Once upon a time there was a little beauty who became ugly

Tao Yun jumped onto Jianqiu's desk, and covered the painting of beautiful women that Jianqiu wanted to copy with his body.Jianqiu shook his head, he had already memorized the lines in his heart, he didn't care, and continued to brush.

Tao Zong's unruliness today is not as measured as before, it kicked Tao Zong's inkstone over with a "slap", and the thick ink stained the beautiful face of the lady along the silk cloth.

The painting that had been painted for many days was ruined.

Jian Qiu stopped writing, and stood silently in front of the painting, Tao Yun was waiting for him to get angry.Then it can leave this human being openly, without being confined in this small courtyard every day.But it waited for a long time, only Jian Qiu sighed softly.

"Hey, little guy." He held Tao Yun in his arms, "Why are you so jealous? Tell me, what do you want me to draw, so you won't be angry?"

This time it was Tao Rong who was silent.It froze in place for a moment.

That's right, this Taoist priest is just painting. What is not painting?Why does it have to be uncomfortable these days?

Tao Jun reflected on his mistake for a moment, but he quickly left such a little bit of shame behind him, and became proud of Jianqiu's surrender again.

It proudly stretched out a paw and pointed at itself.

【I. 】It signaled.

Jianqiu's eyes were bent, he smiled and bent over, and stroked the fox's head.

"Taozi, are you serious?" Jianqiu's voice was also smiling, and it sounded mellow and soft, "You are too confident."

Bewitched by the sound, Tao Yun was stunned for a while before he realized it, and shot a dissatisfied look at the Taoist priest.

【What does it mean to be too confident?After all, it's not okay to grow up so unconfident, but I, as the most beautiful Tianhu, have been confident since I was a child. 】

"Taozi, you squat down and take a pose. Mmm... in front of the light from the window lattice. This is very good." Jianqiu spread out a piece of white drawing paper in front of him, facing the fire in front of the window The fox thought for a while, and started to splash ink again.

It didn't take long this time, it took a while, and the painting was completed.Under Jianqiu's greeting, Tao Yun hurriedly squeezed to his side to look at the painting with him.

——On a piece of white snow, there is a petite, exquisite and cute little fox.It has a delicate face mixed with charm and beauty.Big eyes, small nose, small mouth.The brocade-like hair seems to be shining in the sky, which makes people feel that they can't put it down.

This little fox is hugging its big fluffy tail, squinting its eyes and sleeping soundly.It was Tao Rong's favorite thing to do in normal times.

Jianqiu's portrait is almost exactly the same as himself, and there is a kind of aura in it.Tao Zong was very satisfied with it.At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief—in fact, judging from the attitude of those people outside towards him, he had long suspected that he was a little abnormal.Fortunately, Jianqiu's painting dispelled its worries.

It really is still the sky fox that everyone loves.

Jianqiu added some background to the painting and hung it in the study.A cute and exquisite little fox in the quiet bamboo forest looks very pleasing to the eye.

Summer is here, and it's time for peaches to ripen.Jianqiu didn't know what he was thinking, but he stubbornly believed that since Tao Yun was called Taozi, he would definitely like to eat peaches, so he ordered his servants to bring many sweet and juicy peaches, and insisted on eating them with Tao Yun.

Tao Yun really couldn't hold him back, so he had no choice but to hold a peach dryly and gnaw on it every day.I thought to myself, no wonder this stinky Taoist priest has not kept a pet for so many years. If he has any other fragile cat or dog, who just cuts his hair and feeds peaches like this, why not feed him to death?

He also thought, peaches in this world are really tasteless, but since he likes to eat them so much, when he returns to the clan, he can go and get some flat peaches for him to eat, so that he will be full.

I was a little shy and a little flattered in my heart.

Oops, am I being a little too indulgent with this human being?It is said that if he is too pampered, if he is pampered..., his temper will turn bad.It's hard to find such a good-tempered mortal, isn't it?

Tao Yun was thinking about when he could bring this Taoist priest into his clan.But the elders of the clan are still angry with themselves after all, it is estimated that if they don't suffer a lot, they will not be able to go back...

Jianqiu's original name was Li Yucheng, and Jianqiu was just his Taoist name.His family belongs to the collateral branch of the royal family, and it is a famous and prominent family in Bishan City.He is also the eldest son in the family, if he is not really weak and sick, he would not be able to live a leisurely life in the Taoist temple.But even though Jianqiu has become a Taoist priest, his friends who were princes of the same family with him when he was young have not forgotten him, and they often bring some novelty gadgets to share with Jianqiu.

Among them was a man named Du Shiling, who was born with the appearance of a frivolous and dissolute young man, the most hateful.If it was in the past, Tao Jun might have become like-minded friends with this Mr. Du.But now that there is Jian Qiu by his side, Tao Yun turned that feeling of sympathy into disgust, seeing whether he has a nose or not, and his eyes are not eyes.

Coincidentally, this Mr. Du and Tao Yun also looked at each other and hated each other.When one person and one fox met for the first time, Du Shiling came in with a cage of beautiful little thrushes, and suddenly saw a mangy ugly fox squinting at him under the flower vine shelf, and blurted out: "My mother, Jianqiu, where did you find this one..." The following words were not continued under Jianqiu's signal, but Tao Yun already knew that this human being did not like him.

However, it doesn't matter, it decided to look at this human being even more unpleasant.

Jianqiu had a headache to find that his best friend and his beloved pet—although Tao Zi was not very attractive, but Jianqiu still put it in a very important position unconsciously—it was simply two The black-eyed chicken, as soon as he met, was on the verge of breaking out, fighting openly and secretly, causing him a headache.

"Oh, brother Jianqiu, the sun is shining today, why don't we go out and admire the lotus together?"

【Look at your rippling smile, nothing good will happen. I can't let my Jianqiu be cheated by you. 】

The red fox stared at Du Shiling's playful smile.

"Brother Jianqiu, Yanbolou's annual oiran selection contest is about to start again. Although you have become a monk, isn't it a kind of practice to join the world? With your painting skills, if you can paint a portrait for a girl, That's a big bonus—actually, Miss Lengxiang asked me to ask you for a painting?"

[What the hell oiran?Who can be prettier than me, is it not good for me to draw? 】

The red fox hugged the young Taoist priest's legs with two front paws, preventing him from taking a few steps.

Jianqiu had no choice but to bow to his friend: "Brother Du, you also know the situation here, I really can't leave, I hope Brother Du will take care of you."

Du Shiling curled his lips disapprovingly, becoming more and more courageous as he became frustrated, and continued to harass one person and one fox persistently in the following days.

One day, out of the corner of Du Shiling's eye, Du Shiling accidentally caught a glimpse of Jianqiu's painting hanging in his study, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Jianqiu, what are you painting? Don't tell me, it's the mangy outside." A fox, right? No wonder it has such a bad temper, you usually treat it like a baby, but it turns out that it looks like a fairy fox in your heart."

Jian Qiu frowned, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Brother Du, watch your words."

Du Shiling continued to tease and said, "Look at it, and don't even say a word."

Tao Yun, who had been paying attention to Jianqiu's movements, ran over and yelled at Du Shiling dissatisfiedly.

Du Shiling lowered his head and said, "Clown fox, did I say you wrong?"

Hearing the word "ugly", Tao Jun's heart skipped a beat.

Jian Qiu bent down, hugged Tao Yun in his arms and said, "Don't talk nonsense." This meant that he was already a little angry.

Du Shiling raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, can't I just say no? Anyway, I can't quarrel with this fox..."

Tao Yun struggled twice in Jianqiu's arms, jumped onto the desk, took a pen from the pen holder to Du Shiling, patted the rice paper, and patted himself.

"What do you mean?" Du Shiling was stunned holding a pen, "You want me to draw a picture of you?"

Jianqiu took a step forward: "Taozi..."

Tao Yun ignored him, but still looked at Du Shiling stubbornly.

Du Shiling said: "Okay, you asked for this on your own initiative. I won't help you beautify it like Jian Qiu did. When the time comes, don't cry when you see it." As he spoke, he rubbed the ink and started to use his hands.

"Taozi..." Jianqiu looked at Tao Yun with a hint of worry, he hesitated to speak.

He knew that Tao Zi, a little fox, had a strong self-esteem, and he should have been a very beautiful little fox in the past.It's just that it doesn't seem to know that it was covered with leprosy before, and although it's healed, it's still hideously ugly -- alas, Tao Zi is a very spiritual fox, if he finds out, he will definitely be sad.

Jian Qiu desperately wanted to catch Du Shiling's eyes, but unfortunately, this best friend who was usually good at observing words and emotions seemed to be blind and turned a blind eye to it.On the contrary, Tao Zi found out and pushed him out of the study angrily.

After a stick of incense, the painting is completed.Tao Yun cautiously leaned over to take a look.

It seems... the elders cast illusions on themselves... So in his eyes, did it always look like such a monster?

Tao Yan shivered for a long while, panting like a bellows, then finally let out a mournful cry, and rushed out of the study, passing Jianqiu who was guarding outside like a gust of wind, and ran away without looking back .

"Taozi! Taozi!" Jian Qiu chased out of the room, but the red figure of the little fox quickly disappeared.

Jian Qiu clutched his chest, with a pale face, his eyes were still looking at the direction the fox was running.

"Jianqiu, are you okay?" Du Shiling followed, as if realizing that he had caused trouble, he scratched his head with a fan embarrassingly, "No, I said Jianqiu, you can't hide it for the rest of your life, right? There is a fox who cares so much about his appearance..."

Jian Qiu glanced at him with a cold face and said nothing, and walked back slowly with a blank face, without anyone helping him.

Dozens of Taoists and the guards brought by their homes searched for three full days before finding the red fox under a big tree in the back mountain.

When Jianqiu rushed over, Tao Yun was squatting on a hanging branch of a big tree, staring at this side quietly with no expression on his face.

At this moment, the distance is far away, and the sunlight is somewhat blocked by towering trees.The mangy sores on the red fox's body were gone. At this moment, it was a very beautiful little fox.

Everything looked like that evening many years ago.

Jianqiu's heart beat rapidly.

He walked forward silently, stretched out his hands——

Many years ago, that red fox struck him with a bolt of lightning. Today, many years later, how will this red fox choose?

Jian Qiu silently looked at Tao Yun, and Tao Yun looked back at him calmly.

A gust of wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the shadows of the trees dance.

Tao Rong stood up.

In the wind, the red fox jumped up lightly and jumped into the arms of the young Taoist priest.

Jianqiu laughed, like treating a lost and recovered treasure, stroking the soft hair on the back of the little fox's neck as tenderly as possible.

Tao Yun lowered his head, and bit Jianqiu's wrist with one bite, tearing the skin and bleeding out.

——【Let you lie to me. 】

Jianqiu frowned, felt the pain but at the same time curled up his mouth: "Good boy, it's my fault."

Tao Yun swallowed the blood in his mouth.Decided to forgive this Taoist priest who always made him angry.

In fact, when the elders counted its crimes at that time, if it hadn't been for the felony of harming mortals at will, it would not have fallen into the situation it is now... After all...

"Anyway, I owe you all!"

Tao Zong gritted his teeth.

"Taozi, you...you can talk?" Jianqiu's doubtful voice came from next to his ear.

Eh? !Did you hear that?

This time, Tao Rong was stunned.
