The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Chu Mo's ears felt hot. Last night, while practicing swordplay under the moonlight while the little fox was asleep, he had unintentionally used the Chu family's secret "Nine Flowing Cloud Styles." He hadn't expected the little fellow to feign sleep and watch him.

"That's not something you can learn now." He reached out to grab the little ball of fur on his shoulder, but she dodged it deftly, turned back into human form and landed on the sword.

"I want to learn!" She swayed on the sword, and suddenly rolled her eyes, pretending to fall. Chu Mo was fooled and flew forward to support her. Xiao grabbed his hand and pressed it on her waist, "Then teach me how to keep my balance first~"

The girl's waist was slender and soft, and the warmth of her skin could be felt even through the fabric. Chu Mo tried to pull his hand back as if it were burned, but she held him firmly.

"Senior, why are you hiding?" She tilted her head, a cunning glint in her eyes. "When I couldn't stand steadily before, you always supported me like this."

How could it be the same? Chu Mo smiled bitterly in his heart. She had been just a child before, but now she had grown into a graceful young lady, her every frown and smile carrying an unconscious charm.

"Focus." He managed to calm himself down, holding her waist to guide the sword. "Sink your energy into your dantian and feel the sword energy flowing."

The little fox suddenly turned, standing face to face with him. The sword's blade was narrow, and with this turn, the two of them collided. Her faint sweet fragrance lingered on Chu Mo's breath, and her four fox tails had already wrapped around his wrist without him noticing.

"Is that so?" She deliberately whispered in Chu's ear, her warm breath brushing against his neck.

Chu Mo suddenly withdrew his sword. The little fox screamed in surprise and instinctively hugged him tightly. They both landed on the soft grass, Chu Mo protecting the back of her head and using himself as a cushion.

"Senior, you're cheating!" The little fox lifted her head, supporting herself on his chest. Her hair fell and brushed against Chu Mo's cheek. She was about to protest, but suddenly froze. Chu Mo's eyes, which had always been cold and clear, were now as deep as a pool, reflecting her slightly red face.

Their breathing intertwined, and the little fox suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. She unconsciously licked her lips and saw Chu Mo's gaze fall on her lips.

"I..." She was about to say something when her stomach suddenly growled.

The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly broken. Chu Mo chuckled and rubbed her head: "Go change your clothes, I'll go make breakfast."

The little fox got up with a red face, turned back halfway, and pecked Chu Mo on the cheek quickly: "This is tuition!" After that, it turned into its original form and rushed into the bamboo forest.

Chu Mo touched the place where he had been kissed, shook his head and laughed. When he stood up, he found a strand of fiery red fox hair on the ground, and carefully picked it up and put it into his sleeve.

Inside the bamboo house, the little fox was looking at herself in a bronze mirror. She touched her burning cheeks, then looked at her charming face in the mirror, and suddenly made a face.

“No matter what I become,” she whispered to herself in the mirror, “I will always be Senior’s little fox.”

Outside the window, Chu Mo stopped with the steamed spirit cake in his hand. Upon hearing these words, his stern brows softened unconsciously.

Before the morning mist dissipated, three bronze flying boats were already moored in the square in front of Xuantian Peak.

The boat's hull was covered in runes, gleaming with a faint blue luster in the morning light. Chu Mo stood by the gangway of the last boat, his thin white gown dampened by the morning dew, outlining his slender figure.

"Mo'er." Gong Sheng approached, surrounded by the elders. The dark golden lines on his black robe shone, showcasing the majesty of the sect leader. "This journey is dangerous, so I have specially asked Xuan'er to accompany you." He turned sideways to reveal Chen Xuan, who was smiling warmly behind him. "You two brothers can take this opportunity to put aside your past grudges."

Chu Mo lowered his eyes and saluted, his eyes sweeping across the new black jade token on Chen Xuan's waist - that was the Xuantian Token that only the chief disciple could wear.

"Disciple will follow the master's teachings." Chu Mo's voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Gong Sheng stroked his beard with satisfaction, and suddenly said loudly, "I heard that there is a ten-thousand-year-old nine-transformation green spirit grass in the Qianji Secret Realm..." He patted Chu Mo's shoulder meaningfully, "It can cure all kinds of poisons."

After the Sect Leader left, Chen Xuan immediately took off his disguise and sneered, "Brother Chu, you'd better follow closely, in case you get lost in the secret realm..." His fingertips lightly brushed against his sword, the scabbard of which was inlaid with the rare magic stone of Xuantian Sect.

"Don't bother." Chu Mo turned around and boarded the boat, and the little fox in his sleeve moved uneasily.

Since this morning, the little guy has been very restless, as if he treats this trip out as a trip.

The interior of the flying boat is more spacious than the exterior, with bright lights floating among the carved pillars to provide guidance.

Chu Mo's quarters were arranged at the bottom of the cabin, right next to the warehouse where the sundries were stored. When he pushed the door open, the musty smell mixed with dust hit him in the face, and the bedding on the bed still had a damp smell that had not been dried in the sun.

"Come out." Chu Mo had just loosened his sleeves when a ball of fiery red shot up onto the beam. The little fox transformed into a young girl, tapped the beam with her bare feet, and landed lightly in front of him.

"It's so stuffy here!" She wrinkled her nose and walked around the room, then suddenly rushed to the window and pushed it open with a "wow!" The morning breeze poured in, blowing away the ribbon that bound her hair, and her long red hair spread out like a waterfall.

Chu Mo quickly stepped forward to close the window, but saw that half of her body was already leaning out of the window, her skirt rustling in the wind. He hurriedly grabbed her waist and pulled her back: "Be careful!"

The little fox fell into his arms, tilted its head back and smiled slyly: "Why are you so nervous, senior? I won't fly away~" As it said that, it deliberately rubbed his chin with the tip of its nose, and its four fox tails had wrapped around his wrists without him knowing when.

Chu Mo's ears felt hot and he was about to let go when footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

He hurriedly made hand gestures to set up a soundproof barrier, but the little fox had already changed back to its original form and crawled into the quilt, with only its amber eyes rolling around.

"Brother Chu?" a sect disciple's voice came through the door. "The flying boat will stop at Qingming Cliff at noon. Brother Chen will lead his disciples down the boat to capture monsters. Brother Chen asked me to ask you to stay on the ship to prevent the monsters from accidentally injuring you."

When the footsteps faded away, a puff of white smoke rose from the quilt. The little fox turned back into a girl, this time hanging directly on Chu Mo's back: "What is Qingming Cliff? Why are they trying to capture monsters?"

"We can just stay on the flying boat." Chu Mo helplessly let her hug his neck and shake him, "Stop it, let me look at the map."

Chen Xuanlai sent someone to say this deliberately, which was clearly an attempt to humiliate him.
