Chapter 2026: The Fiery Red Fox Materializes
Little Taotie lay flat on the ground, completely disregarding his usual little cleanliness obsession, grabbing a handful of diamonds with his meaty little hands and tossing them upward. The diamonds fell one by one, like descending meteors.
Little Taotie giggled: "Even though they’re worthless, they still look pretty!"
Hua Jinyan also laughed along.
Little Taotie tilted his head to look at him: "Do you also like watching diamond meteors?"
Hua Jinyan was taken aback and nodded slightly.
"Wait and see!"
Little Taotie suddenly stood up, ran to the pile of boxes, stacked them like building blocks, then carried a big box up to the highest point, opened the box, and let the diamonds pour down.
"Huahua, look quickly! Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful."
He raised his head and gazed, not at the falling diamond meteor shower, but at the girl smiling sweetly with bright, sparkling eyes, as if she were bathed in countless starlight.
Feng Qi grumbled: "Keep feeding me dog food—I’m a fox, not a dog!"
The little boy Ghost glanced at her and closed his eyes.
"Mountain, why are you back in the painting again?" Feng Qi stretched out his paw, wanting to pull him out.
The little boy, with his eyes closed, still managed to evade Feng Qi’s paw.
"Why are you hiding!" Feng Qi, frustrated, slammed her paw on the ground.
The ground shook slightly.
Little Taotie almost fell from the high boxes and puffed up his little cheeks, looking towards Feng Qi’s direction.
At that moment, Feng Qi had already transformed from Great Beauty back into the form of Little Fox, with Little Fox’s cheeks also puffed up.
Little Taotie and Feng Qi stared at each other, both with puffed up cheeks, looking somewhat similar.
Little Taotie: "Why are you stomping your paws, I almost fell down."
Feng Qi: "How would I know that spiritual bodies could actually fall to solid ground."
As soon as these words were spoken, both were stunned again.
Little Taotie: "Did your paws hit the ground?"
Feng Qi: "I should be floating, how did... I touch solid ground?"
Little Taotie jumped down from the high boxes, scaring Hua Jinyan who quickly rushed over to try and support her. Little Taotie stood steady and waved her small hand: "I’m fine."
Hua Jinyan, still uneasy: "Don’t do that again, it’s too dangerous, you might sprain your foot."
Little Taotie stuck out her tongue, made a funny face, and ran over to Feng Qi’s side.
Feng Qi lowered her head, using her little paw to dig into the dirt.
The dirt flew up.
Little Taotie was surprised: "You can really touch objects now! Try to touch me, see if you can touch me."
Feng Qi nuzzled over, her furry fox face rubbing against Little Taotie’s face full of fur.
Little Taotie spat a few times: "The fur went into my mouth, wow, there really is fur!"
Little Taotie pinched a fiery red fox hair and examined it carefully, her eyes full of disbelief.
Feng Qi leaned in to watch too, equally filled with disbelief.
Having been a spiritual body for so long, the fox never had the worry of shedding fur, even if it fell, the fur would vanish in mid-air.
"Let me touch it."
Little Taotie cautiously stretched her little meaty hand towards Little Fox’s head, there was no flash of golden light in her palm, yet she felt the solid object.
It felt soft.
Furry.
A little warm.
Little Taotie was extremely shocked: "It has warmth!"
Neither noticed the little boy in the wall painting gradually becoming transparent and fuzzy.
Hua Jinyan frowned at the wall painting, sharply aware.
The little boy opened his eyes and met Hua Jinyan’s gaze.
Hua Jinyan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The little boy grinned, mouthed, "Battle—" and a rumbling thunder sounded, his face became completely blurry, unrecognizable.
Little Taotie was happily rubbing the fox, but the thunder startled her, she accidentally tugged out a few strands of fox fur.
Feng Qi cried out in pain: "Gentle!"
Feng Qi was stunned, dazed: "I felt pain!?"
