Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 16 The gentlest woman in the world

The late winter sun is neither thick nor blazing.

The green pines are hung with rime, the snow paths are secluded, the springs are clear, and the birds and rabbits are everywhere.

Lu Chenran sat cross-legged in front of the lake, with a woven fish cage in front of him, holding a willow branch in his hand, meditating quietly.

The snow fox lay beside him, on all fours, blinking its eyes constantly, looking at the fish swimming under the lake.

Before he knew it, he had been sitting here for three hours.

In my mind, the title page of the golden book floats leisurely:

[Being connected with the ice-free spring water: (1/1)]

[The unfrozen spring water in the mountains is sweet in taste. Those who drink it regularly will have longevity. 】

【.】

[Befriending Sword Water Dragon Yin: (1/365)]

[Befriending the Northern Snow Fox: (3010/3300)]

There was a gentle breeze blowing his gown.

Then, on the title page of the golden book that belonged to Bingquan alone, writing quietly appeared:
  [Become acquainted with the non-freezing spring water and acquire the water-repelling technique (elementary level)]

【.】

A row of cranes soared into the water-washed blue sky. Lu Chenran took a long breath and brushed the hem of his robe.

Silently feeling the great power given by nature in the body, looking far away, the eyes are so clear that they seem to contain the still water of the lake.
  "Water repelling technique?"

"."

At this moment, he heard the crunching sound of snow under his feet behind him.

"Brother Lu, could it be that you didn't sleep all night?"

The sun was a bit dazzling. The young prince covered his brows with his hands, half-closed his eyes, walked towards him from a distance, and asked.

Lu Chenran calmed down, brushed the hem of his robe, looked at the young prince, and stretched:
  "I have become accustomed to meditating all night long."

"Brother Li, did you sleep comfortably? I saw you were so sleepy at dawn that I couldn't bear to wake you up."

"."

Li Zijun walked to him, handed over the folded fox fur in his hand, and squatted down next to him:

"Thanks to Brother Lu and Hu Qiu, I slept soundly last night and was warm enough."

"."

He reached out and wanted to touch the white snow fox, but he never expected to be glared hard by its fox eyes.

She looked at the snow fox with some embarrassment. It seemed that she had wanted to buy it before, which left a very bad impression on the fox.

Then, she spoke to the fox, with a hint of pleading in her voice:
  "He is still a vengeful fox."

"Can I apologize to you? Just let me touch you."

"."

The snow fox glanced at her disdainfully, raised its head proudly, walked gracefully to the other side of Lu Chenran, then curled up into a ball, covered its paws with its furry fox tail, closed its eyes and fell asleep. .

"A vixen with bad intentions."

Suddenly, Xue Hu was stunned for a moment, blinked her fox eyes, and a wisp of red clouds rose from her ears:
  ".How can you scold yourself?"

The young prince stared at Xue Hu who was far away from him with a bit of resentment in his eyes, shook his head gently, and then put his hand on his cheek and looked sideways at Lu Chenran, who was still meditating.

The light touch of the sun illuminated his face, making it more crystal clear than jade.

It is undeniable that Lu Chenran is very handsome, with a pair of sword-like eyebrows raised slightly, and those clear eyes that are shining brightly without looking at him.
  Following his footprints along the way, walking slowly on the snowy path in the pines, occasionally there were bushes tugging at the robes, and birds gradually chirped on the branches. Li Zijun felt that there was a vast expanse in his chest, and he had never felt so comfortable. .

"What is Brother Li looking at? Is there something on Lu's face?"

The sudden noise startled the young prince, and then she coughed slightly, pursed her lips and smiled:
  "What is Brother Lu doing with a willow branch? It's not fishing, is it?"

"."

Lu Chenran blinked at her and shook the pole in his hand:

"It's just fishing."

The young prince was stunned for a moment, then he raised his lips and joked: "The Prime Minister Jiang Gong of the Great Zhou Dynasty always fishes with a fishing line, but Brother Lu only uses a willow stick?"

"Isn't it a little too perfunctory?"

"."

Lu Chenran squinted his eyes, looked at the deep lake in front of him, and then flicked the willow branch in his hand.

As the flexible branches swayed with force, a line of water rose up from the lake, like a fishing line biting the branches.

"Dole—"

The water line has entered the water, and a small ripple has appeared on the lake. The ripples spread. Lu Chenran smiled and joked:
  "Brother Li, how does Lu's fishing line compare to Mr. Jiang?"

"."

Li Zijun stared at this scene with wide eyes and eyebrows full of disbelief. Then she took a deep breath and said softly:

"I won't make a fuss if Brother Lu does something strange from now on."

Lu Chenran smiled and said nothing. The water-repelling skill (elementary level) he was about to acquire could not block the river and avoid the water, but it was easy to control the water by condensing it.

The two sat cross-legged by the lake, chatting happily while waiting for the fish to bite.

What fishing requires is patience. Lu Chenran is very thoughtful and his intuition is extremely keen. He can detect even the slightest movement in the water line formed by condensed water drops under the water. He does not need to worry about being distracted by chatting. fish.

"Why does Brother Lu have to go to Beijing to seek immortality?"

"For my aunt."

"Well, I don't quite understand something."

"literal meaning."

"Was Brother Lu raised by his aunt? Where is Brother Lu's biological mother?"

"I am an orphan. My aunt picked me up under a big tree."

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, there's nothing I can't mention."

"Then what kind of person is my aunt in Brother Lu's mind? Is she gentle? Is she strict?"

"."

Hearing this, Lu Chenran pursed his lips gently and gently stroked the snow fox curled up beside him with his hand.

The fox held his breath and raised his ears for fear of missing any words.

Li Zijun looked into Lu Chenran's eyes silently. This was not the first time she had felt something similar from them. His eyes were like a deep pool. They were so clear, but they couldn't clearly see what was contained in the pool. .

Then, Lu Chenran chuckled and said a little shyly:

"Aunt Yisu, perhaps in the eyes of others, she has always been unsmiling, cold and unapproachable. But, to me, she is the gentlest woman in the world."

"Perhaps in her heart, I am still the little boy holding her legs, eyes wide open, reaching out to ask my aunt to shake a peach blossom tree for him."

"."

The snow fox's body trembled slightly, and its eyes were a little wet and red. Then it turned away and buried its head in its fluffy tail.

Hearing this, Li Zijun looked at the lake silently and remained silent.

Brother Lu's aunt? I really want to meet a woman who has been evaluated like this by Brother Lu.

At this moment, the willow branch in Lu Chenran's hand trembled slightly:
  "Brother Li, the fish bit the hook!"

He narrowed his eyes and shook his wrist vigorously.

"Whoa-"

A series of water splashes were pulled out of the calm lake in an instant. Water droplets splashed in all directions. Two grass carp jumped into the air and shook the ground. The light beam was slanted, and the fish scales were faintly tinged with gold.

Lu Chenran raised his sword eyebrows slightly and smiled casually.

"It seems that our lunch is in order."

"."
