These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu finally found the direction of the sound, which was near the medicine cabinet. He moved closer little by little, speaking to the other person to lower their guard.

"Hmm... pig's trotters, make a lot. I see the little fox has gotten thin from hunger, let's give her a good boost. I only need one or two, the important thing is that she eats more... ah!"

Wei Tu finally picked up the little red fox from behind the medicine cabinet.

The little fox began to struggle violently, and Wei Tu grabbed her long, fluffy tail.

The boy sneered.

"Wow, so now you're even impersonating your master's voice to fool people, huh? I never knew you had this skill before."

The little fox struggled violently.

"Let me go!! Wei Xiaoer... I... I... I was acting under orders! My master told me to do this!"

The little fox, on the other hand, seemed righteous and resolute, showing no sign of remorse.

Wei Tu squinted at the little fox, "Oh? What did your master say?"

The little fox used her not-so-good memory to try her best to reconstruct the story, though it's also possible she made it up on the spot.

"My master said... I should teach you a good lesson on her behalf..."

"Oh, so your lesson is to trick me into making you pig's trotters?"

"Is that not allowed? Isn't this also a form of punishment?"

"I'd like to stew you."

Wei Tu looked at this arrogant little fox with a cold smile.

The little fox immediately curled up in the boy's hand, adopting a fully defensive posture.

"No...you can't eat me...I...I don't taste good!"

"How do you know if it's good or not if you haven't tried it? What if it's exceptionally delicious?"

"I have a lot of hair, so it's troublesome to deal with..."

"It's okay, just scald it with boiling water."

"Waaaaah, Master... Master! Help!! Wei Xiaoer is going to devour you!"

"What's all the noise about? Can't you even sleep in peace?"

Mu Xitong, who was lazily walking out of the room, stopped the two immature children.

Wei Tu smiled and released the little fox from his arms.

The little fox immediately darted over and hugged Mu Xitong's leg with teary eyes.

"Waaaaah, Master, Wei Xiaoer is going to eat me! Waaaaah, I almost thought I'd never see you again..."

Mu Xitong gently stretched out her foot and kicked the little fox away. The little fox rolled around a few times and then ran back, this time climbing directly onto Mu Xitong's hand.

"Master... Waaah..."

Mu Xitong was unable to hold the little fox.

"Alright, alright, are you being too serious? He's just trying to scare you. When did he ever really want to eat you?"

The little fox looked at Mu Xitong with teary eyes.

"Then...if he really wants to eat me, will Master stop him?"

Mu Xitong thought for a moment.

What do you taste like?

"Waaaaah...!!"

The little fox ran away, wiping away its tears.

Mu Xitong and Wei Tu remained in the hall.

The two sat in a seat in the hall, which was still filled with the aroma of medicine.

Mu Xitong seemed a little sleepy, sitting there with her hair still a bit disheveled, and she kept yawning.

The way the woman yawned was rather cute.

She clenched one fist, covered her red lips slightly with the other, then squinted her eyes, and a small yawn caused a few tears to well up in her eyes.

Then he gently wiped away his tears with his fist.

His face still looked sleepy, and he seemed a bit dazed and listless.

"By the way, Sister Xitong, how come she suddenly knows how to imitate your voice?"

Wei Tu asked curiously.

Mu Xitong shook her head.

"I don't know either. Yesterday... the night you left, she started imitating your voice. I thought it really was you."

Wei Tu thought for a moment.

"I didn't notice when I heard her imitating your voice. Is this a skill of their Fire Fox clan?"

Mu Xitong thought for a moment, then, seemingly finding the thought too painful, she frowned slightly and clenched her fist to tap her forehead.

"I don't know...maybe, but she's almost twenty years old, it's normal for her to start awakening some abilities..."

Wei Tu looked at Mu Xitong in surprise.

"In your twenties? In your twenties, you're still acting like a child."

Mu Xitong glared at the boy, annoyed. "Nonsense... Do you think she's human? The demon race has extremely long lifespans; they're not ordinary animals. They don't have as many greedy and calculating thoughts as humans, so they naturally seem a bit simple-minded and naive. Otherwise, would you really want to bully her..."

"Hehehe... Hey, Sister Xitong, do you think this little fox will eventually turn into human form?"

Wei Tu asked with great interest.

Mu Xitong subconsciously replied, "The transformation of demons into human form is a different stage, but with her talent, she should have been able to appear much earlier... What are you thinking?"

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

Wei Tu had a simple and honest appearance.

Mu Xitong sneered, "You wouldn't be thinking of going after even the foxes, would you?"

Wei Tu looked at Mu Xitong with an innocent expression.

"How could that be? Sister Xitong, what kind of person do you think I am? I am only interested in beautiful and charming older sisters like you."

The boy's expression was very sincere.

Mu Xitong laughed so hard her body trembled, her quivering breasts creating a dynamic scene that made one's mouth water.

"That's true, but you seem to be more interested in your senior and junior sisters."

"That's because I respect Sister Xitong. How could I dare to do something that Sister Xitong didn't tell me to?"

"Wei Tu, you're getting better and better at lying through your teeth."

Mu Xitong had long been used to Wei Tu's way of speaking, where it was impossible to tell which words were true and which were false.

Anyway, she didn't really care.

He lazily squinted his eyes and pointed to the mountain of prescriptions over there.

"Please help me get rid of these things..."

"How come there's still so much? I remember there was only about half left when I left..."

Wei Tu looked at the numerous prescriptions with a puzzled expression.

Mu Xitong looked at Wei Tu with great joy.

"This is proof that I'm going to test you. Aren't you touched? Your sister is so good to you."

"I'm so touched I could cry. Sister Xitong, could you consider recruiting more people from the Medicine King Pavilion? It's too much work otherwise. It would be best if they were all young and beautiful female disciples."

"Dream on. I'll work with you. There's a lot piled up; it'll probably take until tonight."

Mu Xitong stood up, looking helplessly exhausted from her work.

Wei Tu had no choice; since the other party had spoken, he could only help with the tedious and frustrating work of refining medicine.

Looking at Wei Tu's unwilling expression.

Mu Xitong smiled and moved closer to the boy, then pulled Wei Tu's ear.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Wei Tu sighed and turned to look at Mu Xitong.

"Sister Xitong takes such good care of me, how could I not help with such a small thing? Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"This is my good little brother."

Mu Xitong smiled and then pulled the boy's ear over, tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek.

Then she smiled charmingly.

"Don't let your sister down."

This busy period lasted from day to night.

The last batch of pills is estimated to be ready by tomorrow morning.

I'm not so much tired as mentally exhausted.

Because refining medicine is a long and tedious process, you have to handle each herb carefully, paying attention to the heat and the proportions, and then you have to check the quality and whether it is usable.

The most boring thing in the world is killing time.

It seems meaningful, but it is actually meaningless.

After finishing all that, Wei Tu lay on the floor, arms outstretched, not wanting to move at all.

The other woman had already fallen asleep by the window. Mu Xitong had used up all her energy in the first half of the journey, and then spent the rest of it sleeping.

Wei Tu felt that the woman had become increasingly lazy because of his presence.

I don't know how long I've been lying there.

I heard footsteps coming from the window.
