Chapter 247: Chapter 142 Qiu Qingtang: "I certainly don’t want others to think I’m a lax woman!"_2

"No way, my husband isn’t that kind of casual person," Zhu Nanzhi took a deep breath, "You’re pretty yourself, and he hasn’t made any improper moves on you after so many years, right?"

"You’re so hurtful with your words," Mu Qingyue closed the book in her hands, "Makes me want to hit you."

"Oh, I’m just describing it," Zhu Nanzhi blinked, "We’re all buddies now, right?"

Mu Qingyue snorted, "If you keep this up, I’ll find someone to bully you with."

"My husband? That could work."

"Ha."

Mu Qingyue thought her reasoning was perfect, standing on ’mother’ and Aunt Ruo’s side, leaving Nanzhi speechless.

"I wonder how late my husband will be busy tonight," Zhu Nanzhi peered down, "Probably can’t do anything with him."

"Why don’t you ask Aunt Ruo what she thinks of Junior Brother."

"True," Zhu Nanzhi nodded, "that’s more important."

As she spoke, she let out a small ’hmm’, "Fox demon."

Mu Qingyue turned to ’look’ at the night sky, seeing a white fox streak past, arriving before Junior Brother below, whispering something that made Jiang Wuya and others exchange glances and head to the city wall.

Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at Guan Wen, "What’s going on?"

Soundproofing arrays were placed around the city wall to prevent anyone from overhearing the conversation with the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Guan Wen leaned on the city wall, watching the flying boat gradually appear in the sky, and replied, "That white fox said their Demon Emperor only wants the Saint Heir to receive them."

Zhu Nanzhi’s eyes immediately became vigilant, "Is that Demon Emperor male or female?"

"I don’t know." Guan Wen shook her head, "After all, their list is still confidential, but it seems he has something important to say to the Saint Heir."

Without the heart to paint, Zhu Nanzhi watched the descending Fox Clan flying boat, her gaze growing more wary, praying that this Demon Emperor wasn’t a she-fox.

She couldn’t quite explain where this nervousness came from, but it was there.

Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at the landing flying boat, appearing thoughtful.

She recalled the Fox Emperor she had met at Zuiyan Building with Junior Brother... Could it be her?

Below, as the flying boat’s drafts lifted Lu Jin’an’s brocade robe, he calmly watched the opening hatch, pondering what important message this Fox Emperor had to convey.

His vision suddenly spotted a figure cloaked in a black cape, concealing both face and form.

The figure held a basin with blooming osmanthus flowers, cloud-like and delicate, looking extremely captivating.

Lu Jin’an squinted, feeling he had seen this black cloak somewhere before... seen it...!?

Upon seeing the little red fox leap onto the Demon Emperor’s shoulder, Lu Jin’an suddenly recalled the Fox Emperor he had encountered at Zuiyan Building... It’s her!?

It was indeed a Demon Emperor from the Qiu’s Fox Clan.

Based on his first impression of this female Fox Emperor, Lu Jin’an immediately thought of his ’female goods sales plan’. If he could collaborate with this Fox Emperor who developed silk stockings, it should be highly efficient.

Then he could... make a fortune!

But... as a Fox Emperor, is there still any need for cultural exchange?

He hadn’t heard of the Qiu’s Fox Clan arranging a ’leader’ Demon Emperor.

Besides... why was she the only one to come down? Where were the other fox spirits?

Countless thoughts whirled in his mind as Lu Jin’an watched the approaching Fox Emperor, first bowing politely, "I am Lu Jin’an, at the Sect Master’s order, honor your presence from the Qiu’s Fox Clan."

The Fox Emperor covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice clear and melodious like tinkling spring water, "Young Master Lu, hearing you speak so seriously is truly unusual."

Her words finished, she lifted the brim of her cape, revealing her smooth pink hair and delicate features.

Lu Jin’an’s eyes flicked in surprise, expecting this Fox Emperor’s aura to resemble the enchanting nature of his Master, after all, she was a fox.

But he never expected her to have such a pure face... like a high school student.

Especially recalling the various bawdy jokes she had uttered back at Zuiyan Building, Lu Jin’an found her gaze increasingly odd.

With such an innocent face, where did all those bawdy jokes come from?

Thus far, she seemed... quite normal.

"Young Master Lu, why aren’t you speaking?" The pink-haired fox glanced at his collar.

Lu Jin’an smiled, "I just didn’t expect it to be you."

"Quite a surprise, right?" The pink-haired fox arched her brows, her smiling lips revealing a pointed little canine, "It was to give Young Master Lu a startle, a delightful surprise?"

Lu Jin’an teased, "What, didn’t you come here for cultural exchange?"

"Of course, I came to Taichu Peak to study." The pink-haired fox glanced at his collar again, then walked a circle around Lu Jin’an, "Because I’m really curious how Taichu Peak raised such an interesting person as Young Master Lu...

Clearly, Young Master Lu appears gentle and refined, yet is so knowledgeable about the realm of desires."

Lu Jin’an said indifferently, "The feeling is mutual."

"Indeed," the pink-haired fox holding the potted plant returned to stand in front of Lu Jin’an, her lips curling into a delightful smile, "I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Qiu Qingtang, I hope Young Master Lu will guide me more in the future."

With those words, she bent her knees slightly and made a curtsy.

Lu Jin’an looked at this humanoid pink-haired fox spirit, thinking she was much more proper than she was at Zuiyan Building, perhaps due to the situation.

Being proper is good, for if she were spouting off-color jokes like at Zuiyan Building, Nanzhi and Senior Sister would come storming down.

As he thought, he was about to speak when he noticed Qiu Qingtang’s bright pink eyes fixed intensely on his collar.

The third time she’s looked...

He glanced down but saw nothing there.

"Oh, I can’t hold it in."

"Hmm?" Lu Jin’an looked at the fox spirit, his eyes filled with alertness, can’t hold what?

Qiu Qingtang patted the red fox on her shoulder, signaling her to change back into a girl, then handed the potted plant to her.

Then she reached out her finger toward Lu Jin’an, "Young Master Lu, your collar is too uneven, the right lapel has fallen an inch down!

Goodness, you have to wear such beautiful clothes properly!"

?

Lu Jin’an stared bewilderedly at the pink-haired fox, had she looked for so long just to say this?

An inch down... she noticed that?

Lu Jin’an’s eyes on Qiu Qingtang grew increasingly strange, thinking perhaps this fox spirit had OCD?

"You humans clearly invented such beautiful garments, yet you’re wearing them so carelessly, do you think it makes you look badass, able to attract others’ attention?"

Listening to Qiu Qingtang’s voice, Lu Jin’an opened his mouth but found himself speechless.

"Regarding this!" Qiu Qingtang drew back her right hand to pat her chest, "I not only wear my clothes neatly but also keep the right lapel very tight."

"Uh... huh?"

Lu Jin’an stared blankly at Qiu Qingtang, unable to grasp what the pink-haired fox was getting at.

"Because I don’t want, don’t want..." Qiu Qingtang seriously looked at Lu Jin’an, "I don’t want other people thinking I..."

Her tone grew more serious, and then she suddenly loosened up, still formally and rather smugly patting her chest, "Don’t want others thinking I’m a slack woman!"

Upon finishing, she cheerfully made a peace sign, blinking as though to cutely flaunt.

"Huh?"

Lu Jin’an was stunned for a few seconds, and then it clicked.

This fox spirit was making bawdy jokes!

She talked so much just to bring the topic to say that last line!

Looking at Qiu Qingtang’s sincerely innocent face, Lu Jin’an once again felt a sense of stuck frustration.

Dang it, what kind of people... ah, no, what kind of fox is this!

Lu Jin’an’s lips moved as if to say something, but then he saw Qiu Qingtang step forward, "Anyway, you humans should wear such beautiful clothes properly!"

"Oh..."

"Let me help you adjust."

"Uh... huh?"

Lu Jin’an’s eyes widened as Qiu Qingtang raised her hands and began adjusting his collar meticulously.

As Lu Jin’an came back to his senses, he immediately started to back away, "I can do it myself."

He felt the hostility emanating from the tower.

"Don’t move, your collar drooped even more... Do you want others to think you’re a loose man!?"
