She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s walking over with smugness on her face! She’s coming with a wooden bucket!
Zhang Chen opened his Dharma Eye, only to see that the Fox Spirit Maiden pushed her chest out proudly, holding the wooden bucket with a confident expression, traversed through the adjacent wall, and swaggered into Zhang Chen’s room.
"This Fox Spirit has quite the skill; it’s one thing for her soul to be invisible, but she can also turn what she grabs into void. This is a technique only found in mythological novels!"
Zhang Chen was startled, not daring to look directly at the maiden, instead lowering his head, using the residual light at the corner of his eyes to watch the maiden’s actions.
Upon entering the room, the smug smile on the Fox Spirit’s face paused suddenly, her eyes fixed on the grain wrapped in Golden Light and the water jar encased in Golden Light, leaving her stunned on the spot.
The Fox Immortal Maiden stood frozen, her eyes staring blankly at the Golden Light filling the room, completely unsure of what to do.
Moments later, anger appeared on the stunning face of the Fox Immortal Maiden: "Damn scoundrel, filling the place with Golden Light, who are you guarding against? Where is the trust between people?"
The Fox Immortal Maiden’s clear eyes wandered around the objects wrapped in Golden Light, facing the water jar encased in Golden Light, finding herself unable to act like a dog biting a hedgehog.
"I’ve entrusted you so much, believed your family’s game is tasty, and you turn around and treat me like this, is this how you honor my trust?" The Fox Immortal Maiden paced around the room like an ant on a hot pan, then shifted her gaze and drew close to Zhang Chen, only inches away from him, her whole face almost pressing against Zhang Chen’s cheek, her white teeth grinding constantly, a fragrant scent wafting over, seemingly seeping into Zhang Chen’s mind: Damn scoundrel, is this mutt intentionally doing it?
With the wisdom of a Fox Immortal, how could she not understand Zhang Chen’s intention? All the important items were encased in Golden Light; she didn’t believe Zhang Chen wasn’t deliberate.
"Earlier he had Golden Light passively protecting him, which was troublesome enough; it seems he now developed a new use for Golden Light? He can actively control it, retain Golden Light in objects, this kid’s skill has improved again." The Fox Immortal Maiden exhaled a breath as fragrant as orchids, her eyes staring fiercely into Zhang Chen’s eyes, but Zhang Chen seemed not to notice the stunning face, continuing to practice his calligraphy.
"Did he see me? Did he really see me? Did he intentionally not see, or genuinely didn’t see?" The Fox Immortal Maiden drew her eyes closer to Zhang Chen, carefully staring into his pupils, listening to Zhang Chen’s heartbeat.
"His heartbeat isn’t changing, not even the blood flow rate, seems he didn’t see me. But where did this kid get hold of this strange Golden Light? Could he have acquired some treasure?" The Fox Spirit was somewhat puzzled and uncertain.
If Zhang Chen could see her, being so close to him, he certainly wouldn’t remain unmoved.
Meanwhile, Zhang Chen was secretly relieved inside, grateful for mastering Blood Control technology, not just controlling the rate of blood flow but also the rhythm of heartbeat; otherwise, he might not have been able to deceive the Fox Spirit.
"I, Fox Fairy Nannan, am incomparable in beauty, the sole enchantress throughout Heaven and Earth through the ages, no male creature can gaze at me for three seconds without being heartstruck, seems he really can’t see! But his control over Golden Light has upgraded, though he can’t see me, he probably guessed my presence, hence he retained Golden Light to guard against me!"
Speaking to this point, Fox Fairy Nannan was fuming with anger: "I’ve trusted you the most, believed your family’s game is mouth-watering and fresh, your grain is tastiest, yet you treat me this way, betraying my trust, even guarding against me, you are blinded by a black heart!"
The Fox Immortal Maiden kept cursing into Zhang Chen’s ear, her words filled with profanity, sounding very unpleasant.
Zhang Chen listened to the mutterings of the Fox Immortal Maiden beside his ear, feeling somewhat impatient inside, suddenly picked up his brush and seemingly unintentionally flicked it in the air, the brush imbued with Golden Light shocked Fox Fairy Nannan into retreating quickly, eyes filled with irritation: "Becoming more and more hateful! Do you think adding Golden Light renders the Ancestor helpless?"
Next moment, Fox Fairy Nannan grabbed a nearby fire poker, poked open the lid of the water jar and without hesitation filled a bucket with water, pulled a silly face at Zhang Chen, and smugly vanished from the room.
With the departure of the Fox Immortal Maiden, Zhang Chen continued practicing calligraphy tirelessly, fearing the Fox Immortal Maiden would later launch a surprise return, risking exposure of anything which would be unfortunate.
"This Fox Spirit is truly skilled, managed to easily bypass my method, at this rate, her depths are hard to gauge." Zhang Chen pondered silently within, encountering a dilemma.
While lost in thought, the Fox Immortal Maiden indeed phasing through the wall again, this time with a clear goal, headed directly for Zhang Chen’s grain jar: "You damn fool, farmhand, dare not trust the Ancestor Fox Fairy Nannan, broke Ancestor Fox Fairy Nannan’s expectations for you, you are truly a scoundrel, since it’s so, Ancestor will teach you a lesson, let you understand what trust between people means."
Fox Fairy Nannan had a clear intention this time, directly headed for Zhang Chen’s basket, her senses detecting the aroma of deer meat within, leaving her drooling with anticipation in her eyes.
Only Zhang Chen’s basket wasn’t a regular lid, not only blocked by a wooden pin but also tied with a knotted rope.
Fox Fairy Nannan tried the same old trick, wanting to use a stick to pry open the basket; she managed to poke open the pin with a stick, but not the rope tied with knots, leaving her fumbling around the basket anxiously, pacing back and forth, cursing: "Really a scoundrel! Truly a scoundrel! This damn hunter tied the basket so tightly, who is this guarding against? Clearly doesn’t trust me, Fox Fairy Nannan! You’re too much!"
Fox Fairy Nannan was so anxious she stamped her feet, meanwhile Zhang Chen secretly felt thrilled, akin to drinking a bowl of chilled plum soup on a scorching day, extremely refreshing!
Usually bullied by this Fox Spirit without a remedy for her, now the roles finally reversed, it’s the Fox Spirit’s turn to fret.
Just as Zhang Chen felt pleased inside, suddenly saw the Fox Spirit’s eyes gleamed and came up with an idea, through the wall again, this time the Fox Spirit carried scissors, making Zhang Chen’s eyes twitch: "This Fox Spirit is indeed quick-witted! But can’t allow her to take away my jerky, ought to seize the chance to examine the Fox Spirit’s trickery!"
