Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 46

Cai Bo'an sighed, and Lin Feng shook his head.

Startled by Liu Xicheng's shout, Qing Jianyue turned and saw them. In an instant, he laughed like a mischievous child, waving and jumping up and down. He jumped, and the white fox jumped too—truly, like master, like fox!

"Brother Lei, you're back. Hahaha, Miss Yang missed you so much. Miss Yang has become even more beautiful. Whether you miss her or not, it doesn't matter, I can make her miss you in your place."

Lei Yongxiang's cold face lengthened, and he snorted, "A complete mess."

Cai Bo'an, Bai Yiting, and Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Xicheng blurted out, "It looks just like a monkey, not cute at all."

Another palm strike came down, and Liu Xicheng clutched his head and screamed.

Less than an hour after returning to the fortress, Lei Yongxiang and Liu Xicheng rushed back to the front lines. Inside Lujia Fortress, preparations were in full swing; a real war was about to begin. Life or death would be decided in the next two days.

The moonlight was soft and the night sky was clear and bright, and the Shuxiang Courtyard was quiet and peaceful. A gentle autumn breeze blew in, and a clump of bamboo outside the window cast its swaying shadows onto the bamboo curtain. Inside, the candlelight was bright, and Lu Qingcheng and Bai Yiting sat facing each other on a soft couch playing chess, while a white fox squatted beside them watching. Whether it understood the game was unknown.

Tonight is the most important night. The enemy has already infiltrated the enemy's ranks, and the reason Lu Qingcheng is playing chess by candlelight is to await news from the front.

On the carved table, dishes of delicacies were presented to Kiyomi Tsuki as the white rabbit moved them, like a hundred flowers blooming. Kiyomi Tsuki stared in astonishment, her two dark blue crystal eyes wide, drool dripping from her gaping mouth.

The white rabbit smiled sweetly and said, "Young Master Jianyue, do you like it?"

Lu Qingcheng and Bai Yiting looked in their direction.

Kiyomi Tsuki blinked, swallowed hard, and stammered, "Did you make all of these yourself?"

"Hmm." The white rabbit nodded with a smile. "It took me a whole day to make these side dishes and snacks. I'm really exhausted. But as soon as I think about how I made them for Young Master Jian Yue, I immediately feel full of energy and all my fatigue disappears."

Lu Qingcheng gently stroked the white fox's soft, snow-white fur. "Fox, you've grown quite a bit. By winter, this fur will be so beautiful it'll dazzle people."

The white fox grinned happily, its long tail wagging.

Qingjian Yue was moved to tears. "Miss Bai, you are such a good person. You are the most beautiful, kindest, gentlest, most considerate, and most adorable person in the world. Du Fangwei must have cultivated virtue for three, no, four, no, five lifetimes to be able to marry you. Otherwise, the God of Marriage would never have been willing to marry you to him."

The white rabbit covered her blushing cheeks and giggled, "That's too much of a compliment."

Lu Qingcheng muttered under her breath, "To say such cheesy things for a little food. How shameful!"

Bai Yiting smiled and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

Kiyomizuki couldn't wait to grab her chopsticks and snatch the mouthwatering snacks from the plate.

"Wait." The white rabbit raised her hand to stop her, her pretty face hardening. "I have a condition."

Kiyomi Tsuki asked in surprise, "Conditions?"

The white rabbit chuckled slyly, "Let me play with the fox for three days."

Kiyomi Tsuki was taken aback. "What?"

The white fox's ears perked up alertly.

Lu Qingcheng let out a soft breath, as if to say, "I knew it."

The white rabbit's cunning smile was like that of a wildcat toying with a mouse. "If you agree to let me play with the fox for three days, you can enjoy this whole table of delicious food as you please; if you don't agree, hehe, I'll throw all this food into the pond to feed the fish."

Kiyomi Tsuki stared wide-eyed at him, her lips pressed tightly together, unable to utter a single word.

Over there, Lu Qingcheng waited quietly. He wanted to see if Qing Jianyue could resist the temptation of the delicious food.

"How about it, Young Master Jianyue?" The white rabbit grinned like a little witch. "My skills are even better than those of Granny Cai and Miss Zhou. If you don't believe me, you can ask Enforcer Cai."

At some point, Cai Bo'an appeared at the door of the study.

Qing Jianyue glared at Cai Bo'an, "The Grand Enforcer, is it true?"

Cai Bo'an forced a smile and said, "Yes, Miss Bai's cooking skills are indeed famous as top-notch in this fortress. Even the fortress lord likes the dishes Miss Bai makes."

Kiyoshi immediately stared at Lu Qingcheng again.

Lu Qingcheng recalled, "The box of pastries that I asked Wang Jie to give you a few days ago was made by Miss Bai herself."

"Ah!" Kiyomizuki exclaimed, "I remember now. That box of sweets was indeed so delicious that it felt like being in heaven. I was also very surprised that the kitchen had hired such a skilled pastry chef."

"Now you should know, right? That pastry master is me." The white rabbit smiled proudly. "That box of pastries was just something I made casually, without using my full skills. But today is different; these are all my masterpieces."

Kiyomi Tsuki's saliva flowed like a small river.

Everyone thought to themselves: That's too much!

The white rabbit said, "Young Master Jianyue, you'd better make up your mind quickly. You know, these pastries will taste completely different if they get cold."

Kiyoshi raised her hand and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, while beads of sweat on her forehead fell like broken pearls.

"Young Master Jianyue, have you made up your mind?"

The white rabbit smiled and looked at the white fox crouching beside Lu Qingcheng's legs. The white fox arrogantly raised its head, as if to say, "Foolish woman, you think I, the Fox King, will accompany you? No way!"

Kiyomi Tsuki suddenly sneered, "Unless Fox is willing, I will absolutely not agree to your unreasonable request."

Lu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving this answer.

This was completely unexpected for White Rabbit. She was furious and embarrassed. "Kiyomizuki, how dare you refuse me?"

"This isn't a matter of refusing or not refusing. I have no right to decide anything for the fox. I've said it before: although the fox is a fox, it also has a life and a soul. I will always respect it as I would a person, and I will never force it to do anything it doesn't like."

Kiyomi Tsuki's face suddenly became very imposing, and the white rabbit was shocked by his imposing aura.
