Yunmian held onto the lamp and followed the direction of other little foxes by instinct.
She vaguely realized that the person who had given her the lantern should be the Fox Officer in charge of guiding the little foxes, and these little foxes were all going to attend the Moon Worship Festival together.
After all, it was nighttime, and the woods of Qingqiu were quiet and dark. Yunmian soon discovered that the lanterns in her mouth could be used for lighting and guidance. She followed the direction guided by the lanterns deep into the mountains, where the ground was covered with fallen leaves and flower petals, and everywhere was lit up with sparkling lights, like stars guiding the way. She stepped on the ground covered with flower petals and soon followed other little foxes to an open space, where she saw other little foxes shaking their tails, exchanging laurel branches with adults who had transformed into human shapes, and hesitantly imitated them by going forward.
There was a friendly young woman from Qingqiu with a sprig of laurel in her hair, and a red cord with golden pearls on her forehead. She saw Yunmian nervously approaching, smiled at her, checked Yunmians appearance and age, then took out a sprig of laurel and a set of snow-white clothes from the basket beside her and handed them to Yunmian.
"A skirt is something you wear when youre in a transformed state."
The woman kindly reminded: "Its still a while before midnight, youd better wait with the others around here first."
Yunmianmiang nodded vaguely, holding a laurel branch and her clothes, ran a few steps anxiously, and sat down on a small empty space.
The little foxes around were excited, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright.
Yunmian had never seen so many foxes of her age at once, only to see them playing and frolicking happily, occasionally flirting with the nearby fox officials, all looking very lively.
At this time, Yunmian was here, and Sanhuo, who often troubled her, was also looking for her.
"Xi Yuan, will the Eight Freaks of Jiangnan come?"
Everywhere was lit up, and foxes were frolicking about. Three foxes accompanied a person who played and strolled along, but they couldnt find any trace of the little white fox that usually appeared after half a day.
Qingyang didnt actually care much about it, he was still enjoying the excitement and wandering around happily. But when asked casually, Xiyuan replied firmly: "Impossible! Every year, there are records of how many foxes want to transform into human form, although the eight clowns dont have names, their characteristics are so obvious, if they havent come yet, the Fox Official must have gone to find people!"
"So it was like that?"
Qingyang said strangely, but he didnt know this either.
Wen He saw Xiyuan still looking around, and couldnt help but soften his heart: "Xiyuan, why dont we just call it a day today? Its rare to worship the moon, let her rest for a day too."
"No! I must let you see what she will look like when she transforms!"
Xī Yuán said resolutely.
He cautiously looked around, sniffing the air from time to time, but today there were too many foxes in this area, and the scent was too mixed up. He couldnt find the scent of that little white fox he was looking for. Xi Yuan felt a bit annoyed. He frowned unhappily and said, "Ill go take a look over there, you guys wait here, if you see Xiao Ba Guai, call me."
Wenhe was taken aback and said: "But its almost time for the Moon Worship..."
"If I havent returned by the time its due, lets each go our separate ways and meet again later. Ill definitely be able to recognize you all!"
Xiyuan quickly said that as he spoke, he had already jumped up and in the blink of an eye, he had dived into the pile of foxes.
Qingyang and Wenhe exchanged a helpless glance, but they were somewhat used to Xiyuans self-centeredness, so they didnt say much and just waited in place as he had said.
At this time, a fox officer was seen checking if all the little foxes had taken their clothes and laurel branches, while patiently reminding them loudly: "Tonight, after transforming, go back and rest well for five days, and prepare to start learning at Qingqiu Academy in five days. This year, everyone will first study in the academy for ten days, and then take a unified assessment, selecting those who will accompany the young master to enter the Fox Palace... did you all remember?"
The words of the fox official were obviously directed at all the little foxes, some of whom seemed to have remembered and excitedly rushed to him with cheers, while others were playing with his legs in a carefree manner, making it very lively for a while.
These things, Qingyang and the others had known long ago, but they were still complaining about the fox officials repeatedly mentioning it so many times. Qingyang flicked his tail and said indifferently: "Isnt it just to let us work hard for these ten days and then select the top ten with the best cultivation as the young masters study companions? Anyway, whether or not we are selected, we still have to study in the school for three years before going to the Fox Palace, do you need to say so many times?"
"Perhaps theyre afraid well forget?"
Wenhe guessed, but he was also a bit bored standing in place, looking around aimlessly.
Suddenly, at this moment, the originally bright moon suddenly became several degrees brighter, and it happened to rise to the middle of the sky. Wen He Qingyang only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the empty space on this side suddenly lit up a lot, and the scenery that was still shrouded in night color and slightly blurred could be seen clearly at once.
The surroundings suddenly became noisy, Wenhe and Qingyang were both startled, they exchanged a flustered glance with each other, and hastily took out the previously put away laurel branches and the clothes given by Huo Guan.
The fox music sounds, and the little foxes from all directions quietly come to a halt, listening for the sound.
Wenhe and Qingyang almost instinctively held onto the laurel branch, placed their changed clothes in front of them, faced the bright holy moon god, lowered their ears, bowed their heads, and made rhythmic "woo woo" sounds with the fox music.
The voice of the green hill fox is like that of a child, and the sound of the little fox is naturally softer than that of the adult fox. For a time, the melodious cry of the fox echoes through the sky and earth.
Wenhe only felt the moonlight brushing over his head, a slight warmth on his body, and a scorching sensation in his tail that wasnt uncomfortable. The transformation happened in an instant, and when he opened his eyes again, what caught his attention first was not himself, but the person beside him.
He only saw a dark-skinned and sturdy boy slowly raising his head beside him, he was also stunned for a moment, slightly opening his mouth: "You..."
"You..."
