I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Xi had long wanted to remove the table, and the old man's suggestion was exactly what she was thinking.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. Qinghuai, Chuyu, take good care of these two guests. San'er, accompany Grandma for a walk."

"Oh!"

The little fox girl took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her mouth clean, then quickly went to the old woman's side to help her up.

The remaining two fox women responded softly.

The old woman's figure slowly disappeared into the house, and only after the door closed did Qinghuai speak.

"Enjoy your meal, guests. Chu Yu, go and prepare the rooms for the guests."

"?(o?o?)ok????"

Chu Yu swallowed the last bite of rice, elegantly wiped her mouth, and slowly stood up.

“No need for this young lady to trouble herself. We have already eaten and can go together.”

Xi called out to Chu Yu, and then also got up from her seat.

"I see. Then please follow me, guest."

Qinghuai leisurely got up, preparing to take Xi to the guest room to rest.

"Chuyu, take good care of the little guest."

"……Um?"

Seemingly aware of Xi's question, Chu Yu explained with a smile:

"Guests need not worry. Although our house is not very big, we have enough guest rooms for the two of you to rest. There is no need for the two of you to share a room."

"...Alright then."

"gentlemen?"

Ignoring the expectant gazes of the daytime, Xi departed with the green locust tree.

"Oh, sir..."

Bai Zhou wanted to follow, but Chu Yu grabbed her hand.

"Keeping a proper distance can lead to some unexpected good things, little guest."

Chu Yu leaned down and whispered in Bai Zhou's ear with that mysterious smile.

"Um...but..."

Bai Zhou sighed and gave up the idea of ​​going back.

"Then, come with me, little guest. I'll make you a comfortable and warm bed. Forget everything else tonight and get some rest."

During the day, Bai Zhou followed Chu Yu out of the house, passed through the corridor, and after turning a corner, they saw the guest room with its vermilion lacquer and carved tiles.

"What a big room!"

Upon entering the room, one sees a golden beast-shaped incense burner and a red sandalwood chair and cabinet.

Walking further in, one sees jade pillows and gauze curtains.

That's a large bed made of red pine wood, and a silkworm quilt from the Tianshan Mountains.

"Is...is this really a guest room?"

Bai Zhou looked up in surprise and asked.

This is hardly the kind of luxurious furniture a family in a small village would own.

"After all, he's a minor VIP, so we should treat him to the best of everything."

Chu Yu's smile remained mysterious, which only intensified Bai Zhou's curiosity.

"Little darling, would you like to wash up?"

"Hmm, just tell me where I can get water, Sister Chuyu."

"How can that be? I already said I would treat you well. If my little esteemed guest doesn't have a good experience, I'll be scolded by Grandma."

"Grandma is extremely strict in this regard!"

Chu Yu trembled with fear, which made Bai Zhou pout and look away.

"Alright, little sir, please wait a moment. I'll prepare the hot water right away."

During the day, Chu Yu was half-carried and half-pushed to sit down on the bedside. Then, under his curious gaze, she displayed her Originium Arts.

She pulled out the emerald hairpin from her hair, and her long, moon-white hair flowed down to her waist, the ends of which were lifted to form a beautiful arc.

Her slender, delicate hands held a jade hairpin, drawing a complex character in the air.

Immediately, the door was pushed open, and a group of foxes with human-like shapes carried in a large basin of steaming water.

The foxes set down the wooden basin, bowed respectfully to the daylight, and then disappeared.

"My esteemed guest, please take a bath!"

Chu Yu looked at the daytime with a smile.

"Uh... is it okay if I don't wash it...?"

I thought it would just be washing my feet and face, but I never expected it would be a full-body bath.

Bai Zhou glanced at Chu Yu, whose eyes were shining, and shrank back in fear.

"My esteemed guest must be weary from your journey. Please take a good bath to cleanse yourself. After all... there may not be enough water for a bath further ahead."

"what?"

I noticed the word during the day.

What does it mean to have "no extra" water?

"Ah, I've said too much by accident. My little lord, if you want to know more, please take a good bath, and then... if you still wish, then Chu Yu will take you to see Grandma."

Chu Yu covered the corner of her mouth, her voice soft and gentle, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

"Grandma has everything that the little darling wants to know."

"Waaah..."

In that case, he wouldn't be able to refuse.

Bai Zhou took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the wooden tub.

"What's wrong, little noble one?"

After waiting for a long time without seeing Bai Zhou take off his clothes, Chu Yu asked in confusion.

"Um... Sister Chu Yu, could you please go out first?"

"Huh? No."

Chu Yu decisively rejected Bai Zhou's request.

"However, if Little Noble doesn't mind, Chu Yu can help you."

Then, with a strange smile, she reached out her hand to Bai Zhou.

"My dear, little sir, let me see!"

Returning to the 39th divination, good or bad fortune.

"Waaah... sir... I'm not clean anymore... waaah..."

During the day, he lay on the edge of a wooden tub, letting the person behind him wash his back.

"Whoosh, that's not enough to resist me. Now, watch the back massage I learned from Grandma."

Chu Yu pressed down on the boy's back, using all the massage techniques she had learned from the old woman.

"Ugh...it feels...good...if this continues...we won't be able to go back..."

Chu Yu's back massage is really great; the comfortable massage made my whole body feel relaxed.

"How is it, my little sir?"

"Sister Chuyu, there's no need to call me 'noble person,' you can just call me by my name."

I haven't heard this title in a long time, and I feel quite out of place.

"Hmm, alright then, I'll be a little bold and call you Little Nobleman... um, how about I call you Little White?"

"Sure, you can call me whatever you like, Sister Chuyu."

"Wuhu, so, Xiaobai, it's time to clean the front."

"Waaah, Sister Chuyu, can I do it myself up front?"

"Oh no~".

"If you feel shy, just close your eyes, and you can pretend nothing happened."

"Well……"

Looking at Bai Zhou, whose eyes were closed and whose face was blushing with embarrassment, Chu Yu smiled happily.

Chu Yu really likes children.

However, not just any child is worth all the effort she puts in.

Aside from appearance and behavior, she preferred the pure, innocent scent that emanated from the soul of a good child.

Coincidentally, all three are present during the day.

A beautiful appearance, elegant and polite manners, and a rich fragrance from the depths of the soul... it's like a cat encountering catnip that has become a spirit, making it easy to fall into its spell.

That's wonderful, my little darling.

He recalled what he had learned from the old woman about Bai Zhou's deeds, and the glorious journey that was about to take place—a journey that only he could undertake.

She felt incredibly excited.

To meet such a benefactor, to witness the great things he did, and to be able to pass them on, Chu Yu felt that her fox life was complete.

"You're all washed, Little White. You can open your eyes now."
