Arriving at the Rising Fox Sect

The massage now done, Xiao Fan is lying on the king-sized bed with Meng Chin, who towards his head was facing.

¨If you were always this active I might actually fall for you¨ He spoke.

Xiao Fan wasn't kidding right now, she was a bomb in terms of looks, and the few ideas she had were decent, yet her laziness was a huge turnoff.

Xiao Fan at the moment thought that only hardworking people were worth the effort to be uplifted by him while someone like Meng Chin who only lazed around was... Well, that was his thoughts at the moment, yet at a later time, his opinion about always pushing it to the limit would die down.

Meng Chin, who after a session was now purring on his chest replied ¨Why are you in so much hurry?¨

Hearing this Xiao Fan frowned a little and stopped caressing her long black hair, for why was he like this?

¨Why wouldn't one be productive¨ His tone carrying a hint of confusion.

¨If you work hard what do you get?¨ She spoke while nudging so that he would continue or else. Meng Chin knew that Xiao Fan didn't like her all that much, but as long as he does what she tells him, she doesn't care much.

¨Easy, if you work hard you will have more money, power, fame, beauty...¨ He didn't need to think much to know why one wanted power, the reasons were endless.

¨There are myriad of things to focus and dedicate your life into, and yet you laze around¨ He spoke without care that she would reprimand him for saying that she was lazy.

¨Sure all of those are nice, but even if you do all that you still only live for a hundred years or so¨ She lamented.

Xiao Fan just got the first syllable of ¨actually¨ out before realising that it wasn't such a good idea to say about how he was 99% certain that humans can live longer than a hundred years.

So his brains for a moment worked overtime while at the same time he lengthened the ¨t¨ to come up with a new sentence.

¨Act~~tually you are right about that one¨ Was the new sentence which pleased Meng Chin.

¨See it doesn't matter, as even if one would reach the legendary Qi Realm, that person might live longer a couple of years, but in the end, the amount of work required wouldn't pay off¨

¨So tell me why are you always in such a hurry, you have no need to be so hardworking and all of that stuff? It would suit you much better to spend your days with me¨ She said as one of her slender fingers that had no nail polish on it wandered on his stomach.

At this point, Xiao Fan might be convinced by her alluring wording about spending his life with her this way, yet after remembering having a debt of 155 years to a certain deity, he again wasn't. Plus, in his speculation about longevity through cultivation was he 99% certain it being true, and this was only because of his debt and what Cao Cao had told about the gods to him.

The 1% of uncertainty also came from Cao Cao for he was a God of Neutral Chaos, meaning that everything could be lies.

However being so confident as Xiao Fan about it being all true he couldn't just set up home with Meng Chin, Du Lan, Qian Ki, Zhuan An, and Fei Sun and then call it a life. There was still so much to do before it, and only doing the things he had promised for Qian Ki would most likely take him to the peak of Qi Realm a thought that might make Meng Ching sick if heard.

All of these points together Xiao Fan spoke after a minute of gathering everything ¨You remember those two women of mine that you never found?¨

¨I let them escape¨ Meng Chin said with words and actions as her slender nail penetrated his skin and drew blood.

Xiao Fan not seeing yet knowing responded quickly ¨Yeah sorry I forgot, thank you so much for letting them go¨ He lied that he believed in that.

There was no way that Meng Chin had let the two go. What happened most likely was that when Meng Chin came to him, she hadn't found them. Then her enjoying time with him, there was no one speedy enough to catch them anymore, letting them escape the neophytes pursuing them.

¨Neverthless, I have promised to that Qian Ki girl that I'll help her reclaim her family status and avenge those speaking ill of her¨ He spoke in a way that Meng Chin could hear his resoluteness to do it.

Pulling her fingernail inside of his skin out, she responded ¨That's one hell of a promise you have there, but what makes you think I'll let you go? Maybe I'll let you reunite with them at some point, but leaving me is a different thing¨

Although she might sound a little displeased and threatening Meng Chin, in reality, was a little taken for someone like Xiao Fan promising something he was sure to do it or die trying. This in itself wasn't the thing because what she was really taken by was that he would go so far for someone like her and thus begun to test him a little.

¨You want to help that sp...¨ She never got to further as Xiao Fan without a second thought blocked her mouth from saying anything.

¨Never say that around me or you will be on the death list¨ He wouldn't want to kill her, but the current him didn't like her enough to spare her either.

¨Tch¨ Came a voice while Meng Chin pushed his hand, blocking her mouth with all his cultivation only with her tongue.

¨Do what you want, just yet never let me be alone¨ She spoke as if she was even a tiny bit hurt from his actions. She was and wasn't, and it went like this, for she certainly was a little angry at him for his action was a showcase who mattered to him more. But it had also been only her testing him out, so she wasn't angry in a way either.

¨Will you someday dare to say those words?¨ Xiao Fan hadn't heard a no, and so until he heard a positive response, he as Qian Ki's man and pillar of support wouldn't let Meng Chin go.

Meng Chin seeing him pretty much put his life on the line was now even more impressed for his effort to make her say it. ¨If you act nicely from now on I will never call her with those words¨ Her voice now indifferent again.

Already when she had gotten to that ¨I will never¨ part of her sentence, she felt how the hand that had again stopped to move now continued to caress her hair.

Meanwhile, as Xiao Fan continued to pander her for the rest of the night the carriage they were riding inside of was getting ever closer to the Rising Fox Sect's home mountain.

By the next day, they were actually so close that in the morning when he took a look outside from the small window that was covered with something so that no one could see inside.

But now pushing the curtain aside, Xiao Fan saw their destination.

A mountain that wasn't too tall or steep could be perceived from the side window of the carriage. The mountain itself wasn't so much a mountain than a massive mound for there was no peak or slope insight only a steady incline and decline could be said about the figure of the mountain.

Though this might be different in reality, as a thing he had been told concerning the sect was that the sect itself is blocking almost all view into the mountains figures.

For the mountain was covered with cherry blossom trees from top to bottom ¨Which one of those is yours?¨ He spoke, scanning the mountain.

Hearing something being asked, Meng Chin crawled to the window next to him, looked for a moment before pointing her finger at one of the trees in the top part of the mountain.

¨That one, the which is withering¨ She spoke as if not caring about the whole tree.

¨You don't even take care of your cherry blossom tree?¨ Xiao Fan exclaimed a little. From what he had heard, the cherry blossom tree was like a sign of their life and such. Every person inside the sect cultivated a cherry blossom tree and made it as a manifestation of himself or herself, yet Meng Chin didn't even water her tree often?¨

Then staring into her eyes confused, he got why it was so ¨You don't seem withering to me at all¨ He smooth-talked. Even if this wasn't the reason, it was a perfect chance to gain some points.

And she did giggle hearing this ¨No, no. I don't have it like that because of that¨ She spoke ¨The reason I keep it so is to advertise my laziness and indifference¨ She then explained.

A gush of wind flew inside Xiao Fan's head.

¨You really have it for those reasons?¨ Surely she was joking with him and not actually being serious about the reason.

¨It is¨ She saw him not beliving, and so restated her reason. Yet when she did so, laughter escaped her mouth, letting Xiao Fan know that she was joking with him.

¨Okay, I heard that now tell me the reason¨ Something like that wouldn't escape his hearing.

¨It is for that reason. You see when everyone wants to take the best care of their trees and take great pride in it, and while doing so everyone leaves the offbeat person alone¨ She stated a reason that went okay with Xiao Fan.

Although in reality, she said so was because the last talk they had made her think that maybe not always being so lazy was a good thing. She could obviously see that Xiao Fan disliked her for that reason only and because of that didn't genuinely like her or play with her.

Knowing this had made her want to change her image a little so that he would slowly begin to like her.

Why didn't she do a complete turn?

Well, because she wanted to see how lazy she could be while enjoying his genuine love and favour.

¨Thank god, you have at least some reason¨ Xiao Fan sighed in relief.

Saying this made Meng Chin angry at him as she poked another hole into him, which was then proceeded by her ordering him to dress her up into some actual clothing.

Moments later, Xiao Fan had dressed her up in so much clothing that he couldn't for once see her navel, which was a surprising sight to him. However, not wanting another poke, he didn't make a remark concerning her new dress and so quietly left the carriage behind Meng Chin.

Stepping out they were already at one of the gates inside the Rising Fox Sect, or more specifically, they were at the gate separating the outer and inner sect from each other.

They had stopped here as even an elder couldn't take a carriage into the inner sect, for horses had been deemed too ugly to enter. And even this insane rule had insanity in it for Xiao Fan had been explained that it wasn't against horses but the ugliness of them.

In simpler terms, if you got enough beautiful people to pull your carriage, you could use a carriage inside the inner sect.

Thankfully Meng Chin wasn't such a person, and so they would be taking a short walk, first at the outer sect and then in the inner sect.

These inner and outer rule sect rules had also made things a little complicated for the gates, as because of that the two gates separating the two areas had become market roads.

On the other hand, this was the first convenient thing he had seen about the people who were a part of the Rising Fox Sect. But this also meant that it was quite comical as the moment one stepped inside the inner sect could one see a definite appearance change in the faces and bodies of everyone.

Xiao Fan even stood under the gate for a moment to turn his head to look at this phenomenon around him, laughing.
