35. The thirty-fifth step of the minister

Xiao Qiao had just come out of the palace gate, and he was a little tired after a busy day today because of the problem of food and grass. After saying goodbye to the teacher, he got into the carriage of the Xiao Mansion.

Shuzhu leaned over, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Qiao's hand, and said in a low voice: "Young Master, the little boy is back." But ......"

"Huh? But what? Xiao Qiao took a sip of tea, moistened his lips and tongue that had been dry all day, listened to Shuzhu's slurring, and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"However, the little boy looked in a bad mood," Shuzhu paused, "In the past, the courtyard was lively when the little boy came back, but this time he came back, and the whole person didn't talk much, and he was worried when he looked at it." Moreover, the two senior brothers of the little boy also came with him! โ€

Originally, listening to the front, Xiao Qiao was in a good mood, although he felt sorry for Hu Li's wilting and spiritless appearance, but he probably thought that Hu Li was really enlightened, and he should be worried that he was a fox. As a result, Shuzhu said that if Hu Li's two senior brothers were also with him, did he want to take Hu Li away?

"Go home, hurry up!" Xiao Qiao put down the teacup and frowned slightly.

"Yes, young master." Shuzhu hurriedly opened the carriage door and instructed the coachman outside the door, "The eldest young master has something urgent to go back to the house, hurry up." โ€

"Okay!" The coachman flicked his whip, and the horse began to run much faster.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Xiao Mansion, without waiting for the carriage to stop, Xiao Qiao jumped down from the carriage, and Shuzhu shouted in fright, "Young Master, slow down." โ€

Xiao Qiao paused, and the previous anxiety on his face calmed down, it was he who was flustered, and the more panicked he was, the more unfavorable it was.

"Little junior brother, I will be outside with your senior brother for a while, if he dares to talk nonsense or hurt you, we will let him know why the flowers are so red." Lang Jun patted Hu Li's head to reassure him.

Hu Li, who was originally a little dull, smiled at Lang Jun, Lang Jun pinched his cheek and pulled, "I just have to laugh, no matter what the result is, it's not that he can't live, right." โ€

Hu Li bent his eyes, but he didn't echo his words, who knows if he can live or not? Maybe after a while he will forget the life he has lived since this time, maybe he can remember it for a lifetime, maybe...... Maybe he really won't be able to live.

"Xiaoli, both of you are here." Xiao Qiao walked in, and there was no anxiety or panic on his face in the carriage.

"You talk, let's go out first." Lang Jun dragged Xiong Ming out, and before leaving, he gave Hu Li a thumbs up.

"Come here, enough of playing outside?" Xiao Qiao beckoned to Hu Li, Hu Li walked over slowly, and Xiao Qiao dragged the person to his lap and sat down.

"Brother Xiao, I want to ...... I want to tell you something. Hu Li lowered his head, showed Xiao Qiao with his hair exposed, pinched his fingers tightly, and said uneasily.

"Hmm...... What's up? Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's waist and leaned over to look at his lowered eyes, "So unhappy, do your senior brothers want to take you back?" โ€

"No, it's not." Hu Li shook his head, bit his lip and lowered his head again, and it took a long time to raise his head, "Brother Xiao, can I close the door?" โ€

Xiao Qiao waved his hand and closed the door with a strong wind, and waved his hand at Xia Yi and Xia Si on the beam, signaling them to go out, "Okay, let's talk." โ€

Hu Li struggled for a while, and Xiao Qiao let go of him.

"Brother Xiao, there are two things I want to say." Hu Li stood in front of Xiao Qiao, his delicate face tense for the first time, "Brother Xiao, I'm ...... I'm a fox. โ€

Xiao Qiao sighed in his heart, sure enough, Hu Li has been so entangled these days, not necessarily because of his identity.

He looked at Hu Li with a smile, Hu Li looked at his calm appearance, his eyes were directly red, and he pointed at himself tremblingly, "Brother Xiao, I am a fox, a fox spirit, do you understand?" โ€

"I know," Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, whose eyes were red, and felt distressed, stood up and hugged the person into his arms, patting his back comfortingly, "I know you are a little fox, a little white fox with four tails." โ€

Hu Li pushed Xiao Qiao away, and the power that belonged to the demon fairy even Xiao Qiao couldn't resist, so he could only be pushed away and sat on the chair behind him at once.

"You know, how do you know?" Hu Li panicked in his heart, although he was ready to tell Brother Xiao that he was a fox, but how could Brother Xiao know about it a long time ago?

"Have you forgotten the day you got drunk?" Xiao Qiao touched his back that was pushed into a chair and hit it painfully, stood up and hugged the person into his arms again, and gently comforted Hu Li, who was already fried, "That day, I will know." โ€

"Brother Xiao, aren't you afraid? I'm a fox demon! Hu Li was taken into Xiao Qiao's arms, feeling the warmth and broad shoulders of Xiao Qiao's body as always, his nose was sore, and he choked up, "I'm a fox demon who can dig people's hearts." โ€

Xiao Qiao smiled lowly, lowered his head and kissed Hu Li's side of โ–กโ–ก's neck, and the warmth in his neck made Hu Li's whole person tremble. The voice in Xiao Qiao's chest seemed to be accompanied by a harmonious sound, "Are you going to dig out my heart?" โ€

Hu Li's whole body froze, and it took a while before he softened and shook his head, "I cultivate as a demon immortal, and I don't eat people's hearts." โ€

"And what am I afraid of?" Xiao Qiao let go of Hu Li slightly, raised his head, looked at his clear eyes, and lowered his head slightly to kiss his forehead, "Xiao Li, do you not believe me or do you believe in yourself?" โ€

Hu Li didn't understand, looked at Xiao Qiao suspiciously, Xiao Qiao chuckled, sat down again, and almost couldn't hold back when he touched his back that was hit and hurt, and Hu Li couldn't cry when the time came.

"If you believe me, you know I don't care if you're a human or a demon. If you believed in yourself, you wouldn't ask me this question, because you wouldn't dig out my heart, would you? Xiao Qiao nodded the tip of Hu Li's reddened nose, "Moreover, I know that you understand my feelings for you." โ€

Speaking of this, Hu Li's face turned red instantly, he lowered his head in a panic, and put his hand on Hu Li's chest, as if he could push Xiao Qiao who was close to him away.

"Hu Li, I like you."

Hu Li's head was about to smoke all of a sudden, and all that echoed in his mind was the sentence "I am pleased with you, I am pleased with you, I am pleased with you......".

"Xiao, Brother Xiao, I, I, I ......" Hu Li's ears were so red that they were almost dripping blood, Xiao Qiao chuckled and opened his lips to take it in, and licked it gently.

Hu Li's whole body froze at this moment, he subconsciously dodged to the side, but was blocked by Xiao Qiao's hand holding him, his eyes dodged left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Xiao Qiao.

"Brother Xiao, you let go of me, I still have something to say."

Xiao Qiao let go of him, looked at his moist right ear, and licked it again, "It doesn't hinder you to say this." โ€

Hu Li's face turned even redder, he snorted for a long time, stretched out his arm around Xiao Qiao's neck, his mouth was close to Xiao Qiao's ear, and his voice was small, "Brother Xiao, I also like you." โ€

Xiao Qiao's narrow eyes widened slightly, although he knew that Hu Li should be enlightened, but he didn't expect him to sue him directly.

"Heh-" Xiao Qiao chuckled, his forehead against Hu Li's forehead, looking at his shy eyes, "Xiaoli, do you know what you said?" โ€

"I, of course I do." Hu Li suddenly amplified his voice, but lowered his head as if he was empty-hearted, "I know that Brother Xiao will marry his own son in the future, and the old lady has already started to choose a wife for you." I am, that is, I want to sue you, if you marry a wife, I will go back to the mountains. โ€

Xiao Qiao sighed lowly, this sigh made Hu Li's whole body tremble, and his fingers grabbed his clothes spasmodically. Xiao Qiao gently broke his fingers and held them in his hand, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "I am fortunate to make a little fox like me, how can I marry a wife and have children, and let this little fox down." โ€

"And this little fox is going to cry, I don't want to." Xiao Qiao raised Hu Li's face, looked at the corners of his red eyes and the tears that were almost flowing, and leaned over to kiss the corners of his eyes and eyebrows in distress.

Hu Li pursed his lips embarrassedly, he didn't want to cry.

"Brother Xiao, if you don't marry a wife and have children, the old lady will definitely be sad." Hu Li was lying on Xiao Qiao's shoulder, and before he thought about it, when he accompanied the old lady to choose a future wife for Brother Xiao, he just felt that those people were not good-looking, and they were not worthy of Brother Xiao at all. But now, when he thinks about those women who are said to have both talent and beauty, he feels pantothenic acid in his heart, but Brother Xiao is a human being, he will always marry a wife and have children, and he will have many children.

"Don't think nonsense," Xiao Qiao didn't know how to convince the old lady for the time being, but he had an unsatisfactory life in his previous life, and he always had to live the life he wanted in this life, and he would no longer be shackled by others, "When it comes to marrying a wife, unless you leave one day, I won't go to find a woman to marry." โ€

Hu Li shook his head, he lay on Xiao Qiao's shoulder again, and wrapped his arm around Xiao Qiao's neck, "Brother Xiao, I'll teach you to cultivate." โ€

"Cultivation?!" Xiao Qiao didn't think about cultivating with Hu Li, he knew that human beings had a limited lifespan, and when he was gray-haired, Hu Li couldn't say that he still looked like a teenager. So he originally wanted to find Master Puhui, after all, he is a high monk, and he will always know something about human cultivation, and he has been sending people to find Master Puhui who doesn't know how to drill into that mountain now.

"Well, I'll teach you to cultivate." Hu Li wiped the tears that remained in his eyes, "There are human cultivation techniques in my inheritance, I just looked at it briefly, it may not help you much, Brother Xiao, you have to go to enlightenment yourself." โ€

"Okay." Xiao Qiao is not afraid that Hu Li will harm him, such a little fox is simply like a blank piece of paper, you can let him paint on it and draw the appearance he wants.

But looking at the way he looked at himself trustingly, Xiao Qiao chuckled, let him grow up freely, and he would not be allowed to suffer.

"Brother Xiao, there is one more thing." Hu Li moved embarrassedly, originally he didn't want to tell Brother Xiao about this matter, but the senior brother and the second senior brother said that if they didn't tell Brother Xiao, it would be bad if something happened.

"Huh? What else? Xiao Qiao affectionately pinched his cheeks, which had been a little thin in recent days, Hu Li pursed his lips embarrassedly, and his face was red and he didn't say anything.

Xiao Qiao looked at him puzzled, Hu Li leaned into Xiao Qi's ear like a strong man with a broken wrist, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, my estrus period is advanced. Grandpa will come in the next few days, and the second senior brother said that grandpa will bring me Yanqing Dan. โ€

"Yanqing Dan?" When Xiao Qiao heard that Hu Li was about to come into heat, he was overjoyed, but when he heard that Grandpa Hu was coming, he didn't feel much of it.

"Well, it's an elixir that can delay estrus."

Xiao Qiao: ...... A bolt from the blue!
