean.

Jiang Shen still felt strange: "Didn't you say that you used to practice here often?"

Li Ruan said: "That's the time to be a human being."

Be a man.

Jiang Shen's eyes moved slightly: "You used to...be able to transform into a human form?"

"Of course, I'm a big monster who has cultivated for hundreds of years." Li Ruan rolled his eyes, pretending to be mysterious, "Do you want to know what my human form looks like, it's so pretty, I can change it for you. "

How can anyone say that he is good-looking, this little monster.

Jiang Shen smiled lightly, but he was really curious, and said, "Okay, show me the change."

Li Ruan: "It's impossible to say that it will change, there are conditions."

Jiang Shen: "What condition?"

Li Ruan: "Double cultivation."

Jiang Shen: "..."

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Although Jiang Shen did promise to repay the little fox for saving his life, it doesn't mean that he is willing to repay in this way, it's still with a fox.

This is ridiculous.

What's more...

Jiang Shen glanced at the little fox.

The body of this little monster is only a little bigger than his palm, has he ever thought about how they can——

Jiang Shen pressed the space between his eyebrows, unwilling to think about it any further.

The little fox didn't seem to have thought about this at all. He lay down by the spring and grabbed Jiang Shen's hair hanging on the bank angrily: "Stingy ghost, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have saved you. You're disobedient."

He also softly threatened: "If it wasn't for my lack of mana, I'd lock you in a cave, and harvest three times a day to squeeze you dry."

Jiang Shen: "..."

This little fox has learned something messy all day.

Terrible.

Worried that he would say something shocking again, Jiang Shen quickly changed the subject: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but my injury is not healed, so I can't help you for the time being."

As he spoke, he pretended to be weak: "Ahem... Look at me now, how can I double cultivate with you?"

The little fox blinked, and his voice weakened: "That's right."

Jiang Shen took the opportunity to ask him: "There is no way, no need for dual cultivation, but it can help you?"

"Well... yes, yes." The little fox grabbed his hair, "Just let me get closer to you."

Jiang Shen: "So simple?"

"It's not easy." The little fox said, "I will absorb your essence. Although the effect is not as good as that of dual cultivation, I thought about it. If I absorb it for a while, maybe I can do it."

As he spoke, he got up and turned around happily: "Look, I've been with you every day recently, and I feel much better."

This should be considered a pleasant surprise.

According to common sense, the Yaozu must directly absorb the essence of mortals in order to improve themselves.

But for some reason, Li Ruanming didn't absorb Jiang Shen's essence these few days, but just ate and lived with him, not even getting close, and his strength was still recovering little by little.

If he could absorb a little of Jiang Shen's essence every day, he would definitely be able to recover faster.

In the end, maybe he no longer needs dual cultivation, and he can practice again by himself.

Jiang Shen asked: "How can I be closer to you?"

"Just get closer." Li Ruan came over, lowered his head, and rubbed his head against Jiang Shen's side.

He seemed to be very careful, quickly rubbed his hands and backed away, carefully observing Jiang Shen's face: "I just took a little energy, do you feel it, does it feel uncomfortable?"

The little fox's head is very round, and it feels warm and soft to the touch, which makes people itchy.

"No." Jiang Shen pursed his lower lip, then glanced at the little fox who was squatting cautiously next to him, "Try...try again?"

It is impossible to try again.

Jiang Shen was still in the spring, and Li Ruan hated getting his fur wet.

You can only wait until you return to the cave.

Li Ruan's cave was originally really simple, just like an ordinary cave, without any trace of living.Jiang Shen couldn't even imagine how the little fox lived here for hundreds of years.

But now it is different.

A lot of dry firewood was piled up near the entrance of the cave, which the little fox picked up when the weather was fine.It's winter now, and it's likely to snow again in a few days. Jiang Shen is a mortal, and he can't stand the cold, so lighting a fire is a must.

There was a small fire in the middle of the cave, they had been away for too long, there was only a faint spark left in the fire, Jiang Shen picked up a firewood and stirred it, and the flames rekindled.

Going further inside, it is divided into two parts.

On the left side are some fruits, two hares that the little fox hunted last night, and some sweet potatoes.On the right is a small bed of hay.

Jiang Shen was a person who went with the situation in the past, the most obvious thing is that he is actually a pampered son, because he can't sleep on a hard bed.In the past, when I was marching, I would spread a few more layers of mattresses on the camp bed if I could, and if I couldn’t, I would just sit like this until dawn, and I would only sleep when I was really sleepy.

Therefore, the hay was deliberately spread three times the original amount, piled high, and then the previously damaged clothes were washed and spread on the ground.

Although crude, it is still soft to lie on.

Jiang Shen sat down beside the bed.

His right leg still couldn't bear the strength, and the wound was still a little red and swollen.After all, Jiang Shen is not a doctor, and he doesn't know how to set bones in the Book of Changes. The way to treat the injury is to apply some herbal medicine and simply fix the injury with tree branches.

As for whether he can fully recover in this way, and whether there will be sequelae, Jiang Shen himself is not sure.

However, the little fox is very confident.

He said that as long as his mana recovered, Jiang Shen could be cured with a snap of his fingers.

——This little monster has boasted so many times that Jiang Shen no longer knows whether to believe it or not.

He put the crutch in his hand aside and felt something tug on him.

Lowering his head, the little fox was squatting at his feet, a fluffy paw was hooking his clothes.He didn't speak, just stared at him.

Jiang Shen naturally knew what he wanted, and said with a smile, "Come on, what do you want to do?"

Li Ruan jumped into his arms directly.

Little Fox is really light.

His tail was still hanging on the ground, and his body was only a small ball, which Jiang Shen could completely encircle with two palms.The bright red down is thick and soft, so soft that you can hardly feel the bones.

Jiang Shen supported the little fox, not even daring to use force.

It seems that if you use a little force, it will hurt him.

Compared to Jiang Shen who was at a loss, Li Ruan was much more at ease.

He first rubbed against Jiang Shen's arms, raised his two front paws to support Jiang Shen's chest, buried his head in the socket of Jiang Shen's shoulders, and took a deep breath.

The essence of Zhiyang entered the body along with the breath, like rain after a long drought, and the whole body was thoroughly washed.

Li Ruan was so comfortable that the tip of her tail was trembling, as if she was still not satisfied, she arched back and forth in Jiang Shen's arms.

With this appearance, even the cuddest puppy Jiang Shen has ever raised can't compare.

Jiang Shen smiled a little, and raised a hand, wanting to touch the little fox's head.

But before he touched it, his movements froze suddenly.

"You—" Jiang Shen suddenly grabbed one of the little fox's paws and gritted his teeth, "...where are you stepping on?"

"what?"

The little fox raised his head from his arms, but the other paw still did not move away.

Even because one paw was in Jiang Shen's hand, his body was unbalanced, and he stepped on it with greater force.

Jiang Shen quickly let go: "Don't step on it anymore."

The little fox seemed a little confused, he blinked: "But the smell of Jingyuan is the strongest here."

As he said that, he stepped on it tentatively: "Is it uncomfortable? Was it injured before?"

Jiang Shen took a deep breath and gritted his lower teeth lightly.
