Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

In order to touch the ear as soon as possible, Han Luo immediately pulled Jing Shu back to the inn room.

When Han Luo opened her eyes again, Jing Shu had already been pulled to sit on the edge of the bed. Han Luo could no longer restrain herself and held a fox ear in each hand, kneading it.

Hanluo squinted her eyes happily. It was fluffy, really, she loved it!

Jing Shu blushed. It was the first time he had used his main consciousness to conjure fox ears, so he naturally did not expect the ears to be so sensitive!

"Master, Master, please stop rubbing me." Jing Shu couldn't take it anymore and begged Han Luo to stop.

They really shot themselves in the foot!

Originally, she wanted to use the fox ears to make her master listen to her a little more and prevent any accidents from happening again. But she didn't expect the fox ears to be so sensitive. Before she could use up all the demonic power she had borrowed, the fox ears wouldn't disappear. She couldn't resist them, and she was truly forced into a dilemma.

"Ugh!" Jing Shu's voice suddenly changed tone, and his body trembled slightly.

His master actually bit his ear!

Hanluo was no longer satisfied with just touching the ears; she gently bit the snow-white fox ear and rubbed it lightly with her lips and teeth.

Then he saw three large, snow-white tails.

Hanluo's eyes lit up. He temporarily spared the fox ears and reached for the fox's tail.

Jing Shu was already provoked and couldn't control himself from letting his tail out. Before he could react, a pair of hands with distinct knuckles grabbed his tail and stroked it against the grain, all the way to the base of the tail!

The stimulation was too intense, which made Jing Shu's movements even faster.

Regardless of whether he was his master or how much stronger he was than himself, Jing Shu grabbed the hand that was causing trouble behind him, turned the person in front of him around, pressed him onto the bed, and knelt on either side of Han Luo's waist.

Aside from pressing Han Luo's hands down with his own, Jing Shu didn't touch Han Luo at all, because he was moved by emotion.

Han Luo frowned slightly but didn't resist; he was exceptionally tolerant of the furry creature. But why did this position feel so familiar?

Jing Shu let out a heavy breath, trying to calm his restless body.

But when he saw Han Luo obediently pinned down, her long hair loose and her thin lips slightly parted, he realized that Han Luo was being held down by him.

He found himself unable to calm down. Something was wrong! Something was wrong!

Jing Shu's mind was in a mess, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol. He couldn't understand what he was doing, so he instinctively wanted to escape the situation.

Just as she let go of Hanluo's hand and prepared to get up, her burning cheek was gently touched by a slightly cool hand.

Jing Shu froze completely as he stood up. He stared intently at Han Luo, feeling the hand gently touch the corner of his eye on his face.

"Shu'er is so beautiful." Han Luo's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with doting affection.

"Snapped--"

The string of reason in Jing Shu's mind snapped, whether because his master called him Shu'er or because his master smiled at him, he didn't know.

"Master..." Jing Shu repeated these two words to himself, seemingly no different from before.

Hanluo's hand touched the fox's ears again, stroking them slowly along the fur, as if to soothe it.

Jing Shu lowered his head, making it more comfortable for Han Luo to touch him. Taking advantage of the fact that Han Luo couldn't see him, he kept staring at the thin lips of the person beneath him, his mind filled with rebellious thoughts.

It looks so soft, I really want to kiss it...

Jing Shu kept watching until the sensation on his ear disappeared and he heard even breathing from above.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jing Shu got off Han Luo, whose fox ears and tail had disappeared. Silently, he removed the remaining flowers from Han Luo's hair, knelt on one knee, took off Han Luo's shoes, adjusted her sleeping position, and covered her with a blanket.

Jing Shu slowly tidied everything up, removing all the flowers from her hair and changing her clothes back to normal, as if today was no different from any other day.

Only Xiao Jingshu saw that he carefully held the butterfly flower he had taken from his master in his hand.

Xiao Jingshu didn't understand, so he asked directly.

"Do you also like Shizun?"

Xiao Jingshu only possessed his divine consciousness and could not empathize with him like a Nascent Soul, but he could still see the note the girl had slipped to him—"If you like each other, exchange flowers, and the Flower Goddess will bless you!"

Thinking about the flowers in Jing Shu's hand, little Jing Shu had this guess in his mind.

"Also?" Jing Shu precisely grasped this one word and replied to him with her divine sense, "You like him too?"

“Yes,” Xiao Jingshu answered without hesitation, “I like Shizun too.”

Upon hearing this, Jing Shu couldn't help but laugh, "You've only been with Master for a short time, do you even know what liking someone is?"

"I know!" Xiao Jingshu realized that Jingshu didn't believe him at all, and quickly said, "Liking someone means I want to eat with Master, sleep with Master, and cultivate with Master! I just want to be with Master forever!"

As Jing Shu listened to Xiao Jing Shu's anxious explanation, he said softly, "But I'm different. I want more than you do. I don't just want what you want. I also want to kiss him, I want him to belong only to me, and I want him to like me too."

Even if Jing Shu was slow-witted, today's events made him realize completely that he had harbored inappropriate feelings for his master. Even though he had always considered him his master, those feelings had long since changed. Perhaps, it had always been that way from the very beginning.

“Your liking is different from mine. There’s no need to emphasize anything to me.” The kind of liking that Xiao Jing described was more like the attachment of a fox cub to its owner.

Xiao Jing couldn't argue with Jing Shu, but he was unconvinced. Clearly, they were all the same!

However, Xiao Jingshu wanted to ask something else rather than argue about this.

"What are you going to do?"

"Leave." Jing Shu slowly uttered these two words.

"Huh? Why?" Xiao Jingshu asked in surprise. "Don't you like Shizun?"

“I have my own plans. You should cultivate diligently. I don’t know if it’s because of my physique or the spiritual energy in your body, but the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox in your body is becoming more and more concentrated. Perhaps, you can really cultivate into a nine-tailed fox.” Jing Shu looked at the three tails behind Xiao Jing Shu and said thoughtfully.

"No." Xiao Jingshu refused decisively. "I just want to grow taller quickly." After saying that, she turned her back to Jingshu, expressing her refusal through her actions.

Purifying his bloodline requires additional training, and this past year he's only focused on growing taller; the two tails were just an unintentional byproduct. If he were to purify his bloodline further, he wouldn't be able to grow as fast.

"But... Master really likes your big tail..."

Xiao Jingshu's ears twitched.

"If a child were to cultivate to have nine tails, wouldn't Master like them even more?"

Jing Shu couldn't treat him like he treated a Nascent Soul cultivator, but manipulating a child with the intelligence of a five-year-old was still a piece of cake.

Xiao Jingshu turned around, raised her chin arrogantly, and said, "Then, I'll reluctantly cultivate nine tails."

Jing Shu patted little Jing Shu's head, "Good boy~"
