Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 289: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (16)

The sky was sunny at noon, but in the evening it suddenly started to rain.

Shi Qi put away her bedding and clothes, then sat cross-legged in the corridor in front of the door. She put some meatballs left over from lunch and some fruit cakes she had made on her plate. She ordered herself a cup of green tea, intending to relax while enjoying the beautiful view.

Except for the occasional strong wind that wet her hair with rain, she drank tea and hummed songs, it was a wonderful life.

Perhaps because Huikong appreciated her, she was moved to a new garden. In front of the courtyard there was a tall cherry tree, but the season had already passed, and the withered branches and shadows looked truly desolate.

The Queen Mother will come to the temple to pray for blessings next month, and now there is the incident of the fox demon in the temple, so the Queen Mother's prayer has become a variable.

In order to return to the court as soon as possible, she had to make careful plans.

Xuanyuan Wuhen now attaches so much importance to the matter of the fox demon. If she can find out the real culprit as soon as possible, then her return to the court... is just around the corner.

"I've been in this world for a long time, but this kind of scene is still rare. As expected, glory can only rely on oneself." Shi Qi took a light bite of the fruit, and the sweet taste of red beans filled his mouth and nose.

Have some green tea for a mellow and refreshing taste.

Bald: "Host, are you planning to catch the real murderer and return to the palace?"

Shi Qi said, "What else?"

Bald: "I heard that Prime Minister Su wants to invite Taoist Priest Xianyi back to the palace. Why don't you try to be his little follower and sneak into the palace first? This Taoist Priest is probably Prime Minister Su's man. You are going to be the Prime Minister in the future. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Shi Qi paused, then raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a good idea, it's a shortcut."

"Then let me ask you, how can I meet him? Does the Taoist priest accept disciples casually? Does he accept female disciples? Do I have the aura of a heroine? If he accepts me, what will my status be? Can I become a junior Taoist priest? If I become a junior Taoist priest, will I still have an official career? Besides, the Taoist priests of Xuanyuan Country do not accept female disciples."

Crackling, Tutu felt that the host's questions were more frequent than rain.

"This...that...that is to say...is there a possibility? I'm just saying, hehe." The bald man's round face turned red and he smiled awkwardly.

"How about... try dressing up as a man?" Tutu suggested.

Shi Qi's mouth stiffened slightly, and the fingers holding the teacup tightened a little.

Bald eyes blinked: "I shut up..."

Before, disguising as a man was a good idea, as it saved a lot of trouble, but once discovered, it would be the end of you.

Besides, Shi Qi has watched too many TV dramas and always feels that those women who dress up as men without being discovered are mostly deceiving the audience, unless their dressing skills are amazing.

With such a delicate and beautiful appearance, if she hadn't been talking to a fool, she would have been found out for deceiving the emperor on her first day in the palace. Why would she wait until now...

Uh, never mind, let’s not talk about IQ when talking about drama, she doesn’t have much anyway.

As the sky gradually darkened, the candles on the beams were blown by the wind, flickering.

Shi Qi suddenly thought of the candlelight she used to release the fox that day, which also flickered like this.

"Hiss, it rained that day too." Shi Qi took a sip of tea, swung her little feet, and looked contented.

"It's been three days since we last met, my dear~" Before seeing the person, he heard his voice first, and this familiar voice scared Shi Qi.

I looked around quickly and felt relieved when I found that there was no one around.

"Why am I hallucinating? Is this green tea poisonous?" Shi Qi looked at the teacup, a little puzzled.

"Haha, my lord, you are still so straightforward and cute. I am here."

Shi Qi's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up again, an upside-down white head appeared in front of him.

One second…two seconds.

"I...ka." Adhering to the principle of not swearing, Shi Qi tried hard to hold back his words even though he was scared to death in his heart.

The man jumped easily and finally faced Shi Qi: "Master Qingxin, I miss you so much~"

Shi Qi sat on the ground, not knowing whether to stand up or sit down.

What bad luck! What you fear will come true.

"Donor... is wanted?" Shi Qi pouted, embarrassed.

"Yeah." A fox smiled.

Shi Qi: "Then... the donor is desperate?"

"Yeah." A fox smiled flatteringly.

Shi Qi: "Could it be that the donor is here to seek refuge with me?"

"Well...yes." A fox smiled shyly.

The person in front of me was not the same as when I first saw him. He was covered in dirt, and the dirt on his face mixed with wounds covered his stunning appearance. His hair was so white that even a bird could see him. Only his eyes were still bright and charming.

Shi Qi suddenly woke up, avoided the fox's sight, and secretly laughed at himself for almost being bewitched again.

No, I can't be bewitched this time no matter what.

"Amitabha, I am a poor nun in a temple and I dare not take in the donor on my own. You should look for another place." Shi Qi calmed down and said lightly.

Sure enough, that pitiful voice came immediately.

"Master... do you really not want me? I can do anything..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender fingers and lightly stroked Shi Qi's thigh, which was quite provocative.

Even though this fox was covered in dirt, he was born to charm everyone. Shi Qi had to admit that he would never be able to learn the charm of the fox.

Shi Qi felt an itch on his thigh, and saw a fox gradually approaching with pursed lips, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

He picked up the chopsticks very quickly, picked up a fruit and stuffed it into Xiang Ling's mouth.

"Uh uh... ahem."

This was an unexpected scene. Xiang Ling choked on the sudden food.

"Master...well, slave..." Well, this fruit is so delicious, I want to eat another one.

Shi Qi caught a glimpse of the fox's gaze towards Guozi, and found it somewhat amusing: "Amitabha, form is emptiness. Don't be so servile, you and I are nothing but things in this world."

"No, that won't do. You were the one who freed me, so of course I'll work for you. If you're willing to take me in, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master and make a pact with you." The fox said, pouting his mouth as he moved closer. This time, he didn't close his eyes, but stared straight at the fruit.

Shi Qi guessed the fox's intention and found it very funny, so he followed his wish, picked up another fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, saying lightly: "If you want to eat, just say so, don't always think about pleasing others with your beauty. You obviously don't like to interact with people, so why bother to please me."

Xiang Ling's mouth was stuffed full. As he looked at the woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth stiffened slightly.

"But... people only like the beauty of foxes."

Shi Qi looked at the figure that dimmed in front of him and shook his head: "I like it, but I don't have to give it to you. Do you think you will pluck all your fur and make a fox fur coat for me just because I said I like your fur?"

Xiang Ling's scalp tightened, and he quickly shook his head: "Sir, except for these things that hurt me and kill me, I can do everything else."

When the nun said this, he thought of his previous master.

He also said that he liked his fur, but even though he was his own master, he still refused.

Perhaps, he still values ​​himself more in his heart?

So, is this the reason why he has not been able to reach the Nine-Tailed Fox yet?

"I don't want your life, and you don't have to be so polite. Eat these and leave early. The Buddha's light is shining here. You are not in the painting now, so you can't stay for long." After Shi Qi finished speaking, he stood up, stretched his muscles and breathed in the fresh air.

"Then let's make a contract. As long as we make a contract, well, I can hide at any time." Xiang Ling stood up and stuffed another fruit into his mouth.

There was one last fruit on the plate, small and delicate, and he was very hungry.

Just when I was about to reach out to take it, I thought of something and subconsciously withdrew my hand.

"This is a sacred place in Buddhism, and I am sorry that I am incompetent. You'd better leave quickly." Shi Qi took a breath and silently recited the Heart Purification Mantra in her heart.

"I... understand what you mean, sir. I will leave." The fox looked pitiful, as if abandoned by a scumbag man, oh no, a scumbag woman.

Looking at the back of a certain fox as it left, looking haggard and fragile, Shi Qi recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra again.

To be honest, it was hard for her not to be moved.

This is an eight-tailed fox, and a handsome fox at that. The handsome fox wants to recognize me as his master!

Who could refuse this!?

Well, if she didn’t have to serve as an official in the palace in the future, she would have taken him in and put him together with Baldy.

Tutu: "?"
