When I became a Jade-faced Fox

“Hahaha, hahaha, it’s itchy, don’t touch the old man’s waist.”

Yu'er touched the tea tree, and the tree began to tremble with laughter. Yu'er was startled and quickly put her hand down, taking two steps back in fear.

"Do you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Yu'er questioned angrily.

"Little kid, are we human? Of course we are not human, we are monsters. You sound like a human being when you say this."

"Speak." Yu'er pondered for a moment, and the past scenes flashed through her mind. No wonder her parents were so confident in her, no wonder her parents didn't make decisions for her without her permission, no wonder her parents... It turned out that after she learned to speak, she had already exposed herself. Although she was a fox, she had a living heart.

"Baby, what are you mumbling about?" A human face appeared on the tree, but he was not very old, and looked like a boy of 11 or 12 years old. But he spoke in an old-fashioned way, which was really a sense of disharmony.

"Don't call me baby. You made up your voice, didn't you? Why don't you check if it matches your face?"

"Ahem, there's no point in exposing it." The next second the voice turned into a childish voice with a hint of heaviness.

Yu'er simply sat cross-legged under the tree.

"You are not the tea tree that saved Nong Zu's life!"

"Of course I'm not. That's my ancestor. He became an immortal long ago and ascended to heaven."

“It doesn’t look like it.”

"Your opinion just now doesn't sound like that of a kid who's just over a hundred years old."

"What do you mean by understanding or not? I just read some books and my parents taught me. You are a tree and you can't go anywhere. How do you know all this?"

The two of them started chatting back and forth.

"I told you, the tea tree that ascended with the Agricultural Ancestor is my ancestor. The people of this village have been offering sacrifices to the tree for who knows how many years from ancient times to the present. It is inevitable that a god will descend. My ancestor enlightened me."

"I see. Then you are the spirit of plants and trees, why do you say you are a demon?"

"To be honest, for humans, it doesn't matter whether you are a fairy or a demon. We are all different species anyway. But for us, it's the difference in the path of cultivation. I was offended by calling you a demon just now."

A tree and a fox were chatting happily and agreed to continue the conversation the next day.

Before leaving, she remembered that she had forgotten to worship the Ancestor of Agriculture, so she turned back, bowed three times, and silently said in her heart: Ancestor of Agriculture, please forgive me. Today, Yu'er was reckless and almost bumped into you. Now I apologize to you.

When she returned to the cave, she saw that the Fox King and his wife had returned. Yu'er took the initiative to greet them, holding his wife's arms with both hands, and put her face on his hands, rubbing against them uncontrollably. The wife and the Fox King looked at each other and realized that Yu'er's mood seemed unstable.

"What's wrong? Are you not having fun after going out? Why are you becoming more spoiled now that you're one year older?" The lady touched Yu'er's head.

Yu'er wanted to speak, but hesitated, with a knot between her brows.

"Why can't you just tell your parents directly?" the Fox King chimed in.

"When did mom and dad know that I had memories of my previous life?" Yu'er asked hesitantly, clasping her hands.

"Mother was careless and your father discovered it a long time ago."

"After you were born, you always stared blankly at the top of the cave. After you learned to speak, it became even more obvious."

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"What's so strange about it? Although there are few people or monsters with innate wisdom, they do exist. Don't worry, you are our father and mother's daughter, our little Yu'er. Your father and mother will always love and protect you." The Fox King looked directly into Yu'er's eyes and said with certainty in his tone.

"By the way, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Yu'er told her parents the whole story, and wanted to prepare some things to offer sacrifice to the ancestor of agriculture.

"Whether in the past life or this life, Nong Zu is a deity worthy of respect and admiration. If I am lucky enough to meet him, I will naturally express my gratitude to him."

"Mom and Dad will go with you tomorrow. So what are you going to prepare?"

"Incense pills and mountain fruits, it would be nice if we could have fresh grains."

"We are a family that lives on wind and dew, where can we get any food?" The Fox King shook his head. "You and your mother should make the fragrant pills tonight. Tomorrow morning I will go to the mountains to look for some good fruits."

As she spoke, Yu'er sighed, "I always feel like I'm being educated along the way."

"Only with education can one grow up. My New Year's wish is that my Yu'er grows up healthily."

"New Year's wish, my parents are healthy and safe."

Yu'er wanted to tell her parents what she was thinking about, but the heavens wouldn't let her open her mouth! She couldn't say anything. Yu'er could only turn her back and sigh silently.

He started making incense pills with his mother. Making incense was a natural skill of the fox tribe. Everyone knew that foxes had a foxy smell, so once they became intelligent, they would try to find some fragrant herbs and flowers to cover up their smell. Those with high magical powers could even make incense with fox glands as the base.

Yu'er was born in the Golden Elixir Realm, unlike other little foxes, so she didn't have this worry. But her mother, Madam Hongshao, really loved beauty and would make her own incense from time to time. Under her influence, Yu'er made some achievements.

"It's not difficult to make incense pills. What matters is what kind of shape you want to make it."

The lady laid out all the incense, wood powder and sticky powder used, and Yu'er examined them carefully.

"Mom, these things are enough, but I want to add one more aromatic medicine - tea leaves."

"Isn't it here?" The lady pointed to a small box.

"The ancestor of agriculture ascended from this place, and the tea tree that saved his life also ascended with him. The tea fairy left his descendants, and I want to borrow a few leaves from him. Mother, do it first, I'll be back soon." Yu'er said, and was about to run out. But she was pulled back by the fox king's sleeve.

The Fox King sent Yu'er there. Yu'er looked at the dark temple, swallowed silently, and glanced at her father. She found that her father did not understand what she meant and motioned for her to go quickly.

It’s okay, it’s okay. I am not a human being, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The ancestor of agriculture is enshrined in there, so there won’t be ghosts. No, no, no.

Yu'er walked while muttering to herself.

In fact, if someone came at this time, he should be the one who was scared, after all, he could see a pair of eyes emitting green light hanging in the air.

"Hey, hey, wake up."

"Ghost!"

When Cha Shu was awakened by Yu'er, he saw a pair of eyes glowing green and cried out in surprise.

"Where is the ghost!" Yu'er was also frightened and jumped up.

"Little kid, you are a little kid, why are you here in the middle of the night?" Cha Shu recognized Yu'er's voice.

Yu'er slowly opened her eyes and reached out to slap the tree trunk. "Why are you scaring me?"

"You are the one scaring people, okay? You little fox, you are not even a human, and you are afraid of ghosts."

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts, too?"

"If you have something to say, please say it quickly." Cha Shu seemed a little embarrassed and spoke stiffly.

"I want to exchange things with you. Can I exchange the spiritual dew for ten of your leaves?" Yu'er handed over an uncorked jade bottle with the liquid inside glowing silver.

"Are you sure you want to change it? This is not ordinary spiritual dew, this is moon dew, with a little moonlight!"

"Yes," Yu'er nodded.

"Your fox clan is best at worshiping the moon, so you have no shortage of moonlight. Let's exchange them! Don't say that I'm taking advantage of you. I'll give you twenty leaves." As he spoke, twenty lush green leaves were already hanging in front of Yu'er's face.

"Okay, then I'll take it. I'll pour it under the tree for you." Yu'er took the tea leaves with a wave of her hand and shook the bottle with her other hand.

"Little aunt, please be careful, don't spill it, just put it on the ground." Cha Shu said anxiously.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Bye." Yu'er waved, turned and left.
