Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 180

A cloak was draped over his shoulders, and Zhang Lang's respectful voice rang in his ears in a low voice.

A gust of wind blew by, the chill stinging her skin like needles. Qing Jianyue shrank her neck, quickly pulled her cloak tighter, and left, surrounded by Huang Chong, Zhang Lang, Guo Guo, and Mao Ying.

Beneath the pillars, Xu Lan's face twisted into a strange smile.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Schemes

Kiyomi Tsuki slept soundly, and when he woke up, he didn't even want to open his eyes. He lay quietly on the magnificent, intricately carved bed, a smile playing on his lips as he savored the soft comfort of the quilt. The gauze curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, carrying a faint, delicate floral fragrance, and the clear chirping of birds in the distance. How strange, why had everything suddenly become so beautiful and blissful?

The carved door opened, and a small creature darted in, leaping onto the large bed and jumping onto Qing Jian Yue. Then, something wet licked Qing Jian Yue's lips. Qing Jian Yue opened his eyes, and on him was a snow-white little fox, its golden eyes narrowed, its small pointed mouth wide open, and its large white tail wagging as it mischievously smiled at him.

A brilliant light shone in Kiyomi Tsuki's dark, crystal-like eyes. He suddenly stood up and pinned the little fox beneath him, kneading it. The little fox whimpered and struggled desperately to break free from its master's embrace, then pounced on him again. The two of them rolled and tumbled on the large bed, playing and laughing, their laughter rising in the room like the morning breeze.

A pair of feet clad in black boots strode steadily into the room, black robes billowing in the air as they moved. The person playing on the bed immediately became alert, sitting up abruptly, still clutching the little fox in their arms. The little fox chirped happily at the newcomer.

It's Lu Qingcheng.

As always, he wore a black robe; as always, his hair was jet black; as always, his eyes were as dark and deep as stars; as always, his face was handsome; as always, his posture was always upright.

But at this moment, everything seemed different to Kiyotsuki. As he drew closer, Kiyotsuki's heart pounded faster and faster, so fast that he almost wondered if his heart would jump out of his throat.

She is stunningly beautiful, yes, stunningly beautiful.

Kiyomi Tsuki's eyes sparkled with tears of joy after their brief separation.

Lu Qingcheng moved to the bedside, reached out and lifted the gauze curtain. His face was full of gentle smiles, and his eyes were filled with infinite doting and love for his beloved. His heart was also filled with excitement.

As he entered, he was greeted by his beloved's laughter, which felt like a gentle breeze, instantly washing away the tension of his all-night rush and the fatigue of a long day of work. Entering the room, he saw his sweetheart sitting on the large bed with its flowing gauze curtains, cradling the playful, snow-white fox in her arms. Her dark blue, shimmering silk hair cascaded down, and her face, upon seeing him, instantly became as radiant and beautiful as the morning sun. Good heavens, when had his beloved become so beautiful? The entire room seemed to brighten with her beauty.

Lu Qingcheng loved her dearly and adored her. He longed to rush up and hug his beloved tightly, but he was afraid of being too rough and scaring her. So, he sat down carefully and smiled as he admired the beauty of his beloved, a beauty that only he could see.

Did you miss me?

"think."

Kiyomi Tsuki only answered with one word, her love surging and turbulent in her heart like a tidal wave.

Lu Qingcheng was clearly very satisfied and happy, and his smile deepened. However, he couldn't help but tease, "Did you really miss me? Why do you look a little fatter? Hmm, you're all plump and healthy. When you go out, everyone will say, 'I've taken such good care of my Jianyue.'"

Qing Jianyue pouted angrily and shouted, "Hey, how dare you doubt me? I miss you, I miss you from the bottom of my heart, I miss you so much that my heart races, and when I race, I get hungry. Have you forgotten how I was so afraid of being hungry when I was little because we were poor and had no food? When I'm hungry, I want to eat. Also, when I miss you, I lose interest in playing anything. So, all I do is eat and sleep, sleep and eat. Even the little crow says I've turned into a pig. Old Wang said that I haven't seen Feiyun lately, and that kid's temper has become really bad. He bites and kicks people he sees, and he's injured several people."

The white fox cried out: "That's right, that's right, the little fox can testify. The master hasn't played with the little fox like that in a long time. As for that grumpy, smelly horse, just ignore it."

Lu Qingcheng smiled as happily as could be. "Is that so? I wronged Jianyue. Come here and give me a hug to apologize to my Jianyue."

Qingjian Yue immediately threw away the little fox in her arms and, like a little dog wagging its tail, excitedly and happily pounced into Lu Qingcheng's arms. She reached out and hugged Lu Qingcheng's neck, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter, and her crimson lips parting uncontrollably.

This embrace, this chest, how warm and comfortable it is! Hehe, it even surpasses the comforter.

The little fox jumped up in anger, "Master, how could you forget your beloved fox for a pretty face? I'm so angry, so angry! I'll go cultivate right away and become even more handsome than the Lord of the Fortress. Then, you won't be able to please the fox spirit—no, the Fox King—at all!"

Nobody paid any attention to it.

Lu Qingcheng adored the person in his arms. He wrapped one arm around the slender yet strong waist of his beloved, and with the other hand, he touched the burning face of his beloved, then placed it on the back of the head, and leaned down to kiss the lips of his beloved.

His long-awaited lips tasted like the finest vintage wine. His beloved was unusually gentle, opening her lips to let his tongue entwine and suckle. He kissed her deeper and deeper, his love growing stronger, until he couldn't stop, until the person in his arms nearly fainted from lack of breath, at which point he reluctantly released her.

Kiyomi buried his face in his chest, breathing heavily. Although he was a little annoyed that he had almost suffocated, he couldn't be angry with him at all. Was it because of love? Yes, the kiss just now had let him know how much he loved him, and how much he missed him. This love, this longing, couldn't be faked.

Lu Qingcheng didn't continue. He gently and lovingly stroked his beloved's dark blue, shimmering hair. Qing Jianyue also hugged him tightly, clinging to Lu Qingcheng like a piece of candy. He couldn't help but think of Lijiang and wanted to laugh. He always teased Lijiang for shamelessly clinging to Qingfeng, but now he finally understood. He loved this person too much; he couldn't bear to be apart even for a moment. This brief separation made him suddenly understand many things.

"Seeing the moon."

Lu Qingcheng's voice was slightly hoarse. Heaven knows how much pain he was in from the desire he was desperately suppressing.

"Um."

Kiyomi Tsuki tilted her head back, her smiling face radiating happiness and joy.

Lu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart, and kissed him repeatedly on the lips, "This time, it's all thanks to you."

Kiyomi Tsuki grinned, revealing her lips, now bright red from the kiss. "Qingcheng, are you going to praise me? Aren't I amazing?"

Lu Qingcheng was amused by him and laughed, "Yes, my Jianyue is really amazing. Everyone keeps praising you, even my mother said that this time it's all thanks to you."

Kiyoshi Tsuki pouted, "I don't care if others praise me. I only want you to praise me."

Lu Qingcheng hugged him and laughed heartily.

The white fox circled them several times, trying to squeeze its head inside, but there was no gap. The two masters, absorbed in their own pleasure, completely ignored it. The fox was furious, absolutely furious! It jumped off the bed, flailing its four paws angrily, wagging its large tail fiercely. It was furious! The moment its masters saw the lord, they betrayed it, going to find that wretched horse to sow discord, telling it never to give the lord a kind look again. Because their beloved master had been stolen away by the lord. Waaah… this fox is furious! When will I be able to become a demon, an immortal?

"Thanks to your quick thinking and composure, you not only protected Mother but also Qingfeng, preventing the castle from splitting and falling into chaos. Jianyue, you've done me a great favor."

Inside the room, Lu Qingcheng was holding Qing Jianyue as they lay on the large bed.

When did you forgive your mother?

Kiyomi Tsuki climbed on top of him and looked down at him.

"Before leaving, I went to say goodbye to my mother. She told me everything." Lu Qingcheng rested her hands on the back of her head, smiling as she looked at her beloved's beautiful face. "Three years ago, no, it should be said that it was even longer ago, the Sky Eagle Sect had been eyeing this fortress covetously. So, they secretly plotted and sent people to infiltrate the fortress. Liu Jianhua and his sister were spies sent by the Sky Eagle Sect to this fortress. Liu Jianhua took advantage of the grudges between my mother and Uncle Yan, and then used a honey trap to sow discord between my brother and me, ultimately leading to that tragedy. I am truly ashamed. After all, I was young and impetuous. When I sent people to arrest Liu Jianhua, he suddenly died in his residence. I was only trying to get rid of that person and vent my anger. I didn't think deeply about the fact that Liu Jianhua was actually silenced."

Kiyomi Tsuki asked in surprise, "Does your mother know about this?"

Lu Qingcheng nodded slowly.

Kiyotsuki thought to herself, "Old Jiang is truly cunning. I knew that old woman wasn't a simple character. The fact that she could find out about my background shows how skilled she is." Then she thought of Liu Mei, "Liu Mei must be unaware. Otherwise, she would have been silenced like Liu Jianhua long ago. She wouldn't have survived this long." At this point, Kiyotsuki immediately shut her mouth.
