I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

Putting down his spoon, Chen Yuze looked seriously at Chi Lian, whose face clearly said, "Come praise me!"

As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on. Although Chi Lian is a demon, Chen Yuze still intends to ask Chi Lian what's going on, in order to take care of the physical and mental health of every girl in the family.

"Can you tell me why you did this?"

"Eh?"

She eagerly awaited her master's praise, but instead received only a question of accusation. Chi Lian's disappointment was written all over her face without any attempt to hide it.

Seeing Chi Lian's dejected expression, Chen Yuze realized he might have been too direct, and instead offered words of comfort:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to blame you, I just wanted to know why you did this, Chi Lian. Besides, if I suddenly did something unusual, Chi Lian would also worry about me, right?"

"So, sir, you asked that because you care about me?"

"Of course. After all, I just told you not long ago that Chi Lian only needs to be herself. She doesn't need to compromise and change herself for other reasons."

Reaching out to smooth a strand of hair from Chi Lian's forehead, and seeing that Chi Lian's mood had clearly improved, Chen Yuze continued to ask:

"So, Chi Lian, can you tell me why you did this?"

"Because yesterday while soaking in the hot springs, I accidentally overheard Bai Hua and the master's conversation." With a sigh, Chi Lian explained the whole story:

"I don't know why, but whenever I see Bai Hua playing role-playing with Master and hear her calling him Master, I feel really uncomfortable. After all, Bai Hua's status and cultivation are much higher than mine. I'm really afraid that Master will lose himself in calling her Master so often and then ignore us."

"So you started calling her 'master' like she did?"

Chen Yuze listened to Chi Lian's explanation with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and was immediately amused.

Fortunately, Chi Lian's misunderstanding of Bai Hua only remained at the level of role-playing.

If she found out that Bai Hua was a genuine masochist, who knows if Chi Lian would come looking for Chen Yuze with a leather whip in the dead of night.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Everyone has the freedom to choose how they address others. Even if Bai Hua calls me 'Master,' I won't abandon you all who have been with me for so long. Besides, I definitely feel more comfortable when you call me 'Master' rather than 'Master'~"

"Really?"

"A single word is absolutely true!"

"Great!"

Chi Lian was a very generous girl. The disappointment she felt came quickly, but it also went away quickly.

After being comforted by Chen Yuze, she hugged his neck tightly, pressed his head down, and kept calling him "Master".

Poor Chen Yuze, he almost suffocated from being suffocated by this girl.

120. The Meaning of Life

The autumn air is crisp and the sun is shining brightly.

Three days have passed since Bai Hua arrived at Changqing Mountain.

Although three days is not a long time, it allowed Bai Hua to gradually get used to the rhythm of life in this home.

In stark contrast to the daily rhythm of the Qingqiu Empress, Bai Hua's greatest feeling in this home is leisure.

I don't have to get up early during the day, and I just play a few rounds of mahjong with my girlfriends whenever I have free time.

In the afternoon, they would lie on the rocking chair in the courtyard with their master, drinking immortal tea that could increase cultivation, and spending a leisurely afternoon together.

After dinner, you can enjoy the night sky over Changqing Mountain with your host while soaking in the spiritually rich hot spring.

In this home, Bai Hua no longer has to be troubled by those so-called important national and family affairs.

There's no need to worry about trivial matters of state anymore.

They don't even need to put in the effort to cultivate; their cultivation level can increase much faster than others.

With its charming owner by its side, this small villa is practically a paradise straight out of a myth.

However, it was precisely because of the stark contrast between life here and life over the past thousand years that Bai Hua couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Even in this family, Bai Hua never put on airs as the Queen of Qingqiu, and she got along quite well with her sisters.

But she just felt that she didn't belong here.

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

Upon discovering Bai Hua sitting alone on the swing, staring blankly at the rocking chair, Chen Yuze slowly walked up behind her and gently pushed the swing for her.

"Owner……"

Looking back at the handsome man who seemed to have stepped out of a painting, Bai Hua couldn't help but ask:

"May I ask you, Master, how did you cultivate such a tranquil and detached state of mind, one that has seen through the illusions of the world?"

"I haven't seen through the illusions of the world, and there are some things you can't just say carelessly."

Continuing to push Bai Hua on the swing, Chen Yuze said with remarkable candor, "Like all men in this world, I like pretty girls. And I also have all sorts of thoughts and desires about pretty girls."

Before Bai Hua could respond, Chen Yuze continued speaking:

"Actually, Bai Hua, you don't need to force yourself to have the same mindset as me. After all, everyone's mindset is different depending on their pursuits and preferences."

"Can two people with different mindsets live the same life under the same roof?" Bai Hua's eyes were still filled with confusion, clearly she hadn't yet figured out what Chen Yuze meant.

In response, Chen Yuze nodded slightly and said matter-of-factly:

"Of course. Like me, all I ever wanted was a peaceful life like a flowing stream. Being able to spend my days leisurely in the mountains with a beautiful woman by my side would already make me very content. A life of turbulent waves and vengeful vengeance is obviously not suitable for me."

"But living in seclusion, spending your days playing cards, drinking tea, stargazing, and taking baths, isn't that just wasting your time?" Bai Hua continued to ask.

"No."

Chen Yuze shook his head and stopped pushing the swing:

"The meaning of life is what people give it. In the eyes of ten thousand different people, life will have ten thousand different meanings. Moreover, the meaning of life is constantly changing according to different stages of life. Take me for example, in my eyes, the meaning of life is to eat well, drink well, and live each day leisurely."

These were Chen Yuze's heartfelt words.

After all, in his previous life alone, he had already had enough of a life where he not only couldn't see the future, but also had to constantly compromise for the sake of survival.

His pursuit is simple: to live a life as comfortable and carefree as he does now, where he can clear his mind anytime and anywhere and enjoy the tranquility of life.

"So, Bai Hua, what do you think is the meaning of your life?"

"The meaning of my life..."

As she reflected on the past, the confusion in Bai Hua's eyes gradually faded.

"The meaning of my life is to evolve into a nine-tailed spirit fox like my ancestors, and lead Qingqiu towards a great revival!"

The confusion in her eyes gradually gave way to confidence, and at this moment, Bai Hua seemed to be radiating a dazzling light.

"But now, the meaning of my life has changed! The revival of Qingqiu can be left to the successor. And all I want is to continue serving my master."

"I merely derive supreme pleasure from my master's humiliation and whipping! If my master permits, I also hope that one day in the future, with this lowly body, I can give birth to a litter of healthy and lively little foxes for you!"

"So, that settles it, doesn't it?"

Although Bai Hua's insights did sound a bit like some kind of perverse declaration, Chen Yuze was genuinely happy that she was able to see through her confusion.

"Although we each have different views on the meaning of life, that doesn't mean we live under the same roof."

Chen Yuze pushed the swing up for Bai Hua once again, and smiled slightly:

"None of us have the right to criticize or judge the meaning of another person's life. As for right and wrong, good and bad, we should only know the truth of our own feelings."

"Ah."

He carefully touched Chen Yuze's large hand, which was still on the swing rope, with his finger.

Then, with a slightly uneasy feeling, Bai Hua placed her palm on the back of Chen Yuze's hand.

When she was pleasantly surprised to find that her owner did not object to her transgression, a simple and straightforward happiness appeared on Bai Hua's face.

"I really hope to train a successor to replace me soon, so that I can stay by my master's side forever~"

"Let's think about these things slowly after we return to Qingqiu."

Taking a deep sniff of the fragrance emanating from Bai Hua's hair, Chen Yuze unconsciously increased the force with which he pushed the swing:

"At least during your time in Changqingshan, I hope you can live a carefree life, Baihua."

"Then please, Master, punish your most loyal and lowly servant as much as you can!"

……

Meanwhile, on a mountain range only three days' journey from Changqing Mountain, a fiery red flying sword hovered above it.

The owner of this flying sword was none other than the queen of the Tushan Red Fox Clan—Tushan Meixi.

Although this trip to Changqing Mountain was to find the eight-tailed spirit fox of Changqing Mountain.

But for some reason, as they got closer to Changqing Mountain, Moxi became increasingly uneasy.

It was an indescribable surge of emotion.

In the more than a thousand years since she became the Empress of Tushan, this was the first time Moxi had experienced such a strange feeling.

"Changqing Mountain, oh Changqing Mountain, you truly arouse my growing curiosity. This time, I'm going to see what exactly is disturbing my peace of mind!"

121. I am Dr. Chen.

Early this morning, Chen Yuze, who hadn't done this in a long time, carried his bamboo basket and sickle and went to the mountains to cut grass.

Although Changqing Mountain is located in a relatively remote area among the Ten Thousand Mountains, it is still home to many wild spiritual herbs and plants.

Of course, these spiritual herbs and plants can only reach their full potential in the hands of someone like Chen Yuze, who is proficient in herbalism and pharmacology.

Even if an ordinary person manages to pick it, it will only rot in their own hands.

This is also a major reason why some powerful forces have not set their sights on Changqing Mountain.

After all, it's already quite an achievement to be able to take care of one's own mountain. There's really no need to send someone all the way to this remote and inaccessible Changqing Mountain just for these spiritual herbs and plants.

However, today, there really was a Tushan Empress who wasn't afraid of trouble, who traveled a long way to this remote Changqing Mountain.

Standing atop a crimson flying sword, her fiery long hair swayed in the wind.

Although with Moxi's strength, she could easily use her divine sense to search for the eight-tailed spirit fox she was looking for.

But after thinking for a moment, she gave up on this approach.

Firstly, using divine sense to sweep away evil spirits is not a polite practice. She and the demons on Changqing Mountain have always kept to themselves, and there is no need to make things unpleasant with them just for the sake of temporary convenience.

Secondly, since there is a reclusive eight-tailed spirit fox on Changqing Mountain, its cultivation level should not be too low. Although Moxi has absolute confidence in her strength, it doesn't mean she only knows how to solve problems with her fists.
