Xiao Yue jumped up and down saying: "The chapter updates are less than 50%, just wait until midnight and you can read it!" "... Wen, Wen Ting?"
Yunmian called out uncertainly.
"Uh-huh."
Wen Ting softly responded with a "yes".
Yunmian exclaimed in surprise: "So you can use a sword too?"
"Yes."
Wen Ting didn't answer much, probably because he couldn't remember himself. Yunmian responded with a "huh?" and stared at him blankly. She rarely saw people, so she hadn't expected Wen Ting to look like this in human form.
Yunmian didn't have a deep concept of beauty or ugliness. She only knew that Wen Ting looked like he had an unusual aura about him. He stood in the snow wearing light-colored clothes, making her want to get close to him, yet she felt that he looked... not as approachable as she had imagined.
Yunmeng had dozed off for a while before she came to, and she waved her tail which was still in the hole. Only then did she realize that with half of her body in the hole and half out, she was being quite rude to Wen Ting. She quickly crawled out of the hole, looking embarrassed.
Wen Ting originally just came out to exercise his muscles and bones. When Yun Mian came out to look for him, he thought of transforming back into a fox and returning with her. But who knew that the next moment, he only saw a flash of light in front of him.
Wen Ting was slightly stunned and hadn't reacted yet when she saw the bright light dissipate, Yun Mian transformed from his original form into a human body.
Now the green hill is covered with snow, and the sunlight is reflected by the snowy ground, making it even clearer and brighter. Yunmian, originally a white ball of cloud, suddenly transformed into a woman, wearing a plain white dress sitting on the ground. She slowly opened her eyes, and in her almond-shaped eyes, there seemed to be shyness and confusion.
Yunmian tugged at his own hem uncomfortably and said in embarrassment: "My body... has always been like this."
Wen Ting didn't expect her to transform at this time and was stunned for a long while.
The sight of Yunmian was lovely, and he had always thought that Yunmian's fox form was cute, not at all as unattractive as the red fox had said on that day. However, when he saw her transform now, the first thing that flashed into his mind was a strong sense of familiarity. This familiar feeling that stimulated his memory almost made him dizzy in an instant, and it wasn't until he calmed down slightly that he managed to steady himself.
Wen Ting understood and thought that Yun Mian was suggesting they should exchange favors, she had seen his true form, so she should also show him hers.
Then he looked at it seriously and nodded: "Good, I remember."
Yunmian anxiously touched the three red birthmarks on her forehead and asked, "Will they be very noticeable?... Are they ugly?"
"It's okay."
"...you are beautiful."
Wen Ting said so, Yun Mian suddenly became happy and carefree, transforming back into a small white fox. With a joyful "yip", she ran towards him.
Wen Ting saw the situation and also put away his sword, transforming back into a fox shape. Two white foxes rubbed against each other in the snowy ground. Then... Yun Mian let out a sneeze.
"Mmm... zzz."
Yunmian was startled by her own sneeze, and her footsteps became unstable. Xiaobai's body tilted to one side and sat on the ground. She inadvertently closed her eyes, and when she opened them again after finishing the sneeze, she looked around in a daze, tilting her head slightly.
"Let's go inside, it's cold outside."
"Good."
Yunmian got up, wagged his tail at him and quickly returned to the fox den.
Wen Ting followed closely behind, also dragging his tail and disappearing into the cave entrance.
……
Before I knew it, it was already the next day.
It was just early morning, and the fox officer was on duty as usual in front of the school. By rights, it wasn't yet time for the little foxes to come to class. The trees outside the school were lush and green, but somewhat desolate. Suddenly, he saw two white balls walking towards him from afar, one in front of the other, and was startled for a moment.
Yunmian was more familiar with the road and was happy to lead Wenhui, from time to time jumping a few steps forward, then turning back to shake his tail and urge him on.
Today they agreed to come and ask Huo Guan about Wen Ting's admission, but were afraid it would be inconvenient when there were many people, so they got up early on purpose. Yunmian walked excitedly, Wenti's pace was steady, even though Yunmian sometimes ran a little faster, he didn't see him fall behind.
The two quickly ran in front of Huo Guan.
Wen Ting was here at the book house for the first time. When he walked in front of Huo Guan, he didn't open his mouth immediately, but instead looked around.
The school stands in a deep forest on a green hill, it's a simple bamboo house, but the location is very large, and it's extremely sturdy, with a very quiet environment.
The fox official stood in front of the gate, looking at them with great surprise.
"Sir."
Meeting the gaze of Huo Guan, Yunmian hesitated for a moment before speaking up first.
"We have something to ask you."
"What?"
The fox official looked puzzled, but asked patiently.
The main fox official has returned to Qingqiu City, and the ones in the school are all easy-going local fox officials. They had already discussed it yesterday, but when it came down to it, Yunmian still felt a bit tense. She lowered her head, nudged Wen Ting forward, and said: "This is Wen Ting. He wasn't originally from here, but he doesn't remember anything from before... For the time being, he's living with me... He can't recall his memories for the time being, but he's also a fox of suitable age to start practicing... I don't know if he can practice with us here?"
Yunmian took a deep breath and said what she had thought of last night, enunciating clearly. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt nervous. Wen Ting was pushed by Yunmian, paused for a moment, then bowed his head to Fox Officer and greeted him sincerely.
Hú Guān was taken aback, his eyes unknowingly falling on Wén Tíng's body.
Now that the school has been open for some days, this batch of little foxes can almost all be recognized, especially Yunmian is one of the few masters' wives selected this time, so it's natural to recognize her. So Yunmian brings a small white fox she hasn't seen before, and he noticed earlier, but didn't expect such a reason.
Only saw that fox was also a white fox, with a red mark on its forehead, and its whole body was snow-white, looking very beautiful.
The fox official had seen many young foxes before, and as an older bystander, he could naturally see the differences between them. The fox in front of him looked like a normal age, but his temperament was quite different, looking very calm and having a clear spirit. Although Yunmian said that he didn't remember things from before, he didn't show the confusion and panic that young foxes of the same age would have, instead showing calmness and politeness as if it were normal.
"Wēn tíng..."
The fox official hesitated for a moment, thinking about it, but seemed to be in a difficult situation: "Recently, there has been no news of any small fox from the mountains going missing without reason. This kind of situation seems unprecedented. You wait, I'll go ask the main fox official."
Saying so, Huo Guan summoned Xianyun and hurriedly flew towards the East Immortal Palace of Fox Master.
After about half a time, the Fox Officer returned in a hurry, his face slightly different, and said: "The Master Fox Officer said it's okay, you can go in for class today. However, don't make too much noise, the little foxes are not familiar with you yet, just find a seat and listen to the lesson."
Hú Guān hadn't finished speaking when Yún Miàn excitedly cheered and jumped up, spinning around in circles and rubbing against Wén Tíng's body.
Wēn Tíng was dazed by the cloud's gentle touch and narrowed his eyes. He turned to Huì Guān and thanked him, saying: "Thank you, sir."
"It doesn't matter."
The fox official smiled and said.
Yunmeng happily ran into the school, and Wenyin followed closely behind.
The fox officer watched as two foxes ran into the study, one in front of the other, before withdrawing his gaze, a look of surprise on his face.
According to the previous master's statement, there is no missing little fox, but a fox with lost memory appears here. It's more likely that it accidentally encountered some kind of fate or calamity rather than getting lost. A fox of this age is unlikely to have gone through a heavenly tribulation. While it's not impossible for one so young to encounter fate or small calamities, such cases are extremely rare.
Due to limited time, they didn't get to say much in detail. The host official told them not to disturb, but the fox officials couldn't help feeling surprised and took a few more glances.
On the other hand, Wen Ting followed Yun Mian, who was skipping and jumping, all the way into the school.
He was here for the first time, and couldn't help but look around curiously. He glanced at his surroundings, feeling unfamiliar, and asked: "Yunmian, are the structures of the book halls in Qingqiu similar?"
"What's wrong?"
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, thought for a moment, and then shook her head obediently: "I haven't been to any other bookstores, I'm not quite sure... but it should be about the same, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Wen Ting nodded his head.
At this time, the two of them happened to walk to the entrance of the arena, Yunmian quickly accelerated her pace, suddenly ran into the arena, turned around and jumped back and forth waiting for Wenhui, then Wenhui came in together, she ran deeper again.
The meditation cushions in the dojo do not have a fixed position, and they are all casually seated. They came extremely early today, and the dojo was empty, so of course, they could choose freely. Yunmian immediately rushed to the front row with excitement, chose the cushion in the middle of the first row, climbed onto it, and spread out all his prepared paper and pen, with a grand atmosphere as if he was going to take a big exam.
Wen Ting sat down beside her and also put down the paper and pen she had prepared.
Because of the official fox's back-and-forth trips to the East Fox Palace, half a time had been wasted, and now it was time for other foxes to arrive at the arena.
One after another, small foxes came to the Taoist temple. They saw Wen Ting, who they had never seen before in the temple, and were somewhat surprised. However, since Yunmian was sitting next to him, no one dared to come up and ask questions, so they could only wander around the back of the temple for a couple of rounds before finding their own seats. Later, as more people arrived, the number of those who noticed Wen Ting gradually decreased.
Xī Yuán and the three foxes came in, as usual sitting in the last row. Since there were already many foxes inside the Daoist temple, they casually scanned around but didn't see Wén Tíng, thinking nothing of it.
About a moment later, the fox officer entered the Taoist temple. He first lectured on the Tao for a while, and Yunmian happily scribbled down notes with his brush, but he had only been writing for less than half an hour when he heard the fox officer suddenly stop, pause, and then change his tone.
"We have been studying for a period of time, but since our transformation, we haven't let everyone practice human form cultivation yet."
In the quiet dojo, Fox Officer said loudly.
"In the future, there will be many occasions where you will need to use these skills on your own body, and many of the techniques I have taught are more suitable for practice in human form. Therefore, today I want everyone to transform into human form and go to the back mountain to review the techniques I previously taught, do a simple test, and see what level everyone is at."
As soon as the voice of Huo Guan fell, Yunmian was stunned for a moment, and the Taoist temple also started to make a noise.
"Xiyuan, can you use your human form?" Qingyang asked concernedly from behind, "Although I've transformed into a human shape, I don't think I've ever seen you use magic in your human form."
"What's difficult about this?"
Xī Yuǎn disagreed and said.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but after opening it, he closed it again.
Since he lost to the white fox that day, he occasionally appears to be annoyed, but it's not too obvious.
Wenhe and Qingyang didn't really mind this matter, Xiyuan had won for so many years, after all, it's just an occasional loss. It could also be a coincidence. Seeing him being so certain, they didn't ask more questions and stood up to transform into human form one after another.
The changing rooms for men and women are separate and located next to the dojo.
Most of the little foxes are not used to human form, even if they can transform, they don't like to change often. Most people haven't changed back to human form since transforming, and now they're not skilled at it either, sometimes forgetting their ears or tails, taking a long time to adjust before being able to meet people.
Xi Yuan got it right in one go and changed faster than anyone else, so she simply went out of the house and waited outside the school.
One after another, the foxes who had transformed back into their human forms came out of the house. Some people didn't realize they had changed and happily ran outside only to be pushed back in by the Fox Official. Suddenly, Xiyuan heard Qingyang's voice behind him say: "Xiyuan!"
The update speed is the fastest, hurry up and come!
