Volume 1, Chapter 77 – The Fox Had a Wet Dream

Bringing the little fox demon back to her room.

The first thing Song Shiyuan did was set up a bunch of restrictions around her courtyard.

Lu Zhuxin sat on Song Shiyuan’s bed, watching her with great interest.

Although Song Shiyuan was already careful enough, the Fox Palace’s biggest villain was currently sitting on her bed. No matter how much she set up or how cautious she was, it was all meaningless.

Lu Zhuxin even had the leisure to chat with the System.

“System! Systemy! Can you help me see what those people from Lingxiao Sword Sect are doing right now?”

[Host, the System does not have this authority.]

“Oh.” Lu Zhuxin responded very casually, then said again, “System! Systemy! Can you help me see what Lingxiao Sword Sect Master Jiang Hongliang is doing right now?”

[Host, the System does not have this authority. Please explore on your own.]

Lu Zhuxin again casually said “oh,” then asked, “System! Systemy! Can you help me see if Hu Xian’er and the others have completed the formation?”

[Host, if you want to know this, just open your spiritual consciousness and sweep it casually, right?]

The System said irritably.

[An Eighth Realm powerhouse’s spiritual consciousness is enough for you to monitor the entire Fox Palace.]

“That won’t do. I’m lazy.” Lu Zhuxin lay down languidly on the bed. “Can’t you help me look?”

[Host, repeating once more, the System does not have this authority.]

“Eh, this won’t work, that won’t work. You’re truly a useless system.”

Lu Zhuxin silently complained about the System on the bed.

She turned over, burying herself in the pillow and lightly inhaling.

Her entire nasal cavity was surrounded by the faint fragrance Song Shiyuan had left behind.

“Ah~! Comfortable.”

Lu Zhuxin lay there softly, like a fox who had gotten high, spread out into a fox pancake.

When Song Shiyuan came back after setting up the restrictions, this was the scene she saw.

The little fox demon, completely unguarded around her, lay sleeping on Song Shiyuan’s bed with her clothes disheveled.

Song Shiyuan walked to the little fox demon’s side, reaching out to gently caress the little fox demon’s cheek.

The little fox demon seemed to see something strange in her dream. Her entire eyebrows were knitted together.

Her pink, moist little lips were also tightly pressed together at this moment.

“Having a nightmare?” Song Shiyuan used her finger to gently smooth out the little fox demon’s tightly furrowed brow.

Then she used her fingertip to gently press against the little fox demon’s water-glossed pink lips.

Soft and hot.

Song Shiyuan subconsciously curled the tip of her tongue.

Eh! No! Song Shiyuan, how can you think such things at a time like this?

This is taking advantage of someone in distress, not the behavior of a gentleman.

Song Shiyuan released the little fox demon’s lips, preparing to get up.

Just then, Song Shiyuan heard a murmur from the little fox demon’s mouth.

“Ming Zhaoxi…” The sleeping little fox demon mumbled incoherently.

“Mm? What?” Song Shiyuan furrowed her delicate brows. She hadn’t heard clearly what the little fox demon was mumbling.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, she slowly leaned down, bringing her ear close to listen carefully.

“Ming Zhaoxi…” The little fox demon murmured again.

This time Song Shiyuan heard clearly. So the little fox demon was chanting her own name.

“Ming Zhaoxi… you’re truly a vicious woman.” The little fox demon spoke in her sleep.

Song Shiyuan raised her head with an amused expression.

The little fox demon didn’t know what she was dreaming about. She was actually denouncing herself throughout her sleep.

Song Shiyuan once again gently pressed her finger against the little fox demon’s lips.

She leaned down by the little fox demon’s ear, speaking softly.

“Alright, stop scolding yourself.”

“No matter how others see you, in my eyes, you’re the best fox demon in this world.”

[…]

Song Shiyuan didn’t know if the little fox demon in her sleep could hear, but she could see that after saying this, the little fox demon’s tightly furrowed brows clearly relaxed considerably.

Song Shiyuan’s face showed a satisfied smile.

Not wanting to disturb the little fox demon’s sleep, she left the room, closed the door, and made a sound-proofing hand seal.

She walked to a corner of the courtyard and took out the communication talismans the senior brothers from Lingxiao Sword Sect had given her.

These talismans were drawn by an Eighth Realm powerhouse and were extremely precious.

Even the layers of formations in the Fox Palace couldn’t intercept them.

Soon, the disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect sent a response.

“Senior Brother Lu.” Song Shiyuan said.

“Junior Sister Song Shiyuan.” Lu Guan’s voice came from the talisman. “Contacting so quickly, have you made some new discovery?”

“Mm, I found Lingxu Sword Sect’s Young Sect Master.” Song Shiyuan said.

“Really? I also just made contact with people from Lingxu Sword Sect.” Lu Guan said. “They said they want to confirm whether Young Sect Master Huang is safe.”

Song Shiyuan heard the relaxed tone in Lu Guan’s words. Clearly, after finding Huang Shangshang’s whereabouts, their alliance with Lingxu Sword Sect would go very smoothly.

But now, it was actually Song Shiyuan’s side that wasn’t going so smoothly.

“Senior Brother Lu, the situation is like this.” Song Shiyuan briefly explained the circumstances she was currently facing.

The other end of the talisman was silent for a while.

“Huang Shangshang knows there’s a traitor in our Lingxiao Sword Sect… and knows it was someone from Lingxiao Sword Sect who betrayed her… This matter is indeed somewhat troublesome.”

“No matter who that traitor is, this is our sect’s internal affair. We cannot casually reveal this matter to others, especially people from other sword sects.”

“Junior Sister Song Shiyuan, you did very well in this matter.”

Lu Guan approved of Song Shiyuan’s decision.

“As for the method to enter the Fox Palace dungeon…” Lu Guan pondered for a while and said, “I’ve carefully studied the formation diagrams we obtained. To open that formation restriction, besides fox demons with authority, perhaps we could use some special magical implements to forcibly open it…”

“Special magical implements?” Song Shiyuan pondered. “Refining implements based on the formation? That would require a formation grandmaster and a crafting grandmaster working together to complete it, right?”

“Yes.” Lu Guan said. “To open the restrictions in the dungeon, we still need Lingxu Sword Sect’s help.”

“So rescuing Huang Shangshang becomes extremely important.”

“I understand.” Song Shiyuan said. “I’ll try my best to help her retrieve Lingxu Sword Sect’s ancient sword.”

“Be careful in everything, Junior Sister Song.”

Lu Guan cut off the talisman communication.

Song Shiyuan looked back toward her room. The little fox demon was still sleeping, without any movement.

She must have been exhausted from last night.

Song Shiyuan didn’t mention her situation with the little fox demon.

“It’s not yet time…” Song Shiyuan murmured to herself. “The disciples of Lingxiao Sword Sect won’t casually trust fox demons…”

If she revealed the little fox demon’s situation now, they might suspect Song Shiyuan had betrayed the sect.

The matter of relying on the little fox demon to rescue people would very likely come to nothing.

So this matter couldn’t be spoken of yet.

At least, she had to wait until later, until the little fox demon had participated in enough matters, until Song Shiyuan could convince her senior brothers, before revealing the little fox demon’s situation.

The matter with Song Shixuan was the same.

Without sufficient evidence, casually accusing a sect’s Young Sect Master, especially when this person was Song Shiyuan’s own elder brother, even Song Shiyuan would suspect she had gone mad.

“It’s not enough yet… the timing hasn’t arrived either.” Song Shiyuan murmured to herself.

…

On the other side.

After cutting off contact with Song Shiyuan.

Lu Guan felt this rescue operation was going even more smoothly than he’d imagined.

Aside from spending a bit of effort evading the inspection of demon race powerhouses on the road to Mingzhao City, everything else had gone very smoothly.

Of course, Lu Guan also knew that besides Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Sect Master Jiang secretly protecting them, the most important thing was the blueprints Immortal Venerable Qingzhi had given them before departure.

These blueprints were respectively Mingzhao City’s defense map and the Fox Palace’s formation diagram.

He didn’t know where Immortal Venerable Qingzhi had obtained these maps and formation diagrams from. They were terrifyingly detailed.

Without these maps existing, they would have had no way to infiltrate the heavily guarded Mingzhao City so simply and smoothly.

Even the intelligence about the Fox Monarch’s approaching heat period was provided by Immortal Venerable Qingzhi.

Immortal Venerable Qingzhi remained in seclusion year-round. Even this time when her two disciples were captured, she seemed to have no intention of emerging from seclusion to rescue them.

She merely gave them this intelligence obtained from who knows where.

He didn’t know what she was thinking.

If that Immortal Venerable with peak combat power had accompanied them on this operation, things would be even simpler and smoother.

In terms of combat power alone, in the entire demon realm, only that Nether Abyss Demon Venerable could match Immortal Venerable Qingzhi.

“Forget it… that Immortal Venerable has always been like this.”

The thoughts of such powerhouses weren’t something ordinary disciples like them could fathom.

…

It wasn’t until the second night that Lu Zhuxin, who had slept beautifully on Song Shiyuan’s bed for a full day and night, leisurely awoke.

Upon waking, she saw her own fluffy cherry pink big tail again.

“Eh? When I went to sleep yesterday, I let my tail out again?”

Lu Zhuxin thought for a while. She had no recollection of this.

Moreover, she seemed to feel that familiar sticky sensation again.

“You’ve got to be kidding…” Lu Zhuxin furrowed her brows.

She recalled what had happened before falling asleep last night.

She could confirm she hadn’t done anything strange.

“System! Are you certain fox demons really can’t have wet dreams?!”

Lu Zhuxin roared at the System in her mind.

[Wet dreams your… Host, you’ve already asked this question more than once.]

The System said irritably.

[Whether you wrote such a setting or not, aren’t you clear about it yourself?]

[Also, please remember, you are currently a girl.]

“Oh…” Lu Zhuxin scratched her head.

Last time, when something similar happened, she suddenly fell asleep because her heat period had come early.

Could it be this time was also because of this?

“System, this body’s heat period didn’t come early again, did it?”

[Host, please explore on your own.]

As expected, this dog system wouldn’t say anything.

Lu Zhuxin was used to it.

“Axi, you’re awake?” Song Shiyuan walked in from outside. “Are you feeling better? You’ve been sleeping for a whole day.”

Song Shiyuan’s face still carried some worry. “I checked your condition earlier. Your body hasn’t had any abnormalities.”

“Is it because you’re too tired?”

Lu Zhuxin wordlessly wiped at the nonexistent cold sweat on her forehead.

Good thing she had sealed her spiritual consciousness and cultivation in advance, and also prepared the spirit fetus disguise.

Good thing little Shiyuan was an upright sword cultivator who didn’t take advantage while she was sleeping and secretly make a move on her.

Otherwise this time she really would have been exposed.

Truly dangerous.

“I’m fine.” The silver-haired little fox demon raised her hand to press against her lower abdomen. “It might be because my cultivation is too low, forcibly nurturing a spirit fetus, which is why I’m like this.”

“…” Hearing this, Song Shiyuan’s eyes imperceptibly flashed with a trace of gloom.

“I’m sorry.” She apologized.

“It’s fine.” The little fox demon smiled sweetly. “As long as we can leave here soon, it’ll be good.”

“Once we leave here, we won’t need to worry and be afraid anymore.”

“I’ll take you to Steward Hu Xian’er’s study tonight.”

“At night she generally stays near the Fox Monarch’s sleeping quarters, ready to await the Fox Monarch’s summons at any time. Only during the day when she needs to handle Fox Palace external affairs does she return to her study.”

“Axi…” Song Shiyuan furrowed her brows. “If you’re really tired, don’t force yourself.”

“I’m not forcing myself.” The little fox demon said. “I’ve already rested for a whole day.”

“Tonight is our only opportunity.”

“Moreover, our time may be running short.”
