Bai Suzhen, I really need to punish you properly.

People keep asking me to post pictures, so here's one, I'll post it in the comments.

Qingqiu.

The celestial palanquin slowly descended.

Ahead lay a perpetual, bluish-white miasma, thick with fog, isolating both the inside and outside.

Wang Xuan lifted the curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair, taking out a jade pendant with a fox pattern.

This is the travel token that Feng San Niang gave him.

Wang Xuan gently held the jade pendant in his palm, and a wisp of green light flowed out from between the patterns on the pendant. The green and white mist seemed to meet a watercourse, slowly parting to both sides to reveal a wide road.

The group entered.

Fox guards emerged from both sides of the road, the leader bowing and saying, "Please wait a moment, guests. Please state your identity and purpose."

"This is the Palace Master of Xuan Nu Palace, and I am her Daoist partner." Wang Xuan raised his hand and pointed to the celestial sedan chair behind him, his expression calm and composed. He deliberately made their ambiguous relationship sound like a done deal, and then explained his purpose, "I am good friends with Feng San Niang from your Qingqiu. I have come here to see her."

Inside the sedan chair, Leng Bingxin remained seated as usual, showing no reaction.

The Dharma Protector Leng Huazhi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

Although the sedan chair was separated by a gauze curtain along the way, the space inside was small, and she could still vaguely see some intimate actions between the two.

Now that Wang Xuan has publicly declared that the Palace Master is his Daoist partner, and the Palace Master has tacitly agreed, his intentions are all too clear.

The thought that the pure, noble, and aloof palace master would be so easily captivated by this guy made Leng Huazhi feel heavy-hearted, as if the sky had collapsed.

Upon hearing this, the fox guards exchanged glances and, seeing that the spiritual energy emanating from the jade pendant was indeed exclusive to the direct descendants of the clan, dared not be negligent.

"Please wait here for a moment, and a servant will come to escort you shortly."

Before long, a fox spirit dressed in a light blue dress walked quickly over. A fluffy tail hung behind her, swaying as she walked. She bowed slightly to the group and softly led the way.

Within Qingqiu, mountains stretch endlessly, ancient trees reach for the sky, and streams crisscross, creating a picturesque landscape.

Halfway through their journey, a striking red figure strode towards them. It was none other than Feng San Niang, who had rushed to meet someone who had brought her jade pendant into the mountain.

She wore a pomegranate red corset dress, her figure was slender, and her eyes were full of joy.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the fox spirit who had led the way gave a slight bow and then left first.

"It really is you!"

Feng San Niang looked at Wang Xuan with a smile in her eyes.

Wang Xuan reached out and pinched Feng San Niang's cheek, a playful smile on his lips: "Who else could it be but me?"

Feng San Niang gently patted the door open and asked curiously, "Why are you here? Are you alone?"

Wang Xuan said in a serious tone, "I haven't given you the farewell gift from last time, so I came here specially to make up for it."

Feng San Niang blushed slightly and gave him a shy yet charming glance.

A detached female voice came from the sedan chair behind them, interrupting their intimate moment: "Hurry up and find out the location of the Heavenly Mountain Gate. I don't want to waste time."

Feng San Niang asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

Wang Xuan finally understood.

Although Leng Bingxin didn't care that there were other women around him, she couldn't bear to see him laughing and being intimate with other women when he was with her.

Having finally come all the way to Qingqiu, how could I not stay a little longer?

Since Leng Bingxin is being temperamental, he should just coax her a little.

Wang Xuan turned around, came to the celestial sedan chair, reached out and took Leng Bingxin's hand, leading her out of the sedan chair and to Feng Sanniang. He solemnly introduced her, "This is the Palace Master of Xuan Nu Palace, and also my Daoist partner."

Feng San Niang's cherry lips parted slightly, revealing a faint pink tongue tip, her beautiful eyes wide open, stunned in place.

He had only been told the general location of the Xuan Nu Palace before, and in such a short time, he had already captured the Palace Master of the Xuan Nu Palace.

Ignoring Feng San Niang's astonishment, Wang Xuan continued, "San Niang, we've been traveling a long way and are exhausted. Why don't you take us back to your place to rest for the night? I have something I want to ask you."

"Okay, come with me."

Feng San Niang led the way.

Wang Xuan followed closely behind, holding Leng Bingxin's hand.

Behind them were Leng Huazhi and four maids carrying the sedan chair.

Leng Bingxin asked softly, "Why not just ask her directly?"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again," Wang Xuan laughed. "We've already found Qingqiu, isn't it inconvenient to question them? We should at least stay for a day so that Third Sister can fully express her hospitality. You spend most of your time in the Xuan Nu Palace and rarely get to experience the world, so wouldn't it be perfect for you to visit Qingqiu?"

Leng Bingxin frowned slightly and asked softly, "Then why did you leave immediately after borrowing the Dragon Saliva Dew when you last came to my Xuan Nu Palace?"

Wang Xuan didn't explain, but instead smiled and said, "Then next time I go to the Xuan Nu Palace, should I stay a few more days?"

A faint blush rose to Leng Bingxin's cheeks, and she softly replied, "Mm."

As they traveled, Feng San Niang would occasionally turn back, pointing out the scenery along the way and explaining the sights and features of Qingqiu to Wang Xuan in detail.

This is a peach grove, there is a spiritual spring, and further behind is the Moon Mirror Pool.

He recounted the story in detail, as if reciting a familiar tale.

Oh, no, this is her home.

Along the way, we encountered many fox clansmen with fluffy fox tails hanging down their backs, making them particularly eye-catching as they walked.

Wang Xuan looked around and casually remarked, "You Qingqiu foxes really have quite a few."

Feng San Niang looked speechless: "Do you want to hear what you're saying? What's wrong with Qingqiu foxes? There aren't many of them!"

Wang Xuan was speechless for a moment. If Leng Bingxin hadn't been watching him, he would have definitely gone up and pinched her cheek to vent his anger.

Feng San Niang added, "However, there used to be more foxes in Qingqiu, but later an elder took a group of his people away, and they have been missing ever since."

Wang Xuan immediately became interested: "Wow, that's amazing! What's your elder's name? Is it male or female?"

There must be quite a few foxes in this world.

First are the four ancient fox clans: Qingqiu, Tushan, Yousu, and Chunhu.

There is also Bixia Yuanjun, also known as Taishan Niangniang, a Taoist goddess. Every year, she would examine all foxes in the world, and those who passed would be accepted and taught the methods of cultivation.

For example, there's Yingning and Xin Shisi Niang from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," Bai Ling from "The Living Buddha Ji Gong," the Eighth Sister and Ninth Sister from "Everyday Happiness," and even the Jade-Faced Fox beside the Bull Demon King. Of course, it's hard to say whether they've hooked up yet.

These are just some of the things he can think of; there may be many more that he cannot imagine.

Therefore, he was quite interested in some of the strange tales about the fox clan.

"She was a woman. I don't know the specifics, but I know she wanted to save her son and obtain some kind of treasure, and then..."

"Oh~" Wang Xuan interrupted casually. At first, she was listening with great interest, but when she heard that the other party was a mother fox with only sons, her interest immediately dropped by more than half.

He then asked curiously, "Why are so many fox tails sticking out, but yours aren't?"

Feng Sanniang explained, "Some of them are half-human, half-fox, some are not yet skilled enough, and some just like to show off."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly. He really wanted to ask Feng San Niang if she liked Lu Lu, but then he thought of Leng Bing Xin, who was always jealous, so he decided to ask her in private.
