Chapter 203

  Madam Hu said, Wen Ting was stunned for a moment, but then his face turned bright red, and he almost dropped the ceramic tea cup in his hand.

  "Get married"

  Wen Ting obviously didn't expect his parents to call him specially, and suddenly said such words, he didn't even know how to react, and was so flustered that he looked like a busybody.

  The Fox Spirit's gentle response was "Not bad."

  She said, "Originally, you and Meng'er are still relatively young. In the past, young masters usually only prepared for engagement at the age of coming of age. But you had your Spiritual Awakening early on, so the situation was a bit special, and you and Meng'er got engaged early on. Now that your feelings for each other are very good, and you've been engaged for several years already, and you're also very close in your daily lives, I think it's not too early to get married either. Let's arrange things now, the two of you can be together, and it will be more proper."

  When Wen Ting heard Mrs. Hu say "very close in daily life", he couldn't help but show obvious embarrassment. He naturally understood that Mrs. Hu's words were hinting at something, and could even see the playful meaning in his mother's eyes.

  Fortunately, Huo Zhu remained calm and collected, without any special reaction.

  Wen Ting's head was still dizzy, he asked "C-could it be... is this too early?"

  Upon hearing this, even the normally stoic Fox Master couldn't help but crack a smile. He said, "It won't be difficult, rather it's better to say that the timing is still suitable. Confirming things now will have benefits for both of you in your future cultivation and studies together, as well as handling various matters in the Fox Palace, Qingqiu."

  The hostess laughed and asked, "Ting Er, didn't you ever think about when to get married with Meng Er?"

  How could you not have thought of it?

  Wēn tíng xīn yuè yún mián, xiǎng yǔ tā qīn jìn. Tāmen liǎng rén zhī jiān yǒu hūn yuē zài shēn, tā shí cháng dōu zài xiǎng xiàng jiāng lái yǔ mián ér chéng qīn de shēnghuó, měi yī rì dōu zài xiǎng hé shí néng yǔ tā chéng qīn. Dàn yǐ wǎng qīng qiū xiān zhǔ chéng hūn dū huì zài dìng hūn zhī hòu jǐ nián, kuàng qiě dàng chū yún mián yǔ tā yǒu hūn yuē shí liǎng rén dōu nián jì shàng xiǎo, lián qíng ài wèi hé wù dōu bù zhī, tā yě bù zhī dào yún mián xiàn zài shì shén me xǐn fāng, jué dé bù dà hǎo tí.

  Wen Ting's lips trembled slightly as he opened his mouth and said "I... I have thought about it."

  He paused for a moment and asked again, "Mother, have you asked Meng'er about this matter?"

  "Not yet."

  The hostess of the fox looked at Wen Ting's expression and replied curiously.

  "I was going to ask you first, and then call Yunmian over to sleep together tonight, and also ask her opinion together. But do you want me to call her over now to ask together?"

  The mistress of the fox host didn't mind, and as she spoke, she got up, intending to find someone to call Meng'er over together.

  "Whatever you do, don't"

  Wen Ting suddenly panicked and hastily blocked the way.

  The mistress of the fox host asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

  Wen Ting looked a bit embarrassed, his face had a faint flush of embarrassment, and his ears also slightly trembled for an instant. The Fox Master's wife was familiar with her son's habits and expressions, so she naturally understood his current awkwardness, and patiently listened to him speak.

  Only after a long while did he finally speak up and say "Mother, don't you say anything, I'll go ask myself."

  He said, "At first, I chose Yunmian as the young master's wife without asking her opinion. At that time, Mian'er was still young and probably couldn't think it over carefully, nor did she understand what marriage meant. I didn't understand either, and I had already made a mistake. If you were to represent me again this time, it would seem too perfunctory on my part. Last time, I didn't ask her in person, so this time I should be the one to ask Mian'er personally."

  The indoor light is transparent and bright.

  Wen Ting stood in the immortal palace, still wearing the solemn attire of his coronation ceremony. His body was straight as a pen, and under the bright daylight, his expression was very determined.

  Hú Zhǔ and his wife were taken aback by this, never expecting that Wén Tíng had such thoughts.

  Seeing him like this, the Fox Master and his wife exchanged a glance, both of their faces showing a mixture of emotions. The Fox Mistress said, "If that's the case, then you can go ahead and do it yourself. When there's news, don't forget to tell us."

  The fox master said faintly, "Don't let Meng Er down."

  Wen Ting bowed deeply and said "Thank you, Father, thank you, Mother."

  He walked out of the immortal palace with a flush on his face, and just thinking about asking Yunmian in person made him feel apprehensive.

  How should he ask Meng Er, what would she think, and how would she answer?

  Wen Ting quickly returned to the immortal feast, but still couldn't help feeling uneasy.

  That night, after the fairy banquet ended, Wen Ting sat alone in his study, lost in thought. The candles in the study flickered, casting a warm glow that seemed to bring out the quiet mystery of the night. Wen Ting propped himself up against the desk, and Yunmian had long since fallen asleep, but he couldn't focus on his book.

  Hu Qi stood by the table helping Young Master Huo to tidy up and grind ink, having almost finished cleaning up, he was about to leave with satisfaction.

  At this time, however, he suddenly heard the young master ask hesitantly, "Hú Qī."

  Hú Qī yìng dào "ńg"

  Translation:

  Hu Qi replied with a "hmm".

  Wen Ting's face turned red as she said, "You think that if I were to ask Meng Er to marry me again, she would agree?"

  The fox under the seventh foot slipped and almost knocked over the inkstone.

  The fox turned its head seven times, but saw that the usually calm and taciturn young master's face was flushed, his eyes flickering, and his fingers tapping restlessly on the table, indeed looking uncertain and concerned.

  However, Hu Qi suddenly thought of picking up the inkstone to hit the young master's head. He hadn't even asked for a marriage, how would he know? The words said that at his age of several hundred years, he had never been in love with anyone, and both the young master and the young mistress were not yet over a hundred, only nineteen or twenty years old, but they looked very serious and determined. Looking at the young master's appearance, it seemed like he was deeply in love.

  "Hu Qi smiled and said, 'You're so close to Yun Mian Xianzi, and you've already been engaged for a long time. Yun Mian Xianzi is not unaware of this, so there's definitely no need to worry about anything going wrong. Why must the young master be so anxious?'"

  Wen Ting's face turned red as he said, "Talking about romance and getting married are two different things. Meng Er may like me now, but she hasn't necessarily thought it through to marry me. I'm afraid that if I ask her rashly, she'll be put in a difficult position."

  Wow, you seem to understand pretty well.

  Hu Qi cried and laughed at the same time, shaking his head and saying, "With Yunmian Xianzi's good temperament, she probably won't refuse."

  He thought this would comfort the young master, but unexpectedly, Wen Ting listened and said bitterly: "I'm worried about this very point. Meng'er's temper is too good, I'm afraid she can't bear to refuse me, so maybe she won't think it through. But if that's the case, I'm afraid she hasn't considered it carefully, and marrying me isn't her true intention. Fox Seven, what do you think I should do?"

  Hú Qī has no experience, and can't help but say "Why bother being so entangled"

  However, seeing the young master's appearance, it seemed that he was indeed worried. Except for Master Hu and Madame Hu, Fox Seven was the elder who had been with Wen Ting for the longest time and had the deepest feelings. In the beginning, Master Hu and Madame Hu also valued his ability to get along with young people, so they let him accompany and teach the young master. Fox Seven looked at Wen Ting's appearance and felt heartbroken, thinking that if he didn't come up with any ideas, he would be disappointing Master Hu and Madame Hu's trust.

  He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "If not, you'd better find an appropriate time to ask. Worrying too much now won't do any good. In any case, Young Master, you'll have to ask eventually. If you don't speak up, you won't know what Yunmian Xianzi's intentions are. If the fairy doesn't want to get married so soon, then Young Master can wait a bit longer for her. If things become awkward between you two, just spend some time together and clear the air. You'll be able to go back to normal eventually. When the timing is ripe, try again."

  Hearing these words from Hu Qi, Wen Ting's heart finally calmed down a bit, but thinking about how to bring it up with Meng Er, he still felt hesitant.

  Wen Ting had finally returned to her bedroom after putting away all the books in the study late at night.

  Yunmian has already fallen asleep in bed.

  Wen Ting lightly jumped in, and as he entered the bedroom, he instinctively transformed into a fox form, making his footsteps light and less likely to disturb Yunmian.

  He jumped lightly onto the bed and wrapped his tail around Yunmian.

  Although Yunmian had heard that Ting was asleep, when she didn't see him return, she obviously wasn't sleeping soundly. As soon as she heard a noise, she immediately woke up. When Yunmian saw that it was Ting who had returned, she was overjoyed and rubbed against his side with a "wu wu" sound, snuggling into his arms, her nine tails all curled around him, the little fox tightly pressed against Ting, nuzzling his chin with a spoiled expression.

  Wen Ting held her tightly in his arms and comforted her, saying "Sleep."

  Yunmian closed her eyes and soon fell asleep in the gentle breeze of the courtyard.

  Wen Ting gazed quietly at Yun Mian, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He stared for a while, then silently looked out the window at the familiar scenery outside, including the Xian Hua tree with its lush branches stretching out in front of their window. After a short while, Wen Ting finally closed his eyes and leaned against Yun Mian, falling into a deep sleep.

  A few days after the end of the coronation ceremony, Yunmian was reviewing books with other disciples in the library.

  Up to now, the disciples gathered together to listen to the big class cultivation have become less and less, but the few servants still often gather together to discuss and review. They have more things to learn than ordinary disciples, and they often have the opportunity to hear the teachings of Master Hu and Mistress Hu, their cultivation is similar and suitable for competition, so staying together to cultivate and learn has great benefits for each other.

  Of course, it's also important to accompany the young master.

  The young masters and servants around were either discussing or quietly doing their work, making the small room in the bookcase very lively.

  At this time, Wenhe suddenly walked to Yunmian's side, looked around strangely and asked Yunmian "Tuantuan, didn't the young master come today?"

  Yunmian was originally choosing books, but after hearing Wenhe's words, he looked around and indeed did not see Wenhui.

  "She hesitated and said 'He seems not to be here today.'"

  Although attending activities with the young master and his servants is not mandatory, Wen Ting's absences are actually rare. His occasional absence does indeed make people notice.

  Wenhe seemed to want to discuss something with Wen Ting, but seeing Yunmian didn't know either, she just smiled and said "Maybe he's busy with something."

  "Want me to ask him for you?"

  Wenhe smiled at Yunmian and said, "No need."

  Wenhe and Yunmian chatted for a few sentences, then took his own book to read, but left Yunmian tilted her head, with some doubts.

  Wen Ting has indeed had something to attend to in the afternoons these past few days, but it doesn't take long, just about an hour or so. He's not one to neglect important matters, and the coronation ceremony is already over, so Yunmian isn't quite sure what he's busy with either.

  Thinking of this, Yunmian also became somewhat absent-minded while flipping through the book.

  The young masters and servants who were studying in the library spent about an hour and a half, until the time was almost up, everyone went out together to prepare for their respective returns to the immortal palace. They walked shoulder to shoulder in threes and twos towards the outside of the library, but when they reached the door, Yunmian saw Hu Qi waiting respectfully at the library entrance, waiting for her to come out.

  Yunmian saw Hu Qi, and the other young masters' attendants naturally also saw him. Everyone knew that Hu Qi was a high-ranking attendant of the young master, so seeing him waiting like this, they all involuntarily slowed down their pace.

  Hu Qi had been standing quietly and calmly, but when he saw Yun Mian, a modest and humble smile appeared on his face as he took a step forward and said, "Yun Mian Xianzi."

  Hou Qi looked at Yunmian with a bewildered expression, then smiled politely and said, "Young Master has something to discuss with Cloud Sleep Fairy today. May I invite the fairy to return to the immortal palace for a visit? Is it convenient for Cloud Sleep Fairy to follow me now?"

  The update speed is the fastest, hurry up and come!
