Xing Yuan swallowed, her fox nature making her excited.
At least that's what Xing Yuan thought. Otherwise, why would she, a fox of such singular devotion, have the urge to visit the Nanfeng Pavilion? She should be going to a brothel.
That's right! She could go to both.
Since she hadn't seen her sister yet, it seemed like a good idea to see the world before looking for her.
So, the two foxes happily wagged their fluffy tails, like two silly dogs.
"I'll transform into human form and carry you in later," said Hu Xiao Jing.
"Okay," Xing Yuan nodded. She would reluctantly deign to inconvenience herself.
They underwent some simple checks for humans outside the city gates and were allowed back in.
While there were many demons in this world, not many newborn calves like them dared to enter the capital.
Everyone knew that the capital was a place where luck converged, and the National Preceptor was of profound cultivation.
Although they treated some demons who had not yet taken human lives a little more gently, it was only for some.
The aunt that Hu Xiao Jing mentioned also had the opportunity to settle in the capital because she made a deal with the National Preceptor and the Emperor was enamored with her.
But at this moment, the two little ones were unaware and were wandering through the capital with great interest.
"What is this?" Hu Xiao Jing asked curiously.
Xing Yuan replied, "Tanghulu!"
Hu Xiao Jing licked her lips and asked again, "Can I eat it?"
"Yes!" Xing Yuan nodded affirmatively.
Then she said ruthlessly, "But you have no money."
"Ah—" Hu Xiao Jing withdrew her gaze, the entire fox losing its spirit.
Why did humans need money to exchange for things? When they were on the mountain, they traded goods for goods.
"Xiao Yuan, you know so much! Did you secretly take extra lessons behind my back? We agreed to be lifelong slackers, but you abandoned me." Hu Xiao Jing whimpered, glancing at Xing Yuan from time to time.
Xing Yuan paused and said helplessly, "I have gold! I can exchange it for money."
Hu Xiao Jing immediately stopped her act and extended her hand, "Xiao Yuan, your cultivation is not enough. Why don't you let me keep it?"
"Okay," Xing Yuan nodded, "but you have to exchange it for change before spending it."
Hu Xiao Jing nodded and ran off to exchange the gold for money.
There were many large merchants in the capital, and they disdained to deceive a young girl. Hu Xiao Jing smoothly took the money and began to buy a lot of things on the street.
She had also eaten some mortal food, brought back by the old foxes who returned to Fox Mountain after being heartbroken.
However, there were still many goods here that she had never seen before.
Xing Yuan, on the other hand, was knowledgeable. She pulled the full and satisfied Hu Xiao Jing, "Xiao Jing! Let's go to that Nanfeng Pavilion and brothel first!"
Hu Xiao Jing reacted and jumped excitedly, her tail almost showing.
"Lend me some of your demon power, and I'll maintain human form for a while to take a look," Xing Yuan requested.
As good sisters, Hu Xiao Jing readily agreed.
Money makes the guest!
Hu Xiao Jing looked at the handsome young men surrounding them and let out a "sihaha~" sound, rubbing her hands.
This Nanfeng Pavilion was indeed as famous as its reputation. They were all incredibly handsome, and all one had to do was pay to have their bodies. This was simply a foolproof business, and Hu Xiao Jing was incredibly tempted.
On the other side, Xing Yuan used her fan to shield herself from the men who were like wolves and tigers.
Beauty was a fox's nature. Once transformed, foxes were all beautiful. However, Xing Yuan happened to have a seductive face. Her eyes seemed to draw people in, captivating the young gentlemen who were accustomed to romance and beauty.
Xing Yuan looked resistant. Distance creates beauty. She just wanted to look, she hadn't planned to do anything.
Just as one was enjoying herself and the other was resisting, a voice came from the second floor, "Truly, phoenix eyes curved like amber, and a single cherry-like vermilion lip! Not bad! You are qualified to be one of Yuwen's consorts."
The two looked up and saw a man with skin as fair as jade and a demeanor like a noble orchid standing on the stairs. He held a fan, and his peach blossom eyes looked at them with a smile that was not a smile.
Hu Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, and she instinctively pushed away the people beside her.
Foxes had very high standards. These men might offer her a fleeting romance, but the man in front of her was even more handsome. Perhaps they could develop further. Moreover, she cared more about the quality.
She readily nodded, "Okay!"
Xing Yuan covered her face with her fan. What a lustful fox, forgetting her friend for lust!
However, as soon as she turned around, she met a pair of icy cold eyes, scaring her into leaning towards Hu Xiao Jing.
She suspected that she had opened her eyes the wrong way today. Otherwise, how could she be caught red-handed by her sister while doing something she shouldn't?
"What's wrong?" Hu Xiao Jing was busy looking at the handsome man.
She said casually, without even sparing a glance at Xing Yuan.
Dao Yu Yue stared at the hand Xing Yuan was using to grip Hu Xiao Jing's arm, her expression growing colder. The demon-catching bag hanging from her waist also swayed slightly.
Her wife was too cold. Xing Yuan suffered from bloodline suppression and dared not approach. She could only pretend to be calm and look at her.
Dao Yu Yue's lips curved slightly, and the coldness on her face seemed to dissipate a little, but the words she spoke made one feel a chill all over.
"Two little foxes, actually coming to the capital. You really don't make anyone worry!"
Hu Xiao Jing finally managed to tear her gaze away from Yuwen. However, sensing the Taoist priest whose cultivation was far higher than hers, she immediately cowered.
"Senior, spare us! We will leave now."
Bad luck! This was her first time descending the mountain, and she had only been out for a few days before encountering such a person.
Wuwuwu x﹏x! Goodbye, my handsome man!
Perhaps today she would have to crush her only life-saving charm.
"Since you two have not taken any human lives, letting you go is not impossible! However..."
"Senior, please speak! We will definitely do it," Hu Xiao Jing said righteously.
As for Xing Yuan, she always felt that nothing good would happen and was trying her best to compress her presence.
"Very good." Dao Yu Yue smiled, and her face seemed to soften.
"I observed the celestial phenomena at night, and your friend has a special physique. Why don't you come back with me first, and I'll examine you carefully. If there are no problems, I naturally won't make things difficult."
"As for you! I will place a restriction on you! As soon as you use your demon power or kill someone, I will sense it. Once you use your demon power, you must leave the capital immediately. This is my bottom line."
Xing Yuan: Huh? Is she going to live with her sister?
Although she was certain that her sister in every world would naturally have a good impression of her, wasn't this good impression a little too much? Was it happening a little too fast?
Xing Yuan really wanted to refuse, at least to delay for two days so she could figure out what was going on.
