Chapter 37 - Fragrance of Flowers(1/2)
As if he could see the uneasiness in Xie Wanyou's heart, the sect master patted Xie Wanyou's hand: "You are here as a teacher, and I won't let anything happen to you."
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but feel a sense of security and peace of mind.
"By the way, there is something I forgot to give you." The sect master took out a long black box from his body, handed it to Xie Wanyou, and said with a smile: "Open it and take a look."
Isn't it another gift?
Xie Wanyou took it hesitantly and slowly opened the lid of the box.
What was contained in the box was actually a beaded pendant, divided into upper and lower sections, separated by a jade piece in the middle. The upper section was strung with a crimson bead, and the lower section was strung with three beads of the same color.
Decorated with red tassels, it is really eye-catching.
This is--
Xie Wanyou realized something and immediately opened his eyes wide: "Is this the alchemist's token?"
"Exactly." The sect master smiled and said: "This is the second-grade high-level alchemy master's token, which belongs to you only."
Xie Wanyou took out the pendant, touched the crimson beads on it, and raised the corners of his lips: "No wonder I haven't seen senior brothers and sisters wearing alchemy tokens. The color is too eye-catching."
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but curiously asked the sect leader: "Master, what is the color of your alchemy token?"
The sect leader smiled and did not answer, and only said: "You will know when you reach the heaven level."
…
After talking to his master and coming out of the back mountain, Xie Wanyou went straight to the Yuying Hall.
Unknowingly, I have been delayed for so long, and I don’t know how Xiaobai is doing...
The more Xie Wanyou thought about it, the more worried he became. When he arrived at Yuying Palace, he was already out of breath.
After adjusting his breath, Xie Wanyou pushed the door open and walked in. The white fox lying on the ground turned his head instantly, looked over with sharp eyes, and asked with gritted teeth: "You still know how to come back!"
These words sounded quite resentful, but Xie Wanyou didn't have time to examine it carefully. He looked around the hall and couldn't find any trace of Xiaobai. He suddenly panicked: "Where is Xiaobai? Why is it missing?"
Feng Ranzhou became angry when he mentioned this, his tone was cold, and he said word by word: "...what do you mean?"
Xie Wanyou: "?"
Xie Wanyou looked at the white fox blankly, and suddenly saw that the fox fur on the white fox's chest and abdomen moved. After a while, a white cat head poked out from under him.
As soon as he saw Xie Wanyou, Mao Maotou's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted sweetly: "Mother! Xiaobai is here~"
"!?" Xie Wanyou was stunned, even wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes. How could Xiaobai run under Feng Ranzhou? Didn't this vixen sternly refuse in the morning, and now he actually agreed?
Seeing Xiaobai's head sticking out from the white fox's chest and abdomen, Xie Wanyou was reminded of those little penguins in the animal world who sit on the insteps of the big penguins and rely on the down on the big penguin's belly to keep out the cold.
Xie Wanyou: "..."
Her damn association skills!
Seeing Xie Wanyou's expression getting weirder and weirder, Feng Ranzhou couldn't help but feel a little unreasonably angry: "What are you looking at... why don't you take it away quickly!"
The vixen was annoyed, Xie Wanyou coughed, and before he was completely frightened, he quickly squatted down and clapped his hands at his silly cub: "Come on, Xiaobai."
When Xie Xiaobai saw his mother calling him, he immediately twisted his little body and squeezed out from under the white fox. He spread his four paws and ran towards Xie Wanyou happily: "Mother~"
They had not seen each other for a while, but the little thing was extremely enthusiastic. Xie Wanyou was rubbed by Zai Zai and kissed its little head: "Xiao Bai, did you listen to Uncle Fox?"
Hearing this, Xiaobai, who was rubbing Xie Wanyou enthusiastically, stopped, his eyes wandered, and the whole cub shrank smaller and smaller.
Xie Wanyou was very surprised. How had this little thing ever shown such a guilty conscience? Seeing how angry Feng Ranzhou was... Could it be that he was tortured very badly by Xiaobai?
She hesitantly raised her eyes to look at Feng Ranzhou, who sneered coldly: "Xie Xiaobai, tell yourself what bad things you did just now."
Being beaten down by the rightful owner, Xie Wanyou was really shocked. He lowered his head and looked at Xiaobai, who looked guilty: "Xiaobai, have you done anything bad to Uncle Fox?" Xie Xiaobai lowered his head listlessly, honestly.
Admitted his mistake: "Xiaobai wanted to know if his feet smelled bad, so he insisted on letting Uncle Fox smell them...but Uncle Fox seemed reluctant."
Xie Wanyou: "..."
Xiaobai, you are so brave.
Only if Feng Ranzhou was willing... In fact, when Xiaobai made such a request, Feng Ranzhou didn't even throw it away, which was far beyond Xie Wanyou's expectation.
And even though it was like this, Feng Ranzhou actually allowed it to crawl under him to keep warm... The vixen today must be too tolerant!
Xie Wanyou coughed, glanced at Feng Ranzhou, and pretended to educate Zai Zai seriously: "Xiao Bai, how could you treat Uncle Fox like this? Uncle Fox refuses to listen, so you should respect Uncle Fox's thoughts.
Right?"
Xie Xiaobai nodded, his ears drooping: "Mother, Xiaobai knows that he was wrong."
Children can be taught. Xie Wanyou put the child on the ground with satisfaction: "Then go and apologize to Uncle Fox."
Xie Xiaobai immediately ran up to Feng Ranzhou obediently.
Feng Ranzhou snorted coldly and did not look at it, only the tips of his ears twitched.
Xie Xiaobai looked up at him: "I'm sorry, Uncle Fox, I shouldn't have tricked you into smelling your feet. I know I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
This little kid gets very angry when he makes trouble, but he looks very good when he apologizes.
Feng Ranzhou deliberately embarrassed it and glanced at it: "What if I don't forgive you?"
Xie Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, took a few steps forward, and said as if he was dead: "Then, as punishment, Xiaobai can...can..."
"Can what?"
Xie Xiaobai lowered his head and turned his ears back into airplane ears out of disgust: "You can smell Uncle Fox's feet to see if they stink."
Feng Ranzhou: "???"
Xie Wanyou: "Pfft——"
Xie Wanyou couldn't hold it in any longer, so he held on to the wall beside him and punched it twice.
When Xie Xiaobai said he wanted to hear the important news, he really wanted to get close to Feng Ranzhou's feet. Feng Ranzhou didn't expect it. He was so frightened that he backed away. In the end, he was forced to the edge of the barrier by a cub. He was extremely embarrassed and said
: "No need - go away!"
Xie Xiaobai shook his hair, his eyes were very sincere: "Uncle Fox comes back for revenge, so don't be angry, okay?"
Feng Ranzhou retracted his four paws in humiliation: "Xie Wanyou, please take care of it!"
Xie Wanyou trembled all over and suppressed a smile: "Xiaobai is apologizing to you. If you forgive it, it will stop listening."
Feng Ranzhou: "..."
Neither mother nor son are good people!
Xie Xiaobai was still asking him sincerely: "Uncle, have you forgive me?"
Feng Ranzhou took a deep breath, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "...I forgive you."
Xie Xiaobai's eyes suddenly shone with joy, and he continued to ask with great expectation: "Uncle Fox, since you have forgiven me, can I still play with you in the future?"
Feng Ranzhou: "..." Why are you playing with him? Are you here to torment him again?
"Stop pushing your limits!" He balled himself up into a ball and didn't listen. He just swept the little cub with his tail and said gloomily: "It depends on your performance."
Xie Xiaobai was swept away by his tail and rolled around, but he was still very happy. He got up and ran towards Xie Wanyou: "Mother, Uncle Fox forgives me!"
Xie Wanyou stroked the cat's head lovingly.
Silly cub, Uncle Fox is forced to forgive you...
Xie Wanyou saw how Feng Ranzhou was defeated by Xie Xiaobai, and he could guess what happened here just now.
She originally thought that the one being bullied would be Xiaobai... But now it seems that the one who is really being bullied is Feng Ranzhou...
Xie Wanyou couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the vixen, walked to the barrier, knelt down and said to him: "Thank you for taking care of Xiaobai for me today... I will definitely make it up to you!"
Feng Ran didn't say a word all day long, he was tired.
Xie Wanyou saw his pair of fox ears twitching impatiently, and wisely took Zaizai away.
After leaving the door, Xie Xiaobai suddenly said quietly to Xie Wanyou: "Mother, actually Xiaobai has smelled Uncle Fox's feet before~"
Xie Wanyou was shocked and quickly looked back at Yuying Palace.
Even though Feng Ranzhou was taking all precautions, he probably didn't expect Xiaobai to have sniffed it secretly...
No... Xiaobai, why are you so skilled at doing this kind of thing!?
She couldn't bear her curiosity and lowered her voice and asked: "Really, really?"
Xie Xiaobai shook his tail: "Uncle Fox's feet don't stink, and they have a fragrant smell."
It tilted its head, a little confused: "Xiaobai seems to have smelled it somewhere..."
Xie Wanyou was first surprised that Feng Ranzhou's feet were fragrant, and then fell into deep thought.
Even if it doesn't stink, there is no reason for it to have a scent.
Xie Wanyou applied medicine to Feng Ranzhou every day. It was possible that it had a medicinal smell, but it was outrageous that it had a fragrant smell.
After walking far away, Xie Wanyou asked: "Xiao Bai, think about it again, what does that smell like?"
Xie Xiaobai thought for a long time before he was unsure: "It seems...it seems like a flowery smell?"
Floral scent?
