Houtu Vents, an Indirect Kiss?

"Senior, may I visit you again in the future?"

Before leaving, Feng Hen asked Wu Chu with some reluctance, clearly not wanting to go.

Wu Chu knew that this wasn't Feng Hen suffering from Stockholm syndrome, but rather that the Little Qilin didn't want to leave the delicious food and entertainment of Purple Jade Mountain.

Although it requires hard work to earn delicious food, Feng Hen clearly felt it was worth it.

Back at the Qilin Royal Court, he was just Little Feng Jiu from the Feng Qilin branch. He had countless cousins and uncles. How could he possibly be qualified to enjoy such delicacies at the Royal Court every day? Besides, the food at the Royal Court couldn't compare to that of Purple Jade Mountain.

Moreover, many delicacies are not available in the Royal Court, such as ice cream and Watermelon.

Seeing Wu Chu looking at him with a wry smile, Feng Hen said again, "Senior, how about I become your disciple? I won't go back; I'll cultivate here on Purple Jade Mountain. What do you think?"

"I don't think so!" Wu Chu rolled his eyes at him, showing none of the demeanor of a senior expert. "Don't think I don't know why you want to stay. Get lost! Purple Jade Mountain is already very poor and can't afford to feed any more mouths."

Wu Zhan Feng Hen lightly, then bowed to Wu Chu and said, "I am grateful for your care these past few days, senior. I will definitely visit you again to learn from you in the future!"

Qingqiu Zhi hadn't expected Wu Zhan to utter such harsh words before leaving, and looked at Wu Chu somewhat awkwardly, bowing and saying, "Please forgive him, fellow Daoist, for his..."

Wu Chu waved his hand and smiled, "It's alright! If he comes looking for trouble again, it won't be as simple as just a spanking. I hope he'll think twice before he acts like this."

Upon hearing the words "spanking," Wu Zhan's body stiffened, and his lips twitched involuntarily. He cursed inwardly, "That damned, treacherous old thief! I promised not to tell anyone about this. I was so stupid! Really! I shouldn't have trusted that treacherous old thief's character."

On the other side, upon hearing the words "spanking," Feng Hen turned and left, no longer bothering to ask to become an apprentice, because the possibility was too low.

"Fellow Daoist, farewell!"

"Please, fellow Daoists, make yourselves at home!"

The four of them had barely left Houtu Miss Houtu arrived.

"Why are you only arriving now, sister? Is there a lot going on in the tribe?" Wu Chu welcomed Hou Tu Houtu, but Hou Houtu didn't answer his question. Instead, she went straight to Little Moon Spirit and said, "Little Moon Spirit, hurry up and cook for your sister! She's starving!"

"..."

Wu Chu blinked in surprise, while Little Moon Spirit covered her mouth and skipped off to cook.

Seeing Little Moon Spirit go to cook, Houtu breathed a sigh of relief and tossed the Little Enlightenment Tea Tree back to Wu Chu. "After the great battle, I ordered the clan members to go hunting, but as you know, there's nothing left to hunt nearby, so we have to go to more distant places."

As Wu Chu handed him the spirit wine, he listened to Houtu. This feeling was quite novel to him, after all, it was rare to see Miss Houtu in this Houtu.

Normally, people mostly see Houtu as a quiet and intellectual Houtu lady, and complaining seems to be something that doesn't fit her at all. But now, Wu Chu has discovered that she also has a temper, she has grievances, and she can complain just like ordinary people.

"Besides, winter is approaching, and prey will be harder to find, so we need to store up more food for the winter. I won't have time to come over until everyone has eaten their fill... Xiao Yu, do you have any ice cream? I haven't tasted that in ages! Get me some!"

Wu Chu chuckled and pointed to the weather outside, "You know winter is coming, where can you find animal milk anymore! This stuff..."

"Hehe, sister, I have some more here."

As the Little Fox spoke, it took out a box of chilling ice cream from its Storage Bag.

Wu Chu pointed at her, "You Little Fox, you actually kept secrets from me..."

Miss Houtu gave the Little Fox a thumbs up, "Xiao Yu, well done!"

With Miss Houtu backing her Houtu, the Little Fox wasn't afraid of Wu Chu's scolding. She even stuck out her little tongue at Wu Chu, slurping... Her charming and cute appearance completely lacked the allure of a fox spirit. Perhaps she knew that when it came to seduction, she couldn't compete with her ancestor!

Wu Chu casually tossed the Little Enlightenment Tea Tree into the valley below, letting it return to take root by the spiritual spring. Houtu said to Miss Houtu, "You don't need to worry about food. The Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan just gave me a few giant beasts..."

Miss Houtu was somewhat bewildered, and Houtu stunned silence, she said, "They're all offering the corpses of hostile beings as gifts? This... could it be that they're trying to disgust the other side?"

"Who knows what they're really thinking! Anyway, when I bluntly told them to their faces before, their expressions were quite interesting."

Houtu smiled and asked, "How many did you send?"

"There are five in total! I'll bring three back for you later."

Houtu shook her head and said, "No need for so many, one is enough. Just let them get through this winter, and let them go hunting next spring. Over the years, that 'Beast Brawl' and 'Mahjong' game you taught them has made many shamans complacent."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chu coughed lightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He thought about it; while this thing was good for passing the time, it could easily lead to neglecting one's duties.

However, he still argued, "Actually, from another perspective, as long as you can resist playing with this stuff, it's a kind of willpower training!"

Upon hearing Houtu, Miss Houtu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "So, does that mean I should thank you?"

"Saying thank you is too formal, you're my sister, we're like family... um!"

As Wu Chu was speaking, a spoonful of ice cream flew into his mouth, silencing him completely. This scene caused the Little Fox beside him to cover its mouth, turn around, and shuffle away quickly out of the Main Hall, its little shoulders shaking.

Miss Houtu snorted, "Shut your mouth first. I don't want to hear your fallacies right now. I'm already having a headache trying to prevent them from wasting their time on frivolous pursuits!"

Wu Chu silently closed his mouth, savoring the aroma of the shaved ice cream. Then he glanced at the small spoon in Houtu's hand and wondered: Could this be considered an indirect kiss?

Thinking about it that way, the ice cream in my mouth suddenly tasted sweeter and more delicious than usual.

Unfortunately, the ice cream melted too quickly and disappeared into his mouth in the blink of an eye.

"Sis, could you give me another spoonful? I haven't had this in ages! I never imagined that Little Fox would hide it from me..."

"No!"

Houtu began to protect the food, completely unaware of the sinister intentions of Wu Chu.

"Just one spoonful, just one spoonful..."

"Senior A Chu, I have another box here, you can have it!"

The Little Fox at the door thoughtfully tossed a box of ice cream inside.

Wu Chu really wanted to swat it away.

Eventful!
