Is the Name Bai Jiu Yi... Pretty? (4500 Words, Two-in-One)

Hearing the sound of a knife being sharpened, Bai Yi pushed open the old, creaking door a crack, then squeezed out like a kitten...

Watching Jiang Lin sharpen his knife, Bai Yi squatted by the door, observing him with great interest.

Although she had little confidence in this strange boy and felt that he would make a move on her sooner or later, this seemed a bit too fast...

Jiang Lin wiped the slight sweat from his brow as he finished sharpening the knife, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiu Jiu squatting by the door watching him sharpen it.

Jiang Lin brandished Vegetable Knife and walked over menacingly, only to find that Jiu Jiu remained unmoved...

"Jiu Jiu..." Jiang Lin held the knife to the Little White Fox's neck. "It's not that I'm being mean, it's just that this world is too cruel. How about I eat you instead?"

Jiu Jiu did not answer.

Jiu Jiu not only didn't answer, but instead rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin, then stretched her neck as if to say, "Come on, chop here..."

In fact, Jiu Jiu had long seen through Jiang Lin's thoughts; he was just trying to scare her again.

"You seem to have become a spirit, you little fox," Jiang Lin sighed, ruffling her little fox head. "Even if you've become a spirit, you won't turn into Fox-eared girls."

Jiang Lin put the knife back in the basket and sat down next to Jiu Jiu under the dilapidated eaves, watching the snow falling from the sky in ever-increasing amounts.

As he watched, Jiang Lin sighed softly, "Jiu Jiu, I'm so hungry..."

Jiu Jiu didn't answer, but she stretched her neck out as if to say, "Go ahead and eat me if you dare..."

Like a little girl, she was angry with Jiang Lin...

Seeing Jiu Jiu's outstretched neck, Jiang Lin smiled and scratched her chin:

"Alright, we've been living together for over two months now, it's time to say goodbye."

Hearing Jiang Lin's words, Jiu Jiu turned her head. Although he hadn't said it yet, she had already seen through his thoughts.

"I can't stay here. I'll starve to death sooner or later. Although I don't think I'm afraid of death, it would be such a waste to just waste my life like this. I think I can still struggle."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin leaned against the doorframe and continued watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"I have to leave this Novice Village that's as terrible as it gets, damn it! Seriously, when I woke up, I didn't see a single living person... I have to go out and see what this world is like. Maybe I can even make a fortune by smelting virgins!"

I originally wanted to bring you along, but honestly, I'm really afraid I might end up eating you on the way. It's just too unpredictable. Last night I started craving your body...

So, to avoid me getting so hungry that I actually eat you, let's part ways here, Jiu Jiu... See you later.

If that time really comes, you must become a beautiful Fox-eared girls. I'm a very practical person; gold and silver treasures aren't really my thing. You'll just have to repay me with your body."

Finally, Jiang Lin patted Jiu Jiu's head. He knew the Little White Fox wouldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from teasing her one last time.

Jiang Lin stood up and walked into the house.

Bai Yi turned around and looked at Jiang Lin, who was busy packing things in the room.

There wasn't much to tidy up in the house, just a few dried fish, some dried mushrooms, dried wild vegetables, and the like.

Jiang Lin removed a relatively clean cloth, divided the food into two portions, wrapped them into two small bundles, and then tied one of the bundles to the Little White Fox's back.

"Alright, don't say I'm being unfair. You're a fox, after all. I don't know why a carnivore like you would eat mushrooms with me... but it's a good thing, it'll make it harder for you to starve."

Jiang Lin picked up the Little White Fox, put everything in the basket on his back, and after walking out of the courtyard, he put the Little White Fox on the snow.

"I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Looking at the Little White Fox, Jiang Lin was actually very reluctant to part with her, and Bai Yi knew it too. But Bai Yi also knew that he was afraid—afraid that the fox would take her with him and lose its mind to eat her.

In fact, even now, the little boy in front of him is trying his best to restrain his desires.

Hungry, he watched himself secretly swallowing his saliva.

"Let's go, let's go! What's so good about fox meat!"

Carrying a bamboo basket on his back, Jiang Lin turned around and strode forward.

Squatting in the snow, Bai Yi watched his back, her little feet wanting to step forward, but then she pulled them back.

The other party has already kicked me out, so the game is over.

But why... do I still want to walk with him for a while?

That's really strange...

Bai Yi shook her head, turned around to leave, but before she could take two steps, she heard the crunching sound of footsteps on snow behind her...

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yi found herself being picked up from behind.

"Jiu Jiu... you heartless bastard! At least you chased after me a few steps before I chased you away, then you chased after me again before I chased you away again. How could you be so cruel?"

Jiang Lin kept rubbing against Bai Yi's fur, and Bai Yi's strange Xiao Xiao feeling vanished instantly; she even wanted to kick him a few times...

After giving the Little White Fox a few more good rubs, Jiang Lin really left, and then he started running as if afraid that Bai Yi would catch up with him.

Actually, Bai Xi never even considered pursuing him...

only...

Bai Yi watched Jiang Lin's Xiao Xiao figure disappearing into the white horizon.

For some reason, Bai Yi was surprised to find a Xiao Xiao thought lingering in her mind: would he come back and keep rubbing against her again...?

But after an unknown amount of time, he still couldn't be seen...

"What's wrong? Is your adorable Xiao Yi still hoping her lover will 'change his mind'? He's already gone."

The little boy didn't return, but another woman appeared beside Bai Yi.

Unlocking her Spiritual Apertures, Bai Yi's tails emerged from behind, slowly enveloping her petite body. The next moment, when she retracted her long tails, the woman, now in human form, stood on the snow.

She held a somewhat worn-out package in her hands.

I opened the package, and it was full of dried fish... all the leftovers from yesterday...

"Master, do you think he's an idiot?"

Looking at the package full of dried fish in her hand, Bai Yi slowly spoke.

How would I know...?

Bai Qianluo reached out her slender hand to grab a handful of dried fish from Bai Yi's hand, but her disciple ruthlessly wrapped up the dried fish and casually tossed it into her Storage Bag...

"Cough cough cough..." Bai Qianluo reluctantly withdrew her hand. "Alright, the game is over. I'm going to erase that little boy's memory now. Xiao Yi, do you have anything to say?"

What do you want to say?

"For example, asking me not to erase his memory, or requesting me to bring him back to the Cave Mansion, or even, Xiao Yi, you saying to me, 'Master, I think I've fallen for him,' or something like that."

Bai Qianluo gazed at the incredibly beautiful girl in front of her with a smile.

"So, is it there?"

"No, it's just a boring game, a waste of time."

After saying that, Bai Yi turned around and flew away.

"Oh dear~~~ This isn't right. In the novels, it's clearly written that foxes always fall in love with each other..."

Watching Bai Yi leave, Bai Qianluo took out a Novel Family written by a cultivator, a recent bestseller on the market. "The Untold Stories of Fox Demon and a Boy"...

Bai Qianluo was somewhat puzzled:

Shouldn't it be that Xiao Yi falls in love with that boy, and then that boy falls in love with Xiao Yi too? Then they'll be deeply in love, experiencing a love-hate relationship, then she'll suffer from amnesia and a terminal illness, and finally they'll Ascension immortality together at the last moment? This little boy's aptitude for cultivating immortality isn't bad either.

If it weren't for the fact that his lineage only accepts female disciples, he really would have liked to take him as a disciple.

"Novels are all lies after all."

Bai Qianluo muttered something, put the novel back in her arms, and walked in the direction Jiang Lin had left.

In another direction, high in the sky, Bai Yi looked down, her Spiritual Power concentrated in her eyes. In the white snow, a little boy in tattered clothes walked and shivered, leaving footprint after footprint in the snow.

He seemed to be muttering something to himself, but without a doubt, he was probably saying something strange again...

Gradually, his master caught up with him. It must have been his master who called out, because he turned around.

Just as he turned around, his master's long tail enveloped him. Bai Yi knew that in less than three breaths, his memories of himself would be completely erased.

Looking at the boy enveloped by his master's long tail, in her last breath, Bai Yi found herself instinctively wanting to take a step forward...

"That's ridiculous."

Bai Yi shook her head, realizing what she had done.

There are no towns or villages within a hundred miles except for wilderness. In a few days, he will die in this snow and ice. At that time, there will truly be no more cause and effect between him and me.

Bai Yi even felt that his master erasing his memories was unnecessary.

The master's long tail slowly untied, and he collapsed onto the snow.

He slowly woke up when his master left. After a moment of Mi Hu, he thought for a while, then gave up and continued walking.

"Let's go, Xiao Yi, let's go back." Bai Qianluo flew to her disciple's side. "Hmph! I knew it, those novels are all lies."

Bai Yi shook her head and said calmly, "I want to see how he dies."

"Wow, Xiao Yi, you're so cold-hearted..." Bai Qianluo rubbed Bai Yi's little ears. "A girl who's too cold-hearted will never get married, you know."

"Didn't Master also get dumped?"

"I... Hmph! That's because I dumped him!" Bai Qianluo turned her head away. "Fine, if you want to see, then go ahead. I'm going to the Demon Race World from Wutong Province, and I probably won't be back for the next few decades."

"Um."

"Xiao Yi, be careful, don't let anyone kidnap you and forcibly take you into their room."

"Isn't it Master?"

"Sigh... Xiao Yi was cuter when she was little." Bai Qianluo ruffled Bai Yi's hair. "Let's go..."

After Bai Qianluo left, Bai Yi watched him from a distance.

Cold and hungry...

In Bai Yi's eyes, he seemed to have reached his limit, but he still kept moving forward.

Finally, on the third day, after enduring another dark night, he could no longer stand up.

He silently picked up the knife in his hand, as if he wanted to commit suicide, but after thinking about it, he put it down.

What Bai Yi couldn't understand was why he showed no fear of death whatsoever; in fact, he seemed to long for death to come sooner.

Has it frozen its brains?

Seeing him on the verge of death, Bai Yi frowned slightly.

She wanted to save him.

Saving a mere mortal—even if there's a karmic connection, how significant could it be?

Even if it might become a "what if" that leads to my Ascension in the future, so what? What white fox in the world has already taken a step into the Immortal Realm at my age? Can a mere "what if" stop me from Ascension?

"Consider it a blessing that you give me the chance to groom my fur every day!"

In the air, the woman who had convinced herself to take a step forward saw two women on the snow-covered ground heading in her direction.

They were two cultivators, both at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Bai Yi stopped in his tracks, and just as he was on the verge of death, two women found him and saved him.

What are they talking about?

Finally, he nodded and was carried on the back of one of the prettier women.

And this lecherous fellow even took the time to sniff the woman's hair.

It's utterly ridiculous that I would even consider saving such a despicable person.

But... didn't he always act like this during the time he lived with me...?

Oh well, it doesn't matter anymore anyway.

Bai Yi turned and left, flying back to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

But deep down, perhaps without even realizing it herself, she felt a little happy that he had survived...

After returning to the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, Bai Yi continued her seclusion, but the image of that lewd and despicable man kept replaying in her mind.

This was the first time Bai Yi Bai Yi had been unable to calm down, which she couldn't understand why.

What's even more incomprehensible is that as the images of living with him kept flashing through my mind, my cultivation level was actually increasing little by little, despite my already unstable state of mind...

A year has passed since that winter...

When Bai Yi finally opened her eyes...

She has entered the Immortal Realm...

"What a laughable Immortal Realm... all because of a mere mortal."

The white fox proves its path through love, and Ascension through "understanding love"!

At that moment, Bai Yi realized... she had fallen for that guy!

But Bai Yi refused to admit it!

I have never improved my cultivation through "comprehension of emotions"! Not before! Not now! And certainly not in the future!

After that day, Bai Yi Bai Yi left the cave. In a bad mood, she destroyed the disgusting ruler of the Fox Clan Kingdom and took the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the Fox Clan Kingdom in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

With a Nine-tailed Sky Fox in charge, the Fox Clan Kingdom rapidly expanded, and Bai Yi began to have people investigate his affairs.

One day, after learning that he was going to a town, Bai Yi left Ten Thousand Demons Continent for the Wutong Continent. She was going to kill him, but of course, she wouldn't do it herself!

That day, Bai Yi transformed into a little girl and walked down the street, holding Lollipop in her hand, accompanied only by two maids who had taken human form.

The other Nascent Soul Realm subordinates remained hidden in the shadows.

Bai Yi originally wanted to see what he was like after two years before making a move, but who knew that this person would try to snatch her Sugar-coated Haws right away, which was rather interesting.

But it's alright...

At Bai Yi's behest, an elder at the Nascent Soul Realm made a move.

At that very moment, a woman appeared. She was the same woman who had saved him before. She was Sword Cultivator, and she was very powerful.

For some reason, seeing Jiang Lin with that woman made Bai Yi feel irritated, so she ordered her subordinates to kill the two of them.

"The woman has already fled; I beg Your Majesty to punish her."

In the end, even though it was five against one, the woman still managed to fight her way out, and despite being severely injured, she carried him away.

Bai Yi, who hadn't made a move from beginning to end, watched the sky where he left.

Why didn't I make a move...?

I remember the look in his eyes when he ran away, the look that said, "If anything happens to my master, I'll take you down with me."

Bai Yi slowly lost her senses.

This is the first time you've ever looked at me like that.

Is that woman really that important to you?

Staring blankly at the Sugar-coated Haws in her hand, Bai Yi called out the name of the maid beside her.

"His Majesty."

The white fox sisters knelt before Bai Yi.

"Do you think the name Bai Jiu Yi sounds nice?"

[Yi] is the word given by Master.

[] is the word he gave me.

Bai Jiu Yi...

He will add the character he gave me to my name.

Until the day he was killed...

Qian Mansion Residence...

The man in the woman's arms had already dissipated into the air as countless streams of Spiritual Power...

he...

He's really dead...

He was killed by his own hands...
