Fox Ancestress Learns the Arts, Demons Come from the East

Since the Fox Ancestress didn't say she was leaving, Wu Chu, as the host, naturally couldn't send this 'old lady' away. He could only keep her company every day, eating and drinking with her, enjoying the scenery with her, and watching symphonies and Flower Fairy Dance with her.

Whenever the Little Fox leads the Little Flower Fairies in dancing for her... at that moment, the Little Flower Fairies would gather a cloud of mist beneath them.

After all, if those tiny bodies were to jump while standing on the ground, the sight would be a bit unsightly. The Little Flower Fairies are born with an Innate; each of them is only twenty or thirty centimeters tall, only slightly better than Yibao, the Phone Sprite. However, they do look adorable and very cute.

At times like these, Wu Chu would wonder what it would be like if this Fox Ancestress were to appear and perform a Celestial Fox Dance.

However, Wu Chu dared not make this request, after all, that dance was too... well, Wu Chu was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would embarrass himself again.

The first time you embarrass yourself, you can still pretend you just wanted to experience the other person's charm. But if you embarrass yourself again, then it means you lack self-control.

Perhaps sensing that Wu Chu's cultivation level wasn't very high, Qingqiu Li didn't discuss any Dao with Wu Chu. Instead, she mostly talked about her past.

After staying for more than a month, the Fox Ancestress began to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting from the Little Fox.

This excited the Little Fox quite a bit, and she couldn't help but feel a little thrilled. After all, this was her ancestor teaching her! Although she didn't dare say it aloud, her animated expression betrayed her inner turmoil.

Qingqiu Li naturally noticed this, but she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she studied very diligently and would occasionally ask Wu Chu how he came up with those musical instruments.

The Dao of Music is understood by very few in this Primordial Land. Even the Qingqiu Fox Clan, who possess the Celestial Fox Dance, only know some very simple techniques for playing musical instruments.

Moreover, what was being struck was not an actual 'zhu' (a type of ancient Chinese building), but rather some ding (another type of ancient Chinese bronze vessel).

Using the rhythm of the cauldron's sound, they danced the Celestial Fox Dance, a dance that captivated countless living beings.

One can only imagine how beautiful the Celestial Fox Dance was!

Wu Chu had actually witnessed the Celestial Fox Dance before, but the dancer was Little Fox, and with her petite figure, it was difficult for her to fully display that naturally alluring dance.

And so, more than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

With the Fox Ancestress's abilities, her ability to learn was naturally exceptional. She easily absorbed all the superficial knowledge the Little Fox had accumulated over the years. Moreover, the Fox Ancestress could even apply what she learned to other situations, easily surpassing her great-great-granddaughter.

In response, Wu Chu couldn't help but sigh: Your ancestors are still your ancestors after all!

This was somewhat of a blow to the Little Fox. Although she was congratulating her ancestor on the surface, her occasional pouting lips let Wu Chu know that she was actually a little aggrieved.

The Fox Ancestress may not have realized what the Little Fox's expression meant, but Wu Chu, who had lived with her for so many years, understood it very well.

So he found an opportunity, while Qingqiu Li was playing the zither, to come to the pavilion, pat the Little Fox's head, and said with a smile, "Don't you feel useless? The things you've explored and figured out over the years have been learned by others in the blink of an eye!"

"No, no!"

The Little Fox was a little embarrassed and uneasy, its fox eyes darting left and right.

"After all, that was your family's ancestor, wasn't it!"

"Oh dear! Senior A Chu, you're so annoying!" The Little Fox stomped its little feet in dissatisfaction after being interrupted by Wu Chu, which made Wu Chu burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Wu Chu said, "Actually, I'm not surprised at all that your ancestor was able to master the skills you know so quickly. After all, your ancestor was a powerful figure at the Daluo Realm! At their level of cultivation, unless someone truly has no talent at all, they can learn anything very quickly. After all, this isn't about cultivation comprehension."

After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "Learning something is different from figuring it out on your own. Figuring it out on your own takes a long time, but once you have a path, it becomes very simple to follow. Your ancestor was just following the paths you had already walked. You were the pioneer on this path, while your ancestor was merely a beneficiary standing on your shoulders."

The Little Fox's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter after Wu Chu's words, but she kept her laughter silent for fear of being heard by her ancestor.

Wu Chu laughed and said, "However, I must say, your Fox Clan's talent in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting is truly remarkable! Especially your ancestor, he was truly amazing!"

The Little Fox said smugly, "Our ancestor has even more amazing skills! If Senior A Chu were lucky enough to see our ancestor perform the Celestial Fox Dance, hehe..."

"What are you talking about? Does that mean you wish to witness our clan's Celestial Fox Dance?"

As the sound rang out, a fragrant breeze wafted into the pavilion, and a beautiful figure appeared.

Faced with the Fox Ancestress's enigmatic, half-smiling expression, Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I've already seen this dance with Xiao Yu, so I wouldn't dare trouble you again, fellow Daoist."

"How could it be considered a trouble! If you wish to see more, I wouldn't mind performing a dance for you. Moreover, in this period of time, as my understanding of the Dao of Music has deepened, I've gained some new insights, and I'm actually thinking of borrowing your ensemble to refine this dance! If you're interested, you can observe and offer some suggestions. I've heard from Xiao Yu that you have quite remarkable skills in singing and dancing..."

Wu Chu opened his mouth, wondering how to refuse the temptation, when Sacred Tree suddenly sent him a message: a large wave of monsters was flying towards this direction.

Wu Chu looked up at the distant sky, which was now filled with dark clouds.

The Fox Ancestress also looked towards Fang Tianyu, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, "It seems we have a guest! Fellow Daoist, do you know whether he is friend or foe?"

Wu Chu shaded his eyes with his hand, smiled, and said, "The wind comes from the east, and the leaden clouds gather. Such a grand display, as if you're afraid others won't know, suggests you're an enemy, not a friend!"

With such a grand display, even if it were the White Ye King himself, it's hard to guarantee that the other side wasn't there to demonstrate their power. Therefore, it's unlikely to end well.

"Yibao, are you awake? We're in trouble!"

Wu Chu called out to Yibao in his heart. After all, not long after the Fox Ancestress appeared, Yibao had fallen into a deep sleep again. He wondered how well she was integrating with that Indestructible Spirit Light.

"Do you need my help?" the Fox Ancestress asked.

Wu Chu shook his head slightly, "Let's see how things go for now!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "If the other party is corrupted by that Old Demon, then it's best for you to just watch from the sidelines. I can't let your Qingqiu also become enemies with that Demon Lord."

"Fellow Daoist, you're being too polite!"

The Fox Ancestress shook his head slightly and said softly.
