Hua Shu rolled her eyes and carried the little fox out of the meditation room. She came to the stone bridge and held him above the water.
“Little girl, what are you trying to do?” The little fox kicked his legs and shouted in panic.
“Didn’t you say that you were seriously injured? This jade lake water is a diluted form of the spiritual spring water. Soaking in it should be very beneficial to your injuries, right?” Hua Shu said lightly, but she was overjoyed in her heart.
At first, she wasn’t sure if this would be enough to punish it. She only wanted to teach it a small lesson, but now, it seemed that this move was somewhat effective.
The little fox was furious. “Impudent! You little human girl, how dare you be so impudent? I am the ancient divine race’s Nine Heavens Mysterious Fox, how dare you be so rebellious!”
“What? Are you afraid?” Hua Shu smiled playfully, unmoved.
“What do I have to be afraid of? You’re the one who should be afraid!” The little fox shouted, but his heart was racing.
It was a misstep, a huge misstep. The Mighty Nine Heavens Mysterious Fox was actually threatened by a little human girl. Although he was not afraid of water, if he was really thrown into the water by a little human girl, he would not have the face to see others if this news spread!
“Still stubborn? Then go down and take a bath!” As Hua Shu said this, she pretended to let go.
“Don’t!” The little fox hurriedly shouted. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted you to understand more. If you were able to keep your cool, I would have explained everything in an instant.”
This time, Hua Shu was also a little angry. “You are an ancient god, so you naturally have a deep understanding of the immortal cultivation world. However, I am just an ordinary mortal. When it comes to my life and death, I will naturally be anxious and afraid. Is this still wrong?”
With that, she threw the little fox into the water, turned around, and returned to the meditation room, closing the door behind her.
The little fox struggled to get up from the water. Spiritual energy flowed around his body, and his wet fur instantly became dry and cool. Looking at the tightly shut door, he knew that he was in the wrong. However, as an ancient god, his pride did not allow him to lower his head. So, let’s just treat it as a draw!
Meanwhile, in the meditation room, Hua Shu gradually calmed down.
She knew that her emotions were not right. She had experienced heartbreak, death, and rebirth in a short period of time. Then, she had entered the pearl space and embarked on the path of immortal cultivation. All of this had happened too suddenly. She had yet to completely adapt to it. There was still a lot of uneasiness and fear hidden in her heart. When she was frightened by the little fox, she immediately burst out and vented her anger on the little fox. If she was given a few more days, she would definitely be able to adapt well and adjust her emotions. She would definitely not lose control like she did today.
The little fox had frightened her once, and she had vented her anger on the little fox once. This should be considered a draw, right?
After about half an hour, Hua Shu’s state of mind completely calmed down. She estimated that it was about time and was prepared to go out first. She would come in after everyone had taken a nap in the afternoon.
When she opened the door, the little fox was lying on the stone steps outside the door, curled up into a ball and sleeping with his eyes closed.
“Little Jiu, I’m going out first. What should I do?” Hua Shu asked as if nothing had happened.
The little fox opened his eyes as if he had forgotten what had happened before. He blinked his watery eyes and tilted his head to look at Hua Shu in confusion. “Why do you call me Little Jiu?”
Hua Shu was stunned. “Because I don’t know your name, and I can’t keep calling you ‘Little Fox’, so I’m calling you Little Jiu, the nine of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fox.” [Jiu means nine]
