Volume 1, Chapter 48 – Feeding Her Sweets

Song Shiyuan opened the food box and took a look.

Inside were three very beautiful pastries.

The pastries had been pressed with premade molds into the rounded shape of fox paws.

On the delicate, sweet, creamy white pastry bodies, tempting pink petals were also decorated.

This was the first time Song Shiyuan had seen such exquisite and beautiful pastries.

Were such pastries really just made casually? And made too much?

She found it somewhat hard to believe this explanation.

Song Shiyuan took out a small piece of pastry and put it in her mouth to taste.

There was a faint milk fragrance. It was very sweet, yet not cloying.

The pastry also had the fresh sweetness of flower petals. This sweet feeling reminded Song Shiyuan of rose sugar.

Very delicious pastries. This fox beauty’s craftsmanship was quite good.

The little fox demon should like eating these pastries, right?

If only she had such skills, she would definitely make pastries for the little fox demon every day.

“Another day, I’ll go ask about how to make these pastries,” Song Shiyuan muttered to herself.

She imagined the scene of feeding the little fox demon sweets.

Her heart couldn’t help but surge with an eager, itching feeling.

The little fox demon waiting to be fed would surely look very cute.

…

Song Shiyuan carried the pastries to the stream. She discovered the little fox demon had already arrived early.

As before, she used her true essence spiritual power to activate the talismans, and paper figures leaped into motion one by one.

They took the food box from Song Shiyuan’s hands and, holding it steady and secure, delivered it before the little fox demon.

“It’s you all again.” The silver-haired fox demon girl’s eyes curved into crescents.

When she saw these little paper figures, she knew that mysterious person who had been secretly helping her with magic from the shadows had appeared again.

“However, I don’t have anything to do today, so I don’t need your help,” the fox demon girl said with a smile.

Those paper figures immediately waved their hands and shook their heads. They worked hard to lift the food box before the little fox demon.

“Ah? This is for me?” The fox demon girl’s face showed surprise.

Through this period of interaction, she and that person hiding in the shadows had already formed a strange tacit understanding.

That person appeared every day, and every morning would punctually wait here.

They had never met, yet seemed like old friends who had known each other for years.

The other party didn’t show themselves, and the little fox demon had no intention of actively seeking them out.

That would be impolite.

She just hadn’t expected that this time, the other party would actually take the initiative to give her a gift.

This move by Song Shiyuan was completely beyond Lu Zhuxin’s expectations.

Song Shiyuan was trapped and locked in this Fox Palace. Where could she have found a gift to give to the little fox demon?

Lu Zhuxin couldn’t think of it.

Hm?

This box looked a bit familiar.

Lu Zhuxin remembered. When Hu Mei’er brought her food, she had also used a box very similar to this one.

Lu Zhuxin still remembered that as Hu Mei’er’s exclusive box, one corner of that wooden box also had a concealed red seven-tail pattern carved with spiritual power.

So?

Lu Zhuxin took the wooden box from the paper figures’ hands.

Opening it to look, a faint milk fragrance mixed with the fresh sweetness of flower petals wafted directly out.

In the distance, Song Shiyuan was secretly observing.

She saw the silver-haired little fox demon’s hesitation before receiving the food box.

The little fox demon seemed to be thinking about whether she should accept a gift from a stranger.

Song Shiyuan wasn’t sure whether the little fox demon would accept that pastry. She hoped she would. That pastry was very sweet and delicious.

Sure enough, Song Shiyuan saw the little fox demon accept the wooden food box.

Moreover, Song Shiyuan also saw that when the little fox demon opened that wooden box, those beautiful fox eyes became brighter by several degrees.

The little fox demon extended her delicate fingers, picked up a piece of pastry, and gently took a small bite.

“Mm~~!”

Song Shiyuan saw the little fox demon tilt her head slightly, one hand cupping her small face, the other hand holding the pastry, taking small bites very elegantly.

A pair of watery fox eyes curved into crescents.

The little fox demon’s face was full of blissful smiles. Her entire being seemed to be enveloped in pink air.

Watching the little fox demon’s sweet appearance, Song Shiyuan felt as if she herself had eaten a piece of sweet fox flower pastry, sweet from her eyes all the way to her heart.

What was sweet wasn’t just the pastry, but the person too.

Lu Zhuxin thought these fox flower pastries were very delicious. She didn’t know where Song Shiyuan had gotten them.

She could confirm that when she originally wrote the character design, she hadn’t added a cook’s setting to Song Shiyuan.

A phoenix-proud protagonist template didn’t need cooking skills. She only needed to know how to grill fish.

So who could have given Song Shiyuan these pastries?

Lu Zhuxin tasted a small piece. Sweet, fragrant, very delicious.

Then she discovered at the bottom edge of the wooden food box, there was a small, not very obvious silver-white six-tail pattern.

Ah! It was sent by Hu Xian’er.

That elegant and capable fox demon attendant actually had such a skill?

Lu Zhuxin hadn’t expected it at all.

Back when she wrote these two characters, Hu Xian’er and Hu Mei’er, she had only written their names and general appearances.

Personality, abilities, background, and so on… for Lu Zhuxin, were all completely blank.

The only thing certain was their absolute loyalty to the Fox Monarch.

Through this period of interaction, Lu Zhuxin gradually discovered that these two fox demons each had their own distinct personalities.

Not like what she had originally written so dryly in her novel, boring and rigid background boards.

The red fox was gentle and passionate, while the white fox had a cold exterior but didn’t lack tenderness inside.

However, to think Hu Xian’er would actually use Song Shiyuan’s hands to send her pastries.

Tsk tsk tsk~~

This kind of little scheming to express loyalty and show thoughtfulness, Lu Zhuxin didn’t dislike at all.

While Lu Zhuxin was thinking about the two beautiful and capable fox demon attendants by her side, Song Shiyuan in the distance was also quietly watching her.

Watching her eat the pastry bit by bit until it was finished.

Although that pastry wasn’t made by Song Shiyuan herself, seeing the little fox demon eat so happily and blissfully made Song Shiyuan’s own heart feel warm too.

Today was really very happy, being able to see the little fox demon’s such blissful smile.

Seeing her happy made Song Shiyuan herself feel happy too.

This happiness continued until she left the garden and returned to her own room.

“Tomorrow, I’ll find time to ask how to make that pastry,” Song Shiyuan thought as she lay in bed and slowly fell asleep.

…

Early the next morning, the fox beauty who had delivered the pastries was awakened from her seated meditation by knocking sounds.

With a confused face, she came to the door and looked out, discovering that standing outside was that female sword cultivator from Lingxiao Sword Sect.

The fox beauty’s soul was nearly scared out of her.

So early in the morning, before the sky was even light, what was this about?

Could there be something wrong with what Steward Xian’er gave?

With such doubts, the fox beauty uneasily opened the door.

“Sorry to disturb you so early,” Song Shiyuan asked apologetically. “That pastry from yesterday, could you teach me how to make it?”

The fox beauty’s head tilted. How the hell would she know how to make pastries?

Eating pastries on the other hand, that she was quite good at.

“Sorry, Miss Song. Those fox flower pastries are pastries specially prepared only when fox clan festivals are approaching.”

The fox beauty casually made up a reason.

“If Miss Song wants to learn, we can make them together next year.”

Song Shiyuan’s face showed undisguisable disappointment. After apologizing again, she left.

That pitiful, delicate appearance made the fox beauty’s heart almost overflow with sympathy.

Such a simple, cute little sword cultivator. No wonder Her Majesty liked her so much.
