Chapitre 2

"They threw in counterfeit money!" the river shrimp exclaimed angrily.

“Hehe…Speaking of counterfeit money, I once…” Catfish began slowly.

"Old Catfish! Don't change the subject!"

Chapter Four

Finally, the black fish and the dragon met the fox who had fallen in love with a green dumpling.

It was just an ordinary little fox, about the size of a house cat, with red fur. It lay by the pond, rolling around in a field of alfalfa.

"Ah... I miss it here so much... Kunlun is so boring..." the fox said coquettishly, hugging a clover flower.

"Hey? Fox, did you go to Kunlun? What were you doing?" the carp poked its head out and asked.

"Learn the art of transformation..." the fox laughed.

"Transformation magic? That's amazing..." the demons exclaimed.

To cultivate from a living being into a demon grants one a human form, but this form is fixed and requires a higher level of cultivation and spiritual power to change at will. For the fish in the pond who only know how to gossip, this is simply impossible.

The fox laughed triumphantly, "Of course..." In an instant, it transformed into a charming woman, holding a flower in her hand and smiling.

"oh……"

"And then..." It transformed into a handsome young man, then into a frail old man, and finally into a toddler learning to walk...

"Fox! We admire you..." the demons exclaimed.

"Hehehehe..." The fox became even more smug...

"Hey, fox, why did you learn transformation magic? Aren't your true form beautiful?" the black fish asked after thinking for a moment.

"No..." The fox transformed into its true form, a charming and adorable young girl, smiling innocently. "It's because my original form is too big to fit through the dog hole in the Taoist temple... I'll learn the Transformation Technique, then I can turn into an ant... Oh, by the way, my little fox form just now was actually a transformation..."

= = | | |

"Why did you have to crawl through the dog hole in the Taoist temple?" Chi blinked, puzzled.

"It's not like we're going to see its Master Ji You," the river shrimp sighed.

"Why should we watch that Master Ji You?" Chi still didn't understand.

"Because of love..." the demons sighed.

"Why is it love..." Chi still didn't understand.

"Truly worthy of being called an idiot (螭)..." For the first time, the river shrimp and the carp reached a consensus.

"Oh dear, please stop talking, I'm so embarrassed..." The fox crouched in the flower bushes, feigning shyness.

"Little fox, you're not quite as good at imitating people," the catfish said earnestly as it floated to the surface.

"Really?" The fox touched its face.

Suddenly, a boy of about 17 or 18 years old emerged from the bamboo forest. He was stunned when he looked up and saw the fox.

The demons in the pond immediately shut up and watched what was happening before their eyes.

"Completely stunned by my beauty..." the fox whispered to the catfish.

The catfish sighed.

"A demon!" the boy shouted, pointing at the fox as he came to his senses.

"How could it be seen through so easily?!" the fox exclaimed in shock.

"Didn't I say your imitation wasn't good enough?" the catfish continued to sigh.

"You're the fox spirit who always comes to the Taoist temple to steal green dumplings!" The boy said indignantly, pulling out a talisman from his pocket.

"You...you've mistaken the fox for someone else...no, you've mistaken me for someone else!" the fox explained.

= = | | |

"Don't try to deny it, your tail is still sticking out!" The boy threw out the talisman.

= = | | |

The catfish shook its head. "I told you it couldn't even imitate a human properly."

"Is its cultivation really that high?" All the demons sighed.

Just as the talismans were about to touch the fox's clothes, the fox waved its hand, and the talismans fell to the ground.

The boy frowned, just about to make his next move. Suddenly, the fox uttered a soft command: "Freeze."

The boy stood frozen in place, his whole body stiff, and could only stare intently at the fox.

"Hey kid, don't go too far! Speaking of my relationship with your master, Ji You, it goes back 800 years. It was a bright spring day, full of birdsong and fragrant flowers..."

One hour later

"So, how could you attack me like that? Hmm? By seniority, I might be your teacher's wife..." the fox said happily.

The demons yawned as they watched the twilight begin to spread.

"Tch." The boy scoffed.

"What?!" The fox rolled up its sleeves, ready to continue its discussion.

At that moment, a white light rose from the pool. When the light faded, a beautiful young woman dressed in white stood by the pool, looking at them with a smile.

"Solve." The girl tilted her head and said, "Fox, please stop bullying him."

The fox scratched its head. "Who are you?"

The girl smiled and said, "I am Bai Chi."

The fox and the boy were both stunned. "Idiot (Chi)?"

"It's the water official here...it's a dragon..." the blackfish and carp immediately declared, "It's a Chilong..."

"Oh..." The fox and the boy suddenly realized, then exchanged another glance and began to kill with their eyes.

"We're all good people, let's not fight," Chi said, taking the hands of the fox and the boy.

The boy's face flushed red instantly, "...Mmm..."

The fox sighed, "Since Lord Water Official says so, forget it, I won't hold it against you."

Chi laughed, "That's right, let's all be good friends..."

"No wonder he's an idiot (螭)." The carp exclaimed.

"Ah Bai is so amazing!" Blackfish exclaimed, moved.

"Does the water official still look like a water official?" The river shrimp nodded.

"Sister Bai Chi's true form is so beautiful..." the crab said happily.

"What?! Remember, Crab, fairies should keep a low profile, the more ordinary their true form, the better!" the carp said.

"Why?"

"If she's too beautiful, it'll be easy to tell she's not an ordinary person, and the Taoist priest will come to catch her soon!" River Shrimp sighed and added.

"But Taoist priests don't know how to catch immortals."

“Idiot, if you go out looking like that, people will immediately say, ‘A celestial being descended to earth!’ Your identity will be exposed!” the carp said seriously.

"oh……"

"Carp, you know so much..." Blackfish said admiringly.

"That's right, who am I..." the carp said smugly.

"Carp!"

"Heizi!"

...

The boy standing on the shore stared wide-eyed at the chaotic scene in the pool. "Wow, so many fairies..."

"Hey, young man! I'm a catfish from the pond, everyone calls me Old Catfish." The catfish stroked its whiskers and greeted him.

"Even catfish are fairies?" the boy asked in surprise.

"Hehe... Speaking of catfish, they're also fairies, I once..." the catfish said happily.

"Old Catfish, don't change the subject!"

Chapter Five

For some reason, the blackfish developed a liking for qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumplings). However, qingtuan aren't available every season...

Blackfish lay on the grass with a worried look on its face, gazing at the sky, which was as blue as a dumpling.

"Hei Zi, don't do this..." The carp also transformed into human form and walked ashore. "Fine, I'll go with you to steal from the Taoist temple?"

"With your skills alone?" The river shrimp climbed onto the rocks on the bank, waving its tongs and sunbathing.

"You don't actually like Ji You GG like I do, do you?" the fox exclaimed in surprise.

Blackfish sighed, "I guess I just like red bean paste filling..."

"Hehe, speaking of red bean paste, I once..." The catfish surfaced and spoke.

"Old Catfish, don't change the subject!"

= =#

Suddenly, all the demons fell silent, and the only sound was the wind rustling through the bamboo leaves.

The blackfish and carp couldn't get back to the pond in time, so they could only stay in their original positions and watch the person who came out of the bamboo forest.

He was a man of about 20 years old, dressed in white, with his jet-black hair loosely tied with a dark blue ribbon. His appearance was just average in the eyes of the demons who were used to seeing beauties, but his eyes were exceptionally beautiful, so deep black and clean beyond compare.

"Sorry, I'm lost..." He scratched his head and smiled innocently.

"Oh." The blackfish and the carp nodded in agreement at the same time.

The man paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, I was asking for directions..."
