Chapter 34: All Are Earthly Treasures

After seeing Ruo Wangchen out of the city, Lin Xun returned to his courtyard, but Jiang Qingshang hadn’t come back yet.

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly dispelled the lingering faint fragrance of a maiden from the courtyard, then he even took a bath.

After bathing and sitting in the courtyard, Lin Xun realized he didn’t need to do that at all. After all, he hadn’t hugged Wang Chen, so even if there was a scent, it would have dissipated by the time he returned.

“Damn it! And I’m innocent, what am I panicking about?”

Lin Xun helplessly rubbed his forehead. For some reason, he felt like his actions just now were like having an affair? And quite practiced at it too.

It was all the fault of the family dramas he watched in his previous life!

However, recalling her clear eyes at their farewell, Lin Xun felt as if he had committed some heinous mistake, and his heart was filled with self-reproach.

After Lin Xun drew a line in front of her small feet, sure enough, it was just like when he was eighteen and was about to enter the Dao.

No matter how much she wanted to follow, she never crossed that simple line.

That guy didn’t cry again, did she?

Going to Zilin Holy Land, she shouldn’t be bullied, right?

By the way, did she come alone? Were there no warrior monks with her?

Lin Xun tried his best not to think of her, but her figure always appeared in his mind.

In Lin Xun’s heart, he had unconsciously come to regard Wang Chen as his younger sister.

The frustrating thing was that he treated her as a sister, but she actually wanted to “plot against” him.

And she couldn’t even distinguish what “love” was, yet she wanted to marry him. How could there be such a naive person?

“Big Brother, Big Brother. I’m here to deliver food, Big Brother.”

While Lin Xun was still sighing, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Opening the door, he saw a small girl, carved from pink jade, wearing a pink dress, standing on the steps, holding up a lunchbox wrapped in thick cloth with her small hands.

“Hmm?”

Looking at the small girl, carved from pink jade, in front of him, Lin Xun could tell at a glance that she was not human.

Although a Spell had been cast to conceal her Demonic Qi, small tail, and ears, it still couldn’t deceive Lin Xun’s eyes.

This was a Little Fox Demon.

However, Lin Xun wasn’t Fahai; he wouldn’t shout

How cute this Little Fox Demon was.

Cuteness is justice!

“Little sister, who sent you to deliver this?”

Lin Xun took the lunchbox and smiled, stroking her small head.

Feeling Lin Xun’s large palm, the Little Fox Demon’s small body first stiffened, but after sensing no danger, her small body immediately softened.

Not only was she not shy, but she even tiptoed, gently rubbing her head against Lin Xun’s palm, her large eyes curving into two adorable crescent moons.

“Yaoyao Sister asked Yaya to bring it. The food was made by Qing… Qinger Sister.”

The Little Fox Demon paused, then said happily.

“Qinger? Is Qinger Sister not coming back?”

“Mhm mhm.” The fox demon named Yaya nodded like a pecking chick. “Qinger Sister said she won’t be back for the next few days and will stay with Yaoyao Sister, but Yaya will bring food to Big Brother every day, so Big Brother won’t starve to death.”

Lin Xun: “…”

Lin Xun: “What is your Qinger Sister doing with Yaoyao Sister?”

“Qinger Sister… Qinger Sister won’t let Yaya say.” The Little Fox Demon pouted, her two small index fingers poking each other, looking incredibly cute.

Lin Xun thought that if he were to have children in the future, he would definitely have a daughter!

“In that case, never mind.” Lin Xun pinched her baby-smooth little cheek, then pulled out a colorful lollipop. “This is made by Big Brother himself, for you to eat.”

As if children all had some kind of innate talent, though she had never seen one, she knew how to eat all candies. The Little Fox Demon tore off the wrapper, stuck out her small tongue to lick it, and her two big eyes lit up.

“Thank you, Big Brother.” Yaya said crisply.

“You’re welcome, but don’t eat candy from strangers, okay?”

“Mhm.” Yaya nodded heavily. “Yaya only eats Big Brother’s candy.”

Lin Xun: “???”

“Oh, Big Brother, Qinger Sister wants me to come back and get something.”

“Take whatever you want. Do you need me to help you send it over?”

“No, no need. Big Brother can’t go to the shop these days. Qinger Sister said she wants to give Big Brother a surpri—”

The long sound of the word “prise” was cut short. The Little Fox Demon, realizing she had let it slip, covered her mouth with her hands, wrapped the lollipop in its wrapper, put it in her small pocket, and then scampered into the courtyard with her short legs, thump-thump-thump.

“Qinger Sister said Big Brother isn’t allowed to come in.”

The Little Fox Demon, having received permission, jumped into the boudoir, poked her head out, and said crisply, then closed the door. A small figure could be seen jumping around in the room.

Half an incense stick later, the Little Fox Demon came out, her small, delicate shoulders carrying a small bundle, huffing and puffing.

“Finished packing?” Lin Xun asked with a smile.

“Mhm, finished packing. Goodbye, Big Brother.”

Yaya adjusted the small bundle on her shoulder, waved her small hand, and scurried out of the courtyard with soft thuds.

After the Little Fox Demon left, Lin Xun naturally returned to his room.

Lin Xun wasn’t worried about missing any valuable items; he simply wanted to know what Qinger was taking that was so mysterious.

However, the room was very tidy; it seemed Yaya had even helped clean up.

“Strange, nothing is missing?”

Neither the rouge on the dressing table nor Qinger’s clothes were missing at all.

What did that Little Fox Demon take? And why wouldn’t she let him see?

Just as Lin Xun continued to rummage through the wardrobe, he suddenly realized something strange.

“Why are half of my underpants and clothes missing?”

Looking at the bed, why was his pillowcase also gone?

“Qingshang Sister, Yaya is back.”

In the small alley shop, the Little Fox Demon returned triumphantly.

“You’re back.”

The young woman smiled, gently stroking the cute little girl.

“Mhm, I gave lunch to Lin Pei Brother, and Lin Pei Brother gave me a lollipop.” The Little Fox Demon said happily, untying the small bundle and giving it to Jiang Qingshang. “This is what Qingshang Sister wanted.”

“Thank you, Yaya, go play.”

“Mhm.” Yaya, having successfully completed her task, happily ran off.

Placing the bundle on her well-proportioned thigh, Jiang Qingshang slowly opened it, revealing men’s undershirts and square underpants.

Jiang Qingshang glanced around, a blush flying across her cheeks, then, like a thief, she picked up Lin Xun’s underpants and sniffed them for a long time at her small nose.

Chu Yaoyao happened to walk in and accidentally caught sight of her. Jiang Qingshang quickly put away the clothes, wrapping them up somewhat flustered.

“My dear girl.” Chu Yaoyao understood everything, crying and laughing. “Seeing how hurried you were, and having Yaya fetch it, I thought it was some kind of treasure…”

“What’s wrong? Is it not allowed?”

Since her best friend had discovered her, Jiang Qingshang gently smoothed the underpants, which she had accidentally crumpled, on her thigh. Her beautiful face was filled with blissful tenderness.

“To me, everything about him is an earthly treasure.”
