The little fox does not want to hide the cub

Li Ruan said "Oops", before he picked up the cub, Jiang Shen had already bent down and scooped up the poor cub from the ground.

"None of us foxes would pamper children like that!" On the way back, Li Ruan lay on Jiang Shen's shoulder and said seriously.

Jiang Shen carried the bought food and goat milk with one hand, and carefully held the fox cub with the other hand, and gently stroked him with the pulp of his thumb.The little cub felt comfortable and rolled in his palm.

"Really?" Jiang Shen asked with a smile, "Then how do you foxes raise your children?"

Li Ruan said: "If we are foxes, the cubs will be driven out of the nest after they can run and jump, and let them fend for themselves... No, they will be self-reliant."

The cub who was rolling in Jiang Shen's palm paused and raised his head in a daze.

Li Ruan noticed it, wagging his tail, and said deliberately: "I think Zai Zai will be able to learn to walk in two or three days at most, and then drive him out of the cave and let him hunt by himself."

"Hey, blah!" The cub hugged Jiang Shen's fingers tightly, his eyes filled with water mist in fright.

Pathetic.

Jiang Shen touched him: "Little fool, your father is joking with you."

"Ow?"

"It's true, he won't drive you out." After raising the child for a few days, Jiang Shen could almost understand what his cub was talking about, and comforted him, "When you can transform into a human form, you still have to fight with us." Going back to the palace. At that time, you will have to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, how to use soldiers to fight wars, and learn how to govern the country. These are much more important than learning to hunt."

The little cub stared at him blankly, then suddenly leaned back, and fell into Jiang Shen's palm, his hind legs trembling.

Li Ruan laughed so hard that she almost fell off Jiang Shen's shoulder.

When it comes to scaring children, Jiang Shen is much worse than him.

It's really bad.

They didn't leave very far at first, Jiang Shen hugged his two little foxes, one big and one small, but they seemed to be about the same age, and quickly returned to the cave.

Before they entered the cave, the little cub felt something, and suddenly poked his head out of Jiang Shen's palm.

He hugged Jiang Shen's fingers, raised his head, and said ferociously at a bush in the distance: "Aww! Aww!"

The bushes in the distance trembled slightly.

Jiang Shen paused, turned his head to look at the little fox lying on his shoulder.

The little fox was also a little surprised.

Surprisingly, the little cub discovered something hidden in the bush almost at the same time as him, but he had practiced for hundreds of years, and this fox cub was only ten days old.Although it is known that Zai Zai is born with strong spiritual power, it is almost unheard of for a human-male hybrid to be so strong.

What's more... Zai Zai has never been so hostile to other people.

When this little bastard was born, it alarmed all the spirits within a hundred li radius. In fact, occasionally some little monsters would come over curious to have a look these days, but most of them were scared away by Li Ruan.But no matter who or how he came to find out the news, Zai Zai never expressed any obvious hostility.

But this time...

The little cub's fur was blown up, and its short tail was wagging rapidly behind it, like a fluffy ball.Li Ruan stretched out his tail, touched him lightly, comforted him for a moment, and then looked at the bush again: "Still coming out?"

The bush moved again, and a weasel crawled slowly out of it.

Jiang Shen had seen this weasel before.

The little fox's cave was snatched from the weasel spirit. Not long after Jiang Shen arrived at Changming Mountain, the weasel spirit even fought with the little fox, and bit the little fox's leg that time.

Li Ruan narrowed his eyes: "Do you want to fight with me again?"

The fur on the cub's body exploded again: "Awwhhh!"

"No no no—no!"

The weasel seemed to be frightened by them, trembling uncontrollably.

It looked up at Jiang Shen and the little fox on his shoulder, then at the cub in Jiang Shen's hand, and retreated tremblingly: "I'm just... I'm just passing by, passing by!"

Before they could say anything, the weasel retreated into the bushes, then turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Shen frowned: "He is..."

He heard from the little fox that the weasel spirit never gave up on taking back the cave, and always came to challenge him from time to time.I thought it was the same this time, but why did I run away so quickly?

Are the monsters acting so weird?

But the little fox obviously didn't think much about it. He slid off Jiang Shen's shoulder and landed between Jiang Shen's arms. He stretched out his paw and rubbed the cub: "It's really powerful to scare away monsters who have practiced for hundreds of years. Worthy of being my son."

The little boy raised his head triumphantly: "Aww..."

Jiang Shen asked: "Is he really scared away?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" The little fox didn't care, "Didn't you feel it? The coercion of our cub's monster power just now is very powerful, these little monsters can't bear it at all. But, you have to learn to hold back , otherwise other innocent little monsters will be frightened by you. Also, your father is a mortal, you can't scare him..."

The little fox chattered and began to educate his son, Jiang Shen looked in the direction the weasel left, and without thinking about it, he carried the two foxes into the cave.

In the distance, the weasel ran out of the valley until it stopped in a forest.

A white light flew out from him.

"Don't kill me!" Weasel fell to the ground, trembling all over, "I took you to see, they live there now, I didn't lie to you, don't kill me!!"

The white light flashed twice, and a man's voice sounded: "Don't worry, I won't kill you."

The weasel was too frightened to look up, and the voice said leisurely again: "But you have to be obedient and help me obediently. That little fox demon ruined my big business, and almost ruined my cultivation, so you want to deal with him too. By cooperating with me, you are also helping yourself, understand?"

The weasel dodged its eyes and let out a low whimper.

"What? You said Shen Wuwei and Jiang Chengzhou are both missing?" Li Ruan pricked up his ears in surprise.

Jiang Shen was pouring the simmering goat's milk into a small wooden bowl, and hugged the cub who had been whimpering to the side of the bowl, letting the cub lie on the edge of the wooden bowl to drink milk obediently.

Then he raised his head and sighed: "I also just received the news."

In the past few days, Jiang Shen only cared about taking care of his two little foxes, and handed over all the affairs of the capital to Yu Xiu. He didn't care what happened there.But as soon as he got off the mountain today, he was stopped by the messenger who told him a lot of recent events.

"It is said that on the day of the Longevity Banquet, the imperial guards searched the palace for a long time, but did not catch Shen Wuwei who escaped from the Taiji Hall." Jiang Shendao, "Prince Su was imprisoned on the spot, but just two days ago, he was also arrested. Disappeared from the cell. The guards guarding him heard nothing, not even the cell door was broken."

Li Ruan: "Shen Wuwei rescued him?"

Jiang Shen nodded: "Most likely."

Li Ruan fell silent.

That day, he had clearly crushed Shen Wuwei's pill core, could it be...

"I underestimated the enemy." Li Ruan lowered his head, "The Taoist may not only have a golden core cultivation base, but he may have already transformed into a god. I destroyed his golden core, but his primordial spirit has not been destroyed. This will at most seriously injure him, and he cannot be abolished. spell."

A monk who has reached the stage of transforming spirits can leave the body at any time, and his power is no longer imprisoned by the physical body.The destruction of a pill core is naturally not a big deal.

Moreover, after reaching the stage of transforming gods, it is indeed time to pass through the thunder tribulation.

Shen Wuwei didn't lie, it was Li Ruan who underestimated him.

Li Ruan muttered in a low voice: "If I had known earlier, I would have—"

A cultivator in the transformation stage cannot simply abolish his cultivation, at least Li Ruan cannot.If he knew this was the case, he shouldn't have hesitated then.

It should... kill people directly.

He obviously has a chance.

The cub ate most of his body and buried it in the small bowl, but he seemed to feel that his father was a little depressed. He raised his head, revealing his completely soaked head that was still dripping with milk.

"Aww?" Zai Zai blinked.

"It's okay, you continue to eat."

Jiang Shen touched him reassuringly, and opened his arms again, letting the little fox jump into his arms.

"It's not your fault." Jiang Shen said softly, "You said that the road to the ascension of the Yaozu is difficult, and killing mortal lives will damage merit. You have practiced hard for so many years, and you don't need to break the precepts for Shen Wuwei."

"But let him escape this time, he will definitely help Prince Su do bad things." Li Ruan lay in Jiang Shen's arms sleepily, "and last time he said that he came to the capital not only to prevent you from succeeding to the throne, he seemed to be Still looking for something else."

Although he didn't know what he was looking for, Li Ruan always felt uneasy.

"It's okay." Jiang Shen rubbed his head, "You and I are not the only ones involved in this matter, how to deal with him is not our turn to worry about."

Li Ruan raised his head: "Ah? Who else?"

Jiang Shen smiled: "Have you forgotten who else Shen Wuwei has harmed?"

Li Ruan understood: "You mean... Your Majesty?"

"When I left the palace, I specifically told Yu Xiu that no matter what happens during this period, he will be the master himself. If you really can't be the master, please ask the Holy One for instructions and don't bother me." Jiang Shen sighed, "Guess who? , knowing that I am in Changming Mountain now, how dare you send someone to bother me with these things?"

Li Ruan: "..."

He understands the truth, why Jiang Shen can say the first half of the sentence so confidently, did Yu Xiu owe him something in his previous life?

But this second half...

Li Ruan asked: "Is the Holy Majesty looking for you today?"

"Yes." Jiang Shen seemed a little unhappy when he brought up this matter, and said quietly, "He also wanted me to meet him, saying that if I didn't go, he would burn the written imperial edict, and I will never think about it again. got it."

Li Ruan: "..."

Can the throne be such a joke?

"Then you just go." Li Ruan said.

Although he didn't want to leave Jiang Shen, Emperor Chongxuan would use such a condition to ask Jiang Shen to go back. It should be because he had something very important to discuss, and he couldn't stop him.

"It's not me, it's us." Jiang Shen took out a letter from his pocket, unfolded it to Li Ruan, and sneered, "He doesn't want to see me, he wants to see his little grandson."

The meeting was scheduled for the next night, and Jiang Shen arrived at the foot of Changming Mountain with the two foxes in his arms on time.

Emperor Chongxuan hadn't lost his temper at all, and chose the meeting place at the foot of Changming Mountain to be an Orion's home, instead of directly asking Jiang Shen to bring his cub back to the palace regardless.

The hunter Jiang Shen knew him. When the little fox had just given birth, Jiang Shen bought fresh minced meat from his house and went back to the cave to make porridge for the little fox.

But how Emperor Chongxuan knew about this place, and how he could arrange this place for them to meet, he didn't know.

In fact, he has gradually felt recently that there may be nothing in this world that Emperor Chongxuan does not know.

There are few things he wants to do but can't do.

At night, the foot of Changming Mountain was completely silent, only the Orion's house was still lit with candles.Jiang Shen walked to the gate of Orion's house, the house was quiet inside and out, even the yellow dog tied in front of the gate was dozing off with its ears drooping, and nothing unusual could be seen from inside to outside.

Li Ruan whispered: "There are guards in the forest, I can feel it."

"Well, I know." Jiang Shen said.

When the emperor comes, it is impossible not to bring some guards by his side.He spent all his time disguising this place as normal, not wanting to alarm others and arouse suspicion, but also to protect their whereabouts.

However, there are so many arrangements just to meet his little grandson, which is a bit too much work.

Jiang Shen didn't rush in, he lowered his head and asked Li Ruan, "Are you really not coming back?"

Li Ruan wagged his tail: "No change."

Jiang Shen: "Father said in the letter that he knows that Zai Zai can't transform into a human form, and he doesn't mind."

"Who knows if he said that on purpose to see Zai Zai?" Li Ruan stuffed Zai Zai into Jiang Shen's collar, and the latter didn't quite understand why Dad stayed there by himself, holding Jiang Shen with his front paws A round little head poked out from the edge of the clothes.

Li Ruan pushed that head in as well, and said: "Ordinary people are afraid of monsters. Seeing the prototype of Zai Zai, you may be so scared. Let him see me first. If he is not afraid, I will let him see Zai Zai again." cub."

Jiang Shen hesitated to speak, wanting to say that apart from the group of monsters who respect power, perhaps no one in this world would be frightened by the prototype of Zai Zai.

Who would be afraid of a fluffy little pompom?

But he didn't say anything in the end, and stepped forward to knock on the courtyard door.

Soon someone opened the door of the main house and walked out.

It's Eunuch Chang.

Eunuch Chang changed into folk clothes, laughed when he saw Jiang Shen, and said, "The young master has arrived, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."

He led Jiang Shen to the main house, but he didn't follow into the door, but stepped back half a step to the side, signaling Jiang Shen to go in alone.

Jiang Shen walked in, and Eunuch Chang closed the door behind him.

Candlelight was lit inside the room, and Emperor Chongxuan sat on the main seat in front of him, and also changed into a common folk attire.Seeing Jiang Shen enter the door, he seemed to want to get up, but he held back and coughed lightly: "Why are you here so late, come here, let me have a look."

Jiang Shen walked over with the little fox in his arms.

The little fox squatted in Jiang Shen's arms, raised his head and chest, and was about to speak, when suddenly he was embraced by a pair of hands.

"This is my grandson? So cute!" Emperor Chongxuan hugged the little fox and rubbed it with his hands, his eyes were full of surprises, but he was a little puzzled, "But... did it grow a little faster? Just now Is the cub born this big?"

Li Ruan: "..."

Jiang Shen: "..."

With a blank expression on his face, Jiang Shen snatched his little fox back from Emperor Chongxuan.

"This is your daughter-in-law." As he said, he took out a small pompom from his clothes and put it in Emperor Chongxuan's hand, "This is your good grandson."

The little cub was still a little dizzy when he was pulled out, his body swayed from side to side a few times, and he sat on the palm of Emperor Chongxuan.

Then he raised his head and called out softly: "Wow."
