Chapter 13
w.a.n.g Bao really sensed that he had come at an inopportune time. He had only just knocked on the door when he was given an aggressive "get lost" by his Lordship. He could only creep silently into a corner, thinking self-pityingly to himself: he can laugh with others like a flower, but to this servant he"s as fierce as a demon, really his brain has been overtaken by l.u.s.t.
He didn"t know what kind of person was inside to be able mesmerize his Lordship to this extent. Even the young master"s breakfast and lunch had been forgotten.
After Zhao Xuan got rid of w.a.n.g Bao, he bent over to help the little fox put on his shoes. Helplessly he realized that the size of his shoes was much too big for the little fox. When he wore it his foot slid around and almost half of it was empty at the back.
"Seems like I need to hurry and make you a complete new set of clothes, otherwise you can"t leave the house. Also, can you change your hair color a little bit?" After encountering the frightening incident the night before, Zhao Xuan felt like he needed to protect the little fox even better. He definitely couldn"t let any outsiders get suspicious about his ident.i.ty. How many celestial masters were there in the world? After getting rid of the Court Preceptor, would there be a second or third one? Rather than having to be on his guard day and night, it was better to hide the little fox"s ident.i.ty from the very beginning. Thinking about this, he decided to go by the Court Preceptor"s residence again, to get some magical items that could suppress a demon"s energy.
Although Zhou YunSheng wasn"t any kind of big or powerful demon, however he still had some inherited tricks up his sleeve. He ran his right hand over his hair and the silver-white color changed to a raven color. He was just about to change the color of his eyes when he was stopped by his lover, "You don"t need to change the color of your pupils. The Tian Yuan country is strong and prosperous, it has many trade routes with different places. So there are many mixed children with people from other countries with different eye colors. Your pair of amber eyes shouldn"t be too strange, so you don"t need to change it." Actually, he was very much in love with this pair of amber eyes so he couldn"t bear changing it.
Zhou YunSheng nodded his head. He picked up a strand of dark hair from his shoulder and examined it with interest.
His silver hair had turned black, but the little fox was still beautiful enough to steal the soul. However his demonic feeling had been reduced quite a lot and Zhao Xuan felt rea.s.sured. He hugged the little fox and sat him down properly on a chair, then took off his loose and large robe and wrapped him up in it. After confirming there wasn"t anything exposed which shouldn"t be, he finally called w.a.n.g Bao inside.
"Your Lordship, you"re up at last. The little master"s breakfast and lunch have cooled and been reheated, then cooled again. So it can"t be eaten anymore. This servant will go and ask the kitchen to make a new one." Since he had angered his master twice this morning, w.a.n.g Bao was very intelligent and immediately started talking about the little master.
Zhao Xuan was immediately distracted by his words and instructed him to go and hurry to fetch it.
"Wait a moment, what"s for lunch today?" Zhou YunSheng called w.a.n.g Bao to stop.
Previously he hadn"t changed his shape and wasn"t capable of human speech. He ate whatever his lover ate, it wasn"t possible to be picky. But now he had finally changed into human shape, so he wanted to eat a good meal.
w.a.n.g Bao had immediately noticed the other person in the room upon entering. However because he knew of his master"s possessive streak, he didn"t dare to even look. But now that the other person was speaking to him, he seized the chance to look a few times, and immediately showed an expression similar to being struck by lightning.
Oh my lord, is this a person or an immortal ah? How can he look like this? No wonder he suddenly appeared in his Lordship"s room and wasn"t killed by his Lordship, turns out it"s because of this can captivate a whole country face.
w.a.n.g Bao had come out of the Imperial Palace, what kind of beauties hadn"t he seen before? However he really had never met someone before of this calibre. The youth"s face was beautiful beyond compare, it made people unable to find words to describe it. w.a.n.g Bao turned his gaze away with shock, all that remained in his head was that pair of radiant amber eyes. His aura was very special, slightly demonic and seductive, but at the same time mixed with innocence and naivety. It made people really unable to help but love him into their bones.
This type of beauty, who would dare to even hurt a hair on his head? His Lordship was also a hero that couldn"t pa.s.s the test of a beauty ah!
w.a.n.g Bao was cut by his master"s knife-like gaze. He hurried to lower his head and didn"t dare look again. He replied, "Replying to this young master, today"s lunch is crystal frozen shrimp, ruyi fish rolls, four ways lobster, steamed squid, four joys dumplings, and also two stone pot soups. If there is anything you want to eat, please tell this servant and I will instruct the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Right now Zhou YunSheng was a fox demon so his tastes were influenced by his body"s innate nature. He had no interest in vegetable dishes, he only wanted to eat meat. Particularly birds. His eyes went bright and he said in one breath, "What shrimp and fish ah, change it out for me. I want to eat white pheasant, salted chicken, coconut steamed chicken, roasted chicken wings, fried chicken legs and also one rabbit meat dish."
w.a.n.g Bao"s eyes went wide. He asked carefully, "Don"t you want some vegetable dishes to clean the stomach? Or maybe try a bit more variety? A whole table of chicken, won"t you get sick of it?"
Zhao Xuan rubbed his lips and laughed lowly. When he saw the little fox pout and look at him he hurried to instruct w.a.n.g Bao, "Do as your told, stop with the nonsense! Go go go, tell the kitchen to prepare immediately. Li"Er is hungry. Also, bring out all the cloth and materials from the storage and call two tailors over. This lord is going to make Li"Er some clothes."
That"s right. The timing was late now and the little master must be hungry. w.a.n.g Bao nodded. His gaze swept around the room however he didn"t see any shadow of the little master. Instead he saw the master familiarly cuddle the youth on his knee and lovingly kiss his face. Then he began to rub the youth"s delicate and white pair of hands, the movement was exactly like when he petted the little master.
This, this, this, what was going on? w.a.n.g Bao was stuck down with shock and rushed out of the room in a cold sweat. In his mind the youth"s pair of amber eyes appeared again. The moment when he had seen the youth, other than being shocked by his beauty, there was also a strange sense of familiarity. Now he finally knew where that feeling of familiarity had come from.
His eyes were exactly the same as the little master"s! And his Lordships att.i.tude towards him was exactly the same was the way he treated the little master. He suddenly appeared and the little master suddenly vanished, and his Lordship who treated the little master so preciously didn"t seem worried at all….
"Aiya! He was actually a fox demon! No wonder he looks like that!" Just as the words came out, w.a.n.g Bao immediately used his hands to cover his mouth. He ran away in a hurry.
Since his Lordship didn"t specifically try to hide it from him that means he was showing trust in him. If he betrayed that trust then his end would be very tragic.
After obtaining the little fox, Zhao Xuan had never let anyone except w.a.n.g Bao enter his room again.
He disliked that group of perfumed and powdered servant girls surrounding the little fox, he didn"t want them to touch even a hair on his head.
So after w.a.n.g Bao left, he could only clean the little fox"s face personally.
"Raise your chin a little." He used a warm towel to clean the little fox"s face, neck, ears etc. Then he rubbed his hands clean, finger by finger. He smiled and said, "Now that it"s changed to human hands, it"s harder to clean. Before your paws were so tiny, soft like cotton. Just rubbing it lightly is enough. Now it"s turned to ten fingers and requires more effort."
"If you think it"s annoying then you don"t need to help me wash, I can do it myself." Zhou YunSheng rubbed his face against him familiarly, then his fingers were kissed intimately by his lover.
Zhao Xuan loved his little appearance to death. He drew him into his embrace; kissing, gnawing and biting. He even sucked his ear into his mouth and fed him a string of data. Then he complained, "I was just joking with you, how could I think you were annoying? Even if you ask me to be your horse or cow I"d be willing. I love it the most when you"re riding on top of my body, so wild and beautiful." As he talked there was a reaction from down below, and a large swelling appeared under his robe.
Fox demons were naturally lasvacious. Now that he was being teased how could his desire not rise?
The corner of Zhou YunSheng"s eyes became reddened, and his pair of radiant eyes seemed soaked in spring water, wet and dewy. It made one want to come close and kiss him crazily, wanting to consume him into their bones.
Zhao Xuan"s eyes went dark. He just wanted to take this person back to the bed when he saw w.a.n.g Bao come in with a group of attendants.
w.a.n.g Bao was naturally very intelligent and perceptive. When he completed tasks he very rarely made a mistake. Otherwise how could he have served beside the Regent for over a decade?
However right now, he really hated that his ears were so sensitive and actually managed to hear his Lordship"s love words.
What be your horse and cow? What ride on my body? Aiya, even just thinking about it slightly made his ears go red. When he realized he had brought so many people in and disrupted the Regent"s mood, he wanted to kneel down straight away at the door.
However luckily his reaction was quick. He pretended he didn"t hear anything at all and said gravely, "Your Lordship, the material is here. I"ve also brought the tailors and seamstresses over, so the young master can pick and choose." After that he waved his hand the completely clueless group of attendants, tailors, seamstresses etc came inside to be cannon fodder. He himself hid in the doorway and didn"t dare to come closer.
If it wasn"t for the fact that the little fox started laughing, seemingly very amused at his expression when his desires were thwarted, Zhao Xuan really wanted to kick these people to the corner of the earth.
He forcefully suppressed his desire and placed the little fox back onto the chair. He ordered, "Place them over there."
The attendants hurried to put all the materials onto the table, then backed out the way he came. Only two tailors and two seamstresses were left, looking very unsettled.
Zhao Xuan held the little fox"s hand and walked over to examine the material. w.a.n.g Bao didn"t dare to act dumb any longer, he hurried to help the two masters to make the bed. Before coming he had already prepared himself in his heart, however when he saw the ma.s.s of white liquid covering the sheets, the messiness, as well as the thick fragrance covering the entire bed, he couldn"t help but expose a shocked expression. In his heart he thought; it"s no wonder he"s a fox demon, his bedroom skills is this pa.s.sionate. I heard that fox demons survive by sucking yang energy, he won"t suck his Lordship into a corpse right?
After thinking about this, he raised his eyes and glanced with worry at the Regent. He decided that when these two people parted, he would find his Lordship and gave a good chat to him and try to persuade him to send the fox demon away.
Zhou YunSheng personally didn"t have much requirements when it came to his dress, however the fox demon tribe was vain. If their appearance wasn"t beautiful enough, they would rather re-cultivate and change their appearance once more. They would never just settle for anything. For example everyday Zi Li would look in the mirror at least two hundred times, she was really very narcissistic. Because of this, Zhou YunSheng was also influenced. Before when he was a little fox he only thought about playing, but now that he was a person, he was very attentive to his dress and looks. When he saw flowery and bright colored fabrics he couldn"t help but hold them up against his body to see the effect.
He walked to the edge of the table and picked the brightest red colored fabric and held it up against his body. Then he said happily, "Do I look good in this?" Without waiting for his lover to reply, he then picked up a roll of green tulle and said, "This is also nice. I like it." Red and green together, dog fart, what kind of aesthetic sense do you have? Inside, Zhou YunSheng"s soul really wanted to cry however his fox nature suppressed him. This fox was extremely interested in bright and radiant colors, and would only pick this type of fabric to wear.
Even though there were outsiders here, Zhao Xuan didn"t care at all and embraced him, biting him a few times. He said, "You look good in anything you wear. There"s not that much fabric in the storage, another day I"ll take you out to buy more. Inside the palace there also many tributes, I will tell w.a.n.g Bao to bring them home."
Outwardly w.a.n.g Bao nodded, smiling brightly, however his heart was filled with worry.
Look at how the Regent loves the little fox in his bones. Even holding him in his hands he"s scared of breaking him, holding him in his mouth he"s scared of him melting! If he tried to persuade him to send the little fox away, he would be the first one to leave!
A worry ah, such a worry!
Zhou YunSheng made "en-en-ah-ah" noises of agreement, rubbed him with his cheeks, then impatiently motioned the tailor to come take his measurements. When Zhao Xuan saw him holding a tape measure and approaching the little fox"s body, his face immediately went black. He seized the measuring tape and personally measured him up. After he wrote up the data he threw it at them and ordered, "Go now. I want to see two sets of clothing by tonight. He needs it urgently. The rest can be made within a month."
The tailors and seamstresses all nodded. When the Regent waved his hand they hurried to leave. They completely didn"t dare to be curious about this suddenly appeared young master. Just as they left, the kitchen sent over food. A whole table full of chicken appeared, extremely delicious smelling.
Zhou YunSheng immediately threw his new clothes to the back of his mind. He grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and also didn"t forget to tell his lover to eat quickly while it was still hot.
Zhao Xuan thought that the little fox didn"t know how to use chopsticks. He smilingly demonstrated for him a few times, and forced him to use the chopsticks to give him some food. Then he ripped up the chicken leg into small pieces, and fed it piece by piece into his lips, his eyes full of indulgent spoiling.
"Instruct people to go out to look for Li"Er, make a big spectacle of it." He was scared that the little fox would choke, so he up a cup of hot tea and fed it to him slowly.
Zhou YunSheng glanced at him. He understood that his lover was trying to mask his ident.i.ty. Previously everyone knew that he loved the little snow fox. Now that the little snow fox had disappeared, it wouldn"t make sense if he had no reaction.
w.a.n.g Bao also realized, and agreed with worry in his heart.
